Paid surveys, affiliate marketing, data entry, drop shipping, horse racing betting systems and mystery shopping seem to be the most popular with people today. Well I have to admit I was also one of those people, fed up with the drudgery of the 9 to 5 existence, I simply wanted to find a way to spend more ti

No matter what size your business is, you need to set boundaries and provide structure to your workday. You determine your schedule, not your clients or vendors. If you decide your day starts at 9:30 AM, then don't answer the phone or turn on the computer until then.
Start the day with a good breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Break-the-fast like a king or queen. Don't forget the protein. Take frequent breaks during the day to give your brain cells a rest. Schedule in exercise for the body as well as relaxation for the brain.
Leave your office for lunch at least 3 workdays per week. It's much too easy to work through lunch, eat at your desk and ignore your personal needs.
Don't forget those evening meetings, whether networking or classes. Allow time to leave work, home office or a job, revitalize yourself, and be ready for these events.
If you work with others, learn to close your door or put a "Do Not Disturb" sign on your cubicle. It's difficult to concentrate when constantly interrupted. If you allow full access to co-workers, clients or vendors, you may wind up being angry or over-reactive to minor infractions.
The telephone works three ways: you can pick it up, hang it up or not touch it at all. Have voice mail or an answering service. Listening to incoming calls on an answering machine will only prove a distraction. Should I or shouldn't I answer that? OK, I'll pick it up. It's never as important as you think.
If you are working on a project, give it one hour of effort at a time. Check messages and decide the importance and urgency of these calls. Then decide if you need more protein. Athletes are not the only people who require constant nourishment. Using your brain is exhausting, but has never been given enough credibility.
Don't get 'stuck' on-line. If part of your marketing is focused on the Web with e-mail newsletters or similar marketing tools, hire someone to do the updates for you. If you value your time and have set a dollar figure for Web-update time, you can see the wisdom in having a less expensive individual perform this function. Use an employee, student, independent contractor or virtual assistant.
It's too easy to sit in front of the computer and get lost when that time could be better spent writing or going for a walk. Take care of yourself, first!

A few months ago, arriving at a client’s office to begin a group meeting, I discovered that two women, who had committed to joining us, had changed their minds. I knew they were apprehensive, not sure what to expect from someone doing Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP). I decided to talk with them and see if I could put them at ease. As I walked toward them, I noticed that they were both standing with their shoulders slumped forward, and they were leaning

You can be the most intelligent and learned person in the world, but without wisdom you do foolish things.What do I mean by that? Think of all the scandals or mistakes involving important persons that have taken place throughout the world at various times. Think of the Watergate Scandal, Enron collapse, child abuse, failed marriages, bankruptcies, misappropriation of funds, corruption...When these events take place and it involves high profi
