We’ve made it through February. Time to check up on those New Year’s Resolutions you reluctantly made. Most people have long ago lost that piece of paper.
I go to a fitness club. I have for over 20 years. So I know this little graph to the right to be absolutely true.

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 [...]

I am SO tired of hype. I was nearly pushed over the edge the other day when four marketers in the “how to succeed in internet marketing” niche sent me emails claiming I could make thousands of dollars a week if I was simply able to type. All I had to do was fill in [...]

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 [...]

I love connecting with other people who are like me. As I moved my work at home career online, I was excited about how easy it appeared to be to connect with other moms who also had an online business. I went to places like mybloglog.com hoping to connect with other moms. I [...]

“The first requisite of success is the ability to apply your physical and mental energies to one problem without growing weary.” – Thomas Edison.

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.
