Right, you’ve made the big step in your mind you want to start a home-based business – you’re clear on all the reasons why you’re doing this, you’ve realised the your home will never be the same with all the disruptions, asking your family to fit around a business run from home, but the benefits clearly outweigh the negatives, and so you’ve made the decision to ‘do it’.

Plus the idea of ‘being your own boss’ combined with the significant reason to increase your income, all give you the motivation to start your own business. OK, great decision, you’ve made a great decision! …now here’s where it all starts, what do you do? …you want to increase your income, give yourself and your family a better quality of life, have the fun and benefits of working from the comfort of your own home, BUT what are you actually going to do?

Before we look at ‘how’ you make money from home, and go into every detail on how we are going to create together a successful home-based business , let’s first look at the various things you can do from home, to make you money, in other words ‘what’ you could do to make money working from home, either part-time or full-time.

I have spent over 20 years helping people on how to successfully establish and run their own businesses from their homes, and I would say generally those home-based businesses drop into 5 key categories some of which are online (solely built over the internet), some are offline (built without using the internet), and some use a combination of online and offline (combination of internet and more traditional non-internet methods).

Those 5 Categories are:

Service-based Businesses (online & offline) – some examples of this would be child-minding, web development, writing, gardening, catering, etc – it’s a endless list. In fact if there’s something you’re good at, it can easily be turned into a service that people need and are willing to pay for.

MLM or Network Marketing (online and offline) Businesses – regardless of what your initial opinion is of this category (if you indeed ever had one on this category), there are literally thousands of very good companies to choose from. The key areas of product lines from the most successful MLM companies tend to be health care products, skin and body products, and communication services, but there are many other companies with new emerging products. You will need to research product lines and compensation plans to find a company that is a good match for you. Building a solid business through MLM generally requires both recruiting people into the business and selling products.

Affiliate Marketing Businesses (online) – similar in some ways to network marketing (above) in that you earn a commission for sales that you make. These programs are promoted primarily online (though you can promote offline if you choose). While some merchants offer a 2nd payment tier for recruiting new affiliates, the majority of your income is derived from sales. Becoming an Affiliate Marketer is one of the easiest and most popular ways to earn money online.

Product-based Businesses (online & offline) – these can considt of producing/sourcing a variety of products that enthuse you or you feel there is a market for, then selling those products through either/both online and offline methods. The products can be either ‘physical products’ – products that you can physically touch and handle such as soft toys, car accessories, health products, etc – or ‘digital products’ – products that are downloaded such as an MP3 audio file, ebooks or guides, training videos, programs and utilities. The key with all product-based businesses is to be able to identify what a market needs, develop it (or have it developed) and market it properly.

Blogging (online) – this is something that any marketer should consider in addition to whatever business model they choose – it is as much a marketing plan as it is a business model. That said, blogging can also serve as a stand-alone opportunity to work from home and earn a decent income. You can monetize (make money from) a blog with affiliate programs, by selling advertising or sponsorships, by creating and selling products to your readers, or even by participating in the paid-to-blog opportunities.

Yes, there is huge value to being able to 100% focus all your time and energy on your new business, especially when you’re working from home, and the rewards will mean that you business will grow exponentially by being full time over working your business part-time. There is one caveat to this; you need to use all your new ‘full time’ time commitment to really apply to your business – and I mean REALLY apply your energies in a focused way.

I have helped people who have gone from part-time to full time with their new businesses and this increased time input has resulted in them being less ‘effective and productive’ when they are full time than they did when they were part-time. “How is this possible?” I hear you say – it’s a common problem many self-employed people have when they suddenly make the commitment to run their business on 100% of their time; they suddenly fill their days with ’stuff’ that is ineffective and unproductive to their business; ultimately their putting in the hours but not actually doing the things that will improve and increase their incomes.

Some people have said to me “I’m doing more hours but my business isn’t increasing”, and the key reason is that yes the hours maybe being put in, but how productively those hours are being used is the key.

There are only TWO reasons why someone doesn’t get the increase in business as they should…

1. They are doing the wrong things OR 2. They are simply not doing enough of the right things.

My information is intended to help you not make the mistakes to do the wrong things when you run a business working from home, so if when you go from part-time to full time you don’t get the growth in your business with all these extra hours being put in, it’s likely you are simply not doing enough of the right things with all your additional hours you’re now inputting.

It’s really easy to be ‘busy being busy’ but the real key is to identify what actions in your business really make you the money and try to do those particular actions as often as you can throughout your working day and week.

Get into the habit of questioning your actions by saying to yourself “is what I’m doing now really help me to grow my business AND income?” and answer the question to yourself with full honesty. It’s not enough to just ‘think’ what you’re doing is helping your business – is that action clearly and unquestionably improving your income? Because if it’s not, dump it and get on with something that is!

It’s all too easy to get into the pattern of being busy without being effective. The key is to stay focused on all the things that improve your income, and dump or put on the back-burner all the things that distract you from doing the things that increase your income.

Clearly, getting your own business from home up ‘n running can reap huge rewards, satisfaction and benefits, but why should you consider starting your own business working from home? Well just consider your other options? …working from an office, or factory? Working from your car with many hours on the road? It’s only when you consider the other ‘ways to work’ that working from home with your own business seems so attractive.

Let’s look more closely at comparing working from home to your other options

COST SAVINGS – Running your business from an office or any other commercial location involves cost – often big cost when you add up rent or possible commercial mortgage payments, rates, electricity and other utility costs, communication costs – phone, fax, internet – all these costs are often much higher when you are working remotely from a commercial property.

Working from home you can cut much of these costs down dramatically because you will likely be paying residential tariffs for all these outgoings, which invariably work out much cheaper than commercial tariffs.

Also, don’t forget you can actually charge yourself ‘rent’ and a percentage of utility costs for using part of your home as a working environment – ‘home office’. What that means is a percentage of what you pay in your mortgage can be offset against any business tax you pay because you can claim a certain amount as rent, etc, even though you’re working from home. Ask your financial advisor to get more info on this.

MORE EFFECTIVE USE OF TIME – How much time do you (or would you spend) travelling to work? Apart from perhaps the odd phone call on your mobile, or sending a text or two, it’s hard to be effective with your time travelling to work, especially if you drive to your workplace.

I key benefit of working from home is you can get up later (making it more lifestyle orientated), and yet still start earlier. Why? simply because you will have cut out all the ‘dead time’ travelling to and from work. You could be working from home, more refreshed, more effective, and certainly more productive.

QUALITY OF LIFE – One of the challenges of working in these fast-moving times is how much our quality of life, particularly family life suffers. How much time do you spend now away from home because of your work when, if you were working from home, even taking a tea-break means you get to see your partner and possibly your children more.

My father loved me and my sisters deeply, but had a high-powered city job, and so left in the morning to catch a train before we were awake, and invariably didn’t get in ’til after we were asleep, often unfortunately not seeing us awake for days on end! Now that wasn’t really his fault because his ‘job’ demanded he work a long-distance away, but if you had the choice to start your own business working from home, allowing you to spend much more time with those you love, doesn’t that make far more sense?

What is a Masquerade Brigade?
The Masquerade Brigade is similar to the New Orleans concept of a krewe, but much less structured for now. Carnaval Santa Fe masquerade brigades are composed of people in costume who walk through the streets, go out for lunch or dinner, and attend any of the Santa Fe social (or non!) events while dressed in costume. The Carnaval Santa Fe! masquerade brigades will assemble for the first time of the year on Thursday, November 11th at 1:11 p.m.Volunteer firefighters and medics are allowed to have blue lights on their personal vehicles. If you see someone with a flashing blue light, please pull over and give them the road. They are responding to an emergency. Make sure masks have good ventilation and visibility. Don’t use sharp or pointy objects as part of a costume. Use a light rather than a candle in jack-o-lanterns, especially if they are inside.

Where is Leatherface’s costume, masks and chainsaw today?
Ed Neal told me that Tobe Hooper had most props and other equipment (including the original 2 reels of film) in a storage room in Austin, TX. Tobe’s mother got tired of paying the rent on the storage facility and put the box(es) out on the curb to be thrown away. Ed picked up the items for himself. He said that he kept a few items but a lot of it went to the Humanities Research Department of UT Austin. I also posed this question to Gunnar and in an e-mail he sent to me in response.Neoprene is a semi-rigid synthetic rubber, far more durable than regular mask latex. It is frequently used by the film and theatre industries to create masks, puppets, props and costume pieces.

This allows you to enter the cave behind it, which leads up to the ledge.We have dealers throughout the country; please Contact Us to find one near you.

However with a little ingenuity, modifications and trial and error, it can work on trailers with no side rails. Sorry, but if your trailer side rails are over twenty-four inches tall, it will probably not work.There is a bug in Hot Date that assigns the wrong formal hand skin to Sim generated skins.

How do we get gorilla permits?
The number of gorilla tracking permits is strictly controlled, with just six guests allowed to track each group of habituated gorillas each day. In Bwindi there are currently three groups we are allowed to interact with. The permits go on sale one year in advance. The most popular times are during the summer vacation months of July and August and if this is when you plan to travel we should book your permits well in advance. We handle the permit booking for you.Approaching someone at the bar to tell them “I have a giant bag back at my place” may be a somewhat effective pickup line; however, we suggest that you use your Gorilla Bags as a retention tool more than a pickup-line tool. A Love sack is kind of like a Gorillabag. A Foam bag and Foof chair are also similar. However, foof chairs are very poorly constructed – they are the lowest end bag. A Love sack or Love sac, a Foambag, or a Foof Chair are all very similar.

If I book on a gorilla safari will I see the gorillas ?
If booking on a gorilla safari you will be billed for your permit ahead of time.

The trek to the gorillas can take from 3 to 7 hours depending on where the gorillas are.
