How to Become an “Overnight” Success

Have you ever noticed entrepreneurs who appear to become successful “overnight”? It’s a bit of a mystery, isn’t it; one day nobody knows who they are and the next day everyone’s talking about them. This is an interesting phenomenon that happens with entrepreneurs, but I assure you… the success rarely happens “overnight.” Granted, there may be an extremely small percentage of true overnight successes; but for most entrepreneurs it’s taken years to reach that level of achievement. How do I know? Because it’s been my personal journey.

What I want to share with you today, are the three key strategies that helped me get to this level of success in my business. For those of you who know me, or who have been following me for several years, these will sound familiar to you… but for those of you who are new to my teaching, my story and my business, get ready for an inside peek at what it really takes to become an “overnight” success.

1) Faith

Faith has been the single most important factor in my success. Now, you may be asking what I’m talking about when I refer to faith. First, let me say that, to me, faith has nothing to do with religion. My personal experience of faith is having the unwavering belief there is something much larger than myself that is helping me expand, grow, evolve and transform through every step of my journey… through the challenging times and the joyous times. Faith is your convincing belief of the greatness that lies within you. It’s knowing that (as Marianne Williamson says) you were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone.

2) Commitment (more…)

Looking Online in an Economic Crisis

We are living in very unique times. We are moving through uncharted waters. All around us we are hearing of the growing economic crisis.

The US has been experiencing an ongoing real estate downturn for many months now. This was fueled by the problems of subprime loans which were defaulting by the thousands. Banks that held these loans began to suffer.

At first it seemed isolated, but with the downfall of the world’s 3rd biggest investment bank, Lehman Brothers, and the United States biggest savings bank, Washington Mutual, the crisis has spread all over the world. Talk quickly turned to a “goverment bailout” in the US.

The first European financial crisis victim was German Hypo Real Estate with a 35,000,000,000 EUR ($46,589,000,000) debt. The urgent German goverment financial help for saving Hypo Real Estate was finally approved by European Commission.

With many companies feeling the crunch the next step is downsizing and layoffs. The car industry, for instance, is already announcing cut backs in car production. Unemployment will rise and many will be without work. When and where will it all end? Will things continue to get worse and worse? (more…)

Do What You Love and Get Paid for It!

Sometimes a Spy gets Spied!!! Spy shot of me & my bazooka lens *Lol

According to a recent Harris poll, 72% of American households are thinking about starting a home-based business. So you can see, you are not alone in your interest to earn some extra money from home.

More and more people are dropping out of the rat race to provide services and/or goods from home. The best thing is you can start part-time and build until you can drop the “day job” if that is your goal.

For many, working from home is the best choice, for example the stay-at-home spouse, or those who are retired. For others, working from home may be the only option and working from home has even proven to be an excellent (if unexpected) opportunity for hundreds of thousands of people caught up in corporate downsizing.

The trick to finding a good work from home job is figuring out how to do something you love to do and do it in a way you can get paid for it.

One great way is to Turn Your Knowledge Into Revenue.

Become an “information entrepreneur”; An “infopreneur.” Basically… monetize what you know.

The good news is that there has never been a better time to start a business from home.

The proliferation of the Internet makes starting a business a low-cost and therefore low-risk route. It has high potential due to the fact that the Internet doesn’t mind working 24/7 and 365 days a year. It also can reach out across a street, a city, a country. The internet allows you to reach people anywhere in the world.

Forget the long string of “classic work-at-home” dead-end jobs (ex., envelope-stuffing and telemarketing). Use the Web to build something terrific that excites you, a business to be proud of, that you own, and that earns you an actual income.

The bad news, if there is any, is that building a real business, no matter what kind, requires work. Be cautious of the many “get rich quick” schemes and the offers of great rewards for no or low work is probably a fraud. (more…)

Discover Your True Passion

High fashion

One key component to the ability to find success is to find your passion and pursue it. But what does that mean to find your passion, and how do you go about finding it? Another way to say it is, “What do you love most in life?” What brings you the most fulfillment? What would you do if you had all the money in the world, you were done splurging and traveling abroad and you could just spend your time doing what you want to do? Most of us already know the answer to that. But for some of us, there is a mental block that keeps us from truly realizing it. That mental block can come from a number of different sources. Regardless of the source, the result is that you are not able to fully recognize what your passion truly is.

There are a number of reasons you may have trouble realizing what your true passion is. One is pressure from family members or others you respect and admire to pursue an expected vocation or profession. Usually, the vocation or profession is high paying, has a high social status or is a long-standing tradition in the family. They may have the best of intentions, even playing match-maker with you and a career that seems to be a good fit… to them. In this case, your inability to realize your true passion can stem from not wanting to disappoint people you admire or care about. Your desire to make them proud may stifle any desire you may have to do something else.

Another reason your passion may be difficult to recognize is that you may feel trapped in whatever situation you currently are in. To you, the doors for other opportunities are closed. You may even feel trapped by your own lack of confidence in your ability to make your dream a reality. “If there is no expectation, there is no disappointment,” you rationalize. Or, you may not see a way to make it happen financially. This is especially true if you would need to pay for education or training. You may also think that you are too busy, too young, too old, or that it is too late. You do not allow yourself to entertain the possibility of attaining your dream because you do not want to desire something you think you cannot have. (more…)

How To Get the Best Start in Business

There are literally millions of websites out there promising to tell you all about how to start your own home based business, with a “cannot fail” blueprint for success.  And many of them are completely legitimate - but there is one secret ingredient that you need to have in place if you are going to get the best start in business for yourself…

If you’ve been researching online businesses for a while, you are probably thinking that the answer is to find your niche - but you would be wrong.  Nor is it anything to do with the “right” system or the “right” advertising or having the ultimate website design.  All of these things are important, but there is one thing that is over riding important - one thing that can and will totally determine how your business will turn out.

In fact, this element is something that has determined the very course of your life so far - and it will determine the course of the rest of your life as well.  Whether you know about it or note, and whether you are in control of it or not, this will control your life more than anything else.  It can open doors for you, or it can slam them shut in your face.  It can put you in the right place at the right time, or make sure you are never anywhere worthwhile at anytime!

What is really incredible about this power is that you have it within you - and all you have to do is to turn it on to start receiving all the things you want immediately! (more…)
