“It doesn’t matter where you’re at today.
It doesn’t matter where you’ve been.
It only matters where you want to go.”
-Dan Kuschell

So where will you be going in 2012?

Is prosperity in your line of sight?

If you’re looking for some great inspiration
and a different approach to setting goals
and creating prosperity in your life then
I highly recommend reading

“A Champion in the Making: Awaken the Champion
Within Your Life, Business and Relationships”
by Dan Kuschell.

It’s so inspiring yet down to earth…

In his book, Dan takes you through a
different way of looking at things.

And he engages your thought process by asking
simple questions and providing basic activities
to help understand the concepts.

This is just one of those books that you keep
close at hand and refer to time and time again.

I personally keep a copy at my desk and refer to it often
to help me get clear and to stay focused.

So if you’re ready to start off the new year
with a fresh perspective and bring some
prosperity into your life then take a moment now
to get your own inspirational copy…

“If you knew you could not fail, what would you create or do?”

Success and Responsibility

“You are responsible for your life. You can’t keep
blaming somebody else for your dysfunction. Life is
really about moving on.”
- Oprah Winfrey

Have you ever felt like you were a participant in
your life instead of being the leader in your life?

I sure have and I think in times such as these with
our current economic issues it’s even more difficult
to feel like you have any control. And it becomes
easier to put the blame on someone else.

But deep down inside I think we already know we are
the leaders of our own lives and that our success
lies in our own hands. It just helps to have this
reminder from time to time.

I think Les Brown sums it up best:

“Accept responsibility for your life. Know that it is you
who will get you where you want to go, no one else.”

To Your Success,
Donna

Challenges of Working From Home

There are many benefits to having your
own business and working from home -
no commute, can set your own hours,
be your own boss, etc.

But along with the benefits also comes
some challenges for those of us who work
from home. Being aware of these challenges
helps overcome obstacles that can hinder
our success. Below are three common
challenges and ways to overcome them.

Staying motivated – You are your own boss
and there is no one else to give directions
or to guide your activities. It’s up to you
to get things done.

Being clear on why you want your own
business can help motivate you during
those times when things aren’t going
as well as you would like. Another helpful
way is to set goals to keep focused and
on track.

Managing your time – There will be times
when other people will expect your
attention or your participation in various
activities simply because you are at home.
You are readily accessible and appear to
be available for other activities.

Setting your business hours and making others
aware of your hours should help alleviate
conflicts with your time schedules. Be firm
with your hours and remind others you are
not available at certain times.

Making decisions – You set your own goals
and plans to achieve them. You are the one
who must make decisions in many areas of
your business from time management to
defining your budget.

Establishing goals and setting priorities
will help with making business decisions.
Be clear on what you want to achieve and
have plans in place to help guide you.

Just being aware of potential challenges of
working from home can be beneficial. And having
some ideas on how to to overcome obstacles
helps us be more successful in business.

To Your Home Business Success,
Donna

On The Road To Success

“Develop success from failures.
Discouragement and failure are two of
the surest stepping stones to success.”
-Dale Carnegie

It’s good to have a reminder that as we
move along our journey to success there
will be discouragements and failures.

A technique I find useful when evaluating
situations in business is to ask questions
such as what worked well and what didn’t, or
simply asking what I can learn from this.

Taking a different perspective of failure
and learning from it helps us grow and
move forward with a new awareness.

As Henry Ford stated:

“Failure is only the opportunity to begin again,
only this time more wisely.”

Many times when going through a frustrating
period it’s hard to see beyond it. But if we
remain true to our purpose for being in
business we’ll get through it just fine.

Remember that failures are simply bumps
along the way as we travel forward on the
road to success.

To Your Continued Success,
Donna

“When your desires are strong enough,
you will appear to possess superhuman
powers to achieve”.
-Napoleon Hill

If someone would’ve told me two months
ago that I would be able to put my home
on the market, get a contract in less than
than two weeks and close 23 days later
I would’ve said – that would be nice but
it’s not realistic, especially in today’s
market!

Well as it turns out – not so unrealistic
after all…

I’m chatting with you today from a
transitional location because the events
above actually happened to us and wow…
what a journey it’s been!

Needless to say, we were grateful for the
quick sale, but not as prepared for the
fast results and having to move and relocate
after being in our home for almost 16 years.

For the most part we moved ourselves -
what a nightmare! (won’t do that again!)

But we met our goal to sell – and with
the help and support of our loving family
and friends, and our exceptional realtor
we were able to meet each challenge in the
process and succeed in our goal.

For anyone wanting to buy or sell real estate
in the Maryland USA area, I highly recommend
the services of our agent, Ann Pell, who
eased our stress and made the entire process
seamless. Ann has a unique approach and
genuine desire to help others reach their
goals. Find out more about her services here.

I’ve missed talking with you on a regular
basis and I appreciate your patience during
our time of transition.

Things are starting to slow down with the
move and I wanted to let you know that more
information and resources are headed your
way to help you reach your goals.

Stay focused on your dreams and remember…
if you have a strong enough desire
anything’s possible!  

To Your Continued Success,
Donna

Time Management Is Essential For Home Business

“Until we can manage TIME,
we can manage nothing else.”
-Peter F. Drucker

Time can be a funny thing for home
business ownership. It’s easy to think
we will have more time because we don’t
have a long commute to work or that we
have so much flexibility we’ll be able to
get more done.

And those are great advantages to working
from home. The disadvantages come into
play when it becomes too comfortable to
put things off, knowing we’ll get to them
later – because we THINK we have more time.

In reality though the time we have each
day is the same amount of time each day-
it’s really how we manage our time that
makes all the difference.

I think just being aware of this fact is
key for managing your time. Here are a
few things to keep in mind to help manage
your time and home business activities.

Setting specific and measureable goals
can help you stay on track. You are your
own boss and as such you are accountable
to yourself in what gets done each day.

Having set business hours can help establish
focused time for business activities. It
also provides a framework to help family and
friends understand when you are and are not
available for other activities.

Taking a serious approach to home business
success sets the standard for work activities
and how they are accomplished. How you think
of your own business will be a reflection in
how others perceive your business.

Just being aware of how precious time really
is can guide us towards home business success.
And remember that each small step taken every
day can get us closer to our goals.

“Time is more valuable than money. You can
get more money, but you cannot get more time.”
-Jim Rohn

Choose Success

“You are responsible for your life. You can’t keep
blaming somebody else for your dysfunction. Life is
really about moving on.”
- Oprah Winfrey

There are many thoughts on success and
what it really takes to be successful.

Maybe you’ve heard it takes mindset,
focus, discipline, persistence, problem
solving or a variety of other traits or
skills.

And while these are all very important, I
think it’s just as important to WANT to succeed –
in other words, to accept responsibility for
our own success and to choose success.
Les Brown says it best:

“Accept responsibility for your life. Know that it is you
who will get you where you want to go, no one else.”

I think it can be difficult at times to remember that
we do have control over our own life and our success,
especially in times such as these with the current
ecomonic issues worldwide.

Responsibility for our own success lies in our own hands.

“All you have to decide is what to do with the time
that is given to you.”
- J. R. R. Tolkien

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3 Tips for Online Home Business Success

People enter into their online home business
with a dream to succeed, but the majority
fail to achieve the success they deserve.

Have you ever wondered why?

The main reason is that they simply take
things as they come and are not keen on putting
in the extra effort.

You will find a lot of marketing plans that
claim success in a short time. But the reality
is there is no short cut to achieve success.
Like any other job you have to be dedicated
and give all your spare time to create a
successful online home business.

To make things a little easier for you to
achieve success, I have listed 3 tips below.  

A big reason for many online home business
failures it there is no set time or schedule
to do the work activities. If you want your
business to flourish you must set time for
getting your business work done. A successful
online home business requires a lot of hard
work and motivation. You will need to put in
the extra hours of work.    

Every business begins with a definite plan.
A plan is a complete sketch of how will you
approach the business, your long term goals
and immediate goals. The plan should also
include an outline about the products. It is
important to have good knowledge about your
products because you will be marketing them.

Be passionate about the work you are doing.
Find a business area that you are excited about
and that interests you. Remember, building an
online home business requires a lot of work.
But if you see it as ‘only work’, the business
will suffer and you may lose interest and work
less. But if you are passionate about your
business, your passion will drive you stronger
towards your goal. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Focus Thoughts & Forward Momentum

“When you face your fear, most of the time
you will discover that it was not really such
a big threat after all. We all need some form
of deeply rooted, powerful motivation — it
empowers us to overcome obstacles so we can
live our dreams.”
-Les Brown

Do you have fears about your business?

If so, take some time this week and think about
what is holding you back from moving your
business forward. Then take action to overcome
your fears.
