Entrepreneur: The Last Free American

by: Esther Smith

Along the highway in Dan Diego there is a billboard that quite simply asks in big black letters ? Had Enough? I have no idea whether the person or company that owns the advertisement sells cruise vacations or a better brand of Vodka, but you have to admit it gets you thinking on a long trip.

The older we get the more we hate change. The thought of leaving something familiar through repetition to start over again can be intimidating. There is safety in routine. Still, no one is locked into a relationship or a job. Free will dictates that your life is yours to live. You can walk away from either situation if it isn?t working anymore, or better still drive away and watch it disappear in your rear view mirror.

Why is throwing in the towel so painfully resisted by human nature? Are we too embarrassed to admit another mistake? Are past screw-ups mounting? Is it easier to put off quitting until we?re fired? In my working career I only got the boot once. But he did it with such gentleness that no blood was left on the carpet. He was wise enough to see my lack of enthusiasm; my readiness to fly. I thanked him as we parted.

Not all ideas are good ones. I-changed-my-mind is perfectly acceptable. Use it for heavens sake! Humans are natural learning machines. It?s inevitable that we turn down dead-end roads. In time you begin to recognize the outcome before it even happens.

Failures and moving on are all part of the path to maturity. It?s like trees in the Amazon designed to reach towards the sun?s rays and soak up every bit of sunlight they can get. Not all acorns grow to mighty Oaks. The tree that captures the most sunlight, wins. It will be the tallest and the widest. No one said it would be easy.

The entrepreneur faces an equal struggle. If it was a snap there?d be no dilbert-cubes. Yet these free-thinkers hold a deeper understanding of ?going to happen? vs ?hope to happen?. They are high energy people with long term goals. And they aren?t afraid to take a risk.

No better time in history offers the entrepreneur a fighting chance thanks to the Internet. So close your eyes, hug your computer?s monitor and make a wish. It?s almost that easy. If you?re going to leave the herd and seek your freedom, you have to put one foot in front of another and start walking.

Currently 125,000 people a week go online in search of a Home-Based Business. This alone is an amazing statistic. As an entrepreneur you can now literally work from anywhere while seamlessly running your business. Not any of your clients need to know you are not in some downtown high-rise.

With the bare bones of a mobile office in place you can spend a month in Mexico or on an island in the Pacific. How about working today from a bench in the Park, or under an umbrella at Ocean Beach or a booth in Starbuck?s coffee shop? Your office-bound clients and prospects will travel with you.

With smaller, more powerful laptops, improved internet connectivity worldwide, and variety of cellular and web services to choose from ? we?re no longer confined to the home office either.

Having brought a smile to your face just putting yourself in this picture, I must add that this freedom comes with the personal responsibility for your own taxes, social security contributions, and medical insurance.

However, when you can earn in one month what you have been earning all year as an employee, this will not be a hardship. Calculating your business-use-of-home income tax deductions should offset most of this anyway. Uncle Sam loves us business owners.

For most employees, losing their job is a fearsome and ever-present possibility. As your own CEO, you?ll never again feel like you?re walking a tightrope without a net. Entrepreneurs are -- the last free Americans.

Five Reasons To Do Wireless Networking

Five Reasons To Do Wireless Networking

by: Guy Ames

I believe that wireless networks represent one of the most significant inventions in human history ? almost as important as sliced bread.

Now, seriously, bread is certainly easy enough to cut yourself, but try to wire up a network and you will think of this invention in a different way.

Just to make the whole picture clearer for you, let me give you five reasons why using a wireless network is definitely worth it.

Sharing Web Access

With wireless networking, you can easily and cheaply share one single Internet connection among different computers, without having to use more modems. If that wasn?t enough, you can even include new computers in your network only by using a wireless card and switching them on to have an immediate Internet connection! Not many wired networks would be able to do that.

Sharing Printers and Files

A wireless network guarantees access...

A Wonder Of The Modern Age

A Wonder Of The Modern Age

by: Mitchell Hampson

Are you sick of having no room on your computer table, if so here are a few tips that might help you on your way?

If you still own one of those HUGE CRT monitors maybe it?s now a good idea to purchase one of the new more modern looking TFT monitors, they are a fifth of the size of cumbersome CRT monitors and much more aesthetic looking in the process.

Prices for a good CRT monitor have dropped considerably over the last 12 months and a 17? monitor which I find big enough for most uses can be purchased for around $200.

Other great purchases which are now the much smaller are compact keyboards, even a smaller than normal mouse can be bought for only a few dollars and are often more preferred for the female pc user.

Also you could always turn to a laptop which would be much more portable and you could have it anywhere in the home, making wireless networking a great idea, if you have...

The Truth About Horizon Treadmills

The Truth About Horizon Treadmills

by: Dean Iggo

Hopefully you haven't arrived at this article expecting a rave review of Horizon treadmills.
Although the company, has been around for a long time it seems their treadmills have not kept up with the evolving fitness equipment scene.
In my opinion horizon treadmills should not be considered for your home gym.

At between $700 and $1,400 some people might say that because they are a cheap treadmill you shouldn't be expecting too much.
However I think if you are seriously considering setting up your own home gym then you should be expecting a treadmill that is a) going to perform and b) last longer than the time to your next birthday.
Sure it's a cheap brand but you might not be saying that after you fork out for the costly repairs!

The main problem with the machines is that they are manufactured in China.
Although this keeps the cost of production...

Marketing Power of RSS Content Syndication

Marketing Power of RSS Content Syndication

by: Michelle McClory

RSS content syndication is relatively new legitimate practice in the world of search engine optimization (SEO). Marketing professionals specializing in SEO techniques are beginning to recognize the value of RSS content syndication however, and it seems that the more popular this technique becomes the more effective the results.

The value of RSS content syndication lies in the links contained within the content.
This is because the big search engines like Google and Yahoo! pay a whole lot more attention to incoming links to a website than they did in the past.
We?ll get to content a little later, because it still counts, but it is so important to understand why syndicating content to RSS feeds across the web may make you more money and cost you LESS!

RSS feeds are appearing on websites across the internet in order to keep people up to date with the latest...

Lagos, Portugal ? Casa Rosa and Joe?s Garage

by: Rick Chapo

If you?re a budget traveler or backpacking Europe, Lagos is a cheap slice of paradise. Casa Rosa is the place for general sustenance, while Joe?s Garage is a place to let go.

Casa Rosa

Casa Rosa claims to be the haven for backpackers in Lagos. The more you travel, the more you know such claims are rarely true. With Casa Rosa, however, I can confirm the claim is true. This hole in the wall served heaping mounds of the food of the day for really cheap prices. It was packed with backpackers, which made it a good place to meet people and exchange war stories.

I haven?t been to Portugal for four years, so I have to attach a caveat to recommending Casa Rosa. When I first visited Casa Rosa in the 1990?s, it was owned by a couple of Brits, who were apparently trying to sell it. I dropped in twice in subsequent years and they were still there and still trying to sell it. Whether...
