Louise Hay Is One Amazing Lady


Louise Hay is one of those rare people whose presence fills a room and everyone in it with an abundance of energy, love and peace.
Born in 1926 to a poverty-stricken mother, Louise Hay's early years as a child, adolescent and young woman were filled with feelings of low, if non-existent, self-esteem. By her own account, she was a lost soul until she found the Church of Religious Science where she learned that if you change your thought patterns, you can actually change your experiences in life. She became fascinated with the subject and completely turned her life around based on the principles she learned. She is living proof that someone can change their life through their inner thoughts and the words they repeat to themselves over and over again.
She became a popular speaker and leader of workshops at the church and people really resonated with her style of teaching. When Louise saw how people let their hurtful pasts and illnesses control their lives, she made a promise to help them see that their health problems and mental stresses were formed from their own negative thoughts about themselves. At this time she wrote a little blue pamphlet wherein she described how negative mental patterns and beliefs can be at the root cause of illnesses or "dis-eases" in our bodies.
Louise realizes that her messages are so simplistic in nature that they can sometimes be hard to grasp, but the main message that she wants to share is: "The body, like everything else in life, is a mirror of our inner thoughts and beliefs. Every cell within your body responds to every single thought you think and every word you speak."
She printed 5,000 copies of the first book she ever wrote called "Heal Your Body" on a copy machine and made it into a little blue pamphlet that she gave to people to help them heal their lives. In 1984 at the age of almost 60 she started her own publishing company called Hay House Publications and published " You Can Heal Your Life " which has been translated into almost 30 different languages and to date in 2013 has sold more than 35 million copies around the world.
There is now a movie about her life, teachings, and philosophies which is called "You Can Heal Your Life" The Movie. It is narrated by Louise and it is basically a story about her journey and how she applied the principles she teaches to her own life and how it made her who she is today. She is a beacon of light in this world and the inspiration to millions.

Online Business Plan - Lesson 1 for Online Business Entrepreneurs


Starting up an online business is very easy to do: all you need is a domain name, hosting, a webdesign or a WordPress blog, an autoresponder and some cash for advertising.
The topic or niche you choose depends on your passion that you would like to share with the world. As soon as you chose your niche for your online business, you need to decide which one of the many available business models - and there are as many models around as Internet & Affiliate Marketers you would like to use.
This initial challenge will keep you busy for quite some time - I even dare to say that your first 6 to 9 months will belong to this first phase of your online business plan. And you have to consider this learning phase in your plan.
The next phase will be to focus on creating good and valuable content. Content is everything you leave on the Internet. It ranges from blog posts to tweets, shares, articles and products. During your second phase you should endeavor to find your own little spot within your chosen niche. Just imagine that you should develop yourself into the Go-To-Guy (or Girl) for 1 particular question within your topic.
The third phase will actually be already part of running your online business. So your Business Plan for your online adventure is divided into 3 parts:
  1. Choose niche and initial set up plus learning the rules of Internet Marketing
  2. Create good and valuable content and share it around
  3. find your final place within your Niche and establish yourself as the Go-To-Person.
In contrast to Business Plans for brick-and-mortar businesses, the plan for your online business is slightly different. You don't have to define your 5 year strategy, don't define your business processes and all the human-, technical- and product development resources you will need.
You could define all this right from the start but I dare say that this procedure would be a complete overkill for your online business idea and robbed you right away of your motivation that you will need for your first 6 to 9 months.
Instead of writing a 'commonly known' business plan for your online business, choose to focus on planning your marketing campaigns: Return on Investments and Break-Even Calculations are your focal points of interest while running your Online Business.
Planning your Online Journey this way allows you to stay flexible to different ways of doing business online, but creates a stable management tool to secure your financial success.
I personally choose to do it like this with my online business model. I wrote and executed 4 different brick-and-mortar Business Plans for 4 different companies in 4 different markets. This successful but challenging experience allows me to suggest this path to all Newcomers to the Online World as well as advice Intermediate Internet & Affiliate Marketers to add this workable management tool to their knowledge box. More details about my approach can be found here on my IM Business Plan Product Price Calculation Page.

Selling Your Business - You May Become the Banker


So you've decide to sell your business, well you probably will have to become a banker. Why a banker, because more than likely you will have to finance most of the sale price. Ah, now you are confused, you thought that all buyers would pay you all cash or they could get a real bank to finance their purchase. The odds are over 90%, by some estimates, that you will have to carry at least a portion of the purchase price, via a loan, with no collateral. That can be real scary!
I don't mean to be the bearer of "bad" news but the facts are there. If you don't believe me ask a business broker. The word bad is in quotes because many people who carry part of the sale financing like the interest that comes along with the deal. It helps their retirement cash flow. That's good, as long as it is done right. If you are required to finance all or part of the sale of your business, be sure you do all or most do the following things and anything else that may be unique to your business and its industry.
Do they know how to Run the Business? - The more the buyer knows about the business the better chance that they will be successful and be able to pay you.
What Is Their Past Like? - Investigate the credit of the buyer; call their banker; speak to those who may have done business with them in the past. Find out as much about them as you can.
Should I Require Collateral? - If at all possible, get some form of security to allow you have something to sell if the deal falls apart. This may be real estate or inventory or accounts receivable or some equipment. Always get more than the amount of the loan. Collateral never seems to sell for as much as the purchase amount.
Should I Do Ongoing Monitoring? - You should have access to monthly or quarterly financial information. From these numbers you can see if sales are improving or not and if expenses are being controlled. Another thing you can do is to stay in touch with past large clients and suppliers. This way you will know how their service is and if they are keeping their payables current. It will give you a sense of peace or fright.
How Can I Keep My Good Name? - You may have signed personally for things like utility deposits or a building lease. Work to have the buyer replace your name with their name. Maybe even get your deposit money refunded.
Should I Work with a Lawyer? - Of course the sales agreement should be in writing. If you have to carry a note, be sure to get a signed promissory note and any collateral documentation necessary to secure your lien. You also may have to file the documents with a city, county or state office to make it valid.
Well this is not a complete list because every transaction is unique. Hopefully your lawyer has done this for others and will know what to do in your area and with the type of business you want to sell. Good luck.

Security Compliance - Un-Cleared IT Support


Quite often we find that we must have some outside support to help out our IT staff, or perhaps our IT staff is outsourced. In cases like these, we may need to bring in someone who does not normally need access to our facility. This is where we must let the outsider in; the un-cleared vendor.
A facility which has implemented strong access controls and which has a policy of ensuring confidentiality does not open its doors nor employ just anyone. Typically anyone who needs access to a facility requires a formal background check and sometimes a security clearance issued by the government or by the facility owner. Granting access to someone who does not have a security clearance or a background check to this type of facility is no easy task.
Escorts are normally required to accompany any un-cleared personnel into the facility. This can be a normal operation when dealing with custodial workers, facility construction workers or other maintenance people. Usually those individuals acting as escorts are members of the local security team or anyone who's been properly trained in escorting duties. Un-cleared IT support is a completely different animal and requires more than just a pair of eyes looking over their shoulders. When you allow un-cleared IT support workers into your facility, you are introducing a potential major threat to your computing environment if not handled carefully.
In order to properly escort un-cleared IT support workers, you need to know exactly what they are going to work on. Once you figure out what they are going to work on, then you need to assign the proper individual to escort them. This cannot be just an ordinary employee; it in fact needs to be someone who is familiar with the equipment that is being worked on and has a security mindset to watch for, and identify a potential threat. This type of escort is commonly referred to as a "technical escort". For example, if you need IT hardware support with a crashed server, the IT support worker is no doubt going to need physical access to the box itself. The worker may even need to swap parts like a motherboard for instance to get your server back up and running.
Wait a second... now not only am I introducing an un-cleared person into the facility, I'm also bringing in hardware that's hopefully been researched (we'll leave that for another article). The technical escort needs to be familiar enough with hardware being introduced to make sure that it is what it's supposed to be. This should all be coordinated in advance if possible. The escort also needs to ensure that there are no additional parts coming in such as an unwanted communications device etc. The escort's technical expertise ensures that an "expert" set of eyes are on the un-cleared IT worker at all times and also knows what to look for.
Having a properly trained technical escort monitoring an un-cleared IT worker's activity can save you trouble, and perhaps your business, down the road. Finding the right of mix of maintaining business continuity and keeping things secure is why we are in this business.
