Getting Your Family Involved In Your New Home Business - For Fun
Getting Your Family Involved In Your New Home Business - For Fun and Profit Copyright 2003 by Henri G. Schauffler http://www.familybizbuilder.com Starting a home business is seldom easy and we need support from our loved ones. Between the family, friends and neighbors there are a lot of people close to you that will want to know what you're doing. You probably have already found out that they're not always supportive! Could you wait a minute, please? - My wife is telling me that I need to help with my 14 year old's homework. I'll be right back...
OK, thanks for waiting. By the way - if we shut our families out - if we're so focused on this new business that we seem consumed by it - we're going to have lots of problems in our home. What's that you say? Getting consumed by your great new business hasn't happened to you yet? Just wait, my home business friend. At some point, you'll get so excited, so motivated, so focused - that you may forget about everything around you, including those whom you love. Let's face it - our business is not more important than our family.
So let's not act like it! Make sure that your family understands that they are more important than this business. And I mean all of your family - children, spouse, parents, siblings - everyone. They need to know that they are still number one in your life. One good way to minimize difficulties in relationships with your family when starting a home business is to talk to all your significant family up-front, *before* you start your business. If you've already launched your new enterprise, it's never too late...
Start with your spouse or significant other. Sit down and explain what you're doing and why it is exciting to you; what your hopes, dreams and goals for the business are. When I started, I told my wife and loved ones very clearly, "My goal is to be making $500 dollars net profit we can spend by the end of 6 months, and $1,000 a month by the end of the first year." (I started part time). "I'm really happy about this, and I need your support." And, the Closing Question: "Wouldn't you like extra money in the budget, dear?" That made it clear - I'm not off on some "get-rich-quick scheme," or one of Henri's "things," I've got a clear plan and I know what I'm doing. However you do it, make sure to get your significant other on board *first*.
Next - your younger children: Your younger children are not really going to understand much about why you're doing this, what your goals are, etc. Instead, develop a routine with your younger children for meal times, naptimes, and play times. Work these times into your work schedule and adhere to them. If you fail to keep appointments with your children, your children will have less respect for your work and do more to prevent you from the completion of your work. Don't be afraid to let your younger children sit in your lap while you are working.
It helps them to feel wanted and it helps them to be a part of your daily life. There are times when it is okay for them to be sitting in your lap while you work, and at other times you need them out of your lap. Don't be afraid to tell them to get down and go play or read a book so that you can resume your work. What about your older children and teens? Explain to your older children that you do your work at home so that you can be near them when they need you. But also be sure they understand that you must do your work so that you will have the money necessary to keep your house, feed the family and to provide them with money for entertainment.
Once your children understand the necessity of your work, then outline a work schedule and explain it to them. Do make sure they understand that emergencies are definitely an acceptable reason to interrupt your work. This just in! Teens these days are *very* Internet savvy. Get them involved, particularly the boys. Show them your new website.
Ask them if they would be interested in helping out. Consider jobs they could do: search engine ranking research, ezine research, database management, and many others. Even consider "hiring" your teen. You'll have them involved, you'll get some time off, and now you'll have a true "family home business!" In Conclusion I hope these tips serve to help you in the challenge of operating a successful home business. My home business permits me to fulfill my financial obligations *AND* develop closer relationships at home.
I would never contemplate trading my home business for a job. Even with the added challenges of dealing with children while I work or getting my spouse on board, the upsides far outweigh the downsides. Growing my own home business with children around has definitely given me a new respect for all people who successfully run a home business and make all the home relationships work well. I tip my hat to you... You deserve it! Resource Box: -----------------------------------------------------------------

SHARED RENTAL AGREEMENT FOR ROOMMATES
SHARED RESIDENCE AGREEMENTSA roommate agreement is made by two or more people who are sharing living expenses. All roommates should have a clear understanding about their individual responsibilities for rent and other living expenses. Without a written agreement problems are more likely to arise. Few things could be more uncomfortable than sharing a house with someone with whom you have an ongoing disagreement about financial matters. It is always best to have such understandings in a written agreement.JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITYRoommates need to be aware of their legal obligations on a lease or mortgage.
In nearly every case, a landlord will require each roommate to be ""jointly and severally liable"". This means the landlord can look to either roommate for the full performance of all obligations. If one roommate fails to pay, having a written agreement is important for the paying roommate to be able to make a claim against the non-paying roommate but the roommate agreement does...

Geodex Details Gold Bearing Zones in the Vicinity of the Cape Spencer Open Pit.
(ContentDesk) October 3, 2004 -- The open pit area lies at the southwestern end of the ten kilometre long property on which Geodex has been exploring a total of fourteen gold-bearing zones for the past year. Results from those zones have been independently reported. Gold in the former Cape Spencer mine and throughout the rest of the belt is known to occur in pyritic, illite-altered areas within mylonitized Precambrian granitoid rocks and Cambrian sediments. The Cape Spencer mine operated from 1985 to 1988, producing 226,000 tonnes of ore with an average grade of 1.6 g/t gold. However, controls are uncertain for the gold mineralization in the pit area.
Aside from re-establishing the potential of lower grade zones, one of the mandates of this company was to establish if discrete, higher-grade zones existed and could be followed outside the boundaries of the pit.Several drill holes and surface mapping in and around the pit have established the style and location of gold mineralization...

Product Review: Send Out Cards With A Click Of A Mouse
Product Review: Send out Cards Owner/Distributor Tricia http://sendoutcards.com/perkeyReviewed by:
customerservice@directsaleopportunities.com My first impression of this product was quite low. I am a distributor for a greeting card company so I am a bit of a critic.However, Tricia was so kind and excited about her product both in the emails she sent me and on the phone. I allowed myself to review her product on a blank slate. She sent me a sample card with a 1 year membership card to "Send Out Cards". After a quick 15 minute "training" session with Tricia about how to send out cards, add people to my address book, and add additional stamps and cards to my membership card, I was ready to send out my first card.My son's Birthday is coming up so he was my obvious first choice.
I browsed through a number of cards and picked the one I thought would make him laugh. I also added a personal greeting to the left side of the card just...

Jesse and Al should read this!
Instead of getting all bent out of shape over innocuous remarks made by the President of Mexico, perhaps the Lord and Prince of African-American Ideological Imperialism (that's Lord Jesse and Prince Al) should know just how Americans apply for those jobs they so vehemently claim Mexicans are stealing.The good folks at Careerbuilder.com recently took a peek into the matter. In a survey of 600 hiring managers, 70 percent of them reported the following bizarre behaviors displayed by American job applicants. [1]Now listen carefully Lord Jackson and Prince Al:? No shows?they make the appointment for the job interview then do not show up? Compulsive watch-checking during the interview? Interviewee asking the interviewer to hurry up the interview? Applicants literally running from the room as soon as the word "drug testing" is mentioned? Applicants telling the hiring manager that the company has a black aura and leaving the interview? Applicants showing up for the interview in T-shirts and...
