“Take control of your destiny or someone else will”

Okay, this may seem strange for me to write about since one of my businesses is all done online, marketing products and services .  But, when I heard of the 3/50 Project I just had to share it with others because it makes so much sense for our economy in general.  The brick and mortar businesses in our local communities truly need our support to stay in business themselves.  These businesses are what defines our specific communities and make them what they are, they are the texture and fabric of what makes our own areas unique.  Small businesses create more jobs than large ones do….. are you supporting yours?

Please take time to visit this site and read more about how to become involved. The creator of the concept is Cinda Baxter and you find more about things got started at her blog,  AlwaysUpward.com

I’d love to hear your comments!

“Take control of your destiny or someone else will”

Can you take control over destiny? Is its possible to create a secure financial future for yourself and your family? And can it be done today?
The answer to each of the following questions is a resounding, yes .

In his bestselling book, Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill stressed the importance of the subconscious mind . Our subconscious mind can achieve anything that the conscious mind sets out for it. It is our conscious mind that lays out a set of rules for our subconscious mind to follow. These rules are created based on our values, our beliefs and our everyday experiences. If we allow negative thoughts and situations to influence us, our subconscious mind follows in this pattern. Tell yourself you cannot do something often enough and soon you will believe it to be true.

Conversely, if we allow positive energy to flow towards us, to inspire us; then our mind is energized and we know we can achieve anything we set ourselves up to accomplish. Think of all Read the rest of this entry »

Ask anyone what the central focus of their lives is; and chances are you’ll get a blank stare or an unclear account of what they think they want; as their response. That’s because most of us find it hard to pinpoint a single focus or central element in our lives. We move from goal to goal, happy if we achieve some of them, unconcerned if others are unfulfilled. And then we sit back and wonder why we’ve not achieved the financial success we had hoped for.

Successful entrepreneurs will tell you that focus is one of the key ingredients that allows them to move forward and step their businesses up a notch. Desire, combined with focus and a single minded determination will push your mind into over-drive. You begin to visualize what you want and see it happen on a daily basis. You talk about it, live it and breath it, and most importantly, Read the rest of this entry »

You can achieve financial success and secure your future with a little careful planning and thought being put into it. Building a road-map to a bright future is easy if you follow the steps outlined below. After all, thousands of successful entrepreneurs and businesspeople have done it before you. It’s a time-tested process and anyone can get ahead in their game, if they play by the rules. What you invest into the future is what you’ll get out of it.

1. Create a workable vision: This means a vision that works for you and is achievable. It could be a new home by the sea, a convertible luxury car, a million dollars in the bank. Most goals are in fact achievable, but in order to do so, you will need to make some decisions. Can you support your vision Read the rest of this entry »

We have had a lot to celebrate in our household this past month.  Our son graduated last month from Chico State , and our daughter graduated last weekend from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo .  After a 4:30 AM wake-up call we attended the traditional "Dads & Grads" (Mom’s welcome too!) in the local bars at 6:00 AM ~ BEFORE the actual ceremony!  I’ve got to tell you I have "closed" many a bar, but this was a first to "open" them.  I thought we’d be the only parents crazy enough to go along, but was I wrong!  There were lines out the doors and standing room only ~ 50% were parents ~ guess we were all pretty excited….

During the ceremony most of the speakers addressed how this is a very different time for these graduates to be looking for work.  How they will need to get creative and be resourceful.  How they will need to remain optimistic and positive, and to not take a "no" personally.  There are numerous markets that are still growing, it’s just the competition is greater.  Not too far in the past it was a "slam dunk" to get hired if you had a business degree in marketing .  Mikaila has that, plus another in Read the rest of this entry »

The current state of the economy has caused many mixed reactions. Some people are very afraid to move and are stagnant, dwelling on days past when the economy was strong. Others are making necessary adjustments to live within their means and secure a safety net for their future. Then there are those who are eager to take hold of the opportunity presented to us by doing things they might not have had the courage to do, like start a home based business.

I cannot tell you how many times I’ve seen that Avon commercial encouraging you to call and get started with them because "you can’t get fired, you can’t get laid-off ", "it’s your own business ". Depending on your state at the time you’ve seen this commercial it may have peaked your interest or caused you to immediately change the channel. For me, it brings back memories of getting the Avon catalog in the mailbox or browsing through the latest issue at the hair salon. Growing up my childhood friend’s mom sold Avon and she’d have tons and tons of orders to deliver on the weekends. We’d go along for the ride. Fortunately, times have changed and sellers no longer have to hand deliver products to customers or even solicit customers on the phone. Foot traffic has now become online traffic as network marketers start to change how business is done.

If you’re familiar with network marketing gurus, you may be familiar with a gentleman by the name of Mike Dillard . He is one of the Read the rest of this entry »
