by | Uncategorized

Life is full of wonderful surprises, and one of them for me was realizing that I could actually be my on own Boss on day ONE!  Folks, I will tell you that I had that same stigma that society puts on all of us, that you must be “rich” or you must own your own home, or maybe even you must drive a certain car to be your own Boss.  I come here to tell you that is not the truth.  Yes, having all those things are great when you are a business owner. However, it does not define you as a successful person.

Many times what it does say especially when you wake up in the middle of the night “terrified” that you are in over your head in debt.  Now, that does not have to be the case.  You can own all those things, and be debt free of them.  I am here today to tell you that if you want to be your own Boss, and work from home, and own your own business, YOU CAN DO THAT. You can do that with just a working computer.

If someone would have told me 20 years ago, when I first started my own business,  “Annie you can own your own business simply by investing in a computer, or renting one, you just need to put your mind to it, and focus on what will work for you”. I would have said, “there must be a catch”, so I am assuming that you are saying the same thing.  I will lay out a plan for you, I will also show you everything you need to know to get your business up and running, and the cost it will take to get you there.

But First, let’s talk about the number one reason why people are hesitant in moving forward to owning their own home based business.  That Number #1 reason, is our “Fear” of failure.  Now, let me reverse that and tell you the number two reason, is the fear of “success”.  Can you believe that?  Can you believe people have a fear of success?  Well, let me tell you Yes!  And it is common.  It is sometime called, “Fear of Change”. Why is that?  One reason may be that when we change one thing in our lives, automatically other things will change, some without us every realizing it.

One being, we fear that we will lose friendships.  Well, if you do lose a few of our friends, that is a good thing, because you never had them in the first place. People, who will not accept you for your success choices in life, are not true friends.  The reason for our hesitance to owning our own business are all intertwined with many things like the one just mentioned.  I will cover other reasons for our hesitant to owning a home based business in my upcoming blog post, so, stay tuned.  I want to help you live out your dream by facing these challenges one-by-one. So, in each one of my blogs, I will give you some pros and a cons to your resistance to owning your own business.

Well, many people cannot imagine not living from paycheck-to-paycheck, and it frightens them if they woke up one morning and found “plentiful”.  They would not know what to do with that. You have seen it, you have heard it, you have read it in the newspaper about lottery winners overnight riches. For today it’s good for them, tomorrow, it becomes a disaster, it become their enemy.  Why? because people need to learn how to understand what true success is all about, and how to make it work for them.  It starts with making good choices.

So, how do you make good choices? You are making a good choice to “own” something for yourself.  You are making a good choice to want better for yourself, and leave a legacy to your children, you are making good choice when you do what you absolutely love doing.  You are making good choices when you own your own home, and can afford the monthly payments. And lastly, you are making good choices when you decide to live out your dreams, instead of just dreaming about them.  Today is a great day, to make good choices.  I am here to help you begin step number one. I look forward to hearing from you.

How to Celebrate “Joy” starting a Home Based Business

Doing What You Absolutely Love!

girl with green top; sitting at deskI have Learned to Celebrate Everything “Good” in my Life. As an Entrepreneur there are many things that can get you down in the dumps. But you can change that.  Yes, that’s right.  You can choose happiness and fulfillment by starting today, doing what inspires you. Get up from behind that desk, and start living the life you were meant to live by doing what you absolutely love.

Sitting behind a desk, day after day, doing repetitive, monotonous office work can get you down. But you have to be the one that put a stop to it. Start doing what you absolutely love today. Change your scenery.

When I started my online marketing business career back in 2001. I was working a full time job at a Big 10 University. My office had no windows, and it had originally been used for a storage area. So, day after day, I just sat there starring at the 4 corners of the wall, trying to stay motivated while doing my daily work, seeing no sunshine day after day, and no people outside enjoying the beautiful weather did get me down.

So, one day, with no previous planning, I got up, out of my chair and walked to the Employment Office within the building and requested a date for my termination.  I made up my mind that day, that I wanted to do what inspired me, what gave me purpose, what was my passion. I was lead to doing community outreach. I had been involved in sponsoring Spelling Bee’s in the community for more than 25 years. I saw the joy that came from those little children, just learning how to “spell” one word.  I think I got more excitement out of it than they did. The parents were literally crying when they saw their child succeed in spelling just one work.  How inspiring, I thought! Yes, this was me. This was my passion. Working with people in the community.

As a mother of 5 daughters, that struggled with their identity, and dealing with many issues during their teen years. I knew that this would be an area of great need and compassion. In trying to find my passion to make the world a better place, it did not take me long to define my niche. It was starring me in the face, and I could not deny it anymore.

So, I started my first home based business career around the needs of my teen daughters, and the many daughters of moms and dads throughout my state. Each one of my daughters were involved in the planning and creating process of the business in assisting other girls in finding their identity, and learn to love themselves in the process.  This method of teaching and learning is a double edged sword that allowed my daughters to find themselves in the process of helping others, and they loved it.

Each one of us have a passion. A passion that drives us to do what we do, and a desire to make the world a better place to live in. When defining your life passion, it is important to search for that deep inner desire that lives inside you and won’t go away.  Begin seeking your true self. Not what someone else told you, but your longing for it.  It is there, and all you need to do, is have that desire to discover what it is. Begin by asking yourself, how do I feel about what I am doing?  Am I motivated? Am I confident in my own abilities? How does it make me feel? Does it bring me joy?  Does it give me a peace? Am I fulfilled when I am doing it? Does it have a purpose?  Am I inspired to stick with it even when I don’t want to?  If you answered “yes” to any of those questions, you are most likely on the right track to finding you passion for life and career..

Empowering, Motivating and Inspiring others to find their passion for life is what I am all about.  Having my own online marketing business have helped me reach men and women around the world.  I encourage you to partner with me in following your heart and going after your passion and dreams in starting your own home based business career.  I am here to get you on the right track to finding your “Joy” in celebrating your own home based business.

How to Discover your Passion and Purpose

How to Discover your Passion and Purpose

by | Keys to Defining Your Life Path, Purpose Driven Life, Uncategorized

Discovering your Passion and Purpose may be easier than you think. You can’t create it, because it is what you were created to do. Let’s go back to your birth.  When you were born, your parents were open to anything and everything that came your way. You immediately began seeking to find the things in your life that was of special interest to you.  If they gave you something that you did not like, you threw it down immediately.  You could not speak, but you let them know, I don’t like that.  And in your own way of communicating, you said to them, give me something else.  Some things you gravitated to, and other things you did not, you had no interest in them. We began discovering our passion from day #1.  Mom and Dad don’t know it, and you don’t either.  As we continue to mature, we begin to find those comfort levels that says “I am here”. By the time we set , and begin to enjoy them as we choose our life careers. Everyone born has a purpose, so if you find people that tell you they have no purpose, it is because they have not sought to find it.

Many people today make it their mission to go out into the world and seek value and purpose in their lives. The problem is, most of them do not know where to start. Not knowing what your purpose is, can sometime be frustrating, but as you evaluate your gifts and talents and the things that motivates you, you are going in the right direction. Some people find their purpose early in life, and other a bit later.  Whenever it happens, there are a few things you can do to know.

Have you ever looked at an object, and wondered what it was, what it does, or why someone would want it?  Well, every thing created has some kind of purpose or value. This helps us stay focused in finding our true purpose.

The first thing you should do to find your purpose is to develop a relationship with God. Why? Because He created you. Get to know Him and He will give you direction and guidance for your life.  Learn how to talk to God through prayer.  Don’t be shy, just ask Him what His plans are for your life, and believe it when I tell you, that He will reveal it to you if you are listening.

You must be patient, and still to hear Him talk to you.  So, when you are talking to Him, turn off any noise, and avoid distractions. One thing can have more value than the other, but it has a purpose for why it was created.  Nothing creates itself, not even the world you live in, although it was created before you were born. When people realize that they have purpose in life, they are more motivated to stand up and make a difference. Your purpose gives you hope, joy and love for others.  Everyone’s purpose is different, so there is no need to be jealous of someone else’s. Your purpose will influence your behavior, personality and relationships.

What does the Word “Celebrate” mean anyway?  Well, today it can mean almost anything.  In my household growing up, we celebrated the big and the little things such as: 1) Loosing 5 lbs on a diet plan; 2) Passing a test, or making a good grade; 3) We even celebrated every Friday of the week that we arrived at work on time.

The Dictionary defines “Celebrate” as: to do something special or enjoyable for an important event, occasion, holiday, etc. So, you see you can celebrate an occasion anytime you want to, and surely you can do it alone.  I run into so many people today that shares with me on their birthday, they did nothing, because they did not have anyone to do it with.  Well, I come to tell you, and share with you, that those days are all behind you.  Get ready to celebrate that upcoming birthday, or any occasion in 2020! Remember, it should be enjoyable and special.

Enjoy the Music – Turn on and up the music. Relax, and imagine that all these sounds are a wonderful symphony playing just for you, and you have front row seating. Listen mindfully, and enjoy every beat.

Movie Night! – Find the most thrilling and captivating Movie out there, one with a roller-coaster thriller, and pretend that you are actually in the Movie.  Imagine that you are the main character, and you make the rules.  Visualize that you are making the decision that the main character is making.  Ask yourself, how would this decision affect my life?

Decide to be Happy – This is a special moment in time.  It is a new year of celebrating your birthday.  Take a few moments to reminisce about past birthdays, and focus on one of your best birthdays.  Where were you? how did you celebrate? who did you celebrate with?  Were you alone? What did you do?  What age did you turn then? Think about all the funny times, and laugh and smile about them.

Open the Picture Album – Look at all the special people in your life that you have had an opportunity to be part of their lives.  Express thanks for those special times, and look forward to the many more people you will meet and add to the photo album or pictures in your phone gallery.  Think about one thing you would like to change about yourself, and go for it.

Lastly, now open the Karaoke Machine – Begin singing your most favorite songs, and you can celebrate your special day all night.  After all, it’s your day and you can do what you want to do.  Whatever that might be……Have fun!

Tomorrow, share with all your friends how you celebrated your special day.

What your Husband will Never tell you!

Your Husband will Never Tell you…

Ladies, our husbands will never tell us that we are beginning to age. He is the one who look at us in the face, yet, he will never say, “Honey, where are  those wrinkles and lines coming from?”.  This is hard for us ladies, because it is so easy to keep doing what we are doing and never truly look at ourselves in the mirror, and ask ourselves can I do better with my skin? We all can do better with just a little bit care and attention to our skin.  I want to share with you my story.

Balancing work and family life can be challenging. It is so easy to overlook the most important aspect of aging, and that is “taking care of ourselves”. We are such caretakers for others, and in many cases, will neglect ourselves in the process.  I woke up and looked in the mirror and did not recognize my friend that was living along side me. The sad thing was when I looked in the mirror, I did not recognize me, but someone that looked like me, but was much older. This was a widening experience. It was from years of not properly caring and feeding my skin what it needed.

It is Okay, don’t panic, it is never too late to start a new skincare regimen, and it can start as early as today. Sadly, and truthfully our children won’t tell us either.
