If You Are A Minority Business Do You Expect Only Minorities To Support Your Business?

Let's talk business for a minute, a lot of people think if you are a minority business owner, only minorities should patronize your business.

I think if you are of this thinking you are headed for a downhill spiral.   Walmart doesn't just cater to a certain race of people and all kinds of people shop there.

This is what makes a great business because money is coming from all communities and it is the perfect way to have a successful business.

You will continue to stifle yourself if you want to put pressure on one race to fully support your business because it isn't no one's responsibility to make your business great.  if you sell the right products, you will be able to grow in more successful markets.

Take pride in your business and treat all people fairly, don't take shortcuts because bad reviews will kill your business.

Stop shortchanging your customers and expect them to pay more for an item that they can get somewhere else cheaper.

Update your business to keep it looking new and attractive so people will continue to support your business because they will see that you take pride in it.

Example: I went to a restaurant and the workers were very rude and they served my food on chipped plates. Needless to say, I haven't been back because that is just wrong, wrong, wrong!

Be friendly and inviting when someone visits your business and you will notice that people will feel good about patronizing your place of business.

Bottom line, go to your favorite business and see what makes them popular and successful and follow suit and you will be successful as well.

You Are Terrified Of Being Successful And You Are Stifling Yourself

You are terrified of being successful and you are stifling yourself.

Hello, everyone, I decided to do this post because I have been in this situation myself.  Sometimes you are presented with opportunities and because they are new, or foreign, you are completely terrified.

Whether it is a new job or a new move, you can be so scared of the unknown and you will start to talk yourself out of being successful.

There are many instances where this occurs and I have seen people who want to move out of a bad environment and when they make the move, they are still unsatisfied, why? because they are scared that things may actually go their way in a more positive direction.

I am sure many of you have seen people who have been in bad relationships and finally find a good one will do everything in their power to ruin or get out of a good relationship because they are programmed for failure.

We can want to make changes but if we don't push forward in spite of adversity we may never get to the place where we want to be in life.

Life is hard, very hard, and if you continue to sit on your hands or make excuses, you will be stuck and stifled because of your decisions.

I have some projects in the works right now and I am frankly scared to death, scared of not making it but also scared of all the work that will have to go into making this project work to my satisfaction.

Nothing in life comes easy so I will say that you should try anyhow because if not you will never know and you will have regrets.

How To Go From Being Poor To Being Rich.

We always think about the things we will be able to do when we achieve financial stability but we don't think about the preparation that comes before obtaining riches.  Some people were born into this lifestyle but for others, it wasn't easy and it took a lot of years and a lot of hard work.  Let's look at some of these videos to see into the lives of wealthy people.

Am I Too Old To Be A Blogger??

I have been thinking about this question for a while and it has even come up in conversations.  Am I Too Old To Be A Blogger??  Well, I am going to say, Heck No!  

Blogging is a hobby for me and it has the potential of becoming a business, would you ask an Author whether they are too old to write, no you wouldn't.  

As a blogger, you have the chance to share your life and your experiences with others and we all have the ability to start thought-provoking conversations with each other.  I plan on taking blogging to new heights and build a business that will be here even when I am no longer here.

Never let anyone put you into a box because of your age because that is stifling and also prejudicial. You are in charge of spreading your beautiful message throughout the world to share your knowledge, expertise and the jewels that living a ripe old age has given you.

So spread your wings ( old bird) and fly to new and greater heights.

If It Don't Make Money, It Don't Make Sense.

If It Don't Make Money, It Don't Make Sense

I have heard people say this for a very long time.The phrase itself is not grammatically correct 

but, because of my southern roots, I understand what it means.  Many of us are involved in businesses and we are working hard to make it work and to get a stable income from our efforts that we put into it.  The truth of the matter is, It will take a while to see major growth for our money making activities.

A lot of people think, if they start a business, they will automatically get a lot of sales right away and that is not the case.  I agree with the phrase somewhat, because if you are spending a lot of money to start this business and you are not seeing major financial gains, you may be wasting your time. It is very important to stay on your job until you start seeing some real profit from your business.

Make sure to curb unnecessary spending while trying to grow your business. Sometimes you may have to change your money making strategy.  As long as you are not losing a lot of money, you should stick to your business goals.  If you put more work into it, you will start seeing the fruits of your labor.

Those of us who are working online know that our journey isn't going to be easy and it will take year's sometimes but I believe that God will bless your hands and your efforts that you put forth. Don't get weary and discouraged, keep it pushing!

So, you want to work at home huh?

So, you want to work at home huh?

Working at home can be very rewarding; I used to  do it many years ago.  If you have small children this could be the right solution for increasing your income while staying at home.  It sounds like it is so easy to do but it isn't.  If you are a person who isn't used to working independently you may have a problem.  When working at home you would have to give yourself a schedule to follow and the times when the kids are at school or sleep you could put in the work that is needed.

Some people are not cut out for this kind of work because they are not good at starting a job and finishing it without someone looking over their shoulder. You really have to have some self-determination or you will really fail.  If you do not put in your hours you will not make enough money to take care of yourself.

When looking for a work at home job, you have to be careful because there are a lot of scams out there.

• Never pay money to start a work at home job unless you carefully researched it and it turns out to be legit.  Most work at home jobs you will not have to pay anything.
• Check out Backstage Newspaper for some opportunities and also carefully research craigslist because sometimes they do have some jobs but you have to be very careful because there are some unscrupulous people there.  If it sounds too good to be true, it is.
• There are many YouTube channels that promote work at home opportunities and they are legitimate.

If you do not find any opportunities you could start your own small business to work at  home.

Be aware you have to pay tax on this income because you are considered an independent contractor.
