Over 30 years as a self employed individual, in the same business, has produced a good living and a lot of experience . The first 10 years were spent chasing the almighty dollar with no real concern over spiritual matters. people would often ask why I would be willing to expose myself to living as an on call person, willing to be interrupted day and night, which goes with the territory for this type of business. True it didn't have to be as vulnerable to the publics demands as stated, but for an untrained, young business entrepreneur with no money it seamed to be the best way to become well known. After a number of years my values changed. Jesus became important to me and a more independence became possible.

Some ask how it was possible to remain in business for so long, without growing much bigger and without hiring a bunch of people to provide such a wide range of services and products. The answer is simple; integrity and location. You've heard the term "location is everything". Well, it's true. Some mean the term as the reason for magnificent growth because of the traffic. Where we are it was just the opposite, in the early days. Living in a seasonal location, The Jersey Shore, you had to be able to offer a well rounded line of products and services to produce year round and choose them so that no one operation creates a problem for another so that a bottle neck occurs preventing timely delivery. Of course if you were wealthy to begin with, you could open a well stocked store, boardwalk business or be in the medical field. You also had to be trustworthy and dependable to be sought after, or have that appearance anyway.

Don't get me wrong, life has been comfortable and I really like what I have done over the years, especially since my spiritual life and business were integrated . There's a lot more to being in business than just location and we can talk about these areas as we progress. I'll be happy to answer questions, within reason, about the various aspects of my current business, the blessings and the pitfalls of being self employed and what difference it has made for me as a Christian in business.

Now, I want to embark on a new direction that will allow for even more independence. The internet seems to be a perfect opportunity. I have partnered with
My Power Mall and am really getting my feet wet following the 36 day plan. Of course my 36 days may end up more like 36 weeks there is so much information to put to work. My own
MALL has a lot of profitable offers thanks to this union. You too can start learning about this fantastic opportunity at absolutely no cost. That's what has made the difference for me. There is nothing for me to loose while I am learning the ropes. in fact I'm actually earning while learning and that is a big difference from what I see going on with most of the internet offers.

I'll give you a free mall if you are interested. Once you own it you can move into the business, if you wish, at your own pace. There are no requirements other than using the mall once a month to buy something you need. No dollar amount and no periodic fees are needed to keep your mall. If you accept a business mall from me you will be allowed to give away free malls too. Sound intriguing?
Click here and go to my site where you can watch a movie, featuring the company founder, that gives you great incite on the business. Let me know what you think. As I said there is a lot to learn and you will get 36 lessons that will guide you to a successful start and of course we can discuss many ways to use all that is available. Since starting I've come up with ideas on my own that are working too.

Next step is to learn how to offer information about interior Design, related products and services to people at reasonable rates, then the old will be supporting the new and vice versa. It is the intent here to leave the door open to discussions about how to keep God first in your life while running a successful business. It is possible, I know and am willing to talk about it. How to integrate an off line business with an online business can also be profitable discussion.

There is another site that is providing working capital while going through the learning curve. This is a neat program called
Hurraz
.
We get paid to read ads. It only takes a few minutes a day to pick up a few dollars. Add this money to referral commissions you get for introducing people to Hurraz
. and you will be able to fund a lot of the plans that cost money to get into and still take the family out to dinner. Works for me. Any comments? Any Questions? Any suggestions?

There seems to be a difficulty in getting people to stop and talk. If you are reading this, why not add a comment about what it takes to get people interested in asking questions and giving ideas. Who knows it may awaken some others to do the same and we can have a great exchange.

Is there some information someone may need about window treatments, upholstery or slipcovers? Now is the time to get answers for free. Eventually I'm going to figure out how to sell my expertise on line. Maybe you have some ideas on how this can be done and help me on my way. Who knows we may be able to trade.

As mentioned in the opening post, my background includes more areas of knowledge such as counseling, accounting, Christianity, and metal detecting. If you want to jump in on any of these feel free.
