Create Your Greatest Day,

This has to be one of the most inspirational videos I have ever watched!  It is amazing and will make you smile, may even make you shed some happy tears (if you are the emotional type like me). I feel blessed to be able to share this with you.

“Validation” is a fable about the magic of free parking.  Starring TJ Thyne & Vicki Davis.

It may seem like it has nothing to do with running your own online business, or marketing, but really, when you think about it, it has EVERYTHING to do with it!

How we choose to communicate with others directly influences our results in life, as well as business. I have made it a practice to tell those that I choose to surround myself with how much I love them and how awesome they truly are. I hope after you watch this inspiring video, that you will take up the practice as well.

Thanks go to Cristina Munoz for sharing this awesome video with me!  I LOVE it, and I know you will too!

Create Your Greatest Day,

The search for the Golden Egg is ever present. With the economy in the dumpster and the unreliability of “jobs” or Wall Street, people are looking for alternatives. What kind of alternatives? Ones where they can beat the recession, fire their boss, end their long commute, and spend more time with their family. How are they achieving these goals? Home based businesses on the internet.

Work-at-home opportunities are rampant. You can find home biz ads everywhere you look around the internet. How can you make sure that you find the right one for you? Well, here’s some advice on what to look for to find the opportunity that fits you and your family.

When looking into the various internet business opportunities, you must do your research. Find out more about the company and what you’ll be doing to see if it will be a viable solution for you.

Research the company To find out more about the company, you can use a search engine, such as Google. You can Google the company’s name along with ripoff, scam, or review and see if they have a good reputation and to see if you can decipher whether the company you are looking at appears to be legitimate or not. Let common sense prevail, however. A lot of times, reviewers will say that a certain opportunity is a scam or bad deal. But look at what they have to say before you make a decision. In most cases, they are just trying to sell you on their opportunity. If that is the case, not a whole lot of stock can be put into their negative spin on things. They are just trying to win you over to their side.

Find out what you’ll be doing When doing your research, you’ll want to try to find out exactly what you’ll be doing. Will you be placing ads in Pay-Per-Click (PPC)? Selling digital software? Marketing a website? Make sure that whatever it is that you will be doing, that it appeals to you and is concurrent with your morals and values. If it feels shady to do something, like you will be deceiving someone, then don’t do it. The more you find something that appeals to you, that you have a passion about, the more successful you will be at it. Also, you’ll want to make sure it’s not too far out of your skill set. This isn’t to say that someone completely new to a computer can’t tackle an internet home business. You’ll just want to make sure that you have the time and the money to invest into the proper training to bring you up to speed on the skills you will need to survive the internet jungle.

Find out how much money you’ll need up front Many opportunities start out for pennies compared to what it will cost you once you get on the inside. This is not necessarily a bad thing. Just be prepared. If you don’t have a lot to spend, you’ll want to stick with lower operating costs until you get the cash flow to fund the bigger opportunities. One thing to keep in mind as well, is that you get what you pay for. Many times, things that you can purchase for cheap, are just that, cheap. Don’t expect too much. On the other hand, inflated prices are possible too. Use your best judgment. Listen to your instinct. If the opportunity sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

All in all, just make sure you do your research before you plunge head first into anything. Make sure it’s legitimate and has staying power, that it’s something you would enjoy doing or a product that you would enjoy promoting, and that you are aware of what all the opportunity entails.

I wish you the best of luck in your search for your Golden Egg. In the famous words of Star Trek’s Spock, May you live long and prosper!

Everyone has that little intuitive voice inside them that keeps guiding them along the way.  However, most of us have learned to tune that out and not listen to it.

I know I have at times.  Cases in point:

I had always heard that when babies learn to walk, it’s over night.  I was like yeah, right, okay…  Well, my son has always been a little slower in things, he was born 5 1/2 weeks early.  He also has his own time schedule to do thing, not adhering to a standardized chart.  He was probably about 2-3 months later than other kids in crawling, and walking was the same way.  He would take 2 and 3 steps in between things, and I thought it was going to be forever before he walked.  Then one day he started getting daring and took 4 and 5 steps between things.  Later that afternoon, after never seeing him stand up without holding onto something, I saw him stand up in the middle of our back yard – in no man’s land with nothing to hold onto.  The very next day, he traveled more than the entire length of the house from corner to corner without touching anything.  He went from a few steps to walking all over the house – overnight!  I should have listened!

When deciding what camcorder to purchase, I had been told the Flip would do for a starting camera by many sources.  Even a friend said that it was good.  I did not listen and thought I’d be all fancy and professional and get one of those expensive camcorders.  Surely they would be better, right?  Wrong!  I went through both a Canon and a Sony and had to take both of them back.  Our 4 year old Kodak digital camera that could take video as well did a better job with the white balance and color.  So, on my third try, I tried the Flip Ultra II.  Lo and behold it worked!  The white balance and color was perfect!  I should have listened and saved myself the extra trips back and forth to the store.

This last one here is one I really wish I had listened to sooner.  I’ve known about Andy Andrew’s book, The Travler’s Gift for some time now.  I also knew that he was going to be at a conference I am attending next week.  So, I knew I wanted to get it and have it read before then, but I still kept putting off the purchase.  Then, he was scheduled to be on our Leadership Mastermind call a couple of weeks ago.  I wanted to have it in time, but I knew there was no way I could get it to me in time, not even with my Prime shipping at Amazon.  And I still procrastinated another day or two.  I think I ended up ordering it after the call.  Well, it finally came in and I let it sit on my kitchen table until late that evening.  Finally, around 1:30 a.m. I decided to go to bed and read for a bit.  Maybe a couple of pages or a chapter, but usually no more than that.  Well, 80 pages later and 4:00 a.m. after I had intended on staying up all night and reading the whole book because it was so good, my body finally succumbed to sleep.  I’ve now finished that book and it has touched me and impacted my life so significantly, I really wish I would have listened and gotten it sooner!

So, remember, when you have those intuitive inklings, when you have that inner voice telling you that you should be doing something, listen to it, you won’t regret it!  It’s when you don’t listen to yourself that eventually, somewhere down the road, you regret it.  So, Listen to Yourself!
