Focus on The Important And Explode Your Home Based Business
Not long ago I went to see my son play in a tennis match. He had a pulled muscle and lost (to a guy he had always beaten), but only just. No problem.
Whilst I was watching, I began to think. There he was – just a notch below professional level. How did he get SO good?
Was it perseverance? That’s part of the story. Was it hard work? That’s another part. Was it or natural ability? Yep, that one too.
What else?
What about focus? Over the last 9 years, I have lost track of the number of times Nathan had another idea. Such as taking up soccer. Or martial arts. Or any old idea that he thought of.
I held firm. I said ‘toe the line,boy!’ And he did.
And here he is – after 9 grinding years – playing his heart out and looking like a star.
So focus (and persistence) is imperative. It’s the thing. But it is difficult. Particularly, if you want to get your home based business up and running.
It takes plenty of focus (and persistence). And it is S-O easy to get the wobbles and go off track. So many temptations – sometimes I feel like a kid in a candy shop. This internet marketing thing IS seductive. We’re spoilt for choice, really.
So we need to focus – like a sun beam. We have to avoid all the temptations and counter productive thoughts that will tempt us and take us off track.
Above all you have to focus on what is central to you.
Recently I read a great piece by author Everett Bogue. His article titled The Stunning Truth About Focusing on the Important’ showcases some great points. Here are some quotes from his article.
“Being minimalist trumps all of the little stuff. Minimalists don’t have to figure out how to do more stuff quickly, because they have no interest in doing more stuff.”
“The average person has lots of things to do every day. This leads to stress pain, anger and frustration, because they can’t possibly get it all done. Then they go shopping to make themselves feel better.”
Wow! He hits the ball out of the park with that one, doesn’t he?
So what is important to you? Have you got it figured yet? Once you have, you can then utilize the Prosperity Law of Vacuum and demolish all distractions. Simplify your life and focus 100% on your business. Watch it zoom!
Grow Small Business “Bailout” Workshop Helps Small Business Owners Use the Legal System for Pennies
The nationwide small business consultant company, Grow Small Business, held its first Small Business workshop last month at the Southfield Westin Hotel.
The workshop’s theme, Small Business “Bailout,” attracted attendees from all parts of the tri-county region. The audience of small business owners and entrepreneurs was delighted and encouraged to learn that there are legal and financial resources available to them.
The “Bailout” workshop planners, Dennis Nazelli and Emily Holt, arranged for experts in the fields of legal and financial affairs. The Program Manager for Women’s Business Center, Kathi Boyle, represented the Center for Empowerment & Economic Development (CEED). Director Earl Carruthers represented his company, Graceful Financial Solutions; and, Business Loan Officer, Derek Thornton, spoke on behalf of CharterOne Bank, the largest lender of business loans in the state of Michigan.
Emily Holt, a successful owner of her own insurance agency for 20 years, used all of her time slot to explain the many benefits of the Pre-Paid Legal Services program that protects entire families from law suits, IRS issues, Identity Theft restoration services, writing a will, contract review, foreclosures, speeding tickets, landlord/tenant issues, owning a small business, and many more issues that would normally cost a fortune if handled by an attorney from the “yellow pages.” Ms. Holt received a resounding applause when she announced that the Pre-Paid Legal membership program only cost $1.17 a day.
The second presentation of legal resources was given by Dennis Nazelli and it centered on the explanation of the business legal plans offered by GoSmallBiz.com. Mr. Nazelli illuminated the unique and reasonably-priced coverage of the GoSmallBiz.com plan. It covers legal and business consultation, legal and business correspondence, legal forms, debt collection, IRS tax issues representation, contract and document review, trial defense representation, internet marketing, construction of your business website to name just the plan’s major elements.
The incredulous audience was amazed to learn that their cost for these two resources combined for under $2.00 a day. Nazelli reminded the audience that together these two legal plans will protect you, your family and your business.
