I mean, REAL secrets about business success - the ones that will make you rich?
You know as well as I that there really isn't any such thing as a secret - just a truth that you haven't discovered yet. (I read that somewhere and I don't know who said it - but it is profound).
The SECRET is - discover your own truths - the ones that will help grow your business. Use your imagination; it's amazing...
What a question! What's THAT supposed to mean?
I ask the question because so many people today who profess to be interested in operating their own business spend far too much time "tire-kicking."
While I would never underestimate the importance of exercising due diligence when investigating any type of business or income opportunity, there comes a time when you simply have to make a decision...
As an entrepreneur, I'm always intrigued by small businesses, home-based or not, that exceed the expectations of their customers in a big way.
Let me tell you about one of them.
Recently I spent some time with my daughter in her college town of Tuscaloosa, Alabama. We were spending the day getting her apartment ready for her return to school in the fall. When it was time for lunch, she wanted...
Many of you reading this are working full-time, with a dream to eventually leave your job for complete independence from home. Some of you are also working at a home-based business; others are exploring the idea of one.
Others are working part-time outside the home, and supplementing your income with a part-time home-based business.
Still others are unemployed outside the home, either...
Toby is one of our two family pets (both cats). He is quite astute, and he has learned one of the most basic tenets of selling - stick with what works!
Many of Toby's days are spent perched on the top of my monitor as I work here on my computer. As a matter of fact, he's here right now as I write this article. Toby is a very personable creature. He enjoys being in the company of humans, and he...
It's all about numbers - or so some ezine publishers would have you believe.
10,000 subscribers and counting!
20,000 subscribers and counting!
30,000 subscribers and counting!
You get the picture...or do you?
Now let me ask you - how many of those are actually READING your newsletter? Do you even know? Have you checked?
You might really be surprised!
I've got bad news - especially for those...
Let's start with the second part of the article title - who, or what, is the "anti-guru?"Well, the WHO would be me, of course. The WHAT could be defined as any individual who does not claim to have all the answers on a particular subject. Hence, I'm the work at home anti-guru, since that is the focus of my website.And I do not have all the answers, believe me.Just a lot of them. And learning...
Watch out - if you do, you're showing your "Internet Age!"
I am, of course, referring to the now infamous "Cookie Cutter" marketing program which was all over the internet when I first began exploring the online business world (circa mid-1999).
If you have no idea what I'm referring to, then you can consider yourself a relative newbie to the internet. I bring up Cookie Cutter as an example of...
...the Jones's? The Smiths? The latest internet "sure-fire, 100% guaranteed, knock-down last, best opportunity?"
Makes you want to pull your hair out, doesn't it?
I'm here to tell you...don't get caught in that trap.
I have yet to learn about anyone who has made any significant long-term income from any of these programs. Perhaps there have been a few along the way, but to be successful on the...
Why do any of us choose to work from home? The answer to that question is as diverse as the individuals who call home their workplace.
For those of us who have chosen to market online, this question has many answers. But ultimately, everyone who works at home - online or off - has the same goal.
To make money.
For some reason, however, those of us who choose to do it online are often perceived...
I've recently begun working with individuals one-on-one who are truly interested in earning an income from the internet in the comfort of their own home. A common complaint I hear from them is that they are constantly overwhelmed by the enormous amount of information that they are bombarded with each and every day.
This is understandable; everyone has faced it.
Those who have been successful...
Yep, that's where I wrote this article - sitting on the back porch.
Well, that's probably inaccurate; actually, the idea for this article came to me while I was sitting on the back porch. I was enjoying my after-lunch coffee along with an unseasonably warm (but delightful) October afternoon, when it occurred to me that I was indulging myself in one of the true luxuries of the work-from-home...
One of the things most critical to home business success is defining one's goals. We are continually reminded to write them on paper, giving ourselves a deadline to meet them, so that we can remain focused on our ultimate dreams.
We need to keep them in front of us at all times in order to maintain the motivation often needed to get us over the rough spots in our businesses.

Two years ago, when I had been working online about a year, an online colleague approached me about writing an article for a special edition of his newsletter which was to feature successful women online. Naturally, I agreed.
As I was researching for the article, I read a statistic that revealed that women over 50 were one of the fastest growing groups of internet users. That didn't surprise me,...
Today, more than ever, working at home is a dream that can be achieved.With the advent of technology that allows people to communicate all over the world from their own home office, many individuals are now working at home who would not have had such an opportunity in the past.
