The Call of Jeremiah

    ⁴ The word of the LORD came to me, saying,

    ⁵ "Before I formed you in the womb I knew ^[a] you,
       before you were born I set you apart;
       I appointed you as a prophet to the nations."

    ⁶ "Ah, Sovereign LORD," I said, "I do not know how to speak; I am only a child."

    ⁷ But the LORD said to me, "Do not say, 'I am only a child.' You must go to everyone I send you to and say whatever I command you. ⁸ Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you," declares the LORD.

    ⁹ Then the LORD reached out his hand and touched my mouth and said to me, "Now, I have put my words in your mouth. ¹⁰ See, today I appoint you over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant."

    ¹¹ The word of the LORD came to me: "What do you see, Jeremiah?"
      "I see the branch of an almond tree," I replied.

    ¹² The LORD said to me, "You have seen correctly, for I am watching ^[b] to see that my word is fulfilled."

    ¹³ The word of the LORD came to me again: "What do you see?"
      "I see a boiling pot, tilting away from the north," I answered.

    ¹⁴ The LORD said to me, "From the north disaster will be poured out on all who live in the land. ¹⁵ I am about to summon all the peoples of the northern kingdoms," declares the LORD.
       "Their kings will come and set up their thrones
       in the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem;
       they will come against all her surrounding walls
       and against all the towns of Judah.

    ¹⁶ I will pronounce my judgments on my people
       because of their wickedness in forsaking me,
       in burning incense to other gods
       and in worshiping what their hands have made.

    ¹⁷ "Get yourself ready! Stand up and say to them whatever I command you. Do not be terrified by them, or I will terrify you before them.

    ¹⁸ Today I have made you a fortified city, an iron pillar and a bronze wall to stand against the whole land—against the kings of Judah, its officials, its priests and the people of the land.

    ¹⁹ They will fight against you but will not overcome you, for I am with you and will rescue you," declares the LORD.

Jeremiah 1:4-19 NIV

I cease believing in visible money as my supply and my support, and I view my current world of effect as it truly is... simply an outpicturing of my former beliefs.

I believed in the power of money, therefore I surrendered my God-given power and authority to an objectified belief. I believed in the possibility of lack, thus causing a separation in consciousness from the Source of my supply.

I believed in mortal man and carnal conditions, and through this faith gave man and conditions power over me. I believed in the mortal illusion created by the collective consciousness of error thoughts, and in doing so, I have limited the Unlimited.

No more!

This day I renounce my so-called humanhood and claim my divine inheritance as a Being of God. This day I acknowledge God as my supply and my support.

Part 4 - Generating Advertising That is Free
============================
One of the best ways to get leads on the Internet is by getting a product mention or a free link on another website.  Effective online marketing is all about putting your product or service in front of potential customers at the exact time that they are looking for it.  This technique is known as "pinpoint marketing".  Pinpoint marketing is much different than advertising on radio or television, which are known as interruptive marketing techniques.  Interruptive marketing costs a lot more than pinpoint marketing and is less effective for the simple reason that you're attempting to put your product out there in front of everybody instead of pinpointing those potential customers who want to find out more about you and your business.

Pinpoint Marketing:  Pinpoint marketing is the process of sending the right message at the right time so that it produces actual results.  For example, if youíre at a ball game and are eating a bag of popcorn. Just when you take a handful of popcorn the Coca-Cola logo appears on the big screen.  The next you thing you know youíre looking for the first vendor who can sell you a can of Coke.  However, if an advertisement for a new car appears on the big screen while youíre watching the game and eating popcorn, youíre less likely to be interested since itís not something you're looking for at that moment.  Interruptive marketing isnít really targeted because itís not something that you are actively looking for.  People who use the Internet are usually looking for a solution to a problem.  When you put your product in front of them at the right time youíve reached a potential customer.

Day-part Marketing:  The placement and timing of ads on the Internet has become so important to online marketing that some companies, such as Yahoo!, are selling advertisements in day-part.  Day-part is something that has always been done in television advertising.  Day-part marketing works like this specifying at which time of the day certain ads are viewed so that you can effectively target your customers. 

Embedded Marketing Messages:  These days, more people than ever are using the Internet to research a product before they buy.  As well, most Internet users are becoming more serious about the amount of time that they spend online.  Studies show that users are spending less time on the web and that the time they do spend surfing is focused and deliberate.  Many users bookmark their favorite websites so that they can access information fast and easily.  When people want a solution to a certain problem, such as a health issue or taking a vacation, they often look online for the answers.  This is why itís important for you to put your product or service right in front of them whenever you can.

Next time we'll be discussing alittle about "E-mail Marketing".

Reaching Your Target Audience

Let's go ahead & get started today with "Part 2 - Reaching Your Target Audience".

Part 2 - Reaching Your Target Audience
============================
A big factor to successful online marketing is knowing who your target audience is and how to reach them.  To determine what types of customers you are trying to reach you should be asking yourself the following questions:

ï    What age group are you trying to sell to?
ï    Are you selling to a specific ethnic group or gender?
ï    Will most of your customers be married or single?
ï    How fast will most Internet connections be?
ï    Will you target customers who have children?
ï    What level of education will most of your customers have?
ï    Where will most of your customers live?
ï    Will your customers have any specific hobbies?

The more you know about your customers the easier it will be to come up with a marketing plan.  Youíll also be able to design a website that is the most appealing to these customers.  The biggest advantage of marketing on the Internet is that it allows you to become very targeted towards your desired customers. 



Targeting Different Types of Customers

Marketing online is the same as marketing anywhere else.  There are certain products, colors, themes, and lingo that will appeal more to some customers than to others. When you know what type of customers youíre targeting you can meet their needs so that you grab their attention.  When you use certain features that pull customers to your website you have the ability to gain their attention, loyalty, and trust.  For example, studies show that most female shoppers like to save money and time.  Over 80% of purchases in the home are influenced in some way by women.  As well, these same studies show that women like to able to compare costs fast and easily without getting any kind of sales pressure.  If youíre trying to target women customers some things that you should keep in mind include (1) giving them a feeling of comfort and community, (2) let your website deal with everyday problems, and (3) focus on education, health, and family.

Get the Word Out

Doing something innovative and creative online, as well as using the latest technology, will always get attention.  For example, adding animation, flash, or a photo can create a buzz about the product or service that youíre selling.  Just as e-mail, which contains jokes and strange pictures, gets forwarded all around the planet so too can your marketing message make the rounds.  Come up with a marketing message and then forward it to family, friends, and anyone else you know.

Any time that you can get someone else to forward your e-mail to others you get the information out there about your website and the product or service you're selling.  One key to great online marketing is remembering that quality, not quantity, counts.  Avoid buying e-mail lists and focus instead on building your own with people who are actually interested in what youíre selling.  Today online marketing isn't about how many people you get to your website or how many people are on your e-mail list.  Today online marketing is all about how people react to your website and what it is that you're selling.

Part 1 - Benefits of Marketing Online
============================
Marketing rules are the same no matter how big or small your business is: (1) brand your product, (2) determine who your target audience is, (3) get the sales, and (4) establish repeat customers. Online marketing is very effective in managing all four of these rules.

Online Marketing Defined

The definition of online marketing is: Placing your business or product on the Internet for millions of users to access so that you can turn your website into a strong tool to maximize your sales and business potential.

But online marketing is much more than putting your advertising online. Marketing online includes such areas as communicating with your customers, promoting your business or product online, and making sure that your website content is useful and up to date. The great thing about online marketing is that you don't need to have a huge budget to put together a marketing campaign that is effective. There are tools that you can use to make your marketing techniques easy and profitable such website templates, shopping cart templates, and online marketing templates.

What You Need for Online Marketing to be Successful

There are some important points to consider before you get into the strategies and intricacies of online marketing:

ï Communication. An important part of online marketing is how you respond to your customer's e-mail. You don't want to lose potential customers after you've made the effort to have them visit your website and then contact you for more information. E-mail is a very effective and cost efficient way for you to generate more sales. The key to this effectiveness is consistency. You need to be consistent in your response to your customers. You'll also want to make sure that the tone of your e-mail corresponds with the tone you've set in your website content.

ï Human Resources. If you're going to succeed online you need to have enough people working with you. Efficient websites incorporate a personal touch with a fast response time to customers. Your goal is to turn the visitors to your website into customers. The standard time for a return e-mail is from 48 to 72 hours. If you wait any longer to e-mail back you risk losing the customer. This means that if you donít have the man power to return e-mail in two to three days you need to take another look at your marketing strategy.

ï Products people want to buy online. Before you start marketing online you need to be sure that you have a product or service that people want to buy. Customers need to find a value in what you're selling. There are two motivating factors when it comes to selling online: cost and convenience. Ask yourself if customers will find it easier to buy online than finding a local store. Is it cheaper for them to buy this from you online?

  Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently.

But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted. Carry each others burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.

If anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself. Each one should test his own actions. Then he can take pride in himself, without comparing himself to somebody else, for each one should carry his own load.

Anyone who receives instruction in the word must share all good things with his instructor. Galatians 6:1-6 NIV

 I am conscious of the Inner Presence as my lavish Abundance. I am conscious of the constant activity of this Mind of infinite Prosperity. Therefore, my consciousness is filled with the Light of Truth.

Since we are headed into the new year, today's lesson is accompanied by song lyrics from The Dixie Chicks.

Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
Need a little bit more of my twelve ounce nutrition
One more helpin' of what I've been havin'
I'm takin' my turn on the sin wagon

On a mission to make something happen
Feel like Delilah lookin' for Samson
Do a little mattress dancin'
That's right I said mattress dancin'

Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
Need a little bit more
of what I've been missin'
I don't know where I'll be crashin'
But I'm arrivin' on a sin wagon

When it's my turn to march up to old glory
I'm gonna have one hell of a story
That's if he forgives me
Oh, lord please forgive me

Lets have a safe and Prosperous New Year

P.S.  Of course I have a sense of humor.  C'mon.

Merry Christmas

When they had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. 'Get up,' he said, 'take the child and his mother and escape to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the child to kill him.' So he got up, took the child and his mother during the night and left for Egypt, where he stayed until the death of Herod. And so was fulfilled what the Lord had said through the prophet: 'Out of Egypt I called my son.' Matthew 2:13-15 NIV

God is lavish, unfailing Abundance, the rich omnipresent substance of the Universe. This all providing Source of infinite prosperity is individualized as me — the Reality of me.

After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked, 'Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star in the east and have come to worship him.'

When King Herod heard this he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him. When he had called together all the people's chief priests and teachers of the law, he asked them where the Christ was to be born. 'In Bethlehem in Judea,' they replied, 'for this is what the prophet has written: ' 'But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for out of you will come a ruler who will be the shepherd of my people Israel.''

Then Herod called the Magi secretly and found out from them the exact time the star had appeared. He sent them to Bethlehem and said, 'Go and make a careful search for the child. As soon as you find him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship him.'

After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen in the east went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was. When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold and of incense and of myrrh.

Matthew 2:1-11 NIV

Merry Christmas,

To Increase Your Web Traffic, Try My New Product Below

The Importance of Content and Search Engine Optimization

The importance of high quality informative content to a small or medium sized business site, or monetized blog cannot be over stated. To succeed in web marketing today, have lots of well written, keyword rich content is paramount to success.
Regardless of what product you are selling, or topic you are covering, publishing quality content is the fastest and easiest way to drive traffic to your sites and profit to your business. Let’s examine some of the ways that content can benefit your site.

1.    It isn’t enough to simply bring traffic to your site. You need users to stay around, click ads and/or buy products. By providing your visitors with information they need, you can insure that they hang around longer and are more likely to return to your site again and again.  

2.    Publishing quality and informative articles increases your credibility with your customers and peers. Visitors will become more confident and that confidence can help convert them from casual visitors to faithful customers.

3.    Sites with high quality content are much likelier to receive reciprocal links from related websites. These links are key to SEO ranking and traffic.

4.    Every keyword rich article indexed by search engines increases your perceived relevance, which translates directly into increased search engine driven traffic.  

5.    Building external links to your site by posting content on other article sites or blogs further increases your page rank and traffic.   
If you aren’t posting as much quality content as often as you can on as many channels as you can, you simply are not maximizing traffic and therefore profit for your business. However many web publishers do not have the time to spend researching and writing the necessary content.

Private Label Rights articles, such as those offered by PLR Article Pros, are an excellent solution for publishers and web entrepreneurs. There simply isn’t and easier, more affordable way to add unique, keyword rich, and on-topic content to your webpage.

My consciousness of the Spirit within me as my unlimited Source is the Divine Power to restore the years the locusts have eaten, to make all things new, to lift me up to the High Road of abundant prosperity. This awareness, understanding and knowledge of Spirit appears as every visible form and experience that I could possibly desire.

Generating Revenue thru Niche Market Blogs

Whether you operate a website designed to sell a product or a service, or simply want to generate income by publishing information on a particular subject, niche blogging is an excellent way to promote your business and create your own ad revenue streams.

If you already own a website, adding a separate blog, which links back to your website, can be an excellent way to promote your products, build traffic to your main site, and create revenue from pay per click advertising. By posting quality articles related to your products or area of expertise, your blog can add credibility to your main site as it grows in credibility and in search engine rankings.

Blogging is also an excellent way to build your credibility as an expert in your particular field. As your credibility increases, so does your customers’ confidence in your products and services. A well maintained, informative blog can literally build instant credibility in the eyes of consumers.

The main hurdle most webmasters face when considering the possibility of creating their own blog is creating quality and relevant content. After all, to be successful a blog must be constantly updated with fresh, keyword rich content. Like most people, you may feel that you just aren’t up to the task of writing a weekly article on top of everything else you have to do.

The solution is letting someone else take care of the pesky research and writing for you. The Niche Navigator Package offers professionally written private label content to web publishers and bloggers at unbelievably low rates.

These keyword rich, SEO optimized articles can be uploaded to your blog, with your name on the author line with minimal effort on your part. Your business gets the benefits of frequent relevant blogging without the hassle and struggle of constantly creating new content.

If you haven’t tried blogging as a resource to drive traffic to your site and increase your sales, give it a shot. With The Niche Navigator Package making it so easy, you may be crazy not to.

Find your Niche.  Post Your Articles.  Make Money.

Cheers,

Entrepreneur: Things to do to Reduce Stress

Running your own business can be both rewarding and fun. But it does not end there. Alongside all the joys and the rewards are pressures that make doing business very stressful.

For many entrepreneurs, the most common source of stress is the workload. As people would say, If you want to become successful, you have to work extra hours. This is particularly what is happening on many entrepreneurs. They work harder and longer. And the pressure is different if you are running your own business than working 40 hours a week.

Stress also mounts up because of several tasks related to work added by the responsibilities at home. Usually, moms have tasks at work, at the same time, have to do chores at home. Further task is contributed by the responsibilities to her kids.

Another stressor is the financial aspect of the business. Seldom to we see businesses without dept. Most of them have certain amount of loan somewhere that needs to be paid. This causes great stress on the part of the entrepreneur; balancing of funds and converting all the expenses into income. Getting back the investment quickly adds stress to entrepreneur as well.

Entrepreneur has to make decisions correctly and quickly. And for those who are only beginning to introduce themselves to this kind of environment, it may be very stressful.

All these contribute to the problem of an entrepreneur. To reduce the stress from these, here are some things you can do:

Start at your desk: Clutters can contribute to the present stress you are experiencing. So before doing something today, make sure that you clean up all the mess and put away the things that do not have to be on your desk. A clean desk will be more pleasant to work on.

Devize a system: Daily planners will make things easier for you. If you have lots of things to do, do not intent to finish them all at the same time. Make a schedule when to do this and when to do that. Thinking the all the tasks that need to be done will not solve your problem. Do them one at a time. In this way, you will certainly accomplish one after another.

Multiply yourself: If you think you cannot do an enormous task on your own, hire people who can help you. Remember that one good trait of a successful entrepreneur is he knows when to seek help. Two heads are better than one and four hands are better than two right?

Make a business plan: Everyday, you are tasked with several things to do. In order to get things organized, it would be better to make a plan and stick to that plan. This will keep you on track and prevent you from doing things that you donít need to do. Remember that time is crucial in running your own business. Time means money so better make the most out of every second that passes. Make sure that you know where you are heading at with the plan you have devised.

Designate tasks: You cannot do everything. But even if you do, you cannot make it efficiently. Why? Because you are too occupied with the thought that you have so many things to do. Make sure that you designate tasks to the right person. In this way, things would not be so hard and things will be done fast.

Learn the business everyday: As days progresses, you will surely have some rises and falls. These are called experiences. Learn something from these experiences so that the next time you encounter the same thing, you would know what to do. In this way, you will avoid the same mistake you have done before.

And Finally Relax: Stressing too much will not do any good to you. What you should do is to relax. This will let you think properly. Remember that you are making crucial decisions every now and then and you cannot make correct decision if you are always tensed. Take time to breathe and take time to clear your mind from all the worries in front of you. Soon enough, you are back on track better and livelier.

Entrepreneur Ideas: Best Business for the Future

Conservation of the environment is becoming more evident than ever before. Fear of old age and ugly figure have been the concerns of many people especially women. And security of the future has fastly overtaken the present needs. Business that would answer the things above would reap ten fold in the years to come since many would be more than willing to spend extra bucks on keeping their environment clean, keeping their face young, and saving for their retirement.

Here are the particular businesses that would work in the future:

Perpetual diet

According to The National Eating Disorders Association, 45% of women and 25% of men are on a diet each day! And this is not the end of story. Eighty percent of women admit that they are dissatisfied with their figure. Thatís almost Ω of the entire population. What does this mean? Many are seeking for products that would improve their figure. Entering in this type of business can be a good gamble.

Alternative health products

The growing number of heath conscious equates to the growing number of market for products that will keep human body healthy. This means that the alternative health product business can be a good place to be in the future. Tea, ginseng, and Acai berries are some of the products in good circulation today. These products are also marketed as an alternative medicine.

Organic food

You surely have heard about genetically modified organism or the GMO. You surely have heard about the possible effects it may do to the body. And with this concern, there is an exponential increase of the number of people who are becoming more and more careful on the type of food they eat.

Since organic foods are 100% safe and clean, the market for this business is fastly growing.

Water Products

Not so long ago, you can still see many people filling their bottles with tap water and drink from it. Well, this practice has long been forgotten and will remain to be forgottenÖ even forbidden. Gone are the days when people can drink clear and clean water from any source. Now, it is common to see water dispensers at offices and even houses. And it is very common to see fridge with reserved bottled drinking water.

Capitalizing on this business will draw in cash for sure. You can either be a distributor of drinking water on you neighborhood or establish your own bottling plant.

Ecological products

People have the tendency to look for something that is not usual on their surroundings. So if you are waking up, living, and sleeping in urban areas, you will tend to look for something different, something natural. And if you cannot go out of town, the best way to set some changes is purchasing ecological products. Furniture, home decors, flooring, and other products that encapsulate nature would be a choice to you.

On the other hand, if you are an entrepreneur and have seen this, you will surely be one of the firsts who would venture on this business.

High tech security system or biometrics

If you were a homeowner or a businessman with lots of high tech devises inside your home or offices, you surely would want to protect them. A simple door lock would not do, right? What you need is high tech security system that will limit the access of your facilities to those you have granted the access. Retina scan, finger print identification, and other biometric identification are the ways to do it.

A business that caters this need will certainly be a good business.

Retirement Planners/Financial Advisors

Growing old is a part of life and aging people are part of the population. These people want to carefully plan the remaining years of their life with professional advisers. Retirement Planners or financial advisers would be the right person they need. If you have the keen on this type of business, then, you have a lot of work to do for many aging people need you.

Of course, entering the mentioned businesses would not automatically mean that you will earn too much. You still have to work for it and study carefully how the business works.

Weekly Prayer and Meditation

I am conscious of the Inner Presence as my lavish Abundance. I am conscious of the constant activity of this Mind of infinite Prosperity. Therefore, my consciousness is filled with the Light of Truth.

Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it.

But one thing I do:

Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 3:12-14 NIV

It is not the one you are passionate about... it is
the one that lots of other people are passionate
about!

Like golf, people who play golf are passionate, they
spend huge sums of money on their clubs and
accessories, money that you could be taking a cut
of by recommending products and services to them!

OR a desperate niche where people desperately want
a solution.

'Isn't that taking advantage of them though?' most
people ask.

Not at all - if they are desperate for a solution and
you do provide that solution, then you are giving them

what they need and they will love you for it!

Business Opportunities and Quick Tips for Women Entrepreneurs

Are you one of the women who happened to be yourself, a mom, a wife and a businesswoman altogether? Well, American women seem to have morphed into super ladies who can do any works demanded from them. From house cleaning to child rearing and into developing their own businesses.

Well, there are just too many opportunities for mom entrepreneurs that you may even find yourself overwhelmed when you see the whole spectrum of chancing on the career of your life. You may not have realized it but you see, you have the potential of not only becoming a housewife to you husband or mom to your kids but also the master of your own business unit.

However, not all of us women can tough the tides and perform all our tasks simultaneously. Somehow, we have to sacrifice a thing or another. But this must not be the case. If there is a way that you may find to balance everything, then you no longer would have problems on sacrificing anything. You just have to divide things equally in the many aspect of the life you are trying to pursue.

Being a mom entrepreneur entails you to find your vein, find where you are really good at and find an activity that you love doing and in return would generate an income for you. This way, you need not get tired of your "work' but will only enjoy working on your income.

If you would not want compromising anything from your being you, you can try a business that is home based. Atleast, you can have income while staying at the comforts of your home and while raising your kids. Thinking that this would not allow you focus? Actually, it will.

Think of this- you can help your husband with the support for your finances while rearing your children.

Home Based Opportunities For Mom Entrepreneurs

ß Pet-Based Products
There is nothing that indulgent pet owners wont do for their pets. If you can tap on the opportunities that this reality presents, you are sure to be on the road to financial freedom. You may try retailing pet products among your friends first to test grounds. Then go about the block and spread the news. There is too little chance that this wont click. The next phase would deliver you to promoting your products online. There, real business happens.

ß In-Home Beauty Services
Some women just have the talent making people feel good about themselves. You can choose to enterprise on home beauty services. We have this unexplainable contentment when someone knocks to our doors and deliver beauty and youthful look. Well, probably that's one way of experiencing luxury. Being a mom, you can invest less on this while actually earning good cash.

ß Catering services

Great for mom entrepreneurs with passion in kitchen stuffs. Catering doesn't start with big parties alone. Because America has grown too busy to take charge in the kitchen, many families are now finding themselves eating outside for dinner or having their foods brought in from the restaurant. Well, this type of living can be monotonous at times and all we have to do is to create innovations on making dinner a little more exciting while cutting the prices down. If you have the kick for careful planning in preparing and planning nourishment for people, and make appealing foods and deliver them straight to the customers doorsteps then catering services will be a great one for you. Who knows, this might also be a good time for you and your children to spend time.

Those were only three of the business opportunities any mom may try venturing into. Be careful though, as a mom entrepreneur you also have other commitments that you must keep in mind. Commitments to your husband, to your kids, to you business and to your self. And somehow, there'd be days like you cant actually have sufficient time for anyone of them, not even for yourself.

Once you see this coming, take things slow and give a break for yourself. And keep in mind that there should always be a day off from all these. A time for yourself so you wont have to deal with burning out and loosing touch of your goals later.

A Call to All Young Entrepreneurs: Leverage for Your Small Home Based Business

Being a young entrepreneur, your small business is only as good for all those people who know about it. And for those who don't know, well they simply don't care.

After all the hardships you have gone through while starting up your business. After all those attempt to give it all up and return back to more secured corporate living. After all the risks you have to pass through. And now that you have toughed them all, the only aim that you now have is to make your small business grow.

Well, that actually is not as simple as it may sound. Making your small business grow will lead you to more compromises. This entails you to take further risks. It is harder this time of course because you are delving into deeper realms of risk. Sometime, the absence of assurance for success will make it more difficult for you to get on through the next level.

One of the many paths to growth from your youth in entrepreneurship towards maturity is to spread words of your small home based business. You may posses the best of the products in the industry but there would be no sense to them if the only people who know are those that are within your block. Your product may have the potentials of breaching million dollar sales but if no one buys it, there is no sense in dreaming of becoming a tycoon.

Start promoting yourself and your services. Some small home based business young entrepreneurs begin promoting their products even before they were fully launched. However, there are many who do promotions only when they have tapped the estimated potentials of their items. You always have the choice between the two though.

There are two basic techniques that you may use to take your small home based business into the scene. One is through paid advertisement and the other through public relations.

Plan your target points. Your aim is to court writers towards writing your tale. Never put them off by sending bulks of email to virtually all journalists that you know. Point only towards those who are in the beat with your story. Identify what publications will find your venture useful and know which kind will use your story. Try making a list of newspapers, radio programs and television spots that will work well with your aim. If you truly want publicity, go direct with personal emails or letters to those who are most likely to find your small home based business story interesting.

Typical Stories of Successful Filipino Entrepreneurs.

Reading the life stories of successful entrepreneurs anywhere in the globe will almost always have that charming element. Building something out of obscurity, the initial success, problems encountered and the person sticking to it trying to overcome the hurdles, (sometimes at the point of giving up), and then an unknown force from somewhere pushes the entrepreneur up slowly and steadily.


For some it is the failing in a business or two and then, finding the vein ñ so to speak- sticks it out and eventually succeeds.

For those who succeeded, however modest, there is also always that factor of relentless pushing forward. It is the ability to maintain focus even when faced with hard work and discouragement.

I too found these tales a little mushy at times, too romanticized and often over stretched until I failed in four businesses big time and found out that the same principles work for me.

Whatever your views may be, there is an undeniable over riding characteristic in most entrepreneurs and that is enthusiasm, and the desire to keep on. I donít believe in the Midas touch either, that is bull, a showing off if you will. Aptitude yes, acumen yes, but just the same, every success has a history of hard work behind it, A kind of preparation.

This is almost the same everywhere. Even in third world countries where the economy could sometimes be so tangled up.

Let us have the Philippines. Successful Filipino entrepreneurs would have done a greater effort here than in many of their counterparts in some places of the world. You may disagree, that is fine. But you see business people thrive on predictability and stability that could result to margins. On the other hand, fluctuating economies would give you a different result. Couple that with a colonial mentality that until today has not yet been totally forgotten and you are in for a sanity check especially when trying to compete with a European or American brand. No way could it work.

But it did. Take for example Tony Tan, a Filipino entrepreneur who started his way, washing the dishes and waiting on tables in his fathersí small restaurant. In 1975, with the help of his family this Filipino acquired an ice cream franchise. Ice cream parlors were popular then and it was supposed to be a decent and proven formula. But like most popular businesses that are copied, the Ice cream parlor has eventually to be given up. After a good start, the Ice cream business failed. Tony Tan has to start all over again this time it was not ice cream but selling hamburgers. He gave the hamburgers his own twist, and with the help of family members, tweaked  on other fast food items and that was supposed to be the story of it. Obscure beginnings from a country that was supposed to flock to Mc Donald for hamburgers. No one could, in a sane mind, hope to compete with Mc Donaldís right?
 
Correct. But this successful Filipino entrepreneur is selling today double than that which Mc Donaldís does in the Philippines. The company has, in 25 years expanded to more than 400 branches in the Philippines alone with branches in many parts of the hamburger-loving world.


And then there is Antonina Cesario of Milaís Lechon.

Lechon for those who wonder is a whole suckling pig roasted over an open pit.

A fresh graduate of Pharmacy from the University of Santo Tomes, one of the more prestigious schools in the Philippines, one would wonder what Antonina Cesario was thinking selling lechon at a time (1968) when a college diploma was a decent way to start a more prestigious career. But I am jumping too fast. Antonina started out not even with a lechon but hawking boiled corn in the streets. After a while, she opened what is termed in the Islands as a Sari-Sari Store which are actually holes in the wall stores that are popular in any typical Filipino neighborhood. It was not enough. In the Philippines, there is about one sari-sari store for every 600 population. Just imagine the competition that one is about to go through.

And so with a few pesos saved, and with a leap of faith, she bought a pig, made a lechon and sold it. No dice. The lechon did not sell at all. The lechon though is a very popular fare in the Philippines. A feast is never complete without it. So the idea persisted. She did a twist to it, selling it by the kilo. From then on, Filipinos does not have to wait for fiestas and other affairs to have lechon on their tables. They can have it any day they want it. Milaís lechon turned out to be very popular. So popular in fact that the district where Milaís lechon originated is now termed as the lechon capital of the Philippines. The family then started venturing out to other businesses like restaurants and the selling and distribution of sauces that could be found in any supermarket in the Philippines.

Many more Filipino entrepreneurs have made it. One that makes it more amazing though is these entrepreneurs could thrive even in very difficult circumstances, even when their nations economies are often in the doldrums. Hard work, preparation, persistence; name it, It varies in different people but sustained enthusiasm counts for most.

The Value of Franchise Opportunities to Entrepreneurs

Congratulations for being one of the people who have realized what it would really take to succeed in this world. What does this mean? Well, you are one of the people who have realized the fact that entrepreneurship is the true answer to success.

Most people nowadays think that the only way they can succeed in life is to go to a good school, graduate, get a job, and get promoted until they are at the top of the company. Well, here's some news for you: even executives do have some people to answer to.

The ones truly at the top of the corporate chain of command are the ones who started the business in the first place: entrepreneurs. You see, entrepreneurship offers you the chance to be the boss. Entrepreneurs get the real money while executives get salaries.

But how do you get to be an entrepreneur? Well, you'll need to resolve yourself and make a decision to take a risk. What you need to do is start your own business and strive to be the best.

If you think about it, you will realize that Bill Gates had to start somewhere, didn't he? You need to start somewhere too. Most entrepreneurs open up small size businesses. These businesses often cater to their immediate community. However, these types of businesses rarely become big. In fact, most businesses like these often die out with their owner.

Here's a story of how a franchise opportunity transformed one man's dreams. If you watch discovery channel, you'll probably have encountered this name: Tony Tan.

Tony Tan was fresh out of college and worried about money. During a field trip to an ice cream factory, he happened to notice a franchise opportunity for the ice cream. Being very business-minded, he took that franchise opportunity and opened up his own ice cream shop.

When he opened his business, it was during the summer. Naturally, many customers came and business grew. During the rainy season, however, nobody bought ice cream, so he thought of serving burgers and snacks. These burgers soon had people flocking from all over, and his business grew and grew. Now, his food chain, Jollibee, is actually dominating McDonald's in the Asian market. He won the Ernst and Young Entrepreneur of the World award in 2004.

If you doubt this information, you can actually research "Tony Tan" or "Jollibee" in the internet, and you'll see how and ice cream franchise opportunity led this entrepreneur to compete with the golden arches.

And that is one example of how franchise opportunities help entrepreneurs.

How do entrepreneurs choose franchise opportunities?

Well, there are a number of considerations. First of all, there's the question of capitalization. Exactly how much cash do you need to get a franchise? Then, there's the question of profit: How much will you make by using the franchise?

Another question would involve the legal freedom by which you are able to use the company name. Questions also involve the amount of help you might get if you avail of the franchise opportunity.

As an entrepreneur, you should study the different factors of a franchise opportunity before taking advantage of it. After all, even though you have to take risks, you have to have assurances, right?

Opportunity counts for so much in the business world. Whenever you encounter an opportunity, you need to grasp it and submit it to your will. Entrepreneurs treat business opportunities differently. Here are some views of entrepreneurs on how to take advantage of business opportunities:

Weekly Prayer and Meditation

James 2:14-19

¹⁴What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? ¹⁵Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. ¹⁶If one of you says to him, "Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed," but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it? ¹⁷In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.

    ¹⁸But someone will say, "You have faith; I have deeds."
      Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by what I do.

    ¹⁹You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder.

 God is lavish, unfailing Abundance, the rich omnipresent substance of the Universe. This all providing Source of infinite prosperity is individualized as me — the Reality of me.

All About Being a Christian Entrepreneur

The business world today can be a very intimidating place for a Christian entrepreneur. You see, business today has gotten to a very competitive point. Money makes this world go round. All over the world some people would do anything for money.

This fact makes most Christian entrepreneurs afraid. Most think that money will somehow corrupt their morals and interfere with their Christian living. A verse most Christian entrepreneurs keep repeating to themselves is "Money is the root of all evil." (I Tim. 6:10). However, many Christians fail to realize that there is much more to this verse that changes its meaning.

When you read the whole verse, you can actually see that it says "For the love of money is the root of all evil." That's right: money per se cannot be the source of all evil because it is an inanimate object. A lot of good has been produced by money, and if money is so bad, then how come we always give tithes and offerings?

The love for money is the root of all evil. This talks about greed. Christian entrepreneurs should never let greed rule their lives. Money is important. However, you should not learn to "love" it. You should not let it dictate your life. You should not make decisions that favor money instead of your character.

Greed, as we all know, is dangerous not just to Christian entrepreneurs, but to other types of businessmen as well. Most people fall down because of their greed by compromising their principles. Principles keep a company in line. In fact, Christian entrepreneurs build their companies based on principles.

Want some inspiration? Well, think of Colgate. The toothpaste that most of the world is using right now was introduced to the world by a Christian entrepreneur. Another very good example of a successful Christian entrepreneur is Henry Ford. Ford ran his company under Christian principles and was rewarded by having work efficiency reach a very high level.

Until now, the Ford motor company still maintains its Christian company and still succeeds at being one of the biggest companies in the world.

There are a number of opportunities out there for Christian entrepreneurs to grasp. In fact, the fact that there are a lot of Christians out there shows you that you have a very big potential market!

So what do you need to do to get started on your path as a Christian entrepreneur? Well, you might want to look into yourself and see what you might need as a Christian. What products would Christians be willing to buy? What services can you render to Christians? What business can you offer that would not compromise your Christian principles and get in the way of your Christian living?

Well, you can always open a Christian bookstore. You know how much literature appeals to Christians. By opening a Christian bookstore, you can provide Christians with the perfect place to catch up on their reading. You can sell inspirational books and different types of gift items that would certainly have Christians flocking to your bookstore.

Another business opportunity for Christian entrepreneurs today comes in the form of music. People all over the world have noticed how much Christian music has evolved and the market is slowly expanding for it. By going into the Christian music business, you are given two opportunities. You will be able to sell music for the soul and you will be able to introduce some non-Christians to the basic concepts of Christianity.

In order to get your business started, you are going to need some help. Thankfully, there are a lot of groups out there with the purpose of helping out Christian entrepreneurs. By going to these groups, you gain a lot of advantages.

First of all, these groups can help you with the basics of putting up your own business. They can help Christian entrepreneurs with the legal complexities and give them different ideas as to what kind of business to go into.

By going to Christian entrepreneurial groups for help, you also have the privilege to get in contact with the Christian community and scout out your potential market. We all know how valuable information can be, and the best way to get it is straight form the source. 

To Your Success.

An Entrepreneur's Biography: Is Spearheading a Business Meant for You?

Not because you've got the capital to start a business means that you will be assured of being successful with your business. The truth is, not all people are meant to be successful in running a business. Logically speaking, not every individual is tailored to become one fine entrepreneur. Running a business requires special skill, talent, and ability.

While other people have these factors, a lot of individuals who try out the business world also lack them. It is just like managing plants. If one is a green thumb, then he will likely grow the plants well. It is just the same with business. If you are gifted with such special talents, then you can prove your worth in this line.

Before pursuing any dream in entrepreneurial, youíve got to take time to analyze things about yourself. When you start investing energy, time, and money, it means you must expect for something in return. But then you cannot be assured of winnings in terms of business because there is no guaranteed assurance with business.

Simply taking things in consideration, risks cannot in any way be eliminated. After all, doing business means facing your fears, facing the challenges, and getting it on with the competition. One particular tip for budding entrepreneurs is to always start with smaller capitals so that when losses confront you, it will not be too disappointing on your part. Small businesses are open for the possibilities of improving them to make them big. Armed with careful planning, a great dose of preparation, and the needed insight, entrepreneurial will prove to be on the good side.

So how do you start assessing if you are meant to run a business? It is easy. Simply assess your personality. What are your strengths? What are your weaknesses? By recognizing these things that lie within yourself, you will be able to determine the utmost possibilities about your future in the business world. For some pointers, follow these guidelines:

If you are a self-starter, then you most probably have no previous experience in the trade. It means that you will start from scratch. Hence, the development of your supposed to be projects in the coming days and the organization of your time will lie in your own hands. You need therefore to keep track of every single vital detail.

Consider your relationship with people. You will not work by yourself. You need to deal with people. They may be your business partners, your customers, bankers, company staffs, consultants, accountants, lawyers, or other vendors in the business market. You need to develop good rapport. The reputation that you will craft for yourself will be the determining factor for your niche in the market.

Next, how are you when it comes to decision-making? Are you good at it? You must expect that you will be moving in a world that is filled with pressure so your decisions must be rendered quickly, effectively, and independently.

Another thing to consider is your physical well-being. Running a business requires too much of your time. If you are not physically equipped then there is no hope for you. What will happen to you after handling almost 24 hours a day and 7 days a week of work? Do you think you will be able to hang on?

Next pointer to bear in mind is your capacity to organize and carry on with plans. A poorly planned business leads to failures. But then good organization means financial rewards.

How is your drive? Will it be enough for you to be able to handle all those emotional stresses? When you are the business owner, the responsibility solely lies on your shoulder. A good foundation and motivation will always improve your drive to succeed in the business.

Consider also the effect of your being a business owner to the people around you. If you are a family-oriented person, surely you will lack time for them. You must ensure that they will understand you in this aspect. Research studies show that the first few years of the business are the most crucial as the business interferes with personal relationships. Therefore, you must learn how to balance things so that everything will work out just fine.

Moreover, for an entrepreneur to succeed, he must always be persevering and patient. Rushing things will not help. It also goes to mean that the earning of the profit need not be rushed. One must always start things slow until such time that great opportunities come and knock. There is always the appropriate time to shine.

I have not been good about posting my trades over the Thanksgiving Day Holiday.

On the 25th I closed my positions. It was a good day. And it has been a good week.

To Your Success,

Todd

Entrepreneur Defined

In the field of business, the people involved in the playoffs are called the entrepreneurs. They are also referred to as businessmen. They own and run their own businesses. In the strictest sense, the definition of what a real entrepreneur is varies.

The only certain thing is that, entrepreneurs are very much involved in todayís American business arena. Tracing history back, it is said that the term entrepreneur has been conceivably recognized as an adamant part of the economic world only in the mid 1970s. The concept has then started to evolve with various meanings depending on the understanding of the society that gives meaning to it.

In an online dictionary as defined by the Websterís Revised Unabridged Dictionary, in the year 1913, entrepreneur has been defined as the person who makes some products for his own benefit or account. This gives about the idea that the term has successfully evolved way back in the year 1913. Now such definition may quite be blurry.

How can a person be called an entrepreneur when he does nothing with that product aside form creating it? What term will be labeled to a person who takes other peopleís products and make a success out of them? Will they be not branded as entrepreneurs too? According to Merriam-Webster dictionary, an entrepreneur is someone who organizes, who manages, and who assumes the risks posed by the business or enterprise world. Now this definition of an entrepreneur is richer in content compared with the first one. Risksóthese are literally faced by entrepreneurs as they pursue with any type of investment in the market.

In a much formal definition of Ashoka, an entrepreneur goes to refer to an organizational society that promotes nothing but social change. Social entrepreneurs are those individuals who open up some new and major possibilities in the areas of health, education, environment, and all other areas of the human needs.

To drive a stricter point, the business entrepreneurs are those who lead the innovations in the world of commerce while the social entrepreneurs are those who drive social change in the society. In more ways than one, such definition all the more points out that those business entrepreneurs not only start with any type of business but they do promote change within the business range.

Dale Tucker, a personal entrepreneur, goes to define the term as an individual who decides to take hold and control of his own future and therefore become a self-employed person either by creating his own business or by working with a team just like what multi-level marketing means. On the other hand, Mark Hendricks suggests that for one person to be called an entrepreneur, he needs to be particularly daring. He must be able to meet the challenge of either winning or losing in the business. He therefore must be open to the possibilities of the results of the competition.

So how can an entrepreneur be tailored to be one? What business skills are required in order to become an entrepreneur? There are pointers that must be looked into before someone may divulge into any business venture. The following are some of the qualifications to look into:

Planning and organization. These include the setting up and the attainment of specific goals, qualification to enter into a commitment, and then being able to keep up with work schedules.

The capacity to handle money. Budget must be carefully determined, loans must be secured, funds must be raised, and all of the finances must be recorded. For all these things, an entrepreneur must be an expert.

The selling of products and ideas. An entrepreneur should be acquainted with the proper way of selling. In the world of business, the products whether they take the form of materials or ideas need to sell out in order to gain profit.

Management. Anyone who does not have the management skills is not fit to be an entrepreneur.

The ability to work with people. A good rapport is always needed in an entrepreneur. If he is unable to influence people then he will not likely succeed.

The ability to be a risk-taker. In the world of business, wins are not always secured. There are only two possibilities: winning and losing. Whichever phase confronts him, a good entrepreneur knows how to handle it.

The Advantages of a Home Based Business to Entrepreneurs

Trials and hardships are what the budding entrepreneur always expects to encounter. No entrepreneur really expects to begin at the top, right? Anyway, even those lucky enough to be born rich face a lot of challenges when they decide to become entrepreneurs. For one thing, being born rich doesn't really equal being born with the talents of an entrepreneur of the year.

How do entrepreneurs get started?

Well, there are a number of ways that you can get a business off the ground. There are a number of opportunities out there for people to use their entrepreneurial skills.

Actually, more and more people are finding that the market is really hard to penetrate if you are competing against a major corporation.

But have no fear; all you need to do is contact the right people in order to succeed in the world of entrepreneurship. Contacting other people means you have to get your resources in a manner that would make using them effectively easier for you.

Definitely, more and more people are finding out that home based businesses are the best way for an entrepreneur to go. Funding is not really a problem since lots of financing companies would be happy to lend you the money you need in order to get your business rolling. Exactly how do you get funding?

Going to financial companies, you might want to bring along a business plan and projected financial statements to show that your business is something worth investing in. Home based businesses of entrepreneurs often attract financiers if they have a good solid plan that can get them back their money quickly.

In that light, you can say that a solid business plan (and some collateral) is all you need to get your venture off the ground. Just remember not to be tricked by financing companies with too high interest rtes and too much service charges.

Knowing about how entrepreneurs run home based businesses is essential to your success.

Learning about entrepreneurial techniques with your business in the line can prove costly. Most people research on different things that can help them before they actually start a venture. Naturally, ventures can face a lot of problems on the first year of operation and it helps to be prepared.

Of course, home based businesses of entrepreneurs have to face the problem of gaining a customer base. Popularity t this stage is easy to get through word-of-mouth. Quitting can be a very tempting option if you face problems. Rest assured, you will get through this stage if you find the will within yourself. Several people actually find that the first year of operating an entrepreneur's home based business can be the true test of your skills.

Time will come when you realize that the hardest part of your business actually proved to be the most satisfying for you.

Understanding the way people think is a crucial part of success. Ventures succeed not because of their products, but the way people react to those selling the products. What you need to do is to study the community around you and understand what makes them tick. X-ray vision, of course, is out of the question. You need to get inside their shoes and see what they need that an entrepreneur's home based.

Zen-like calmness of the mind can definitely help you with making decisions without giving in to the panic you will experience when running your own home based business.

Another thing you might want to think about is whether or not you can compete in the market. Basically, it's hard to introduce a home based business if the entrepreneur has no connections. Competing with the big names in the business should not be your priority yet. Don't take your defeats too hard. Far too many businesses have gone down because the owners can't get up when they fall down. Greatness comes from inside.

Home based businesses are preferred by entrepreneurs because they require the least capital. In most cases of home based businesses, you require very little capital as you don't really have to rent office space. Just think about all of the money you will be able to save by bringing your business home.

My inner supply instantly and constantly takes on form and experience according to my needs and desires, and as the Principle of Supply in action, it is impossible for me to have any unfulfilled needs or desires.

Remember, after quitting your job, which most home based Internet entrepreneurs will do, you have to be ready to adjust to the many challenges that lie ahead.

One eye-opening reality check is the risk is you'll stop getting your fixed source of income. There are good and bad sides to this. And depending on your case, they may either make or break your business life.  All jobs have some degree of uncertainty. 

In business we take calculated risks and have to deal with risks of failure or of success.  However, entrepreneurs have a good argument of controlling your own income is better than having other people fix it for you.

·      Control over your own income is the only way to true wealth. These best practices allow you to have greater room for growth. However, you must also be prepared for periods of losses. This site is designed to help prevent the losses and maximize the gains)

Remember that even the largest establishment fail. (except for banks, automakers and insurance companies) J

No one can ever be assured that Internet sales would keep on coming. You would surely have great and bad months and the only thing that you can be assured of is that you always have to deal with unpredictability of trends.

·      If you are not a risk taker, a steady paycheck may appeal to you more than an unsteady business earning.

As an entrepreneur, you have to face the truth that once you embark on an internet home based business, this very thing will be your life. It's like turning work into your obsession as to eliminate the work attitude and all factors that go with it.

Making money would be impossible unless you take charge of really marketing your business.

Well that would surely be a task that you would have to dedicate yourself into. Initially, you invest days of unrest for getting your home-based business through its second juncture. And the same would be true until you can actually settle yourself and realize that everything is going great.

Finally, remember that there is no sure path to success, even if we are to talk success in its many facets, than to toil and really sweat for it. In the end, you'll be happy that you did. After all, all your toil will boil down towards your earnings.

Before your eye gloss with the thought of establishing your own home based business via Internet, let us first have a reality check and check the trends.

Entrepreneurs venturing into the World Wide Web typically have dreams of having time all for themselves sitting on their couches with laptops on and money pouring continuously with every click. That's possible, all right but this normally is not a case

Though we are talking of home-based business in here, it is still not true that we can get things easily or that we can earn hundreds of thousands even while we sleep. Don't be lured with business opportunities in the web that offer too-good-to-be-true fantasies. If they're dealing with a motto like "be a millionaire in 1 month" then it is time for you to have doubts.

Success doesn’t come easy and you know this to be true. Only those who have a perfect combination of events and ideal attitude towards works would be the people who can be showered with success.

The specific idea of becoming a home based Internet business entrepreneur is that of leaving an old job of stressful deadline buzzing and annoying bosses overlooking your works, in exchange for a flexible job that you are in total control of.

That's true. You really would have these benefits when you switch to home base jobs and perhaps, you'll gain even more.

Well, working home based in the Internet is totally relieving. You wont have to abide with company cultures or deal with people you refuse to see every working days. You will also get around spending on transportation; clothing and eating allowances and most especially, you'll be freed from the worries of stress and tension.

However, it's not always easy to sail on with Internet businesses. They are equally risky as compared with off line business ventures. We are not putting a scare in here; it's just that we want you to open your eyes to truths that you would sooner or later face. We just want you to understand the truths that are inevitable parts of Internet business transactions.

However, if your home based Internet business works well for you, those losses will become insignificant as compared with the gains you have acquired through taking risks. 

We are here to help you.
