Why Work from Home Business Mom Reads Robert Kiyosaki Celebrates Own Your Channel

Why Work from Home Business Mom reads Robert Kiyosaki celebrates Own Your Channel Even More







Motherhood, Security, Independence..are there any more valuable words. Last week I lived them all and learned some important lessons about being a better networker.


MOTHERHOOD


...involved babysitting three children for my brother and his wife while they went on a much needed vacation. A 3 year old, a 6 year old and a 17 year old became my responsibility. It was full time work...First, the cooking from preparation to clean up from breakfast to a hot lunch to home cooked suppers. Second, the standard duties...mail, shopping, laundry, organization. Third, the quality playtime..reading, sharing discoveries, paying attention, toys, laughter, a few tears, helping, games, redirections (don’t like using the words No or Can’t ) and lots and lots of affirmations. I walked away with a renewed and deeper respect for the countless things moms do (without the aid of a day care facility).


And it’s a full time job..common enough to the last generation..like my mother who raised five children on a homestead...we were her focus, strength and world...a legacy we still enfold.


And it is unconditional protection, love and security for the best of futures.


SECURITY (versus Insecurity)


In the evenings I found a few minutes to myself. I read Robert Kiyosaki’s new book Conspiracy of the Rich. It is written in a readable style that actually does simplify the complex world of finances…what created today’s economic challenges and how they can be tempered. It is definitely recommended for its 8 New Rules of Money with the biggest concern on how the future will be different. Here are just a handful of factors:

• baby boomers are retiring and beginning to collect Social Security in an unprecedented rate..78 million
• suburbs are ground zero for the subprime mess..major shopping centers and retailers are closing their doors while online shopping is taking off
• television networks are losing advertisers to the world wide web
• major airlines are on life support while people visit all over the world via the Internet
• pension plans are going broke both company pensions, health care and Social Security
• China will soon be the richest country on Earth and is asking that the US dollar no longer be the reserve currency of the world

One eye is watching the children sleeping peacefully...one eye is now watching warily economic forces unfold over which most families have no control.  One hand is rocking the cradle...the other hand is building a life raft.


A home business with a personal supplementary income is definitely an answer in this uncertain economic forecast. The next question is what kind of home business? Who will help me? How much will it cost? How much can I make?


INDEPENDENCE


You can see how busy Moms are and their priorities are with their growing children.


They do not have time to master product features, industry fundamentals, marketing, call lists, self-development courses or metamorphose into an “attraction marketing guru.” They do have valuable skills of friendship, communication, integrity, and talent enough to amplify their earnings with proper support and simple home business plan.


This is why I celebrate Own Your Channel as my family’s way to long-term income and financial independence. It offers the best TRUE balance in the network marketing MLM home-based industry based on three main benefits:

• comprehensive leverage..share one expert video
• simple duplication...can you send an email...follow-up phone call
• maximum residual income...one team earns from multiple companies' payplans.

You can start a home business team for $9 month. You can join an Entrepreneur’s Assembly Line and learn in time and association with other social minded networkers. Learn more about how to position yourself in a Clearing House and receive a $299 account to start and Pay It Forward to others.


Robert Kiyosaki in his new book spends a lot of time talking about people investing in their financial education and different ways of preparing for prosperity even in a struggling economy. Read his USA Today excerpt about whether our current education system is helping or hinder us... http://blogs.usatoday.com/oped/2010/02/column-we-need-two-school-systems-.html

This one video is the best financial advice I have heard and it takes about 40 minutes.

Your questions and comments are always important. Let's start by finding out more about what is important to you. If you're a stay at home Mom...my many kudos to you.

My favorite all time quote by Jim Rohn for all families and children: 

Indecision is the thief of opportunity.


Every life form seems to strive to its maximum except human beings.


How tall will a tree grow? As tall as it possibly can.


Human beings, on the other hand,


have been given the dignity of choice.


You can choose to be all or you can choose to be less.


Why not stretch up to the full measure of the challenge


and see what all you can do?

Home Business Success with Own Your Channel: Two Great Gifts..Wisdom and Self-Belief

Two great gifts: Gift of wisdom from the 1900’s and gift of fearless self-belief to home business success with Own Your Channel.


“One’s mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions.” (Oliver Wendell Holmes)


In the spirit of sharing here is one gift of wisdom as we celebrate this one special holiday among many others. It is the story of how one man earned $5 million dollars in the early 1900’s when the common working wage was about $400 a year, a lawyer earned $2500 annually, and a 4-cylinder, five-passenger car was $1250.
He repeated one action over and over again.
His fortune allowed him to found a small seminary to train Baptist ministers. That school soon grew into Temple University, one of the first universities to offer affordable education to working-class Americans: it stands today as the most visible example of his legacy and vision.


His name was Reverend Russell Conwell. In an era when many Americans would pack public halls to hear speeches given by great citizens of their day, Russell Conwell read his world-famous lecture hundreds of times over and over again. It was titled "Acres of Diamonds," and it was delivered more than 6,000 times to audiences.


His speech told the story of a farmer who sold his farm so he could travel overseas searching for diamonds. After a lifetime of searching, he returned home penniless, having never found treasure.


In the meantime, one day, the man who purchased his farm noticed a sparkle in the stream running through the property. He waded into the water and found – a diamond!


Turns out, the farm was sitting on one of the world’s largest diamond mines, which made the new owner a fortune beyond his imagination or dreams.


The point of Conwell’s speech: you can find a fortune literally in your own backyard, if you just take the time to look for it.

The reverend concluded his talk by saying: “Your diamonds are not in far distant mountains or in yonder seas. They are in your own backyard if you but dig for them.”

So what gems can we gather from this story a century later?
Several, actually, if we dig deep enough.


Gem #1: the perennial lesson that the rewards of work, education, and finding the riches of life can be found “in one's own back yard.” I would add “within your mental framework.” It doesn’t matter what your walk in life. There are no physical obstacles to stop you.

Gem #2: the resources to achieve all good things…opportunity, service, achievement, and fortune are in your hands…no need for a futile search to emulate them in other backyards.


Gem #3: just imagine how the resources of our Information Technology are infinitely more available now than compared to a 100 years ago…We now have an electronic virtual transmission of the power of knowledge or “intellectual distribution” without boundaries or limitations. Within the reach of our fingertips, we can share valuable social networking, a new brilliant reverse logic to a standard way of networking, a compelling video..a webinar..an unprecedented opportunity..and joint ventures.


What if, you repeated one action over and over again with the power of a phone or keyboard.


It starts by sharing a simple link to a couple of expert videos.


But it’s not the Grinch we must avoid…but rather the “kink to the link”..if you wish. This gift of information is invaluable only if you see the purpose and others also see the value.

This first gift of wisdom is priceless only if we also offer the second gift of self-belief both to ourselves and to others. We need to avoid the "kink" of assumption of not looking or negation by inaction.


The second gift is something we can only open from within. Imagine if you can wrap yourself as a present and “present” yourself to your family, your community and, now essentially, the world. What would your “presence” offer to those who “open” your thoughts and actions? Is it heroes of hope or enemies of fear?


Once more, let Jim Rohn’s wisdom help to “face the enemies within” and secure the reasons to discover change, hope and success.


We are not born with courage, but neither are we born with fear.Maybe some of our fears are brought on by your own experiences, by what someone has told you, by what you've read in the papers. Some fears are valid, like walking alone in a bad part of town at two o'clock in the morning. But once you learn to avoid that situation,you won't need to live in fear of it.


Fears, even the most basic ones, can totally destroy our ambitions.
Fear can destroy fortunes. Fear can destroy relationships.
Fear, if left unchecked, can destroy our lives.
Fear is one of the many enemies lurking inside us.


Let me tell you about four other enemies we face from within.


The first enemy that you've got to destroy before it destroys you
is indifference.

What a tragic disease this is. "Ho-hum, let it slide. I'll just drift along."
Here's one problem with drifting: you can't drift your way to the top of the mountain.


The second enemy we face is indecision.
Indecision is the thief of opportunity and enterprise.
It will steal your chances for a better future. Take a sword to this enemy.


The third enemy inside is doubt.
Sure, there's room for healthy skepticism. You can't believe
everything. But you also can't let doubt take over. Many people

doubt the past, doubt the future, doubt each other, doubt the

government, doubt the possibilities and doubt the opportunities.
Worse of all, they doubt themselves.
I'm telling you, doubt will destroy your life and your chances of success.
It will empty both your bank account and your heart.
Doubt is an enemy Go after it. Get rid of it.


The fourth enemy within is worry.
We've all got to worry some. Just don't let it conquer you.

Instead, let it alarm you. Worry can be useful. If you step off the
curb in New York City and a taxi is coming, you've got to worry.
But you can't let worry loose like a mad dog that drives you into a
small corner.
Here's what you've got to do with your worries: drive them into a small corner.
Whatever is out to get you, you've got to get it.
Whatever is pushing on you, you've got to push back.


Do battle with the enemy. Do battle with your fears.
Build your courage to fight what's holding you back, what's keeping you from
your goals and dreams. Be courageous in your life and in your actions.


Now you have two gifts: the gift of valuable information..how to be an entrepreneur..how to join a team of veteran successful business people.
PLUS..
the gift of self-belief with no timidity, no worry, no doubt, no indifference, no indecision. The mental apparitions of excuses and fears will no longer constrict your physical abundance.


What would you do if you weren’t afraid?


What would you do if you had a simple message of opportunity and prosperity to share over and over with others?


What legacy would you leave if you had a fortune?

Your questions and comments are always important.

Home Business News with Own Your Channel Done Right..the Bad, the Good, the Best

Home Business News with Own Your Channel Network Marketing Done Right..the Bad, the Good, the Best



“Don’t become a victim of yourself. Forget about the thief waiting in the alley; what about the thief in your mind?”Jim Rohn






The bad news is that this recession has caused an unemployment rate that hovers about 10%. Joblessness has wreaked financial and emotional changes and hardships for countless people. The good news is that Own Your Channel offers real stewardship and opportunity to become self-employed with a profitable home business. The best news is that change begins at a personal level..and no one can calls us to action like Jim Rohn.


BAD NEWS


Recently a New York Times/CBS Poll surveyed 708 unemployed adults. You can read the entire article and actual people.Poll reveals depth and trauma of joblessness


Unemployment has caused major life changes and mental health issues for millions of Americans, a New York Times/CBS News poll found.


http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/34428644/ns/business-the_new_york_times/from/ET


Now here are some of the realities faced by unemployed workers which applied to nearly half of them

• borrowed money from friends or relatives
  
• cut back on doctor’s visits or medical treatments and did not have health insurance
  
• suffered from depression, anxiety, insomnia
  
• encountered more difficulties with conflicts and arguments
  
• had trouble maintaining even the basic necessities ,paying house payments and other bills


• faced rising foreclosures and evictions


• more embarrassed and ashamed of being out of work (men more so than women)


• majority were rethinking career choices, moving, retraining


• took on additional hours or another job to make ends meet (or spouse)

Does receiving unemployment benefits cover basic necessities…61 percent said no.


Does the job market look promising for future security… 39 percent anticipate improvement, 36 percent expect it will stay the same, and 22 percent say it will get worse.


Who or what is to blame for this high unemployment rate?


The highest blame went first to government and politicians (37%), banks (8%), globalization (8%) and other causes


Another interesting note: Approximately 30% people in a nationwide poll said their salary had been cut due to bad economic conditions.


GOOD NEWS


So is there a silver lining in this stormy economic prediction?


A network marketing home business is an ideal solution but it must be done right. The normal sequence must be reversed. Given a choice, what sequence would you choose:


a) join a top network marketing company ($50 for kit)..order autoshipment product ($100 -200 monthly (or more)..training/marketing materials ($100 or more)..time commitment steep learning curve..then build your team hoping others will pay the cost in dollars and hours.


b) build a home business team ($9 a month). When the team is large enough then join a top network marketing company and make calculated profits from Day 1. Your training/marketing is all about telling others one simple truth: if you have a big enough team, you'll make money in ANY network marketing company. 


A compelling video explains how this works.


BEST NEWS


Only you turn that first page away from Bad News. Only you can look in the mirror and decide to choose to make changes. You need to believe you deserve better..no way to blame others..no one else to lift your veil of frustration..no excuses with a legitimate, healthy home business you can start to build for $9 a month.


And while you’re looking in the mirror..repeat these words by Jim Rohn:


Each of us has two distinct choices to make about what we will do with our lives. The first choice we can make is to be less than we have the capacity to be. To earn less. To have less. To read less and think less. To try less and discipline ourselves less. These are the choices that lead to an empty life. These are the choices that, once made, lead to a life of constant apprehension instead of a life of wondrous anticipation.


And the second choice? To do it all! To become all that we can possibly be. To read every book that we possibly can. To earn as much as we possibly can. To give and share as much as we possibly can. To strive and produce and accomplish as much as we possibly can. All of us have the choice.


To do or not to do. To be or not to be. To be all or to be less or to be nothing at all.


Like the tree, it would be a worthy challenge for us all to stretch upward and outward to the full measure of our capabilities. Why not do all that we can, every moment that we can, the best that we can, for as long as we can?


Our ultimate life objective should be to create as much as our talent and ability and desire will permit. To settle for doing less than we could do is to fail in this worthiest of undertakings.


What if: the economic recession will continue to track on and you choose only to blame others and make excuses


What if: a simple video can explain a new and exciting home business opportunity with extraordinary income?


What if: repeating Jim Rohn’s words a few times a day will change our belief system and empower our future.


What if..a simple Mini-Program for Maxi-Profits covers the essential basics and training?

What if..you never try and another year passes by...


What if..we take the chance to talk about your dreams, achievements and what you would like to accomplish. Your comments and questions are always welcome.

Home Business review: how one formula, one decision can change your life

Home business review..how one decision, one formula, one day can change your life..Part 5


In the last 4 blogs we have looked at a home business based on network marketing principles. We have compared two different home business marketing plans. We have drawn on the wisdom of a personal vision (Denis Waitley) and the gift of time (Brian Tracy). We have minimized the parts that are difficult and maximized the main features that determine volume of cash flow unique to this special home business model.

Two exclusive features stand out:

• distribution model where average people can start a home business at low cost with high earning potential through leverage of time and expertise
• duplication model where a defined marketing plan determines high earning potential through a simple sharing process..I Can Do This..You Can Do This…

We described a formula that meets the criteria..simple, efficient, comprehensive, low cost, with unlimited residual profits.

You have to make a decision now. What will it take? What if one decision can change everything for you. Some people wait years, decades, even their entire lifes hoping that something will change…to hope boldly what others may not believe. But you can't put hope into your wallet.

What about if all your waiting and hoping can be found in one unsuspecting moment. One realization, one action, one seemingly insignificant step can put you on a completely different path ... and ultimately fashion your own dreams.

The good news is you don't have to wait for some external circumstances to activate them. You have the power to create the kind of conditions you want to transform your life. This is your life’s journey and only you can run the course to the best of your abilities and self-worth. The switches are yours to start or stop.

What is stopping you from starting:

• a personal evaluation that circumstances in your life are less than ideal
• own personal emotion that you are worthy of something more, you deserve better for yourself and your family
• personal beliefs that you are a strong and ethical and you will not allow excuses to control your life potential
• laser-like focus on the time..there will never be a better time to act because the word IF doesn’t exist in reality, just in shadowy doubts of your mind

Take the action as soon as possible, before the feeling passes and before the idea dims ….without action, the wisdom is wasted… Jim Rohn

Take the action today, right now, to plug into a profitable home business based on an extraordinary wellness product ..a win-win situation from every facet.

Start to “employ” a SIMPLE FORMULA for a DEMOCRATIC MARKETING PLAN

PROFITS =leveraged message + democratic plan x duplication

P = LM + DP x D

The best way to visualize it is as a straight line going from where you are to where you want to be. The theory is that the more material you produce, the longer the process, the more objections, the less duplication, the less profits

1. LEVERAGED MESSAGE
…use professional information tools to work on your behalf 24/7 beyond physical limitations of how much time you have and where you are

2. DEMOCRATIC PLAN
…network marketing is based on the founding principle that average people with above average dreams can start a low-cost, part-time home business and can earn potential high profits based on the principle of duplication I CAN DO This..YOU CAN DO THIS

3. DUPLICATION
...the key to high profits in network marketing is the duplication of a simple marketing system. The key to success in this simple marketing system is a short, comprehensive curriculum guide to how this industry works. It is simple-to-follow, low-cost, generic, standardizes content to handle questions and objections, and time efficient and practical for everyone to use.

How fair, democratic with unlimited potential is this.

Questions and comments are always welcome about what works, or doesn’t, for you..or why procrastinations are controlling your life.

As a special treat, the following excerpt is by Jim Rohn, one of the best known business philosophers.

The Time to Act

by Jim Rohn

Engaging in genuine discipline requires that you develop the
ability to take action. You don't need to be hasty if it isn't
required, but you don't want to lose much time either. Here's the
time to act: when the idea is hot and the emotion is strong.

Let's say you would like to build your library. If that is a strong
desire for you, what you've got to do is get the first book. Then
get the second book. Take action as soon as possible, before the
feeling passes and before the idea dims. If you don't, here's what
happens -

- YOU FALL PREY TO THE LAW OF DIMINISHING INTENT -

We intend to take action when the idea strikes us. We intend to do
something when the emotion is high. But if we don't translate that
intention into action fairly soon, the urgency starts to diminish.
A month from now the passion is cold. A year from now it can't be
found.

So take action. Set up a discipline when the emotions are high and
the idea is strong, clear, and powerful. If somebody talks about
good health and you're motivated by it, you need to get a book on
nutrition. Get the book before the idea passes, before the emotion
gets cold. Begin the process. Fall on the floor and do some
push-ups.

You've got to take action; otherwise the wisdom is
wasted. The emotion soon passes unless you apply it to a
disciplined activity. Discipline enables you to capture the emotion
and the wisdom and translate them into action. The key is to
increase your motivation by quickly setting up the disciplines. By
doing so, you've started a whole new life process.

Here is the greatest value of discipline: self-worth, also known as
self-esteem. Many people who are teaching self-esteem these days
don't connect it to discipline. But once we sense the least lack of
discipline within ourselves, it starts to erode our psyche. One of
the greatest temptations is to just ease up a little bit. Instead
of doing your best, you allow yourself to do just a little less
than your best. Sure enough, you've started in the slightest way to
decrease your sense of self-worth.

There is a problem with even a little bit of neglect. Neglect
starts as an infection. If you don't take care of it, it becomes a
disease. And one neglect leads to another. Worst of all, when
neglect starts, it diminishes our self-worth.

Once this has happened, how can you regain your self-respect? All
you have to do is act now! Start with the smallest discipline that
corresponds to your own philosophy. Make the commitment: "I will
discipline myself to achieve my goals so that in the years ahead I
can celebrate my successes."

To Your Success,
Jim Rohn

How a simple plan keeps Personal Enemies at Bay in my Home Business

How a Simple 3-Step Plan Keeps Personal Enemies at Bay in my Home Business

One of the foremost philosophers for home business entrepreneurs is Jim Rohn. Nobody can craft the English language…personalize abstract concepts to concrete forms or metaphors to better understand a bigger, more integrated process.

Starting a home business is a huge undertaking and long term process. There will be the invisible fears and unknowns to haunt you and no one can materialize them like this favorite essay by Jim.

As a home business entrepreneur, we all face the apparitions in both quiet moments and hectic paces..what have I got myself into...what am I going to do next..what will others think..

But my home business is built on strong network marketing principles. My defenses are well fortified by a simple basic business plan...3 strong pillars; namely,

• education first so you know the main facts
• empowerment to believe you can win
• an exciting change that is welcome and anticipated

Ignorance cannot make a stand against education.
Excuses can not penetrate the shield of self-empowerment.

Change will not be a heavy door to hammer through but a wide archway and beckoning light to freedom and a brighter future for your whole family.

Your comments and questions are always appreciated...what are some of your personal enemies?

Facing the Enemies Within...

By Jim Rohn

We are not born with courage, but neither are we born with fear.
Maybe some of our fears are brought on by your own experiences, by
what someone has told you, by what you've read in the papers. Some
fears are valid, like walking alone in a bad part of town at two
o'clock in the morning. But once you learn to avoid that situation,
you won't need to live in fear of it.

Fears, even the most basic ones, can totally destroy our ambitions.
Fear can destroy fortunes. Fear can destroy relationships. Fear, if
left unchecked, can destroy our lives. Fear is one of the many
enemies lurking inside us.

Let me tell you about five of the other enemies we face from within.

The first enemy that you've got to destroy before it destroys you
is indifference.

What a tragic disease this is. "Ho-hum, let it slide. I'll just
drift along." Here's one problem with drifting: you can't drift
your way to the top of the mountain.

The second enemy we face is indecision.

Indecision is the thief of opportunity and enterprise. It will
steal your chances for a better future. Take a sword to this enemy.

The third enemy inside is doubt.

Sure, there's room for healthy skepticism. You can't believe
everything. But you also can't let doubt take over. Many people
doubt the past, doubt the future, doubt each other, doubt the
government, doubt the possibilities and doubt the opportunities.
Worse of all, they doubt themselves. I'm telling you, doubt will
destroy your life and your chances of success. It will empty both
your bank account and your heart. Doubt is an enemy Go after it.
Get rid of it.

The fourth enemy within is worry.

We've all got to worry some. Just don't let it conquer you.
Instead, let it alarm you. Worry can be useful. If you step off the
curb in New York City and a taxi is coming, you've got to worry.
But you can't let worry loose like a mad dog that drives you into a
small corner. Here's what you've got to do with your worries: drive
them into a small corner. Whatever is out to get you, you've got to
get it. Whatever is pushing on you, you've got to push back.

The fifth interior enemy is over-caution.

It is the timid approach to life. Timidity is not a virtue; it's an
illness. If you let it go, it'll conquer you. Timid people don't
get promoted. They don't advance and grow and become powerful in
the marketplace. You've got to avoid over-caution.

Do battle with the enemy. Do battle with your fears. Build your
courage to fight what's holding you back, what's keeping you from
your goals and dreams. Be courageous in your life and in your
pursuit of the things you want and the person you want to become.
