What's the matter?

Life Struggles?
A Lack of Self-Discipline?
Not Putting Faith to Work?

etc., etc, etc.,...

Been there done that. I'm GUILTY!

However, REDEEMED! Praise God.

We all go through struggles, I believe a huge percentage of us have a lack of self discipline and on a daily basis, we really don't put faith to work.

I've learned to count my blessings. To praise God for waking up! Having a roof over my head, food to eat and clothes on my back. I repent everyday for things I know of and the ones I don't know. In doing so, I often find peace.

God is a forgiving God. He understands us because he made us. While we should continually seek His word, He knows our hearts, minds, bodies and soul. He knows whether we seek to go about our daily chores with the right intent. I believe this is when He can use us mostly.

As I was working today, I listened to Tommy Tenney (Author of the God Chaser's and Minister), he said that He knows the only part of his church service that God is pleased with is...

The Worship Service!

Hmmm, something to think about. I love to worship God. The word specifically states that "God inhabits the praises of His people." I desire to make Him happy too!

I've learned to worship God during the struggles, lack of discipline and when my faith was not quite "at work." In doing so here's what comes to mind through study...

"The best way to correct a bad habit is to replace it with a good habit."
Luke 18:1 says to pray and not to lose heart. You have to believe that God hears you. A lack of faith keeps the majority of us from ever receiving what God promises us. God loves us. He can't bless us unless we are able to come to Him unre-servedly and believe His Word and His promises.

Trust Him - God will bless us abundantly if we will only TRUST Him.

Spending time with God by studying and meditating on His Word is something we should strive to do. We must believe so throroughly that God loves us and cares about us that when we ask, we expect to receive. (I'm in the process...)

Spending time in God's Word is evidence of a commitment to God's way and will open new avenues of blessings in your life.

"Faith comes from hearing and hearing by the word of God." Romans 10:17

You Don't Need to Read!

Discover Why The World's Best Marketing Experts
Are Calling This Book "A MUST-READ"

Most people believe that they can jump online, begin promoting products or services, they're done. NOT! It takes work and anyone who tells you different is not sharing the truth.

Internet Marketing is a very lucrative industry however, it takes work, determination, focus and belief.

IT WON'T HAPPEN OVER NIGHT!

If you want to succeed, you have to give yourself time to understand where you are, what you're doing and who you're doing it with. Allow yourself time to READ!

You know, a friend of mine said to me, if you ever need to hide anything of value, hide it in a book. Why? Because people will not take the time to read, so your valuables are safe in a book!

WOW! I can see where this has been true in a lot of cases, not only with others, but myself too!

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to become successful in Internet Marketing, it takes YOU! Persistence, determination and faith are just a few of the tools you'll need to make it. And, you don't have to read a book in a day. You set the rules, 1 page a day or 2 pages per day, whatever you choose...

JUST DO IT!

I receive emails all the type of people asking me what books I read, who do I admire in Internet Marketing and, "how and why do you do it?

"It's simple. It's not easy, but it's simple.

My "Why" is very clear...

I'm allergic to Corporate America!

"NOW faith is the substance of things hoped for,
the evidence of things not seen." Heb. 11:1

I knew that I had to draw on my faith. I had to seek God for His will and wisdom. A friend of mine, Margery Hinman said, "I put Him in the drivers seat." And I said, "I'm just there for the ride."

"And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue;
and to virtue knowledge..." 2 Peter 1:5

You have to know what it is that you're marketing and who is your target market? Are you willing to do what it takes to learn how to create your website, learn SEO techniques to get your website listed in the top search engines, establish yourself as an expert by allowing people to know who you are?

I teach people all the time, if you know your why, God will do the how.

Another friend, Marnie Pherson wrote a great book , A Christian's Guide to Surviving a Home Based Business, some of the topics she addresses are,

* Do What You Love and the Money will Follow
* Designing Your Life for Success
* Ordering Your Business to Boom


Here's my favorite part:

"a home business is nothing like a fairy tale -- especially if you are not fully prepared. There are peaks and valleys, and sometimes the valleys last longer than the peaks."

And the rewards are incredible! Having a plan and working that plan will lead you into your desired results.

Oh, before I go, I can't leave out one of the most important tips:

Did you know that , "to be considered professional, even home workers need a company name if they are in business for themselves. You do want to be taken seriously, don't you?" If so, you'll need to register a business name.
