Entrepreneurship and the Business World
Copyright © Paul Zemella
http://www.HugeIncomeFlow.com

More and more people, young and old alike, are claiming the vocation of entrepreneurship. But what is entrepreneurship exactly? It is actually defined as the process wherein a group or an individual makes an effort to pursue opportunities to satisfy needs and wants through uniqueness and innovation. Some people have the misconception that entrepreneurs are gamblers, in the sense that they take risks and invest in industries that have no previous record of success. However, the truth is, these entrepreneurs are creative, visionary and possess a sense and an awareness of the need for change, and possibly most importantly they are willing to take calculated risks that have the potential to provide them with huge returns. This last quality is one that most people don't possess; this is what sets and entrepreneur apart from the average. Most people settle for complacency, security and exist in their conservative, protected world.

The key factors you need to remember about entrepreneurship are a constant alertness for new opportunities, fresh innovative ideas or products, and a vision for growth. An entrepreneur sees opportunities in environmental and social trends that are unique and unchartered and pursues these opportunities with whatever resources are at hand. The second theme in entrepreneurship is innovation, which involves transforming and revolutionizing existing products or services to keep pace with the changing global environment. The third theme is growth; this involves the continual efforts of an entrepreneur to expand his business locally and internationally, the Internet has made global influence a practical and viable reality to expansion of business. An entrepreneur is constantly alert to create new approaches to make his business grow and become a enormous success.

These themes are the key factors which businesses, both traditional as well as home- based, are founded upon. Most of today’s largest corporations did not start out big, rather they started out as small enterprises by visionaries who wanted more than what is offered to them. You can see from the history of some of the most successful business today that the founders of these businesses have taken great leaps of faith and incredible amounts of risks in order to be what they are today. Wherever you turn, you see the results of entrepreneurship. But it seems most obvious in Internet commerce, because it is such a new industry. There are countless stories of apparently average people becoming some of the richest and famous names in the world, and it is all because they have taken risks and have succeeded.

So, whether we realize it or not, it is the entrepreneurs who drive today’s global environment. They are the ones who are always seeking out opportunities and taking risks to improve our world, and in return profit from it. The massive growth of the business environment, as well as amazing technological advancements that are available today would not have been possible if these entrepreneurs didn't break free of their comfort zone to invest in the development of these businesses.

As you can see, having the entrepreneurial spirit is definitely necessary for businesses to reach greater heights and provide better and faster products and services to their clients. It is no wonder then that most business enterprises are hiring young and dynamic individuals with a vision and who are not afraid to take calculated risks to ensure the survival and continued growth of the tomorrow's business. Do you have what it takes?

Do you have what it takes to be an e-entrepreneur?
Copyright © Stone Evans, The Home Biz Guy
Author of "Dotcomology - The Science of Making Money Online"

These days, it seems like everyone wants to work
from home and make money on the Internet. But
before you even turn on your computer, the first
question you have to ask yourself is whether
you’re cut out for this kind of work.

The fact is, building a home-based business isn’t
for everyone. Some people like the commute. They
really do enjoy having a boss who tells them what
to do, and they like the routine of working
nine-to-five for an ordinary salary that can
barely pay the mortgage. Personally, I think
they’re nuts.

More reasonably, there are people who are
concerned about the risk of starting up their own
business. They’re not sure it’s worth the
investment of time and money, and they’re scared
of the responsibility that comes with running
their own company. They wonder if there is
another way to escape the rat race.

I’m sure there is. You could win the lottery or
wait for your Aunt Sue to keel over and leave you
her condo. Or maybe you could sit down with a pen
and paper and draw the blueprint for "The Next
Big Thing". Anything can happen... Right?

For me, what happened was creating a successful,
self-running Internet marketing system. It didn’t
happen without effort. It didn’t happen without
at least some initial investment of both time and
money and, of course, it doesn’t happen now
without me making sure that the taxes are filed
and the paperwork is done. But it happened.

I’m my own boss. I work from home according to my
own schedule and I get to pocket all the cash my
business makes. If you’re prepared to give an
e-business the time, the work and the money it
needs to get started and get growing, it can
happen for you too.

So You Want To Start Your Own Home Based Business…
Copyright © Paul Zemella
http://www.HugeIncomeFlow.com

First off let me say “Congratulations!” I personally think it’s a wonderful decision. It will provide you excitement, as will as numerous other benefits. Usually top of the list is extra income, which of course is the primary motivation most people and yes, there is much money to be made and you may as will share in that. Another benefit, that might surprise you, is that it will cause you to become a more will-rounded individual. It will force you to stretch out of your comfort zone, and stimulate your creative juices, as well as making you brush up on your math and business skills.

However, I strongly caution you to not go into any home based business, on-line or otherwise, without doing your research. There are many good opportunities available, but there are ten times more bad programs, and many that are down right scams also. So, you do need to do your homework, take your time in analyzing, or visit some business forums on-line where you can often times get sound advice.

As you get started you will need to first consider several things. One, what is your budget, both as a start-up budget, as well as an ongoing operational budget? The numbers you come up with should be within your financial comfort zone. If the costs of operation eat into your household budget then you will quickly find that the idea of operating your own business is no longer fun. The monthly ongoing budget should be small enough that you can endure up to six months of losses. Hopefully that won’t be necessary to call upon, but all too frequently business owners will give up their business and their dreams due to burdensome financial pressures, when they might have actually been just around the corner from profit if they could only have endured just a little longer. Also, realize that there is a learning curve to getting your new business operational, expect to spend many hours studying, planning, and setting up your business. Usually the amount of time necessary to get started is vastly greater than you would have imagined. And it may take a whole month or two just to get things in place to where you have an understanding and the background to move forward. So, be prepared to study, learn and most of all try to be patient, after all, like they say: “Rome wasn’t built in a day”…and neither will your home-based business.

The fun part is that a year later you will look back and see the huge amount of knowledge you have acquired through those months of persistent learning and patience, and hopefully your bank account will be larger from it also.

Yours for Health AND Wealth,
Dr. Paul

Fitting Your Home Based Business In Your Home
Copyright © Paul Zemella
http://www.HugeIncomeFlow.com

You are motivated and excited about starting your home based business, you even have a plan and a goal and maybe even a product line...BUT....where in your home/apartment are you going to find the room to make your new business operational? Depending on your new business you might need just the space of a small desk, and a laptop computer. But I promise you, if things go as you hope they will, you will soon need more and more space. Now, just a word as a Chiropractor, please try to remember about posture and ergonomics when you are spending time at your computer/desk/floor/bed. When we get engrossed on our new project we can easily find ourselves working into the wee hours of the morning, all crunched up over the keyboard, for hours and hours, not moving except for maybe a bathroom break or a quick snack from the fridge. The spine can usually handle a little of this abuse, but not night after night, the stress on the joints will eventually take its' toll and back/neck pain will be the consequence. So, please remember your posture as you focus on your new business. Possibly the easiest way to evaluate your posture is to ask yourself that if you mom saw you sitting like that would she yell at you to straighten up? Chances are she would.

Now, back to office space, if you have found a corner of a room to put your laptop/computer on a dedicated table or desk you also need to insure that it won't be disturbed. Whole projects have been lost on a computer when well meaning, energetic children wanting to do a homework assignment (My Space) unknowingly erase an open file that you may have spent hours creating, or possibly your cute, loveable cat jumping up onto the keyboard and taking a short stroll across the keys with one paw resting on the delete button for about 5 minutes. All that equals disaster that could have been avoided. So, unless you live by yourself and have no pets consider those possibilities, because I promise, like our friend Murphy says, "If it's possible to happen....it will!"

Some home based business have much larger space requirements, and possibly need an actual room dedicated to the business, if so, try to keep it organized and clutter free, you will find you will be much more efficient, as well as mentally more clear to focus on your tasks. And, don't forget about your garage as an option for your business space, in fact that seems to be where some of the biggest businesses of all time have had their beginnings.

A common challenge home based business owners run up against is that just because your business is in your home you still have to take it seriously, the same as you would if you had to drive across town to an 8 to 5 job. Sure you can dress casual (in your jammies) but you have to be able to operate on a high level of mental focus, attempting to achieve a professional level of performance. In fact I know several very successful home based business owners that will actually dress up, do all the usual primping one would do if they were going to an outside employment, simply to make themselves feel professional and consequently they find themselves operating at a much higher level of performance. Of course that is a personal decision, but if you find yourself not being as productive as you would like, you might consider that strategy. Dress up, feel good about how you look, and just maybe you will get better performance out of your work time at home.

Making Money And Exercise
Copyright © Paul Zemella
http://www.HugeIncomeFlow.com

Hi Friends,

We all are faced with the challenge of trying to make a living with our job, either working at home, or employment outside of home, and ALSO tying to find time to keep our body healthy by doing at least something that resembles exercise.

Most of us understand clearly that exercise is important, but few of us actually act on that knowledge. Of course we all have our excuses, mostly relating to time, or external demands over which we supposedly have no control, or we have responsibilities that consume our complete day, or if none of those apply how about complete fatigue after our day is over that keeps us stuck in our chair in front of the TV. And then of course, there is the exact opposite individual. We all know the type of person that seems more like a human version of a machine that never tires or slows, and can run circles around all of us without breaking a sweat, they are tireless, never gain an ounce of weight, only need 6 hours of sleep and they are ready to forge into the new day full speed ahead. They always have time for exercise, in fact they must exercise, they get a high from it. We've seen them at the gym, they are the ones on the treadmill going full blast, or in the aerobics class in the front row jumping higher, determined to conquer that 60-minute class. We wonder "what's wrong with those people?" Alas...that isn't us, we are the ones that drive BY the gym thinking to ourselves that we should make use of the membership we are paying on monthly.

So, what do we do, how can we stay healthy, get some exercise squeezed into our full work day? At least enough to know that we burned some extra calories and made our heart and lungs work beyond their daily minimum effort. I have some suggestions. In my 38 years in practice I've come to learn that whenever I communicate health concepts (which is all day long) I must keep them simple, reduce them to their lowest common denominator, if I expect any level of compliance. Of course my patients are sincere when they assure me that they will carry out my exercise recommendations, or diet suggestions, or a stretching program. But I know that if I don't keep is simple, short, and convenient most people will not continue past the second day.

What I have found to be successful over the last year or so is to recommend two basic items, an exercise ball (those large balls that people sit on) and a simple resistance tube made for exercise, with handles at each end. The exercise ball sells for about $25.00, and the resistance tube for about $20.00 and they should be available at any sporting goods store. With those two items you can do combinations of exercises that take the place a gym full of machines. The exercise ball and the tubing should come with simple exercise diagrams on the instruction sheet. The tubing can work your complete upper body, and even your legs, if you can figure out how to do that. Using the ball brings into play all of the "core" or abdominal and low back muscles. Using these I bet you will find that they are actually kind of fun, and you might just be tempted to move to the next level, and that is to go out and rent or buy some of the exercise DVD's available that show complete workouts with these two items.

As far as your heart and lungs are concerned, at first you will notice that you will be getting a good cardio workout just doing the exercises I described above, but soon you will need more, and that can be just a simple but brisk walk around the block, and with time making it a longer walk. A stationary bicycle can always be found at a garage sale, and makes for a great cardio workout. At age 61 I find that's my favorite cardio workout, I sit and read my professional journals while I peddle away, for usually an hour. But you must start slow and easy, listen to your body, don't push it, there is always the next workout to go just a little more.

And of course I have to include the usual caution that that you should not begin any exercise program without first consulting your physician/chiropractor.

There are so many other easy ways to get exercise; I will include more in future articles. But if you simply start you will feel better, and find it is actually fun, especially if you keep it simple and easy.
Yours for better Health and Wealth,

Dr. Paul

Money And Stress

I'd like to address the issue of stress that seems to surround our world of financial survival. As a chiropractor I frequently see back and neck problems that are resulting from a secondary reaction to stress, and on questioning I find more often than not, it's roots stem from the financial challenges that patient may be experiencing, either on-going struggles, or maybe a recent negative turn of events. None-the-less most of us know from personal experience how financial struggles can and will cause increased stress on the body's nervous system, which in turn can result any number of negative physical consequences, from simple spinal tension and headaches, to serious internal complications such as ulcers, and diverticulitis to name a couple, and some even suspect stress is in part responsible for the big C (cancer).

So, with that in mind, as a chiropractor I can usually effectively improve the stress related symptoms of muscle spasm and the associated spinal changes, and even possible improve the internal nerve disturbances to help the body heal itself, BUT I’m unable to help the individual's financial problems, the actual cause of the stress condition.

In fact it's my own personal experiences with financial reversals, and the huge accompanying burden of stress I experienced that led me to diversify my efforts at improving and stabilizing my financial position. Stress kills, and my being age 61 I want to minimize the added stress factors on my body by making sure financial issues were no longer producing the anxiety and burden that I had experienced in the past.

Being trained as a chiropractor is literally the only formal education I have, and with the insurance world in such constant disarray I, as all doctors are finding, have to work twice as hard to earn even less than I made in past years. Consequently, I have turned to the internet for the possibility of making additional income. I have been very pleasantly surprised at how easy one can tap into the riches that the internet has available for the truly average person, unschooled in technical proficiency. There are multiple venues I have pursued, and I seem to have found a very winning combination of diversity that is proving quite profitable with a very minimal cost to me, other than time and effort, which I am more than willing to devote to reap the rewards I see flowing into my bank account. You too, if you are interested, can easily accomplish what I am doing, and I repeat, internet knowledge is not necessary, only the desire to put energy into the clear and simple learning process along with a little seed money (a hundred or two) will allow you to duplicate and very possibly eclipse my accomplishments.

Working at home on your computer can easily solve your financial problems, as long as you have clear direction and dedication. If Solve your financial problems most of your stress will disappear, however there is always the issue of children, in-laws, neighbors, relatives, etc. that will keep the stress levels from dropping to zero.

For a glimpse at what my Internet business looks like view my business web site and evaluate for yourself. I will welcome ANY questions or comments on any issue pertaining to Health AND Wealth.

Yours for better health and wealth,
Dr. Paul

Growing Your Home Based Business Through Advertising

Growing Your Home Based Business Through Advertising

Having a home based business has many ups and downs. I've experienced both, and I thought that maybe a little direction from my experience would be appreciated. The last thing you want to worry about while trying to figure everything else out is whether or not your home based business is getting enough advertising to make a profit, or possibly having too much advertising to where the costs eats away all your profits.

When it comes to advertising there are several different ways you can do this and some may even work better than others, but the goal is to be sure to reach as many audiences as you can in order to provide yourself the best outcome. In this article I will provide a few different ways you can advertise your home based business and hopefully one, if not more, will work for you.

Newspaper Advertisement

We all have seen how powerful the newspapers are. They cover all the news, good and bad, show job listings, and even advertise businesses. Though this can be quite costly, depending on how big you want the ad to be and how long you want it to run, it is still one of today’s best methods in getting the word out about you, your business and what you can do for the public.

Television Advertisement

This is yet another expensive, yet effective, way to get the word out. Most people in America own a television, or at the very least can find a way to view one. You know as well as I do that when you are right in the middle of the best part of your favorite show, there comes a commercial break. Commercials are where people who run businesses or offer some sort of service tell about their product(s) and try to get you to buy from them or use their services instead of someone else’s. Why not put your service out there for the public to see and decide if it is something they want or need. You might be surprised how many actually watch the commercials. Advertising on cable is probably the most cost effective form of TV advertising.

Internet Advertisement

This seems to be one of the best and most inexpensive ways to get the word out about your business and the product or service you offer. The best part about it is that you can set up your company’s own website, and put whatever it is that you think will help your company. Be sure when doing this though that you keep the information on your company’s website up to date with current information. Example: If you are having a sale but it ends in a week, put the information on there about the sale, but go back in a week and take the info off. You don’t want to advertise something that is not happening as you would have to honor that and may end up losing money in the end. The learning curve on internet advertising can be very challenging to the novice, or one can implement one of the many companies that have complete packages for starting your home based business on the internet. That was my choice, and has proven to be very effective and profitable. My particular recommendation can be found on my personal home based business website noted below. The company I use is professionally managed, has a very successful track record, and a program that is easy to implement for us beginners.
