  • The Universal Law Of Attraction Allows You To Be Creative
    Creative and business may sound like a contradiction to some. Creative denotes a certain freedom and business reminds one of rules and regulations. However every business can use the talent of a creative person. It definitely takes creativity to be the person who makes out the schedule at work. But if you are the person whose life is being scheduled you may not appreciate the surprises. If you are a creative person in a data entry position you may feel a little stifled. Then ...
  • How Do Your Business And Your Creativity Intermingle?
    When you hear the terms business and creative, you may realize that often these are oxymorons. It takes someone who thinks and works by structure and regulations to work in most businesses, while creativity brings you to think of artists and unstructured interpretations of things. There are some areas where creativity is used in a business world. However, if you have a creative personality and you are stuck in a job that does not allow you to use these creative talents, you m...

  • Turning A Dream Into A Nightmare
    To make money takes money, right? Or so many of us have heard and believed for years. Thus, when an individual seeks to open his own home business, he first seeks a way to obtain that money that he needs to make the money that he wants. The majority of those in this very situation will take the quickest route possible: straight to the bank. They will borrow the money they need and in the process risk items paramount to their ability to live, namely, their homes. Across the co...
  • Success In The Home Business Owner's Eyes
    Success lies in the eye of the beholder. Or maybe that's just beauty. We all define success differently. Some define it according to a bottom dollar amount. Did the home business owner earn more than he spent? Some will define it according to time. Did the home business owner spend time with his kids this week? Did he log in a date with his wife? Some will define it simply according to relationships. Do his kids like him? Does his wife not want to kill him this week? Home bus...
  • To Pay Or Not To Pay: Why Ask The Question?
    No one likes them, and yet everyone (who wants to stay out of prison) pays them. They help CPAs make a living, and they force everyone else to work harder. Taxes affect everyone. Without them we would have roads like those in most third world countries. Thus we can all recognize the value of tax dollars, and yet we complain when we must pay them. Home business owners have a unique position regarding taxes in that they must actually budget for them. They do not have a business...

  • The Value Of A Name
    Microsoft. McDonalds. Starbucks. MacIntosh. All of these names carry with them a specific image. Each has succeeded in their own area of business, and those who work for these companies, carry the company's reputation on their sleeve. Others judge employees based on the reputation of their employer. Home businesses have the unique opportunity to create a reputation from the ground up. So how do they do that?

    Home business owners learn early on to only make the promises th...
  • Count The Cost
    There's a cost for what we want most.

    Nothing comes free in this world. Even nineteenth century pirates understood that. Pirates of the Caribbean characters echoed this sentiment throughout the final of three films with the statement, "There's a cost for what we want most." How true. For every hour a businessman spends at his desk he misses another minute in the life of his children. For every hour a woman spends in the office, she misses another step that her toddler make...
  • Al Gore's Biggest Fault: Office Organization
    Don't be like Al Gore. Certainly the man has some endearing qualities. He's charismatic, a strong speaker, and a knowledgeable man who has no problem sharing his intellect with the world. But have you seen his office? Go ahead. Google Al Gore, and you will see one of the scariest pictures you've ever witnessed on the internet. There Al sits, in the middle of his office, staring at the three computer screens panned across one side of his corner desk. But then again, maybe that...
  • Hot Spots And Office Work

They have found a way to seemingly have it all, namely to make a living and spend time with their family at the same time. They understand the need to listen and learn from wise businessmen, to glean what they can, and most importantly, to be disciplined enough to stay organized.

  • Peanut Butter Invoices And Cheerio Tax Filings
    Have you ever had to consider whether or not to mail a specific invoice because of a peanut butter stain on its corner? Ever found a cheerio in among your tax documents? Do you have bad dreams that involve small children, company manuals, and a shredder? If so, you must run a home business in a small home. Those who come home to work do so because of the ones that leave the peanut butter stains, rogue cheerio, and bad dreams. However, ways exist to maximize the home office sp...
  • Water Your Roots: Maximize Your Home Business Location
    Trees need roots to grow. When a gardener plants a tree, he does not water the leaves or the branches. Instead, he sticks a hose near the roots and lets them soak up all the moisture they can hold. In the same way, whenever we begin a grass-roots business, whil we have the opportunity to expand, we must remember to maintain our roots: the community in which we live and work.

    In the past the success of a home business relied large on its geographical location. Local farmer...
  • Whiners Anonymous: (aka The Successful Home Business Owner Association)
    Tired of your job? Stop whining and do something about it. Those who whine often see little change. Those who do not whine seek a way to make things better, and then a new idea and business is born. Suddenly we have an entrepreneur, and if the thinker is a great money manager, a millionaire is born. How do these individuals move from a place of dissatisfaction to entrepreneur? It all starts with a great idea and blossoms with motivation and the desire to succeed.

  • Savvy Home Business Marketing
    The very best salesmen in the world have found a way to move any product to any consumer. We jokingly refer to them as the ones who could "sell ice to an Eskimo." They're the classic salesmen, the ones with charisma that remind the consumer of their innocent neighbor instead of the greasy used car salesmen across town. How does the average Joe, without that special charisma, learn to sell a product? Those who own their own home business understand the need to use marketing te...

  • Integrity And The Home Business
    Business depends on reputation. When an individual presents himself to a client, he or she will often say something to the effect of "Good morning. I'm Jim with Such-and-such Company," and insert his company's name in place of "such and such." Clients will identify that person with that business from that point forward. Furthermore, clients who know the business will trust that individual before meeting him based on that business's reputation. So what happens when that sales ...
  • Pro Or No: Taxes And The Home Business

Across town in the basement of an office, which his children affectionately call "the dungeon," the typical home business owner fiercely rubs his own brow in the h...
  • Doomed To Repeat
    Philosopher George Santayana once stated, "Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it." We see this repeatedly in military history, political history, and personal history. When we fail to learn from our parents' mistakes, we make the same mistakes. Thus we see things like higher divorce rates among children of divorcees. This principle applies to life in varied aspects. In the realm of home business, it serves the same purpose. Those who fail to learn from t...
  • From The Living Room To China

  • For Those Approaching Retirement Or In Retirement, Additional Income If Needed. Can No Longer Count On Social Security
    As many workers approach retirement age they begin to look through their retirement account and are dismayed that what they have managed to save over the years will not come close to what they need to live on in their so-called golden years.

  • Pensions Plans And Retirement Plans Are Not Being Offered Or Are Being Taken Away In The Corporate World.
