The Ultimate Entrepreneurial Field Trip for Parents & Teens
You may remember that last year I went on my first retreat hosted by Rhea Perry in Destin, FL. I had a fabulous time and am still reaping the benefits of this educational and inspiring gathering of homeschooling families seeking to give their children an alternative to the many pitfalls of “traditional” employment. I found the retreat to be an endless source of ideas and motivation too!
Tuesday, August 31st, Rhea is hosting a webinar that will discuss why your kids don’t need a lemonade stand. Below is the invitation that I got in my email last night. Since it’s Rhea’s event I figured I’d let her explain it to you, so here it is:
If you’ve ever encouraged your children to set up a lemonade stand on the sidewalk out in front of the house… and thought that was entrepreneurial… consider this:
- You may be preparing them for future bondage.
- You may be training them to swap their hours for dollars.
- You may be setting them up in what could be the beginning of a business that runs them ragged, stresses them beyond belief and doesn’t accomplish their goals.
There are secrets to implementing the mind of Christ in business which waaaay too many of us haven’t discovered. So how can you train your children to develop a godly entrepreneurial mindset when you haven’t been trained to have one yourself?Well tomorrow night, Tuesday, August 31st, my team and I will be hosting a webcast to discuss just that.
We’ll be talking about:
- How to Develop a Godly Entrepreneurial Spirit in Your Children
Did you notice I said, “my team and I”?
(Doing your work with a team is just one key.)
This is just part of what we’ll be immersing ourselves in at the only 3-day live event of its kind for parents and teens on Oct. 1-3.
My team and I are hosting the Ultimate Field Trip where parents and teens can learn together 3 important things.
How to:
*Get vision for your life’s calling
*Start and build a home biz
*InvestIf you want more out of life than just a job… even in a turbulent economy… join me tomorrow night on a webcast that could change education in your house forever.

Then forward this invitation to everyone you know who is sick of having just a job and who wants to make an impact in life instead of just a living.
Oh, and if you’ve heard that my husband is in the hospital, yes he is. He’s been battling prostate cancer for years. We’d appreciate your prayers for his healing.
Never in a million years did I think that I would have to take over the responsibility for my family with four children still at home. But you never know what the future will hold so you have to do what you have to do to survive.
I’m just thankful that because I have an internet business, I can keep working while my husband is sleeping soundly in a hospital bed beside me. We’re taking him home tomorrow where Hospice will help us take care of him.
You never know how long you have your loved ones with you so don’t let stupid mind games and silly pride ruin your relationships. Live in forgiveness and learn to develop the mind of Christ. Love your family members no matter what. God is for you and wants you to do exceedingly well in whatever you choose to do with your life. So make the most of it and GO FOR IT!
So many books, so little time…
Rhea!

Is a Greeting Card Business for Me?
Did you know that the greeting card industry is a 7.5 billion dollar per year business in the United States alone (it is also estimated that American families purchase an average of 35 greeting cards each year and 80% of these purchases are made by women)? That’s an awful lot of purchasing going on!
That just goes to show that if you have ever wondered if you could have your own business selling greeting cards there’s definitely room for you. It’s a matter of finding a specific target market or niche to sell to and answering a few questions about yourself like:
- Do you enjoy bringing a smile to someone’s face? Read the rest of this entry »

If You Love Writing Ghostwriting Could Be For You
Ghostwriting Success Smaller
On Friday we discussed how many businesses turn to PLR to help provide content for their blogs. And regardless of where you stand on to PLR or not to PLR, the need for behind the scene writers, also known as ghostwriters, is huge. Content is king and the thought of having to add fresh content on a regular basis to a website, a blog, article directories, etc sends some people running for cover.
That’s where you come in. If you have a love for writing, a knack for words and don’t mind hanging out behind the scenes and letting someone else take credit for you hard work ghostwriting is a perfect avenue for you to take. Read the rest of this entry »
PLR vs. Ghostwriting: Which is Better??

So, when you need content (and are too busy to write your own) which should you choose? Let’s analyze both options to find out which option is right for you. Read the rest of this entry »

Visualizing Your Goals
One thing that I have found to be very helpful (even though I was a BIG skeptic when this process was brought to my attention) is having a vision board. The premise of a vision board is that humans are visual learners and what we see works through to our subconscious and can motivate us to accomplish our stated goals because it helps us to imagine ourselves in the photos — a bigger office, a big house, cool vacation, eating healthier, etc. It sounds hokey, but it has really helped me with my focus.
You can create physical vision boards that you hang up on the wall of your office full of pictures, plans, etc. BA company named OrangePeel Systems created a beautiful computer based version of this process that I love. I have pictures of my family, vacations I want to take, business goals and health goals. I have different themes setup complete with my favorite music and animations. It’s really cool!
They have just released a time-limited FREE version of their highly acclaimed vision board software, allowing you to experience firsthand the amazing results that can be achieved through visualization – at absolutely no cost to you!
With many years professional experience designing and developing educational and motivational systems, OrangePeel have now created a complete Visualization Kickstart Pack specifically designed to help you discover your true potential as quickly and easily as possible.
In addition to your complimentary vision board software, the Visualization Kickstart Pack also includes a complete 50-page user guide, which will take you step-by-step through the entire process of creating your own ultimate vision board.
With the Visualization KickStart software you can visualize your goals and dreams in unique and dynamic ways on your computer screen and other digital devices (PDA, iPod, etc), using your own images, affirmations and audio or by simply selecting the elements you need from the (bonus) free online media library.
Download your FREE Visualization Kickstart Pack today and you’ll also receive a personal 7-day email coaching and training program to help you become familiar with the concept and optimal use of your new vision board software. Throughout the free coaching series you will be shown proven ways to effectively apply goal-setting and visualization techniques plus discover just how much your present beliefs may be holding you back (and what to do about it!)
This is incredible value, easily worth hundreds of dollars, and today you can have it all – completely free!
