Is Your Relationship Based on a Checklist?

is your relationship based on a checklist

There are many relationships today founded only upon a checklist.  Each partner qualifies like an applicant qualifying for a job interview.

He is witty.  Check.

She is kind.  Check.

He is rich enough.  Check.

She is sexy enough.  Check.

But what happens when you mistakenly check qualities you should have crossed out?  What if both partners fraudulently misrepresented themselves?  Or what happens when people change?

Ooops!  The prince had just become a frog.

Ooops!  The princess had just become a witch.

Where is your relationship founded? Is it based on a mere checklist  you could easily crumple and tear apart?

Choose a good foundation.

Choose LOVE.

Uncovering Your Hidden Talents to Earn Money

Many people are discovering that various income
opportunities can be found on the internet. Everyday,
new forms of income from the web are introduced.
People who don’t have a career or a job can now earn
the income that they want as long as they have a
computer or laptop and a fast internet connection.

Your income business opportunity online will greatly
depend on your character or attitude and of course,
your hidden talent.  (Yes, you certainly have one! 🙂 )

You simply have to uncover your hidden
talent but how can you do that? You have to consider
these factors before you can identify your hidden
talent:

1. State of mind. Your attitude as mentioned earlier
really counts. You should have a positive state of
mind so that you can generate positive actions.

2. As long as you remain positive in every aspect,
your aspirations will continue to soar and you can get
rid of all negatives.

3. Through your creative mind, you can earn residual
income.

4. You must be an innovator; don’t follow what others
are already indulging. You must learn to ‘think out
the box’ because that is the only way to financial
success.

5. Don’t be contented by just dreaming; remember that
if you act now, your dreams can be achieved and you
can make money.

A positive thinker will believe that his or her
intelligence is enough to follow a certain program.
Don’t think negatively because if you do, you will not
achieve anything. If other people can succeed in an
online business, then so can you; soon, you can delve
into business opportunities that can bring in money.
Your imagination will now start running and that is
excellent because you will start asking questions.
Those individuals who ask and think are potential
winners.

With so many income opportunities online, you will
find it hard to choose one but for starters, you must
join a tutorial site so that you can learn about the
various tools that you can use as you conduct your
online business. You can learn about them without any
expense and since you’re just a beginner, you will
need all the help that you can get. Don’t spend money
as soon as you decide to enter in the internet
business.

As you go through the tutorials, you will learn so
many things until you finally uncover your hidden
talent. Once you do that, you can now look for a
business opportunity where you can put your hidden
talent at work. The online business you choose to run
should be something that you’re really interested at
and one that you can exert your best efforts. By using
the tools you’ve learned in the tutorial, you can
ensure your business’ success.

New forms of income from the internet are surfacing
and perhaps your business idea is one of them. Think
positive and apply everything you’ve learned in the
tutorial sites. If you want, you can also ask help
from fellow online entrepreneurs through the forums.
Participate in the forums and you can also share your
experiences as a beginner in the online business. Good
luck and uncover your hidden talent as soon as
possible.

Diversify Your Investments

“Don’t put all of your eggs in one basket!” You’ve probably heard that over and over again throughout your life…and when it comes to investing, it is very true.

This is especially true in times of economic instability or recession.  Don’t put your lifetime savings in one risky investment just because of a promised high interest rate!  You might as well put your money in your cabinet or spend it travelling and enjoying life rather than lose it in a one shot unprofittable venture.  Diversification is the key to successful investing. All successful investors build portfolios that are widely diversified, and you should too!

Diversifying your investments might include purchasing various stocks in many different industries. It may include purchasing bonds, investing in money market accounts, or even in some real property. The key is to invest in several different areas – not just one.

Over time, research has shown that investors who have diversified portfolios usually see more consistent and stable returns on their investments than those who just invest in one thing. By investing in several different markets, you will actually be at less risk also.

For instance, if you have invested all of your money in one stock, and that stock takes a significant plunge, you will most likely find that you have lost all of your money. On the other hand, if you have invested in ten different stocks, and nine are doing well while one plunges, you are still in reasonably good shape.

A good diversification will usually include stocks, bonds, real property, and cash. It may take time to diversify your portfolio. Depending on how much you have to initially invest, you may have to start with one type of investment, and invest in other areas as time goes by.

This is okay, but if you can divide your initial investment funds among various types of investments, you will find that you have a lower risk of losing your money, and over time, you will see better returns.

Experts also suggest that you spread your investment money evenly among your investments. In other words, if you start with $100,000 to invest, invest $25,000 in stocks, $25,000 in real property, $25,000 in bonds, and put $25,000 in an interest bearing savings account.

You need not be the extreme conservative investor.  But invest wisely and minimize your risks by diversifying your investments!
