The economic news sure has had a great deal of doom and gloom. The unemployment rate has skyrocketed over the last 2 years. Even those of us who may still be employed, it can be a little unsettling to bear the possibility of losing a job at any time, or making less money. While there are steps that you can take to make yourself indispensible at your job, there still is much about the economy that is out of your control. So, what is...more
In the course of my home business coaching activities, I have often found that people head into the startup of their online home based businesses with a wildly unrealistic mindset. Many have been told that they can sign up for a few programs, build a website around them, add a bunch of banners and links onto their site, then sit back and watch the money roll in and never have to work again. There is a misconception that you can come online and...more
How to be successful with you home based business really depends on attitude, persistence and of course what your business offers. Lets start with attitude. Everyone starts out with this attitude that man I am going to succeed and be able to quit my full time job by next year! Well I am not going to say that cannot happen, but lets be realistic here. A home based business is just like any other business, the only difference is you are doing it from home. And this kind of thinking that you will get rich over night is usually the death of your business. It is great to have a goal, but keep it within reach. To have a successful home business, the key is watching it grow from month to month. So keeping your attitude good, and not get discouraged when you are not making $20K a month is the first key to being successful. Remember you want to grow each month, as you grow you also expand bringing in more business and revenue. The hardest part about all that is when you first get going in your new home business. You are not known to anyone, so you have to sell your business to the public. I can remember when I first started; one website on the internet where you can put classified ads was...more

Not everyone agrees there is a housing bubble which will have an impact on the entire economy, but how about one that has an impact on you? If your home was devalued, even temporarily, do you have the cash flow to sustain your credit or allow you to sell your home without getting into debt? In the US today, many people live in homes which have positioned them in a loosing financial situation. How can a home business improve your financial position and protect you from the potential effects of a housing bubble? First, many people have W-2 income as their only source of income. While a job is certainly a great way to trade your time for a consistent flow of money, it also provides you with the fewest tax advantages which means you end up paying more to Uncle Sam than those who also run a home business on the side. For example, many CPAs and tax planning specialists can show you how to deduct part of your home expenses, your cell phone bill and even costs to maintain and operate your vehicle, legally, if you are able to document that you actively work on your home business each day. This can turn expenses you are already paying for, into tax deductions. Thats money in your pocket!...more
