Casual Articles - Are You Living the Greatest Lie?
If you own your own business, you're probably innundated with advertising and marketing opportunities and salespeople. You probably get asked to sponsor events and donate to organizations. Maybe you've even been hit up by the premium company trying to get you to buy pens with your company name on them.So how do you know what to spend your marketing dollars on, and what to pass on?How do you avoid wasting your money on marketing that isn't going to result in more clients and more sales? How can you ensure you'll get the "biggest bang for the buck?"The answer is to go back to your marketing plan and look at your goals and objectives. You'll also want to look a
Don’t worry help is at hand. With the advent of the Internet there’s a whole new world out there, and, most importantly, it’s a level playing field. (Finally I can say it…Size doesn’t count).

Life can sometimes be unexciting if not refreshed by the will to create according to one's own conscience and freedom. Often, the power of passion fuses into unexciting or appealing activities. One sometimes expects to be free from the demands, the macro-strings of the society, so that one could do what one wishes. In many different ways, one could say that freedom of this nature may bring about towering creativity though it can also breed chaos. How to find a method that could encourage a pleasing freedom as well as bring about the desirable creativity is very important for the society in general and for business in particular. In short, a balance needs to be sought and erected.
Go to school, graduate, get a good job with a good company, accumulate retirement savings, and use these to do everything you’d ever wanted to during your retirement?
If that’s what you’ve grown up expecting you may be in for a big surprise. Only 5 people in 100 who follow this route can look forward to a comfortable retirement. Are you shocked?
That means a whopping 95 out of 100 hardworking people who try to follow this route are going to have to rely on inadequate pensions, social security, and family assistance to live out their golden years. Not a happy picture.
Just take a look in your community to see how few retirees are financially independent. If you know any that are truly financially independent then you’ll probably find they did it on their own.
So, if you want to want financial independence what are your options?
You could pray that you’ll be one of the 1 in 180 million people who hits the lottery or you could inherit a fortune when your aged maiden aunt checks out. Another way could be a life of crime, but I warn you that your chances of reaching retirement age, let alone enjoying it, are really slim.
In reality there’s just one way you can ever be financially independent..
You have to do it on your own.
I’ve just read some fascinating statistics about age and self-employment:
“According to recent studies 22 percent of men and 14 percent of women over 65 are self-employed. That’s compared to just 7 percent for other age groups. According to a Vanderbilt University study the number of entrepreneurs in the USA age 45 to 64 will grow by 15 million by 2006. That’s compared to a 4 million decline for entrepreneurs age 25 to 44.”
And: “Self-employment among American workers increases with age, with the most dramatic jump occurring at age 65.”

I was watching an episode of Grey's Anatomy the other night and one of the characters had received a check from a patient that had died. The amount of the check was $8,700,000. Throughout the entire show her roommates kept encouraging her to deposit the check but she kept procrastinating taking it to the bank. Although she kept telling people she was now a millionaire, she was not. Being a millionaire was certainly within her reach, but she just never could take the final step necessary to make it real. When the show ended, she placed the check on a bulletin board and left it there. Her millions, though only a trip to the bank away, were nothing more than a piece of paper wi

Andrew Barber-Starkey from Pro Coach International Inc. says, “What’s the only thing that gets smaller as you get closer to it? Your fears.” Often fears are precipitated by spending too much time thinking about them and not enough time dealing with them.Setting up a business means facing the unknown every day. Your skills and talents will determine the type of tasks on which you prefer to spend your time. The problem is that there are so many other responsibilities waiting to be dealt with.Susan, a woman who owns a company that makes websites and does online marketing for small businesses, was struggling with her fears. She particularly feared writing content for he

Don’t worry help is at hand. With the advent of the Internet there’s a whole new world out there, and, most importantly, it’s a level playing field. (Finally I can say it…Size doesn’t count). There are more than 500 million consumers out there and with a good plan, you can learn to build your financial independence with your own online business.
Before you say “I can’t do it” let’s chuck out some of the most common reasons people give for not wanting to start an online business:
Objection #1: I'm not smart enough to have my own business.
This is unlikely to be true. Successful businesses are run by people with vastly different capabilities. Running your own business is about solving people’s problems and not about how smart you are.
Objection #2: I don't have the time it takes to start or grow an income source online.
Unless you’re already working 80 hours a week, you can probably find time to start building an online business. You’ll probably need to find 2 hours a day (14 hours a week) to successfully build your business. (Not too much is it?). It’s really all about organizing your time. How about using your commuting time to record ideas for a business?
Objection #3: I don't have the money it takes for a new business.
The cost of starting your online business needn’t be expensive – certainly less than starting a real world business. I’ve managed to get going for about $500, but believe I have wasted some of that.
Objection #4: I'm not an expert at anything.
No matter what your background there’s probably something you know that somebody else doesn’t. That makes you an expert to the other person. Just do some research and before long you’ll find that there’s something that you can teach others.
Objection #5: I have nothing to sell.
There are two parts to an online business a product and people wanting that product. You can sell other peoples products (just like real world) if you know what people want.
Objection #6: Someone is already doing what I want to do so it is useless trying to compete.
Of course other people are a
