As 2008 winds down we as entrepreneurs, need to focus on building a strong foundation for our home-based business in 2009, which soon will be upon us. There are discussions in every household around the world about the changes that will be taking place, globally, locally and in all of our homes. As people are preparing for what might be the worst economic times that we have faced in some time they are searching for a way to lessen that impact personally.
No longer should we take for granted that our parents and maybe even grandparents will be fine when everyone else struggles. Those that were born between 1925 to 1945 (the Silent Generation they are called) started out their life with many trials and tribulations. Between the Great Depression and a World War their numbers are few. As that generation grew and started to become self-sufficient there were many jobs to be found. “They were probably luckier than the baby boom,” states David Foot, author of Boom, Bust and Echo. “They entered the job market in the 1950’s were promoted quickly, they did better than they ever expected to do and they’re the ones who are probably the richest people in the country.” They did exactly what was expected of them just like the generation before them. “They were conservative, hard-working and they lived well below their means. They were not big spenders and did not run up trillion dollars of credit card debt,” states Ken Gronbach author of the Age Curve: How to Profit from the Coming Demographic Storm. This silent generation saved more and accumulated less debt. The future was supposed to be bright.
Fast forward to 2008, the markets are falling, pension plans are crumbling, the years that were supposed to be golden just do not look so bright anymore. Those that were born in 1938 have to start their mandated withdrawals from their retirement funds in 2009. Due to the market collapse this past fall the majority of seniors are finding that they have lost 45 – 50 % of their retirement fund. What was meant to be a nest egg large enough to outlive them and allow these folks to live comfortably now looks like a broken dream. “These people have no recovery” Mr. Gronbach said. “Depending on how long they live, they’re going to have an interesting 10 – 15 years.”
Some will take what comes and hope for the best, some will sit quietly not wanting to burden their children and grandchildren but others have already started to actively look for another income to help offset their investment loss.
This Christmas and into the New Year we have to remember these people, do not be afraid to approach them and offer our business to them so they have a means to live out their life the way they originally thought that they would be doing, with financial stability.
These people raised us, taught us right from wrong, and helped us when we were down. Now is the time to repay that favor, offer a helping hand, encouraging words and insight into today’s marketplace.

The Twelve Success Factors in Your Home Based Business - Part 3
There is no easy way to become successful. It takes a lot of hard work and most of all perseverance. There are twelve factors that you can learn and once they are applied it will increase your ability for lasting success.
Self-Awareness
Self-awareness is being conscious of our actions, feelings, attitudes and their effects. Once we have full self-awareness we get to be much better at determining which actions benefit us and which actions do not.
We sometimes, as humans, have a tendency to make excuses for not achieving the goals that we have made for ourselves. Once we are aware of the excuses that we make and we stop blaming others we often start searching for ways that we can accomplish our goals rather than looking for the reasons why we cannot get something done.
Act “As If”
In order to achieve success we have to act as if we already have success. The video/book The Secret was very good at trying to get this point across. We attract to us the way that we think. If we act as if we will be successful we will become successful much quicker. You do of course still have to do the work to get there but you will attract success to you much quicker. I am not saying go buy a mansion, I am speaking about the traits that a successful person has. Those traits are that of focus, perseverance, dedication and passion.
Zero-Based Thinking
It sometimes becomes difficult to make decisions when we are trying to succeed. So we need to apply a technique called zero-based thinking. It is simply a matter of asking yourself a few questions that will clear your mind and give you an honest answer. The question is simply “If I was not doing this right now and knowing what I already know would I start it up again?” If you say no then you best change the path you are taking. If you say yes then stay focused and drive to the finish line.
Once you start to ask that simple question you can make decisions quickly and without distractions.

180 Days to Greatness – My Personal Journey, December 14, 2008
Hello Suzanne Lavigne here again with my update on the group that I am involved with called 180daystogreatness.
Again another action packed week that has been full of work and the urgency to get things accomplished. When building a home based business you have to move with a sense of urgency and our coach, Nadira Haniff makes sure that we do not get complacent. When you do, that is when you start to put other things before your business and before you know it your business is no longer the priority.
That being said, I do believe that family is still the priority but lets face it there are just some things that really do not need to get done daily. Take laundry for example, I have a family of five so I still do laundry every day but it definitely no longer gets folded on a daily basis. Heck our pool table has now taken on a new name. It is called the laundry table, if you want to find something that is washed you go look on the pool table and as far as playing a game of pool you have one night that it is open for playing before the laundry starts to be piled on again. Of course this is just an example but I know there are a lot of ladies that can appreciate that story and if someone complains tell them they can fold all the laundry themselves and I bet they will never complain again! As you can tell I do prioritize and my business will come before laundry any day.
This past week Nadira held a tele-seminar that was again a huge hit for those that attended. What was supposed to be a one hour long seminar turned out to be two and a half hours. The time went by so quickly as I sat intently watching the PowerPoint and listening to what was being said. This information ranged from business strategies, to marketing to list building and so much more. Information that is required by everyone who is growing their home based business both online and offline. These next 12 weeks are very crucial for your business as decisions are being made as we speak by households all over the world on ways to improve their life in the coming year. That could mean a healthier lifestyle, extra income etc. Everyone needs to prepare their business now for the growth that will be taking place in the next 12 weeks. Now is not the time to become complacent. To learn more on what is required to move your business forward in the New Year join 180daystogreatness NOW!
One other piece of information that I would like to share with everyone is I have another website that is now up and running. It is called SecondIncomesNow and if you have time pop on over and check it out, let me know what you think. I love feedback both positive and negative as that is how we learn.
So take this week and get busy laying the foundation for the growth that will take place in your business in the coming months, prioritize your activities, join the "FREE EXPLOSIVE Marketing Tips" tomorrow MON evening @ 9:30pm EST and leave the laundry for another day. If anyone asks just tell them that Suzanne said it was okay.
This way I will see you all at the top, the very top, the tip top…

The Twelve Success Factors in Your Home Based Business - Part 2
There is no easy way to become successful. It takes a lot of hard work and most of all perseverance. There are twelve factors that you can learn and once they are applied it will increase your ability for lasting success.
Two Degrees of Separation
This is a principle that states if you habitually change something that you do everyday, even by the smallest amount, you can dramatically change you future.
Failure
Successful people know that failure precedes success but it is how you react to those failures that determine how successful you will be in life. You have to treat every failure as a learning experience, an opportunity to do better next time.
You have to learn to view failure as a stepping-stone to success. Then and only then will it bring us closer to our goals.
Positive Habits
Habits are activities that we do daily and because we have done them so often we do not have to think about them or put any effort into them. They just come naturally to us. The habits that you choose could change your life dramatically either in a negative or a positive way.
When you have a negative habit and you want to change it into something positive you do have to realize that sometimes things may get a little worse before they get better as it takes time for your conscious and unconscious mind to grasp what you are trying to do. Focus is the key here because without consciously focusing on the change you will not be able to change the habit for any length of time.
It is in your best interest to change those bad habits into good habits so you will enjoy future success.
Please join me over the next few days to catch the remainder of the twelve success factors.

The Twelve Success Factors in Your Home Based Business - Part 1
There is no easy way to become successful. I have learned over time that there are really only twelve factors in your home based business and in your life that determine your success. It takes a lot of hard work and most of all perseverance. Once you learn these factors and they are applied it will increase your ability for lasting success.
Choices
Whether we like where we are in life at this present time or we dream of being someplace bigger and better we all have to realize that we are where we are today because of the choices that we have made in the past. We are 100 % responsible for where we are and once we all realize that then and only then are we mentally capable of moving on to greater success.
How we react to different situations in our day-to-day life dramatically affects the direction that you will be going. Remember success is a matter of choices and only you can make the choices that are right for you.
Positive Attitude
We all know the saying that the cup is either half full or half empty. Those with a positive attitude will always see the cup as half full and the bright side to any situation. People tend to follow others that think and act positively because they are more fun to be around. They are the ones that will have people follow them no matter what they are doing in life because they make people feel good about themselves. Those of us that tend to have a negative attitude seem to be depressed, lonely and miserable.
If you would like to succeed in life remember that attitude plays a bigger role then what you may think. A positive attitude is everything.
Focus
We need to learn to focus on the end results and accomplish tasks that are critical to our success. When working on daily tasks we need to ask ourselves, “Will that put us closer to achieving our goals” and if the answer is NO then we need to stop, refocus and start on another task so that we are heading in the right direction. When you have a home-based business it becomes very easy to do menial tasks that waste our time because there is no one around to hold us accountable.
When you learn to focus and act on the end results you head in that direction because you are not wasting a lot of time and energy doing the small, menial things. You focus on the goal, see the end result and you increase your ability to achieve success.
Please join me over the next few days to catch the remainder of the twelve success factors.

180 Days to Greatness - My Personal Journey December 7, 2008
Hello, Suzanne Lavigne here for my update on my personal journey in the group “180 Days to Greatness”. I cannot believe that it has been a month since I have sent an update out to everyone.
You may have thought that I had given up and decided to quit or that I was asked to leave because my performance was not what it should be, but it was neither. I have just been so darn busy trying to get all the activities completed that are required for me to grow my home based business to where I want it to be.
Things have not slowed down one little bit in the last month, instead they have gotten even busier. In this program, our coach and mentor Nadira Haniff makes sure that everything is done with a sense of urgency and once you apply that to your business it is hard not to act like that in other aspects of your life. I feel that my step is a little quicker and there is a bounce there that never use to be there. I have noticed people look at me in ways that they never use to also. It may be the smile that is on my face or the sense of determination that I now carry with me. Either way they are both because of the 180 days to greatness program. My future that I have been waiting for is finally within my grasp, I can see it and I will not let it slip through my fingers.
There is so much that I have been taught in this program and I know that there is still so much more to come. I urge everyone to register for the FREE webinars that Nadira Haniff holds every Monday at 9:30 am ET or if you would be interested in signing up for some FREE all day training you can do that also!
With the economy the way that it is right now the time has never been better to invest in yourself and in your business so for those that are ready you can join our group right now and start your own journey of self discovery with your home based business and 180daystogreatness.
I will see you all the top, the very top, the tip top….

Network Marketing – It is not a Walk in the Park
It takes a certain kind of person to get involved in network marketing and succeed. That person has to be a self-starter and be ready to take on the world. They have to be ready for the ups and the downs and realize when they need to get educated in different areas of their business. You may know that you cannot do it on your own and you look for a great program that has a coach and a mentor that will teach you along the way. That is the very first step that should be taken for your success.
The myth that a network marketing business is easy has long been put to rest. I am not saying that your networking business will be physically hard, even though there will be a lot of sweat put into your business, but what I am saying is there are days when it is mentally challenging which can be just as hard, if not harder on you than manual labour.
Mentally you have to be strong because when it seems like you are not getting anywhere you have to be able to keep going. Also family and friends may mock you because of what you are doing because they do not have the same belief in the system and the program that you do. You also have to be prepared for the naysayers out there, those dream stealers, those people who will be negative no matter what you do just in case you do succeed. They do not want to see you succeed because then they will be proven wrong and they themselves will feel like they have accomplished nothing.
So as far as your network marketing business goes it is definitely not easy. There may not be blood put into your business but there is a lot of sweat and maybe even tears and a handful of frustration but you have to remember that it will be worth it in the end when you rise to the top because you never gave up.

The Five Steps to Success in a Home Based Business and in Life
In any home based business just as in life we all have some idea of what success means to us. In this article I am going to give you the five steps to success, which will help you begin the journey of a successful business and a successful life.
Step 1: Define Success
If you were to ask everyone to define success they would all come up with a different answer. So to find out what success means to you, you will need to list them as quickly as they come to you on a piece of paper. This could be anything from material possessions like a new car to personal items that mean something only to you. An example of that would be to spend time with your aging parents and be able to stay as long as you want. Not being told you can only stay a week because that is all that your job allows.
Once this task is complete, take 30 minutes or so to do this, you then have to sit and prioritize that list. This has to be done on a happiness scale. So whatever will give you the most satisfaction and make you the happiest will be rated as #1.
This list will help you to focus on what will improve your life significantly.
Step 2: Asking the Why
Once you have defined success you need to take a closer look at why you want to be successful. Does this mean you will have more freedom, less stress, a better relationship with your family etc? Once you have your why you will increase your ability to succeed but you need to review that why daily. Post this somewhere that you can see it daily so you will be motivated to keep going when times get tough.
Step 3: Assess Your Situation
You first need to know where you are so you can determine the best way to get where you want to go. To do this you need to take the list that you developed in step one and assess how close you are to reaching those goals. You may be close to reaching some but still have work to do to reach others but with work and perseverance you can achieve all of those goals.
Step 4: Determine a Course of Action and Start Your Journey
Just like taking a road trip you need to chart your course so you can determine the most direct route. To do this you need to follow the twelve success factors previously posted and remember that you are not alone. Seek the information that you require by people that have been there and done that. Educate yourself and find a good coach that can offer guidance when you need it.
Once you have determined your course of action start immediately.
Step 5: Chart Your Progress
Make sure that you stop at regular intervals so that you can chart your progress. This helps you stay on track and helps you to determine if you are where you wanted to be at the right time. Making sure that you are on track also keeps you motivated to keep going. By seeing how far you have come and how close you are to reaching the goals on your list will renew your energy and help you to keep pressing forward.
There is a program that is now available on line that is unlike any other. It is called 180daystogreatness and has been in the making now for four years by creator Nadira Haniff. It is a hands on program that gives people enrolled one-on-one coaching to develop both mindset and skill set that is required to be a successful leader. Once your business is soaring you will have the opportunity to renew confidence and belief in others so that they too can achieve incredible heights in their financial and personal life.

Step 5: Chart Your Progress
Make sure that you stop at regular intervals so that you can chart your progress. This helps you stay on track and helps you to determine if you are where you wanted to be at the right time. Making sure that you are on track also keeps you motivated to keep going. By seeing how far you have come and how close you are to reaching the goals on your list will renew your energy and help you to keep pressing forward.

Small Business and Home Based Business Owners, the Time is Now to Build for Your Future!!
We have all read the headlines as of late.
The New York Times –“ Dow Plunges 680 Points as Recession Is Declared”
ON CNN – “CITIGROUP TO LAYOFF MORE THAN 50,000...”
Canada.com –“Bankruptcy or bailout? What's really ahead for Big Three?”
There is much fear out in the world as the global economy seems to be faltering. The recession that started months ago is definitely beginning to show in all areas, the auto industry, mortgage companies etc. I was listening to an economist on the radio the other day and he stated that some states are in such a deep recession, that they are actually in a depression but nobody wants to say that word as there is enough fear portrayed in society already as uncertainty arises every day in the economy.
Now, however is not the time for that same fear to grip us as entrepreneurs. We have so much to share and so much to offer to these people that it would be unjust for us not to offer an opportunity to those who may need it, and the knowledge to those who aspire to greatness. More people now then in the last few years are looking at ways to make a second income. It could be to retain their lifestyle or it could be the need to pay the mortgage and buy groceries. Whatever the reason, people are looking for options.
The same economist also stated that 11.5% of the people that have lost their jobs have also lost the hope of finding a new one and have adversely lost the motivation to seek employment. They are left to live on what little the government has left to offer them. Entrepreneurs are the people that can help to turn their life around!! We can provide hope for their future.
For those companies that are not in deep debt now this will be great entrepreneurial times. It is the small businesses, the home based businesses that will survive these hard times and get this economy moving forward once again.
Fellow entrepreneurs! Now is not the time for us to stand down. This is not the time for us to think negative thoughts that will add focus toward the suffering economy. We need to stay strong, dig deep within ourselves and get ready to push forward with our business in a way that only entrepreneurs can.
We are the hope, let’s go deliver!!
