The Independent Business Woman - 7 Powerful Steps to Get What You Want in Business
Are you ready to give up the 9 to 5 “rat race” and think about starting your own home based business or Internet marketing business? You might be ready to become an entrepreneur home based business professional and you have the self-confidence to do it. So why shouldn’t you profit from your ideas instead of profiting another company owner?
Financially, you know you’ll never reach your desired goals unless you take the risk of being an independent business owner. But the question remains, what business would you start if you could? You can feel in your heart that tug that tells you to take the risk to do an independent business. Before you pack in that weekly paycheck, take time to evaluate yourself and your future with some real honesty. Take time to pray and hear the calling of your heart towards the right business for your life. You want to change your life for the better, so let’s start.
You Can Do It Do you know that you have the potential to do and be anything you want? You are created in the image of God so you have the ability to be creative in your life. Some of this creativity can be used to build a unique business that is really needed in the world. Most women have different perceptions of what is the ideal business life; and that ideal can range from owning a retail store operation to setting up a regular income from a web based membership site. Unfortunately, many women fail to reach their aspirations because they can’t get a solid, clear picture in their mind of what they want.
Search for Your Heart Desire Take the next few days and embark on a fact-finding journey that will be a life-changing experience for you. First, sit down and pray about exactly what you want in as an independent business owner. Be specific about identifying your passions so you can focus all your efforts on that particular desire. To reach real success in a business effort, seek the true desires of your heart and be ready to recognize the type of home based, internet marketing or retail business you want to spend time doing.
Seven Questions to Help You Know The woman who always changes her mind or who gives up easily when the going gets tough, will never get anywhere. If you’re a bit confused and aren’t sure what you really want in life take time to answer these questions:
- What makes your heart beat with excitement?
- What makes you happy?
- What are you constantly thinking of day and night?
- What do you want to do with the rest of your life?
- What do you enjoy doing?
- What are your obsessions?
- What things make you jump for joy?
Write down all your possible answers to the above questions. Write down everything, no matter how silly or unimportant it seems. Put all your desires on paper that answers any of the above questions.When you complete responding to the questions, go back, study your answers and circle five to seven items that interest you the most from your list. Then, without taking a lot of time, evaluate and choose with your heart (emotions or intuition), not your mind, the one and only thing worthy to spend all your time and resources on and that brings out the best in you.
A Personal Example I can share with you that I had to take time to do this. I had about five different areas of interest in the beginning of my Internet business. The reason for this was because I never wanted to really acknowledge what I really wanted to do with my business. I wanted to create a networking group for Christian women in business. The group would welcome all women, but the primary difference would be the tone and attitude of the organization. I could use my knowledge of business, organizations, and marketing, but focus on a market that is sorely underserved; Christian women who work in the world of business.
For some reason, I didn’t honestly make that statement to myself for a long time. As I look at my old writings and some websites I started, I see that my focus was too mixed to really let the public know my business focus. When I honestly stated what I wanted to do, everything began to fall into place. I was able to develop my mission, value statement, and business plan for the Association and move forward.
How to Make Anything Possible Now, what if you know you want to work in an area that might not be right for you because of your personal circumstances? For instance, what if you want to be the next star of a woman’s basketball team? If you’re over 20 years old and never played basketball, you’d have to realize that this is not a reasonable choice. But if you have a love for the sport, you can always think of something related to basketball or sports.
How about starting a women’s basketball publication and interview stars of the game? Or perhaps a site that features women’s basketball sporting goods or a basketball memorabilia business?
Let me give you an example of how you could use your love for a sport even with a basically unrelated topic. Take a look at how I used basketball as a metaphor for learning how to write Internet articles at Slam Dunk Articles (Http://www.slamdunkarticles.com). This gives you an idea that you can start to focus on favorite ideas in many different ways.
Listen to Your Heart The most important thing to remember, no matter how impossible your idea seems to be, is to listen to your heart. Even if other people disagree with you, be firm with what you really want. Others may offer comments or advice, but the final decision is always yours to make as you are the one to live with growing and nurturing your business. Concentrate on what you want, not what others want.
Get Started I know of women in businesses that are being very successful by pursuing topics that others tried to talk them out of doing. Some have sites based just on a particular type of craft and have built strong membership sites. Others take a basic topic that is growing in interest, such as how to organize your home better and making loads of money in the process. These women followed the leading of their hearts. They spent time in prayer and were sure of the direction that they were to pursue in their business.
Too many women live lives in quiet desperation waiting until a perfect time to take the time to do what they really want to do in life. There is a desperation that time will pass them by and they will never realize her true calling in life. You will surely feel this way it you know you are supposed to start working on your dream and you keep hesitating out of doubt or fear.
Take the time now, to search your heart and decide what you really want in life more than anything else. Do the exercise above and be honest with yourself. You don’t have to share the information with anyone else yet. Just sit quietly and pray about your decision.
Keep your pen and paper nearby as ideas begin to come to you and write everything down without judgment. You are getting ideas from your deepest understanding that you can use to form your future business plan; in fact, the more outrageous your ideas, the better. That means your original creativity is coming out and you are starting to really focus on what’s uniquely yours to do in life. Begin honoring each moment in every day of your life. Live life, remembering, that you don’t know God’s plan for you. Don’t take for granted the life that you have. Live every day as if it were the last day you had and stop leaving your dreams to be started next week, next month, or next year.
If you are serious about becoming the woman you know God created you to be, you have to take the risk to ask yourself what you really want to do in life in the world of business. Sign up for the mailing list of the National Association of Christian Women in Business (NACWIB) for more information on how to get started. Also get some resources to help you build the business of your dreams. Once you know what it is you want to do, find out the steps it would take to make the dream come true for you. You will never know the success you could have in your home based business as an independent entrepreneur until you get started.
Sexy Hairstyles With Bangs - How To Get The Best Look
Hairstyles with bangs are a great choice for many of women wanting to have a spicy, sexy look. With a little creativity and daring, getting the right kind of bangs can be both a fun and an exciting journey of self-discovery. It can also be quite frustrating if certain factors aren’t taken into account.
First, a competent hair stylist who knows how to synchronize the different kinds of bang cuts to facial shapes is essential to success. It is a well-known fact that adding a bang-type, whether a traditional blunt cut or a more cutting-edge, side swept fringe style, can immediately spruce up any hairstyle. However, picking the right kind is important. For instance, if a woman has a long face, hairstyles with bangs can be ideal in making the face appear shorter. A medium length hairstyle with bangs on the forehead will work very well on a rounder visage. Taking into account the bone structure and body type is half the battle when working with bangs, and when done correctly, it goes a long way to enhance and frame the face.
(See the end of this article more information about how you can see exactly what YOUR face looks like with hundreds of different hairstyles including hairstyles with bangs.)
There are bangs to fit any face shape, hairstyle and hair type. Throughout history women with bangs have graced fashion walkways in large numbers setting trends and establishing women’s hair and clothing tastes. While fashion models promote the one-style fits all attitude, in the real world one must take into account face and body differences. While blunt bangs will usually flatter oval face shapes, they may need to be adapted to compliment square or round shapes. The traditional baby bangs work great for oval and some round face shapes, since shorter bangs tend to lengthen and slim the face. Just as there are all kinds of faces, there are all types of bangs.
Bangs can be worn straight and full, wispy, or swept to one side. The simple act of adding forehead fringe can create an instantaneous transformation from dull to awe-inspiring. The beauty of the bang is that you can change the look if you don’t like the result. Getting the right look with hairstyles with bangs is all about testing, getting a good hair stylist, using common sense, and, we recommend using the service below to test the style before the scissors are taken to your hair!

How To Get Rid Of Stretch Marks Naturally
If you are desperately seeking help on how to get rid of stretch marks then your kitchen cupboard may well provide what you are looking for. If not, a visit to your local grocery store, supermarket or health food store will likely solve the problem.
If you would like to reduce stretch marks without having the need for costly laser treatments and cosmetic surgery; distrust or perhaps cannot afford some of the costly lotions and creams available; are using ineffective makeup to try and cover up your stretch marks and long to wear the clothes you want to wear without feeling embarrassed about your stretch marks; and .. are sick of facing yourself in the mirror and seeing unsightly stretch marks… then help is at hand by way of powerful home remedies you can start applying right now in the privacy of your own home.
A good friend of mine well into the mid phase of pregnancy amazed me when she triumphantly bared her belly and declared “So what do you think of this?” Not a stretch mark to be seen!
I asked her if she would share her secret on how to get rid of stretch marks and she was only too happy to do this, explaining that she’d found a source of common natural everyday household products that did the trick perfectly .. by tackling the problem of stretch marks early before they had a chance to appear.
The results were nothing short of incredible and I pressed her to find out a bit more about where she’d acquired these remarkable products. It turns out she’d sourced a publication on the net providing a heap of home remedies and recipes for reducing the appearance of stretch marks using very inexpensive everyday ingredients. She went on to say that all of these stretch mark home remedies and recipes are completely natural and are easily obtained from your local grocery, supermarket, or health food store.
Tips For Organizing Your Handbag
Women know that there’s nothing worse than standing at a checkout counter digging in your purse for coupons, change or money. Looking for your car keys or your cell phone can take up precious time. There’s already not enough hours in the day to get everything done that we’d like, so why waste it searching for things in our purses. Here are some ideas and tips to help make your life and your handbag clutter free.
Let’s begin with things to look for when purchasing a new handbag. Shop for one with some built in storage options like inside pockets or cell phone pouches. Outside pockets are great for keys and phones. And remember the more oversized the bag, the more things you’ll have to get lost in that bag.
Another thing that people overlook is their wallet. Look for one that has not only a place for credit cards and dollar bills but a place for your change as well. Why carry a separate change purse? It’s one more thing to search for at key times.
Makeup bags in different sizes and colors can be used to organize things within your bag. Cosmetics can go in one and coupons & receipts in another. Clear zip lock bags are a great option too. They work well for vitamins, aspirin, tissues or hand sanitizer. Purchase travel size products that will take up less room.
And remember, we do not have to carry everything that we own in our handbags. Lighten up your load. Your shoulders and back will thank you.

The Secret of the Hair Color
I started coloring my hair at the age of 13. I was bored with my drab hair color, and being a teenager, I was bored with life. I knew I needed a change so I saved my money and bought my first bottle of bleach. I ended up buying this gawd-awful product-that I won’t name-that was sprayed on the hair. After spraying, you had to sit in the sun for an hour and it was supposed to magically turn your hair a beautiful shade of blond, like the picture they had on the bottle. Well, needless to say, my hair looked nothing like the beautiful blond hair on the bottle, but more like a frizzy, clownish, orangy cotton ball. Not a good look for most people, and especially not a good look for me.
At about 16, I learned of this wonderful product called hydrogen-peroxide. Oooooh, all my prayers had been answered. Bleach I could pour directly onto my hair and it would make my hair beautiful! Ahh, but once I bleached and removed the towel from my head for my fabulous new hair reveal, I was again left with a wiry, orangy, frizzy mess. Again, not a good look for me.
A few years later I discovered the best invention known to womankind. Hair color in a bottle. What more could a woman want? Such a happy day that was! I still get a little tickle in my heart thinking of how happy I was at seeing all those different shades on the shelves. It looked like a rainbow, a blond to black rainbow, but nonetheless, it was my rainbow and I found my pot of gold!
I am telling you, ladies, a bad day can be cured by getting a new hair color, adding some highlights, or even adding some dark streaks. There is no limit to what we can do, the fun we can have doing it, and how good we can look when we get it just right! We may be stuck going to the same old job, driving the same old car, doing the same old-same old every day, but we can always change our hair! It that doesn’t make you happy, then I don’t know what will.
I have since gone over to the “dark” side and really like it. I went from bleach blond to black and I have since settled for an in-between. I am sure I will change it in the very near future and as even though everything else will be the same in my life, at least my hair will be different!
