To all of my reader’s, I do wish you a Happy New Year 2011.  It has been an interesting ending to the year 2010.  I will update you on events, I haven’t really been ready to talk about, but in order to be a good writer, you have to be open and tell it like it is!  So here I am, back on the blog.  I had convinced myself I just couldn’t get motivated to write, but that is not true!  The truth is, I have had a “Curve” in my life and I allowed to to get my eyes in a different direction.  One thing I’ve learned through life’s lessons, you can be the hardest on yourself, by the way you talk to yourself through adversity and by the way you react to adversity!

Attitude!   Attitude is everything! Not just attitude, but a GOOD Attitude!  I won’t tell you that the last 3 years have been easy, but through 2 years of caring for my parents at the end of their life, loosing them at the end of 2007, choosing to walk away from Real Estate and take a major turn into being a self employed individual who has been through a lot of growth and many business disappointments, financial investment losses,  loosing business partners, meeting challenges in educational understanding…….need I say anymore!  That is the storm of life!  Like Paul in the Bible, a storm is only safe if you let God be in charge.  It wasn’t my storm!  It was his.

When my husband lost his job at the end of Sept.  I was stunned!  For about 10 minutes!   Then something begin to rise up within me.  I am not alone.  This is not my problem.  This is just another chance for God to direct our lives to a higher position!  We are being promoted!  We react to adversity, but we don’t have to be overcome with it!  My reason for backing away from writing was that I didn’t really want everyone else to see the “Power To Achieve“  writer have her challenges, too!  You know…..I’m ready to write.  I have been in God’s presence as he is my protector and my provider.  He also is my leader and he is the one who chooses my pathways.  The fact that I am writing on this blog to inspire others to achieve is the reality of what he has made me to be!  I have always found it easy to believe in you!   Why….because you are God’s masterpiece!  He took great care when he made each one of us.  Stop and take a look at your life.  What is your greatest passion?  Start a list and daily add to that list.  What do you feel you are talented to do?  Are you measuring your abilities against someone else s gift?  Are you being true to yourself, or are you letting someone try to form you into something that you are not?  Let the “Master Potter” do his design in you!  Get your hands out of the clay!  I have been doing this and really asking God to allow me, to know myself.  To see my good and to not take lightly the gifts he has placed in me.  And more importantly, I don’t want to place a monetary price tag on my abilities.  My Gift and Your Gift is priceless!

Success will follow the appropriate lining up of your purpose and God’s will, with your actions, by faith, moving in the direction of your inspiration, given to you by God! Ask yourself, “What would God say about this?”  WWJD  “What Would Jesus Do?” has become a familiar saying.  Bracelets, necklaces, and other things, carry that message.  But what does the heart say?  Those things come out in our thoughts and our words, whether they be audible, or just in our thoughts.

Now I don’t apologize for being a Christian and believing in Jesus Christ, who was God’s son.  Rather, I feel that if I don’t share the one with you who has caused my life to be secure, as I have accepted him as my Lord and Savior, I would be selfish and very unwise.  If you don’t understand this and need to contact me, that is fine.  His precepts will prove to be true, for those who are willing to try them!

Curves will always be there.  It’s because of curves that we grow! The successes you are headed for are right around the curve.  These things that happen to disrupt our comfort zone, are not happening by accident!  They make us strong!  We are tried, but made strong as long as we see our trial as a stepping stone to the best that is yet to come!

With positiveness in your thinking, over  life and situations, you can achieve the  ultimate benefit of success and happiness! In all you do, be thankful!  Write out your aspirations, your goals, your positive affirmations!  Find a partner and keep each other accountable!  Make God the head of your life and give him the pencil to cross out anything that shouldn’t be on your list!  If you keep doing things the same way, you will get the same results!  What do you need to do differently to get the things you desire!  Believe in yourself and no matter what!  Again I say,  believe in yourself! You are intended to be an over comer and succeed in everything you do that God has put his blessing on!  Be Blessed and you are an achiever and you do deserve the best.  Nothing can stop you!!!  Not even that curve that is up ahead of you!

With the holidays rapidly approaching, I hope as you light up all of your yards across America, you will also think of a Cross and place it with your display! As I was viewing a video of a service in Africa, sent to me by my brother,  there were people as far as the eye could see in the video.  As I looked over that crowd, some things came to mind!  How many of those people had a house?  How many had a car?  How could there possibly be enough restrooms for them?  Where were the restrooms?  People were head to head with no spaces in between!  Did they “walk”  to get there?  And yet they showed up and “Millions”  made a decision to follow a Savior and believe in him.

Then, I looked at America.  We almost all live in houses with heat and air.  We have running water.  Most of us have 1 or more cars.  We have restrooms with flushable toilets in our homes and churches.  We have fabulous churches all over America.  We have religious freedom to worship!  We have electricity, electronics, and gadgets of every kind!

Have we forgotten?  Have we taken it all for granted?  Are we so anxious to go to our place of worship to serve our God and worship him?  How full are our churches.  We have limited seating.  Are they full?

Then….I thought of Heaven.  The vastness of people there…serving a living God.  And I thought of a song I use to sing.  Push away from the table….Look out through the window pane…Just beyond, this house of plenty, lies a field of Golden Grain.  And it’s ripe unto harvest, but the workers, Where are they?   My house is Full, but my fields are empty!

We are blessed in America to make a difference! To “wake up” a nation who is sleeping!  The Bible says, “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray, and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from Heaven and will heal their land!”  Pray about what your part is suppose to be in the restoration and preservation of our great Land of Freedom.  A land declared to be “One Nation, Under God, with Liberty and Justice for all.”
God Bless You!

I haven’t been writing on my blog for a while.  Sometimes, you just need to step back and be quiet! That’s where I’ve been.  My life is in a transitioning stage.   We must get on the right track and get our focus where it needs to be.  With my venture into the marketing world, I have found out there are 100′s of opportunities out there and you can just simply get overwhelmed.  Now when you are my personality and you think you can go every direction, look at everything, you get on what I call many “rabbit trails” and you don’t accomplish a lot because you can’t do it all.  I like to respond in a way that makes everyone happy!  That’s just who I am!  You should never  wish you could be someone you’re not!   Make a new resolution…..”I will not allow myself to be frustrated any longer!” What happens when you find you can’t dance to all the tunes at once that everyone is playing?  Everyone’s song is beautiful, but you must choose the song that makes  your heart pound from your chest!  The song that puts passion into your being!  Find out what it is that makes you happy.  What is it that inspires you?   For many people, they find it easy to focus right onto a goal and stay on it till it’s done.  They look straight ahead and they don’t allow interruptions. Life will show you who you are, as the following story, gave me a lot of insight to who I am and how my compassion moves me!

I have to tell you it was on a Sunday Brunch in a local restaurant, that I found one of my passions jump from my chest!  I have loved working with children most of my adult life!  I have taught in Sunday School, preschool, been a Nanny, and I love the heart of a child.  I can pick up on a child’s heart, especially the age of 5 to 12.  I thrive when I have a room full of those beautiful children, even though they quite often challenge you!  I thought Mike and I were having a nice quiet lunch, when all of a sudden, I heard a commotion in the booth near us.  I realized the noise I heard was from a Father, who was eating with his daughter.  Just the two of them.  They were across from each other in a booth.   The noise was his sunglasses flying off of his face as he abruptly had lost his temper with his daughter and flew out of his booth seat to hers on the other side where he pushed himself in beside her.  The look on her face as he grabbed her hand and tried to force her to cut up her food and eat it.  The sorrow in that little girls eyes, broke my heart!  It was all I could do, to keep from going over as we left and giving them my card and telling them I would love to help if there was anything I could do.  Her countenance never changed while we were in the restaurant.  I knew something was terribly wrong!  I prayed as I walked by their table and ask God to put his Angels around her and protect her and keep her from harm.  Then I prayed for the Father that he would have the compassion for his beautiful daughter and he would meet my Heavenly Father and allow him to teach him to be a loving Dad.   As we left the restaurant,  I told my husband, “You know,  I want to see families mend and be healed, not destroyed and separated.   I know only with God, is that possible and  I wish I could set down with that Dad and that little girl and just listen to their pain and help them.  With my eye’s tearing up, I told him, “maybe I could make a difference!”

DO YOU BELIEVE, THERE IS A REASON FOR EVERYTHING? I’ve recently taken some time out, to ask myself, “Who you are , where you are going, and why are you here?” Maybe you too could use a “time out” to just look at all that is around you.  Where are your priorities?  Are you putting the most important things on the “back burner?”  Do you need to set some things right and get some relationships restored?  Are you angry?  How are you dealing with it?  What can you do to make a difference in that situation.  I like the old saying, ” If it is to be….It’s up to me!” That is where it begins.    God lets you choose!

Success will come, when there is a good foundation to build upon! Your house will stand!  When the winds come and try to blow you off of your foundation it will not harm you.  You can accomplish, with God’s help, anything you want to accomplish!  You need to set your goals, write them down, but don’t do if by allowing someone else to put their goals in your head!   Search Your Heart for Your Goals!   best you can be and learn to love your life.  I have been reading The Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale.  I love what he has been teaching me!  I have to say it has a powerful punch!  You have to STOP the NEGATIVE Torture that has torn you apart! Get restored and repaired and do yourself the honor of believing in yourself.  As I have said many times before, “you were fearfully and wonderfully made and God does have a plan and a purpose for your life!”  Be a Powerful Achiever and Run after your destiny!

Life is a process! We all have the things inside us that drive us to our destinations!  We are each given a road map, which lies in the depths of our hearts!  I really know that there are some desires that are within me that I have to pursue!   I recently went through a Life Languages workshop to find out more about the factors that make each person who they are.  I was amazed to see a 26 page print out on my computer, once I took the test and answered the questions!  I definitely defined who I was!   I guess you could say, it “confirmed” it!

Don’t go through life, trying to be someone you are not! You were made to perfection of a master who took a lot of thought into the specialization of who he wanted you to be!

Don’t try to change those around you and those you love, to make them what you want them to be! Find out “HOW” to speak their language!

One of my mentors read me like a book the first time I talked to him. He asked me about my husband and his personality and immediately knew we had to work at our differences!   39 years and we still work daily on them!  But you do have to work with and live with people whose personalities will be quite different than yours.

In business relationships and in family and friend relationships, we need all types of personalities to get the job done! Think about your body.   Does your little finger, look like your big toe, or your ear take favor to your nose?  They are very different from each other, yet without them, you would really have a harder job to do!  Working together with us, they all serve a purpose in helping us through the everyday journey of this life!

Don’t cut certain people out of your life, just because you don’t see things the way they do. You may be a very out spoken individual and a real rule follower!  If you are working with someone who takes things less seriously and you overcome them with your aggressiveness, they will not want to work with you!  Maybe if you compliment first and then offer to help them, they will take it as constructive help and not criticism.   If you are quiet and you are working with an aggressive personality, don’t take it personally.  They can be an asset to you when  things need to be taken care of.  Enjoy having them deal with the things you would rather not have to deal with!

I am a high responder. I am a good right hand person to have by your side to help get the job done!  I don’t like being totally in charge, but if no one else will do it…..I will!  I don’t give up easily.  I am slow to get angry, but if I get upset, I may say too much too quick!  I love to be busy and I love to sometimes have quiet time, but I do like to be with people, even though I’m not a big talker.  I would rather listen.    When I work with someone who is a strong leader, I love seeing them accomplish!    I am not real competitive, but I have to realize, some people are!  I am somewhat of a quick decision maker,  and don’t always think things through, before I jump on board.  I get so many projects going sometimes, my head is spinning!  I’ve tried to keep a planner and I’ll do good for a day or so… then I just somehow misplace it or lose it.    My goal is to focus and get organized.  I love organization and I am only slightly organized.

I’ve told you all of this about me, to ask you to take some time, and write down who you think you are!  Get a profile of yourself.  Once you figure out who you are, then it will help you to decide what your specialty is and where and what, you are destined to be.  Don’t be afraid to start sorting out some things that are in your life that need to go!  Build your dynasty on your strengths and build on the strengths of others!  Get focused!

It’s not every day, that we take time to isolate ourselves from the distractions around us and focus on the positive things that are within us! I am on a 30 day mental cleanse!  Cleaning out the cob webs, getting focused and charging for a life full of Achievement!  Today, I write this affirmation.  Read it and think about yours.  Write yours down,  and move forward, with the  Power of Faith driving you.  See your destination as if it is already here.  Believe you cannot fail!  You have the Power To Achieve!

Now here is my affirmation!

I am blessed and highly favored!  Even before I was in my mother’s womb, you gave me a destiny and a purpose for my life.  I was born to be a servant and a high achiever.  I am destined to teach others to believe and achieve, that which God has placed in them.  I will speak words of blessings and power into the lives of those I meet and into my own life.  I know who I believe in and I am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him until that day, when he calls me home. Beverly Ross Power To Achieve

It was an eye opener for me, when I looked at 10 questions about building a Business and  was asked to put them in sequence of 1-10 as to the most important to a prospect, to the least important to a prospect. My biggest miss, was the most important!  I gave it a “7″ and it was number “1″!

Would  you would have done the same? What was the first and most important thing the person you are working with, is interested in?  Is it the Company Image?  The people you are in business with?  Your marketing plan?  The training provided, your product line? Your tools and help materials? No, the one thing that is most important to them is WHO IS GIVING THEM THE PRESENTATION? Who they are going to be in business or partnership with?   That is YOU!  They want to be in business or partnership with someone who has great integrity and someone who is going to help them reach their goals and achieve their dreams.  They want a mentor who cares enough to pick up the phone and really wants to see them succeed!

RECOGNIZE THE PERSONALITY DIFFERENCES! When you present your idea or opportunity to an individual, here are some differences you will find!

Some are strong leaders and in the top 3% of successful top money earners.  They work tirelessly in pursuit of their goal.  They don’t depend on anyone but themselves to get the job done!  They will not stop until the job is done!  When working with an individual like that, you will have found someone who won’t need as much help from you as others.  They thrive on knowing they did what it takes and paid the price to have success!  Stay on track and set a great example with them, or they will pass you!

Some are information driven and if you are not there for them to get them answers to all of their questions and help them see the total picture, you will loose them.  You don’t need to sell them.  You just need to get them access to everything and give them time to study it.  If you press in, you will loose them.  You may think they are not interested, but you will be surprised if you have a valuable opportunity and they see it, you won’t be able to stop them from getting involved, once they are convinced by what they’ve seen and read.  Once again, lead them through the information and let them make an informative decision.

Some prospective business associates are really people driven. They are sensitive to people’s needs and you have to approach them from the aspect of  how beneficial your business could be in helping others, as well as really helping them achieve all the dreams and goals they have.  They will have many goals in line with helping others.  Perhaps special causes, helping the poor, feeding the hungry, providing shelter etc.  Be sure to let them know how you really relate to their desires and how you know  they are going to be able to  help many others succeed!

Then their are people who mainly just want to find joy in what they are doing. They do not like boring and depressing meetings and presentations!  It has to be fun and inspirational. They love people and they like to have a good time, so make your business an adventure to them.  Tell them how it’s going to be so much fun, to vacation in the sun with them.  Let them know how they will be able to attract people to them, just because they have a lot to share with other people.  Let them know that people need their enthusiasm!

You need to have all different types of people in your business and YOU need to attract them to YOU! Look at it this way, when you were dating and you put on the right perfume or the right cologne,  you had confidence that that special person was going to notice you!  If you knew the cologne or perfume they liked, wouldn’t you have wanted to wear it?  You have the ability to get familiar with anyone you know, and find out what makes them tick!  Respect who they are and give them the gift of approaching them from that aspect.

Recently, taking a Life Languages course, I found out I am a High Responder. This is my top Life Language out of 7 Life Languages!    My husband, on the other hand was a Contemplator.  His Language was one that I had the least in common with;  however, we’ve been together for 39 years!  I guess it’s true that opposites attract!  He likes to get very involved with studying things out.  He likes to have his space.  He doesn’t like fast change and he is very smart, due to the fact he does study things out a lot!  I have learned through the years, to give him the right to be who he is.  I know to give him space.  Not take it personally when he doesn’t like the same shows I like…..at least most of the time.  I’m still working on that!  But by knowing, it helps me understand the challenges that come up!

Know your people. You can’t do this unless you spend time with them.  You need all types in your business!  Everyone has their special place.  I have always enjoyed studying personalities and have studied them in many aspects, because it is important to know who you are working with, or living around.  Si if you want the Power To Achieve in your Relationships, whether it it a business relationship, or a personal relationship Know Your People And Build Relationships That Will Last!

Achievement Strategy For Today
We are  chosen and designed to handle what ever is put before us! Have you ever just thought about how fortunate you are to be born at this time, where there is running water, a toilet and toilette paper, air conditioning, electricity and all those other things we take for granted? We really have it made, but circumstances sometimes make us forget what we DO have to be thankful for! When things get “tough”….the “tough” get going. We really don’t have a clue, here in America, what it’s like to struggle, but if we don’t get our mind set on the good things we have, all we will do is think of the challenges that face us every day! This life is worth fighting for! We need to be determined to live it to it’s fullest, despite our circumstances!
Don’t focus on the problem but focus on the solution. Whether it’s a family challenge, a work challenge, relationship challenge, or a personal challenge, you can be thankful that a solution lies before you! Don’t hesitate to LISTEN to those who will speak positive into your life.
Also do not hang around the pitty pool or you will drown. People who complain constantly have formed a habit and that habit feeds on getting others to join them. They will pull you into the pool if you don’t run! Just get out of the conversation quickly, and then go turn everything around into words that will build you up and strengthen you to move forward.
I loved the UTube I got this week on my Facebook,  of a very young girl, in front of the mirror, with all of her possitive affirmations about her life, her family and herself! You can get the job done so as the Bible says, “Think on the good things!” Also it says, “As a man thinketh in his heart….so is he!” So what have you been saying about yourself and about others? How about that one child you are concerned about? Or the job, or the finances? Hey, I’m speaking to myself here on a daily basis and this takes work and dedication. You didn’t form the habit of negative thinking in a day and you will have to realize it will take time to break it!
Are you willing to give it everything you’ve got and be determined to build your faith? What the mind of man can conceive and believe, he can achieve! God gave us amazing minds.   He taught us  to be THANKFUL in “ALL“  things.  Now in order to do that, you have to put your mind and thoughts to work and start to see how a bad situation can turn into good.  For example, let’s say you are late to work  or an appointment, because you forgot to fill up with gas.   You could say, thank you God that I am having to reschedule my day.  I know you are working things out on my behalf!  (You may  have avoided a serious car wreck by having this delay) Only he knows, so trust him with your life and circumstances.   I know if you put  these principles into practice, you will  find the Power To Achieve!

It never really occurred to me, that maybe I was meant to write. I know that I’ve always had thoughts running rapidly through my mind, especially at the end of the day, when every thing is quiet and I settle down for the night. It’s like all of a sudden, I see all the puzzle pieces and have to try and I get ideas on “How” to put them together. I know as a mother, getting through tough years with my children, I often took the pen and wrote.  I found this easier than talking, but what I found out it wasn’t always the best way to communicate. Too much said, often should have been discussed face to face and for that is why my son asked me “Not” to write him anymore letters. With that, I put my feelings about writing into a category that said I needed to maybe just put the pen down and with love, learn to trust God and be a better communicator, especially with my children.

After that, I never really gave writing much thought, until my Brother Gary published his first book. It was a special week when he was working near me, and I drove about 50 miles to meet him, and went out on a few jobs with him. We were talking about how awesome it was, that his book had finally been published. He had worked on it for years and had some disappointments along the way, as one publisher took his money and didn’t publish! My Mom, his biggest supporter couldn’t wait for the book to be published and prayed many prayers for him that it would someday happen. January of this year it did! I know she was rejoicing from Heaven with him! Anyway, we were walking along. He always calls me “Sis.” He looked at me and said, “Sis, you know you ought to write a book someday. You have a lot of things you need to say, and you could leave a legacy behind.” I thought it was just a moment of “I did it and you should do it, too!” Well, I pondered on it for a few months. Timely, it was just about the time that I was working into online marketing and one of the first assignments I had, was to establish a blog.

Well, I took off and started writing some articles. I originally thought it would just be a business related blog, but it has gone much farther than that! Within that blog, and other events in my life, I began to discover that this small town girl did have some assignments and passions from my life experiences, that I did need to share.
I grew up in “Small Town USA.” Somewhat of a “Leave It To Beaver” home. Mom was a stay at home Mom, Dad worked a steady job and supported us. We were faithful church attenders. Dad didn’t drink and gave up smoking after he married Mom. We took big family vacations and did a lot of fishing! I had a brother 5 years older than me and a brother 5 years younger than me. I was the girl in the middle!

My life was a happy life and although there were really very few struggles, I still ended up with issues I had to contend with. I am very easy going, but very strong willed! When you have that personality, you take things to heart and you are very hard on yourself! I am quiet in a crowd, but I don’t mind getting up and speaking to a crowd! That is, if I have something to say!  I think very deeply about things, but if it’s something really complicated, I’d rather not think about it at all! When I speak, I’d rather get it said and get the information out as soon as possible, but I will listen to someone who could talk all night! I love a leadership position and admire someone who is there, but I’d rather be the right arm to a leader and help them accomplish their goals! I put high expectations on myself, but I let myself off the hook way too easy!  Have you ever, put in writing, what type of personality you have. I know mine must sound confusing to you! I felt like I needed to fit into everyone’s box and I was extremely frustrated if I didn’t. I always seemed to be the last one to finish a test. I loved basketball, but never seem to have what it took to be a starter!  I played piano, but my fingers just didn’t move fast enough to play those complicated notes! These things weighed on my heart for a big portion of my life!

OK….enough said! I had to have a mental breakthrough and I needed it as badly as anyone! I wasn’t overcoming sexual abuse, or seeing someone I loved murdered, or having my parents divorce and feeling like I had something to do with it, or facing the betrayal of a spouse, or raising a mentally challenged or disabled child or facing a disease I couldn’t cure! Still, the same effects can tear at your personal esteem if you don’t get everything in the right perspective!   Piece by piece, God helps me deal, day by day with each issue. First, I had to accept who he made me to be. I had to learn that he put me hear, and he thought I was special! I came with a plan attached!

Due to all the mental anguish I put myself through, I had gained a lot of weight. I blamed it on birth control pills and just getting older and having a slow metabolism. Through his healing ministry, I found a christian program that really began my journey to recovery, and as we began to share our stories with one another, one by one we discovered the reasons that weight had become a big issue with all of us! It was a big eye opener as I sat there one day in that class, and God said, ” I did call you to be a cheerleader…..just not a physical cheerleader! I called you to encourage my people and cheer them on through their hard times! You are a cheerleader!  (When I was in grade school, and wanted to try out for cheerleader, a friend had told me,”You’ll never be a cheerleader, You’re not coordinated enough!”) All those years, I had let that statement hurt me!

I’ve learned to share my hurts, as well as my victories and I am still a work in progress! My boys as they were growing up sang a little song, “He’s still working on me, to make me what I ought to be! It took him just a week to make the Moon and Stars, the Sun and the Earth and Jupiter and Mars! How lovely and patient he must be…….He’s still working on me! Yes….I’ve started my book and I have some things still left to say. Daily, as I look up, I find I don’t notice the obstacles that get in the way as much. I’m learning to trust him, my Jesus, to give me daily instructions and he is patient with me. If I can encourage you to trust him to and let him take the lead, he’ll heal the broken places and he’ll shed light on them that you never thought was possible! Be an achiever and live your life to it’s fullest! Your goals and visions are not in you by accident! Discover them, reach for them, and achieve them!

I’ve always been a note taker and write things down that inspire me.  Guess I got that from my Mom!

Before Mom died, she had moved in with me, and guess what, there was another of her notes, written down that I hadn’t ran across.  I’d like to share them with you.  I know she never dreamed they would go out into Cyb er Space:

Get out of Self-  I gave a little party this afternoon at 3-Twas very small, 3 guests in all, just I myself and me.  Myself ate up all the sandwiches, while I drank up the tea .  And it was I who ate the pies and passed the cake to me.

Said the Robin to the Sparrow, “I should really like to know, why these anxious human beings rush around and worry so>”  Said the Sparrow to the Robin, “Friend, I think that it must be that they have no Heavenly Father, such as cares for You and me-Elizabeth Cheney

There is so much good in the worst of us, and so much bad in the best of us, that it ill behooves the best of us, to talk about the rest of us.

My Mom lived with a great deal of pain.  She eased her pain by feeding her thoughts with empowering thoughts that got her through each day!  That is a lesson she taught me.  To keep a good attitude!  We are told in the Bible, Deuteronomy. 28:47-48 to serve with joyfulness of heart, gratitude, a good attitude backed with joy, or we will serve our enemies with lack!  This is serious business for those who choose to serve God and be successful in his provisions!  When you live a life of blessing and have a great attitude, it raises your level of performance!  YOUR ATTITUDE DETERMINES YOU ALTITUDE!  With a “down” attitude, you will crash!  With a positive soaring attitude, you will rise to your expectations! Do you want fruitlessness or fruitfulness?  Are you so particular about the kind of fruit in your basket, that you can’t enjoy the other different fruits that are there!  You need to enjoy it all!…….  Find a way to enjoy it all!  Be optimistic and expect good things.  As a man thinks in his heart….so is he!  Jeremiah 23:36 talks about attitude!  You will not get fruitfulness in your life if you see it as a burden!  Take burden’s out of your vocabulary!  I call days that have challenges “Character Building Days.”  Come up with your term for the tough times and learn to put a positive  title to them!  Serve the Lord with gladness and enter into his courts with thanksgiving!  Be thankful and give thanks!  No murmuring and complaining!  II Cor. 9:6-7 says to give with a cheerful heart!  Not grudgingly or out of regret!  Now if you are a church goer, I know you’ve heard that one during the offering time if you attend church,  but let’s get beyond that, and realize it is not just about giving money!  It’s about whatever you give, whether it’s Love, support, respect, encouragement, forgiveness, helpfulness, faithfulness, or anything else you might decide to do!  Do it with gladness and watch your blessings roll in!  Your world will see you shine and be blessed by your presence!  Hope your path is so bright and cheerful today that you dance down it!  Leave a legacy you can be proud of and soar because you do have “THE POWER TO ACHIEVE!” God Bless!

If you do not have a home business in some capacity, you are actually missing out on a monthly raise! Ronald R Mueller, is the author of the bestseller “Home Business Tax Savings Made Easy!  He will show you how you can give yourself a “big” monthly raise, if you are serious about Tax Refunds and a willing candidate to starting one or more home businesses!  I have to say that Mr Mueller really opened my eyes to more benefits, even though for years I have ran home based businesses and utilized the benefits.  On my blog, you will find several business avenues you may want to explore.

FIRST: Get loaded with information!  First check out Mr. Mueller’s brochure!  Visit http://www.TaxSavingsBrochure.com and get a copy today.  His book was given to the IRS before it was released and you will find documented information in it as well.

SECOND: After you have done your Tax Savings Homework, then get trained in Home Based Business operations.

I choose to market on the Internet! You will hear the term, “Attraction Marketing” and realize that the market online is so much larger than ALL of your friends, relatives, and all of the people in your circle!    Marketing to individuals who were business minded made so much more sense to me!  I choose to market in different areas that I know everyone will need.  I have carefully chosen my markets so that each fits a different need in our lives!

One market involves “Travel Savings!“  We all love to travel but the price of vacations is extreme!  Why not travel for Penney’s on the Dollar?  I can show you how to do that!

One market involves products and services, including many online stores, vitamins, makeup etc.  The benefit of this business is enormous income potential, plus your own store where you can shop at wholesale prices!

Then there is the market where you generate cash, computer software and e-books.

There are Investments of Gold and Silver Coins…..More Cash!

One of my businesses is wickless candles, promoting safety in the home and still getting a wonderful and fragrant result!

Also, every one I know uses electricity and gas.  I saw this as a great opportunity to develop an income stream.  (Only to my knowledge, is Texas deregulated on Electricity and Georgia on Gas ) Nothing changes when you sign up with me…just who you get your bill from.  Simply invite them to be your customer!

Then last but not least, I have a home business that will educate you on “How to Build A Successful Home Based Business!”

So get the facts from my site and explore!  One you load up with the information as to why a home based business would benefit you with tax benefits, then get a business or businesses you like and build an empire!

There are hundreds of businesses on the web, and I hope my site will narrow that down for you! My business links to these businesses are all on my blog.  You can contact me anytime for information on how you can get that raise starting today!  I learned a long time ago, from my Home Business Training, to watch for Paradigm Shifts! Going from the 9 to 5 job, to marketing on the Internet is definitely one you need to watch.  It’s happening all around you!

You will benefit, not only from those who join your business, but from those who simply become your “shoppers,”  just like in a store! All of my business choices are multilevel businesses.  Each one reach one and teach one to reach one. That plan has been around for a long time.  Volume commissions are paid as well as affiliate commissions, as you grow your Home Based Business!   Can’t Wait To Have You Aboard!

One of my favorite songs talks about how we have shattered dreams, wounded hearts and broken toys, but when we give them to the master, he turns our sorrow into joy!  Our problems are not as we see them when he puts his potter’s hand on them!   Don’t sabotage the gift God has put in you,  just because you are punishing yourself!  Don’t lock your self in a prison of your own self pity and try to punish yourself.  Brush yourself off, get up, and EXPECT success.

Get inspiration to be an over comer in spite of your circumstances.  Many go through life, thinking they’ve been cheated, saying to themselves, “life isn’t fair”,
“I’ll never be good enough,” “bad things always happen to me,” and finally they completely give up on a relationship with a living God and doom themselves to failure!  That’s not how it’s suppose to be.  We are given strength through our trials and failures.  As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he!  We must have faith and believe in our hearts that the Best is yet to come! It’s through that faith in a Living God, who picks us up when we are down and redirects our paths, that we overcome!  We learn from our failures and excel to a life full of hope and achievement!  Thus we find the Power To Achieve!

The ending to my favorite song says, “He only promised a heart full of singing, about the very thing that once brought pain. ” Do not faint or grow weary, but move with faith toward your dreams and goals!  May God Bring Sunshine into your life!
