Please wish me luck or should I say blessings, today I am interviewing a possible prospective who is interested in joining my business… Part of me is already closing this door but I know I really need to have faith and not be so negative about the situation... I’m dog tired and wish I were not up so early but I never can seem to sleep in… When was the last time I forced myself to sleep in?? Oh that’s right Barcelona and that was only because I had jet lag and had to readjust to the time difference… I would do anything to sleep in but I’m one of those “strange” people who feels that sleeping is a waste of time and if you’re sleeping, someone else is getting the business you could have had... call me crazy, call me ambitious… I just know that until I feel totally comfortable in this business I won’t sleep in but the day I do will be a revelation!!! I’m up at 4:30 and in bed by 10:30 or 11:00 every day… then back up to work this home business!! Okay skirts I’m off again… internet marketing, don’t you just love it!!

Uggh.. Other HomeBusiness Workers !!!!
So it’s been a few days since I’ve last wrote in my blog… I’ll give you a quick update because I’m super busy today working on some new fliers... I have to confess that I love working from home but at the same time what comes along with that are communications and dealings with other home workers who have no scruples. What do I mean by this? Well I’m in the business, home business that is of helping other people, of course I do make money from this but my husband had a great job so I’m not a money hungry “whore” trying to scam everyone I can. I do this for something to fill my time, to help others and to have a bit of extra cash and fun… Long story short I have lately been encountering a lot of home workers who email or call me pretending to be interested in what my business is offering and then they start trying to get me to join their business, sale me something or scam me!! Obviously, I’m working from home for a reason and it’s not to give my money away to them! After dealing with many of these ridicules calls/emails and fending off these scam artists, I had finally had enough and the poor soul who emailed me next got the rough end of the stick! I really gave him what-for! Then he responded with, “oh sorry I’m really sorry” I felt really bad about all of this and then apologized and told him that I had just had enough and he of all people (being a work at home individual as well) should understand what it’s like out here and not be harassing me to join his company. I love my home business and don’t need to join any other one, I know my business is real and I have thus far been successful! Anyways, I guess I was really harsh but he turned out to be a good contact and I found out he was new in his business and I then offered o help him to become successful. We became fast friends… So I’m off to get my brochures edited and printed up! I think I’m running of Starbucks fumes..

Paper Cuts and The Post Office...
This is going to be a short post, because I have been working like crazy and need a break from my PC for a while. Well yesterday I decided to dig into my mailing leads, you know people who have contacted me and asked that I send them some info about my business through the mail. I had been putting this off because I had so many other things to do.
Stuffing envelopes and sticking mailing labels is so time consuming but it does usually lead to new business and opportunities to meet new interested parties so I finally hunkered down and decided to get it done. First things first, ran to a staple to pick up six boxes of envelopes, yeah that’s right I said six, then bough stamps.
When I got home I turned on Lifetime and sat in bed stuffing envelopes for 2 hours and need I say by the end I had paper cuts on all of my fingers and somehow had a few on my wrist, which does not look too good!! Finally jumped in the car and headed to the post office, for a Friday morning it was really packed! Stood in line for about 20 minutes and finally dropped off letters and breathed a huge sigh of relief!
On to others news, I got home this morning from the gym and found 2 messages in my inbox from potential business inquires! Very exciting!! Now off to get some rest and then back up bright and early! Thanks for visiting y blog, stop by my site for info on my work at home opportunities!!

Fliers and The Masses!!!
Okay, so here’s what happened when I went out to pass out fliers. I decided to go to a mall parking garage and stick fliers on people’s cars, its mid morning so people should be at work. I started out on the first level because I wanted to make sure that there wasn’t a “no soliciting” sign, didn’t see any so I proceeded... I was pretty nervous because I hate when people put junk on my car and I normally throw it out though there have been occasions where I actually look at it… but I digress. So I hit up a few car windshields on the first level and I noticed a guy looking at me, he was scoping out a parking spot and thinks I’m moving my car, I waved him off and kept posting fliers. Then I decided to move to level 2 because he walked by me and gave me a dirty look, probably a "don’t stick your flier on my windshield" look.
So, on level 2 now, wow there’s way more traffic up here then I imagined! Why aren’t these people at work!! I proceed to post fliers as quickly as I can, see another car following me slowly, “no I’m not moving my car”. So I do a few more fliers and see a “rent-a-cop” security guard in the distance. Great, just what I need. I pack it up and move out. Rent-a-cop doesn’t say anything to me and keeps walking. Thinking of going back there next week!! I love an element of danger!!
So I decided that a lot of people are out walking around so I start handing out fliers to people on the street and also when I pass parking lots with no attendants I stick a few fliers in some of the car windows. Then I see 3 women smoking on a park bench and hand them a flier, they seem nice and take it. Great!! Few blocks away I hand one to this lady who by her reaction I can tell it’s going right into the nearest trash can!! I keep walking and am getting really hot so decide to call it quits for the afternoon but will hand out fliers on my way back to the car. I pass this woman who looks lost and ask if she would like one of my fliers, she frantically waves her hands in the air above her head and shouts “No, No” as if I were attacking her, people are starting to stair!! Well this is quite embarrassing and very ridiculous! I think she’s hilarious though I don’t think she feels the same of me. Wondering what she thinks I will do to her with a flier, give her paper cuts until she hands over her wallet?? Goodness, I laugh (at her) and walk away. Okay I have to get off this block; no one will take a flier from me after that scene! So I turn right and head toward the metro station where I know there are tons of people. Pass out a few fliers and then see the same 3 women from the park bench and notice that they still have my flier! Great a potential client!!! At least something good came of this!! Well off to the next WAH (Working at home) adventure!!!

Hello World!
Hello world, I recently started working from home and let me tell you it has been such an adventure! I’m a Training and Benefits Specialist and I have already recruited a few members to join the company and start working from home themselves! (very exciting) Probably because when I talk to people, they here the excitement in my voice, that or they just sign up to get away from me!! ha-ha, just joking, though when I start talking about the company I just talk and talk and give so much info. I remember I was talking to this lady one the street, I had been passing out my brochures that I made and ran into her. I gave her one and she asked a few questions, before I knew it I was talking for about 35 minutes and she was just smiling and shaking her heard, I don’t think she really got a word in the whole time! I ended up getting her to sign up , but she later told me, the only reason she signed up was because I sounded so excited and she could see the passion I had! I love all the time I put into my business because I know I’ll get results and that’s the best part, doing the work and knowing I can help others to become successful work at home individuals too! Anyways, I’m going out again today to put fliers and brochures up and talk to people. This is one of my favorite things to do. I always meet interesting people, with great stories to tell and without a doubt, I run into some crazy people, some nice people and some really rude people but it only means I’ll have something great to blog about later!! So I’m off to print up my brochures and fliers and I will inevitably be blogging some great story this afternoon about my adventures! Don’t forget to check out my site and send me an email if you have questions!
