Looking for Vision for Your Life?

It’s amazing to me that in a society as educated as ours, we don’t help our young people figure out who they want to be when they grow up.

Schools don’t always offer true career guidance.

And you know what? I think that’s probably a good thing. Here’s why.

Guidance is a spiritual thing. God created you for a particular reason. The duty of parents is to help kids discover what it is for them. The problem is, most parents don’t know what they want to be when they grow up. So our country is full of the blind leading the blind.

We need men and women of understanding to shine some light here. Being a person of understanding means you understand how something works. That’s it!

Well, if you could use a dose of vision for your life, consider joining the families in our Protégé program who are discovering new areas of home business they never knew existed!

This Monday night, I want to introduce you to four families who are about to see the power of God change their entire direction!

Join us on the phone Monday, Dec. 3 at 9 PM Eastern Time to find out what they are doing.

The number to call is 605-475-4150

The passcode is 92093#

And if you want to do your homework ahead of time, you can check out our program at http://www.RheasProteges.com

Keep Going!

Do you ever feel like you’re trying to do good, trying to provide well for your family and nothing seems to go right?

In fact, not only does everything not go right, it seems like everyone is against you?

Do you feel like even God is not listening?

Well, guess what?

The same thing happened to Moses. He basically told God, “Why have you dealt evil to this people? Why did you ever send me to help them?”

So many times, it seems like the good work we do doesn’t accomplish what we expect. It could be that like Moses, there is a bigger story happening and we don’t see the whole picture.

It could be that God is trying to show us His power so that after we’ve gone through the trial, we will not just know who He is but we’ll know HIM.

God responded to Moses by saying, “Watch what I’m going to do with Pharaoh. Not only is he going to let the people go, but he’s going to drive them out of the land.”

Then God told Moses to tell the people, “I will bring you out from under the burden of the Egyptians, I will set you free, and I will be a God to you.”

But they didn’t believe it because of their “impatience, anguish of spirit, and cruel bondage.”

If you are in a place where you are starting to doubt that any good thing could ever happen to you, realize where you are. You may have been under too much stress for too long and feel like you are starting to unravel at the seams.

You, too, could be affected by “impatience, anguish of spirit, and cruel bondage.”

But God has put you where you are. It could be that He is about to show Himself to you in a very powerful way, just as He did the Israelites.

So don’t give up. In fact, never give up, especially on God.

Even though times are hard, they could be harder. Even though people around you seem merciless, they could be worse. Even though you may feel like you are in cruel bondage, you still have your freedom.

Ask God to give you insight about your situation from His perspective. Ask Him to show you what He is doing in your life and to make Himself real to you. Ask Him to keep you from becoming bitter about life so that you don’t lose your joy like the guys in Exodus 6 did.

Keep going. Make a list of all your blessings. And never give up hope that God loves you and put you right where you are to do something!

Go find it!

So many books, so little time...

  Writing for the Web Class
  
  This past Tuesday, I announced a class we will be offering in January and February, 2008 to teach writers and editors how to write for the web.
  
  For years, I have needed help putting together all the emails, articles and press releases for our events, classes and mentoring programs but haven’t had anyone trained in each one of those areas to do it.
  
  We also need to produce ebooks to tell all the marvelous stories that are resulting from this move of God that is sweeping across the country where families are going back to working from home.
  
  So that class will begin in January. Deadline to register is midnight, Sunday, December 30.

  Our Philosophy of Home Schooling
  
  I started homeschooling my 7 children in 1987 and decided to fill their lives with practical "real world" education.
  
  My oldest son Drew wasn’t the most academic kid on the block, but when he was just 18, he became a real estate investor.
  
  By the time he was 21, he replaced his dad’s income so his dad could come home from corporate America and care for his elderly father.
  
  Drew figured out a very cool way to sell houses on eBay in just 7 days while getting the price he wanted so now he now teaches real estate investors how to sell houses on eBay and has become a popular speaker at real estate investment seminars.
  
  When I told my Yahoo! Group about it, 100 people came to my house for a one-day workshop. Four flew! The next year it happened again!
  
  That’s how we found ourselves in the middle of hosting an annual international home business conference where families learn how to become financially free together.
  
  That conference has also expanded to educational courses and mentoring.
  
  So, until Midnight, Sunday, December 30th, you can get 20 years’ worth of the lessons we’ve learned the hard way in 3 e-books for less than the price of one! Just $9.97!
  
  After that, we’re going to offer them separately and for much more.
  
  Titles Are:
  
  * "Educating for Success: Developing the Mindset of an Entrepreneur"
  * "10 Things This Mama Taught Her Kids about Having Their Own Businesses"
  * "How to Start a Business with Nothing but an Email Address"

  Accounting Education
  
  One of the dads I am working with who is an accountant has just created a wonderful new resource for small business owners who need help with the financial side of their business.
  
  Not everyone can get a degree in accounting before they begin a business, so Darrel Hawes of Washington has developed an interactive site where you can log on to his forum and ask ANYTHING you want about your finances.
  
  In other words, he is making his knowledge and expertise available for the members of his online small business community. Is that amazing or what?

For a limited time, he is opening his site to charter members.

Grief Support

One of the Moms I am working with, who is a former Hospice worker and social worker, has a heart for helping those who are suffering from grief.

No matter what the cause of the grief is, we all need to learn how to deal constructively with emotional pain.

Pam Clark, a homeschooling mom of five from Colorado, shares her story, her heart and her compassion with the members of her site. She wants to help others step through the grief that is inevitable on this earth.

To become a charter member, visit:

If you know anyone who is hurting for any reason, you are welcome to mention this ministry to them.

Drew’s Smashed Car Story

You can only imagine what life is like with Drew around. Well, this week, he almost sold a smashed car that’s been sitting in the front pasture since his friend wrecked it about three years ago.

He put the auction on… where else?

eBay.

The winning bidder drove three hours from Mississippi to our place, the Backside of Nowhere in Southern Tennessee, to pick up this car.

The winning bidder, Dennis, buys wrecks, fixes them, and then resells them. Well, they had poured gas into the carburetor to start it so just as we were loading the car onto the car dolly, the car caught on fire!

Well, Dennis said, "I don’t think I want that car after all," and left.

So if anyone is interested in a slightly burned, smashed, low mileage Honda Civic, let me know.

Oh, and go read the auction copy before it expires. It’s a riot!

Just go to eBay.com, log in, search for Seller – DrewTheWildMan, then check his completed auctions.

Boys!

************

For years I have been helping families focus on working their way home from corporate America as my son and I helped our dad, Wendell.

It doesn’t happen quickly so if that is your desire, pray and decide to get started.Something is happening in this country.

I don’t think it’s good.

During the Depression, those who had cash in the bank not only survived but thrived when everyone else was jumping out of windows.

I personally believe that those who are prepared financially when hard times arise soon will shoulder the storm better than those who are not.

I am dedicated to helping families enter into the freedom that my family has discovered.

There is more than just having a job.There is more than living paycheck-to-paycheck and focusing on paying the power bill.

If you are sick and tired of being poor and powerless, then make up your mind today that you aren’t going to be content with "not enough" any more.

Decide today that you are going to Do Something to change your life.

Join us, along with others who have decided to change the world!

As we say here in the South, "Come go with us!"

Want to Learn to Write for the Web?

I need writers and editors to help me produce a variety
of marketing pieces, newsletters, ebooks and articles.

English are trained to write for the web.


So I am going to train some folks in January and February,
2008 and provide apprenticeship opportunities for them in March.


If you are interested, join me on the phone this Tuesday night,
November 20th at 9 PM Eastern Time to learn more.


The number to call is 605-475-4150


The passcode is 21414#


If you would love to write for others, this is opportunity. See it?


I hope to talk to you Tuesday!

Here's help...tonight!

When a woman gives birth to a child, she experiences grief because her time to deliver has come. When she has delivered that child, she no longer remembers her pain because she is so glad that her child has finally come into the world.

You may be experiencing sorrow like a woman in labor or worse. If you are, prepare yourself for your Day of Delivery!

Jesus told his disciples, “In the world, you have tribulation, but take courage, I have overcome the world.”

If you are hurting and are more than ready to overcome your pain, join me on the phone tonight when I interview former Hospice worker and homeschool mom, Pam Clark.

She’s been there and she can help. And you’re going to love her new site!

The call is tonight, Tuesday, November 13, 2007 at 9 PM Eastern Time.

The number to call is 605-475-4150

The passcode is 42037#

If you are outside the US, set up an account on www.Skype.com
and call in over the Internet.

I’ll talk to you at 9 PM tonight!

So many books, so little time...

who encouraged herself with this today from John 16

they are still available until midnight, Sunday, December 30.

Need encouragement?

“Anxiety in the heart of a man (or woman) weighs it down, but a good word makes it glad.”

Those are the words of the wisest man who ever lived. His name was Solomon and he recorded them in the book of Proverbs.

Somehow, he knew anxiety. He experienced loss. He experienced despair.

But he must have also experienced the joy of conquering despair through the “good words” of others.

Then he recorded life’s lessons so he could share them with others. Today, thousands of years later, we can still read them in Proverbs, Chapter 12.

I personally believe that each of us should challenge ourselves to continually speak good words to others, especially those we live with. You never know how someone is hurting.

It’s hard to find someone who hasn’t experienced loss of something significant, whether it’s a pet, a boyfriend, a job, a spouse or a parent.

It’s often hard to pull ourselves up out of despair and that’s why it is so important for us to encourage each other, especially during this family season we are entering in November.

Even though families are wonderful, the misunderstandings that often occur aren’t always reconciled. That can cause grief and complications at the Thanksgiving table… if everyone even shows up.

So we have to learn how to deal with grief constructively.

Tomorrow night, I’ll be talking with a grief counselor on the phone who is launching an exciting new site that offers help for the hurting!

Whether you’ve lost a pet or a parent, join us to learn more about a very needed ministry.

My guest will be Pam Clark, a former Hospice worker and homeschool mom from Colorado.

She has a story you don’t want to miss.

If you know anyone who is experiencing grief and could use some words of encouragement, invite them to this call. It could change their life.

The call is Tuesday, Nov. 13 at 9 PM Eastern Time.

The number to call is 605-475-4150

The passcode is 42037#.

We’ll talk to you tomorrow night!

So many books, so little time...
