Legitimate Home-Based Business: Finding a Needle in a Haystack?
There are a myriad of home-based business programs available -- many deemed opportunities that are more likely to burn a hole in your cash pockets than fatten your wallet.

Clearing Up The Myths About Seeking Advice and Help, According To Your Strategic Thinking Business Coach
How do you feel about asking for advice and for some form of help from others? Do you always resist asking, or do you resist until it is a last resort? Why do people delay making a justified and valid request for advice and help until they become desperate and in a state of panic? I continue to be amazed at the amount of misinformation and the number of myths that exist about asking for advice and help. During my entire career, I have heard business owners, senior executives and not-for-profit board members and executive directors utter “mythical” statements about seeking advice and help. And I have observed that these same people truly believe that these myths are reality. Here are the 5 biggest myths and some insights into what I believe are the 5 biggest “realities” of seeking advice and help from others.

Making Leadership Actionable: What We Are Learning and How We Can Use It
Much of the popular and academic literature on leadership has led to advice about what is required for effective leadership. This advice is usually flawed in that it does not provide guidance for how to learn to effectively apply the advice or because the advice is based on the practices of an individual in a specific context, a context that may or may not apply to the learner’s situation. An approach to leadership development based on seeing leadership as an emergent phenomenon, rather than just something that an individual does, is suggested.
Why You Should Keep Mum to Mom
Carefully consider who to listen to when considering a franchise purchase. For years you’ve listened to your mom’s sage advice: “Turn off the lights,” and “Save your money” Most of the time that advice was pretty good and many times you even followed it. Now don’t tell your mom I said so, but there’s one time when your mother’s advice may not help you and that’s when you are about to invest in a franchise opportunity.

Best MLM Companies - How to choose the right one for you
When you have made the decision to work from home and you are looking around at the thousands of home based business opportunities on offer, you will initially experience overwhelm. There is so much to choose from and it takes some time to sift through the good, the bad and the ugly. But, if there's one word of advice I can give (and this is from someone who has been burned).....do your research. Make sure all the boxes are ticked for you and don't part with your hard earned cash until you are sure you have the right business opportunity for you. I offer a checklist which has proven invaluable for many people in their quest to own a home based business.

Giving Advice: Come again when you can't stay so long!
Whether you are the giver or receiver of advice, timing appears to be more critical than the truth; this is the principle behind the quote, "The truth out of season bears no fruit." Unfortunately, most of us didn't get the memo about how to tell advice time. I remember the first time I had to fly, I asked my cousin, an experienced flyer, for advice. He said, "Get a window seat because if it's your time to go, at least you will see it coming." His advice wasn't elegant or comforting, but I took it-and thousands of flown miles later, I still remember it as the ugly truth.

Pay No Attention To "Free Advice"
When you get inspired to take on something tough, you're bound to get free advice that you can't make it work. Generally, you should thank the advisor but ignore the advice. If everyone who'd ever been advised against a risky venture had heeded the free advice, nothing great would ever have been accomplished by the human race.

Franchising - Great Expectations
It is vitally important to seek advice when purchasing a franchised business. Do not try and go it alone. The cost associated with seeking advice will potentially save you money in the long term. Seek advice from experienced franchise advisers. Do not be nervous to ask about their experience in franchising.
