You may have been designing jewelry for years before you sold your first piece, but does this now constitute you as being a business owner? Some seem to think however, when results aren’t exactly what they expected they tend to develop a I knew it wasn’t going to work type attitude and simply quit. You may be the most talented designer ever, your friends and family and a few other regular customers may sing your praises, yet you are still a hobbyist. Why is this? Because that is exactly how you are treating your business. It is important that you take the necessary steps to cross over in to a business from a hobbyist; it is not just going to happen by chance.A common thing that will keep you in the hobby mode is the everyday distractions that occur when working at home. Included would be Spouses, children, family and friends dropping over, and the biggie, household duties. If you are the

The number one way for obese people to lose fat is the exact same for those that are only 20 pounds overweight. Strength training is the best way to cut through fat and burn through calories. There's no difference between strength training for the obese and strength training for everyone else.When we strength train, we add lean muscle mass to our body. This lean muscle mass burns through 35-50 calories per pound of muscle every single day. Let's take a look at that number from a different point of view. If we have 5 pounds of lean muscle, that muscle will burn about 250 calories a day. Here comes the fun part. If we have 10 pounds of lean muscle mass, then our muscles burn about 500 calories a day. Hopefully you can see why adding lean muscle is the best way to lose fat.The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention state that we are obese if we have a BMI (body mass index

A question that I get asked a lot is how to earn residual income online. Oddly, a good number of people who ask me that question really don't know what residual income is. So in this article, we're going to first give a brief explanation of what residual income is and then give you some tips on how to earn residual income from your Internet business.The best way to explain what residual income is, is to give you two examples of earning an income online, one being non residual and the other being residual. Like they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. Hopefully, I will paint a clear enough picture.Let's say you are selling an ebook on how to make money on the Internet. Once somebody buys that ebook from you, that's it. They never have to make another purchase from you again, unless you have other products to sell. Otherwise, in order for you to keep earning an income online,

4. Leadership: Leading the horse to water…
Someone must take the lead and the responsibility for the project. A leader will bring together the required people with the talents, knowledge, and experience to create the desired successful results. Make sure that everyone understands their role in project and agrees to their responsibility. A great leader will give their team room to accomplish their tasks and be open to inviting questions and offering supportive information or advice. An effective leader will role up their sleeves and help out other team members, while fulfilling their responsibilities in a timely way. Leaders set a “good” example and give 100%.
5. Managing: Your team and yourself
Good managers know what motivates the members of their team and keeps these motivations as incentives to encourage their personnel. Good managers make clear the focus or directions that they want their personnel to move. They negotiate production timelines that are reasonable and agreed upon. They create a defined process for checking in on progress and help support their personnel as needed. They encourage their team in supportive ways that allow creativity and positive recognition of results.
6. Positive Mental Attitude (PMA): 'Can do…"
Projects can be difficult or even turn negative, but a PMA will often help both individuals and the team. Breeding success with positive thoughts, actions, and comments will help to keep things moving. Focused/dwelling on the negative and what is not working should be kept to a minimum. Regular reviews of positive long term goals and affirming that the success of these goals is in process will greatly aid the process.
7. Self-care
Positive self-care is essential to long-term success and good quality of life. Financial success may not be enough of a reward if you’ve sacrificed your health or relationships. A balance of work and recreation needs to be found. Self-care also looks at an individual’s ability to make time for eating well, physical exercise/activity, relaxation/stress management, and spiritual or aesthetic development. (These self-care activities will actually save you time and energy in the long run. If you do not believe me, contact me and I will give examples, including one of an Executive Vice President I coached who found that making time for these gave him better focus, increased his productivity, and improved the quality of his life.)
8. Knowledge: Training, education, experience
Life Long Learning helps to build business and personal success. An ongoing quest for knowledge not only keeps you young, it will give you g
