TODAY'S INSPIRATION!!

SUCCESS IS CLOSER THAN YOU THINK...

Every situation, properly perceived, becomes an opportunity. But you have to act on them if you're going to be successful.

Distant pastures always look greener than those close at hand, but real opportunities are right where you are.

You must simply take advantage of them when they appear. You can start where you are at any time.

Success is all around you. It's not in your environment, it's not in luck or chance, or in the help of others. Success is in yourself alone.

You don't need more strength or more ability or greater opportunity. What you need is to use what you have. Learn to seize good fortune, for it is always around you.

You must go to success, it doesn't come to you.

Open your own doors to opportunity.

Setting Attainable Goals For Your Home Based Business

When starting your own home based business, it is important to establish realistic, attainable goals that will motivate you to perform optimally and keep your business on track for its most critical objectives.  Setting goals for your home business is considered by most experts to be one of the most important elements of any business plan.  Here are some of the key factors to remember when setting goals for your home business.

1) It is admirable to set goals that seem out of reach because they may cause you to work harder than you thought necessary.  However, it is also important to set goals that you can actually achieve on a regular basis. Achieving the goal, however modest the goal may be, leaves an imprint of success in your memory, and will confirm your subconscious belief that you can in fact "do it" when it comes to your business.

2) You can set goals for your home business in different tiers, allowing you to monitor and achieve short-term goals regularly, while tracking your progress to attain broader, long-term goals. By focusing on the shorter-term goals of daily performance, you will be on track to reach you broader, long-term goals.

3) Reward yourself for success.  When you reach one of your goals, pause for a moment and reward yourself with a compliment, note or gift that indicates that you have done something positive for your home business. Rewarding yourself for such accomplishments will add positive reinforcement to your work routine, and give you something tangible to enjoy for your efforts.

These goal-setting tips have worked for thousands of home based business owners who wanted additional motivation and direction for their business. One of the best ways to get started setting goals for your business is to simply sit down with a pen and paper, and write out the specific actions you feel need to be taken to make your business more successful.  Keep what you have written close to your work area so you won't forget that you are serious about achieving the stated goals.  The more often you see your goals in writing, the more likely you are to work hard to achieve them.

TODAY'S INSPIRATION!!

Happy Tuesday!!! This inspiration is from my NVP's daily newsletter and I wanted to share with you today. Daily action steps no matter how big or small will get your closer to your goal of success!!

THE TIME FOR ACTION IS TODAY 

You must be ready when an opportunity comes before you. Luck is the time when your preparation and opportunity meet.

There is a tide in your affairs, which, when taken at the flood, will lead you on to fortune and success.

By the law of periodical repetition, everything which has happened once must happen again and again and again, not capriciously, but at regular periods, and each thing in it's own period, and each obeying its own law.

As events tend to repeat themselves, the tide of opportunity will come to you.

Be prepared and your chance for success is sure to come. Seize an opportunity to change your life.  You can change chance into good fortune if you are ready.

Look around you. The only sure thing about your luck is that it will change.

To Your Success!!

Happy Veteran's Day!!

God Bless those who gave their lives and those who are currently fighting for our freedom as we enjoy the comforts of our homes and families.

I usually spend this day off with my kids running to a department store to get their photo taken for our Christmas Cards. This year I decided to save time and money. Every year I make an appointment and get the kids all dressed up. It ends up NOT being alot of fun. Even though we have an appointment, we end up waiting at least 1 - 1 1/2 hours before it's our turn. And I hear "I'm hungry" and "Are we almost done". Well last year, I didn't like my Christmas greeting card. And it ends up costing quite a bit of money too. So today, we slept in and have enjoyed a nice big breakfast together as a family.

But I did get my Christmas greeting card photo done!! I just went to SNAPFISH and uploaded some really nice photos of the kids, picked out a background and now all I have to do is place my order!! I love it and it was so easy. And the best part is that I saved myself and family time and money:)

So, here is my preliminary card. And now I still have the entire day to work at home and enjoy my kids on their day off!

My Christmas Card 2010

 Have a great day everyone and enjoy and be grateful for all of your loved ones!!!

Time Management Tips For Busy WAHMS

Don't we all want more money rolling in?

Most people would like to start some sort of extra money-making project, especially at home. The problem is, not many of these people seem able to fit "a second job" into their time schedules.

So how do you manage your time?

True, most people are busy, but extra time for some sort of home-based

venture can be achieved. It's called time-management.

It may mean giving up or changing a few of your favorite pastimes -
such as spending time at the club or watching TV.

Think again. If you make it big with your extra income project, you will
have all the time in the world for doing whatever you want to do.

Taking Your First Step:

Firstly, sit down and list your daily schedule. When do you wake up?
Then step-by-step, list everything you do each day.

Most people have about three hours each day that can be utilized in
a more constructive or efficient manner.

It will be worth it in the long run if you start to employ efficient time
management.It all boils down to planning what you're going to do,
and then doing it without backtracking.

Make a list of the things you want to do tomorrow and each evening
before you go to bed.

Schedule your trips to the supermarket or wherever to coincide with
the other things you have to do, and with your trips to or from work.
you're out of the house.

Stop Shooting The Breeze:

Take stock of the time you spend standing around shooting the breeze -
especially the time you spend on the telephone or gossiping with the
neighbor - and eliminate all that isn't necessary.

Whatever chores you have to do at home, set aside a specific time to do
them, and a specific amount of time to devote to them.

Don't try to do a week's work in one big flurry. Just do a part of it, or one
particular job each day, and you'll be amazed at your progress.

Take care of all your mail the day you receive it. Don't let those bills and
letters pile up on you. If you're unable to pay a bill immediately, file it in a
special place that's visible, and note on the envelope the date you intend
to pay it. Answer your letters the same day you get them.

Time Is Yours, But It's Precious:

The important thing is to think of time as your most valuable asset, because
it is. So get organized. Decide what you have to do, and what you want to do.
From there, it's just a matter of arranging priorities.

Start to list and plan what you want to do, and then carry out your plans.
And you'll discover that you'll find plenty of "extra time" for handling virtually
any kind of home-based buisnesses.

Know the secret. All financially successful people are simply well organized .
They do not waste time.

Think about it. Review your own activities, and then see if you can't find a
couple of extra hours in each day for more constructive accomplishments.

And A Time To Relax:

Last but not least, when you're organizing your time and your business,
be sure to put aside some time for relaxation.

Make time for your family. You must not involve yourself in anything to an
extent that you exclude other people - particularly your loved ones -
from your life.

Taking stock of the time you waste each day, and from there, reorganizing
your activities is what it's all about. It's a matter of becoming more efficient
in the use of your time.

It's really easy to do, and you will not only accomplish a lot more, you will
also find greater fulfillment in your life. 

To Your Success!!
