When You Work for Yourself, Learn to Get Your Praise from God

One of the hardest things for me to adjust to when I left the workplace and came home to have more babies was the lack of appreciation.

I know we’re supposed to get our praise from God but it sure helps to hear someone say “thank you” or “you did a great job” every once in awhile.

So when you start a home business, it’s the same story. There are tons of details to take care of and no one seems to notice that you are juggling 15 completely unrelated tasks and accomplishing most of them relatively well and on time.

They only see that one deadline you missed or that one misspelled word that stuck out like a sore thumb.

People don’t take time to reward others these days.

But we should.

We should look for ways to serve others. We should always try to help anyone we can whenever we can.

Our society has become a bit self-centered and it’s easy to lose our perspective to realize that we are all here to serve God and mankind.

Life is not about “us.”

We are not the center of the universe as some of us think. Instead, we are just part of a pre-existing universe.

We really should be content to get our praise from God.

But when we complain, we lose the reward for all the suffering we’ve endured.

So make up your mind that you are going to work to please God and not man. And if someone just happens to praise you, thank them sincerely. And thank God that He sent them.

Doesn’t it feel marvelous!

Now go find someone to praise. Maybe someone will actually do the same for you!

So many books, so little time...

who won’t count on it so maybe it will happen! Ha!

who thinks you can’t possibly realize how the specialized

Want to be a real estate investor?

Hey,

I personally think everybody ought to own a house. And
after you’ve bought one, I believe you should acquire at
least one more.

Here are the advantages:
You are now a real estate investor and can take advantage of the tax benefits.

You would get a little extra passive income every month when the person living there pays the mortgage.

You could sell the place offering owner financing, thus providing a service to one of the 60% of good folks in this country who can’t go to the bank to get a loan.

If your current owner leaves, you can sell it again. (If they owned the house, they probably fixed it instead of tearing it up as renters are prone to do.)

When you retire at a ripe old age, it will have appreciated, if you bought well, and you can sell it for extra retirement or emergency money.

Notice that I did not say rent a house to renters and collect rent.
There is a better way.

But before you do any of this, you HAVE to get the right
education.

After all, you wouldn’t jump behind the wheel of a boat and
take off into the open sea without first getting the right
education.

If someone leaves you a significant amount of money or if (heaven
forbid) you won the lottery, before you start trying to invest the
money, get a good specific education.

Very few people are successful investing in real estate without first
getting a proper education. The mistakes they will make can be
incredibly expensive. Yes, you can learn by doing but that’s the hard
way.

If you think education is expensive, try ignorance. Drew almost lost
$100,000 one time on one deal.

I went out in the front field in the middle of the night and cried out
to God.
I said, “Oh God! That boy you gave me is about to give away the
farm! Help us!”

Well, God came through as He always does and even though the
price was waaaay too low, the party who won the auction (yes,
it was on eBay) couldn’t come up with the money.
So they backed out and the farm was saved.

And I gave Drew a hollering at that he has never forgotten.
He said, “Well Mama, you told me to get rid of the property!”
And I said, “Yes son, but I didn’t mean to give it away.”

Well, that was a learning experience for all of us. And there was
no one educated in selling houses on eBay to learn from so he
learned a lot of lessons the hard way.
(And I learned to be careful what I tell him.)

But with traditional real estate, there are experts available to learn
from who keep you from making those expensive mistakes.

Lou Brown is one of my family’s mentors. He’s been around for
a long time teaching others about real estate as he continues to
invest personally.

Lou is one of the teachers who have created thousands of millionaire
real estate investors throughout the world.

Everyone I know uses his forms to complete transactions.

At Entrepreneur Days, he is going to show you examples of what he
has taught his students. He’s even going to show you pictures of houses
he has sold over and over.

He has one story of a house he’s sold many, many times since he
bought it years ago. It’s just a normal little house like you have in
your town.

Once you see what he does, you’ll be amazed at how easy it is to be
a real estate investor.

So if you want to be part of the 70% of the financially free in this
country who got there because of investing in real estate, do whatever
you have to do to get to our annual home business conference to meet
Lou Brown this August 24-26.

He is a great guy and you are going to enjoy his presentation so
much! Plus, he can change your life.

If you haven’t grabbed your seat yet, make sure you do it today!
Don’t let anything get in the way of you reaching your goals for
financial independence. Life is too short and your work on this
earth is too important.

I believe that YOU can do it… with the right education.
You didn’t get it in school, so I’m bringing it to you now.

This is where Drew and I learned to invest in real estate and I want
you to get the same Street Smart education we got from Lou Brown.

Join us in Atlanta this August!

And don’t forget to bring your teens!

The Duty of Parents

Hey,

Know what I’ve learned since I started educating my kids
at home 20 years ago? That part of the job of parents is to
help young people discover what they are good at and to help
them prepare themselves to enter the real world of work.

You can either be an employee and work for someone else,
or you can have your own business and work for yourself.

Traditional school prepares us to be good employees. But what
about those kids that just don’t fit the mold? What about those
kids who won’t play the game you have to play to be successful
in school?

They’re not always rebellious; sometimes they’re just different.

Well, I had at least one of those.
His name is Drew.

During the years he was at home, we had a blast learning together
about gardening, then farming, then the stock market, then real
estate, then eBay, then Internet marketing.

We just considered what we were doing as an extension of school,
which it was. It was real school where we discovered real world
activities and businesses that he enjoyed.

We did discover that he was not good with stock market investing.
He’s not a whiz with numbers. But he LOVES houses! So he now
builds houses and teaches real estate investors how to sell them on
eBay.

Who’da thought that he would stumble into something that no one
was doing? After all, he was just a 19 year old kid with some spare
time on his hands.

Well, that’s just the kind of thing that happens when you let the
power of imagination go in a motivated young person. We fueled
it with financial assistance to go to conferences and purchase home
study courses from experienced mentors.

Today Drew is married to the girl of his dreams, expecting his first
baby, building houses with his carpenter dad and loving what he is
doing.

It makes this mom, extremely happy to know that we discovered
his calling in life so early and that we were able to get the education
he needed to begin doing what he loves.

I often see 50 and 60-year-old men who still haven’t discovered
their life’s work. Many are stuck in jobs, just counting the days to
retirement. Many have given up hope of ever being happy and make
themselves content to just get by with not enough.

Personally, I think that is a tragedy.

There is so much more to life than what we’ve seen, especially now
that the Internet has brought the world of business to our very
fingertips.

And I want to help teenagers, moms and those 50 and 60-year-olds
find their call in life.

That’s why I bring expert millionaires to one place every year to teach
folks who are looking for practical education so they can break out of
the rut and find what’s in their hearts to do.

The place I bring them all to is a family home business conference we
call Entrepreneur Days. It’s 3 days of learning, inspiration and
networking with like-minded folks.

If anyone in your house is frustrated about where they are or aren’t in
life, here’s where to find something different.

No matter where kids are educated, I personally believe parents are
supposed to help them find their direction. Since most of us don’t know
what we want to be when we grow up, we may need some help with that.

Well, here’s help!

I’d love for you to join us this August!

who wants you to meet that crazy son of mine who
still sells houses on eBay

When Drew Left Home

Hey,

When it’s time for a child to leave home, it's a hard thing
on a mom.

When our oldest son and resident real estate
investor Drew, moved an hour south last year, I missed
him but knew it was time for him to be out on his own.

I'm very proud of him because of the way he has learned
to think. He is on track to do something very wonderful
with his life. He started off financially free, not in debt and
without a clue about his future.

Last October, he married the girl of his dreams and this
January, they are expecting their first baby! Yahoo!

I'm convinced that if I hadn't changed the way I was educating
him a few years ago, he never would have developed this
entrepreneurial mindset so young. It started with a few good
mentors and I’ve since learned that good mentors are essential.

In fact, now *I* have mentors too! Even though I’m old like
the crypt-keeper (didn’t you just love Freaky Friday!), I’ve
learned so much about education, as I’ve educated my kids.

But whether you educate your kids yourself or not, to have a
home business, I personally believe that you have to have wise
mentors to help you get the right perspective and education.
Mentors can show you short-cuts you would never even know
exist.

And so many people today don’t realize how easy it is to have
a home business. I think it is essential because this world we
live in is shifting daily.

We no longer live in the Industrial Revolution; we’re now in the
Information Age. Times are changing, jobs are changing.

If you don’t take control of your own life by having some kind
of home business, you really aren’t in control of your whole life.
It’s not a bad thing to have a job; it just can’t be your entire source
of income. If you have a job, you have to learn to invest or you could
find yourself in a big mess on retiremennt day.

Drew learned to invest what he earned and to manage his business
well. That’s how he became so successful by the time he was 21
years old.

He managed or owned 24 houses and brought his dad home from
corporate America. Now he owns a construction company and his
dad works for him.

Am I proud of him? You bet! Was it easy educating him to be his
own boss and not to depend on an employer? Nope!

But now that he has proven that anyone with an above average
intelligence can become financially free in this country simply by
applying some basic principles of using real estate and eBay, I am
dedicated to helping others learn how as well.

That’s why I host the only conference of its kind where you can
learn about investing in real estate and the stock market, selling
on eBay, getting a small business grant, and using the Internet for
any kind of business, where kids are welcome!

I want to help family members learn together about small business
like Drew, my husband and I did; yet how can you know who to
trust these days. With all the information available, it’s hard to know.
That’s why I take my responsibility seriously to invite the best mentors
for families.

This August, we are hosting our annual home business conference
where a select group of hand-picked millionaire experts will teach
a variety of ways to work from home. They will be teaching basic
businesses that anyone can succeed with.

And the vision and information these experts will provide can change
your life just like it has hundreds of families who have attended for
the past four years.

In fact, my son Drew will be there teaching how to sell houses on eBay.

If you are ready to learn more about how you can take back control
of your financial life, mark your calendar and get ready to join us.

The deadline for the Early Bird Registration is midnight July 4, 2007.
After that, registration goes up to the regular price.

And when you’re thinking of who to bring, don’t forget that teenagers
learn this technical business stuff faster than us old folks do. Computers
don’t intimidate them at all.

So make sure you bring at least one teen with you.

We also have an affiliate program so you can earn your way there.
Learn more about it in the P.S. at the bottom of this page:

http://www.EntrepreneurDays.com

In the meantime, think about your life and where you currently are.
If you are disappointed with your life, decide to do something
different.

If you aren’t sure which direction to go, join us this August for a small
smorgasbord of home businesses that have worked for us.

You’ll be glad you did!

I hope to see you soon!

So many books, so little time…

Make sure you get a chance to meet Drew and his wife Carol
while you’re there!
