How can knowing EVE increase your home business profits?

How can knowing EVE increase your home business profits?



As an avid reader and retired teacher, I recently came across an interesting question and explanation:



Do you know what your EVE ratio is?

This is your entertainment vs education ratio.


Have you ever thought about how much do you spend every month on entertainment:

cable tv ______ movies _______ sports ______ hobbies ______ vacations ________ dining ________ internet ________ video games _________ social clubs _________ etc?


What do you spend every month in continuing education for personal development or adapting to new economic changes?


The average person has a ratio of 50 or 100 to 1! Do you think this could partially explain the cause of the current economic turmoil?

You can quickly figure out what your EVE ratio is.


Part 1: On a piece of paper write down some activities you like to do. Some examples for entertainment are listed above. Now beside each activity write down on a MONTHLY basis how much money you spend and how much time you spend. Add up the totals for expenses and time.

Part 2: Now write down something you learned from an educational program...cost and time involved. Add up total cost and time.

Now compare entertainment with education. What is your EVE ratio?
Are you thinking that maybe, just maybe, you could try and improve it? Would that change your potential for success in any way, shape or form?

Education is defined as “bringing up” (of the young or older...I'd add) systematic instruction, development of character or mental powers. And it is certainly far beyond any school instruction or system. LEARNING IS~A LIFETIME JOURNEY.


Now I want you to think of this comparison carefully.

There are two rooms... TV and To Be and you get to spend ONE HOUR in each room.

Which would you choose and Why?


In the TV room is a TV set and you can watch Housewives with fantasies, Reality Shows with unrealistic expectations, Entertainment by Fabulous People to make unfabulous people feel even more so... do as much surfing as you want.


In the To Be Room you can turn on an education program: Examples


  • how to communicate effectively..33 words that answer every objection and stretch every thought

  • how to set goals…setting goals is conscious thinking…achieving goals is unconscious thinking

  • how to build self-esteem and overcome adversity..changing habits..the brain’s software..simple powerful affirmations

  • how to start a home business with 3 simple steps to build a lifetime income

  • how online marketing works..how to reach thousands of potential customers with the whole world as your backyard

  • art and power of listening..and many more

Which room would you choose: TV or To Be?


Ultimately, it is your choice and legacy.


Your questions and comments are always welcome.
