Natural Home Spa Products - New Shop is Open

Natural facial care products, exfoliating soap, handmade castile soap with more home spa products being added daily at Home Spas by Tam. Yep! I finally have my store up and am stocking the shelves. Despite my loss of my other online store, I am so happy to have the chance to re-open my shop! All of the products are natural, handmade when ordered in small batches with high quality essential oils.

Of all the skin care products, my favorites tend to be the hand and foot scrubs but the shea butter lotions and creams are glorious. I work closely with the business women that hand mix and create these high quality bath and body products. If you stop by to check out Home Spas by Tam be sure to bookmark it because it will take me another week to have all the shelves lined with everything. Create your own spa - at home! So cool :-)

Successful Entrepeneur - Good with Money and Debt

Successful Entrepreneur - Lately I've been reading books about the characteristics of the successful entrepreneur. It's a great guide for those of us running a home business because we all know that we have the ability to learn new habits, new ways of looking at things and new ways to handle life in general. It's a matter of making the changes that put us up there with others that are successful. We know that truly successful entrepreneurs are good money managers - otherwise our success will be short lived! To be able to say we are "good with money" and out of debt ~ we need to follow financial advice from those who KNOW.

Leo Quinn's Take Your Paycheck Back Again is my favorite resource to recommend to anyone wanting to get control of their debt, their finances and business money because Leo's system gives you everything you need to get out of debt faster than you think possible AND teaches you how to handle your money with a program that is under $70 including the Debt Cruncher software.

Handmade soaps - natural bath and body products made by other women that work from home is now part of my own local business. Home Spas by Tam is my own retail business here in Augusta, ME that is now coming to an online spa shop. Natural handmade bath and skin care products is at the heart of our little shop. Today, I'm adding more handmade soaps including a wonderful castille soap for sensitive skin and a foot scrub with Ylang-Ylang and lavender. Doesn't that just sound incredible?

Tipping Point - Can We Talk?

Tipping Point - Malcolm Gladwell Reading Tipping Point? Let's Talk! After all this time, I finally picked up my own copy of Tipping Point yesterday while waiting to pick up my car. I have got to say that Tipping Point is one of those books that is hard to explain in a few words but its very thought provoking and engaging to read.

I'm an obsessive thinker - wondering if I've got a "handle" on whatever I'm discovering. Gladwell has written a book that explains phenomenon at the core - PEOPLE. Tipping Point reads like a high thinking but private chat with Gladwell. He pulls information (stories, facts and statistics) from all over the societal map then ties it all together to explain ideas, change, motivation and random occurances. Still sound hard on your thought process? It's not ~ really, its just my lack of words to explain a great book.

If you've read it or if you are reading Tipping Point now...tell me ~ what do you think? Yawning - Did you catch a yawn?

Envision the Goal - Make it Happen

Is it goal setting that makes us successful? Nope.

It's action. Continous forward action that leads to success. As long as you are on a path that leads straight to your goal. It's that every day plodding that actually gets you somewhere. Sometimes its fast paced but more often we stumble. But we somehow put one foot in front of the other.

It's just my nature - to never Quit. Quitting is not an option. Yes, I talk about quitting but I don't. I talk about doing things differently but I usually don't do that either UNTIL I have tried every single blessed avenue I can find to make something WORK that I have started.

Somehow in my head, my heart ~ I realize that I'm headed down a foolish path. A path to no where but part of me believes that I will find a short cut back onto the path to success.

Best bet? See if there a path already cut through by others that are heading toward a similar goal. Look at what they did to get there before you. Remain unique, distinct. Don't reinvent the wheel but make your wheels stylin' fun even funky so you KNOW that you are the source of your success.

WAHM Blog - Another Attempt ...

Okay ~ who needs yet another "WAHM Blog" well...ME because two of my blogger blogs are in suspended animation waiting to be revived again AND I want a blog here! So I am starting over with this blog for WAHM Connections.

WAHM Connections will be 2 years old this summer and our focus is mainly finding coaching and learning opportunities for online entrepreneurs. Not business coaching in the normal sense of the word but I tend to gravitate to "experts" that go beyond simply selling an ebook or software. I believe that the best route for online learning especially in business and marketing is where you are able to connect with the mentors you are following. Some offer one to one coaching, others have forums and message boards or exclusive members only sites but they do deliver more than an ebook.

The resources I recommend do not sell you a script so you can "test" it out so they can work the bugs out of their software or gather statistics on how many they can convert to a sale regardless of the quality of the product. So...I only recommend products and services with people I have done business with myself. This is where you connect with what you need to run your business successfully online. WAHM Connections - WAHM Because I'm a work at home mom - I'm working for you and with you. Connecting!

Adsense Secrets with Joel Comm

Where is the serious money online? If you are selling an actual product or service then using Google Adsense to make money isn't really a good choice unless....your product or service has a higher payout with Google Adsense clicks by your visitors than directly buying from you.

My favorite Google "coach" is Joel Comm. Now if you haven't discovered Joel Comm then now is the time. The best bonus available is that when you get Adsense Secrets you have a free membership to his adsense forum. A great medium to get the Adsense coaching you need to really crank up your Google Adsense income. A year of working with Joel ~ I love his newsletter and the forum - It's working for me...just check it out to see it fits your goals. ;-)
