Vegetarian Delight

Your Fortune Online

O.k. Health, wellness & vegetarianism; what does all this have to do with yourfortuneonline.com? Excellent question, I’m glad you asked! Simply put, your fortune isn’t just about money. My day job (as I build my home business online) is working on the cardiac unit at my hospital. One of the things I have learned from working there is that the amount of money you may have will be useless if you don’t have your health to enjoy it. Because of this, I want to share what I’ve learned about health & nutrition along with how to build a home business online. Watkins is the perfect complement for anybody concerned about the health and wealth of their family. Watkins has specialized in offering quality natural products to families for over 141 years. In addition they have the perfect (imho) business opportunity available today. I just wanted to have a short explanation of why I include healthy recipes, wellness information along with steps to earning money in your home business. It is the melding of these aspects that create a more productive society.

My “Vegetarian Journey”

Well it’s been 30 days since my wife and I tried being vegetarian for the month of March. I’m happy to report that it was a roaring success. As a matter of fact, it has gone beyond the “test” stage & we are now full blown vegetarians. It has been a gradual trend that started last April when we changed our eating habits. We cut out red meat, fried foods & foods with high saturated fat. Late October 2009 I joined Watkins. I’ve really enjoyed being able to convert over to the Watkins Natural products that are available. Between eating better and using natural products, vegetarianism was not too much of a leap. The change came about for purely selfish reasons though, I must admit. Heart Disease runs in my family. The past 2 years I’ve been working on the Cardiac floor of the hospital. Seeing the pain and heartache patients and families have to deal with I decided I needed to make a change.

The Vegetarian Un-Meatloaf Recipe is Born

It has really been fun converting my conventional recipes to vegetarian. As a matter of fact, my favorite recipe (meatloaf) just got converted last night. *You can find the recipe here. It turned out awesome. The “Un-meat” I used has 0 fat and 8 g of protein. Way better for the heart than hamburger or turkey. My wife dubbed it the “Un-Meatloaf” lol! A lot of us have tried to make changes to healthier eating in the past. I can still remember trying to eat rice cakes and cottage cheese. Yuck! I wish I knew 20 years ago that it was possible to eat healthy, nutritious food that actually tastes good. It’s because of what I know now, that I didn’t know then; that I want to share healthy eating tips with others. It actually may be a benefit to others to see where I came from. Fried, and fat laden fast foods were a mainstay in my diet for years. Knowing that it is possible to go from McDonald’s Big Mac’s to Vegetarian Un-Meatloaf will show that anyone can make the change.

Speaking of change, check out VeganGal as she chronicles her adventure into Veganism during Lent: “40 Day Old Vegan” It is a daily account of her 40 days of veganism. The page I linked to has a video of her explaining veganism, as well as links explaining what Lent is. She also has several links to other Vegan Resources. Check it out.

Have a “Meat to Beet” vegetarian story you’d like to share? I’d love to hear from you, drop me an e-mail.

Home Based Business

DIY: Home Based Business

What is meant by a “DIY: Home Based Business”? The DIY stands for Do It Yourself, a Home Based Business is typically one that can be comfortably run from home (duh!) without having employees or a typical “brick & mortar” shop.The options for having a home business are virtually unlimited. The real key is to find something you enjoy, can work part-time from home & not have to invest a lot of capital. Because of these variables the “Answer” to which home business is right for you is going to vary by individual.

Choosing a Home Business Opportunity

Of course this will also vary by individual, but here is a list of some of the things I was looking for in my own home based business:

• Inexpensive to start
• Flexible
• Rewards in proportion to effort
• Easy
• Fun
• Free business building tools
• Ability to build business online
• Honest
• Legal
• Environmentally conscious natural products
• Potential to replace full-time income working part-time
• NOT fly-by-night

The Home Based Business Opportunity I Chose

While I had looked for years & tried a few things, the home business opportunity I finally decided on was a Summit Group/Watkins business. The fact that Watkins has been in business 141 years put my mind at ease about dealing with a fly-by-night scam. If I was going to invest my time in a home business, I wanted to ensure the company would still be around for the long haul. There are so many facets on how you can build your own home based business, I can’t go into all the details of the opportunity here. The complete full disclosure is available for free here: DIY: Home Based Business. But, I will tell you this, it has been by far the best use of $39.95 I have EVER spent in my life. The website above (the one with the free details) is provided to me by the Summit Group free of charge. Why, simply because this business is about helping others achieve their goals; I don’t make a dime in this business until you make a dollar. Is your future worth $39.95? Mine was.

Serenity Beach

Benefits of a Home Based Business

This is not a “definitive list” by any means. Just a few of the reasons I chose to start a home based business. Also keep in mind that this list of benefits applies to my Summit Group/Watkins home based business; while there are many benefits to working part-time from home, not all opportunities have the same benefits. That being said, understand this; there are many ways to success, be it personal, professional or spiritual.

Home Based Business Secret

The “secret” is finding the one that works for you. Consider for a moment “Weight Loss” diets or programs. You have Nutrisystem, Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, etc. Do they work? Yes & No. Just look at the testimonials, you see people that made it work. But, if you stop using the system (Kirstie Alley) then the answer is no. Watch the asterisk *Results not typical. Why are the results not typical? Because most people “typically” don’t work the system. IF you work the system, the system will work. The common denominator in ass success scenarios is YOU. You have to find the system that works for you, then throw cauti0n to the wind and “Work the System.” It really is that simple. With that disclaimer out of the way, here we go:

• Part-time: Most of us don’t have the luxury of being able to walk away from our full-time job. As a result for us to build a successful home based business requires the ability to work it part-time. While working a business opportunity part-time is a benefit, there is a danger. It is important to spend time EVERY day on your business. Even if only for ten minutes. If you say “tomorrow I’ll do it”, to often tomorrow never comes.

• Residual Income: Probably easiest the least understood concept about having a home based business, and conversely the most important. Simply put, in the traditional job market, you go to work and you get paid. Stop working and so does the pay. In a business that allows for a residual income you will continue to earn money in the future for work that you do now. If for example  you get sick or take time off for a vacation, you continue to receive income. Actors, writers & musicians all belong in the category of residual income. There are many home based businesses that allow you to tap into the residual income benefit.

• Work from home: I know, it’s redundant: working a home based business from home, but I want to emphasize what a HUGE benefit that is. The flexibility to earn an income from the convenience of your own home is fantastic. No commute, traffic or grid lock. And depending on the business, no inventory, billing, shipping, employees or co-workers. Need to take the kids to the Dr.? Done, It’s your business and your decision.

• Online business: What’s better than having a home base business? One that you can build online! While building your business online is not the most common way most home entrepreneurs work, it is one that is gaining popularity. Not too many years ago door-to-door and person-to-person were the only options. With the advent of the internet, the ability to reach more people quicker became available.

• Free online training: Obviously this is not a benefit for every business opportunity you look at, but it should be one you highly consider. The reason being it offers you total flexibility to build your business at your pace. You don’t have to wait for when your mentor is available to show you “the ropes.” By the same token as your working towards building a residual income, you are able to point others to the online training, freeing you to expose more people to the opportunity.

• Free Marketing Website: This is another category that not every home based business opportunity you look at will offer. I can tell you from personal experience that it is quite nice! For the curious you can check my marketing website I received for free here: DB46.com. The main purpose for this site is to sift the wheat from the chaff. Because I’m primarily building my business online, it’s important for me to know which people are actually serious about building a home based business and the ones that are just “tire kickers”. My free website offers all the details of the business for free online, to those that are serious about a business, and the ones that find it is the right fit for them at this time are the ones I work with.

• Support from successful mentors: This one is kinda a no brainer. To have a successful business it’s important to work with people that have a successful track record. You need an opportunity that is tried and true along with people that can offer you the support you need because they’ve “been there & done that.”

• Spending time with family: While money is a benefit from working from home in building your business, being able to spend time with your family is another. It is often the key ingredient to having success. The desire to be with your family more, and there support in that endeavor are paramount in your success.

• Flexible: The flexibility to work your home based business part-time while still taking care of the other priorities in your life are key. This key will allow you to unlock the full potential of the opportunity you have chosen.

• Cash Now option: Typically building a residual income is a long term proposition. That being said, it is nice if you have the option to also earn some “Now Money” as you build the residual side of the business.

• No selling required: Some people love to sell. It’s in there blood, they can’t help it. Most of us though don’t fall into that category. Having a home based business you can build without having to sell is a HUGE benefit to a lot of us.

• Multiple methods to market: Not being tied down to just one way to reach people is another benefit of building your business. Be it classified ads, online ads, blogs, banner ads, door-to-door, catalog, business cards, mailers or whatever, it’s nice to have options.

• Tax advantages: This is one area that I do NOT recommend DIY. When it comes to taking advantage of the tax benefits of having your own home based business, it is best to have a qualified professional on your side. As you research this particular benefit, you will see that is well worth your while to have a professional on your side.

• Personal Growth: I’m sure you’ve heard the saying: “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over, but expecting different results”. In a nutshell this is saying that when you look at the things that you’ve tried in the past that didn’t work, be open minded. Most of us will find that the common denominator in these sceanarios is us. Take the Nutrisystem analogy above. All of those systems will work, but if you’ve tried them all and they didn’t, you probably need to look in the mirror. If you continue to do what you’ve done, you’ll continue to get what you’ve gotten, are you happy with “what you got?” If not, consider working on yourself while your working on your business.

• Free Audio training: Another one of those benefits that is not offered by all opportunities you may look at. But,I can tell you from personal experience it’s an awesome one to have. I am able to learn techniques for building my home based business in time that usually would have gone to waste. While driving to and from my day job, I have the ability to learn from mentors who have built there successful businesses over the years. Valuable training that wouldn’t be available otherwise.

• Trusted time-tested business model: Most people look in the wrong places when trying to find a business opportunity. Most are looking for the newest most hyped visible thing out there. Be cautious though, here are some sobering statistics: 80% of all businesses fail within the first five years. To ensure the greatest success in any endeavor you look at, consider if they have the track record to back it up.

• Turnkey paint-by-numbers system: Having the “perfect” business opportunity is useless if you don’t have a simple step-by-step turnkey system you can follow. Want to know the real reason McDonald’s is #1 in their industry? How are they able to have minimum wage teens running their million dollar businesses. Simple, they have a step-by-step turnkey proven system for doing everything they do. From making the fries to mopping the floors, every McDonald’s does it the same way.

• Ultra-low start up: While having a proven system that can earn you money is important, it’s also important for it to be within your means. If you want a successful business you can always start a McDonald’s, the franchises are still available. Most of us probably don’t have a Million or so dollars that we can part with though. Along with the potential in your home based business, the ability to start it with minimum up-front investment is crucial.

So there you have it, a few of the benefits of having your own home based business. Now all you have to do is take the next step. I wish you the best in whatever opportunity you find to further your goals for yourself and your family.

GPS Navigation for a Home Business

2009 was a tough year for a lot of people. Even those that came through unscathed, it still put a little seed in their head “next time that could be me.” For those of you that have decided to make way of your “Plan B” I have some excellent news for you. Now is a perfect time to start a home business with the Summit Group/Watkins organization. Why is that? you might ask. Simple, for over 140 years Watkins has been offering natural products to enhance the lives of families. These are products that we all use on a daily basis, products ike nutrition, things for cooking, health, personal care and cleaning. They’re great quality at reasonable prices that people use in their home anyway.

What Kind of Home Business is it?

So now your thinking, “I don’t want to sell products!” Neither do I, and that is not what the core principal behind the Summit Group/Watkins home business is. For a complete A-Z explanation of this home business opportunity click here. For the “Cliff’s Notes” version, read on. The concept is really quite simple, it is however one that most of us are not familiar with. Typically when a company decides to market products they choose venues like Super Bowl Ads, Radio, Newspaper etc. Watkins pioneered a different way of marketing starting in 1868. Instead of relying on traditional forms of advertising, they relied on word-of-mouth. Advertising dollars that typically would go to expensive TV commercials or newspapers is instead paid to individuals who spread the word of Watkins personally.

Home Business 101 vs. Sams

To put this concept in terms most of us can understand, consider this. To join a Sams club you pay an annual fee of about $40. For this $40 you are allowed to shop in Sams and buy products at a discount. This discount is typically 5%-10%. Now if you decide to join a Summit Group/Watkins “club” you pay $39.95, about the same as a Sams membership. The discount you receive however is 25%-39% (depending on the size of your business). Now in our Sams scenario, if you tell other people about how great a Sams club membership is and they join and buy products; you don’t event receive a thank you card. If however, you join a Summit Group/Watkins home business, buy products for yourself at 25%-39% discount, then tell others how they can do the same, Watkins will pay you 5%-10% for sales that result from you advertising their products. Contrast that with the Sams analogy. If you get a Sams Club membership, tell others how great you think it is, they get their own membership and start buying Sams products, how much do you think Sams will pay you? Exactly nada.

So where to go from here? The GPS of this program is provided by the Summit Group. Watkins business model has been in place for over 140 years. The past 20 years the Summit Group has successfully become the single largest organization in Watkins. This is because they have perfected a proven business model for building a home business. The tools they have put in place are like having a GPS to building a successful home business. How can I be sure it works? Simply put, your reading this. To learn about how to build your own home business online go here. Follow the steps outlined and you will have all you need to make a decision without any hype, BS or pressure. Either you can see the power of this home business or you can’t. If you can……..don’t delay.

Home Based Business Tools

Tools for a Home Based Business

What is the best home based business out there? You might be surprised by my answer! The BEST Home Based Business is one YOU enjoy. I have made my choice, it may not be for you. As a matter of fact very few people will be able to see the opportunity in my home based business, and that’s ok. My recommendation is to look around and find the one that is right for you. Let me tell you a little about why I chose the one I did.

My Home Based Business

The home based business I chose consists of two parts. It’s simple, fun and easy. A word of caution while your looking around. You will be inundated with promises of instant wealth and riches, RUN don’t walk, but RUN the other way.  Any legitimate home based business (any business for that matter) requires work. That is why I suggested finding the opportunity that you enjoy. Because if you don’t enjoy it, you won’t end up sticking with it, if you stick with it you can’t be successful. That’s just a fact. Back to the two parts of my home based business. Believe it or not, the BIGGEST part of what I do is to tell others about the opportunity. How do I do that? Hmmmm…. well your reading this right now, this is one of the ways. A lot of what I do to tell people about my home based business opportunity comes from the tools I have available from the people that introduced me to the business. They are a group of entrepreneurs known as the “Summit Group”. And to see one of the tools available from them you can see here, BTW it was free, & if you decide this business is right for you, it will be available to you also. When you go there you will have the opportunity to learn all about the “Summit Group” and what we do to build a home based business.

Home Based Business Training Website

I would love nothing more than to show you the inside of tsgnet.com, but I can’t. It is an exclusive members only training site full of proprietary training material that is second to none. I can tell you a little of what is available there though: There are tons of articles on how to build your home based business using online techniques (banner ads, websites, domain names, redirects etc). Basic strategies on how to build a successful long term residual income. By residual income I mean money you will be paid for on a continual basis (think singers getting paid for songs today that they recorded years ago) from the work you do now. Here are some of the categories available on the training website:

• News Flash
• Business Tools
• Basics (Team Building)
• Free Website Statistics
• Retailing
• Message Board
• Online Audios
• Supplemental Training
• Bonus Books & Reports
• Events, Contests, & Incentives
• Price Lists
• Shipping Rates
• Newsletter/Archives
• and much, much more………

The website for recruiting online & training website are free from the Summit Group if you join here. Still undecided? That’s ok, for full details about how the business opportunity works (no hype, “just the facts”) go here: DB46.com

Pay Attention

Top 10 TRUTHS You Must Change if You Want Financial Freedom!

• TRUTH:  Day in and day out you can drag your body out of bed, fight a long commute to a job that you hate, work with people who do not share your values and still only  be living from pay-check to pay-check.  1 step forward & 2 steps back.

• TRUTH:  Your boss will always determine what your salary or wages will be. He will pay you the minimum he has to for you to stay there. If you become to expensive, he will hire someone younger who will accept less money and “eliminate” your position. You have little or no control over establishing your true value to the company.  You will never be able to give yourself a raise & never earn your true worth.

TRUTH:  You can break your back to help your boss meet his or her profit objectives.  For your effort you earn a Holiday Ham, while your boss walks away with obscene bonuses. Or as happened this year with the company I work for; they eliminated the Holiday Ham altogether.  If things get tight for the company the board cuts your pension contributions and your benefits.

• TRUTH:  You can work over-time, travel for the “good of the company” and have precious little time for your family.  Your marriage and your family suffer, while you help the stockholders meet their goals. But you never do meet your own goals or fulfill your dreams. You retire bitter, broke, resentful and depressed.

• TRUTH:  You may spend countless hours in a little cubicle or at a work-station absolutely bored to tears with repetitive tasks for no appreciation or thanks – except the Holiday Ham (which was canceled due to the recession).

• TRUTH:  Your boss dictates when you eat, take a break or visit the bathroom and the company still is never fully satisfied with your performance. The corporation stifles your raises while the top tier of executives get bonus after bonus.

• TRUTH:  You work for years expecting to be promoted to a higher position with more pay but the job goes to the boss’s daughter who just graduated from college or to the cutest intern with the largest “resume’”.

• TRUTH:  Your employer demands that you give your mind, body, soul and loyalty to the company, while at the slightest shift in the company’s fortunes your boss decides that you are no longer needed. While company policy dictates you must give a 2-week notice should you decide to leave, your termination is immediate and final.

• TRUTH:  At the end of a long and fatiguing career you retire with a meager pension (maybe, if the company is still and business) and a Social Security check (doubtful) that offers only a substandard life-style for the rest of your life.  Depressing.

• TRUTH: Wishing will not make it happen. The only way to change your future is to change yourself & take charge. If you continue to do what you’ve done, you’ll continue to get what you’ve gotten. Are you happy with what you got? “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results” Break away!

Tough Times in New Decade

Making Money in the New Decade

The newspaper clipping is from our local paper today. It talks about some of the realities Americans are facing regarding making money in these tough economic times. I don’t think it’s really necessary to spend a lot of time lamenting the current economic condition. We all know that the economy took a big hit last year, and that for a lot of Americans, making money is more of a struggle. Even if you were fortunate enough to not have been impacted by the dismal economy, it’s still important to be prepared. Having a second plan for making money is a wise thing to do. As the old adage goes: “It’s better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it.” With that being said, let’s look at some of the opportunities a Watkins home business has.

Making money in a Watkins home business is probably one of the easiest ways out there. No inventory is required, nor do you have to do any selling. There is an association in Watkins know as the Summit Group that has pioneered and perfected a “paint by number” system for making money.  This proprietary 2-step plan is available only when joining Watkins through an associate who is a member of the Summit Group. Just a few of the benefits of being with Watkins & the Summit Group are:

• Free coaching, training and mentoring
• Ability to earn immediate cash & ongoing residual income
• Co-op ad program available
• Free marketing and sales tools
• Free weekly conference calls
• Super-low start up costs & great income tax deductions

Whether you decide that a Watkins Summit Group home business is for you or not, I strongly encourage you to have a Plan B. The time to have another option for making money is BEFORE you need it. If last year is to be a lesson at all, it is to know that the status quo is not a given. Anyones financial, health or living arrangements can change without warning. If you are serious about wanting to prepare your own Plan B, I would love to talk to you. You can click the link below for full details with no obligation. The thing you need to understand is, I will NOT try to convince anyone that they should join the Watkins Summit Group. I will however answer any questions you may have, in a low key, never high pressure manner. I strongly believe that once anyone who truly understands the potential that is available (to make money and have more free time) they will see it as a no brainer. If you decide that now is not the time for you to get involved, no harm no foul. At least you won’t be left with that nagging feeling of “I wish I had checked that out.”

I Want YOU!

Entrepreneurs Wanted

I am looking for a particular type of person. The person I’m looking for is a self-starter. They are motivated, creative and able to follow a plan of action. It does not matter if your black, white, puerto rican, young or old, male or female. The type of person I’m looking for has a burning desire to succeed. They know that they are on this earth to accomplish something, to make other people’s lives better. They want to work for themselves in a business that is honest, ethical and enables people to better themselves. Typically these type of people have an entrepreneurial mindset. They see opportunity where others see obstacles, are willing to take a chance when others cower and hide their heads in the sand. If this paragraph describes you, or who you want to be, we need to talk.

There is right now a tremendous opportunity available to help other people who have a great need. 2009 was a difficult year for many families and businesses. There are people right now who need help, help that working together we can provide. There are many people who are looking for ways to save money and live healthy lives. If we work together we can show people how this is possible. Please understand, if you have read this far; this is NOT a get rich quick scheme. If you are looking for a way to make money that does not involve work, dedication and commitment, please move on. This is not it. It is NOT the newest fad or viral marketing scam most of us are used to seeing. It is a rock solid entrepreneurial opportunity that has been enhancing the quality of life for Americans for over 140 years.

Now I want you to pause a moment and reflect on that statement. In 140 years this country has seen two World Wars, a Great Depression, multiple recessions, civil rights struggles and countless business failures. Yet this company, Watkins; has never had a product recall, they were the first to offer a money back guarantee on everything they sell. Specializing in natural products that we all use daily, they have been offering an opportunity for those that seek it. Simply put, Watkins pays people like you and me, when we are successful in getting other people to use Watkins products. No million dollar super bowl ads, no PGA or Nascar sponsorship. Watkins uses it’s advertising dollars where they have for over 140 years, in the hands of hard working, honest, entrepreneurial men and women in the United States and Canada. Right now our country is at a tipping point. The old ways of thinking about careers and earning money for our families futures has changed forever. My dad’s generation could depend on working for the same company for 2o years and retiring with a pension. No more.

There is a special organization that works in partnership with Watkins. This organization has perfected a turnkey plan for building a successful Watkins business. This plan has been responsible for improving the lives of many thousands of people in the last 20 years. It is the single largest organization in Watkins. It is a simple 2 step plan, that doesn’t require you to quit your day job, or drastically change how you go about your daily lives. Using just a few hours a week, part-time from your home; either online or in conjunction with traditional methods, you can build your future. Not everyone has the ability to see the potential of this plan, if you can- we need to talk.

Different Perspective

A Different Perspective On A Home Based Business

To start the discussion of  “different perspectives” check out my photograph “Colors” above. It was taken locally here in Texas. Now I’m not the first person to take a picture of the American flag; by any stretch of the imagination, nonetheless I think it ain’t half bad. I’m sure your wondering, “What in the world does this have to do about having a home based business?”. To which I answer: “More than you might think.

There are many parallels between how this photograph came to be and how I build my home based business. For one, I didn’t “go out” to photograph that day. I was coming home from work (day job) and stopped in a local banks parking lot to take this picture. This is also one of the ways I build my home based business. I don’t “go out” to work my home based business. I work my home based business when I go out. Grocery store, movies, restaurant etc. I’m always passing out my business card to potential candidates.

Tweaking. Yes, the photograph was “tweaked” a little in Paint Shop Pro. It is still an uncropped original photograph, I just tweaked the colors a “little”. The same with my daily activities. I still work my full time job while building my home based business. I still spend time with my family and enjoy my hobbies. I just tweak a few things to get the time in I need to build my home based business. To start off, I add 30 minutes to my day by getting up a half hour earlier. On my days off (from my day job) I “block” out a specified amount of time for my online business building and related activities. As I stated before, I also work my home based business when I’m out and about. The amount of time it takes to build your own home based business will depend on the individual. Starting out a good rule of thumb is to spend at least 10 minutes a day. It is important to do something regarding your business everyday. Skipping one day can lead down that slippery slope to where, before you no it, a month has gone by.

The third similarity between my photograph and my home based business is cost. You can have tremendous results without having to plop down a lot of cash. For the photograph above, I used a $99 Radio Shack 5 mega-pixel camera my wife had gotten me for Fathers Day. I’ve used it to take thousands of photographs. Great bang for the buck. On the home based business side, $39.95.

So what does it all mean. Simply put, you don’t have to drastically alter how you live your life day to day to build a home based business. Working part-time you can generate a substantial income using the tools available from the “Summit Group”. It is a tried and true turnkey business plan that is so simple, it consists of just 2 steps. Hmmmm…. low cost, simple way to make money at home without quitting your day job, the only question is: “Are you ready?”
