The book NOT IN MY HOUSE! By Pastor Andre Butler confirms everything that I have always believed. Recession does not have to come to your house just because it comes to a nation. This is a book that was very hard to put down. You can start implementing a strategy to get out of debt by reading this book. If you are not a tither, you need to start tithing. If you know someone who is without a job, give them this book. If you know someone who just doesn’t get it when it comes to God’s way of doing things financially, this book is for them.It is amazing how we have been sold a bill of goods about depending on debt as a way of life. A lot of people, pay for items with cash. I am sure a lot of you pay for things in cash. I know of some people who will save up the money to purchase a vehicle in cash. I think I will try that the next time I get a car. I have always heard that it is better to have a 15 year loan as opposed to a 30 year loan. However, I had no idea that when you close on the house, you need to make your first payment at that time.I don’t have credit cards, but I use to have them and decided several years ago to not be bothered again. Of course, I know that the home loans are a rip-off because you don’t start eating away at the principal until 20 years later. That is so ridiculous. Pastor Butler lets us know that we are comfortable in operating in the world’s system and this is not how God wants us to operate. God wants us to have his best. A four or five year car note is not God’s best. A 30 year mortgage is not God’s best.He talks about sitting down and making a budget. I have made budgets for organizations and everything else. I have made budgets for myself before but sometimes just didn’t want to face the music about what I really owe and what cash is really coming in. I just did another budget while reading this book. I declare I don’t know how I have been paying my bills. It’s probably because I’m a tither. That is the only reason that I am still afloat. Also, I like to sow financial seeds at my church and TBN and with a few other ministries that I partner with like Breakthrough and World Changers Church International. I am a believer that you can sow your way out of anything.It has often been said that until you get sick and tired of something it won’t change. I declare today that I am sick and tired of having a car note and a mortgage. I am going to try and put my car note to rest this year. I will really have to curb my spending. It will take a while on the mortgage but I am trying to figure out how to participate in the loan modification program that the President has available. I am not behind on my mortgage and it is not 31% of my income but it is still $1100 dollars and that’s too much with the repairs that I have to make. It is also 9% interest which is too high. If Countrywide doesn’t come correct, I am going to shop around and find someone who will. You can’t afford not to read this book. This might be the book that will make you the millionaire that God has called you to be. However, you must remember that the wealth that God will pour into your hands is to help finance the gospel. Yes, He wants us to live well, but the bottom line is about harvesting as many souls as possible before Jesus comes back.

Are You Building A List?Wednesday, April 1st, 2009 at 1:22 pmI remember when I first got started on this Internet Marketing Journey. I was jumping onto every website possible, in hopes of making mega money overnight. I held on to all of the promises that were being told to me. With intense focus, I was determined to dissect this industry to find out if it was really true that we could earn thousands of dollars online, and find out the specifics of what I needed to do to make it happen!After personally spending thousands of dollars on courses, e-books, programs, videos, software and the likes, I’ve come to learn one of the most important aspects of establishing true online wealth. You see, many people look at the internet as a place where people voluntarily give you their credit card for products that you “claim” are good. But that’s not really how it happens. If you want to know how it really works, then here it goes:1. You create a website that is focused on a specific “niche market”.2. You then begin to put valuable information on that website, sharing with those in your target market, valuable information that the feel they couldn’t find elsewhere.3. You then have an “opt-in” form on your website that allows visitors to receive “FREE” resources or e-book that they feel they have to have…when they opt-in, you then have their email information to stay in contact with them.4. You set up “auto-responder” messages, that automatically communicate with your list, to work for you, building a relationship with them along the way.5. After they’ve seen 5-7 messages from you that are of value, they begin to feel like they know you personally.6. As you build up your list, you then proceed to share valuable “affiliate programs” that allow you to “monetize” from your list. Because they’ve come to know and trust you, they buy from you and you start making money.7. Down the line, when your list gets big enough, people begin to approach you about doing “joint-ventures” because your list is so big, they will pay you to market their product….And that’s where the big bucks come in my friend!So if you have been excited about the fact that you have a website or have met many friends in your social media circle, my question for you today is “Are You Building A List”? IF not, click here to get started on building your list today!Filed under: Lead GenerationLike this post? Subscribe to my RSS feed and get loads more!RSS feed for comments on this post TrackBack URI

Greetings Family,(Contact Information At The Bottom Of The Page)It's your friendly neighborhood "Digital Drummer" again...smileAccording to the University of New Hampshire's Center for Venture Research (CVR), Angel investors continue to be the number one source of seed and startup capital for entrepreneurs. A total of 55,480 entrepreneurial ventures received Angel funding in 2008, a modest 2.9% decrease from 2007, and the number of active investors in 2008 was 260,500 individuals, virtually unchanged from 2007.This data indicates that while Angels have not significantly decreased their investment activity, they are committing less dollars (resulting from lower valuations and a cautious approach to investing). CVR concludes that although the current economic climate has not reduced Angel activity significantly, it has caused investors to scale back the size of their investments.An Angel investor or Angel (according to Wikipedia) is an affluent individual who provides capital for a business start-up, usually in exchange for convertible debt or ownership equity. A small but increasing number of Angel investors organize themselves into Angel groups or networks to share research and pool their investment capital. My definition, as I wrote in “So You Want To Be A Dot.com Millionaire” (see www.citylightssoftware.com/reporte0801.html) is more in line with the FFF concept (Friends, Family, and Fools).My advice to find Angels, is to tell everyone you know what you are doing. You shouldn't worry about giving your idea away as much as you should worry about not getting your funding fast enough. A good place for the totally uninitiated to start, is to talk to anyone who deals with a lot of startups, such as lawyers, PR firms, accountants, and marketing consultants.CVR released statistics on application and acceptance rates for minority and women entrepreneurs as well. CVR found that although their acceptance rates were in line with the total population of entrepreneurs, minorities and women are less likely to seek angel funding. In 2008, minority Angels accounted for 3.6% of the Angel population and women Angels represented 16.5% of the Angel market.Minority-owned firms represented 3.7% of the entrepreneurs that presented their business concept to Angels. The yield rate for these minority-owned firms was 11.3%, which for the second straight year, is in line with market yield rates. However, the small percentage of minority-owned firms seeking Angel capital is of concern. Women-owned ventures accounted for 15.7% of the entrepreneurs that are seeking Angel capital and 9.5% of these women entrepreneurs received Angel investment in 2008.Healthcare/Medical Devices and Equipment took the lead as the most popular sector for Angel investment, passing Software in 2008. Healthcare companies received 16 percent of all investment. Despite becoming the top sector, healthcare's total share of investment actually declined by three points from 2007. Software saw its share of total investment fall even more, from 27 percent of investment to 13 percent. The Biotech and Industrial/Energy sectors held steady while both Retail and Media increased their share.In 2008, only ten percent of companies that were reviewed by Angel investors actually received Angel dollars. This continues the decline in acceptance rates that has occurred since the industry's peak acceptance in 2005, when 23 percent of companies were approved. Though Angel investments dropped considerably in 2008, the total number of deals held steady. Total investments fell 26.2 percent from 2007 to $19.2 billion, while deals fell only 2.9 percent.45 percent of Angel deals invested in companies at the seed and startup phase, up from 39 percent in 2007. A majority of Angel capital recipients (63 %), are in their first sequence of fundraising, a number that has held steady for several years. Angel investors are becoming less interested in expansion-stage deals, which received only 14 percent of total Angel dollars.You can find lists of professional Angel financing firms like www.angelnetwork.com or www.usangelinvestors.com on the Net by running a standard search. The full 2008 Angel Market Analysis is available at: http://wsbe.unh.edu/files/2008_Analysis_Report_Final.pdfThe Center for Venture Research (CVR) has been conducting research on the Angel market since 1980. The CVR’s mission is to provide an understanding of the Angel market through quality research. The CVR is dedicated to providing reliable and timely information on the Angel market to entrepreneurs, private investors and public policymakers.

I am so grateful that you took the time to get to know more of who I AM (or more candidly - Who I WAS)!I am not sure how you found my page, but before I tell you how I lost all that weight let me tell you a little more about myself.Please understand should you decide to want to connect with me I am sincerely interested in learning as much about you as you would like to share with me.I am a woman determined to live her best! I have learned that when I compare myself to others, I lose out in my life. I realize that God made us ALL unique with a variety of gifts and talents.Therefore, where we are weak in areas of our lives, there will always be someone God will appoint us to & strengthen us in those particular areas.So I no longer worry about the weaknesses in my life or what I don't know at this point because if I keep moving forward and acknowledging God, He will direct my path!Let me give you a small testimony about how I came to this point in my life...My desire had become a passion to help others in my own business from home....Why I chose a home business, I wanted the flexibility to work my career around my personal life. Bonus, it is a very low start up cost!I found myself to be completely unemployable and thank God. My talents and gifts would have been wasted! The desire to be a business owner and investor into other's success burned strongly in me. I knew my time was and is worth more than a few pennies on the dollar!My mentality never was the same again...I was truly on a mission. Did I regret leaving college? NO, because God purpose for us, is NOT our purpose! What seems strange and crazy to others, is very sane to God. He knows what is BEST for our life more than we could ever imagine!A quote that I want to share with you..."Success will NOT happen overnight, BUT if you stay persistent and consistent, SUCCESS will happen one night!"As of today, my mind, my decisions, my attitude, my outlook on life and other aspects of it will NEVER be the same again! I decided to make a DECISION in my life and to take ACTION! It was the best decision I have ever made!If you want better results in your life, you have to first make a decision and take action and be committed in doing things differently and continue to move forward.We are NOT responsible for the results in our life, BUT we are responsible for the ACTIONS that we take!Become honest with yourself and ask for help in areas you are weak in! We all are NOT equipped to be strong in everything.A FOOL never asks for help, but someone with WISDOM will reach out for it!

At fifteen life had taught me undeniably that surrender, in its place, was as honorable as resistance, especially if one had no choice.Bitterness is like cancer. It eats upon the host. But anger is like fire. It burns it all clean.Children's talent to endure stems from their ignorance of alternatives.Maya AngelouCourage is the most important of all the virtues, because without courage you can't practice any other virtue consistently. You can practice any virtue erratically, but nothing consistently without courage.Maya AngelouEffective action is always unjust.Maya AngelouI long, as does every human being, to be at home wherever I find myself.Maya AngelouI love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life's a bitch. You've got to go out and kick ass.Maya AngelouI've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back.If you have only one smile in you give it to the people you love.It is time for parents to teach young people early on that in diversity there is beauty and there is strength.Most plain girls are virtuous because of the scarcity of opportunity to be otherwise.Maya AngelouMusic was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness.My great hope is to laugh as much as I cry; to get my work done and try to love somebody and have the courage to accept the love in return.My life has been one great big joke, a dance that's walked a song that's spoke, I laugh so hard I almost choke when I think about myself.My mother said I must always be intolerant of ignorance but understanding of illiteracy. That some people, unable to go to school, were more educated and more intelligent than college professors.One isn't necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can't be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest.Maya Angelou

Dear Crafters and Small Business Owners:I was recently approached by a good friend of mine whose husband is in the National Guard. Periodically they ask local businesses for donations for different events they host during the year. This year they decided to host a Basket Social to help raise funds for their Family Readiness group. The Family Readiness Group is a group of military family member that work together to help the soldiers and their families.That being said, I would like to do something for them. I will be donating a handbag for the raffle. I would also like to donate a basket full of items from other home run businesses. If anyone is able to donate to the basket I am making up, please email me at Michaela@mylasbags.com. This will be a great way for you to advertise your business and also a way to give back to those who are off fighting in Iraq. Please see her request below.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Hi all,I have attached a document for you to review and forward on to the appropriate people to see if our Unit can get help with donations for an upcoming event. Our Family Readiness Group is a Non-profit organization, and all donations would be tax deductible. Also if you know of any other businesses or people that would be interested in participating or even attending, please feel free to forward this to them.Oh, when we set out the baskets, any information for display and advertising purposes will go along with that basket. We will also make an announcement as to who donated the basket/door prize or what have you.Thanks so much in advance for all of your efforts and support.CandyBasket Social Letter for Donation 5.23.09.pdfRead more…
