A Business Opportunity Waiting To Happen
by Michael Gifford
THE BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY MAZE
Have you been thinking about starting your own home-based
business? If you're like most people with the same
desire, not only are you having difficulty determining
WHERE to start, you're also confused about WHAT to start.
You have read so many business opportunity classifieds,
received so many offers in the mail, watched so many late
night money-making infomercials, and listened to so many
sales presentations that your head is swimming.
NOW IT'S MY TURN
I'm going to introduce you to what could be your greatest
business opportunity ever. I assure you that you have
never seen anything else exactly like this anywhere at
any price. You and you alone would control its success.
Best of all, it's something you already have which means
it wouldn't cost you a penny to get it started. Permit me
to introduce you to YOU!!!
That's right - YOU! You, the one-of-a-kind individual.
You, the architect of your own dreams and the captain of
your own success. You, the one true motivating force
behind your actions. YOU! You have your own unique
personality, skills and knowledge and because of this,
you may very well be a business opportunity waiting to
happen.
OH, THE THINGS YOU CAN DO!
I know that there are 40 bazillion opportunities out
there and several of them are probably very good, but in
your search for that perfect home-based business, why
limit yourself to what others have to offer? Why not take
a look at what YOU YOURSELF have to offer and create your
own business? It's not like it's never been done by
anyone before. After all, every business that has ever
existed had to have been started by someone!
We stand in awe of people such as Henry Ford, Bill Gates,
and others like them because of what they started and
built their businesses into, yet all they did was take
two things you yourself have and combine them with a
couple of other items that you need to get if you don't
already possess them. They took their KNOWLEDGE and
SKILLS and combined them with a BURNING DESIRE and BELIEF
IN THEMSELVES. They did not wait around for someone else
to give them an opportunity. Instead, each of them was a
business opportunity waiting to happen, and, oh, did they
ever happen.
"AM I?"
Are you a business opportunity waiting to happen? A
little self-examination might help you decide.
Start with a serious assessment of your knowledge and
skills. What are your strengths? What do you do really
well? Can you turn this into a home-based business? Do
you know anyone else who has? How are they doing at it?
Could you improve upon what they do? Write all of this
down.
Now concentrate on what you most enjoy doing in life. If
you could do just one thing for a living and make all the
money you'd ever need doing it, what would that be? CAN
you make a living doing it? Are there others doing it? If
you can't make a living doing it, is there something you
can do that is related to it? For example, if your
favorite activity in life is golf but you know that you
could never make the pro tour, what business could you
start that would allow you to make a comfortable living
while you spend your days thinking about and doing
something involving golf? Again, make sure that you put
pen to paper as you do this important exercise.
Is this all you need to know? No. These questions form
only a starting point from which you can and must proceed
into more intense research. But these questions can
certainly serve to get your creative juices flowing and
help you decide what type of home-based business is right
for you. Besides, it's a lot of fun to just sit down and
dream of the many possibilities of a life spent doing
what you enjoy most.
SO, ARE YOU?
Are you indeed a business opportunity waiting to happen?
Do you have something locked up inside you which if
released and developed into a business would have people
knocking down your door to purchase what you're offering?
Could your success in the business you create be a future
cover story for "Entrepreneur" magazine? Perhaps there
has never been a better time than now for you to find
out.
"If you begin an important endeavor, there is a chance of
failure. If you do not begin, your failure is certain."

Have you found your GOOBI?
by Jeff McCall
Many people spend the whole of their lives searching for that elusive secret to their own success. Often the so-called 'secret' is sitting right under their very nose.
Let's face it, unless you're naturally gifted, making a success of anything involves a whole lot of hard work. A lot of the time, the work we're faced with is often boring and monotonous. Wouldn't it be great if it were fun? Ding, dong! Are the lights starting to flash, and bells starting to sound inside your head yet?
I'm tempted to carry on rambling at this stage, but I know your just itching to find out what a GOOBI is. Am I right?
Well I'll put you out of your misery right now! GOOBI is simply a mnemonic for Get Out Of Bed Inducer. It's that thing that gets you out of bed in the morning and puts a spring in your step. It's also been described elsewhere, as your "Friday night essence". Think about it, what would you happily spend Friday night working on instead of dining with friends or watching a movie?
I was reminded of the GOOBI concept recently, whilst watching a film. The title of the film escapes me, which is probably best because it was rubbish. If I was to tell you the title you'd only go watch it, and then you'd be saying why did he mention that film it was rubbish.
Anyway, at one point in the film, the leading character made a statement that struck a chord with me. He said "The secret to success is to find something you love doing, and do it for the rest of your life!" Of course, he was talking about finding your GOOBI.
So here comes the hard part. To find your GOOBI you have to start thinking for yourself. I know that bit's going to come as a shock to some of you, as a lot of people will go to the ends of the earth to avoid thinking for themselves. Isn't it just a lot easier to run with the flock and let the shepherd and his dog make all the decisions for you?
If you've just answered "Yes" to that last part, then all I have to say to you is "Baaah!". For those of you who don't speak Sheep, roughly translated this means "You'd be better off grazing with the flock, you haven't got what it takes".
If you think that thinking is hard, you ain't seen nothing yet!
(Authors note: "think that thinking is hard" is it me or does that have chicken and egg connotations? Never mind, hopefully you see my point. Let's get back to the plot.)
What do you really love to do? It's a simple question; so don't try to make it a hard one. We're talking about constructive exercises here so don't cheat by saying "Nothing". Anyway, I'm sure you'd get bored doing absolutely nothing for the rest of your life.
The answer you come up with should be your true vocation. If you're totally honest with yourself, then if you do the thing you love for the rest of your life, you can't fail to be successful. You'll literally do anything you need to do, to carry on doing what you love to do. Hey, have I just invented a new tongue twister, or another piece of nonsense rhyme?
So, go find your GOOBI! You know it makes sense, which after reading what I've just written, is more than I do.
Be successful!

Is Working At Home Really For You?
That last question was an important one. Was I ready to give up the daily adult interaction, the support of my peers, the stimulus of being out in the world each day? If the idea of being fairly isolated from others sounds about as appealing as several weeks in a sensory deprivation chamber, you might want to stick it out with your 9 to 5.
With children at home, it's even more challenging. How do you balance the time between kids and work? How do you meet your professional goals and not compromise your children's needs? What are you going to do when your toddler decides to throw a tantrum while you are on an important call with a client? I find that it is extremely important to have a structured day so that I set aside time for the kids as well as my work schedule. I want to accomplish certain things work-wise each day, but I'm not willing to give up the playtime, the homework time, or the just being-together time with my kids. For me, I have found that if I identify daily non-negotiables for work, family time and housework, I'm productive and I get to keep my sanity (OK, I don't really get to keep it, but I have use of it most of the time).
