When I say "These" I mean the 8 proven goal setting steps . Goal setting is important to do in all areas of ones life such as family goals, spiritual, social, physical, educational, and financial. We’re going to be addressing business goals though and the impact they have. For those of you building a successful home based business this is even more critical as you are the main one responsible for your business being profitable .
You should begin by asking yourself "why" you want to achieve a particular goal as you create your list. If it’s something someone else thinks you should have as a goal, but you don’t, the likelihood of your following it through is slim. Your goals will become one of the drivers of your belief system , so make them real to you.
The key is to have reachable / achievable goals that will make you stretch. The objective of them are to keep you focused and on track. Large and small businesses alike use them.

Have you ever met or known someone who is living in retirement the way you have dreamed of? Do you have a "role model" that you can talk with, and see how they accomplished their dream?
I’ve been blessed to have observed very closely such a couple - my parents.
Each Fall they always take an adventure trip for at least a month. They are currently in Egypt riding camels, riding in a hot air balloon at sunrise over the pyramids, and cruising down the Nile river. Wow! Do I want to experience life like that, by being a participant versus an observer! continue reading »

The CCPro Marketing event was presented to a full house this past Saturday and the line up of speakers had everyone on the edge of their chairs. Literally! The room was so full, there wasn’t space for tables. We were all sitting shoulder to shoulder with notepads in our laps.
Aaron Parkinson and Jay Kubassek, the co-founders of Carbon Copy Pro have embraced the fact that marketing is not just about selling. It’s about building a relationship or "Attraction Marketing ". There is no better authority on this than Mike Dillard who is the author of Magnetic Sponsoring . I highly recommend his programs. While he wasn’t an official speaker at the event this time - the day focused on the principles he teaches.
Here are a few of the concepts to think about: continue reading »

"Make a Million While You’re still Young Enough to Enjoy It" by Peter Bielagus
I had the pleasure of listening to this young entrepreneur and writer speak at the last M2 Wealth Masters Int’l. Conference. He was energetic, humorous, wise for his years, and has a message for young adults (primarily college age) ….. HE speaks their "lingo". I purchased his book and after reading it this past weekend, I will be purchasing numerous others to give to the young adults in our lives for holiday gifts.
Like his speaking style, Peter discusses a variety of financial topics and breaks them down in simple language. Here are some general categories that he explains with examples that kids "will get": continue reading »

Here’s what is being said about the controversial movie….
On Agora Financials Website
"I.O.U.S.A. boldly examines the rapidly growing national debt and its consequences for the United States and its citizens. As the Baby Boomer generation prepares to retire, will there even be any Social Security benefits left to collect? Burdened with an ever-expanding government and military, increased international competition, overextended entitlement programs, and debts to foreign countries that are becoming impossible to honor, America must mend its spendthrift ways or face an economic disaster of epic proportions." Go to their site to read more…..
Thanks also to Jim Rohners for sharing this site with us for a review of the movie from the Sundance Film Festival.
Please leave a comment about whether this movie has changed your perspective on things 
Until next time, J.
