SBGEN Blog by YEisHere! S-B Global Enterprise Network: Motivating, Assisting & Facilitating Entrepreneurial and Economic Self-Sufficiency

It’s that time of year: shorter days, longer evenings/nights, parties and Halloween! And while I’ve long since retired from the Halloween overnight parties that I hosted for my 2 young children, there’s something about the ability to dawn an alternate persona via a costume that has called me to muse upon my current stage of life!

Everywhere I go signs of the pending masquerade that Halloween brings demands my attention — well in fact the decorations, packages of candy and pumpkins demand EVERYONE’S attention! This is definitely a time to do some online shopping for those wanting to avoid crowds and the pawned over costumes in stores! Thinking about my internet ventures and offerings for others wishing to be successful in eCommerce, I decided to visit one such eCommerce site, that provided Halloween Costumes!

As I looked over the offerings, I was amazed at how many Star Wars costumes were offered — for some reason I thought Star Wars was old news and some other blockbuster film or film series would dominate. . . Browsing thru page after page of ‘new age’ costumes, nothing quite fit my current life style or alternate ego! For some reason, I began thinking about a doctor’s costume, as my Holistic Health training certainly does position me to hear quite a few ‘maladies’ from those that I meet and know! I didn’t see any medical themed costumes, most likely because I didn’t search far enough  as I came upon a costume that actually sparked both childhood memories AND parallel images of my current attitude!

According to Wikipedia, the “Roaring 20s’ was an expansive cultural era for women: Jazz, bobbed haircuts, short skirts/dresses and a distinct departure from ‘acceptable’ social behavior! I REMEMBER seeing movies on TV, as a child, that glorified the 20s! Doing the ‘Charleston’ and the other dances the 20s were famous for was a joyous and invigorating exercise in fantasy! The women portrayed in those films were ‘cool’ and definitely in control of their lives as they embraced the times with flourish and passion!

Today is a ‘roaring’ era in our history! The internet boasts a $3 trillion dollar commerce flow; personal blogs earn anywhere from $100s to $40,000 per month and ANYONE can monetize their website and make a very decent living! The excitement of eCommerce is intoxicating and the oppurtunites boundless — just like the promise of continued womens empowerment presented during the ‘roaring 20s!’

Take a stroll and look at some Halloween Costumes! See what your current ‘fantasies’ translate into costume/theme wise! I utterly enjoyed seeing what is popular these days as compared to what I remember seeing when my children were young or even when I was a child!

After your tour of ‘imagery’ lane, give some creative thought to “presenting the REAL You!” Then throw on your cape and take on the world!

A very caring and sincere friend of mine called me in exasperation on the other day. The conversation went like this:

 

“I just don’t know why anyone would want to steal my identity! I’m not rich or famous and work hard to earn every DIME of my money! This is terrible – now I have to get new credit card numbers and email address and passwords!”

 

“Wow, that’s terrible. What happened?” I had to ask, naturally, because that’s what friends are for – calling on the phone, sharing your woes and, in my case, forcing them to be distracted from the current project that is already behind schedule. . .

 

“Well, I’ve been joining forums, newsgroups and some of those paid-to-read websites online – like the ones you recommend to people. And I opened a few online accounts to shop at, in order to buy discounted products – you know the way you always recommend.”

 

Why was I beginning to feel like whoever it was that had stolen her identity was suspected of being in collusion with me? “Oh, I see. So what happened?” What else could I say?

 

“Someone got my email address, my passwords and my credit card information too! They spent up all that I had on my cards, spammed some websites and sent emails to my friends with pornography in them!”

 

Of course I was stunned. “How in the world did that happened? Exactly what happened? Did you get a virus on your computer or some malware? You should have called me if you were having problems with your computer – generally they’ll act differently when something has been downloaded. ..” I trailed off knowing that getting me on the phone is about as easy as sliding uphill – wearing a suit of spiked clothing! Yet, had anyone called and left me a distress message, I’d have responded ASAP – within 5 or 6 hours!

 

“Well, you know when those sign up forms ask for your email address?”

“Yes.”

“And then they ask for your password?”

“Yes.”

“Well, I put in my password.”

“Oh. Uh, you put in YOUR email password on the application website?” Though I HAD mumbled to myself on many occasions that the way those forms presented the data fields any body could slip and put their personal email password there. Even I had to catch myself the first couple of times. . .

“Yes, I thought that’s what they wanted. . .Anyway, someone passed my email information to someone else and then they got into my email account!”

“So how did they get your credit card info and other stuff like that?” This was getting very strange to me, I admit there is very little available space in my personal idiocy domain for drama – let’s get to the point so we can solve the problem!

“Well, I didn’t store my passwords and account info in an encrypted file on my desktop, you know the way you always recommend? I just couldn’t stop and pull up the file, make up a code for the account and do all of that, so I simply emailed my credit card and other account information to myself! It’s way easier for me to open my email to get that info – you know I really like the Thunderbird email client that you recommended.”

“Oh. So, you put in your email password with your email address in an application for an online account for whatever it was THEN your email account got accessed and your identity got used. Is that what your telling me? Some jerk employee took advantage of you and now you’re credit is on the run?” This was waaaaaay past my drama quotient – I’m planning to not answer my phone for 90 days or more. . .

“Yes. Most of it is being charged off. But I had some very PRIVATE stuff in my email. And the porn stuff that got emailed out – I don’t even like porn!”

 

STOP. STOP. STOP. STOP. STOP. STOP. STOP. STOP. STOP. STOP. STOP. STOP. STOP. STOP.

 

This is a fictitious scenario. Over the course of signing up for a zillion different memberships, accounts, mailing lists, etc. I find that the most frequently used form first asks for your email address then, password. Anyone that isn’t paying attention would simply put their email password in the box provided and that’s the upshot of this posting: PAY ATTENTION TO ALL QUESTIONS, FINE PRINT AND INFORMATION REQUESTED OF YOU IN CYBERSPACE AND IN PRINT.

 

It only takes one slip to fall and really hurt yourself. Mind your business, as in be mindful when doing business because as the saying goes, A mind is a terrible thing to waste. . .

This has been a somewhat slow paced week – not that there wasn’t a million and one things to do as usual – I simply decided to mind my own Holistic Health information and coast along getting items completed while I took advantage of working from home.

From time to time, as I grow older, I get in mode of not wanting to take the time to ‘chew’ as in eat solid food, for sustenance. This feeling is what prompted me to become very good at creating energizing high impact juice blends and smoothies. However the foundation of the recipe for the juice part of this post, credit goes to a ’sistah friend’ of mine, chef/caterer HuNia of HuNia’s Divine Soul Kitchen in Oakland, California.

The breakfast juice blend consists of the following:

• 3 med carrots

• 1 med beet

• 4 med radishes

• 3 cloves garlic

• ¼ tsp cayenne

Making sure all of your vegetables are organic, scrub each carefully removing all dirt and possible insects. Depending on the model of juicer cut the vegetables in small enough sizes. Place some carrot, beet, radish and garlic together in the chamber, a bit at a time and juice until all of the vegetables are liquefied. Save the pulp. Pour the juice into a glass [this should make about 6 to 10 oz of juice] and stir in the cayenne.

Drink mindfully: take in a mouthful, swish it in your mouth and then swallow. The enzymes, vitamins and nutrients will be absorbed through the cells of the mouth, gums and tongue before instant absorption through the stomach into the bloodstream.

Now pulling our your blender take the remaining pulp and blend with the following:

• 12 oz filtered or distilled water

• 2 scoops Organic Hemp Protein powder

• 1 tbsp Blue Green Algae [Spirulina or Chlorella can be used]

• ½ tsp Vitamin C crystals [powder]

• ¼ tsp cayenne

Blend on high until smooth about 40 seconds. Enjoy for lunch!

Take the liberty to add whatever herbs or supplements you feel your body is in need of in the smoothie – poor digestion is the leading cause of most disease, since health begins in the colon and undigested food particles puts the body on alert against invasion!

Treating yourself to these 2 Power Drinks will energize your blood [beets have the highest amount of absorbable iron] and allow the stomach to rest and regenerate itself. Live long AND prosper!

For those of us that really find Paid-to-Read emails and ads excruciatingly boring yet highly profitable, there is the option of grooving in your seat to some uplifting music via Pandora!

I’ve been a Pandora fan for years having found it online when working in the ‘corporate’ world at a desk job. From it’s home page Pandora is described as “radio from the Music Genome Project” which I was totally unaware of when I stumbled upon it! However, you can find information about the Music Genome Project by clicking on the link provided here.

When you first access the Pandora site you’ll be shown a page that describes it as being a medium which allows the user to create their own ’stations’ based on artists, songs or genres of their choosing. What’s really cool is once you create an account you can create a station for any artist that you’ve EVER liked or enjoyed listening to because the database is humongous and expanding all the time! So for those great songs you heard as a child or teenager yet no longer can find in the ‘record’ stores, you can type in the name of the song and a drop down list of possible songs will be provided for you to choose from. Once you select the song you want to hear, Pandora prompts you to create a ’station’ of the artist or genre AND you can name the stations whatever you like! I’ve got stations with names like, ‘cool grooves,’ ‘Jeffrey Osborne,’ ‘Dianne Reeves,’ and ‘dance tunes,’ to name only a few – unlimited ’stations’ can be created and you can listen for as long as you like!

Since yours truly is the champion of ‘multi-tasking’ catching up on some once loved and newly discovered musical favorites fits right in with the time spent reading emails, ads and filling out surveys! And it even makes the time ‘fly’ by – allowing me to cruise into my preferred tasks of writing tips and info to share!

There are so few truly lazy people in the work arena that this article may well be a matter of ‘preaching to the choir’ and for that please accept my deepest apologies!

The economic times here in the US and, I suspect, globally among the ‘industrial’ nations, is challenging for many that are in the lower and middle class income groups. The move from agriculture to industry to information/services has created quite a boom for those that are in the position of creating and/or maximizing the income generating trends [aka global economy] while those of us of the ‘working’ class are scrambling just to pay fuel costs and maintain living standards — while looking over our shoulders for the next corporate downsizing. . .

Ok, so some of us are doing ok with our own businesses: hair care, auto detail shops, laundromats, dry cleaners and a few other staple businesses are and will almost always be in demand! But what about those of us that have work experience in other areas that need to be channeled into a viable business venture for ourselves? How many of us can truly launch a million dollar website, or sell millions of dollars in products or provide millions of dollars in virtual assistance services? Very few. What are we to do then in order to generate income in a relatively ‘easy’ manner, while balancing our other life’s duties and responsibilities?

There’s no ‘easy’ answer to that question. However, there is one absolute truth that all aspiring and new entrepreneurs must keep in mind. While working for yourself does and may bring great emotional and physical benefits in relationship to not having to worry about being fired, laid off, wardrobe concerns and/or commuting there are other demands that bring a definite measurable level of stress to being self-employed. You have yourself to depend upon, and that includes your physical, mental and spiritual health, to create the income needed for your survival!

Be prepared to:

1. put in hours asking questions of those with experience in the field you choose

2. research everything that you can find regarding being self-employed and entrepreneurism

3. spend more time marketing, promoting and exposing your business than actually doing whatever it is you do — unless you have some very deep financial pockets for your advertising budget.

4. embark upon a path of absolute identity change: becoming a successful business person after having been an employee is something that will take a tremendous amount of energy to transform yourself into. Which is why so many start ups and small business fail: most people don’t realize they can’t continue seeing the work world from the eyes of a worker and must start seeing it thru the eyes of a CEO.

Once you establish a good working rhythm for those four and by no means exhaustive list of items, you’ll begin to see your business, no matter how simple the structure, for what it is — business, aka work!

And while there is literally no end to simple, relatively ‘easy’ business ventures offered via the internet and the global business platform, it is STILL work!

Make sure the business you choose, is something you truly love doing. That’s the key to having demanding work and responsibilities invigorate rather than drain! Motivation MAKES it ‘easy’ which in turns makes ‘work’ seem like play!

Launching a website or creating a blog [or many blogs] online doesn’t guarantee that your site or blog will be seen by others. Theoretically, the people you know will visit your blog or site however in order to have a constant flow of visitors and guests you’ll have to ‘advertise’ or ‘market’ your presence.

There are many, fruitful blog and site listing services that will promote your blog to both their online network [community] as well to a much broader internet audience. The services that I list here are free and provide a much needed ‘budget’ conscious method of establishing a visible and attractive web presence:

Tehnorati

Magnolia

Furl

Wink

Tower Search

SearchSight

Dream Submit

This list is by no means exhaustive and I’ll be adding to it and providing my review of the ease of use and viability of each in the upcoming weeks.

In the meantime, get your website or blog online AND let the world know about it!
