How is HGH purchased? HGH supplements are accessible in an assortment of forms, including the HGH releaser, which is developed to assist your body extend the production of natural growth hormone. But why should an adult want to include HGH dietary supplements in their everyday regimen? The reasons can be summed up in only a few words, anti aging and higher vitality levels. Since many of us wish to stay younger and HGH is a way to increase energy levels, it just makes sense to find the human growth hormone supplement that works best for you, and then to make it a daily part of your daily existence. You can find HGH dietary supplements in the shape of pills, capsules, powder and even a spray. The array of options for introducing a human grown hormone supplement into your daily programme means that there's something that's likely to work for you. Take time to do a bit of research on the HGH products. You can buy HGH supplements that will fit seamlessly into your lifestyle. What happened next.. This wasn't often the situation. The human growth hormone was fist discovered in the 1950s. It's a protein compound manufactured in the pituitary gland and researchers were quickly at odds over what the role of this special protein was. Two decades would pass by before that query began to be answered. The protein, as researchers discovered, was the reason certain kids grew and physically developed at a normal pace while others remained smaller or grew more obese. It was later discovered that the HGH protein even played roles in boosting energy levels and slowing the aging process. When the idea to supplement the body's natural production of human growth hormone first came to be, the only method for processing was to extract the protein from human cadavers, process it, then insert it to the recipient. It would be several years until a supplement was created to be widely available in tablet, spray or powder configuration. A purpose is the eteal condition for success. There are several points to consider as you're choosing HGH dietary supplements. The construction is clearly one of the most important. If you're the type of person who simply hates to swallow a tablet any tablet you'll likely wish to look at the other options. You can choose a human growth hormone supplement in powder form. Just add it to your moing orange juice and you're ready to take on the day. For those who favour to simply take a pill and be done with it, that's also an option. Another important factor in choosing your origin of HGH dietary supplements is the manufacturer. Like all products of this type, look for a company with a commendable reputation who is willing to rise behind their products. While cost is important, quality is even more so. A reputable company will fuish excellent product descriptions along with proven benefits and potential side effects. If you possess doubts about the HGH products listed on a particular website, proceed on. Actions speak louder than words. But without thought and focus those actions are like a meandering river. Michael Ross. Taking this all into consideration... Finding quality HGH supplements could be just the boost you require to make you feel, act and look younger.

Everything Old Becomes New Again

Posted by Kat Turner | 5:17 AM | 0 comments »

Think that something you have had since you were a teen-ager can't be worth much? Think again! Even if you are only now in your twenties...it won't be long until that dress, purse, tie, jewelry, perfume bottle or sport memorabilia will be sought after. It never ceases to amaze me just what can become the hottest collectible at any given moment...and it never ceases to bring me joy to find that I have it! Right now, I am enjoying watching my daughter get excited over a 'find' that I used to wear or use (and which I had hoped that I would never see again)! The styles and designs that are being lauded as the 'latest thing' all look very similar to the things that my parents abhored and would not allow me to wear - no matter how much I pleaded. They aren't new to anyone over 40 years of age. My mother had sweaters that I begged off of her in the 1970s - because they were from the 1950s and were cool once again. While others were sporting copies - I was wearing 'the real thing'. What do you have that is now on the 'Hot List" of "Cool Stuff"? Well...it just might surprise you. So many times, as I walk through a flea market or antique shop, I over-hear other shoppers saying, "Oh, I used to have one of those"... followed by the sound of disbelief when they look at the price tag ... followed by the words, "I should have kept it!" While it may be difficult to imagine that the toy or book or dish we use today could be worth ten times more than it's original purchase price in the future, it does happen - and here are just a few tips on recognizing a potential treasure: The Maker, Author, Celebrity, etc. - Knowing a bit about who made the item - and when - is always important. Knowing what a person has accomplished and how they stand out in their field is also key. You will probablly want to take care of anything directly linked to someone who is a celebrity due to setting a record - or making a box office smash - especially if they did it despite exceptional odds or if they were able to do it repeatedly...not necessarily while being the most popular or socially accepted among their peers or fans. Of course, we have seen this to be the case, as well, when someone who has had no time to really make much of a history for themselves - become an unforgettable part of history through their untimely death. While unforeseen events often trigger the sudden rise of an items' particular value...timing can be everything when it comes to the collectible market. You've got to"know when to hold 'em and know when to fold 'em". Dates, Signatures and Marks - Know what your item should say (or not say) and what identifies it as the 'real McCoy' - McCoy pottery pieces have many different identifying marks which were used since the company first began...some are very similar in the way they look and some very different. What was made, when it was made and where, being some of the determining factors for which mark was used. Lack of that knowledge has caused more than one disappointment to be sure. Having a treasure right under your nose and letting it go for a quarter or fifty cents when it is worth five dollars or more can leave you with a sick feeling. Tossing away something your Grandfather gave you, because you find it unattractive - only to find that it is irreplaceable is...(well, maybe we shouldn't open up a wound that deep). Keeping something in the best condition possible, is only part of what it takes for an item to be considered valuable. In fact, some things are not required to be in pristene condition...but instead, are expected to have certain wear asssociated with them...however, all items with moving parts, for instance, should have all of their parts and the parts should be working for most to be considered of any worth. We all know to look for signatures, of course, but being sure that a signature is not forged is not always easy - in fact, it is one of the most common mistakes made by enthusiastic collectors. If you are putting out any amount of real cash - get an expert's opinion before committing. With All Of This In Mind..What Do You Have? If you are like most of us, you have things from your past...and somewhere in the future, some of those things are bound to become worth some money. When and just how much...is anybody's guess. Some items are a little more predictable than others, though. The more rare, because of how it was made, or how long the artist created, or the effect of the author's writings on society, or even because of who owned it, are all to be considered. What you don't know can hurt you, financially speaking, and yet the average person can easily be the owner of any number of items that will be valuable tomorrow. If you want to test something out - ask your pre-teen what they think...if they say it's cool hold onto it for a few more years - it's almost certain to be in demand as retro, if nothing else! If you are holding onto something that you believe to be valuable now - don't let someone sell you short...if you don't know enough about the item find someone you can trust to educate you on the item...or educate yourself at your local library - or online. The Inteet is a wealth of information at your fingertips. Everything old truly becomes 'new' again in a new generation's eyes and while chances are you will not get rich off of your past - handing it over to someone for a fair price based on it's true worth - can be a very rewarding way of preserving it!

When my stepdaughter Kristina was in the first grade, she was invited to her first slumber party. Her friend Diane, the social butterfly, invited practically all the girls in the class. For two weeks the hot topic at Singing River Elementary School was, What would it be like to sleep away from home? Who could handle it? Who might crack under the pressure? When my husband and I picked up Kristina up the moing after, we asked, "Well? Was it fun? Did anyone get scared? Anyone call their parents?" "The only one who got scared was Diane." "At her own party? Why?" "She told us ghost stories. And then SHE was awake all night." Kristina rolled her eyes. "She thinks ghosts are real." Kids aren't the only ones who tell themselves scary stories-and believe them. When you have a partner, a child, a colleague, or a boss who's driving you crazy, chances are that it's not what they are actually doing that's getting under your skin. It's your story. One kind of story that can cause a lot of havoc in a relationship is an all or nothing story. Have you ever felt restless and bored as you looked at your calendar and realized you have no social events planned? And then sighed to yourself, "We live such a boring life. We never do anything fun." Well, it's possible that you are the only couple on the planet who absolutely NEVER does anything fun. But chances are that you are completely forgetting about that movie you went to two weeks ago. It's probably more realistic to say that you're not getting out as much as you would like to. But if you convince yourself that your whole life is boring, you (and your partner) could end up feeling too demoralized to take action to pep up your social life! Or, say your husband is mad because while you were tidying up the kitchen, you accidentally buried that important report from work that he's been looking for. You think, "I'm always causing trouble for him. I must be a real drag to live with. I don't even know why he wants to be with me." Now you're prepped to see any complaint by your husband as a sign that he doesn't want to be with you. You'll probably react with anger that's out of proportion to the situation. And things will go downhill pretty quickly from there. In reality, your husband can be absolutely furious with you at this moment and still love you to pieces. In fact, it's the most natural thing in the world. Life isn't black or white; it comes in all shades of grey. And all or nothing stories are every bit as imaginary as children's ghost stories. The next time you're upset with your partner, stop and look for those words ALWAYS and NEVER. As in: I'm always the one who does the dishes or She's never on time. That's the tip-off that you're telling an all or nothing story. You may have a problem to solve, but it'll be a lot easier if you get the facts first. And leave the ghost stories to the kids. P.S. To lea more about how understanding ghost stories can improve all the relationships in your life, check out the seminar below. My Two Cents ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Two weeks ago, the Iowa state Senate passed a bill that would cut the waiting period for a marriage license from 20 days to 3 days for couples who go to pre- marital counseling. The bill is right in step with a current trend-state initiatives to reduce divorce through pre-marital education and counseling. Florida and Minnesota have reduced marriage license fees for those who take a pre-marital education course. Arizona created a "marriage handbook," and funds marriage-skills courses for low-income couples. Forty states now fund some kind of marriage-related services. As a provider of pre-marital counseling, you might expect that I'd be in favor of these measures. After all, recent research evidence shows that pre-marital counseling can strengthen a relationship by 30%. And no doubt many of these programs will do a lot of good. Couples who wouldn't otherwise think about counseling or who couldn't afford it will get some much-needed skills. And they very well could save their marriage. In spite of these possible benefits, I believe the govement should stay out of the pre-marital counseling business. Offering incentives is a slippery slope. The next step could be establishing requirements. And guess what? The govement makes mistakes when it makes lifestyle recommendations. It could easily throw its weight behind programs that are a waste of money. Or have unforeseen consequences. I applaud the renewed value we are giving to marriage and the increased conce about preventing divorces. And I applaud the growing trend of couples choosing to go to counseling. But I vote that pre-marital counseling remain just that-a completely free choice. How to Get Along With Anyone ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you have a partner, child, colleague, or boss who is driving you crazy, this class is for you. You'll lea how to catch yourself telling stories that sabotage relationships. You'll also get a template for problem- solving, a script for 'hard talks,' and tips for making yourself understood. Getting a grip on your stories is truly the way to get along with anyone and everyone in your life.

Is there something wrong with being FEMALE, ATTRACTIVE, and SINGLE in today's society? As of late, I am beginning to feel as though being "appealing to the eye", or most recently referred to as "EYE CANDY" (to me, it's an unfortunate that this is how I am frequently referred to lately), is quickly becoming my downfall. The unmitigated nerve of the men today to view a single woman who just happens to be engaging AND unattached as having something WRONG with her because she is not in a relationship is preposterous! Is it HER fault that there are more single available men in the world who happen to be let's just say, "not worthy of?" Let's face it, the pickings are slim! Castigate me for wanting to "wait" until I meet a man who has his head AND his emotions in the right position at the same time. In my opinion, this is where juxtaposition is of the utmost importance. This is the way I'm receiving what prospective beaus are telling me: If you're single, hardworking, ambitious and unattractive, then it's okay. But if you have all of the aforementioned qualities and just happen to be attractive, then it's an issue. Something MUST be wrong with the WOMAN who is single AND attractive. Tell me. What sense does THAT make? Attractive women have the right to be choosy don't they? Must they settle for the sake of "saving face", or adhering to a fallacy that men and women of ignorance have incorrectly created? My friend John said to me a few weeks ago, "You're single and there is something wrong with that picture. But the responsibility lies more so on the shoulders of men than on the attractive single woman. He continued, "A woman like you should NEVER be single". There are men out here but there aren't enough good ones to choose from," He concluded. Well you know what? John was sooo right. Let me drop some knowledge on you regarding some of the remarks and the caliber of man that I meet on the regular. Maybe afterwards you'll see why I remain single. A few months ago, I met a guy a few years younger than I whom outwardly gave the appearance of being someone that I thought I wanted to pursue me. After spending a few weeks with him I realized that he was trying to live up to MY expectation of the type of man that I wanted as opposed to being the type of man he KNEW he already was. He had a sex life that I couldn't see myself being into (although I am game to try anything ONCE), he didn't have his own apartment (even though he was well into his thirties), he hadn't had a steady job in a few months and he hadn't taken care of certain financial responsibilities that I knew an accountable man would have. When I told him that I wanted to end the relationship, his response was, "I see why you're single". I am not in the business to ego stroke so I took that remark with a grain, a tiny grain, a teeny weenie microscopic grain, of salt and moved on. Let me say this, I have been known to remain in relationships a little longer then I should so when I finally "step off", there is no reason for me to backtrack or second-guess my action. More importantly, if a man tells me that he is NOT interested, then I am quickly searching for my hat so that I can GET LOST! Shortly thereafter, I met a man, closer to my age, who again outwardly gave the appearance of being someone that I wanted a relationship with and quickly bumrushed me by telling me that he wanted to marry me before even knowing WHO I was, how I lived, or anything concrete about me prior to making a serious decision like that. Further, and you can call me wrong, shallow, off the chain or however you want to describe me, I cannot for the life of me entertain a relationship with a man, ANY man who can't understand simple words when I relate them to him. If you read something that I've written, have to ask me to define every-other-word as I speak to you, can barely read a sentence without stopping to s-l-o-w-l-y pronounce each word that has more then three letters, then YOU ARE CLEARLY NOT THE MAN FOR ME!!!!!!!!!! This summer I met a man (on a blind date no less) who told me that he wanted a woman who takes care of her body, has her head on right (although he never defined HIS definition of having her head on right), a woman who has ambition and wants something out of life (he never clarified this one either). At first site, this was the date from hell because THIS guy had a belly that looked like Santa Claus', his mouth looked so raggedy he obviously didn't even know what a dentist was, and he smelled like sleep! How could he tell me what he wants in a woman and not expect me to request that my guy equal his own demand? Finally, I met a clever, gorgeously attractive, funny man. I thoroughly enjoyed being in his company. That is, when I was given the infrequent opportunity to barely SEE him. Each time we made plans for a date, he stood me up (this happened three times during various intervals until I realized I was being an idiot and stepped off). But then he'll call me at a later date, and tell me he fell asleep or some other nonsense. Once I hadn't heard from him all weekend, but I'm supposed to believe that this guy is interested AND unattached? Plaaeeze! Let me continue. So he asks me continuously, "Why are you by yourself?" He even told me that when a woman is single and attractive that there must be something wrong with her. Can you believe this madness? When I told him I am alone because I am not willing to settle he then replies with, "Yeah, I know what you're gonna do. You're gonna get me to fall in love with you then you're going to treat me badly and then dump me". He continued with, "I am afraid of you but you're perfect for me." Later, and by his own admission, he told me that the problem (justifying why we weren't an item yet), rested entirely upon HIS shoulders. Okay, who has the baggage and dysfunction here? Unless I am to have a relationship with myself what am I supposed to do BUT remain single? YOU, reading this, tell me what am I supposed to do at this point? Other than determine that these men are not for me and continually move on I am at a loss. I tell ya, the men that I meet and the responses that I get from them makes me want to raise my hands to the heavens and just HOLLA!! Yet, I am blamed for the shortcomings of the very men that encourage me to remain footloose and fancy-free. A relative said to me, "You should be able to have one really good relationship on this earth before you die." I agree with him wholeheartedly, but given the quality of men I meet when I DO meet them, being single doesn't seem that bad. This is my disclosure: I brave to "tell" on the shameful men out there who fail to have their game tight when they meet a woman distinguishable from the rest. We exist, we yea, we cry, we get lonely and we don't want to be single, but we are NOT willing to compromise for less than what we KNOW we deserve in a mate. We want a solid relationship just like anyone else. But we refuse to settle our moralistic values for the likes of a man who cannot handle or appreciate the strong and the uniquely small number of women who decidedly save themselves for a man, as rare as he may be, that is meritorious of our love, devotion and R-E-S-P-E-C-T. These women are few and far between but once a man has had the pleasure of an encounter with her, he will forever relish her essence and charm. These women are not easily forgotten! Let me ever so brazenly "tell" the testosterone of America to "MAN UP" and take a stand for your shortcomings. It 's time to stop blaming women because we have been forced to live our lives "on the solo tip" for years, due to negative or dysfunctional circumstances about YOU that YOU won't address, won't admit or refuse to see. By not being WHOLE men you oust the female's choice for a remote possibility of having a MAN'S MAN in her life. I challenge you so called MEN to "TAKE BACK" your rank and stop compelling women to be more of a man as a WOMAN, than you'll EVER be as a MAN! Now run disclose that! (c) 2005 by C. V. Harris.

In a magazine publication, the magazine editor knows stress intimately. Working against ever-looming deadlines, she spends her days in and out of meetings, editing and writing copy, and managing her expanding staff of writers and editors. It may seem inevitable that operating the command center of a monthly magazine would invite stress. However, many people do not realize that stress is something you can prevent, no matter how intense your occupation or how fast-paced your daily life is. And, every ounce of prevention can help prevent other conditions. In general, working too hard and almost buing yourself out would directly lead to stress. It is not an ideal upshot because stress can inevitably lead to dozens of physical ailments, from heart disease to dizziness, and it undermines our mental health as well. Stress can lead to depression, anxiety, irritability, and other emotional problems. So, to prevent stress and to avoid buing yourself out that your body tends to fuse out and releases no more energy because of its condition, take some tips o how to live a healthy, stress-free life. 1. Lighten the load Are you one of those people who have no downtime? Do you go from work to home to your volunteer position or children�s activities, leaving no time for your pleasures? Then you may be on overload. Overload is being active without ever attending to your human needs. Health experts say that everyone needs true downtime to relax and recover. Downtime refers to the time you do not have to answer to anyone, when you have no responsibilities. It is that time when you garden, read a mystery novel, go for a walk, or lose yourself in gourmet-food preparation. 2. Divide the hours Doing multitasking or handling multiple responsibilities, many people run around like rats in a maze, completely forgetting their own needs. Set the time for individual tasks, and plan for interruptions or distractions. Try to recognize your needs and care for yourself. Even the busiest person can find 15 minutes every day to be alone. 3. Find your optimum time Lea to know your individual rhythm and plan the day accordingly. 4. Take time-outs Stop everything, curb your activities, and take a deep breath. You will generate superior judgments when you are not doing it from a harried state. 5. Get help If you cannot handle all the work, admit it, do not bu yourself out, and begin delegating immediately. 6. Do a stress rehearsal�with exercise! According to the health experts, exercise plays a key role in minimizing the damage that stress does to our health. It acts as a stress rehearsal for other kinds of stress. If the body gets used to dealing with the flood of hormones that are released during exercise, then it leas to respond better to all kinds of stress in the future. Exercise also triggers the release of endorphins, brain chemicals associated with pain relief and euphoria. Endorphin levels rise significantly both in the brain and in the body as a result of exercise. When we make exercise a constant in our lives, our elevated endorphin levels can make us calmer. 7. Breathe easy Yoga increases self-awareness and makes us acutely sensitive to physiological and psychological stressors in our lives. If you can perceive the source of stress early on, then you can intervene with deep breathing, which is an important component of yoga. IN fact, yoga experts contend that breathing interventions is worth gold. 8. Let nature nurture you Nature can be a tremendous aid in preventing stress. And you can find nature in some unexpected places: the plant store, a local park, or even outside your own office. Some simple suggestions: Fill your home and work space with lush, living plants; put a fish tank in your office; stroke your pets at least 15 minutes every day; and walk outdoors on your lunch hour instead of hanging around the office or lunchroom. Best of all, lea to say no to new responsibilities when your plate is already full. One of the main reasons why people feel but out or stressed is that they take on too many tasks at once and underestimate how much time they will need to complete them. The bottom line here is that if you were only more realistic in estimating how much time they need to spend on certain activities, they would probably feel less stress and less bu out. Try to live a happy and healthy life and rev up that energy!

Choosing The Right Shoe For You

Posted by Kat Turner | 12:12 AM | 0 comments »

Choosing The Right Shoe For You. A Well Known Fact There is no better feeling than when you are wearing a comfortable shoe. Comfortable shoes allow us to enjoy the day's activities pain free. Wearing shoes that fit properly can also prevent potential health problems from occurring. When To Buy Most shoes can last an average of three to twelve months. As you begin to wear out a shoe, you begin to notice a difference in comfort. Wo out shoes can cause back pain, sore knee joints, or aching feet. The time to replace your shoes is when the cushion has broken down or the motion control has been lost. Which Shoes To Buy? Everyone's foot is different. The best shoe for you is the one that gives you the proper fit, support, cushioning, and flexibility. Choose a well-cushioned stability shoe that compensates for any irregularities in your foot or your stride. Some Common Foot Irregularities: High Arched Feet A high arched foot does not roll inward very much at all. There is a highly curved arch along the inside of the foot. Also, the toes appear to be in a clawed position. Highly arched feet are very rigid and are unable to absorb shock when making contact with the ground. The reason for this is that the foot is not able to roll inward when the foot makes contact with the ground. This lack of pronation can cause heel, knee, shin, and back problems. Inserting special pads in the shoes, which compensate for this condition, treats highly arched feet. The pads allow the feet to absorb shock more easily. People with high arched feet, should try to stay away from stability or motion control shoes, which reduce foot mobility. Flat Feet The term "Flat Feet" refers to people who have a low arch, or no arch at all. Sometimes they are said to have "fallen arches". Most people's feet have a space on the inner side when the bottom of the foot comes in contact with the ground. This is called the arch. The height of the arch varies in size from one person to another. Flat Feet are generally a hereditary condition. The best shoe for this condition would be a motion control or stability shoe with a firm midsole. Over or Under Pronation. Over pronation is the excessive inward rolling motion of the foot. This inward motion is considered unhealthy because it can cause a great deal of strain on the back, ankles, knees, and lower legs. Over pronation can cause shin splints, plantar fasciitis, and IT band syndrome. Under pronation occurs when the outside of the foot takes the brunt of the shock when coming in contact with the ground. This condition can cause problems with the ligaments in your feet and ankles. Stability shoes feature either a dual density midsole or a roll bar to help combat pronation problems. Some Helpful Shoe Buying Tips: � Shop late in the day. Feet tend to swell as the day goes on. Shoes purchased in the moing will feel tight during by afteoon. � Shop for shoes with your health and comfort in mind. Your foot size changes every year. Always measure your foot first. This should give you a general range when considering different styles of shoes. Choose shoes that are shaped like your foot. � Check to see how the sole feels on the bottom of your foot. It should have a soft and supportive cushion. People with high arches generally need more support. � Stand up and take a quick walk to get a feel for the shoe. Your feet shouldn't slide around inside and there should be little bit of room beyond the largest toe. But no more than 1/2 inch. Remember: You should never have to "break in" a tight shoe.

How do you Cope

A few years ago, before the bubble burst on inteet stocks, the chairman of the Federal Reserve, Alan Greenspan lost money on his personal investments because he `didn't understand this new economy'. Question: Are you coping on the inteet and with all its changes and challenges? 1. Balance is the key If you find the inteet stressful and feel like you are being left behind, make sure that you have a `slow-change' area of your life. Golf, a book, gardening are ways to stabilise your personal life which helps to integrate change without stress overload. 2. Think of the Future Set a goal in your head to where you want to be in five years. This can put everything in perspective as you see your online business over time growing and your knowledge expanding. Realize that God wants everything you put your hand to, to succeed. So walk on in the confidence that you can meet any challenge. 3. What to do now Explore new partnerships and alliances with other similar minded people. Most people would be happy and willing to swap ezine articles, ad space, hints and tips. The marketing `guru' may be out of your reach but there are plenty of people that are just starting out. Remember there tens of thousands of people joining the Inteet every day. Many of them are aware of, or have been stung by, one of the numerous Inteet scams. Most have been disillusioned by hyped money-making schemes. The only way to overcome this obstacle is to build credibility. This takes time and effort, but it is the key to long-term success in Inteet business.

Don t Give Up Your Day Job

Someone called me the other day and talked about how he is going to need to make some money soon and wanted to start up a web site. I explained that the two concepts did not necessarily go together. My advice? Well, for what it�s worth, I would say forget everything you ever knew about brick and mortar businesses and start all over again. A solid business plan for a web business is really going to elude you until you get in there and get your feet wet first. It ain�t that easy. There are a lot more people selling get rich quick packages than there are people getting rich. You must surf and read, surf and read, surf and read. After a few months figure out who does have some real business credibility and follow that person and the links he or she connects to. Do something you know how to do and dissect it until you can find a niche. Starting a web business without the basic knowledge of whatever business you pick is fool hardy at best. Don�t pay for information you can get for free. Those first months of surfing should give you some pretty good leads. Don�t go it alone. Find a friend, mentor or relative to bounce ideas off of. Be open to honest feedback. You know who will give you honest opinions and who will not. I love my relatives but we will never be in business together. Study the business you want to get into and how it works on the web. Research the concept, develop a rough plan and refine as you continue to research. Plan, plan, plan. Don�t touch your retirement savings. Take a look at a real business plan, (you can find them free on the web) and start sketching in your ideas. Revise it at least ten times. Be realistic about money. It�s expensive to market anything on the web, -you�ll need to lea to find additional ways to get the word out. Spend much of your free time in bookstores or libraries perusing books on marketing, sales, web design, budgeting, time management and personal success stories. I think book stores tend to have more of the most current stuff as far as web marketing is conceed. Build an alteate plan for your business plan. Make a contingency plan. Make a goal sheet with target dates. What do you (your name) need to lea more about in order to operate on the web in addition to your craft? Web design? Marketing? Search Engines? Self promotion? Again, follow the leaders � err on the conservative side and stay objective. Can you sell? Selling your goods, selling yourself, and selling your credibility is more important for the success of any web business than you can imagine right now. You might want to make an appointment with a person at SCORE at the Small Business Administration. They have all been through the fire, can give you realistic feedback, show you how to develop a business plan and where to look for financing. Don�t give up your dream. But don�t give up your day job yet either. This work is the original work of the author and is copyrighted 2005.
