Something to Think About by Jan Tincher

If you visualize success as the outcome, what do you think will happen?
 

Success? It's inevitable, right? Well, kind of. That is, unless you had negative thoughts before and after the visualization -- which many people do.

If that happens, the minute the negative thought comes in, replace it with this: *I now release the pattern in my consciousness that is creating resistance to my good.*

Pretty soon you won't be having the negative thought anymore. You can then bask in your success. In fact, I recommend it.

The more you *bask,* the better you feel about the situation. The better you feel about the situation, the better you will handle it.

Good luck! (Or should I say, Good Basking!)

Food for Thought

Is Full-Time Income With Part-Time Work Possible?

Recently a guy posted an ad on a marketing discussion board.Usually the moderator of the board is supposed to delete ads. But this guy's ad posed an interesting question. He told readers he had a business opportunity that would earn you full-time income for part-time work. "Just a few hours a week and you can be earning more than you are in your current job," he wrote.Is this really possible? It may be, but like most good things in life, earning a lot of money without working much is a lot harder than it looks.

I find once you get your business rolling, you really can earn a good income while doing your core work just a few hours a day. If you design web sites, or prepare taxes, or build custom furniture, the actual time you're doing the service or building the product may account for a solid income and only take a few hours each day. However, there is a world of customer service, promotion,and just plain putting out fires that always seems to take up another 12 hours a day.

As your business grows and becomes more successful (allow yourself a few years to accomplish this) you can gradually farm your time-consuming duties out to others. Outsource email answering, customer service, and promotion to people who specialize in it. There is a growing army of virtual workers who can take care of just about any office task via the Internet quickly and cheaply (check your favorite search engine).

In Agreement
-=-=--=-=-=-=-=

 As the lone female in our house, I find that certain male habits have really begun to get on my nerves. One day, I emerged from the bathroom completely exasperated when I bumped into my husband.

"What is it with guys that they won't replace the toilet paper?!" I raged.

"I know," he said, nodding in agreement. "I noticed that when I was in there earlier."

Young Chuck moved to Texas and bought a Donkey from a farmer for $100.

 The farmer agreed to deliver the Donkey the next day.

 The next day he drove up and said, 'Sorry son, but I have some bad  News,  the donkey died.' Chuck replied, 'Well, then just give me  my money back.'  The farmer said, 'Can't do that. I went and spent it already.'

 Chuck said, 'Ok, then, just bring me the dead donkey.' The farmer  asked,  'What ya gonna do with him? Chuck said, 'I'm going to raffle  him off.'

 The farmer said You can't raffle off a dead donkey!' Chuck said, 'Sure  I  can Watch me. I just won't tell anybody he's dead.'

 A month later, the farmer met up with Chuck and asked, 'What  happened with that dead donkey?'

 Chuck said, 'I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars  apiece and made a profit of $998. Less the $100 I gave you'...The  farmer said,   'Didn't anyone complain?'

 Chuck said, 'Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two dollars back.'

 Chuck is now working for AIG

There was a job opening in the country's most prestigious law firm and it finally comes down to Robert and Paul. Both graduated top of the class from law school. Both come from good families. Both are equally attractive and well spoken. It's up to the senior partner to choose one, so he takes each aside and asks, "Why did you become a lawyer?"

In seconds, he chooses Paul.

Baffled, Robert takes Paul aside. "I don't understand why I was rejected. When Mr. Armstrong asked me why I became a lawyer, I said that I had the greatest respect for the law, that I'd lay down my life for the Constitution and that all I wanted was to do right by my clients. What in the world did you tell him?"

"I said I became a lawyer because of my hands," Paul replies.

"Your hands? What do you mean?"

"Well, I took a look one day, and there wasn't any money in either of them!"

Reverend Jesse Jackson walked into the appliance section of a Sears store, looked around, then shouted, "I want to see the manager right now!" The manager of the department came out and said, "how can I help you, reverend?"

Jesse replied, "I want to know why all of your washing machines are white?" The manager immediately flipped open all the lids of the washing machines and said, "reverend Jackson, yes, all of the washing machines are white, but if you look inside, you'll find that all of the agitators are black."

The Dollar Stretcher

Finding a Work-at-Home Job

Please discuss the ins and outs of working at home and how to find a legitimate company to work for that requires no start up cost.
Donna

-----

Donna asks a good question. According to the American FactFinder, 5 million Americans work at home. That's about 3% of all workers. And the trend is for more people to join the at-home workforce.

We'll begin by looking at some steps that Donna should take in looking for any job. Then we'll discuss some things that are unique to finding an at-home job. And, finally, we'll discuss some traps and scams to avoid.

An important step in any job hunt is a self-evaluation. What job skills do you have? What types of work do you like to do? Are there tasks that you very much dislike?

After you know yourself, you can determine which jobs best match your skills and interests. Then figure out where those jobs can be found. A good starting place is the classified ads. Both in Donna's local paper and online.

Many job applicants skip an important step. They don't research the potential employer. An online search or visit to the library will provide some good background information about the company. Not only will Donna know enough to ask good questions during an interview, but she'll also be better able to decide whether it's the kind of company she'd like as an employer.

OK, now that we've looked at some general job hunting tips, let's get specific about at-home jobs.

The first thing is to recognize that not everyone is meant to work at home. It takes discipline, motivation and skills that translate to an at-home environment.

There are a number of websites dedicated to at-home workers. The Independent Homeworkers Alliance at www.homeworkers.org provides work-at-home job listings. You can try a free trial membership before joining on a paid basis. Avoid expensive membership dues or fees. You do not need to join anything to be successful in your job hunt.

Networking is especially valuable when you want to work at home. Friends will know about employers who might be looking for additional help. They can also find out whether the employer would hire at-home workers.

Just like a typical job search, try to think of companies that could use the skills that you have, only this time using them at home. Donna's best bet might be to call or visit companies that could use her skills with a resume in hand.

She may find that the potential employer has not tried work-at-home employees before. Information explaining how they can reduce company overhead costs would be helpful.

Once Donna has an offer, she'll need to decide whether to accept it. Part of that decision is determining whether the offer is real or just a scam.

Some scams are easy to spot. Any job advertised as "easy" or "anyone can do it" won't make you rich. And real jobs don't require that you buy office supplies to get started.

There are some jobs that Donna can pretty much assume are either scams or are highly unlikely to work out. Processing claims, posting ads, stuffing envelopes and data entry jobs are all suspect.

And just because a job uses the Internet doesn't mean that you should put your common sense in the closet. You cannot set up an inexpensive website for a product/service that "the whole world needs" and expect them to flock to your site making you a fortune. Even with search, getting your site noticed is hard work and takes expertise.

If you haven't already, try to find out more about the proposed employer from independent sources. It's easy for a company to post glowing tributes from strangers. Be suspicious of them.

Don't hesitate to ask the company for references. Just the way the company responds will tell you something about them. Real companies will not be surprised or insulted at the request.

Ask trusted friends what they think of the opportunity. Give yourself time to think about it, too. Heed your instincts. If you're at all suspicious, the wise thing is to walk away.

Donna does need to be prepared to work for commission or on a "task-completed" basis. Most at-home jobs are not paid on a "per hour" or salary.

Finally, Donna will need to know whether she'll be an employee or a contract worker. If she's a contract worker, she could be responsible for extra taxes.

Finding a legitimate work-at-home job isn't easy. The biggest challenge is determining if she has skills that can be applied to an at-home job situation. Without those, it will be very difficult to find a job that isn't a scam. However, if she has those skills, more and more employers are willing to let workers telecommute.
