Want Real Career Freedom?

Think of it, a job you love and plenty of money….. what’s the old saying - "Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life?" Why then do so many of us stay in unfulfilling jobs? Especially now with so much unpredictable volatility around us. Possibly that’s why continue reading »

Although gas prices have been coming down recently, it’s still a cost that many folks would love to minimize. We all know that prices will eventually be on the rise again too.

Well, if you drive over 1000 miles per month (you must not own a home business ), there may be a creative way to have some of your gas paid for you. continue reading »

I normally don’t share my political views publicly. But have you noticed since the election is so close, the mudslinging is getting worse? I try to ignore all of that and get to the issues , and I’ve got to tell you Palin scares the hell out of me. I’m not the only one either. There is a website, continue reading »

Cancer That Insidious Disease is Affecting My Online Business

September 3rd, 2008 -- Posted in Wealth Strategies | 3 Comments »

I didn’t do my normal post this morning because I have been stuck as to what to say. My mind keeps coming back to a place of anger. Rather than pushing it aside I decided to get it off my chest and write about it. You see, a dear friend of 30 years just passed away this last weekend of cancer. She was diagnosed 2 years ago with bladder cancer and since then it has not been a pleasant road for her.

We have worked together off and on over the years, we’ve vacationed together, gone to weddings, hiked, shopped, and even were there for each other when each of our spouses passed away. My husband was only 39 (10 years ago of leukemia) and her husband a few years older (12 years ago of Lou Gehrig’s). We have a lot of history together and sometimes we’d talk not believing we had known each other that long…. were we really getting that old?

I am sad that she had to leave us so soon. She had many lemons handed to her over the years, but she would quietly make lemonade from them. She never complained, never had an ill word about anyone, never held a grudge…..

Why am I angry you wonder? What I’m about to say may offend some of you, so I will say my apologies in advance…. but,
Why do we treat our animals more humanely than we do people? This is not the first time I’ve seen someone terminally ill with absolutely no hope of survival have to lose their dignity and suffer besides. My friend was bedridden for the last few months with absolutely no quality of life. For the last couple of weeks she was barely cognizant we were there, yet legally no-one could "assist her through the transition". When horses break a leg we don’t let them suffer. When cats and dogs are terminal with no quality, we are allowed to "put them to sleep". Have our lawmakers truly not experienced watching a loved one die or more accurately waste away? Why couldn’t a little "cocktail" be administered so she could peacefully drift off to sleep? I can only hope no-one has to endure that when it’s my time….

There…. I had to get that off my chest because it’s been affecting my focus and my business. I’m sure there will be some of you who would like to comment one way or another…. :-)

There was an article in AARP magazine last month about life lessons. It was a discussion between two friends, one coming to the end of her life. Here’s what she told the other…"Look, darling," she said, tapping her watch. "From age 50 to 80 it’s not minutes - it’s seconds. Pay attention." I must not have looked as if I was paying enough attention, because she put her hand on my wrist and squeezed. "It’s seconds. You think you know, but you don’t." I’m beginning to know…..

Until next time, J.

I Can Volunteer Because of My Home Based Business

August 28th, 2008 -- Posted in Carbon Copy Pro, Home Business Ideas, Retirement, Wealth Strategies | 3 Comments »

Having been self employed for the last 7-8 years has allowed me freedoms that I never had while working for someone else. I have been very blessed with the people in my life and the opportunities I’ve had (and still have!) I donate regularly to a couple of "favorite" charities, but the best feeling has been donating my "time". continue reading »

Back to the Future….

August 12th, 2008 -- Posted in Home Business Ideas, Marketing Tips, Retirement, Wealth Strategies | 1 Comment »

My Mastermind Advisory meetings the past few days were full of great discussions and planning sessions, so in general a success and worthwhile!

What was also a success and worthwhile was the event I attended the week before last in Las Vegas. The Wealth Masters Int’l M2 conference , which over the next few days I’ll provide you with highlights of their plans for the future….

One topic "unveiled" was a magazine which was primarily about WMI. Success Magazine has now come out with a "sister" publication by the name of Empower . Each issue features a direct selling company and discusses the career alternatives that offer people flexibility as well as financial and personal growth . The most recent publication (64 pages) was devoted to how Wealth Masters is "changing one person at a time", and explains the "Big Picture" of the company, products, and top producers such as Jay Kubassek, Michael Force, Elaine Love and Andrew Cass . There are also articles about Robert Kiyosaki and Paul Zane Pilzer who whole heartedly support and believe in the Network Marketing industry .

Grab a copy and take a look! If you can’t find one on your newsstands drop me an email with your name and address and I’ll get one to you :-)

Until next time, J.
