The Power of Decision

2007-03-17T14:57:00.000-07:00

Do you want to have more power in your life? I sure do. What am I
referring to? The power that will make you successful and help you
to have more time and energy... The power to give up a destructive
habit in your life or to pick up good habits in your life.

Do you think that you can make a decision right now that will cause
your present situation to get worse? I’m sure that we can all answer
that question with a yes!

If that is true, and it is, then do you think that you can make a decision
right now to make your present situation better? Again, I’m sure that
we can answer that question with a yes.

So, if that is true, and it is, then why not think of a decision right now

that will help you out in the long run. What kind of a decision can you

make right now that can literally change your life?

- Think about just one habit that you can get rid of that will improve

your life, and concentrate on accomplishing it right now.

-Set your target date, right it down, and put it in front of you. Then
stick to your decision until you accomplish it. Sounds easy doesn’t it? It
will require that you be strong, but guess what. You will gain power from
it for the next change you decide to make.

-If you will do this methodically and consistently, just imagine the
growth you will realize in a year’s time.

Are you the kind of person that really enjoys working out, or exercising
in some fashion? I am. I really enjoy the feeling I get from working out
regularly. When you are consistent at something, you get better and
stronger at it. I teach my kids this concept with their sports. My oldest
son likes to play baseball and he understands the value of practicing to
get better at it. The more you do it, the stronger you get at it. Have you
heard that your body cells total replaces themselves over about a seven
year period? Well, your new cells are at the level of maturity of the cell
that was replaced. This means that you can constantly grow in your
abilities Your new cells“ remember” the new things you have learned.

Take playing the guitar or something like that. If you’re practicing regularly,
your new cells are already trained to the level that you’re at in that
moment. Then you continue to learn and get better, you continue to gain
more ability.

Well, this holds true in making the right decision too. The more you
“exercise” making the right decision when faced with a choice, the
stronger you will become at it. You are never just “standing still”. You
are either learning and growing stronger by making more right decisions,
or you are growing weaker by making the wrong decisions.

Everything in this life is about choices, and the decision(s) you make
with those choices. Most decisions have long term effects and many choices
inherently have an allotted amount of time from sowing the seed to when
you reap the harvest. There are no microwave solutions. Sowing seeds and
reaping the harvest is always accompanied by the growing period which is
totally effected by the decisions made through out the whole process.

For great success, you need to make calculated decisions, based on a plan
of action. Then you must stick to the plan. You must take action on your
plan, or you are making the wrong decision that will effect the outcome.

My goal with this article is to help people who are interested in
learning, to take control of the decisions they make and effect their
whole life in a positive way by making the right decisions. This is the
Power of Decision. The decisions you make really do effect your whole
life, good or bad. You can choose the right decision, and you can choose
the right decision every single time. Will you?

Copywriting

For those of you who are not familiar with the art of copywriting, this
article will focus on giving an introduction to the subject and why it
is in such high demand today.

The field of copywriting is large and continues to expand every year.
A way to describe copywriting is putting a creative message in front of
a consumer. In the book, Copywriting, it is mentioned that copywriting
is based upon three fundamental principles. When you are writing to a
customer, there has to be an involvement between the customer and the
seller. You must then make sure that you explain the rewards as far as
when the customer is purchasing a product. The final piece is
achievement and that is what you as the writer will be focusing on.

Whenever you write copy, you are looking to have a certain effect upon
consumers. Usually this effect will be for consumers to desire a
certain product because they will want to gain certain rewards. You
know that you've achieved your objectives by hitting certain sales
goals that have been set for your copywriting. There are many writers
in the world but there is a specific niche for copywriters.

Copywriters are the ones who write messages but mold them in a way that
it brings about an interest in a consumer. With the number of
advertisements out there today, consumers will not respond unless it is
something that specifically interests them. This is why it is more
important than ever to have a clear focus when you are writing your
copy so that you know which particular niche you're trying to hit
within the broader population.

There will always be a need for copywriters no matter whether the
economy is in a recession or in a boom. Companies must always put out
a message to consumers and as long as this demand is needed,
copywriters will be in high demand. If you are interested in working
as a copywriter, you will have many different places to look for work.
You can decide to work for advertising agencies, on the Internet, or be
your own boss. There are many different markets for you in these three
that were just listed.

When you are writing copy for a seller of a product, the key is that
you must remember to put yourselves in the shoes of the consumer. This
is done through doing extensive research and studying what goes through
the mind of that particular consumer. Each niche or group of people
will be different in what will motivate them to do certain things. By
doing this research, you will have a better idea of where you need to
go with the message that you are trying to convey to your target
audience.

This article on copywriting is meant to give you a broad overview of
the field. The demand for copywriters will always be strong due to the
need of companies to send messages to their audiences to buy their
products. If you do not employ someone to promote your product, you
will be left behind. This is why copywriting is such a good field and
is in such high demand. More Info on Copywriting

Have you decided that you're cut out to be an entrepreneur? Then begin here!

What to do?
Time management FIRST
SELF DISCIPLINE
Get in the habbit of doing the income producing activities
You have 24 hour every day- make the most and best use of your time. You are doing something now with every minute, right? (you are, even if it’s not productive). Something will have to go to make room for the new activities required to build a business. You have to decide what things to give up.
- TV time
- Email, web surfing that is not productive
- Procrastination- NOTHING works unless you do
- Useless chatter- Why waste time talking about things that you cannot change or fix?. Why waste time talking about other people?
- Being a perfectionist- Take pride in what you do, but don’t be anal over it. You really do need to ask your self; Is what I’m doing now going to matter by this time next week, month, year.
- Being lazy, sleeping too much, relaxing too much
DO IT, don’t procrastinate
Contemplate YOUR reason to succeed- YOUR WHY (what burning desire do you have that will keep you keeping on, even when your tired, facing difficulties or whatever?)
I’m building my home based business to buy back my personal freedom- to spend more time with my family-
The initial learning curve may require you to sacrifice the very thing you are trying to earn back, like time with your family, but with the proper goal setting and planning and tracking, you will accomplish what it is you are aiming for.
Ask your self- “Do I want to continue to carry buckets of water (trade my time for dollars), giving up x number of hours every day, week in, week out, year after year? Hoping that someday, when I retire, the government will carry some buckets for me? Or would I rather build a pipe line right now, part time while I continue to carry buckets, knowing that the extra effort I put in right now will provide a constant supply of water in the future (residual income). Once the pipline is completed, it will continue to supply not only my needs, but enough to share with others in need. And it will continue to do this even while I am sleeping, playing, traveling or serving others.
This little analogy is just an example of what you can accomplish by building a home based business. There are so many benefits to being your own boss. Are you the type of person that can succeed in your own business? Only you can answer that question, but if you are willing to roll up your sleeves and learn and put in the effort- you will succeed as long as you stick to it. NEVER give up.

Do you have what it takes to be an e-entrepreneur?
Copyright © Stone Evans, The Home Biz Guy
Author of "Dotcomology - The Science of Making Money Online"

These days, it seems like everyone wants to work
from home and make money on the Internet. But
before you even turn on your computer, the first
question you have to ask yourself is whether
you’re cut out for this kind of work.

The fact is, building a home-based business isn’t
for everyone. Some people like the commute. They
really do enjoy having a boss who tells them what
to do, and they like the routine of working
nine-to-five for an ordinary salary that can
barely pay the mortgage. Personally, I think
they’re nuts.

More reasonably, there are people who are
concerned about the risk of starting up their own
business. They’re not sure it’s worth the
investment of time and money, and they’re scared
of the responsibility that comes with running
their own company. They wonder if there is
another way to escape the rat race.

I’m sure there is. You could win the lottery or
wait for your Aunt Sue to keel over and leave you
her condo. Or maybe you could sit down with a pen
and paper and draw the blueprint for "The Next
Big Thing". Anything can happen... Right?

For me, what happened was creating a successful,
self-running Internet marketing system. It didn’t
happen without effort. It didn’t happen without
at least some initial investment of both time and
money and, of course, it doesn’t happen now
without me making sure that the taxes are filed
and the paperwork is done. But it happened.

I’m my own boss. I work from home according to my
own schedule and I get to pocket all the cash my
business makes. If you’re prepared to give an
e-business the time, the work and the money it
needs to get started and get growing, it can
happen for you too.

Can I Really Run A Home Based Business?? YES You Can!! Let's get busy!
Copyright © Greg Whitehead
http://www.FreedomChoices.biz

Home Business- Self Employment.

Ask yourself-

Why do I want to have a home based business?

Am I cut out to be self employed?

Do I have what it takes to run a home business?

What does it take to run a home based business?

What type of home business do I want to run?

Some people really should NOT be self employed…If you are one of those people, that’s fine, you have a position to fill in our society. Stick with it.

But even many who think they are not cut out to be self employed could be very successful at it with the proper training. Training in self improvement as well as training to run the particular business that you want.

Are you willing to learn?

Are you willing to try new things?

Are you willing to work hard for as long as it takes? You will need to commit to it because NOTHING WORKS- unless you do.

With the proper training, you can follow in someone else’s footsteps and avoid a lot of mistakes. I tell my kids that the one school that they will never graduate from is The School of Hard Knocks, and the less you are willing learn from others, the more hard knocks you will have to endure. If someone is where you want to be and they are willing to train you, then you can avoid a lot of hard knocks by following them.

Here are some things to consider about owning your own home based business.

- How much will it cost? Be realistic. It takes money to make money. If you don’t have the money right now, there are some resources available to help start making some money that you can use to fund your desired business. Check out my web site at FreedomChoices.biz for some ideas.

- There are many businesses that have a very low start up cost, if any. Many
home businesses can be started with what you already have.
Please understand though, if you run your business like a hobby, you might make hobby income {which will actually end up costing more in the long run, because you ROI, return on investment, will be lower), but if you treat it like a high dollar business, you can make a lot of money.

-What are the tax benefits? There are many tax benefits- check with your accountant or read books to see exactly what benefits are available to you, but there are many. One of the differences between the poor or middle class and the wealthy is that the wealthy know of ways to shelter their income from taxation.

- With many programs, you can create duplication, which will help grow your business exponentially. Now instead of earning money on the basis of trading time for dollars, your efforts are multiplied. More money, less effort.

- There most likely is a home business opportunity in any field that you are interested in, so check it out.
