Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Galatians 6:9

I am sitting in my office as I type this article with more than enough things on my to do list. I have tackled my kitchen with hopes of getting my living room and kid’s room in order before a conference call that I have scheduled this evening. At this point I have a few options:

• Option 1: Get frazzled and overwhelmed ending in no productivity.
• Option 2: Start cleaning my living room but with a lack of vision only to look up hours from now with only bits and pieces of each room in order.
• Option 3:Or I can do what has consistently worked for me in the past. That is the Power of One.

Had you visited me earlier today you would know that my kitchen was a hot mess! Read the rest of this entry »

I truly believe that whatever success a secular business owner achieves, those of us who know and walk in the power of Jesus should dwarf their success. We have the secret key – access to the Kingdom of Heaven through Jesus Christ. This means that you have to be in a place where you are comfortable being the best in your area of industry and calling.

This is a time in which the Lord is opening up His harvest like never before. Your capacity to receive more joy, power and wealth is expanded every time you stretch your belief, go for something you really desire or encounter a situation that causes you to reach deeply within yourself to muster up the strength to get endure and overcome.

Being the best means that you truly embrace the power, dominion and authority you have been granted through Jesus. It means operating with the love of The Father and opening your heart up to providing solutions to the problems they encounter on a daily basis. When you have a heart to provide their solutions, they are happy to value what you bring to the table. Read the rest of this entry »

Affiliate marketing is one of the fastest and most affordable ways to get started making money online.  In essence, what you are doing is selling other companies’ products for a commission.   You can make money without developing your own product or building your own sales site.  All you do is promote the product and send the customers to the company’s site to make the purchase.

Of course, I don’t want to make this sound too easy.  It does take work, commitment, persistence and time like any other business.  By following the ten tips below, your affiliate sales should increase and thereby increasing your monthly income.

1.  Personal Recommendation – You always want to try the product before you start promoting it so you can give it a personal recommendation.  A personal recommendation can be very powerful in persuading people the product is “real”.  This is especially true if you are already established online and have a good clean reputation.  If you are not well-known a personal recommendation will still carry a lot of weight.

Today, the Internet and other technology has made working at home easy and affordable. Companies of all sizes are turning to virtual workers to save money and reach a wider a audience. Whereas twenty years ago, work-at-home jobs were limited to technology and writing, today jobs exist in teaching, nursing, customer service, office support and much more. There is no reason that you can’t find a work-at-home job unless you’re letting excuses get in your way.

Here are the most common excuses people use to sabotage their work-at-home dream.

1. “Everything online is a scam.” This is just not true. If everything you find is a scam, you’re looking for the wrong jobs in the wrong place. I post at least 60 to 70 jobs at WorkAtHomeSuccess.com weekly. I know Jill posts many here at CWAHM. There are thousands of legitimate work-at-home jobs that can be found right now. However, these jobs don’t involve licking envelopes, processing email or rebates, typing ads or payment processing. The easiest way to get scammed is to look for a fast, easy way to make a buck. Jobs require skills and experience, a professional resume, and often an interview. Read the rest of this entry »

Over the last several years, I have written a great deal on the topic of listening.  Most people know that listening is an important skill but they don’t really know why.  Here are a few of the sayings I have written that I have used in various articles over the last several years.

“1 speaker + 1 Listener = an effective communication equation.”

In order for effective communication to take place, we need at least one listener. The most articulate person will have no success in communicating his thoughts if there isn’t at least one person who is truly listening.  Hearing isn’t listening.  If you have children, you’ll understand this.  Johnny hears you, but he doesn’t understand what you’ve asked him to do.  He may have given the appropriate response, but he wasn’t really listening.  You know this because he eventually comes downstairs with his half empty hamper instead of taking the garbage out.

Did you ever notice how little kids show appreciation?  My son comes to me several times a day and says things like “I love you!  You are the best mommy in the whole world!”  The conviction of his words and the look on his face as he utters them are what touch my heart!  That’s what true appreciation is.

Most of us teach our children to say thank you, but few of us really understand its power.  Showing appreciation is not only etiquette, but it is a responsibility especially during the holidays.

I was privileged to have been in the audience when Florence Littauer was speaking on “Silver Boxes”.  It’s what she calls her philosophy on appreciation and edification.  She quotes Ephesians 4:29.

“Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.”

Are you looking to start a profit making home party business, but don’t know which one to choose?

Now, at last, discover how you can earn money by selecting the best direct sales company to suit you.

Here’s how . . .

Figure out what you want to sell. The most important step to choosing a company is deciding what to sell. The last thing you want to do is sell make-up when you don’t even wear it. You have to be enthusiastic about the product you are trying to sell; otherwise, customers will take your lack of interest as a bad sign.

Make a list of all the things you enjoy doing, such as crafts, cooking, collecting things etc. Once you’ve made your list, read it. Now circle all the things that have a common theme, like scrapbooking and painting or gardening and houseplants.

Now that you have narrowed down your list, it’s obvious to see what you enjoy doing. If most of the things on your list are craft related, then chances are, signing up with a company that focuses on crafts is suitable for you. Taking the time to learn what you are really passionate about is vital to your success. Choosing the wrong company is bound to bring failure. Read the rest of this entry »
