Home Based Business

When I was growing up ,my Dad was always looking for the perfect home business. The first enterprise he became involved with was a peanut,,cashew, and m&m route.My Dad had bought the machines, and set out placing them in gas stations, beauty shops, any where people would have time on their hands .Some locations did well some poorly ,and he would move them ,and some would be habitually broken in to .I remember sacks of nickels and lots and lots of stale peanuts and cashews. My mom actually came up with a pecan type pie made out of stale cashews that tasted pretty good. After a while my Dad found a buyer for his route and moved on to something else . I remember a garage full of soap cleaning supplies and misc. I guess my Dad sold some but I know forty years later I still have some concentrate on the shelf in my garage.(Us kids were use to getting at least a case every Christmas.)On to the wood stove made by the same family who developed the Gatling gun one hundred years ago .Long time between Ideas I guess. Finishing out with a little trampoline, that the sales pitch stated,” exercised every muscle in your body with out stress to the bone structure.” My Dad explained to me that I could train for cross country by instead of running just bouncing on my toes on the trampoline. I didn’t buy that. Because every thing that I knew at that point involving conditioning ,and endurance training said that presumption was false. Who knows I could have been an Olympic champion ,but I doubt it.
All these years later I find myself working a home based business. This one doe’s not involve filling and emptying nut machines, warehousing cleaning supplies or bouncing in someone’s living room. What I am involved with makes sense. An Internet business selling soft ware that teaches and promotes Internet marketing This works whether you want to develop yourself to become an aspiring eBay marketing King, or an Internet Real Estate Marketing Professional. You actually use the products you are selling and no warehousing no shipping,(Buyers simply download) And the best Two fold things ,One the most aggressive and consistent training program I have ever seen and two (one Hundred percent Commission)You can even listen in on the training free To give yourself an Idea of whether It is down your alley or not.

STAY AT HOME MOM

When I was growing up I had a stay at home mom. Of course, my moms Idea of Home business was keeping the household finances in order. We always had a huge garden with sweet corn, tomatoes, green beans and about, about any other vegetable you could think of. We had a pretty big patch of strawberrys,and two rows of raspberries. My mom and my aunt canned all we didn’t eat, and also froze a lot of fruits. My dad would buy a five gallon can of Michigan cherries every year and my mom would freeze and can them. We also had a chicken house, which provided fresh eggs every day and chicken dinners on Sunday. My mom sewed most of my two sisters clothes, made them dresses and skirts and blouses, and taught each of them to sew. My mom even found time to volunteer as a 4h club leader where she taught other girls to cook and sew. Sometimes the ways of the past are better, we had a loving nurturing childhood and my mom was always there for me.
In today’s world Because of the financial pressure most moms are forced to seek employment outside the home. Single mothers have an even rougher, row to hoe, as they have to try to balance time at work, to provide for their children, and time with the children, to teach and nurture. Daycare and after school programs can eat up a large percentage of the pay check. Although huge gains have been made ,the pay equality of women still is not usually on par with wages of a man. Some opportunities have been made aware to me, in the field of internet marketing. For a very small investment, a mom can have her own home business which pays 100% commissions,and allow her to do for and care for her children as she wants too. A mom can really be a stay at home with her own career. If you would like to have more information on stepping up and being free, go to http://fortune.davidshriver.net

Corn,Beans,and the Housing Market

When I living on the farm one of the perilous aspects of the profession was, The whipsaw fluctuation of crop prices. Crop prices fluctuated with the weather for sure, but just as much maybe more by the crop forcasters.Every time a crop forecaster would make an announcement---“This years corn crop expected to be a record breaker, The soy bean planting are up 15% so expecting larger than normal harvest.” Announcements like these of course drove the prices down and by the time harvest time came around, It mattered little if the forecasts were nothing than a smell in the wind, as” harvest conditions effect crop” so the forecaster is always right he just changes his story. I know these things although detrimental to the farmer, make wall street people, a lot of money on the futures market .Good or bad that’s one of the reasons young people are not staying in agriculture, which in my way of thinking is a shame. Anyway the reason I point all this out is.
I guess I want some one to tell me Who started the housing market challenge we are now experiencing? Is there someone who took a booming economy, low unemployment, controlled inflation, and a very friendly lending atmosphere, and turned it into a housing slump? I realize oil prices, cut consumer spending, But is that the end-all answer? When is someone going to say” Look, we have an ever growing population, Baby boomers reaching retirement age, and the lowest interest rates in years! OOOPS-----So anybody have a handle on where this whole thing started? leave me a comment---Thanks David Shriver http://flippin.davidshriver.net

TAKING CONTROL OF YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS

Your conscious is only between about 10% of your mind, the rest of it is what is known as your subconscious. I know that would not surprise my teachers I had in school, I think there would probably be some debate of whether I used my entire 10%of my conscious mind at any time during my schooling years..

Your subconscious is the most powerful thing you own, and the most dangerous one. When you hear of people having anxiety attacks this is totally the subconscious mind taking complete control. Throwing an individual into a complete panic for no reason apparent, to anyone ,but that persons subconscious mind.

If you know how to make it work properly, it will do things for you and help you achieve your goals and dreams. The laws of attraction.

If you do not work it properly, it will fight against you on any thing you want to achieve - including being happy. You also will be using the laws of attraction ,but instead of attracting the goodness into your life ,you will be attracting the bad.

Your subconscious has no personal preference for what is happening on the "outside" it only cares how you are dealing with things .(problems,obstacles,challenges).

If you are dealing with them incorrectly, your mind will "quit" on you, and you will lead a miserable life where everything is a struggle and there is little or no hope at all. Where every problem has no answer, all obstacles are insurmountable, and you end up turning from every challenge.
The subconscious mind can be programmed (basically the secret)By dwelling on the good,----seeing the beauty,----and expecting good .We attract ,what our subconscious mind see‘s.. laws of attraction.

Laws of attraction are real

Whether you realize it or not, the Law of Attraction is already working actively in your life right at this moment. The events, opportunities and experiences you are experiencing today were set into motion by the thoughts and actions you‘ve taken previously.

The secret to the Law of Attraction is really about realizing that this law is already active in your life and deciding that you want to deliberately attract things into your life consciously rather than leaving it to the vagaries of your subconscious. This is going to take some effort on your part and if you are trapped in a negative spiral, it is probably going to take a great deal of work to change the patterns of your thinking. You’ll need to monitor your emotions in particular, because it is your emotional state that gives you the clues to the kinds of things your thoughts are attracting to you. With practice, this monitoring will become more routine and you’ll be able to let the negative thoughts go lightly while you move your focus onto the positive.

One of the main differences between the writers of the early 20th century and those who write about the Law of Attraction today is the emphasis on just how much work you need to put into consciously working with it. Many of the new breed of writers suggest that it is easy and that merely thinking about what you want for 20 minutes a day and putting together a vision board or two will get you on the road to prosperity and abundance.

The early New Thought writers such as Wallace Wattles, on the other hand, suggest that you need to do a lot of work and must deliberately take charge of what you are attracting into your life throughout your every waking moment. In the words of Wallace Wattles, echoing a common phrase in Christian,teaching you need to "pray without ceasing". In my opinion, this the correct course to take. And as Napoleon Hill taught; pursue it with a burning desire.Put a lot of work into the Law of Attraction and reap the large rewards. Or put a little work into it and watch the rewards trickle into your life. It's your decision. Reap what you sow.

Resourcefulness

I guess I was twelve years old when I received my initial lesson on resourcefulness. Now this wasn’t a lesson that was in a book, It wasn’t handed down by my older cousin ;no this lesson was one I had to figure out all by myself.
You see back then all the farm kids rode the school bus to school, I won’t go into this too far but I can remember my oldest daughter explain to me that If she couldn’t get a ride to school, she just wasn’t going. Well I jumped all over that and forced her to ride the bus,untill the pain I ended up enduring became too great then she rode with a friend, Oh well, Anyway when I rode the bus there was a pecking order in as the older high school boys owned the back of the bus. After being picked up and thrown to the front of the bus I understood this. On our bus route were a family named Vonburg,Of which there were four brothers. Three of the brothers were older and in High School the youngest,Mikey was a year younger than me. A really old way of describing them would be to label them as ruffians which is what they were; bullies.
The older ones started egging on the little brother, saying they didn’t think he could whoop me, and Mikey of course rose to the challenge of his older brothers, and started slapping me around. I had been taught not to fight ,and especially never hit a girl or someone younger so I retreated to the seat next to the bus driver.
I was really in a dilemma shrugged it off and when I got home I asked my Dad what I should do; expecting to hear him tell me to stand up for myself under the circumstances. However that was not his reaction at all just the contrary. My Dad went into a tirade about his son becoming a bully, and gangs and violence, now remember this was rural Illinois in the fiftys,So he over reacted some what,and told me that if he ever heard of me getting in a fight I wouldn’t get a drivers license until I was twenty one years old and undoubtedly would end up in prison. This was not the helpful advise I was looking for, and was no where close to the world I was living in.
Every day the bus ride to school and back became increasingly intolerable as Mikeys brothers saw I wouldn’t fight back and cheered him on.
Then one day I was sitting with my friend who lived in the bottoms, we were talking about my going down to his house and boxing with boxing gloves.Mikey sitting in the seat behind us was listening and spouted off that he aught to come down and beat us both up .It was like I could see divine grace showering around me as I said that would be a great idea ,he could finally beat me up. So we set it up for that night after school.
We all met at my friend house and went into the barn ,had an area all set up with old horse harness making a make shift ring, Of course Mikey wanted to waste no time so I put the boxing gloves on and my friend was going to referee. Ding,Ding,I don’t think ole Mikey ever got a blow in as I tore him up, We ended up being somewhat friends as Mikey had a whole new outlook on things. After that his brothers even treated me with respect.
I wouldn’t and couldn’t disobey my father, or dishonor his wishes as well as I could not go on being constantly challenged, belittled and, goaded.
The recourse a pair of boxing gloves, some old horse harness, and a little bully that needed taught a lesson.
Problem solved What a wonderful world we live in may we all strive for a clarity of purpose, and resourcefulness

Ornery and vinegar

When I was only four or five years old, I was over at my Grandma and grandpa’s house and while playing outside I stubbed my toe on the sidewalk in front of their house. Of course I was crying and carrying on so my grandma came out and said she would go get something to make it better .After a while She came back outside with a pan half full of vinegar and held my foot down in it.
Now this was in the early fifties, and apparently people back then didn’t know what we know now of chemical makeup of different things so apparently my grandma didn’t know that she was submersing my bloodied toe in acid. And she must not have known that acid on an open wound would be unbearably painful. Unbearable pain at an early age ,or I guess any age, is an unforgettable experience. Well as I recall my Dad thought the whole thing rather humorous, or so I remembered.
When I was a little older, one day, my dad, while mowing the grass hit a clothes hanger with the mower and a piece of the hanger hit him in the leg. My mom had put wire clothes hangers ,stuck in the ground around her flower garden to keep the dogs out of her flowers. And my dad not seeing one hit it with the mower. Well my mom doctored it and it seemed like it just wouldn’t get better. Then one morning my dad woke up and a blue line was going up his leg, Blood poisoning ;off to the doctor for tetanus ,and penicillin shots. My dad was going to be ok but was suppose to stay in bed for a few days. So my dad was in the bedroom my mom was in the kitchen and I said” Daddy says he wants you to put some vinegar on his leg”
My mom poured some vinegar in a little dish and got some sterile cloth and headed for the bedroom as I headed for the back door .I heard my dad yell HEY WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO TO ME KILL ME, I ALMOST HAD A HEART ATTACK!--- as I ran for the barn.
