Oh excitement and joy! My new notebook from Dell arrived today and here I sit all comfy on my couch typing away on my wireless internet connection, as happy as can be. I'm thrilled with the service I received from Dell. The computer arrived quickly and it's fantastic. I got the Inspiron 1525. It's green. Green is my favorite color. That just is the icing on the cake.
I'm going from a 1.7ghz processor, 512MB ram to a 2.4 Duo with 3GB ram. WHOOOOOOSHHHH this thing is fast. I like the keyboard too. Not too clicky, but not too soft either. The sound is great. Screen resolution rocks. ::::beam::::: Look...isn't it pretty??
I was impressed with the selection of
Dell Notebooks.
I love their little wizard that walks you through building the system with just the options you want. I even got a matching green wireless mouse and laptop bag. Life is good.
Now that I can blog from anywhere, I'll probably blog a lot more!

My local news station did a story on work from home opportunities tonight. It's nice to see working from home becoming a viable option for more and more people. There are so many jobs that can be done from home. I truly hope more companies begin to recognize this. Check out the article on the
9News website, and check out this
cool blog of a work from home mom they featured!
Yep, that's been my day. I realized things were getting messy and it was taking too much time to find things. So now my files are back in order and I've set up a handy-dandy tickler file to keep track of things. It's really one of the best inventions. Here's a great link that shows you how to set it up and use it
Tickler File. Trust me, you won't regret it.
Staying organized is one of the most important parts of working from home, I think. When you work where you live, if your work is cluttered you just can't get away from it. Fall is a great time to purge a bunch of stuff, throw things away, or get some file boxes to put away stuff you need but don't refer to on a regular basis like old tax files.
For those who want to be their own boss, a franchise is an option to consider. Of course, not all franchises are home based, but there are a lot of franchise type business opportunities out there where you can operate a business out of your home. If you're looking at options for yourself, take a look at Red Hot Franchises. It is a free site with tons of information about various
Franchise Opportunities and business opportunities. You can browse by industry or search by keyword to find the type of business you are looking for. There is advice, articles and more. Check it out...you may just find the right business for you!
It's easy to avoid - just be truthful about your business. There are people out there looking for business opportunities and there are people who are looking for jobs. Don't lie to the people looking for jobs by saying you're "hiring" for "work from home executives" when the truth is that you're recruiting for your MLM business. MLM and direct sales businesses are GREAT! They are very successful for lots of people. But to use deceptive advertising like that is just shooting yourself in the foot.
1. It makes you a liar.
2. It puts people in front of you with a "job" mentality...is that really what you want for your business?
Be smart - if your business is as great as you think it is, you don't HAVE to try to fool people into thinking they're getting a job interview when they're getting recruited into something they will have to make an investment to join.
Stop lying, people. It's annoying as heck and this is a big part of what puts a bad taste in people's mouths when they think of MLM and Direct Sales. If everyone would just be HONEST, it would be easier and more successful for everyone.
So the bailout went through today, but no one seems sure about how the current economic situation is going to affect the average American. All over the country people are wondering "can I get a
Personal Loan?" or "how can I qualify for a
Car Loan? Well, the Internet is a good place to start your search if you are in need of credit today.
BestLeadingLenders.com is an option to check out for those who prefer to get their information and even their loan approval from the comfort of their own home. You can use their site to search for all types of loans and even
Credit Cards for Bad Credit. In uncertain times it's nice to know there are information and loan sources out there. As always, do your due diligence when working with any financial service provider. Be careful out there!
