money5 Tips For Staying Razor Sharp When Starting Your Home Business Enterprise
So, you've decided to start a home-based business?
Good for you!
You've just joined the ranks of 79 million North Americans who are expected to start their own home based business in the next 3 to 5 years according to Forbes Magazine.
You may be juggling a full time job, a part time job and family life. You know that there are many things you need to do in order to successfully start your business and work from home.
Don't let anyone fool you into thinking its going to be easy. It can be simple but it won't be easy. If it were easy everyone would be rich working from home.
How are you going to fit your business project into your daily commitments?
It's easy to become overwhelmed and lose focus. Losing focus will cause you to take no action. Action is essential to moving on from where you are now, to where you want to go.
Here are 5 critical tips for staying focused and razor sharp when starting your home business enterprise...
1. Break It Down:
If you have a large task to tackle, it is always easier when you break it down into smaller components. You'll find it easier to focus because you won't feel as overwhelmed. For example, 'Register a business name' can be broken down into: 'Think of five business name ideas', 'Find out how to register a business name', 'Get registration form' and so on.
2. Keep A 'To Do' List:
Once you've broken down major tasks into smaller ones, make and keep a 'to do' list. Always keep a note pad and pen with you so that you can jot down any new ideas as they arise.
3. Schedule Your Time:
Every evening, decide on three to five tasks on your 'to do' list that you wish to accomplish the following day. Stay focused on these tasks and only move on to the next tasks on your list once these have been completed.
4. Set Goals:
This is critical. There is nothing that will keep you more focused than setting goals and writing out your goals. Visualize exactly where you want to be in a month, six months and a year.
In a month's time, do you want to have registered a business name and have a fully functional home office set up? In three months time, how many clients or team members do you want? How much revenue do you want to generate in a six month's time?
5. Say No:
Be assertive and carve out more time for your home business. Saying ‘no' to that extra demand by your boss every once in a while can get you home one hour earlier a couple of days a week.
How about cutting back on the amount of housework that you do? How about watching less TV? Thats a BIG time zapper. Imagine how you could channel that extra time into your home business enterprise...
If you put these 5 tips into practice, you'll definitely find it easier to focus and stay razor sharp so you can achieve your ultimate goal of working from home and putting more LifeStyle back in your life.P.S. Pay particular attention to Tip # 3 above. As a Home Business Owner and Entrepreneur, once you gain control of your time you will eventually have all the time you will ever need...

So? Do you think we humans evolved from chimps?
Can you imagine? Take a look at the world today. Where did it all come from? I mean all the man made stuff. How about all these people. Take a look at Google Earth zoom in on some of the bigger cities, then observe the massive amount of houses. all with people who have jobs and family gatherings and birthdays and Christmas parties and go to the gas stations and to the store and to the moon.
What would the world have been like with the first cave man and his little fire? The beginnings of language. to making only noises a baby now makes and having it mean something. Or is that even right? Did this language thing go through such a feat?
Being---the maker of: the first spear, fire, paint, rope, wheel, raft, ship, clothes, etc.. Skinning an animal because (who knows) the fur looked warm?, figuring out what to eat (besides each other) no pizza lol. Or "omg i saw this wild big animal! it was very crazy, because it has never seen me and i have never seen it. and and and then i slowly went up to it and noticed that it had these strange hanging things. there were like five of them. then i saw this little animal go up to it and lick the things!! so i decided to join in on the fun!" Put that in cave man babble. Got milk?
Just think of all the mistakes that have taken place to get this planet to where it is now.
On that thought. Looking back from your point of view, do you think that the cave peoples lives were easier or harder?
Then put yourself in the shoes or feet of a cave person. Would you be thinking that life was hard? all the this new unfamiliar stuff going on around you.
The point being that they must have thought life was hard, just as you may find yourself thinking. Only now there is different tools and different scenery.
We are amazing beings.
We have evolved (the way of doing things). Over the centuries.
So then would it be possible to just have been slightly evolved chimps at one point?
If this is true, why has no single human ever witnessed a monkey evolving to a human (and left a clue on the cave wall)? Are we teaching monkeys things or are they teaching us?
So the BIG deal is...........WAS EVERYTHING put here for a purpose? Are you more important, more magnificent than you can imagine? Look around. All this. From evolved monkeys?
