One of the BEST things about network marketing, is that, with a smartphone, a laptop or notebook, and a (preferably broadband) internet connection, you can work from anywhere you want...
This week Tina and I are in Thailand, at beautiful Kata Beach in Phuket. We both love the people, the hot weather (34 Celsius today - 94 Fahrenheit) and the glorious HOT food. I had a yellow seafood curry last night that would have blistered paint, and gave Tina the hiccups when she tried it...
As usual, my P.A. has set up my schedule so that I am productive, and most importantly, happy...
At 5.30am (local) I jog along the beach for 30 minutes, then swim (float!) for another 30 minutes before breakfast at the hotel. I relax until 9.00am, by the pool or just hanging with Tina
Then I get online, and using the 50/10 working hour, I put in 3 hours working on the websites, writing articles, and filming videos. This week I am focused on the new website, as the Google Slap is still stinging.
After lunch, I answer email and messages until they are done, and the rest of the day is free to visit the many beautiful cultural and historical sites of Phuket.
This afternoon we are going up the hill to look at the "Big Buddha" to see what progress they have made on the construction since we were here last October...
One other thing: It is important that you set up your time lines so you don't miss any important training or info calls - I use my IPhone to do that - the world clock is brilliant.
See you in the soup! Or maybe the Curry! LOL

10 Reasons to Start an Online or Home Based Business
1) You get to spend more time with your family. This is the number one reason people start a business. You only get a cerain amount of time. So spend it close to the people you love!
2) You create wealth for yourself. Being a wage slave means that your boss makes more from your work than you do; it is called profit. If you employer doesn't make at least a decent margin, say 30% then you are probably about to be fired, downsized, whatever.
3) Choose your own hours. Work when there is real work to be done, not just because of a time clock or your rostered hours. Just imagine you can work to knock out your workload, and then leave! How many hours do you spend looking busy or dragging out projects so you won’t get bored? Or imagine telling your boss that you've finished your work so you would like to leave for the day…
4) Your earnings are... ALL the money that you earn. When you decide your own salary you can earn a raise. Imagine saying “I want a raise next week” and then you make it happen.
5) Tax Benefits. These are real and not emphasized often enough. You can save thousands in taxes when you know what you can deduct as business expenses. Your accountant will be able to set you up properly, and you may want to incorporate.
6) No more Commuting. Unless you count as commuting your bedroom to your home office (which may even be in your bedroom!). The average worker wastes almost 10% of their week getting to and from work. That’s a lot of time. Imagine getting a 2 hour lunch break – you could work out every day AND learn a new skill utilizing the extra hour
7) You pick where why and how you live! You no longer have to worry about living close to work. In the city, at the beach, in the hills, on a boat - you decide. As long as you have an internet connection, and a smartphone you can work anywhere, anytime! If you want, take the kids to work, (by the pool) or at the airport on the way to their summer break.
8)Get rid of the overheads; Life gets cheaper when you work from home. If you want (consult a tax professional first) you can deduct a portion of your rent or mortgage payments. You also save on office rent and furnishings. Let the corporate poohbahs blow their budgets on the antique oak desk.
9) Holidays and sick days whenever you need them! Take what you need but be careful - don’t abuse this one…
10) You no longer waste time or emotional energy hating your boss or your employer. Negativity drains your resources, lowers the quality of your work. You’ll be the best boss, because you know what to say and do to motivate your #1 employee.
