We are all businessmen/businesswomen from the moment we take our first step into a shop. You do a business deal to buy some milk; you strike another business deal with your employer to pay you x amount of dollars per hour. These steps will help you to choose what business you really want to be in.
Write down what you want to do in your life, including goals, places, and people to see. Write down at least ten topics that interest you ( golf, swimming, teaching, tax, NASA, or flying). For each of these ten interests, write down three ways to make money pursuing these interests. If your interest is golf, you could sell golf gear. If you have a passion for swimming, you could become a swimming coach. If you are passionate about teaching, you could become a teacher in whatever field interests you. If you are interested in tax, you could start a small online business in helping people with tax. If you wrote down "NASA," you could find out what NASA needs and sell it to them whether that be your skills, services, products, et cetera.
Speak to people who are already doing some of these businesses. Speak to them by ringing them up and asking for an interview. Everyone likes to be interviewed, and they will be more than happy to talk to you and show you how they make money. Choose the business that is holding your interest the most. Write a business plan and discuss it with your business mentor (if you do not have a business mentor, you can always contact one through online blogs). A good one is listed in the "Sources and Citations" section; just blog a question, and you can be advised on your plan whether privately or publicly. Raise the capital. Write out a daily action plan. Take massive action.
Try to always refer to a business mentor. The mentor will guide you, and you can learn things from each other. Be sure to keep up-to-date with all the currents in the industry. The best way to do this is through blogs. Blogs are updated regularly, and the community will help you if you run into problems and post a question up there. Always make sure that you start off with three times your calculated capital...just in case there are any downturns when you are starting out. In this way, you will not be held back by lack of money.

Welcome Fall Season
The weather is changing real fast. From summer to fall, soon winter is here. We enjoyed wearing those tank top, spaghetti strap top and short,skirt many other summer clothing. Now it is time to put summer clothes away and it is time to dig into those fall clothes that you put away last year.
It's been so cold and I must admit, I'd forgotten how cold chilli fall is since we have a real great warm weather during summer. I admire fall, it is because I love watching tree leave changing to different kind of color, then leaves end up falling down the ground, fells like you want to roll over on them like a kid.

Get Quality Backlinks
Interested in promoting your web site to search engines? To do this will require many links around the Internet pointing to (voting for) your site. There are many online to drop links, some are appropriate some are not. The purpose of this article is to explain what a quality link is and how to go about getting one.
All links are not created equally. And there are 3 things we need to focus on when evaluating links, PR, Page Content & Anchor Text. The best links come from a combination of the 3.
Find a worthy web directory, or SEO friendly web directory .Navigate to the most appropriate category of the web or article directory or area of the forum. If this is a web directory, write an original title and description for each directory (see tips below). If it is an article directory submit an informational article such as "How to Lose 10Lbs in a Week" and include your link in the signature bio. If a forum, just talk about your subject, not your site. Publicizing your site should happen naturally on forums, if not it is looked at as spamming. Rinse and Repeat, but don't do too many in sitting. Link building should happen naturally.
if you are looking for marketing resources, then look for those website directories with marketing links, like DMOZ and business.com.

How to Get Rid of a Manipulative Boyfriend
Sick of your boyfriend taking advantage of you? It's time to get rid of him...here's how.
1. Get support from a close friend or family member.
2. Make a solid plan for how you will separate, what you will do after that if he tries to "get you to take him back" and makes you think it will all be better.
3. Be absolutely solid in what you want for yourself.
4. Make little reminders for yourself that you will see daily, throughout the day, that will strengthen you. (Things like a phrase or thought that when you read it will make you strong--or will remind you of why you need to do this, such as a specific time you were manipulated and didn't like it).
5. Add one or two new things into your life that you are scheduled to do. Like sign up for a yoga class (this helps you to focus your mind and body on your own relaxation and strength as well as gives your body good exercise). Take a free class at a local library or museum, join a amateur sports club, or take music lessons. If you cannot afford to do something that costs money, then go to the library and find out about someone that teaches or knows something you'd like to know more about, and offer to trade services with that person so you can have a scheduled class.
6. Remain strong knowing that you're doing what you want and need instead of wondering what you're going to do.
7. Find out if there are assertiveness training classes from your local police department or women's center. These are often free and will give you good tips that help you to be strong and assertive.
Be strong and stay on your goals. Get some distance, allow yourself some space. Time helps heal. Do not, under any circumstances, communicate with your ex. If he sends you a friendly text-message just to say hey and ask how you are doing, do not text him back! If he calls you, do not return his calls. If you are truly trying to get a guy out of your life, you need to be as firm as possible. If you break up with him and yet are still talking to him on a regular basis, he will be getting mixed signals and might try to squeeze his way back into your life. Just don't do it. Call your phone carrier and ask for a new number. Most allow one free change, and charge a small fee for changes after that. Change your email address too. Giving up your number and email address are a small price to pay to cut off two means of communication that he has with you. Lots of women have had manipulative partners (some that have turned violent) and were able to get out and get help. Seek out these people for good advice and support. Look online for forums to talk.
If he's manipulative, he will probably try to get you to change your mind--if for nothing else, because he cannot stand to be rejected. This would be a good time to have that training from the women's center. He'll probably try to convince you that you're making a big mistake and he's all you have. He'll try to make it seem like you're worthless. Don't listen to him. He's just trying to make himself seem like the best thing that ever happened to you, when really the opposite is true. He will try to get in touch with you first with promises, second with anger and threats, and eventually with guilt. Don't take calls, emails, or texts. Delete them and remember that they are just more manipulation.
