Like the Pointer Sisters, I'm So Excited - I Just Can't Hide It!

Only 2 days left to go and we launch! Entertainment 4 Less is opening its doors and I can hardly wait. I honestly believe this will be one of the biggest income generating programs to ever hit the net.

In the last few days I have had several people join. I believe the reality of just how much income people will be able to generate is really setting in. With products that are widely used each and every day by the general public and the extremely low prices we will have, how could we lose?

And the pay plan at E4LBiz is unbeatable! For each personally sponsored person in my downline, I will make a 100% matching bonus on everything they sell also. This is definitely exciting, and I am looking forward to a great career with Entertainment 4 Less!

This is going to be a big-time winner and I am definitely looking forward to August 1, 2007!

A Mind is a Terrible Thing to Waste!

Ever have those days when you just can't stay focused on your home business? Well, today was one of those days for me.

Most days I am very well organized and get alot of work done. Today was one of those days when my mind just didn't seem to want to cooperate, and I spent way too much time just staring blankly at my computer screen, like "What do I do next?". I really hate these kinds of days, it seems that I have wasted so much valuable time that I could have been doing something that would really help my business. But, I guess everyone has those days. I'm just glad they are few and far between!

Well, tomorrow will be a better day, and I will accomplish enough to make up for today. That's the way I look at it, and it helps me keep a positive attitude, which is necessary when you have your own home business. Never lose your can-do attitude, no matter how bad of a day you have!

Me, Myself and I - Can You Work for Yourself?

Do you dream of starting your own home business? Well, why don't you? This isn't a difficult question. You probably have fears about following your dream or you would have done it already. We need to determine the things that are standing in your way and persuade you to let go of your fears and dare to do something different. Usually, what is keeping you from doing what you dream about is fear. Don't worry about your fear, it is a good thing! Fear keeps you grounded, but don't let it keep you from pursuing your dreams.

I have enjoyed working in several different areas during my working outside the home years, from being a hairdresser, to an accountant, to safety coordinator at a trucking company! I believe you learn new things at every different turn in your life. I know I certainly have! I enjoy the opportunity to learn new things, develop new friendships, and expand my horizons. Each new adventure can bring about challenges, problems, new realizations, and an abundance of knowledge!

I have many ideas in mind for working at home that I want to try at some point in time. You must get in touch with your inner creativity, find what interests you and how you want to spend your time. I believe that if you do what you really love, you will find success with that. Use your creativity and imagination, pick what interests you and decide how much time you are willing or able to spend.

When you are trying to work for yourself, there will be issues to worry about. If you are normally a two income family, you must recognize the risk of working for yourself. You may need to work a part time job for a while until you get your business up and running, and are bringing in a comfortable income. This may take a little while, but always keep your goals of working from home in focus.

Use your talents and hobbies to come up with something that you can do to bring in a good income. Thinks of the things that you love doing and enjoy. If you can do these things better than most others, perhaps you can do it for them and save them the time, while you make money!

My passions are candles, skin care and gift items. So I scoured the web, found some companies that were free to join and were marketers of these types of items, built me a website, and put these items on it! Many people create their own products, I just don't have that type of talent. If you do, go for it! Take pictures of your creations, build you a website and put your items on it and go from there.

I the proceeded to find every type of free advertising that I could possibly dream up. I used free classifieds, free safelists, and forums on the internet. I made up my own flyers on my computer and distributed them all over town, at the local college, stores, the tanning salon, everywhere I could possibly leave my flyer. I made invitation cards to hand out to people that I know inviting them to my website! Use your imagination, there are literally hundreds of ways to advertise your business or service at absolutely no cost to you. And realize that one difference between working outside the home and working at your home is you won't have the expenses of gas, eating meals out, and other overhead costs associated with working out in the public.

Put your mind to work and explore all the things that you love to do and enjoy doing. These will work well for you in starting your home business. Don't endeavor to do things you really don't enjoy doing just for the money, if you do you might as well be working for someone else!

Always remember, money isn't the only important part of being self-employed. Your enjoyment in what you are doing is just as big a part of your business! The more you love and enjoy what you are doing, the better and more prosperous your business venture will be!

And you have all heard of people who are talkers, and people who are doers. Alot of people can talk about what they are going to do really well, but if you want to be successful, don't talk, just do it! Be a doer! Take that first step to release your fears, get your ideas together and go with it! You can be successful, if you truly want to. Believe in yourself and put your fears aside.

Change Your Way of Thinking - It Will Change Your Life!

Do you allow your internal negativity to inhibit your dreams? You know that you can sabotage your dreams of working at home without even realizing that you are doing it.

You dream of working from your home and earning a huge income. Over time, you search for every e-book, training manual and any other information you can possibly find or purchase to help build yourself a profitable and successful business that allows you to work from your home and earn a great income.

You converse with your sponsor, spend hour upon hour studying your training materials and e-books learning the best ways to promote your business, place some ads occasionally, and try to improve the search engine optimization of your website.

You still wonder, "Why is this not working? What am I not doing, or doing wrong?"

You see thousands of opportunities on the web every day, and hop from one opportunity to the next, thinking one of them must be the magic money-maker. You lose more money, and you are getting desperate.

Your internal negativity is in control, causing you to believe that you cannot succeed in your home business. It is ruining your confidence in yourself, your ability to have a successful business, and as a result, you don't make much money. You are making yourself believe that you cannot be successful.

If you let your negativity take control, others on your team, your sponsor, your downline, can all sense this. You cannot come across as a leader and a success if you don't let go of your negative attitude. If you don't take control of it, it will destroy your dreams and visions of being a successful work at home entrepreneur!

You must have faith and confidence in yourself to be successful at anything in life, whether it is parenting, your job, your talents, etc. If you let your negative inner instincts take over, you will be a failure in whatever you attempt to accomplish.

Try to think about your negative thoughts and actions, and overcome them. Don't let those negative thoughts take over! Be aware of what is going on, and change your way of thinking to "I CAN do this!". You won't believe the difference in all areas of your life, including your success in a work at home business, if you change your way of thinking into positive actions. Believe in yourself, think positive thoughts and others will see it too. This will have a great impact on the success in your life!

Put positive thoughts and energy into your work and your life. You will reap many rewards!

Essentials for Success - Your Home Business

There are many things to consider when you start a home business. How much time is involved? How do I promote this business? How much money will I have to invest? Lots of things to think about.

Many people believe you can work for thirty minutes per day and make alot of money. In most cases, this is just not true. Having a truly successful home business requires at least 3-4 hours per day. It is a good idea to make a list of everything you would like to accomplish each day.
As you start your day, I think it is a good idea to ignore your e-mail until all of your work is done for your business that day. Reading e-mail can sometimes get you side tracked for hours at a time.

There are endless ways to promote your business. Online, you can participate in forums and advertise your service and products there. You can start your own blog and invite others to join and comment (also putting your ads there, of course), submit your ads to online newsletters and ezines, and of course, classified ads.

Other ways to advertise your business online are to put up your profile on My Space or submit a lens on Squidoo. Of course advertise your site or link on these also.

A great way to promote your business is by submitting articles. Write on any subject that you know alot about, and advertise your business in your article. Articles improve your SEO dramatically. I believe this is the best way to advertise your business.

As far as how much money you will have to invest, that varies greatly.

Some people are very efficient at advertising without ever spending a dime. Others advertise by doing Pay Per Clicks, solo ads in e-zines, Google adwords and other avenues. This just really depends on how you advertise and what tactics you use.

You can also advertise your business very effectively off-line! Send newsletters in the regular mail, hand them out to businesses in your area (your doctor, hairdresser, local store, etc). Leave your business card everywhere you go! Also be sure to put your link in your signature of every e-mail you send out. There is no limit to how you promote your services.

In summary, spend plenty of time researching and organizing your business. You can find plenty of tips and ideas in newsletters, forums, and blogs. As for how much you spend to advertise, that is totally up to you and your imagination!

Good luck in your venture. It will be fun and profitable if you conduct it properly.
