What do you think are some of the more common things that people look for when they consider starting their own home business? Due to the failing economy and all the people that are being layed off more people than ever are looking to the internet to start a home business. So what do you think are some of the more popular work from home ideas that people look to when trying to start up their own business from within the walls of their own home?

One work from home business idea that is usually at the top of people‘s list is to get in on a franchise. Work from home business franchises are actually pretty popular and there are a lot of them that have been around for a while and have a pretty good reputation as home based franchises. For example you have Jani-Pro and Jani-King which if you can’t tell by their names are janitorial cleaning services that are run by individuals in their homes. These services have become quite successful cleaning office buildings, exercise gyms, schools, department stores and malls. Imagine all  the places just in your town that probably use one of these home business franchises to clean their location or another service that is similar.

Another popular thing that has really taken off for home based business franchise is pet care or pet grooming. We adore our pets so much so that they are usually treated as part of the family. Unfortunately for a lot of us though we find that we have little time to give our pets the proper care that we know they deserve. So in those difficult times when your days are running short on time and your pet needs some TLC who do people call? Pet sitters, dog walkers, poop scooper’s and mobile pet groomers these are all examples of home base business franchises that have vaulted to the top of popularity in just the last few years.

For those of you that are handy around the house either through your knowledge of plumbing, construction or painting skills a couple of popular services that are good start up home base business franchises are Mr. Handyman or Rooter-Man. Again these are services that appeal to people that have neither the time or energy to do these little things around the home.

I described just a few ideas all of which were easy to find online. A good site that most people who want to start their own work from home business is the site entrepreneur dot com. One of the best resources for work at home business ideas as well as a cool website to find out what work from home franchises are doing well and more importantly are legit. There are a lot more work at home business ideas listed at that site that I did not even touch on but think about all the people that really want to stay at home and really work from home?

That is where the online world comes in and all that it has to offer to people looking to work a home business. A couple of the more popular things that we tend to go for in the online world of work at home business is selling stuff on eBay, affiliate marketing or even blogging. These are all very popular in terms of people attempting to make a living off an online home based business. Probably your first question is how many of them are truly “successful” at working an online work at home business? This point is very debatable and depending on what you want to believe to you will get varying opinions on how successful a certain online work at home business can be. When you look at people that blog and say that they earn a living doing it all from the comfort of their own home. The odds are that they want to sell you something to be just as successful as they are writing blogs away from the comfort of their own homes. Most of the times those people are successful in their online home blogging because they are really good at selling products to you and people like you that promise to show you all you need to know about how they succeeded and how you can do it to.

Why does blogging for money from the comfort of your own home seem like such an appealing online home based business to so many people? I think because it comes down to cost and even though the majority of those home base franchise businesses that you just read about can be done from your house they still all cost a good amount of cash in start up cost. Where as a blog can be done by anyone from anywhere for free and it’s not to hard to try something for free.

A couple of ideas for those of you thinking about a new start in your life with your very own home base business. Beginning a work at home business from home is not something to be considered with out some careful planning because a work from home base business is something that appeals to almost everyone at some point in their lives.

You might remember him from Shallow Hal as that really tall guy on the elevator, who helps Hal get over his superficial obsession with hot women, but Tony Robbins is best known as a motivational speaker, life coach, NLP trainer, and a prolific author of several books on personal empowerment. He has also developed several programs focused on helping people to achieve their personal goals. Programs such as “Personal Power” and “Personal Power II” along with “Get the Edge” all of which are available in audio formats that can be purchased online or at your local bookstore.

Mr. Robbins has a dynamic personality that can electrify a room and the people in it. Anyone who has attended one of his conferences on personal empowerment has witnessed his electrifying performance first hand. Many of them report having had an especially moving experience while attending a conference unlike any other. He is a strong proponent of visionary strategies, such as, “see it, believe in your power to do it, and then do it.”

One unique strategy for personal empowerment endorsed by Tony Robbins is firewalking. This involves walking across heated coals without socks and shoes to protect the feet from the heat of the coals. People are able to walk across these very hot coals without incurring burns to their feet because they program their mind and body not to sense or react to the heat of the coals.

Walking barefoot across smoldering coals may not be something you would ever consider doing. However, it is truly remarkable that firewalking without injury is even possible with the implementation of mind over matter thinking. If you have the chance to attend a firewalking event, it certainly promises to be quite an interesting experience to say the least.

The firewalk experience was added to the lessons that Tony teaches in order to help people find and use their personal empowerment to achieve life goals through his formulation of neuro-associative conditioning therapy. This is largely based on the concepts of neuro-linguistic programming concepts which Tony has studied extensively.

NLP is a holistic approach to reprogramming mental connections to produce alternative brain connectivity and experiences, meaning that through NLP techniques you can change how you visualize the world around you and your place in it. Your vision of the world and of yourself can become clouded and this can prevent you from acheiveing your goals. NLP therapy can clear your field of vision for a more accurate assessment of the things that are happening in your life so that your reactions to them are appropriate to the situation. Central to what Tony teaches is his strong belief that life achievements can only occur through the active particpation of a person. People can choose to actively pursue achievements or they can just let life happen to them and accept whatever crumbs may come their way.

Tony Robbins‘ holistic approach to personal empowerment has expanded to include other holistic appraches to living. These include, maintaining a diet of natural foods and using natural supplements for added nutritional support, exercise, and avoiding harmful substances such as alchohol and tobacco. He has also developed a line of natural supplements known as Inner Balance. The name of his product line stems from his belief that balancing the body from within through the use of natural supplements will also balance your life.

Sharing his knowledge of self empowerment with others is extremely important to Tony. He devotes a great amount of his time teaching young people his techniques for empowerment to help give them an early start in achieving their life goals. Tony has even developed programs for use in prisons so that inmates can change their lives before re-entering society as free citizens.

There are those who are critical of Tony and his teachings; they claim that achievements are not made possible through the use of personal empowerment techniques. However, the large number of people who have found personal empowerment to be important in the achievement of their life goals strongly disagree with any criticism aimed at Tony Robbins.

I’m a big believer in modeling successful people. I do the best I can to surround myself with the right people and go as deep as I can in their work. It’s not just enough for me to read a book or watch a video. I want to spend time with them on a deeper level. Discover their nuances, their strategies and how they think. The challenge with this approach is that the more in demand the person is the harder it is to get access.

One of the guys I really wanted to spend an extended period of time with and go more ‘vertical’ with was Tony Robbins. The first step I took was to take an Unlimited Power Weekend. It’s his crazy over the top walk on hot coals (really) weekend. It was fantastic and definitely changed me. It’s a 3 day seminar that goes for 12 hours per day and you just about never sit down. Imagine the best rock concert you have ever been to that you don’t want to end.

As much as I loved UPW I was left jonesin’ for more! I decided to go a level deeper and sign up for Date with Destiny. DWD is 12 hours a day for seven days with this lunatic! And, it aint cheap -$5,495 per ticket. When you do the math on two tickets (for me and Kim) with airfare and hotel it definitely becomes a ‘put your money where your mouth is’ kind of thing. To give you a feel for who this guy is, here’s a snippet of Tony getting intense with Al Gore at the TED conference (it’s a great 20 min video but if you want to skip to the Al Gore part start at about minute 16).

There’s about 2000 people that show up for DWD. When you cue up to register you’ll see a very well organized process that looks like a Broadway performance- dancers included. The event begins that afternoon and includes people lining up at the doors to get a good seat hours before the event begins. When the doors open you walk into a huge ballroom with 10,000 watts of music power banging into your chest. You’ll find a dark room filled with smoke machines, rock concert worthy lighting in full tilt and everyone up on their chairs dancing. This isn’t a “let’s wait until the third day of the event to let our hair down” kind of thing. This is “let’s party” from the nano second you walk in the joint.

Prior to walking in the room I was trying to figure out how anyone could hold my attention for 12 hours a day for seven days in a row. Now, I get it. In fact, the seminar is so engaging that when you have to go to the bathroom you run as fast as you can and on your return ask the guy next to you what you missed. There were days when I looked up at the clock and realized that it was 5 p.m. and we haven’t even stopped for lunch. Here’s an example (from someone’s rogue video) of a ‘break’ at the event designed to help keep you awake.

Each of the 7 days of the event cover various areas of training. If you want a more complete list of how that breaks down you can get it here. It’s hard for me to pick my favorite section but if I had to pick one I would say it’s the masculine feminine section. Tony takes traditional relationship strategies and flips it on it’s head. He shows you how the average American man has (in some cases) gone from a Clark Gable masculine man in the 50′s to a Khaki pants wearing p***y in the 2000′s. He also explains how women have (in some cases) slid from sexy and feminine to a more masculine version of themselves.

It’s next to impossible for me to fully describe over 70 hours of content. Trust me when I tell you it was totally worth it and that I would do it again (actually I did do it again). I just believe that it’s critical who we ‘hang out’ and ‘surround’ ourselves with. Don’t get me wrong I am by no means a Tony Robbins drink the purple Kool-Aid groupie. His stuff is just that life changing and worth the time and money that I wanted to share it. It has certainly changed mine without a doubt.

His diverse set of companies actually fosters most of his advocacies and also serves as the vehicle to reach a lot of people in different ways. His business success gave him the authority to be a consultant for other successful entrepreneurs who are looking to him to help make critical decisions for their companies.

Through him many have learned that the hardest goals can be accomplished by following simple philosophies and having the will to act on it. Tony Robbins is definitely an inspiration to people who are seeking financial freedom and purpose-driven lifestyle.

Who Does God Reveal Himself Too?

The great question “Why” has forever been upon the lips of man as he ponders his own existence. Those few who have been able to answer this question were quietly passed by, unheeded, in the struggle for survival. The whys of the world is why we seek answers. Why is easy, God experiences Himself through His creation. He reveals himself to himself by experiencing himself. Sound, far fetched? Think about it. Who is God revealing himself to? Why would he have to reveal himself to anyone or anything? God is self contained, self motivated, in need of nothing, continually creating, and formulates all the rules. He doesn’t need to impress anyone, has no spouse or enemies – woe you say, what about Satan? Ha, nothing exist outside God, so God created Satan to complete his own experience. The fact is, good can’t exist without bad, there would be no reference point – one has to exist for the other to exist.

What Is The Meaning Of Life?

Why brings the question of What. What is the meaning of life in the first place? Why create life extending into the future without purpose? Scholars, Professors, Theologians, great Religious leaders, have pondered this question from the dawn of time yet, no one can agree on its true meaning. Man is the catalyst, the go between, the deciding factor. Man decides, and creates an effect while God experiences the result.

Man struggles along the path of life with a heavy heart and bleeding feet only to find in the end the grave awaits. He harbors resentment, a sense of incompetence which besets his every avenue; and in his blind groping he lifts his hands in speechless anguish, and his weary cries stir the air with supplications to an apparently unheeding God. Where art thou oh Lord? Why do you forsake me in my hour of testing? And man shakes his fist at a God he no longer understands, because he is no longer willing to surrender. Man has become disconnected, disengaged in God’s creation. His greatest achievement gone astray, turned inward, crippled in his own self calamity.

Why Do People Have To Suffer?

Why the suffering, the sorrow, the sin, the sickness and a lifetime of trouble, only to be met at last by the grim and sinister tomb? Why are people destitute, troubled and unforgiving? Who can comfort in the loss of a child or see solace in the eyes of a dieing mother. Why do people inflict pain on each other for personal gain? And the tomb awaits, silent, cold, steadfast for man’s last performance.

Why, why, why? Man seeks wisdom only to discover foolishness; he seeks the learned only to find a lack of wisdom. Why, why, why? His cry has appeared to go forth into an empty void.

A Cry From The Soul

But wait! from somewhere within, a whisper of an answer comes, some subtle inner sense of things; some unknown presence has surfaced to give an answer as a still small voice speaks, “Man, know thyself.” And the inner man, gently prompts and prods as man goes wandering along in his own self indulgence. God has not turned away from man, it is man who has turned away from God. And God silently grieves for the finest in his creation.

Is The Natural Man Lost?

The Instinctive (natural) Man has again spoken and told this lost creature to search more deeply into his own nature; the soul; to look deep within himself for the answer to life. Enter the closet and seek God’s answers for the hour has come in the progress of man when he can understand this voice and do its bidding. And if you are right with God, the answers will come, although at times, they will not be the ones you sought.

Mat 6:6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

We no longer have to cry in torment, we Know. We no longer need to ask if there is a God, or if we dare to speak to Him; we do not analyze, dissect, affirm, or deny, We know. We trust in God because first we “Know in whom we have believed.” The sooner the one who is seeking realizes that truth must be revealed through his own soul, and not that of another, the sooner he will attain solace.

Is It Right To Prosper?

Health, happiness and Success belongs to the children of God because they are the heirs of God’s promise. If His created creature has indeed become His adopted children then they have dominion over the creation through His promise. It is mankind who has dominion over the earth and everything in it, not Satan.

For sin shall not have dominion of dominance over you: for you enact the law through his grace.

What about life, how do you, as a God fearing person overcome worldly temptations? How do you fit in with non-believing family members, co-workers, friends, and the rest of the world? First off, let’s look at the makeup of man and the areas he must master to be a true Achiever.

“He who makes himself a sheep will be eaten by the wolves”

In the next article we will delve deeper into the mysteries of life as they impact the makeup of a believer. We will take one more step into the uncovering of the human spirit/soul connection and its importance as a broader, deepening of understanding within a material/spirit world.
