I hear from a lot of the marketing gurus that success is 90% mindset, at least. The other 10% then, is method.
I used to believe it. Because, after all, shouldn’t those running successful businesses and making millions of dollars know what it takes?
But as I struggled, my experience made me doubt the accuracy of this [...]

Have you ever visited a jail? A Division of Family Services office? Unemployment office? Hopefully “no” to all of the above.
But more likely, a hospital? Or a Department of Revenue office? (Where you’ve just been lucky enough to pull number “99″ and look up to see that they are now serving number “36.”)
What do all [...]

You probably know that if you write down your goals you are 1000 times more likely to reach them than if you don’t. This makes sense to me. I imagine that most people who have no written goals have no identifiable goals at all. Which makes it decidedly harder to meet any goals.
I can’t [...]

My 5-year-old was balancing on one foot on the edge of the bed frame last night. She fell off and immediately said, “watch, I’ll do it better next time.” (And she did).
Being the ever-conscious parent that I am, I tried to seize the moment for a “life lesson.” I told her that she was right, [...]

I missed my favorite class at the gym last week because I had a meeting. When I returned to class this week, people asked me where I’d gone and assumed I’d been on vacation. Unfortunately, it was far from vacation, but it was clear why they’d made this assumption. I never miss class, and I [...]

Most of us resist change, consciously or not. We are comfortable in the predictability of our routine, even as we realize our lives are far from the “perfect” we imagine.
This “comfort zone” that we float through life in is seriously challenged by our desire for the time and financial freedom a successful home business [...]

Remember when you first started your work from home journey? You were likely attracted by the promise that making money online was easy. And the pictures of the house you could buy, the cars you could drive, and the vacations you could take just a few months into your work from home business.
Unfortunately, it hasn’t [...]

I love the Napolean Hill quote, “What the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.” Sounds easy. Yet one of the biggest reasons people can’t change their lives is simply that they don’t believe they can.
I got an email from an internet marketer the other day promoting a training for people [...]

My first inclination is to say that the number one reason people don’t succeed in working at home is that they just don’t have time to build a successful business. But really, this isn’t the reason people don’t succeed, it’s the excuse people have when they give up.
Time was always my number one excuse as [...]

I confess that I had so much to do and so much fun over the holiday weekend that I just got to reading my emails from the weekend. And naturally, every internet marketer whose list I’m on had an Independence Day email for me.
Most of them had the typical “find your financial [...]
