Did you take some time this past week to think about your resolutions for 2008? (I bet you have!)
Resolutions create energy and promise. However, if we just have a list of goals and “things” we would like to accomplish with no “action plan”, those under- achieved resolutions can end up making us downright depressed!
This year, are you willing to try something different when setting your business goals for 2008? You can create what I call Your Simple Business Plan by following through the 7 easy steps I will outline for you.
Your Simple Business Plan will include just 4 goals that you want to achieve in your business within the next year. 4 goals may not seem like a lot, but, believe me; it’s probably more than enough with everything else you have going on in your life! (Your Simple Business Plan is a 1-year plan that is actually part of a much larger strategic plan you have for your business.)
Oh, one more thought, resolutions aren’t only about your business and career; I’m sure you’ll be thinking about goals for your personal life, as well. Before you develop Your Simple Business Plan, take a few minutes to think about how well your overall life is balanced, and set personal goals, as well as business goals.
Following are the 7 steps you can take to measure your life balance, and create Your Simple Business Plan:
1. Measure Your Life Balance
Before you develop a vision for your business over the next year, consider this:
Your business should support and help you achieve your life vision, and goals. If you set only business- related goals, you decrease your odds of having a well-balanced, happy life, and achieving those business goals!
Before you move on to Step 2, I first encourage you to measure your life balance. The life areas to measure are your; financial situation and career; social and cultural situations; spirituality and ethics; family and home; mental and educational levels; and physical well-being and health.
Use The Wheel of Life to measure your degree of satisfaction in the different areas of your life. On a scale of 1 to 10 (where 1 is low and 10 is high), ask yourself how satisfied you are with the different life areas on the wheel. You may find some other goals you want to work on besides your business goals, to help you create the life vision you desire.
You see, this is why having 4 business goals is more than enough to work on achieving, because it’s not ALL you are going to do in 2008 to have a happy, well- balanced life!
2. Create Your 1-Year Business Vision.
Great job completing The Wheel of Life! You’re now ready to create your 1-Year Business Vision.
One of my favorite exercises is creating an exciting and vivid vision of what I want my business to look like over the next year. Let your imagination run wild and type away, making sure you record EVERY thought, dream, and direction you want your business to take. Dare yourself to dream and “think big”.
3. Review Last Year’s Business Goals.
Before establishing your 2008 goals, review your 2007 business goals. Did you achieve what you set out to do? If so, congratulations! If not, are those goals still relevant? Acknowledge the progress you’ve made, but, don’t lament over the goals you didn’t reach. Move forward with your new or revised goals for the future.
4. Choose a Theme.
Usually from the 1-year vision exercise, a theme (or themes) will emerge about what seems right to focus on over the next year. It may be relationship building, product development, or implementing a new marketing plan to grow your business.
Choose a theme (or themes) that you will focus your goals on achieving. (Choose no more than two themes!)
5. Choose 4 Goals to Focus on Within Your Theme (s).
Choose one goal that follows the overarching theme (s) to work on each quarter. For example, if your theme is ‘increase market awareness’, your first quarter goal may be to ‘add 25 new business referral contacts to your business referral list’. Your second quarter goal may be to ‘publish 12 articles online’ or do a Podcast. Develop additional goals for quarters three and four.
6. Break Down each Quarterly Goal into Monthly, Weekly, and Daily Tasks
Now that you know what you want to focus on each quarter, figure out what you need to do each month, week, and day of that quarter to reach your goal. This is your action plan!
A good idea is to treat each goal as a project. Make a list of all the tasks you must accomplish to reach your goal. Buy a notebook with inside pockets or a clear front cover. Put your task list inside the front cover pocket. Keep all your working papers, articles, and resources you need to accomplish your goal in this ONE notebook. As you complete tasks, check them off your list so you can see and gauge your progress.
WARNING: Most people skip this step after they develop their goals. If you break your elephant goal into baby steps, I can guarantee reaching your goals will be easier!
7. Get support
Buddy up with a colleague or hire a coach to keep you on track and moving forward. Check in at least once a week with each other to ensure forward progress, and celebrate your victories!
If you follow the 7 steps, I have outlined for you, by this time next year, you will be astounded, and elated at the goals you’ve accomplished with Your Simple Business Plan!

If you’re about to prepare a resume, or you’re considering a revision to a resume, of course you’re bound to be diving in to books about writing resumes.
But you’re not just a resume writer, are you? You’re a well-rounded business person. As a manager, executive, or solo business professional, your reading shouldn’t (and probably doesn’t) center simply around task-based books. And interestingly, reading some of the higher level business books can actually help you with the task of completing your resume - and other job-search-related tasks.
Before we get into that, though, here are three great resources for finding out which business books should be on the top of your reading list.
*Bestseller lists. From major media outlets like the New York Times, to major retailers like Amazon, you’ll find a bounty of bestseller lists with a quick Google search.
*Top books of the year lists. The lists differ, since everyone’s opinion is different, and lists like these are more about fostering discussion than anything else. Major media and retailers put out these lists, too, and so do more job-search-relevant places. Monster.com, for example, offers an Best Business Books of the Year list.
*Business summaries. You’ve seen them advertised in the airline magazines, flooding your mailbox with direct response offers, and blinking in banner ads on the sides of your favorite business websites. The truth is, these summaries are a great deal for the time-crunched professional. Absorb the main concepts in a short reading session, and take a stroll over to your local library if you want to dive deeper.
So, what do these business books have to do with resume writing and distribution? On the face of it, not much. But step back for a moment and ask yourself these questions:
* What are hiring managers in your target industries reading right now?
* What are recruiters and headhunters reading right now?
* What’s on the executive office bookshelves in venture captial firms right now?
I’d be willing to bet the answers include a few of the books on those lists. And if these are the books they’re reading, shouldn’t these be the books you’re reading, too?
Make sure your resume, your interviews, and your networking encounters demonstrate (in a nicely understated way) you’re up to date with some of the hottest business books out there. Even (and especially) if you don’t agree with what you read in them. Polite disagreement makes for some great conversation.

Simulations (especially playful ones) are great ways to develop a lot of experience with irresistible forces. What could be better than to have fun, meaningful places to test your mettle? Coaching and teaching children provide excellent opportunities of this sort.
Prior to doing paid work, most people learn very little about the realities of working for and with others. On the job, most initially assume that the problem they should focus on is simply how to get power.
They often think that power allows you to order others to do the right thing, and great results will follow. Many people never outgrow this mistaken perspective, and so they are doomed to having rebellious people around them (whether children, spouses, or coworkers), who resent their attempt to dominate situations.
To avoid this perspective’s pitfall, you can quickly learn that progress stems from thoughtful examples, cooperation, and mutual assistance when you work with children. This experience works particularly well with those who are not your own so that you have some emotional distance.
Children who are on a sports team, for example (whether they are girls or boys), usually come out for the fun of it. If you don’t believe it, ask each child at the start of the season.
But adults are usually slow to catch on. Adults think about skills and winning. It is true that many people find winning to be more fun than losing. But how can you make the entire experience fun for everyone even when you are not winning?
You’ll soon find that letting the children play in ways they want to is a lot more fun for them than anything else. For example, let them play the positions they like in team sports.
You simply have to find lots of ways for them to play that both can be fun and develop their effectiveness. That solution means they will have a better chance of enjoying the experience of increased competence as well.
But be sure not to sacrifice the fun. That’s the core. Even when they don’t learn very much, give them as much play time as you can. You will then have served them well.
The lessons of this experience can carry over easily into being a parent. Children don’t usually just decide randomly to have a bad relationship with their parents. The children usually degrade the relationship as a way to get the parents’ attention.
The children know what the parents’ hot buttons are, and how to push them. If supportive attention is not forthcoming from the parents, then worse behavior will follow.
Being children, they would also like to have fun at home as well as on the sports field. Play with them. When you are in the car, be silent until they speak. That’s a great way to find out what’s on their minds.
You’ll be glad you did. Everyone can have fun!
Now move on to thinking about the workplace. Adults have many of the same perspectives as children do. They want to have fun, too.
They want to have a supportive relationship with the others in the organization. And they want to have meaning in their lives, as you do in yours.
To be an effective leader in this environment, you need only remember the words of retired general Norman Schwartzkopf, “Be the leader you would like to have.” Follow that advice and you can be more successful in your role as an organizational person, as well as a parent, coach, or a volunteer.

If we are all honest, most of us would do anything to live a life where we work from home, decide what hours we will work, when we will get up in the morning to how much we earn, right?
Wouldn’t it be great to get paid based on how well you perform? Imagine going in to work and because you chose to give more than 100% that day, your boss decided to pay you more money!
Let’s face it as well, life is very short and you only get one chance to live it out the way you want to live it out. Doing a 9-5 job or pulling grueling 12hr shifts doesn’t add to your life it takes away from it.
That is why so many people today are turning to affiliate marketing for extra income. This billion dollar industry over the past year has soared in leaps and bounds with more people spending money around the holiday shopping season. So how you benefit from being an affiliate marketer?
It all begins with Getting Started!
Sometimes the hardest step is the first one we take.
That’s no joke, and being an affiliate marketer is no exception. When you set out to start your online career as a successful affiliate marketer, there are going to be many ups and downs that are going to make you want to give up. Let’s face it being your own boss, being strict with how you spend your time and balancing your home and work life is going to be a challenge at time.
Don’t be put off by that as their will be times when you are making money while you sleep and waking up in the morning to find you have made an extra hundred dollars or two is always thrilling. Keep in mind all the days you have made more than you expected as those times will help you through any rough patches. Believe you can do it, surround yourself with positive people and learn from those who are doing well at it, and do it on a regular basis.
One of the things you are going to want to do right at the start is get good information from an affiliate marketer who is working from home and managing to consistently earn a living from affiliate programs.
Also you will want to set aside time each day even if it is only 1hr to spend learning the ins and outs of what to do and what not to do. It is very easy to rush head first into something and end up on the other side out of pocket and frustrated.
Realize you will need to invest in your business
The phrase ” It takes money to make money” is without a doubt the truth, but that is not to say you can’t make money online without spending hundreds of dollars. There are numerous ways going about it, but the hard fast rules of advertising have always been the same throughout the ages.
If you don’t have enough money to buy software like a website creator, there are many free software packages out their though places like download.com which allow you to make a website. Heck even Netscape the free browser comes with a website creator.
So what things will you need to get started?
Well there are no hard fast rules but having a
Website editor like FrontPage or Dreamweaver
Domain name through namecheap.com
Hosting through hostgator.com or one of the
various hosting companies out there.
Internet connection are really some of the main things, I mean you can use someone else’s computer if you really need to.
Realize that Affiliate Marketing is a booming industry that continues to grow everyday. A few resources you might want to check out when your first starting out is.

It amazed me way back, and it still amazes me today. Just how many Homer Simpsons there are on the internet.
Don’t get me wrong, I love ‘The Simpsons’.
I’ve been responsible for a few ‘Homer-isms’ in my time, especially after I’ve had a few Duff Beers!
But nothing to the extent I have seen online (and off) over the years….. and I’ve seen a lot believe me.
Only today, I was with some friends and the conversation moved to ‘making money’ (as it does!). One of them announced that he had just invested in a fantastic scheme on the internet, which said he would make over $50,000 in next to no time, with a simple investment of just $250 – and he had absolutely nothing to do.
Some of you will be thinking, “Yeah, that’s sounds similar to the one I am with”…. Others will be thinking “IDIOT! Not possible”
For those who think it’s a good deal - you are HOMER SIMPSON.
For those who think it sounds like something you’re in – HOMER!!
For those who think he’s an idiot for getting involved – you’re Lisa Simpson.
The truth is, the internet holds no ‘magic bullets’. No secret ways of making a fortune, without doing anything or paying a dime.
If you think you CAN make a fortune, by doing nothing and spending nothing, then you really are Homer Simpson…… D’oh!
MTYH – “anyone can make a fortune online”
FACT – most people trying to make money, don’t. They get sucked in to silly schemes just like the one above, and get nowhere.
MYTH – “there are 500 Million people looking to buy online”
FACT – there are probably half a billion people with internet access, but they all don’t use it, they all certainly don’t want to buy things.
MYTH – “you don’t need to spend a dime to make money”
FACT – yes you do. Not necessarily tens of thousands of dollars,
but to be successful, you do need to spend even just a little.
MYTH – “once I’m in, I don’t do any work to make a fortune”
FACT – I can tell you for sure, that some of the biggest names around still spend upwards of 14 hours a day working to be successful online.
The truth sometimes hurts. You do need to work to earn. You do need to invest a little time and money to reap the rewards.
In the past, I’ve gone to the extreme of setting aside what I called ‘Idiot Money’. This was capital which I knew would be lost forever, and ventured into MLM programs, Pyramids, Gifting Schemes, Matrixes, and many others. I did this just to prove my point, there is no basis for anyone to say something doesn’t work, if they have never tried it themselves.
I’m sure not all the programs fail, or never deliver,
but MANY DO FAIL.
Here’s a little story to leave you with….. a true story…. Something I did a few years ago as a joke.
I ran an advert to a Safelist…. Like this:-
HOW not TO MAKE MONEY ONLINE IN A SECOND
This REVOLUTIONARY new program is changing the way the GURUS think about internet PROFITS
BE THE FIRST (I am) and make a FORTUNE.
A BRAND NEW 0×0 (zero by zero) reversing, infinite matrix Gifting Program with forced spill-over directly into my account, is GUARANTEED to make me a FORTUNE.
Simply gift to me $100 to my account, then sit back, relax and do absolutely nothing (that’s just what I do).
I am going to make a pile of cash the size of my house from this.
Note – your $100 gift to me will be gratefully received – thank you. The more people who gift money to me, the more profit I make.
For more information on giving me money, contact…. XXXXXX
So… what did you think? Do you think it sounds interesting and something you could join? If you did…. Pack up your computer and return it to the shop where you bought it from.
Most (hopefully) all you are laughing, thinking that the Ad was complete nonsense and no-one would ever fall for it.
WRONG. Even though it was worded clearly, even though it was absolute silliness, I still had TEN people contact me, asking where to send their $100
CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?!!
Well, it’s true. Needless to say I did NOT take their money, I explained it was a joke, worded in such a way to prove clearly it was a joke.
After some thought, each of them went away feeling very silly.
Not everything in life is as clear as that. Not everything is what it seems.
Don’t get sucked into silly claims that fly around the Internet.
Think first……. Then think again.

If you’re like me, many days are jam packed with more items on your “To Do” list than any human could possibly handle in one day. Why do we tend to put ourselves in this situation, when we end up with little or no time to enjoy life? Most of us work until 7-8pm, go to bed at 9-10pm, then get up early the next morning and do it all over again. Before you know it the week is gone, then a month is gone, then you’re celebrating New Years Eve wondering if you enjoyed the year that just flew by…
While I’m not a big fan of most time management systems, it’s becoming obvious to me that I need to get a better handle on my work days, not only to get done what I need to do, but also to learn how to alleviate stress and overwhelm - since they both pop their ugly heads up all too often.
So in the interest of keeping my sanity, and finding some balance in 2008, here’s the plan I’m using. You may want to give it a try.
1. Begin documenting each task you do during work hours, including the time you spend doing laundry, having lunch, and going for a walk. This definitely sounds more analytical than I consider myself to be. You will hopefully be able to tolerate this extensive documentation for about a week. This should be enough time to determine where you may be losing time to tasks that are not helping you reach the goals that are most important to you - in other words the goals that keep you healthy, happy, and that feed your bank account.
2. Decision Time! After a week, analyze where you’re spending unproductive time and make decisions based on your priorities. This, of course, assumes you know what your priorities are, which leads to number 3.
3. What do you want? Many people won’t make it through the first two steps, unless they are ready to live an authentic life. An authentic life means that when you are drawing your final breath you will have no regrets. You won’t look back and say, “I wish I had…” On the surface it may appear that making money and having a successful business is what will lead to happiness. In reality, however, it’s how making money and having a successful business makes most of us feel that leads to happiness. What’s important is how we feel - more than what we have. For most people that includes such things as spending more time with family, friends, and having fun.
4. What can you give up to get what you want? Can you hire someone else to do the things that are keeping you from your priorities? Can you reorganize, refocus, reinvent a new system, or just plain quit doing something that’s not really that important? There is a wonderful feeling of spaciousness in your life when you decide to give up events, situations, obligations, or even people that are eating into the precious time you have to do what you really want to do.
5. Make a commitment - to yourself - to take action towards removing what’s not important, what you dread doing, what doesn’t make you feel good about yourself and where your life is going.
This is my plan for 2008. I know there are many different ways to approach time prioritizing. This time next year, with a whole year of thinking and testing to look back on, I will most likely give you a new system to consider. In the meantime, here is a quote by Alice Bloch to put time into perspective, “We say we waste time, but that is impossible. We waste ourselves”.

know the most important of all is the TAX BREAKS with Internet Marketing. When you have a
Home Base Business you can make at least 3000.00 just in tax breaks. “ its not how much you make its how much you keep”. 45 minutes a day for 5 days is considered a home base business and you reap the benefits from the tax breaks you receive with your own business. You can deduct 20% of your mortgage, driving from you home to your day job, 5000.00 for a child living in your home, 5000.00 for your spouse living in your home and there are so much more.
Then there is the residual income coming in from your home base business. You are receiving income while you sleep, when you are on vacation, at the store , on the weekends when you are at the kids games or sleeping in. The internet business is where it all is and you life keeps going in the right direction. It is very interesting how the internet works while you are not even in the store. I am not saying you can just live your business alone and it will run on its own. What I am saying is if you have the right tools and start with one business, get it running at 95% auto pilot you only have a few things to do and the rest of the day is yours. That is where the 45 minutes comes in.
It took me along time to figure the internet out and I will be honest with you I lost thousands until I took the right approach and started one project at a time and found the right tools. I am no guru, I am the average citizen that needed to do something at home because I have a child that needs me.
The one thing you do not want to do is jump form business to business selling those crazy products that lay in your office and collects dust. Have a plan, start with people that have been their and done that. Once you have your ducks in a row, the rest is in your pocket.
You are probably thinking that oh you have to spend a lot of money, well no you do not if you start right. There are no get rich quick businesses out there so get that right out of your mind. The first business you set up you should make sure it is running at 95% then start your second venture.
To do this you need the right tools. Do not go out and buy every internet marketing book you can find because you will not make money from them. Find a mentor that has done it, duplicate their system first and then move on to your very own niche. The best way to start is an affiliate and learn the trick and trade like any other job you have done. Someone at the office taught you how to do the job.
THESE ARE THE 4 THINGS I STRESS THE MOST FOR INTERNET MARKETING!!!!!!!!!
1) START ONE PROJECT
2) BUILD A LIST
3) MAKE SURE YOUR FIRST BUSINESS IS RUNNING ON AUTO PILOT
4) THEN MOVE ON TO YOUR NEXT VENTURE AND GET THAT RUNNING ON AUTO
PILOT, THEN MOVE ON.
Before you know it you will be quitting your day job and working your own business and being your own boss. Heck if you want Monday off go ahead take it off J

A diamond blade is an industrial tool used in the construction field for cutting hard or abrasive materials like stone, concrete, brick and also for shape cutting different objects and rigid materials. Diamond blades are available on the market in a large variety of sizes, shapes and types as well as a lot of different uses. A diamond blade works by a very simple and yet pretty interesting principle: diamond crystals form the blade saw of the cutter which is held in a metal stand; while cutting into hard materials the diamond blade wears down and at the same time, new diamond crystals are being exposed for use.
An important aspect of the diamond blades is the fact that they do not actually cut into the materials but grind by means of thousands of rectangular teeth forming the blade saw. There are more working variants of the diamond blade: some are designed to cut on dry surfaces especially when they are used on electrical saws but this particular type of diamond blade is endangering for the health due to the dust released and presents high risk when used by inexperienced workers. Most commonly encountered diamond blades are those used in presence of a water jet meant to cool off the surface, the blade and eliminate the dust released during usage.
In the construction industry where diamonds are mostly used, as well as in other fields where diamond blade saws can find utilization, diamond blades are usually grouped into six major categories containing general purpose blades, grinding cups, laser welded, tuck pointers, core bits and other diamond blades.
The general diamond blade group of cutting saws can be used for cutting concrete, brick , block or granite, can be utilized wet or dry and have a good life duration. Grinder cups diamond blades are suitable for fast grinding in stone or concrete and are composed of two rows of diamond crystal segments to leave a highly smooth surface. Tuck pointers are a necessity when it comes to finishing construction works; it is the best choice for routing and cleaning mortar joints. Laser diamond blades are used for a multitude of purposes when it comes to cutting semi-abrasive materials.
Usually, an industrial diamond blade is assembled on an automatic machine with singular or multiple cut-off blades. Before being released on the market for sale, diamond blades must undergo a series of very meticulous verification procedures; when the verification is completed, a guarantee certificate will be attached to the products specifying the cutting operations it can be utilized for and the effectiveness for every material in particular.
Diamond blades are at high request in the hard industry field. Quality products are always most wanted in spite of the higher prices as they guarantee a quality work and a longer period of time before requiring to be changed. A large number of specialty web sites offer for sale diamond blade products for any purpose you may think of. Clients can buy online and save time or place their order by calling the given phone numbers. All web sites dealing with diamond blades try to cover a wide diversity of models and satisfy any request of the eventual buyer.

Many people really confuse being an entrepreneur and being a CEO. They think they are the same thing, but over the years I’ve learned that they are actually two VERY different things.
An entrepreneur has a mind that is creative. Entrepreneurs are full of ideas, they’re eager beavers - and they are often hard to “control.” There are exceptions, of course. But all entrepreneurs tend to have that “pioneering” streak in them - and they never really lose it.
When an entrepreneur starts a business, he/she is the CEO by default. But many entrepreneurs are not well suited to remain the CEO over an extended period of time. (I’ll explain why in a minute.)
So after their company gets some success, many entrepreneurs hire a “professional CEO.” Then the entrepreneur assumes a different and more targeted role, doing what he or she does best. The role might be in marketing, inventing, creating, innovating…or it could be technical in nature.
Of course, there are also many entrepreneurs out there that have proven to be great CEOs. Every day, I work hard to be that entrepreneur-turned-great CEO (and I must say that I’ve done a pretty good job at it so far). But it does require a lot of concentration!
That’s because a CEO is basically a manager. A CEO should have a talent for building organizations, structuring, overseeing the details, watching the financials, and in general keeping the company in the black.
Also, a CEO’s job is to keep the company moving forward. The single biggest responsibility of a CEO is to build “shareholder value.”
And the fact is, most entrepreneurs don’t want to think about shareholder value. Often an entrepreneur just wants to paint on the canvas - not worry about selling the painting, advertising, and fulfillment. Often the last thing an entrepreneur wants to do is figure out how much to charge for his or her masterpiece so the company makes a profit and doesn’t go broke!
One of the biggest differences I have personally witnessed between an entrepreneur and a CEO is this: the entrepreneur is FULL of new ideas and is eager to implement them, while new ideas are the stuff of nightmares for a CEO. New ideas challenge structure and organization, and they can mean a whole lot of extra and tedious work for a CEO.
Of course there are many entrepreneurs-turned-CEOs who can do both. Sometimes a “start-up” kind of CEO can be creative and full of ideas, but still have the very structured mindset of a good business person.
So an entrepreneur-turned-successful CEO is still an artist - but business is his art. Real artists never paint with the selling price of the painting in mind. Real artists paint to fulfill an inner need.
Business is the art that fills that inner need of a CEO.
