reminder to my U.S. subscribers, THIS Sunday is the

start of Daylight Savings Time. It has been moved

up a few weeks and I have been informed that any

computers over two years old will not do it on their

own this time but we will also have to reset them

when they were programmed to do it.

wow, maybe I AM getting their bills, lol.

By the way, for those who want to know, Madison, at

13 months, just gets better and better. ( Hard for me to

believe perfection could be improved! ) I had her again

last Friday to Sunday - she runs at the speed of light

all over GrandMa's store but still prefers to snuggle up

and get "luvins". I am SO blessed and still count the days

between visiting her and her Mommy and the wonderful two

day 'keepers' I have been promised and given. I still get

into trouble with Mom and Dad since she cries for "Gamma"

but has yet to cry for THEM when she is with me. If she

gets a boo-boo or into trouble, she calls for the person

she knows can fix it, LOL! Of course, I cannot just go

the 94 miles one way every time these events happen

but I do get a lot of phone calls. :-)

Featured Article

Finding the Best Home Based Business for You

Have you ever wanted to start a homebased business, but

aren't sure what's the best home based business for you?

You're not alone! Lots of people have wished for their own

work at home business. But of course the "dreaming" isn't

difficult. Choosing exactly which and what kind of business

to start is quite different.

But it's not really as difficult as many would think.

The task becomes a lot simpler when you can examine the

many choices by way of analyzing the advantages and

disadvantages of each.

If you haven't decided yet here are a few factors to

consider that might make your task a little easier.

1. Startup Costs

One of the drawbacks to many homebased businesses is high

start-up costs.

No doubt you've seen lots of "business opportunities" that

claim you can start for "free."

Don't believe it for a minute! Nothing is ever "free".

You'll want to look for a possible home business with low

initial expenses. But veer away from those opportunities

where initial costs seem unrealistic. Examine these offers

carefully.

2. Time to Become Profitable

A new home business isn't like to be profitable immediately.

In fact just recovering your initial investment can

sometimes take months.

Naturally, the amount of the initial outlay of funds needs

to be factored into the equation. But in any event you'll

want to pick a business that will begin turning a profit

sooner rather than later.

3. Ability to Start While Maintaining Your Current Job

The problem with a lot of business start-ups is they put

you in a sort of time / money "catch 22. No matter how

quickly a new business becomes profitable, there's still

a period of time when there'll be no profits coming in.

If you have to keep your job to pay the bills, you can't

quit your job until your business lets you earn enough

money to pay your living expenses. But at the same time

your job doesn't allow you the free time necessary to

start your business!

The best home based business option then is to find a

business you can start and operate part time while you

keep your job, until you're earning enough money to quit

and devote full time to your business.

4. Operating Costs and Profit Margins

You'll not only need some cash to start your business,

you'll also need some operating capital on a recurring

basis.

Make a realistic assessment of your operating expenses

and choose a business that will allow you a comfortable

profit margin.

5. Demand for the Product or Service

Regardless of how quickly, easily, or inexpensively you're

able to start your new business, you'll never enjoy success

if there's little or no demand for the product or service

you're selling.

Make sure there's a sizable market for your product

or service.

6. Continuing Demand and Economic Conditions

Our economy is always changing. Businesses often fail due

to changing economic conditions.

You could be making good profits one day, and the next

day be watching demand for your product "dry up."

You would be wise to choose a home based business based

on the likelihood of continuing demand for what you sell.

7. Learning Curve

Depending on your choice, it could take a long time to

acquire the knowledge needed to conduct your business.

Look for a business with a short "learning curve" or

for one that you already know something about.

8. Income Potential

Every business "opportunity" promises you high earnings

potential. But just how realistic are those promises?

Don't forget the old adage "If it sounds too good to be

true ... it probably is!" Try to evaluate every opportunity

dispassionately and choose a business that offers high but

REALISTIC earnings potential.

9. Time Freedom

It can take a great deal of time to start a new business.

Many entrepreneurs work 10 - 12 hours a day or more, as

well as weekends and holidays, getting their business up

and running.

Realistically assess the time demands of your chosen home

business, and make sure you have adequate time to devote

to it.

10. Satisfaction

"Satisfaction" is a personal matter, and one you should

think about carefully.

No matter what business you choose, you're far more likely

to be successful if you take personal satisfaction in what

you're doing, to feel that what you're doing is worthwhile,

something you can feel good about and be proud of.

In conclusion, you should start out by making a list of all

the potential choices that appeal to you. Then examine each

one subjectively based on the factors mentioned above. The

best home based business for you is already out there ...

you just have to find it!

Good luck in your search!

Funny for the Week

BLONDE ON THE SUN

A Russian, an American, and a Blonde were talking one day.

The Russian said, "We were the first in space!"

The American said, "We were the first on the moon!"

The Blonde said, "So what? We're going to be the first on

the sun!"

The Russian and the American looked at each other and shook

their heads. "You can't land on the sun, you idiot! You'll

burn up!" said the Russian.

To which the Blonde replied, "We're not stupid, you know.

We're going at night!"

I have been reading your ezine for quite a while

now and am certain you will never pass on any

low-grade offers. Just wanted to get more info

before checking your offer.

Thanks for the reply,

Jerome"

Jerome, from when I was given the ezine with 34 subs

I have always insisted that, to even consider doing it,

I would:

Be ME, or not BE

be available to my subs

keep my name credible and honest

and love, absolutely LOVE, what I do, or not do it.

It is my loyal subs, like YOU, that keep me going in

the midst of so many *flashes in the pan* and scam

artists, etc.

I do appreciate you!

Jan :-)
