A good friend of mine, Thomas Mangum, and I were speaking this morning and he mentioned this book “The Maui Millionaires” that was written by his colleague David Finkel.

In reading thru the info on the dust cover, I’m really intrigued to read the book.  My good friend Mark Victore Hansen said this about the book:

“Invest in your millionaire future by reading how Maui Millionaires did it.  Read it on the beach.  Better yet, read it in Maui and get rich”

Well, I’m looking forward to reading this book on the plane to Dallas this weekend, so watch out for more postings as I go through the book over the next few days.

Please, if you’ve read “The Maui Millionaires” by David Finkel and Diane Kennedy, leave me a comment here and let me know what you thought about the book, its philosophy, and what you’ve done with this information.

Taking advantage of a home-based business opportunity can afford you many benefits. There are not only the monetary benefits, but lifestyle benefits as well. Whether lifestyle or monetary, these benefits can be far greater than the benefits you receive working for an employer. If you are already working in your own home-based business or just entertaining the idea, be sure to evaluate your options and consider the value of the benefits you will receive. Home-based business opportunities can provide you with independence and financial freedom if you make smart decisions.

It is not always money that motivates people to start a home-based business. Sometimes the intangible benefits are more important factors when considering home-based business opportunities. One of the more powerful draws to working from home is the sense of freedom you gain. You can set your own schedule, work the hours that are most convenient for you, and have time available for family obligations and leisure activities. Parents with children in school often think about what home-based business opportunities may be available to them. Teacher conferences, after school activities and the ability to be home when the children are out of school are strong motivators in making the decision to start a home-based business. Working from home gives you the benefit of flexible hours and the freedom to adjust your schedule according to the needs of your family.

Stress reduction is another benefit of operating a home-based business. Any business will likely produce its own kind of stress, but certain stressful factors can be avoided when you take advantage of the more promising home business opportunities that are available to you. You will have no daily commute, you will save money on gas and automobile expenses, and you will have the extra time in the morning and evening to relax and interact with your family instead of spending that time getting to and from work. If you plan properly and budget your time wisely, being your own boss can reduce the stress you feel due to constant demands and co-worker interruptions.

A home-based business opportunity cannot only give you the benefit of earning money while working from your home it can give you many other benefits as well. A home-based business is the perfect chance for you to attain financial and personal freedom. There are numerous home-based business opportunities available to you. Research each one carefully and make sure you are willing to put forth the effort that will be required in order to succeed.

Before you make the jump to a home-based business, make sure that you carefully evaluate everything in front of you.  Take it from someone who has been operating a home-based business of their own for over 15 years, treat your home-based business like a business.  Having a seperate office within the house is ideal, someplace where you can “go to work” and then “come home from work”.  Watch out for the frequent downside which is the business takes over your home life.

Look for my tips to creating the best home-based office in an upcoming blog entry.

A couple of months ago, I was attending an awesome event in California and had the pleasure of spending some time with The Barefoot Executive, Carrie Wilkerson & AskMrVideo, Perry Lawrence.

A few of us got to sit in on a spur of the moment video training session out by the pool area taught by Carrie & Perry.  It was awesome!

Up until that point, I was always very nervous about doing video for my websites.  I thought it was too hard, or took too much work.  Besides, up until that point, I was never comfortable with how the videos came out.

Well, they taught me all about “Video Magnetism” and away I went.  From that spontaneous little 2 hour session by the pool, Carrie & Perry have put together an amazing course that will help you get over your fear of doing video on your website.  Also, they will teach you some super-cool ninja video secrets that will help you get a lot of traffic to your website and more subscribers to your list.

Don’t waste another moment, go in and check out this great Video Magnetism course right now, by clicking on the links in this blog post.
