HAPPY FATHERS' DAY
New laws regulating shopping for gifts on-line |
|
| |
It's Fathers' Day on June 17th.
Buying gifts on-line for dad? Find gift inspiration, fun links and natty things
for the kids to make for parents' days in our on-line shop.
Following an EU directive, there are new regulations in the UK and other
European countries covering shopping by mail order. This includes shopping
on-line.
As a purchaser, you are best protected if you use a credit card but make sure
you keep records. Check out
your new rights
with this well-designed website. If you are selling goods or services then you
need to read the latest
guidance
from the DTI |

Save yourself the hassle and still make money selling gifts from your
website. We've got all the gen on being an affiliate Magic Button
closed down last week but you can sign up for free with a range of other
thriving intermediaries and it costs you nothing. It's a fun way to add some
'stickiness' to your website but don't expect to make your fortune.
You can sign up with big retailers such as Tesco and BT, or you can support
small businesses - homeworkers like us - or anything in between! |

BEST TIPS for Affiliates |
|
| |
1. Don't put a zillion banners all on one page
2. Choose products and services that 'fit' with your website
3. Like the product you sell - why should anyone else buy it if you don't!!
4. Text links work best and...
5. Don't expect to make a fortune (yet)!

PROCRASTINATION ERADICATION
Make this week your Procrastination Eradiction Week!
Weekly Action Steps |
|
|
1. Make one list of everything you've been procrastinating about. Keep just one
list in one place so you can track the results of your Procrastination
Eradication activities.
2. You must not add anything else to your plate this week. No new projects.
Nothing.
3. If something new comes up that you can't pass up, schedule in time to do it
NEXT WEEK. You cannot say yes to anything new this week. Focus your attention
on completing projects and things that are left undone.
4. Walk around saying to yourself over and over again, "Procrastination
Eradication. Procrastination Eradication." This mantra will help you stay
on track.
5. Now it's time to get to work. We know you can do it!
Good luck this week!

THIS MONTHS' TOP TEN
Reasons People Don't Live Their Dreams |
|
| |
There are still many people who are not living their dreams or have not gotten
on a path to do so. If you are not living your dream, maybe one of these
reasons will ring true for you. Awareness is the first step.
1. They don't believe they can live their dreams. Either their belief system
has them believing they cannot do what they love and earn a living, or they do
not believe enough in their dream.
2. They aren't clear about what would fulfill them - or do nothing out of fear
of doing the wrong thing.
3. They think they don't have a dream.
4. They don't believe they can make enough money living their dream.
5. They appear to be lazy or lacking in ambition. They may have simply become
resigned, fearful, or depressed but it all boils down to the same thing - not
taking action toward that which will fulfill you.
6. They think they don't have the time to think about or start living their
dream ....they need to eliminate a lot before beginning to rebuild.
7. They still believe hard work will pay off ...work smart not hard!
8. They are afraid. ...of failure, of success, of rejection, of being
different.
9. They don't love themselves enough ...to be Self-ish.
10. They are not ready ...to make the investment in themselves to get turned
around.

BECOME A PRACTICAL DREAMER
...and find Success |
|
| |
1. Do you dare? Or does it seem like a waste to invest in seemingly impractical
and unrealistic ventures?
2. Are you in touch with your desires? Or do you feel lost, wondering what you
could do, should do or might do?
3. Can you imagine? Can you envision your dream? Or do you have trouble
imagining your life the way you’re like it to be?
4. Can you believe? Are you convinced your dream is possible? Might it seem
possible perhaps for others but not for you?
5. Are you committed? Have you decided that you’re going to create your
dreams? Or are you still riding the fence, considering possibilities or waiting
to “see what happens”?
6. Are you connected? Can you allow your intuition to guide you to whatever you
need to achieve you dreams? Or do you feel like you must have a step-by-step
road map?
7. Can you use your reality as a tool? Are you able to accept your existing
reality? Or are you busy fighting and resenting your present situation?
8. Can you feel satisfied? Do you allow yourself to savor the satisfaction of
what you accomplish each step along the way? Or are you always driving yourself
to do better and achieve more?
9. Can you move on? Are you open when the time comes to new dreams, welcoming
of what comes next? Or do you get stuck in pursing past dreams, afraid to let
go of what has been for what could be?
