My Tribute to My Son

I have set up a tribute to my son who is a hero. Please visit my site which means so much to me. I miss my son more than ever and it gets harder every day.

Happy Father's Day

Just wanted to send all the fathers a very Happy Father's Day. My father died in 1987 and still miss him to this day. Our parents are very important people in our lives and mine were the greatest. My father taught me to be a very moral person and try to live by his teachings. We were a farming family and my father worked very hard every day. He told us that when he was a little boy he did not have much and worked very hard as a father to make sure that his children had every opportunity that he did not have. He sent us all to college to try to help all of us improve our lives. In this economy today, the things that my father told me about during the depression has helped me to survive today and his teachings meant the world to me.

So please cherish your father if you have him and if not, always remember him on this day and every day.

Do You Know How to Advertise?

I am learning how to advertise my work from home business. Did you know that there are many free ways to advertise your business and get traffic to your website? In setting up your own work at home business, you can advertise on blogs, chat lines, and even place ads in magazines and papers for free.

I have been researching and learning how to set up these free ads and blogs. Blogging is a lot of fun and also very helpful, like on this blog. Chat lines are good but very careful of which chat room you get into, good source such as AOL, Yahoo, Google and many more. Placing ads on magazines and papers is very easy, search on line for free advertising and you will find many sources.

Struggling Along

As I mentioned in my profile, I lost my son 2 months ago. He was killed in the line of duty and it still feels like a nightmare. I am trying to use this tragedy as an inspiration to me to do what I have always dreamed of, working from home, but it has been hard.

I am still in the training process but it becomes frustrating at times when you don't know where to turn. I am learning that you have to really put your nose to the ground and work hard if you want to succeed. Don't fool yourself that it is a "breeze" doing work at home on the internet because it is not. You really have to apply yourself or you will go nowhere and that is what I am finding out.

So if you want to start an at home business, you really have to be dedicated or you are wasting your time.

Really Worked at Home Today

I really worked at home today. I planted 3 flower bushes and started trimming my shrubbery in my back yard. That is what you call "really working at home". When you are single, you learn to do a lot of things yourself and I have definitely learned to do them.

Of course I love working in my yard and that is one of the reasons I have started an at home business. With this business I can stay home and do all the things I did not have time to do when I was working an 8 to 5 full time job. Always at the beckoning call of someone else and never able to control my own life. The company I am working for has great benefits and enables me to stay at home, make money and do all the things that I love to do when I did not have time to do them before. The great thing about the business I am starting is that I control my time, set my schedule and I am my own boss.

Being Distracted - Need to Succeed

Trying to work from home is really hard. I become distracted a lot of times with other things which causes me to lose time with my business.

If you have to become very focused on your work and put on blinders to all other outside influences. I get distracted by my dog some times and have to stop. But I try really to go right back to what I am working on. The only way to succeed is to keep pushing ahead. This is hard for me some times because I get loss in thoughts of my son that I just lost. But then I try to focus on that he would want me to succeed and that "quitting is not an option".

The company I am working with have many inspirational ideas, helpful benefits and a lot of support. I am new at this but they seem to care to help you succeed and not fail. They offer training calls and material to get you on the right track.

I hope my insight on being distracted will help inspire someone else to try to succeed.

New Week - May 26

Hope all had a great Memorial Day Weekend. Now time to start a new work week. My last blog was about starting a work at home business.

It is a scary thought trying to start a home business. I, like most, have hesitated and been unsure where to start. Well you have to jump right in and find a business that you will like and get your feet wet. There are many businesses on the web and a lot are scams. But if you research very closely, you will find a perfect match for you.

I have found a business that fits today's economy and a lot of people's needs. Many Americans are unemployed and are looking for ways to survive. The business that I am working with offers not only work at home option but also offers a discounted program for health needs. Many unemployed have lost their health benefits and need an alternative way to take care of their health until they can find a job or health insurance. The company that I am starting with offers discounted options at a very good price.

Tomorrow I will try to give information but let me know your thoughts on this situation that our country has gotten into regarding health care.

Today's Lesson - Starting a New Business

I started looking for work over a year ago but due to this economy and my location I have been unable to find a job. Also being a female at the age of 57 has not been much of advantage either. So I started looking into working at home. As most of you know there are a lot of scams out there especially now and believe me I have hit my share.

But about a month ago I came across an opportunity that sounded legit. After coming up against so many scams, I learned that you have to do a lot of research before diving in. So I did.

My suggestion to anyone looking for working at home, when you find a business that may interest you be sure to research it very closely. Google search it by name, check out Better Business Bureau, read as many articles on it, and also check out its benefits. No "get rich business" is legit and you should stay away from them. You have to work at it just like a 8 to 5 job to succeed.

Also beware of "businesses" that ask for large amounts of money in turn of making you rich in a matter of hours or days. Yes, you do have to contribute some money to start a business but you also have to work at it every day. You will not get rich over night as some will propose.

I hope my little incite in today's lesson will be helpful to some one as I also had to learn the hard way.

See you on the flip side.
