Simply Write Your Paycheck Sitting AT Home


I am a freelance writer, and, needless to say, I am working from home. I got sucked into this situation by two circumstances. These are:
- At 63 years of age, I am retired;
- A good-size container cannot hold my writing juice.

Do you have the itch?
There are now more than 4 million people, world-wide, working from home and the number is increasing exponentially each month. Yes, the market is getting a little crowded but there will always be a space for people with the itch.

10 Simple Abundance, Prosperity and Success Secrets To Dramatically Improve Your Life Now



If abundance, prosperity and success eludes you it is not because you are not capable. The mere fact you want something means you have the capability of achieving it.
However, wanting something does nothing to ensure you'll get what you want because, more often than not, your focus remains on exactly what you don't want. The fact of the matter is that what you focus on grows.
What this means as that your focus must change from what you don't want to what you do want. And this is not always easy to do.

Power of Visualization In Creating A Better Future


The first thing you have to understand is that in life, in this world, you are a co-creator of your life. What that means is that, God has given you the free-will to create any type of life you want, and you are responsible for all your actions. So, whatever place you are right now- whether good or bad, you created it. And how, you may ask, do we create our life? The answer is in the Bible, Proverbs 23:7- "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he. To rephrase that; "you become what you think about". Whatever thought you hold in your mind for a period of time, inspires you to action, and creates a life based on those thoughts. It is a simple as that.

Money Inside You


Money is very important in our day to day activities in this life, almost everything we do involves the use of money in one way or the other. There seem to be nothing that can be done in this present world without using money. If you look well and consider the system of this world you will find my claim to be really true.

Prosperity: Is the Glass Half Empty, Half Full, Or Does It Matter?


What is your overall view of the world? When you take a good look at what's happening in the corporate workplace of our country, when you see the off-shoring of our manufacturing jobs, the destruction of our own middle class and the impending collapse of both the health care system and social security, do you think, "Ah, all will be well soon enough." Or, like Chicken Little, do you call out, "The sky is falling, the sky is falling!"
We all have certain filters we apply to our view of the world. I try to span a broad range of both optimism or pessimism when it came to describing the reality of being middle-aged, unemployed or underemployed, with the remnants of what was once a retirement plan. While I can paint a pretty dark picture of this reality, I also know the light that exists when we refuse to be a victim of such circumstances.

Simple Way to Prepare a Written Customer Complaint


I am very good at praising organizations and people for things that they do well but I also believe that it is important to tell them when they come up short. There are several important things that you need to do, however, if you truly want to see change in a situation and not just vent your frustration:
1. Put your complaint in writing - I once heard a professional state that when a company receives a written letter of complaint they assume that there are at least five hundred others who are unhappy but didn't bother to write to them. Letters are taken seriously - even moreso than a telephone call or an email.

Bosses Reacting To A Workers' Anti-Social Networking


Employees who use Facebook to rail about their bosses could soon be updating their statuses to "is looking for work."
Since 2009, the National Labor Relations Board has reviewed 129 cases involving comments made by employees on social media sites, according to a study recently released by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. In one of the most recent cases, the NLRB determined that Wal-Mart did nothing wrong when it fired a man who posted on Facebook about his supervisor's "tyranny."
Workers in these cases claim that their online vent sessions ought to be protected under Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act, which grants employees the right to discuss wages and working conditions in order to organize collective actions.
