I love scrap-booking!

I love scrapbooking; laughs of joy, cries of sadness, memories all worth picturing, gathering and remembering. Memories are gifts that are given to you. It’s not obvious at the time, in that moment or two, when it’s passing you by. A scrapbook is a reminder of all the memories that have been imprinted on my mind. All the special people friends, and family that have a unique place in my history will never be forgotten…

And now you can create a digital scrapbook in 5 minutes using Send Out Cards and every page will be different. What a fast and easy way to create a memorial Christmas present. It is so simple and if you would like to know more, please contact me by phone at 720-890-8760 or email at jeanettemcvoy@opriusmail.com and I will show you how. It is so much fun and your shopping can be finished in minutes.

Starting a new business is like getting a new pet

Do you want a pet that learns just the basics (a dog who will “sit”), or are you willing to invest daily time in training your pet to be extraordinary? The same is true of a business. Do you want meager earnings, and little pleasure – or do you want to build a business that is extraordinary?

Goofy, I know, but the key point is, I learned as I went — I improvised. I did not try to figure it all out before I brought the doggies home.

And, just like a good team member, they added some new tricks of their own (unbelievable!). Your team will do as you do. You work hard, you are dedicated, you follow a daily plan, and you will be amazed when your team acts like you!

When starting a new business, you are the one who has to determine what your ultimate goal is for your business and set a daily schedule that you absolutely adhere to.

Are you a part timer who is happy with a one trick pony? Or, are you determined to have a rich business that is built slowly over time with much dedication? It is possible to have a business that will give you riches and pleasure beyond your wildest dreams.

Some people just aren’t ready for a new pet or a new business — and others will find the greatest rewards in business and pet ownership. Which one are you?

Are You Thinking About Starting A Home Business?

One of the principles of wealth building is to create a business that you own that produces passive income. The goal is to go from being a W2 employee working for someone else to being an entrepreneur fully engaged in owning your own business.

Do you have what it takes?

• Do you have the right self-motivation to be an entrepreneur?
• Are you a good decision maker?
• Is your drive strong enough to maintain the stamina it takes to run a business?
• Do you have financial security to take a risk?

Let’s look at two types of business, both requiring a commitment, but at different levels

The MLM or Network Marketing Company

The start up costs and few for a network marketing company are usually less than five hundred dollars. Network marketing companies usually have low minimum monthly volume requirements There is no employees with a network marketing company and you can choose your own hours. In a network marketing company you can leverage the efforts of hundreds or thousands of people to create substantial monthly passive income. In fact, network marketing companies are ideal for part-time work as you transition from your old job to your new business

The Franchise or Business

With a franchise there are start up costs and fees that an be anywhere from a few thousand to hundreds of thousands of dollars. Franchises have on going monthly royalties. Franchises usually require one or more employees and long work weeks. It is a very difficult as an owner to work part-time in a franchise. With a new business, finding a niche market can be challenging. This is not something that can be taught and can only be learned by experience

Both types of opportunities can be very rewarding financially. The key is in understanding yourself, your abilities and the learning curve you face.

Be realistic about the time you can spend in a new endeavor. Know your strengths when it comes to building and leading a team.

Think about your personal business psychology.

• Are you someone who can handle rejection and setbacks?
• Do you work well with other people?
• Are you motivated enough to work alone or do you prefer a team environment?
• Are you prepared to make personal sacrifices in order to succeed?

Be realistic about your expectations and the commitment you can make to a new business. Sit down with family and friends and discuss your ideas. Listen to their feedback without judging. Draft a plan for your 6-month, one year, three year, and five year goals before making any decisions to start. Remember, patience and careful planning are key to your success.
