________________
 
 
YOU ARE WHAT YOU THINK
 
Whatever you plant in your subconscious
mind and nourish everyday with conviction
and emotion will one day become a reality.
 
Constant repetition carries conviction.
Repeat something often enough and it
will start to become you. A change in
what you tell yourself will result in a
change in your behavior.
 
What you impress upon your mind,
you'll inevitably become. Self suggestion
will make you master of yourself.

2.) BIZ-NOTE FROM THE EDITOR
______________________________
 
 
Hello Exchangers,
 
 
A "Warm Welcome" to all our new subscribers.
 
Who said things get easier when the kids go back to school?
Well, I wonder what planet they came from.  My 7 year old son
has got me running in every direction.  And because
he is the only one in school (my 2 year old is too young
to get involved in extra curricular activities), I feel
I have to be a part of every aspect of my son's activities.
So, I now volunteer for 2 hours at school once a week.
Not too bad at all.  And his teacher asked me to be a room-parent.
That doesn't take too, too much time. Just a lot of organizing
for celebrations.  Then, 3 days a week of Karate is a bit exhausting
when added to the other 2 things I do. But now we have signed
up for Cub Scouts.  I thought, "Heck, why not, it is only twice
a month, plus one camp-out a month.  It should be fun."
Then, next thing I know, I am the Den Leader, which means about
3 extra meetings a month, plus tons and tons of organizing. And
we just happen to have the biggest DEN ever in our district for
Tiger Cubs.  Have I mentioned that I own my own business, too?
 
So, when do I have time for ME?  I will tell you when....
The year 2020.  That's when both my kids head for college. 
Thank Goodness for CLAIROL!
 
Onto some business....

==================
7 Keys That Helped Me Leave the "Rat Race" for Cyberspace
Copyright Marty Foley, ProfitInfo.com
==================
 
 
On Friday, Aug. 28th, 1998, I finally achieved what I had
dreamed about and worked toward for some time.
 
No, cashing that week's paycheck wasn't what I had been
keenly anticipating... Leaving a job I hated in order to
work for myself full-time in cyberspace was the dream goal
I had finally achieved!
 
The goal of leaving the "rat race" and calling the shots in
one's own profitable business - online or off - is common
to many people. At times it even reaches the point of
desperation. Some waste thousands of dollars in an elusive
attempt to reach it.
 
If running your own successful online business is a goal
you'd also like to reach, I empathize with your situation.
I'll share some tips in this article that helped me "leave
the rat race" for my own online business, which may also
help you.
 
Even if you've already achieved self-employment, maybe some
tips I share can help increase the profitability of your
existing business, online or off.
 
Keys To Leaving The Rat Race
 
1) Being a doer, not just a dreamer.
 
One of my favorite sayings is: "When all is said than done,
more is said than done." It's easy to dream and talk about
our goals, but we won't get anywhere until we take decisive
action.
 
Before I built a successful online business, I did more
dreaming and telling others about my goal than I took
action toward reaching it. Finally combining my dreams
with action, however, was the only thing that worked.
 
Caution: Don't confuse taking decisive action with making
rash decisions. Temper your willingness to act with sound
reasoning and knowledgeable decisions, based on sufficient
research.
 
2) Effective time management.
 
Time certainly means money in the business world. The
ability to manage your time effectively is an asset that
can repay you many times over, in both your business and
personal life.
 
Getting maximum productivity from your time is even more
crucial if you're working a full-time job at the same time
you're building your own business.
 
Back when I worked for an employer, workdays usually
dragged by. Now I find that working for myself, time just
breezes by and I often wonder where the time went!
 
At one point, I was making money in my own business while
holding down my full-time regular job, but not enough to
live on. Moreover, I needed more time than I had available
in my spare hours to pursue things I felt would increase
profits.
 
I then decided to cut back on the hours at my regular job,
which my employer agreed to because he didn't want me to
quit.
 
This allowed time to expand my business faster and made
the transition to going full-time in it easier. If you
can't or don't want to quit your job "cold turkey,"
consider a similar strategy.
 
3) Knowledge of your field.
 
You don't have to be an expert in your business field when
first starting out. You can grow as you go, but plan on
keeping abreast of developments in your field. Do so long
enough and you'll become an expert. You can also team up
with others who have needed expertise you may be lacking.
 
4) Persistence.
 
Despite the hype sometimes used to try to sell "instant,
lazy-man's way to riches" types of products, success in
business rarely comes easily or overnight. Fact is, it
takes persistent effort and plain old fashioned work. Be
wary of promises to the contrary.
 
I empathize with those that must commute 5 or more days
a week to a job they don't like. However, that can be a
plus. It was a strong motivation for me to persist at my
own business until I went full-time. Whatever your own
motivations to persist may be, they will prove useful.
 
Tip: It will be much easier to persist if you select a
field of business that you like, as opposed to pursuing
something just for the money. Then your work can be fun,
not drudgery.
 
5) Focus on presenting solutions, not just on selling
products and services.
 
I'm a believer in the business philosophy of "succeeding
by helping others succeed." Focusing on helping clients
solve their problems and achieve their goals through your
products and services contributes more toward long-term
success than just focusing on "selling" them products
and services.
 
6) Self-discipline.
 
Now that my "office" is just a few steps away when I awake
in the morning, it's easy to sleep in. With no boss to
"crack a whip" over you as a self-employed entrepreneur,
self-discipline is definitely needed. Since likely no one
will see that things get done but yourself, you need to be
a self-starter.
 
7) Marketing skills.
 
Regardless of what business you're in, marketing is the
tool used to present the solutions that your products or
services offer to the rest of the world. As the saying
goes, in business "Everything is marketing."
 
Marketing is a skill. And like any other skill, it can be
developed through knowledge and practice. Entrepreneurs
can never learn too much about successful marketing.
 
You Can Also Leave the "Rat Race"!
 
As more and more employees of large corporations have been
discovering to their dismay, neither seniority - nor years
of company loyalty - guarantee any real job security. In
view of this, staking one's claim in the digital Wild Wild
Web seems even more attractive.
 
Of course, there's much more involved in leaving the rat
race than can be covered in this article, but I've shared
seven of the most important keys to success.
 
No, leaving the rat race may not come easily, nor
overnight, but it's certainly possible and can be well
worth the effort. If followed, these keys can help you
leave the rat race, too.
