Business Success Tips – Six Summertime Survival Tips For Work-at-Home Moms
Posted by: | Comments
Summer is one of the most difficult seasons for entrepreneur moms. Juggling work with kids who need extra attention and outside playtime can make for some stressful days. You want to have fun, but you also know that the demands of business require your attention. Here are a few tips that will help you get through the summer and stay sane in the process.
1. Look For Ways To Add Passive Income. Spend the time to create that ebook or program that runs without you. Another way to create passive income is to get more involved in affiliate programs. Find programs that fit your audience and then offer these great products to them. They’ll thank you for it and you’ll make a little extra cash.
2. Enjoy Your Freedom. In this day and age you can work almost anywhere. So, this summer don’t stay inside – hit the park and bring your laptop. Head to the beach and write or proof documents there. Be sure to keep a running list of documents that you’ll need access to or take advantage of an online document service such as Google Docs so that your files can be reached from wherever you are.

The Power of One
Posted by: | Comments
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 More→
Being The Best
Posted by: | CommentsI 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 More→
10 Ways to Be Successful with Affiliate Sales
Posted by: | CommentsAffiliate 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. Read More→
Are Excuses Keeping You From Getting a Work-At-Home Job?
Posted by: | CommentsToday, 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.
- “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 More→
What’s So Great About Listening?
Posted by: | Comments
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. Read More→
