Want a Home-Based J.O.B. or Home-Based Business – What Type Are You?

I think many people who respond to home based business opportunities are actually looking for a j.o.b. and not looking to be in business for themselves.
Here’s a few of the differences (in my opinion)….

A home based job and those looking for one:

• Something you do for someone else, and they dictate your time, method of completion and compensation
• This person usually wants to take no monetary risk and wants a guarantee that they will see a "return on investment" (ROI) within a matter of weeks
• This person usually continue reading »

$700 Billion Bailout Still Not Enough?

Every day the headlines talk about a new company that has reported less than desirable earnings, and are now requesting support from the government. The domino effect has been created and it’s global. Some time back I mentioned a movie that has been playing around the country in select cities called I.O.U.S.A. I now have the book and will be reading it over the next couple of weeks. I’ll let you know my thoughts when I finish it.

Meanwhile, I thought Kip Herriage (The CEO & Founder of Wealth Masters Int’l) had an interesting post on his blog yesterday. He wrote: continue reading »

Women In Business Leaders No Longer Followers

I recently came across an interesting and informative article in a back issue of Business Week titled, “As Leaders, Women Rule,” and here’s an interesting tidbit or two taken from that article:

“…new research is showing that men ought to be the ones doing more of the imitating. In fact, after years of analyzing what makes leaders most effective and figuring out who’s got the Right Stuff, management gurus now know how to boost the odds of getting a great executive: Hire a female.”

Let’s face it, women are better trained to handle difficult tasks. Started eons ago, the tough jobs were engrained into women, almost preprogrammed so to speak. From raising families to keeping everyone fed, clothed, and happy the idea that a woman’s work is never done has been drilled into us for more generations than any of us can count.

So it’s not surprising (at least to women) that as executives and business owners women do rule.

Women are, much more often than men, scoring higher in producing higher-quality work, goal setting, and mentoring employees. Not my opinion, but statiscal fact. And, the article goes on to say, that these types of findings were “accidentally stumbled on” in the course of pulling together hundreds of evaluations (dare I suggest who was doing the compiling?).

The reasons for coming to these conclusions are quite simple as evidenced by the statement, “Women think through decisions better than men, are more collaborative, and seek less personal glory.” That was the statement of IBM executive Douglas Elix.

Another interesting fact is that women are more in tune so to speak with the global information age. The reason? Teamwork and partnerships are a critical component of the new digital age. And women do work better – not only individually but in groups.

As a woman, you have a tremendous advantage over men when it comes to choosing and running a home business. A woman’s training is ideal for such a venture. Willing to put in the time to see results, willing to study and apply, willing to listen, willing to follow through. All key components to running a successful home based business, all key ingredients in (just about) every woman’s genetic make up.

So, ladies listen up! Turn your personal power to your advantage, and your common sense and desire to success. Money making opportunities abound on the net! Take the digital information age by the horns and go for it!

Millionaire Mindset and the Price of Success

I was reading this past weekend about the legendary Paul Meyer, and throughout the piece it all kept coming back to the "price of success". To quote Mr. Meyer, he said, "Winners do not expect something for nothing. Winners are willing to give the time, effort, creativity and money necessary to achieve their purposes. They know that any success worth having carries continue reading »
