Extremely Odd Results....Or Not?

The other day I asked several people on the street, in the mall, and in stores (10 actually) if they were willing to work hard for 15 days to earn about $15,000. The answers ranged from, "What kinda work?" to "Hell yes!" The odd thing was most people just said, "No." or "I don't have the time." They did not even ask how many hours a day. Why were they not concerned with how many hours a day?
So I changed my question to this: If you were paid overtime pay for about 10 to 15 hours each day for 15 days on your present job, would you? Once again I was astounded by the answers I received. Almost everyone said yes!
If a person makes, say $10.00 per hour, the overtime rate would be $15.00 per hour. Now if they worked 15 hours a day at this rate it amounts to $225.00 (US Dollars). This times 15 days would equal $3,375 (US Dollars).
The reason this is astounding is because they were not willing to work hard for the same number of hours in their own home to make $15,000.00 for their own bank accounts, but they were willing to do it on their existing JOBS to put money into someone elses pocket. Sure they would have earned $3,375, but the people they work for would have earned much more.
So I ask you, what's wrong with this picture?
It's called a Paradigm pronounced:(para-dime). Paradigm Paralysis, if you will. The inability to see beyond the current models of thinking. Get my point?

Happy Holidays

As 2007 comes to a close I would like to wish everyone a Happy Holiday season and a very happy and prosperous New Year.
I would also like to say that without dreams we would have nothing. Dreams are what we see all around us. If we dream it, it can be accomplished. If we feel the desire, we can achieve anything.

These are just a few of my favorite great dreamers: Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Richard Branson, Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, Walt Disney, Benjamin Franklin, and Henry Ford. There are many, many more.

Funding Your New Business

So you're thinking about creating a business of your own. A business which you enjoy doing and where you can be your own boss. There is a lot to think about and many preperations to make:
*type of business*type of products*location*brick and mortar or online business*customer service*shipping/Receiving*feasibility studies*number of employees*customer base*capital (How much will be required and where is it coming from?*advertising*etc., etc.
I went through the same thing. Everyone does when they decide they are tired of exchanging a period of time for a paycheck. It's called being an entreprenuer. Taking a chance it will all come together and you will become successful.
There are a lot of statistics around which suggest between 70% to 80% of new businesses will fail in their first five years. A lot does depend on the industry and other varying factors, but the indication is that the odds are against you.
Capital funding seems to be the biggest headache for most small businesses. Especially for getting through slow periods.
There is a way to find the capital you need without having to use banks and other lending sources. Raise the funds yourself! No loans to repay. Ever!
