Seth Godin wrote in his blog post today that entrepreneurship is about, ‘Solving problems in a way you can be proud of.’ It helped me to remember some key insights. First a key question, Which problems, specifically are you attempting to solve with your product or service? There are lots of problems in the world …
I just finished Man’s Search for Meaning by Victor Frankl and am deeply inspired, yet again by this book’s powerful message. It’s as if Victor Frankl traveled to the inner depths of the soul through some of life’s darkest tragedies and brought us back spiritual diamonds & rays of light we can use to shine …
In my very first network marketing company we had a business kit we would sell to our distributors. I remember reading though it and being shocked to discover several grammar & spelling errors. The leaders who made this ‘kit’ had produced millions and millions in sales over the years. In the bathroom of my gym …
I was listening to a podcast the other day where an Agnostic/Atheist Bible scholar was being interviewed. When asked about why he ultimately lost his faith in a higher power, he said… “I just can’t reconcile the fact that there is so much suffering in the world with the idea of a higher power.” This …
Oftentimes when someone says to me, ‘do you have any questions?’, I’ll jokingly respond with ‘yes, what is the meaning of life?’ Maybe the inner urge that bubbles this question up is not so uncommon.

There I was, tears streaming down my face as I knelt down next to my son’s bottom bunk bed in the back room of our 1984 single-wide trailer house, praying for a miracle. I’d just finished reading my 2 oldest sons their nightly bedtime stories and watched them drift off to sleep. As I stared …
This morning I woke up around 4:30 AM and read from our book of the month, Man’s Search for Meaning, for 30 minutes. Whenever I take the time to arise and read, I’m grateful, for mental and spiritual treasures seem to always await the sincere and searching mind. Today was no different. In my first …
A few years ago, when I first started earning a good sized income from home, I was somewhat shocked to discover that on top of my normal income tax rate, I was required to add on another 15.3 percent in what’s known as self employment tax. Fortunately, I discovered a legal strategy that saved me …
Yesterday I watched a thought provoking new documentary on Netflix called Come Sunday. It’s quite a story about a Pentecostal preacher named Carlton Pearson who was, at one time, one of the most famous preachers in the Unites States. He was a man with incredible authority and close connections in very high places throughout the …
I’ve had an auto ship (monthly recurring product cost) each month since I joined Home Business in 2005. 13 years. In that time, never can I recall, ever complaining about it or wishing I didn’t have it. I’ve never really thought about my auto-ship as an expense. To me, it’s always been an asset. Of …
