Are you having problems being productive enough in yourbusiness? Do you always feel like you’re wasting too much time?There’s a simple solution I’ve used to raise my productivity. Isimply plan too much work for there to be any time for me towaste. There’s and old saying that says, “If you want to something toget done, give it to the busiest person you know.” Why not give it to someone who has a lot of time on theirhands? Simple. People with a lot of time on their hands tend towaste a lot of time. On the other hand, a person who is ultrabusy will simply put it in their plan and get it done ratherthan letting it sit around when they have time to do it later.They know there won’t be time to do it later. You need to plan your days so that they’re packed with work. Ifthere are just one or two items on your plan, you’re more likelyto spend your time surfing the Internet since you know you’llhave time to get your work done later. If your day is so packedfull of things to do, you’ll find yourself working hard all day.You may be tired at the end of the day. In fact, you’ll morethan likely be tired at the end of the day, but you’ll feel alot more satisfied that you actually accomplished something. Now don’t go overboard with your planning at first. Try to planenough work that you know it will be difficult to finish in oneday, but don’t plan a week’s worth of work for one day. If youstart out with far too much work, then you’ll find that you’llsimply get discouraged. One thing you will notice is that ifyou keep pushing yourself everyday, you’ll soon beaccomplishing your tasks faster and will be able to plan moreitems into your day. You may even find that you eventually areable to accomplish what used to take you a week only takes youa day! Again, don’t get discouraged if this doesn’t work for you atfirst. I’ve known many people who really struggle with gettingmore done, but they keep pushing themselves. Eventually they dofind themselves reaching much higher levels of productivity. You can do it too. All you need to do is try.About The Author: Gary Ruplinger is an Internet Marketer whoteaches other people how to make their businesses make moremoney.

Benefits of a Home Business
Taking advantage of a home-based business opportunity can reward you with many benefits. There are not only the financial benefits, but lifestyle benefits as well.

Whether you are already working your home business or just entertaining the idea, make sure you examine your options and consider the value of the benefits you will gain. Home-based business opportunities can provide you with independence and financial freedom if you make smart decisions. Smart decisions are based on doing your research. Is it a reputable company? Are they asking for a start up fee? If so, do they offer a money back guarantee? Is there training and support available? These are all very important questions to consider before signing on.

It is not always financial gains that motivate people to start a home-based business. There are intangible benefits that sometimes are more important factors when considering starting a home-based business. One of the more powerful draws to working from home is the sense of freedom you gain.

You can set your own hours. Depending on the type of business you are running, you can work any hours of the day or night. You can even work in your PJ’s (think of the money you’ll save on dry cleaning).

Parents with children in school often think about the benefits of a home-based business. Teacher conferences, after school activities, soccer games, softball practice, dance class and the ability to be home when the children are out of school are all good reasons parents think about when deciding to start a home-based business. Working from home gives you the benefit of flexible hours and the freedom to adjust your schedule according to the needs of your family.

Stress reduction is another benefit of operating a home-based business. Any business will likely produce its own kind of stress, but certain stressful factors can be avoided when you take advantage of the more promising home business opportunities that are available to you.

Since you are the boss, you need only to answer to yourself. You set the rules. You determine the pace. Let us not forget about the stress of sitting in traffic during rush hour. Or getting home before the bus gets there (you moms know what I’m talking about).

A home-based business opportunity cannot only give you the benefit of earning money while working from the comfort and convenience of your home it can give you many other benefits as well. A home-based business is the perfect chance for you to attain financial and personal freedom. You will gain a great sense of accomplishment. There are many legitimate business opportunities to choose from. You owe it to yourself and your family to find the one that is right for you.

I'm Still Here!

It's been a crazy summer and I apologize for not getting back here before now. Business has been booming! I never expected things to take off so fast. It's hard sometimes to keep up with it all. Don't get me wrong, I'm by no means complaining.

I read an article in Entreneur Magazine, September edition by Cornelia M. Flannery. I would like to share this with you all as I know how frustrating it can be sometimes when you start your own business. You must always remember to never, never give up! Good things take time. With that being said, here is the article:

What To Do When You Want To Give Up

Any successful entrepreneur will tell you that starting a business isn't always a smooth ride. Doors close. People object. Stuff happens. Here are some 10 minute actions you can take when you feel like throwing in the towel and walking away from your dream.

*Calm Yourself Down
Breathe. Count to 10. Go for a walk. Do something that will take you out of your emotional reactions and give you perspective on your situation.

*Read Your End Goal Statement
Remind yourself of what you're creating and why. This tends to jump-start your motivation because you've written it in the present tense, as if it were happening now.

*Change Your Focus
Make a list of the positives. This could include what you have achieved, the contacts you have made or how much you have grown through the process thus far.

*Look For The Opportunity
Ask yourself, "What is the situation trying to teach me?" Challenges can be the most valuable form of feedback. Any setback, glitch or crisis can be used as an opportunity to help you move forward.

*Get Support
Hire a coach. Find a mentor. Consult an expert. Talk to an objective person (someone who believes in you) who can help evaluate the situation, answer your questions or guide you in finding the right solution.
End Article

For me the most helpful one has been "Get Support". To talk to others who are doing what you are doing, or have been doing it a lot longer than you and know the do's and don'ts. This has proved to be priceless to me.

One word of advice. Be careful when selecting a free work at home job. There are many out there that are only trying to get your money by selling you high hopes and unreachable dreams.

  For parents who want it all, running a business from home offers the best of both the work and parenting worlds. But as any parent who has fielded a phone call while changing a diaper and bandaging a scraped knee can tell you, homepreneuring offers its own unique challenges. Frequent interruptions top the list. Not only do interruptions make it difficult to maintain focus and momentum, they also can dramatically increase stress. All told, it can be a challenging combination when your income is tied directly to your ability to work efficiently. Here are 7 tips for helping you juggle the demands of running a business with kids at home:
  
  1. Be the CEO. Run your household as a business, with you in the CEO’s seat and your kids playing the role of staff. The challenges you face as a work-from-home entrepreneur are nearly identical to the challenges you’d face in corporate America the only difference is that the people you’re managing are your adorable children.
  
  2. Set schedules and boundaries for your kids.
  
  3. Delegate. Identify everything that other people can handle just as well or better than you can – and then farm out those responsibilities.
  
  4. Let go.
  
  5. Work with other work-at-home entrepreneurs.
  
  6. Empathize.
  
  7. Plan properly and quickly accept that projects will take longer to complete than expected whether you’re in your at home office or a corporate setting.As a working parent, you’ll no doubt be socked with the “I don’t want you to work” guilt trip once in a while. But as a work-at-home parent, you can rest assured that you’re giving your kids the very best of both worlds – a nurturing parent who is there when your kids really need you… and a parent who sets a stellar example of what entrepreneurs can accomplish professionally without sacrificing their family values.

Hope everyone had a safe and Happy July 4th. Now, back to work! I have updated my webiste since my last post. More great work from home opportunities to choose from. Here are a few key points in choosing a home based business. First, do your research. Check out the company with the BBB. Go to http://www.bbb.com and enter the company name or website address. It is important to know that you are dealing with a reputable company.
Second, make sure this new business is something that interests you. If you have no interest in what you are doing, you will do a very poor job at it and if you do a poor job at it, it will not be very profitable. Third, and most important, once you find what you want, give it 100%. You MUST be determined to not give up! It is very important to lay down a good foundation for your business. This may take awhile, but will increase your benefits. "Good things take time" or, if you prefer "Rome wasn't built in a day" are two great phrases to keep in mind.
To Your Success!
