How to Energize your room

How to Energize your room to invite you, and release stress.

Here are just a few tips to help you get more out of your home and make it warm and inviting.

1) Hide the TV- allowing your technical world to be taken in and out will help you make better use of space, and time. We all fall to trap when the tv is on we sit and tune in, and in, and in.. Before you know it time has gotten away from us and we become stressed out and feel overwhelmed.

2) Rearrange - Rearranging your furniture and accessories is a great way to loose the drabs. Think of how you feel when you walk into a home where nothing ever changes. Now think about just rearranging the room or putting on a new coat of paint. How fresh that is and inviting.

3) Swap out old furniture - Spring is the best time to do this. Sales are everywhere. Look for traditional pieces, solid colors that are tried and true. Look for low back couches, or unique pieces like bucket chairs or rugs. Garage sales are great ways to pick up a hutch, paint and some trim and it is a whole new look.

4) Divvy up the chores, or hire in someone to help- when your home is in order so is your mind. I think you can just relax in a space without caos. Don't neglect trim, windows, and lampshades if dusty your room looks tired.

5) Lighting- soft light is wonderful, when I walk into a department store and bright florescent bulbs pierce my eyes, I get out... But if you use soft lights, lights on dimmers, or candles the whole room looks better. EVERYONE looks better and younger in candlelight. Why do you think they are the preferred light to romance with.

Empowering Women Grant Program

Here is the scoop on the grant program:
Shared on Ryze

The current grant applicant is Gazelle Simmons, a virtual assistant and author. She started her business Admin Services in 1998 and is currently in need of a new computer. “The desktop computer I’m currently using was purchased in February 2005…It is an essential part of my business and I couldn’t work without it.” Gazelle wrote in her grant application. As a virtual assistant she works with business owners who need administrative support but not a full time employee. Her services include, but are not limited to presentations, data entry, mass-mailings and editing/proofreading.Gazelle lives near Atlanta, GA with her two teenage daughters. She is active in her community and spends her free time volunteering. After 10 years as an executive administrator she became her own boss so she would have the time to care for her aging parents. “I could be available for my parents, children even friends and family while still doing work I loved. For the first time in years, I looked forward to working.” says GazelleWith the new grant program, everyone gets a chance to be involved. Investing In Women will begin the grant with $25 and the remainder will be donated through the site by visitors and from paid advertisements. All grant donors will receive recognition on the site with their name or website link.“This gives us more transparency in our grant process and allows others to do something positive for a small business owner.” says Leah Oviedo, founder of Investing In Women. “Our goal is to offer 100 micro-grants in the next 2 years. After this grant is awarded we will be awarding another and so on.” Investing In Women was founded in February of 2009 with the goal of encouraging women to be financially independent. They offer free business resources and tools that can be used by all entrepreneurs, not just women. Set up like a co-op, members of the site contribute their knowledge and resources on different business subjects. In exchange they receive free advertising.

Starting a candle business is fun and simple

Starting a candle business is fun and simple.
TREAT IT LIKE A BUSINESS:
If you started a career you really enjoyed and wanted to do all your life you would show up early, organize to preform at the top of your game and even go above the level to just keep the job. Right!? Same thing with owning your own business, sure you can do the job in pj's but you need to make sure to set office hours, schedule your time to work, and take each day seriously.


HAVE FUN EACH DAY:
Smile and enjoy what you do. Think about what happens to you when you meet someone who is really negative. "I tired, don't feel good, sick of rain...ect..." what happens to you and your spirit that day? You grow tired, you begin to feel ill, and if you don't enjoy the day what happens to your outlook for the day, week, month....Ect......? Instead smile, be thankful for each day splash and welcome the rain, feel the sun enjoy the vit. D it offers and move forward in your day with gratitude.

BELIEVE:
I can not stress this enough... Believe in yourself, believe that you can move mountains in your business, believe in your products and what they can do for you and others. Believe!

USE THEM:
Wow, I can not tell you how many people tell me they work for this great company that offers high end products with affordable prices and then I see them shopping a competitor for similar items. What happened to your company faith, and product lines? If you don't use them and recommend them who will? It could mean the difference in success and failure.

SIMPLE:
Keep it super simple. I say if you can't teach others to do it, it takes little time and effort than pass. You are looking for those who can spend 8-10 hours a week working the business and being successful or they will quit. "KISS" think of this before taking on new projects or ideas to move your business forward.

I am looking for business professionals who would like to make a lot of money in a legitimate business of their own. If you or someone you know would be open to look give me a call.

A business professional who wants to cut back hours but not her pay?

Wow, I can recall the days of spending hours in the office, in hopes to get the next big case to work on from my boss.

I lost my job after several years provide myself to be a professional butt kisser. Yes, I said that.

Let's face it, we jump in, doing everything asked of us, and still loose the one thing that makes us whole.

I gave up that lifestyle for a professional home based business. Yes, you heard me. How I went from a 45K a year "job" to finding something that I love to do and it is all mine.

I can work in my pj's or a suit. The best part of owning my own business is that you can do it too... I'm not saying quit your "job" and dive in. Now a day you can start a small business part-time in your home building it until you do have the financials to tell your company "see ya!"

Wow wouldn't that be POWER? I would have loved to say that to my old boss.

Anyway, I am looking for 5 business professionals who want to take 8-10 hours a week to begin a small home business. NO inventory, NO minimum orders a month... And no high dollar franchises here... For just under $50 you can try our NO-RISK business plan, or try one of our larger packages and put retail profits in your pocket day one.

This business is easy, the products are used in 9 out of 10 homes daily. You probably are already using them now. When you come into the business I prove a one on one coaching & training call to get you headed in the direction you want to go. I have a few questions to help me evaluate what you want and from there be ready to take some notes...

Do you know a few people who hate their job? Hate Monday's and always complain about work? Give them a call right now and tell them to check their email, send them the link to this blog... They will thank you for it...

Candle business takes entrepreneurs by storm……

Mia Bella candle business takes entrepreneurs by storm..........

No one ever told me that being my own boss would be this much fun. Who would have thought I would be running my own candle business?

Have you got the passion to be successful? Maybe you are tired of no guarantee’s in life. What ever it is this candle business might just be what you are looking for.

I used to be just like you. Living paycheck to paycheck, not able to make ends meet, taking a second or thrid part-time job just to make my life and my family life better.

Our gourmet scented candles are made from all natural products right here in the USA. I felt that was important to me. For a small company I take pride that we pour our own products and ship them to US/Canada to independent distributors to sell and make a great profit. How much can you make you ask? That depends on you and how much work you do. But know that with just 6 to 10 hours a week you can earn more that you can at a $10 an hour job. In fact you can earn more like $75 an hour.

Who is joining our candle business? Men, women, young and old, there is no one criteria in this candle business. The point is anyone can run their own business and be successful. With the company’s commissions, car bonus program, as well as team building bonuses paid monthly you can make a lot of money with this candle business.

This candle business features gourmet scented candles, bath products and now mineral make up all made of natural ingredients. Gourmet scented candles account for about 2 billion dollars a year in sales alone. They offer comfort, relaxation and aromatherapy as well as décor fashions. 9 out of 10 people say they burn scented candles and perfer our all natural blend. So pop open a lid, put it under their nose and ask them if they would like to buy one of the best scented candles in the industry.

You will be making a great income in no time. If you want to learn more about what I can offer you as your sponsor in owning your own candle/makeup business visit my site and request a call. I will be happy to help you get started on the right track from day one.

Gourmet Scented Candle Business

Today is a great day in my business.
As a leader I am asked how do I...... on all types of subjects.
My answer usually dives into what they (those sponsored) are doing now. How are you...... on all types of subjects.
These is no one answer that fits each team member. I wish there was, it would make my team happier and I would spend less time training and more time enjoying life.
I am a leader, but success is measured by those I sponsor. How much I make is more in there control than mine. Sure retail always guarantee's me a wage each day, week, & month but how I train can also bring that to my table in the same fashion.
Take pride in being a leader, I make great efforts in my Gourmet Scented Candle business everyday to be a great sponsor, leader and business professional.
If you ask me what the difference is between myself an other leaders, I could say I don't really know. But on a personal level I can tell you what I can offer to make me stand out.
1. Reliable- If I tell you that I am here for you, I am. I won't do it for you, but I will show you how to do it. I will show up when I say I will be there.
2. Self Important - I am all about you. My goals, dreams and desires are not yours and I value you as a business partner. But you want to be your own CEO. What does this really mean? It means making decisions about your business.
3. Dependable - I am here for the long haul. I will not quit! How about you?
4. Educated- I don't know everything, I don't claim to. But I do understand street smarts and who to get the valuable training, education and learning from those who know. We each bring value to the partnership, you may know things I don't, and visa verse. Let's use that to be even better together.
5. A Friend- I am one of those friends who you can turn to and get the advice, guidance, and blunt Truth from. It may not always be the answer you are looking for.
Here are some of my finest traits in being a leader. Your leader if you desire.

What is the fastest way to drive traffic to your site?

Post a link and send it out over the web in various places and dare people to visit. Give them a promotion to get if they really do it, and watch your visits rise.
It may not be all dedicated to your business or products but you might find a few people who may appreciate you and what you have to offer.
Driving traffic to your site may also help you get up in the search engines. By linking and people clicking on the link sends a signal to google bots and tells them they might want to look at this. If the content is good it might get you to number one for a few weeks.
Reciprocal links also are great, put some ads out there and link it to the site so others find you that way. Encourage them to click for a free gift.
Visit my site, I dare you!!
Let's see if my hits go up?

Candle Business - Recruiting Tips

What three qualities are you looking for in a new recruit?

1) Reliable- In this day and age I am looking for people who I can count on. It you say you are available 8-10 hours a day to work the business, your results should reflect that. "Say what you mean and mean what you say". Will you be at those meetings, events, and team calls?

2) Self-Starters - You want to find people who are self starters, who care about others and helping others. Stay clear from those people who are in it for themselves.

3) CEO's - Yes you are looking for those who want to be the BOSS. Own their own company and treat their business like the boss. Work and are committed to doing what it takes.

So there you have it. Who are you wanting on your team. I am looking for those who have drive and passion for the business, the product and the customer's they service. If you know of anyone who might be interested in looking at an opportunity that is on its way to make people a lot of money and are open to looking at a business plan, give me a call.

What does your DREAM deserve?

**** What dreams do you dream about? ****

Maybe it is financial freedom, Being your own boss, owning a yacht, or driving a Rolls Royce?

People kill their own dreams... No really, all the negative crap that is around us everyday is destroying our dreams. Just turn on TV, read the paper or talk to your so called friends these days who are loosing their jobs. Dreams are being sucked out of our lives. Who wants to take chances?

A small fact is that once you give up it is almost impossible to achieve your dreams. You have to believe in yourself again, believe that you deserve them and that you CAN achieve them. You will have to listen to hours of positive reinforcements and reprogram yourself and your way of thinking. Sometime this means giving up TV, newspapers, talking to friends that are just not in a positive place.

That sounds like WORK! Who has time to work that hard at something? In today's society we are getting the feeling that everyone is going to get a big fat check, but it just isn't coming. The promises of riches for doing nothing just isn't in the cards. You have to WORK to make money.

We work to make money, to feed a family, buy things but why won't we work on ACHIEVING OUR DREAMS? Could it be TIME?

Our time is valuable isn't it? It is a fact that there is 24 hours in one day, right? 8 of those hours should be sleep, 8 hours for our JOBS then we have 8 hours to do and plan the way we want to. Are our dreams not worth those 8 hours of time?

We could always use 8-10 hours a week to DEVOTE to our dreams. That still leaves 48 hours a week to do other things we enjoy like tennis, TV, or family time.

Who doesn't have time to follow their dreams?


Let me show you how to find financial freedom in just 8-10 hours of time a week. Follow a given plan, and devote time for personal development and you have a story for success. http://www.GourmetCandles4Cash.com
