Home Business Tips - Are You Waiting For Perfection?

Are you waiting for circumstances to be perfect before you take the plunge into your home business? You could be waiting a very long time, because what is perfection right now may not be in a week, a month or a year.

Changing on the outside is not the solution, however changing on the inside will enable you to see more of the perfection in yourself and in others.  Three habits you can adopt right now are:

 be happy now

chose what you want to do next

start working towards it

Put things into perspective, ask yourself “in 5 years from now how will I feel about this?”  You can use that perspective now and skip all the part where you feel bad.  Earlier this year my dog Veddar died.  At first I had a terrible time because I missed her so very much, I was having my own little pity party.  Then I remembered hearing about this perspective on a CD!  Once I switched my thoughts from “poor me” to what a good dog Veddar had been I was able to skip a large part of “feeling bad”.  Don’t get me wrong I still do have the feelings come up but I am able to see them from the 5 year perspective which has been very healing.

One of the fundamental laws in psychology is; you get more of what you focus on.  One of the simple ways to change your focus is through the questions you ask yourself.  A good one to ask yourself when things are “going off the rail” is:

“How can I turn this into something good?”When you are stuck in victim mode, that is what you focus on, therefore you will get more.  For every outcome that you want there is a way of thinking and acting that will get it for you.  Your job is to find out what it is that you want and then be flexible on how to make it happen.

People believe they are no good at creating things only because they are not aware of what they are focusing on.  What you have been focusing on is what you have right now.  The first step is to recognize your own thinking, most of us just let the thoughts pass through our head like a train going past us on the track.  When you stop some of those thoughts and take a look you will recognize “victim” thoughts,  we all have them.  Many people believe world dangerous so they look for danger, that goes back to the fundamental law in psychology, you get more of what you focus on.  Keep thinking about danger and it will keep being reinforced in your life.

Changing from the inside out is the key because it is what you do with the thoughts that determine your results.

The brain is neutral, when you ask positive questions the brain has no other job but to come up with answers to your question(s). Get clear about what you want and then using the power of repetition to make it happen.  We make kids do it to learn new tasks and ideas, why do we stop as adults?  Repetition is very powerful!

Now, I would like to invite you to audio version of Think and Grow Rich. Get your Instant Access to all of the recordings at http://retirewithcarla.com/ThinkAndGrowRich/

This book was very instrumental in my own journey of success. It will assist you in seeing the perfection in yourself and others.

However because you are a busy person it may be much more effective to listen to the book rather than read it. If that’s you check out the webpage and all the free bonuses.

You’re also invited To The Free Terrific Tuesday Teleclass, where we discuss Home Business Tips that will assist you in building the future of your dreams.

How To Make Money Fast Online During Recession

The common question that will get into everyone mind at one point or another.”How do I make money fast online during recession?” Luckily for everyone who has ever had that question come to mind there is an answer to that!Yes… There are several ways to make money quickly online during this recession time. Now we will venture through the online category.

There are 3 websites to make money fast online.

1. Forum booster.

2. Cash Crate.

3. Associated Content.

Let’s begin with Forum Booster. Forum Booster is a website that pays you $0.10 for each post you make on a forum. This is great for those of us that would be searching and posting on forums either way, why not get paid for it? If you can post sixty posts in 1 hour, you can make $6, which is not that bad for earning money online.

It may not be minimum wage, but you have the advantage of being in the comfort of your own home. You can be in your pajamas sipping coffee while working on posting on these forums. Each post should be a minimum of 12 words, which is not difficult to do at all.

The next site that we will talk about is Cash Crate. Cash Crate is a site that pays you to take surveys. They may pay anywhere from a dollar to possibly a hundred dollars, just for you to take a survey.

Doesn’t sound too bad now does it? The reason they pay you to complete surveys is that companies are willing to shell out loads of cash for in-depth information from their consumers to find out exactly what they word on the street is about their product or services.

They even have a daily survey on the homepage that is guaranteed to make you some extra income; the guaranteed survey on the homepage pays $0.80. It may not seem like much but do the math, over a 30 day time period. That is almost $30 extra dollars just for taking surveys.

Are you still asking yourself that question, how do I make money fast? Well if using Forum Booster and taking surveys doesn’t really sound like your cup of tea, there is always the alternative of Associated Content.

Associated content should be the number one stop for those people who frequently ask themselves, how I could make money fast. Associated Content requires you to write content, which in other words for those who aren’t familiar with the online language, content means articles.

Associated Content requires that you write articles for them, they will pay you anywhere from $3 to $40 for your content.

Most of the time however the bids that they place on your content are for much less than $10. However, this is still a great way to make money online if you can type several articles per day. You may be surprised to see how easy it has become to earn a part time income through writing for Associated Content.

Overall there are tons of ways to make money quickly online but these are just the tried and true and the best of the best.

Profit & Loss

Saturday, November 28th, 2009
Paidra Delayno

One of the quiet businesses not often in the news is the nursing home industry. It is not uncommon for each facility to require a staff of between seventy and a hundred people. Nursing homes fall into two categories. The first is non-profit and the second is for-profit. The non-profit variety is in a class of it’s own and not part of this article.

I use the nursing homes as an example because it’s the industry I’m familiar with. Why is the nursing home in business? To make a profit. Let’s examine a corporate owned nursing home. I am thinking of a large corporation which owns nursing homes and hospitals. Owned is perhaps the wrong word because most of the buildings are only operated by this company.

The buildings are usually owned by a group of investors. The day to day management is provided by a separate company. A company intent on turning a profit. No matter what In the early 90’s, Medicare changed the rules of payment and money became less plentiful. Many of the smaller facilites closed their doors. The larger and more profitable corporations took them over.

The particular management company I worked for had a large corporate structure. Large corporate structures require large profits to afford the many levels of management. And these people don’t work for free. Money to pay the yearly salaries plus the bonus system has to come from someplace.

The local building is run by an Administrator. Some companies go high brow and refer to them as Executive Directors or some such variation. The Administrator answers to the Regional Director. The Regional has multiple buildings under them. The Regional of the company I’m thinking of reportedly bought a new Dodge SUV for his wife. He reportedly used his Christmas bonus to pay cash for it. That’s at least $35,000. More then many of us earn in a year.

I fully realize companies must operate at a profit if they wish to keep their doors open. Individual people also must operate their homes without going into debt if they wish to keep their heads above water. Do businesses need to operate at such a high profit margin without any concern for their employees? Finances aside for a moment, do individuals need to conduct their lives in such a way that they become emotionally bankrupt?

The nursing home industry is a relatively large scale operation based on the PROFIT & LOSS system. What I wish to examine is how this trickles down to you and me. How about the phrase, “What’s in it for me?” This is a phrase most of us are familiar with. “How will I benefit from whatever you are asking me to do?” is another.

A friend of mine recently read a book about setting boundaries in our personal lives. She has been giving me the high lights as she read the book. A better title for the book would be, “Me, Me, Me & Me.” I fully realize it’s difficult when others crowd us but this book takes ‘me first’ to a whole new level.

I can almost hear military veterans who have stood and fought for our country saying, “I will not allow the government to tell me what to do. They have no right.” Or how about dedicated military doctors knee deep in blood saying, “This is way out of my comfort zone.” Or the doctors who answer the call to national disasters. How about 911? Have we forgot about the police officers and firemen who didn’t stop to consider the consequences before they charged into the jaws of death to save their fellow New Yorkers?

Is this situation profitable to me? Or will it be a loss? The boundaries book told young adults they have the right (and perhaps the responsibility) to turn their backs on their parents if the parents were not meeting every need of theirs. I fully realize not every parent has been sterling examples of ideal parenting. The book wasn’t talking about them. It was speaking of regular parents who love their children. What was their crime? Perhaps caring too much. Maybe the parent is perceived as being un-supportive. Or perhaps too nosy. Or whatever excuse is handy.

One lady I know has a daughter who decided the ’support group’ she accumulated cared more about her then either of the parents. I am confident this lady was a good mother. I doubt she was perfect, but then again, who is? Certainly not the daughter. This is the woman who sacrificed constantly for her children. The book in question was a road map of the daughter’s life. Unpleasant letters she wrote her mother were almost straight out of the book.

PROFIT & LOSS is the backbone of business today. It’s more profitable to lie when convenient. We hear so much about business that I think we forget business is nothing more then men and women buying and selling. I once worked for a company which sold groceries to restaurants.

I over heard one of the salesmen talking on the telephone to a customer. He was lying through his teeth. I asked him about it when he was finished with the conversation. His reply? “It’s just business.” The boss was no better. He lied to his customers so often that when somebody had to fill in for him they had no idea what to say.

The system of PROFIT & LOSS spills over into all facets of our lives. Relationships are based on what the other party is perceived as being able to do for us. Dating is started with filling out a credit history. At the end of the form is the question, “Where do you see yourself in five years.”

If what I’m saying isn’t true, why are the divorce rates so high? What ever happened to sticking it out with our mates? Apparently it’s not lasting values which guide us in our selections of a spouse. By now somebody is asking what a single woman knows about relationships. I dislike child rearing articles written by couples with one child. What do they know about anything? In my case, I base my opinion strickly on the statistics. I don’t need a husband just to prove my point.

Nursing homes are notorious for firing people at the drop of a hat. Somebody in corporate has a friend who needs a job. Who cares if they are qualified. They’ll learn. Whatever happened to employer responsibility? Or for that matter, what about employee responsibility? Businesses are made up of people. Responsibility is a two way street. I certainly don’t mean to be down in the mouth but I don’t see any solution on the horizon.

Quitting a job is no big deal many people feel. Quitting a marriage isn’t any big deal either. Quitting any relationship isn’t anything to lose sleep over. Or are these things a bigger deal then we are willing to admit? When do we accept the fact we are adults? When do we finally grow up and stop acting like children? When do we see things through just because it’s the right thing to do?

It’s not my intention to anger anybody. It is my intention though to ask you to think before you act. PROFIT & LOSS is a huge subject we have just scratched the surface of. Even the Bible speaks of it. “What does it profit someone to gain the whole world and lose their soul?” Mark 8:36.

If you are not a Bible believer, how about simple common sense? Look at the words quoted as literature if you like. Do you consider yourself a happy person? Is your life fulfilling? Is getting your own way really paying off for you? I’ve worked with people who had to have their own way much of the time. They weren’t what I would consider happy people. Not by a country mile.
