“Man is born to live and not to prepare to live” Boris Pasternak Do you remember the Y2K computer bug that never materialised, the US Supreme Court decision in favor of George W Bush in a split decision over the Presidential election, the launch of Playstation 2, the end of the dot com bubble? Does not seem that long ago does it? Yet it was ten years ago, the year 2000. Looking back on the start of the millennium, where did you thing you would be today, ten years on? Is the reality anywhere close? If you have achieved your dreams, then congratulations. Otherwise, you need to make the decision today that the next ten years will be different because the next ten years will go just as quickly as the last ten. Now is the time to effect the change, not in ten years time when it is too late. Ask yourself: “How am I going to live today in order to create the tomorrow I’m committed to?” Anthony Robbins You have to decide what results you are committed to and the kind of person you are committed to becoming. “It’s in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped” Anthony Robbins Decisions lead to actions. Even if you do not make a decision, you in fact have made a decision. That decision is to allow circumstances rather than yourself to dictate your destiny. Take back control of your life.
Home equity mortgages are loans that use the equity on the home as collateral. Home equity is the difference between the current value of the home and the amount owed because of the mortgage/mortgages. A home equity mortgage can also be said to be a second mortgage since the extra cash generated can be used for home improvements, thus increasing the value of the house further. Lenders Rates
Like regular home mortgages, home equity mortgages also use the property/ home as the security. In case of default, the lender has the right to take over the home. There are many advantages of taking a home equity loan: it would reduce the current loan burden if taken at a lower rate; the funds generated can be used to pay off high interest debts like credit cards; sometimes, home equity mortgages enable some tax savings; they can be used to exchange the present mortgage for a shorter term mortgage. Other advantages include: lower closing costs, and faster closing. Countrywide Loans
Home equity mortgages are ideal for people who are planning to use their home equity to finance something else. They are also good when the borrowers are planning to sell their house soon, since short-term equity loans have lower rates. Equity mortgages are preferable when the loan amount is smaller. Generally, equity mortgage rates are higher than first mortgage rates. They are also riskier because of their second-lien position. The rates of home equity mortgages depend on the frequently changing Wall Street Journal prime rate. Long-term home equity loans tend to have higher rates than even fixed rate mortgages.

I have said in an earlier blog that one should never criticise others when working our home business online opportunity. It is true that we should not criticise, but what happens when somebody actually does something that is not in the best interest of our home business online opportunity? Are we not allowed to criticise them? Well the answer is that it is ok to bring something to someone’s attention, but it is the manner in which it is done that is important. Before you say anything, think of the reason you have for saying it. Is it to destroy the confidence and spirit of the other person? No, it is merely to point out to them that there is something they could be doing differently or better. So you have to be careful when confronting the person, and confronting is a bad word to use in this circumstance as it evokes the idea that it involves a certain amount of aggression, which is what you want to avoid. Instead concentrate on using constructive criticism. Give the person enough positives to ensure their dignity remains intact even after they have heard what it is you need them to correct. The object is to retain the person as a friend/ally/partner but also to get them to change the behaviour that is upsetting to your plans.
Continuing on from my last article I want to speak again about choosing your words carefully in your dealings with others. Very often, just re-arranging the words we use can dramatically change their impact on others. In Dale Carnegie’s book How to Win Friends and influence People, he advises that “changing one three letter word can often spell the difference between failure and success in changing people without giving offence or arousing resentment”. In my last article I spoke about how to approach giving constructive criticism, i.e.. start by giving sincere praise and honest appreciation. This approach however is often ruined by following it with the word ‘but’. Think of how much better it would sound if followed by the word ‘and’ instead of ‘but’. Following words of praise by the word ‘but’, conveys a lack of sincerity in the praise, rendering it useless. The hearer will more than likely see it as just a lead in to the criticism. Following it by the word ‘and’ gives the opportunity for the criticism to be seen as a genuine attempt at giving advice aimed at improvement, rather that criticism for its own sake. What you are doing is bringing to their attention the behaviour you want amended, without inferring failure on their part. How many times has someone praised you only to follow it by ‘but’? Your heart sinks. You know the feeling when you hear – ‘that was good, but. ‘But’ is like a signal letting you know that there is something bad coming. To become an effective leader in a home business online opportunity, you need to make that change. Use ‘and’ instead of ‘but’. It will be the difference between effective leadership and having no-one to lead!
We all make mistakes! I know I have made plenty along the way and I will probably make a few more before I depart, but hopefully not as many or as stupid as when I was younger! We all know that we should learn from our mistakes, but it is equally important to allow others to learn from them. Knowing that you started from similar beginnings, allows others to feel that they too can achieve the success you have. If you never admit to mistakes, they may feel a failure, and that they will never have what it takes to be a success. If you have to draw attention to someone’s mistake, start out by admitting to having made mistakes yourself. You are showing that you are not perfect either. This makes it far easier for them to listen to the criticism. It also shows them that the situation is not futile. You succeeded in your home business online opportunity after making mistakes, so can they. My son is not a very good hand writer. I explained to him that neither was I when I was his age but that I was glad in the end that I listened to my teachers who advised me to be more careful as it was very important that my hand writing was good when I came to do my exams. I didn’t give out to him and say ‘you have to practice’. I empathised with him and used my own example to show him how important it was to improve. Like all children he looks up to and admires me, (he is still at an age where he wants to follow in my footsteps), thus my story was a very powerful message for him.
What is the best to gain a person’s attention. Is it to bombard them with information? Not exactly, most people like the sound of their own voice. Allow them to speak freely and without interruption and you will have a very attentive audience! It is important to remember that nature deemed fit to kit us out with two eyes (to observe), two ears (to listen) but only one mouth! I think that the lesson we should learn from this is that we should spend more than twice as much time listening and observing than talking. Why more than twice? Well ears are only for listening and eyes are only for seeing but mouths have to do more than just talking! We also need mouths for eating, singing, whistling etc. So lets not wear it out talking! At the end of a conversation with another, that person should leave feeling that they have been heard, that they have got theit points accross to you, that you have understood their problem/concerns and are willing to find solutions for their issues. What is the secret of conducting a successful home business online opportunity interview. Well according to former Harvard president Charles W. Elliot, “There is no mystery about successful business intercourse. Exclusive attention to the person who is speaking to you is very important. Nothing else is so flattering than that”.
