Entrepreneurs: Thank You Veterans and Freedom Lovers Everywhere

Today is a day that is often overlooked in the rush of everyday life online: Veterans Day. Before I was a successful home business owner marketing online using the internet to generate sales, I was a pilot in the navy. I'm very proud of my service, and I'm very proud of all our servicemen and women, and those worldwide who dedicate their lives to freedom.

We have a open society, freedom of speech, freedom of commerce and international capitalism as a result of the sacrifices of many now and before we got here.

Thanks veterans. We owe you a debt of gratitude and sincere appreciation for all you do. I'm able to work from home as direct sales professional marketer because of your commitment. I encourage everyone to say thanks to a vet today. It will mean the world to them.

Yours in Service,

43 and JOB FREE at 43: How Sweet it Is to Be an EntreprenEUR

Well, here it is November 9 of 2007, and I've been a home based entrepreneur for over three years now with my own direct sales, network marketing business (Liberty League). This posting is a summary review of my experience and lessons learned in the home business industry.

What I've learned.

1. People are People - whether they're employees working for a company or in their own network marketing business.... they're still brilliant, stupid, lazy, resourceful, loving, spiteful, vindictive, lying, giving.... you get the Picture... They're HUMAN for crying out loud, and there's not much we can really do about it.

2. The 80/20 Rule Prevails..... whether you're talking about people, your marketing efforts, technology, what works and what doesn't.... The trick is to constantly focus on finding the "20%" that provides you the most leverage.

3. Leverage is king. This is the official "Hempel Corollary" to the *80/20 Rule and it must be respected. Anger the leverage gods at your own peril.... find out more by going to my article on leverage at http://ezinearticles.com/?How-to-Create-Wealth---The-Secret-is-Leverage&id=511150
No one to my knowledge, unless they won the lottery or got a fat inheritance became wealthy without leverage.

4. More often than not, when something isn't going quite right, it's me getting in my own way. Mindset is so important and mindset is driven by the conversation we're having with ourselves on a constant basis. Do you build yourself up? or put yourself down? Be mindful of your inner conversation and watch your mindset transform.

5. Everyone is playing a game. What's your game? and how do you win? what are the rules like? Are you playing a big, juicy wide-open game? or are you playing a "late in the 4th quarter, up by 13 points" game of safety, no mistakes.... playing not to lose. All of us are playing a game here while we're on this planet and WE get to choose what the game is and how we'll play it. When I play safety game, i'm Flat, uninspired, ineffective to a large degree and low impact on other people and the world around me. I also don't make as much money.. which is an interesting parallel... isn't it?

Each one of these points is really a topic unto itself. I'll get more out there, but for now, this entrepreneur is playing a big game of life that will yield success, good fortune, huge positive impact on others and a new legacy worth bragging about.

Entrepreneurs: the 80/20 Rule and Keeping the Main Thing

In my Liberty League direct sales business, profits are huge and entrpreprenurs are looking for ways to make more money in direct sales using leverage. Marketing is also very important to grow business and get new customers. It's critical, though, to understand that leverage is the most powerful force in being profitable.

Identifying the areas of most significance leverage is critical in other words

The 80/20 rule was originally proposed by an Italian philospher, Pareto several centuries ago. He stated that 80 percent of your business would come from 20 percent of your customers, 80 percent of your problems would come from 20 percent of your customers and 80 percent of productivity comes from completing 20% of your tasks.

So think about how you prioritize your day and the things you have to do. What can be delegated? Outsourced? completed by your spouse, kids? associates? Keep the main thing the main thing and recognize that 80% of your benefit and profitabilty will come from 20% of your efforts. Thinking like an entrepreur, in home business direct sales.

Keeping the Main thing....

Leadership: Setting the Example for Wealth, Abundance and Rich Experience

Someone asked me over the Easter Weekend, "What exactly do you do"? I almost gave my standard response "I own a direct sales business in the Network Marketing Industry, and our products are focused on Personal Development".... Blah!! How Boring!!

It finally struck me!! What I REALLY do, is to teach people about wealth Creation, that there is an alternative to the mediocrity and limitation of being an employee, AND then demonstrating wealth abundance, lifestyle and rich experience in my own life on a daily basis. I provide LEADERSHIP BY EXAMPLE. I show people that they can have this too and that it's simply a choice. Then, the people I speak with REALLY DO have a choice -- they know there is an alternative out there.

There is so much power in the choice to be wealthy and entreprenurial. There is so much DIS-empowerment to being a pawn (if you're an employee, even a well paid employee, you're still a pawn) in someone else's game. They are calling the shots, and you'll always be limited on income and lifestyle as a result.

Choose to be the leader. Choose to be wealthy. Choose to be entrepreneurial. I promise you the most liberating thing you will ever do is to give yourself a raise by quitting your job and being the master of your own destiny.

Choose wisely, because wealth and leadership go together. They always have....

Marketing Your Business - EM101: Ezines and How to Use Them!

The Effective Marketing 101 Training Series

If you want to know how to become an Expert Ezine Article Author, there are some very basic things that you want to do, to ensure you get great exposure and we are going to cover most of them in a very general but complete way.

Much like a Blog, you want to cover topics that you know and consider yourself an expert on, only with Ezine Articles, they can be much longer, make your article between 500-1000 words.

The title of your Ezine will make up the URL, so pick your Title knowing that the Keywords and/or Keyphrases are often sought after for your given subject. That being said, you do not want the top Keywords/phrases, rather the ones picked second or third down the list in popularity in the effort to deal with less competition.

When you are creating your Ezine Article, you will be given an opportunity to separately enter in Keywords/phrases, so you can create your article and use Keywords and/or Keyphrases that are related to, but not included in your article.

It is important to know that an Ezine Article is not to be a blatant plug for your business, product, or service; you are to demonstrate your expertise on the topic at hand. There is an opportunity for you to talk about yourself in the "third person" in the "Author's Bio Section" and if someone received value from the information that you provided, they may visit your website to obtain additional insight and information from you.

Pick your Category carefully; be sure to place your article in the category your subject is written on, or your article will either be rejected or just not viewed very often.

Be specific, but general at the same time. Articles may get republished in a competitors newsletter, receiving full authors credit because it was good information for their people and yes, some of their people came to work with me because I am the expert.

So you see, there is quite a bit of a difference between a Blog and an Ezine Article, but both will prove to be great tools to promote your business.

If you want to see some examples of Ezine Articles, feel free to visit and read some of my buddy's articles at http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Greg_Nicholls.
