So You're Thinking About Starting A Home Business

We talk to people every day who contact us because they're thinking about starting a home business. Some are actively seeking an opportunity that resonates with them. Others admit they have been looking at different businesses for years. Why don't they just watch a movie or play a game for heaven's sake? Starting a business, even a franchise-type home business with a system in place for earning profits, is serious. It's certainly not for the timid, fearful, or reluctant!

With the profits we earn, we don't require a lot of sales to make a sizable income. Our profits of $1,000, $5,000, and $8,000 per sale can add up quickly to a multiple 6 or 7 figure income. This is important to someone seeking to replace an executive level income with a relatively small amount of cash up-front. These numbers seem unbelievable to someone who's always worked for someone else to earn $35,000 per year. I don't have the time for these folks because they lack vision, desire, heart and purpose.

The top 3% who know who they are and what it takes to achieve their goals are the people I can assist. It is such a blessing to have a vehicle to change lives, both financially and with our stellar personal development products. It is so simple as long as you know it's possible and are willing to take action. Just sitting around wishing for a successful home business won't make it happen. Visualizing success and then taking the steps required to achieve the success will make it happen. As Wallace Wattles states repeatedly in the Science of Getting Rich, anyone who does things in "a certain way" will succeed.

I personally take action everyday to be available to assist those who are thinking about starting a home business. I first ask some very direct questions to help both of us determine if this is a serious inquiry worthy of both our attention, or if it is a passing thought. I never want to deny the truly motivated an opportunity to succeed. By the same token, I don't have the time to waste on those who lack the essential mindset. If you are looking to really succeed in a serious and lucrative home business, contact me. If you are happy with the status quo, have a nice day.

To Your Success.

Where's The Light Switch?

Many of us baby boomers grew up to believe that if we got an education, found a good job (one that put us in the middle of the middle class), and were loyal to our boss (showed up and did what was expected), we could live comfortably (scrimp, save, and do without), we could expect to retire at age 65, and continue to live frugally until we are called home (die). Then, somehow, our country's economy starting to unravel. And as with most things that unravel, it started slowly and then got so out of control it seemed impossible to repair the damage. So here we are in early 2009 groping in the dark for answers to questions we never expected to ask. It's as if someone turned out the light and we need help finding the switch.

I am so grateful that I found the switch before the lights went out. Amazingly enough, I realized several years ago that there is no security in a job. And what really irked me, was the realization that we have been misled by the establishment into thinking there was. Now I'm really glad this is true because I realize that I'm not really a victim because I have the power to create my own reality. No one is smarter or more capable of achieving greatness than I am. As a child I believed this but somehow stopped believing it as I got older.

The good news is that since I discovered this great truth, I now have the ability and desire to show others this truth as well. Since I know where the light switch is, I can dispel the darkness for others. I've been reading the Gospel of John for a class I lead at church. John uses the words light and darkness often as metaphors for the truth versus deception. That is how I see all of life. There is truth and there is non-truth. Abundance and possibility are truth. Scarcity and impossibility are non-truths.

For anyone who feels despondent and unsure of the future, my advice is to take a deep breath and relax. There are solutions if we but allow them to manifest for us. Simply reading this message today may spark the answer you seek. After all, once the light switch has been activated, there is no longer darkness.

How To Accelerate Results in This Simple Business

Everyday, Monday through Friday, at 11:00 AM EST, I am blessed to be able to listen to a Wake Up To Success Call. This call is hosted by our company, Liberty League International, and the leader who masterminds the call is usually Tony Rush. Tony is a guy we have known since we became associates here almost 3 years ago. He has mentored, inspired, and encouraged me on many occasions. This week has been no exception.

This week's wake-up topic has been "certainty." This is a word most of us don't think about often. It's especially not one the masses think about because they are on autopilot much of the time and actually think very little. If they (and I used to be one) started thinking, they would realize that their lives are not nearly as fulfilling as they envisioned when they were children. So the first question I started asking myself when I started to think was, "What can I do differently that will take my life to a new level?" I didn't want to leave this earth without having achieved my true purpose.

The answer for me has been to just make up my mind (Andy Andrews says to have a decided heart) and take the action to achieve this purpose. Where to start? First of all, I have to ask myself if achieving my purpose is possible. If I have more doubt than faith, then I can forget it right now. How can I have faith in achieving something I've never achieved before? Look around! Have others achieved it? The fact is, if God has put a desire in my heart, He has also provided a way for me to achieve this desire. So now I seek out the company of those who have achieved goals on a level with the ones I now have. I hang out with them, watch what they do and how they talk, and simply know that my desires have a certain outcome.

This sounds very simple, I know. Tony did a great job of making a graph that depicts the steps to take from unbelief to certainty. After all, if you don't even believe something is going to happen for you, you won't take any action to make it happen. See how important belief is? For example I want a new Volvo V70. I have been looking at them online and in the showroom. I have compared the features of the V70 versus the XC90 and know that the V70 will better serve me. Tomorrow I am going to test drive one and discuss with our friend, Bob, how soon I can be in possession of my new car. This has gone from wishing and hoping to taking the actual steps to to making the desire a reality.

So look at your dreams. Are they dusty? Have you been afraid to even think about them? Are you guilty of using such excuses as "I'm too old,", "I'm too young," "I don't have any education," "This is not a good time because of the economy."? Remember that success in any area begins with belief, which leads to hope, which leads to action. Once you are taking action, know with certainty that your goal is about to be achieved. If you want to know more about how this works, contact me. It's what I do for a living. In my amazingly simple business, I just show others what is possible.

To your success.

Amazingly Simple And Thriving

Everywhere you look in mass media today, there's talk of doom and gloom. I hear even Donald Trump declared we are now in an economic depression. Well, let's create some anti-depressants, for heaven's sake. My first anti-depressant prescription is TURN OFF THE NEWS (Television, radio, newsprint). After all, you create your own reality. This is not denial by any means. Rather it is chooing to be at cause for your results rather feel like a victim.

The second prescription I offer is to look at your assets. These assets can be financial and are often in places you haven't considered. However, we all have other assets too. If you are reading this, you have access to the internet, can read, and know how to use a computer. Chances are you can also talk, listen and converse with people. The most important asset you possess is an imagination and the ability to visualize an outcome. Use these in a positive manner and you are unstoppable. However, if you listen to the mass media and then use your imagination and ability to visualize in a negative manner, you will not want to get out of bed in the morning.

The third and final prescription is to find a company with products you believe in and are passionate about sharing with others. Our personal development products and the community of people we work with inspire me to be the best I can be in life. This is much more fulfilling for me and the world than selling soda pop and candy bars, don't you think? Besides that, it's a lot more lucrative for all of us and cuts out the middle man entirely.

So rather than focus on what others are saying about the economy, let's create a positive and successful environment in which to live and work. It's a whole lot more fun and amazingly simple as always.

To your success,
Sandra Hayes
