A Note from Mal Keenan
===================================

Greetings friends,
How's it going?

As always a warm welcome to those of you who have joined us since our last issue of HBT Newsletter.

Don't forget to tune in on Sunday for your edition of Home Business Tips Minizine where you will have a chance to win a FREE Top sponsor ad.

I promised to keep my readers updated on my progress and development in the home business world. As I have always said, the best way to build a home business, and the least expensive, is through a twin track approach of website search engine optimisation and reciprocal link building.

Does this approach work? Well I have been doing it over the past two years and the 5 sites that I own now have a Google rank of PR 6. Just do a search for the term HOME BUSINESS on Yahoo or Google and you will see my site freeadvertz.com at number 3 out of over 17 million sites.

All 5 of my sites are in the top pages of many home business/work at home search terms and it is all down to my strategy.

In 3 easy steps:

Register and host your own domain name:
http://www.workathomebiz.info/hosting.html
(Put some home business keywords in your domain name, ie workathomebusinesssuccess.com)
Or:

Download webposition gold and submit your website to all the major search engines:
http://www.workathomebiz.info/webposition.html
(You can download a free trial from this site.)

Start building those links using linksmanager:
http://www.workathomebiz.info/linksmanager.html

Believe me folks it doesn't come more simpler than this. So if you are serious about this then DO IT NOW!!!

I hope to bring out an article soon expanding on this strategy that I have proven definitely works.

A Merry Christmas to you all and a peaceful and prosperous new year.

Til next time

Your friend in success

FEATURE ARTICLE - All Work at Home and No Play Make Jack a Dull Boy
===================================

By Mal Keenan

We've all done it!

We sit for hours in front of our PCs searching, submitting and scrutinizing, while the very freedom we are building a home business to achieve, dwindles to stolen moments in between search engine submissions.

I can be almost certain that from the very moment you got your first check in the mail that you became hooked on the idea of working entirely from home. So much so that everything else in your life has had to take a back seat while you build your dream.

Having a dream and pursuing it is a very noble concept but when our home and family life suffers because of it then it can become a big problem.

It doesn't have to be this way.

Here are a number of points that may help you in keeping a balance.

1.Discipline yourself - When it comes to the amount of time you spend building and running your online enterprise. Set a time limit and don't stray over it.

2.Don't drop or cut down on family activities because of your business. For instance don't stop taking your kids swimming because you want to learn how to build a website.

3.Help in the house chores when they need to be done. The last thing you want to do is alienate your husband/wife when they are probably already very sceptical of your new found enthusiasm in all things cyber.

4.Get the family involved where possible. Show them what exactly it is you are doing and explain to them that your ultimate goal is to earn enough money working at home to be able to spend more time with them.

5.Don't forget to splash out on the family when you eventually start to earn some cash from your online ventures. My wife soon became a believer when she saw some extra money on the table. Well who wouldn't:-)?

In closing I'm hopeful you have gotten the gist of this article, get your priorities right and ensure that everyone is as happy and enthusiastic in your striving for financial freedom as you are.

I wish you every success in your business dealings.

GUEST ARTICLE - The Power of Affirmations to Design and Guide your Life Choices
===================================

By Vic Carrara

Follow through . That seems to be one of the eternal problems . Finding a goal, dividing the journey to achieve the goal in manageable steps . that always seems easy . easy compared to the actual doing of it . the follow through.

You know that seeing your goal ~ picturing your dream, is straight forward .

After all, you know the situation you want to leave behind ~ you're in it now! ~

So if you open your eyes, ears and heart to what's around you right now - picture your life with what you want changed, improved, gone, added . now ~ Well, that's your goal . simple really.

So after you've identified the start of your journey ~ the now ~ and you've seen the proposed stop-over on your journey . you plan the journey . plan the stop-overs on the way, dividing the large dream in to smaller ~ bite size, manageable ~ chunks.

Then . then . well, there's the problem for many of us. It's how to stick to your plan. Sticking to making those stop-overs on your journey. Achieving the small steps so that the b i g pace can be achieved . stick to your plan

Thinking about your goal, you're excited - seeing it achieved, see yourself there. The first few days, weeks . you carry the excitement with you . but, but if you can't keep the momentum going for more than 3 - 4 weeks, you find things gradually sliding a w a y . . . . .

You need to remind yourself, reinforce the feeling you get when you see, hear, feel yourself getting there - achieving your goal. Imagine yourself in a wrap-around cinema, with full quality surround sound, moving seat, with all the smells, the movement, the warmth, the cool . all the elements that make up YOUR goal picture . now,

And you need to do it every day . every morning and every evening . build on build on build on all your sensations, strengths and convictions . you need,

You need to make affirmations - tell yourself, remind yourself, order yourself - that you ARE going to get 'there', your 'there' --- and use your feelings of achievement you get when you see, hear, feel the then - the there - and make it NOW. Use the nowness of the feelings (you are feeling these now after all), and connect, and join, and fix them to your affirmations --- feelings and words fused, intertwined, so that you cannot help but to feel the feelings when you read the words .

The words . So now you write your affirmations, your promise to yourself, that you will - you ARE, going to follow ALL the steps necessary for you to feel those feelings on the date you promise yourself -

You get several pieces of paper, your favourite pen or pencil .

You see, hear, feel . again and again and again and write .

Write down with passion your feelings - what you feel when you see yourself 'there', now - Be free, don't think, just write, write what you feel when you see yourself in 'there'

I write "happiness, contentment, family, bliss, warmth, relaxed, secure . "

Carry on . on with the feelings of being 'there' now .

I write "I feel happy, content and blissed knowing that my family and I are happy, excited, relaxed, in an environment of warmth, trust and security - able to share the same with each other and others"

Be specific, go into your feelings picture, picture it, now see the details, be specific -

I write "I am healthy, eat well and exercise regularly"

"I enjoy time with my family every day, enjoying the morning and evening time we spend together"

"I enjoy the time I have to read and learn each day"

"I enjoy and relish the time I invest in my business, helping others"

"I love life and the choices I make of it"

"I earn £100,000 a year"

my summary picture .

Now remember the steps along the way, the stop-overs on the journey, you grab those feelings of each step - starting now with first steps . become more specific still, deeper into your picture meaning now . remember to stay positive, focused .

I write "As I start each day, I see the vast potential of the choices I have at hand"

"I meditate every morning for 10 minutes"

"I exercise every afternoon for 15 minutes"

"I enjoy an hour of play with Samuel every day"

"I enjoy listening and talking with Kathy every evening with our favourite music playing"

"I look forward to reading and learning for an hour every evening"

"Every day I find a way to add value to what my customers receive"

"By the end of this month I will have added another 10% to my regular income"

(Samuel is our 14 month old ~ Kathy my partner.)

This list of affirmations - promises to myself - change, grow, develop as the months build. At each month start, the list is reviewed, added to, built on, to the next start-overs that need to be gained and enjoyed .

Enjoy the journey as much as the goal . Remember to reward and find happiness and pleasure in all start-overs, for the satisfaction of achievement it does bring you.

You will find satisfaction in getting to each step, each start-over . building self-confidence, building a stronger and wider vision, stronger senses of the feelings you have when you picture your goal, now .

Now find the nicest piece of paper you have in the house - or go out and buy some . Get your favourite pen and pencil, and re-write what you have written, in your best hand, with your picture in mind, minding to be specific, positive, writing in the now, and for the best .

I re-write:

I feel happy, content and blissed knowing that my family and I are happy, excited, relaxed, in an environment of warmth, trust and security - able to share the same with each other and others

I am healthy, eat well and exercise regularly

I enjoy time with my family every day, enjoying the morning and evening time we spend together

I enjoy the time I have to read and learn each day

I enjoy and relish the time I invest in my business, helping others

I love life and the choices I make of it

I earn £100,000 a year

As I start each day, I see the vast potential of the choices I have at hand I meditate every morning for 10 minutes

I exercise every afternoon for 15 minutes

I enjoy an hour of play with Samuel every day

I enjoy listening and talking with Kathy every evening with our favourite music playing

I look forward to reading and learning for an hour every evening

Every day I find a way to add value to what my customers receive

By the end of this month I will have added another 10% to my regular income

I add -

Each time I read and contemplate this list, these words, my feelings grow in strength, grow in belief and fact, help me achieve easily and fully.

I sign and date this contract with myself.

Each month you review, re-write this contract, adding new start-overs, as you get nearer and nearer and nearer to live in your picture .

Each morning, each evening, you find somewhere - to sit and read and re-picture, re-feel, to build on and grow your belief . you create a naturalness, a regularity of doing this - create a habit . enjoyable, fun, natural, and with anticipation .

Now, go do it, and let me know the results .

Best of every success,

Warmly,
Vic Carrara

Are you willing to believe that love is the strongest thing in the world - stronger than hate, stronger than evil, stronger than death - and that the blessed life which began in Bethlehem nineteen hundred years ago is the image and brightness of the Eternal Love? Then you can keep Christmas.
