You must take chances. You must get yourself active in the online marketing community. You must learn, learn and learn and never stop! Only then can you become a true success.

Remember, having a home business does involve some work on some level. The trick is to stay focused and don't get distracted. Making money online can be hard if you don't stay focused.

Until next time, keep reaching for your fullest potential!

Your 5 Minute Daily Program To Stress Management

Hello, everyone I know this is a break for what we've been discussing as far as home business goes, but we'll get back to that tomorrow. This still goes along the lines of having a home business because it can become very stressfull soooo....here are a few things to help you manage the daily stress and reach your goal. Enjoy! and we'll be back on the home business route tomorrow.



We all have this favorite expression when it comes to being stressed out, and I wouldn't bother naming all of them since it may also vary in different languages. But when it comes down to it, I think that it is how we work or even relax, for that matter that triggers stress. Ever been stressed even when you're well relaxed and bored? I know I have.

Since Error! Hyperlink reference not valid. is unavoidable in life, it is important to find ways to decrease and prevent stressful incidents and decrease negative reactions to stress. Here are some of the things that can be done by just remembering it, since life is basically a routine to follow like brushing your teeth or eating breakfast. You can do a few of them in a longer span of time, but as they say-- every minute counts.

Managing time:

Time management skills can allow you more time with your family and friends and possibly increase your performance and productivity. This will help reduce your stress.

To improve your time management:

· Save time by focusing and concentrating, delegating, and scheduling time for yourself.
· Keep a record of how you spend your time, including work, family, and leisure time.
· Prioritize your time by rating tasks by importance and urgency. Redirect your time to those activities that are important and meaningful to you.
· Manage your commitments by not over- or undercommitting. Don't commit to what is not important to you.
· Deal with procrastination by using a day planner, breaking large projects into smaller ones, and setting short-term deadlines.
· Examine your beliefs to reduce conflict between what you believe and what your life is like.
Build healthy coping strategies

It is important that you identify your coping strategies. One way to do this is by recording the stressful event, your reaction, and how you cope in a stress journal. With this information, you can work to change unhealthy coping strategies into healthy ones-those that help you focus on the positive and what you can change or control in your life.

Lifestyle:

Some behaviors and lifestyle choices affect your stress level. They may not cause stress directly, but they can interfere with the ways your body seeks relief from stress. Try to:

· Balance personal, work, and family needs and obligations.
· Have a sense of purpose in life.
· Get enough sleep, since your body recovers from the stresses of the day while you are sleeping.
· Eat a balanced diet for a nutritional defense against stress.
· Get moderate exercise throughout the week.
· Limit your consumption of alcohol.
· Don't smoke.

Social support:

Social support is a major factor in how we experience stress. Social support is the positive support you receive from family, friends, and the community. It is the knowledge that you are cared for, loved, esteemed, and valued. More and more research indicates a strong relationship between social support and better mental and physical health.

Changing your thinking:

When an event triggers negative thoughts, you may experience fear, insecurity, anxiety, depression, rage, guilt, and a sense of worthlessness or powerlessness. These emotions trigger the body's stress, just as an actual threat does. Dealing with your negative thoughts and how you see things can help reduce stress.

· Thought-stopping helps you stop a negative thought to help eliminate stress.
· Disproving irrational thoughts helps you to avoid exaggerating the negative thought, anticipating the worst, and interpreting an event incorrectly.
· Problem solving helps you identify all aspects of a stressful event and find ways to deal with it.
· Changing your communication style helps you communicate in a way that makes your views known without making others feel put down, hostile, or intimidated. This reduces the stress that comes from poor communication. Use the assertiveness ladder to improve your communication style.

Even writers like me can get stressed even though we're just using our hands to do the talking, but having to sit for 7 or 8 hours is already stressful enough and have our own way to relieve stress. Whether you're the mail guy, the CEO, or probably the average working parent, stress is one unwanted visitor you would love to boot out of your homes, especially your life.


Until next time, keep reaching for your fullest potential!

Why Internet Marketing needs a slap and why it's time to
change....

I can remember it all too clearly..

Back in 1999, when I began my
journey online there were only 5-10
'experts' in Internet Marketing.

It was a wonderful place to live
in, a safe environment where you
could work and breathe without
being poisoned with some hyped
up product.

Fast forward and the industry,
started to change. The 'sharks'
smelt blood and entered our
market place and started
destroying the industry..

What happened?

Simple really...

Greed. Products upon products
started to filter into the market
place like a tidal wave - relentless
and not caring about the damage
it left in it's wake...

People running up HUGE debts
on credit cards, in some cases
taking equity out of their homes
just to become another victim of
a vicious scam.

I monitored everything, my blood
boiling every second of the day
until it was too much.

That was when the 'Guru Slayer'
was born - a guide created for
an ordinary person to follow a
step by step plan online.

Not hype, not fluff or any BS. Short,
sharp, crisp and to the point.
No high price tag, no hard
selling...

I only hope it will help the market
place return to the state we
once had it in...

Warm Regards,

Andrew Fox
