Entrepreneurship and the Business World
Copyright © Paul Zemella

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?

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
