Amazon Author Page: https://amazon.com/author/lillianbrummet What it takes to be self-employed  Starting a self-employed, home-based business can be very stressful – there’s a lot to do and pressures are running high, while you watch the budget trickle away. Unfortunately a lot of folks rush into their dream of running a business and find out in one big awful moment that there is a lot more to it than skipping off to your dream. Initially, the goal should be getting known, building that name recognition, developing a super strong platform and getting a reputation. How one goes about this varies with the genre, personality, budget and location. Marketing plans have to evolve with changing situations and owners will find themselves experimenting with all kinds of new opportunities, testing them to see if they will work out. Business plans need to be flexible and have contingencies in place for everything from injuries and illness to death or building failures (floods, etc.). My first...

Write Powerful Resource and Signature Lines * Today's article was written by: Jan Verhoeff, who invites our readers to  visit her at: http://janverhoeff.com and learn how to generate more traffic.   Guest blogging can be a made for the web SEO advertisement for who you are, what you do, and where to connect with you, if you do it right. Or it can be nothing more than content the other blogger can use to draw traffic to his website. Either way, if you're doing what you can to create powerful, enthusiastic, and valuable content, the reader benefits. Guest blogging on someone else's blog can benefit you greatly, but it can also be a huge benefit for the person who sponsors your post. And it really should be both, but always a blessing to the reader. Add Value - ALWAYS. Your resource box should include specific connection information, so your readers can contact you. But first a question, so they have a reason. Do you need more information? Or some likeness to that questi...

The influence of psychology in marketing * Today's article was written by Jonathan Cohn When it comes to marketing success, you can't get anywhere at all if you don't develop a relationship with the other person and, over time, build trust, credibility, and a perception that you are the expert in your field over time. Without the relationship, there is nowhere to go. It is important to understand here that psychology plays a significant role in your ability to succeed. When you first meet a person (in a professional context), you begin to connect with that person on an emotional/human level. With a lot of effort and a little bit of luck, you will eventually share a relationship with the other person that is satisfying and mutually beneficial. Those qualities as well as the others that were previously mentioned here are the makings of a solid, meaningful relationship. Of course, before you can actually connect with anyone in any sort of meaningful way, you need...

-- Journey to Health, final portion --   So, as you can see from the previous posts I did a series of small articles listing activities that are commonly recommended by experts to those that are struggling with challenges in life, you know - those moments when we are feeling a bit "lost in the dark", feeling our way "like a blind man". If you are at all like me, I tend to bottle up what I am feeling. I disintegrate it, put it back together, disintegrate it again... for weeks, months, years. Sometimes having a good friend to just spill it out to can help you sort out the confusing feelings, determine what it is you are really looking at and what it means and what it definitely doesn't mean. Then you might also get some helpful advice as to what to do about it, or through simply talking about it you discover the words to explain what you are feeling. Sometimes it is hard to chain a bunch of words in the right way, especially if you are confused about what...

-- Journey to Health, Part 5 --  Getting involved is my opening topic today - whether it is through online posts, and communications online, notes on bulletin boards, volunteering, recycling, donating or just cleaning litter from around your own neighbourhood. Whatever it is, do it regularly. I find that going online to places like Facebook quite rewarding because it gives me the opportunity to share posts that inspire conscious thought, encourage positive actions and thought. It gives me a valuable opportunity to share posts that support charitable organizations, worthy causes, or conscious-living activities. I get to celebrate conscious living projects, green businesses, and share recommended resources. I refuse to respond to negativity online; I do not submit negative comments or posts, and I delete "friends" or "hide" their posts so that I see fewer negative and more positive over time. Getting involved in even the smallest of ways can real...

-- Journey to Health, Part 4 --  Start writing down the things that go round and round in your mind – this needs to be done, don’t forget to do this or that… and in doing so the next time the mind decides to play that record you can remind it that the item is already on the list and you’ll deal with it at the appropriate time, you don’t have to keep thinking about it anymore because you don’t need the reminder… you have the list(s). … and actually do each thing on the list according to what is most important to get done at the moment. Dig deep and look at how you’d feel if you were told you were going to die – what would you regret, what do you wish you had done, what kind of impact have you had in your life that would have you holding your head high if you were to meet your ancestors, etc.   Take a look at that list of items and decide what you would like to do about it. Remind yourself that each moment is an opportunity for conscious ...
