Working at Home-How Do You See It?

"The trouble with most people is that they think with their hopes or fears or wishes rather than with their minds."
Lady Nancy Astor


Fear of the unknown and doubting ones ability to achieve success have stopped many good people from achieving their goals.


If we could see the future, we all would be rich. Our liveswould be almost mistake free and we would have very few problems. But, alas, we can't see what will happen down the road. It's this fear of the unknown that has held many people backin many areas of their lives, especially in the area ofstarting their own business, particularly a work at homebusiness. I realize there are many scams out there but there are also many legitimate ones that you can make money with and the negative mindset has stopped many people from even trying.



Many people see themselves as failing before they evenstart. They see themselves as not having the time, money,or know-how to make their own business work. They see what they "think" should or will happen. They are also influenced by others who tell them they can't do it. The basis ofwhat they see is a mindset - one that says,"Others cansucceed in this but I can't." So you see, people don'tstart their own work at home businesses not because they don't have the time, money, or know-how. They don't startbecause they have a negative mindset. They simplybelieve that it won't work for them. They feel they arecursed to failure, cursed to live week to week, cursedto always work for somebody else, cursed to working40 or more hours a week, for 40 years, and hope they willhave enough money to survive, much less do anythingelse.


"You can learn anything you need to learn to acheive any goal you can set for yourself; there are no limits."
Brian Tracy


So, how do you change this mindset? Well, it isn't easy.All of our lives, we have been told that, "You can't do that" by friends and family. We have been programmed tothink negatively. Reprogram your mind by flushing out thenegative thoughts and replacing them with positive ones. I am not talking about some magical or mystical formula here. Although volumes of books have been written on thesubject, here a couple of simple tips. First, try to surround yourself with positive people and avoid, as bestas you can, the negative folks. Begin to read books writtenby motivational speakers such as Napoleon Hill, Jim Rohn, Dale Carnegie, and others that deal with thinking the right way and sit in on seminars and teleconferences that deal withchanging the way you think. Their are even work at home opportunities whose sole basis is showing people how to be successful by changing the way they think.


It won't happen overnight but eventually you start to seeyourself thinking in a different light. The "I can't" will become "I can." You will stop doubting yourself. You will begin to see that you can do it.You willstep out and do things you thought you would never do. In closing, let me share a quote with you from Napoleon Hill.

"Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve."

Think about it!

The deadliest killer of an internet business and how to tackle it

Copyright 2005 Robert Evans



There's a killer on the loose and it might just be heading to YOUR internet business.



Believe me, this is not a hoax. It's real, and extremely deadly.



Even as I write this, it may already be moving in your direction. Already it has destroyed thousands of internet businesses, many of them even before they have had a chance to get going.



It's a dream shatterer.



I have been targeted many times myself, but somehow I have always managed to thwart it, otherwise you would not be reading this now and none of my web sites would exist. I would not have created any products and would not have been able to help the hundreds of people who have asked my advice over the years. In short, I would be out of business.



To my knowledge there is only ONE thing that can stop this killer dead in it's tracks.



Do you know what this deadly assassin is?



It's INERTIA. Merriam-Webster Dictionary (http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/thesaurus?book=Thesaurus&va=inertia) definition: an inclination not to do work or engage in activities



Could also be described as laziness.



Yes, this is the biggest threat to your internet business.



And the one thing that can cure it is ACTION.



If you do nothing, day after day, to get your business off the ground, or to move it forward to the next level, then you might as well not bother.



We all have setbacks. We all come across new material, new ways of doing things almost on a daily basis. The key is to not give up at the first hurdle.



I've even come across people who think they can achieve nothing simply because they can't copy and paste. For every piece of advice, or instruction that you give many of these people, the reply almost always begins with: "But I can't..."



No wonder they don't get anywhere and just chase their tails all over the internet looking for "get-rich-quick-without-doing-anything" schemes.



And if you don't know how to do something but you know it can be done, and you want to be able to do it yourself, then simply learn how to do it and then get on and do it.



Being successful is all down to the application of knowledge. Sure, other factors do play a role, such as timing and luck, but mostly your success will be down to getting something done.



When I bought my first computer I had absolutely no idea how it worked. I could switch it on and that was about it.



When I first got on the internet I had no idea what I was doing. I could search for something on Google and that was about it.



I can now fix many computer problems

I can now build web sites, work with CGI and PHP scripts, do copy writing, create ebooks and many other things



I can do these things because I experimented, I did research and I studied how others were doing them. Why? Because I wanted my internet business to evolve and be successful.



The deadliest threat to the achievement of your personal dreams stems from you. It manifests itself as inertia.



The solution to this threat also stems from you. It manifests itself as action.



Take action immediately to help eradicate this threat. Make sure you do something every day to move your business forward. And you will find yourself taking great leaps toward your ultimate goal.
