Now is the Perfect Time For You to Become Self-Employed
Learn exactly how to make the transformation to business owner.
In some people it just happens...they transform from a person who is programmed to work hard, in most cases as an employee -- into a person who works smart -- inspired to be creative, and self-employed.
That is the first step to true independence, where you worry about money much less, and you're able to enjoy life, instead of working all the time.
Unfortunately, most people never make that transformation. In fact, some people are more than happy to stay in an unfulfilled job indefinitely. That's because working hard actually seems easier than thinking hard! Plus, there are very few risks or changes when you're not moving forward.
When you're stuck in a job, especially a job you do not like, dreaming of other possibilities seems like... well, a dream.
I know, I've been there and know what it's like...................
Here's what "STUCK" felt like to me...
Getting up early every morning in most cases, with the aid of an alarm clock.
Going through the morning routine, sitting in traffic and struggling to get to work on time.
Stopping for a cup of coffee on the way to work and thinking about, or in many cases, dreading my up coming day.
Doing what I was told or what was expected of me for eight or so hours until the clock hit quitting time.
Going home and settling in for some TV time before going to sleep, so I could wake up and do it all over again.
Sounds a bit mundane, perhaps even boring, eh?
Believe me, it can be if you let it. I know, because I was stuck in that routine for many years. It was all I knew, and it's what most people know. Then one day I decided to see what else was out there and started to look into business opportunities so I could transition out of the situation I was in and I was introduced to the world of self-employment.
Although the first opportunity did not turn out to be the answer for me, the action I took was. Yes, that day something woke me up and I made the transformation from working hard to working smart.
Here's what the "TRANSFORMATION" felt like to me...
Getting up early every morning then researching and writing down an idea or two about which direction to take to become a self-employed business owner.
Putting in maximum effort at my job until the clock hit quitting time, just to test my ambition, motivation and drive.
Jotting down more ideas for my first business venture.
Trading my nightly TV time for 2 - 3 hours on the computer doing research, entering my ideas and creating my projects and goals.
Now, look closely at the two situations. In reality, they are not too different, are they? I mean, I did not quit my job and I still had lots of time to do what I wanted. I simply motivated myself and my thought processes to be more creative and use my time more wisely.
A better way to look at it is to change your thoughts..............I did and although I am still working a full time job, that will be ending in the near future!
Take the first step in the right direction by taking action.
This type of action can lead you to a six figure income in short order. Eventually it can allow you to work less hours and accomplish more both personally and financially.
It's about fitting work around living, not the other way around. All you have to do is make the conscious decision to shift your thinking and try something new.
And that, is the step most people never take.
So today, I want you to answer a couple questions...
...are you working hard or working smart?
...are you working for yourself, or for someone else?
The sure way to beat any recession is to rely only on yourself for your financial well-being. Only then will you be able to create income whenever you need it. You'll never worry about layoffs, bills or recessions.
The key to success is taking the first step and transforming the way you think.
There IS A PATH to financial freedom, and time freedom out there for everyone,
but you have to change your thoughts and your actions.
Why not start on your path today.

I Guess I Don't Have an Excuse! by Corey Blackmur
People either put their mind to something and put a plan together to go out and accomplish something - or they make an excuse. Excuses seem to be rampant with so many people. Personally I hate excuses, lead, follow or as they say get the H*ll out of the way.
Here is a story of one person who had every opportunity to make excuses - but he decided not to,,,,,what's your excuse?

Corey Blackmur just posted a new blog titled The Power of Kindness and Giving.
A special kind of happiness can be found by fulfilling the wishes of others - it can be considered a way of paying it forward.
Helen Keller said:
"Happiness cannot come from without. It must come from within. It is not what we see and touch or that which others do for us which makes us happy: it is that which we think and feel and do first for others then for ourselves"
Think about that as you go through this posting, because kindness and giving to others is about creating hope, visions and dreams of a future.

Just a story of Choices
Read this LET IT REALLY SINK IN.......THEN CHOOSE .
John is the kind of guy you love to hate. He is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say. When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, 'If I were any better, I would be twins!'
He was a natural motivator.
If an employee was having a bad day, John was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation.
Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up and asked him, 'I don't get it!'
'You can't be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?'
He replied, 'Each morning I wake up and say to myself, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or...you can choose to be in a bad mood I choose to be in a good mood.'
Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or...I can choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it.
Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or...I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life.
'Yeah, right, it's not that easy,' I protested.
'Yes, it is,' he said. 'Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people affect your mood.
You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. The bottom line: It's your choice how you live your life.'
I reflected on what he said. Soon hereafter, I left the Tower Industry to start my own business. We lost touch, but I often thought about him when I made a choice about life instead of reacting to it.
Several years later, I heard that he was involved in a serious accident, falling some 60 feet from a communications tower.
After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, he was released from the hospital with rods placed in his back.
I saw him about six months after the accident.
When I asked him how he was, he replied, 'If I were any better, I'd be twins...Wanna see my scars?' I declined to see his wounds, but I did ask him what had gone through his mind as the accident took place.
'The first thing that went through my mind was the well-being of my soon-to-be born daughter,' he replied. 'Then, as I lay on the ground, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live or...I could choose to die. I chose to live.'
'Weren't you scared? Did you lose consciousness?' I asked.
He continued, '...the paramedics were great.
They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the ER and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, I read 'he's a dead man'. I knew I needed to take action.'
'What did you do?' I asked.
'Well, there was a big burly nurse shouting questions at me,' said John. 'She asked if I was allergic to anything 'Yes, I replied.' The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled, 'Dying'
Over their laughter, I told them, 'I am choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead.'
He lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude....I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully.
Attitude, after all, is everything.
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.'
After all today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.
You now have two choices!
