So we have covered Pastor Dana Coverstones' first dreams in a previous FB live discussion, which can be found on our FB or Youtube, in which we pretty much defending him and supported his views.  In this discussion, we point out a few issues we find which raise an eyebrow. Not necessarily throwing the dreams out altogether but treading lightly and listening and discerning as carefully as we can.The BIGGER topic is the different Christian responses to these dreams and the idea of a coming collapse or unrest, and the overall discussion about Christina Prepping or preparedness.  What is biblical and whats not?Thank you for Listening!Please Connect with us on social media and check out www.Acts2and42.com for more!

Elizabeth is a certified hypnotherapist, EFT and NLP practitioner, and lifestyle coach with more than 20 years of experience in energy medicine and alternative healing. Constantly searching for ways to stay young herself and to help others get younger, Elizabeth realized she could have a far greater impact on people’s lives through the Go Get Young website, than with traditional counseling. When she’s not busy recording interviews with youthful-minded entrepreneurs, Elizabeth spends her time modeling, engaging in outdoor adventures like dune buggy rides, and spending quality family time with her physician husband Tony, children Nick, Alina and Sophia, and her “fur babies,” Elle and Stella. Elizabeth is real and tells it like it is. I feel she gets me and I never feel dumb, less than or stupid about what I’m going through.

Find the Right Biz for You Series (Part 6) When determining the ideal small business for you, make sure you give consideration to potential pitfalls and address them before they become significant issues. Caution #1 – Current Employer Considerations Many people start their businesses as a side business, building up their new venture during off hours, after work and weekends, while continuing to work a full time job. A side business is a great way to test the waters of your business idea; however, there are some preliminary cautions to consider. Employment Agreement If your idea for a business involves providing a similar service or product to what your employer currently provides, consider whether you have an employment agreement with your employer. If so, check to see if it contains a non-compete clause. If it does, read it carefully to see: what the clause prohibits you from doing; for what period of time; and within what geographic range. Then check with an attorney who works in the employment law field in your state. Even if the clause appears to not apply to your circumstances, it is important to obtain a legal opinion. Your employer might see another perspective. Additionally, each US state has its own regulations and court opinions pertaining to non-competes. In some states, these agreements are close to unenforceable with the requirements for these clauses being quite stringent. In others, a broader interpretation may be permitted.  Alternatively, it may appear that the non-compete clause does directly apply to your new business idea. Don’t be discouraged. Again, check with an attorney in your state. Sometimes employers create these clauses without even knowing (or caring) whether they are enforceable because just having the language tends to have a chilling effect and may deter someone from working for a competitor or becoming a competitor just for the clause’s existence. A reminder, I am not an attorney and am not providing legal advice. I’ve just worked in the employment law compliance field long enough to know that if such a clause exists, an attorney’s opinion is critical before moving forward with your business. Employment Manual Even if you do not have an employment agreement between you and your employer, that does not mean you are in the clear. There may be a non-compete clause in your employment manual. If so, seek that legal opinion! Other company policies may also require consideration, whether or not your proposed business is related in any way to that of your employer’s. One policy to look out for is usually called something like Outside or Secondary Employment. What these policies typically state is that your job with your current employer is your primary responsibility and no other job or venture may take priority. Any time your employer requires you to work, including overtime or any time not on your regular schedule, you may not be permitted to allow another job or business to interfere. This policy may also state that you are required to tell your employer if you intend on working for a second employer, including yourself. Prior approval of your employer may be required. Your Time, Your Equipment, Your Supplies Often it is tempting to work on researching your new business ideas or working on establishing your new venture while work is slow at your employment location. Fight the temptation! Never put your current source of financial income in jeopardy by crossing this line. Additionally, never use company equipment (e.g. computers, phones, software) for work on your business. This includes company-owned laptops or phones you are permitted to take home. Usually companies limit use of their equipment to their business purposes only. Same goes for office or work supplies, no matter how seemingly small or insignificant. Tell Your Employer If you feel your employer will be supportive of your decision to begin a side business or start a new small business, by all means, let your bosses know. There often are benefits to having this discussion. If your idea is complementary to your employer’s business, there may be opportunities for both ventures to support each other. My prior employer became my primary source of client leads when I started up my first business. I referred business to them as well. People frequently leave their employers and become consultants to those businesses making it a win-win situation for both parties. Not only may you have a good client right from the start, but your former employer also may save the overhead expenses of keeping a full-time employee on the payroll. Caution #2 - Avoid Overwhelm/Finding Time As with most people, you likely have a pretty busy life to start with. Be careful to set boundaries to avoid overwhelm and stress. Whether you start this as a side business or jump right in full-time, starting a business takes a tremendous amount of time and effort. Key strategies for avoiding overwhelm: Set aside regular days and times for working on your business. Treat it like a second job if you currently are employed. Even if you are working on your new business full time, group your tasks into categories, then work only on one or two categories per day at particular designated times. This helps you maintain focus and eliminates the overwhelm from pages of to-do lists. Ensure you have support of key people around you. Cut nonessential activities and stop committing to things that do not align with your priorities. Key strategies for finding time: Determine your "Facebook Factor" for lost time, similar to the Latte Factor David Bach  created for finding lost money. Keep a log for a few days, documenting the activities you are performing throughout the day. You are bound to find time leaks with time spent on: social media, checking email, checking online news, catching “just a few minutes” of the latest hottest Netflix show. Limit these activities and use the found time to focus on your new venture. There are several apps available to help you track your time. A few include: Toggl, ATracker, and RescueTime. Use a blocked time weekly schedule. Group all of your activities that require significant amounts of time, both professionally and personally, into categories. My major categories include: Work, Business Development, Business Administration, Personal Care, House Administration, and Meetup (I run two active Meetup groups in my area that require chunks of my time). What are your major categories of activity? Once you have determined these, sit down with a blank weekly category, block out time you wish to keep open for time off or time with family or just to catch up on activities, then schedule blocks of time throughout the week to take on just one or two of your designated categories per day. Get help! In what areas can you hire help or use technology to free up your time for income generating activities. Examples of help to consider include:A virtual or in-person assistant A bookkeeper A house cleaner A pick up and drop off dry cleaning service An online grocery shopping and delivery service, like Peapod or Amazon Prime Pantry  Caution #3 - Avoid Scams If someone offers an opportunity to make money quickly with little effort and “just a small” investment, run for the hills! There are many opportunists out there with whom caution should be taken. Here are a few to particularly watch out for: Work-at-home offers that require a pay-in Medical billing home businesses Investment or business opportunity seminars (not to say there are not good ones, but do your research) Anything that requires paying for the promise of a job or business Certain multi-level marketing plans that actually are pyramid schemes (again, there are many good ones out there, but do your research to make sure the one you are considering is reputable) Email messages offering opporunitites for you to generate income but that require you to immediately provide personal data or financial information. Here is a recent article in my local newspaper warning University at Buffalo students about this type of activity: http://buffalonews.com/2017/02/09/feds-warn-ub-students-email-scam/ The Federal Trade Commission has a variety of resources for detecting Business Opportunity Scams. Be sure to check these out before moving forward with any questionable business opportunity. Don’t forget that the best small businesses are those that involve something you enjoy doing. Often these scams don’t even come close to this test. Coming Up: I will be continuing the series on finding your ideal small business idea. Soon, I’ll be discussing how to determine the viability of your business idea. We will review current methods for researching your proposed industry, business, and competitors. You will also hear an interview I conducted with one of my former clients, a gentlemen who started off his career as a former college basketball coach and transitioned into the peak pinnacles of the entrepreneurial world of finance.

[shortcode-variables slug="subscribe"] Find the Right Biz for You Series (Part 5) One statement I hear often is: “I want to start a business but I’m not sure what I want that business to be”. If you have that same feeling, you are in the right place. With these first several episodes of this podcast, I am walking you through this process of discovery to help you find the ideal small business for you. In Episode 001, we discussed the importance of conducting a self-assessment (and how to do so). In Episode 003, I talked about the various business styles, how to generate business ideas and gave you some tools to help you determine your own ideal business. Along the way, in Episodes 002 and 004, you heard interviews with people either reinforcing the discussed concepts or sharing their own experiences. If you haven’t heard these yet, I encourage you to go back and check these episodes out. Wouldn’t it be great to make 2017 the Year of Your New Business? In this episode, I am providing my top 10 list of online businesses for people on the move. I created this list initially as a blog post for Sisters in Sports, an online community for wives of professional athletes and college/professional coaches. I am the wife of a college basketball coach and, in the last five years, have lived in five different homes in three different states as a result of my husband's job. I've loved every (almost) minute of this adventure, but also found it took its toll on my work.  There are many other wives/partners in athletics in the same boat – maybe in jobs they couldn’t keep or having their own businesses they could not maintain. Although we hear regularly about professional athletes and big time coaches making six or seven figure incomes, the reality is these people make up a minuscule percentage of this workforce. As a result,  it is still important for most partners to contribute to the household income.  As I was creating this list, I started thinking about how these businesses apply to many more people outside the athletics world. These work for anyone who is on the move – military spouses, for example – or anyone who likes to travel and wants to take his or her own business with them.  These are proven, profitable online entrepreneurial ideas that allow you to be your own boss and work on your own time. The Top 10 Online Businesses for On-the-Move People 1. Virtual Assistant Most virtual assistants work on a freelance basis, performing many, if not all, of the functions of an executive assistant: • Preparing attractive presentation materials • Formatting business correspondence, contracts, and proposals • E-mail management • Travel arrangements • Managing social correspondence This work may be performed from the comfort of your home with just a computer. Non-urgent work usually may be performed on your own schedule. If you move, it makes no difference to your clients. You may begin developing this business immediately by: • Reaching out to people you already know who may be in need of this assistance or who may know of someone else who could use this type of help. • Working for someone else who runs his or her own virtual assistance service. Typically, these businesses have clients already or have inquiries coming to them regularly so they need skilled, reliable people to do the work. • Sign up to perform work as a freelancer under an online service such as Upwork, Freelancer, or Thumbtack. 2. Graphic Designer Are you skilled at designing or creating: • Logos and brand identity products? • Business and advertising products such as: brochures, business cards, postcards, website and social media banners? • Graphic designs for clothing and merchandise, such as mugs, hats, and t-shirts? • Book or magazine illustrations, invitations, and greeting cards? • Labels for beverage, food, or retail packaging? Use those skills online, from wherever you are and whenever works for you. Like virtual assistants, you may hang out your own online shingle or go to work for an already established online service such as 99 Designs or Fiverr. These provide great ways to fine-tune your skills and begin receiving testimonials that will lead to more, higher paying work. 3. Bookkeeping Do you love to work with numbers, charts, and spreadsheets? Are you the person who has to balance their checkbook to the penny? Online bookkeeping may be right up your alley, especially for small business owners abhor this these types f tasks! Knowledge of accounting software such as Quickbooks, Freshbooks, Sage, and Zoho is important to have or to be able to learn quickly. 4. Website or App Design Even if you do not already have web or app development skills, but think you would enjoy doing this type of work, there are several online programs to help you learn and get you started in business such as Skillcrush and General Assembly. 5. Online courses or eBooks If you are an expert at something, people likely would be willing to pay to learn from you. There are several resources for learning to create these online products. My favorite is Flipped Lifestyle. You’ll learn valuable tips and resources just from reading the blog or listening to their podcast. 6. Social Media Marketing Do you have a difficult time pulling yourself away from Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, or Instagram? Have you noticed how prevalent advertisements for businesses and organizations have become on these sites? Many small businesses and non-profits are looking for people who have the time and ability to create and execute their social media marketing campaigns. 7. Online Reselling I recently found a treasure trove of posters and basketballs signed by famous professional athletes in our basement. These go back to the days when my husband use to run camps for these athletes and would end up with more signed products than he knew what to do with. With my husband’s OK, I posted a number of these pieces online at eBay, sold them all within two weeks, pocketing enough income to pay for our Christmas gifts and travel. Online services such as eBay and Amazon reselling are terrific for selling gently used or collectable products. Many individuals have created a business from this. There also are apps for selling locally, similar to Craigslist, but a bit safer with a verification process. I’ve been using LetGo to great success. Facebook Marketplace is another local online resale outlet to check out. You would be amazed at the number of people who have developed their own profitable business by reselling their own goods and products they’ve found at garage or estate sales. 8. Etsy Sales Speaking of online selling – if you have a talent for creating handmade goods from pillows to hats to candles, even furniture, Etsy is the world’s largest independent marketplace for selling your products. Visit the website to get an idea of the wide variety of products offered by people there. 9. Freelance Proofreading and Editing Are you one of those people driven crazy by misspelled words or poor grammar when reading books, articles, or advertising materials? This may be the perfect income-generating online business for you. An excellent resource for learning the ins and outs of starting and growing this type of business is the Copywriting and Editing for Dummies book. In fact, when researching any of these businesses, check to see if there is a related “for Dummies” guide. These books are written by top experts in their fields. The content is presented in a fun and easily digestible way. 10. Online Translation and Transcription Service You may have lived in more than one country and learned more than one language. Have you considered using those language skills to assist others? There is a growing need for this type of work by all sizes and types of businesses, government entities and non-profit organizations. Services such as One Hour Translation and Gengo can get you up and running almost immediately as one of their translator/transcribers. * * * * * Put this information to work for you. Check out some of these ideas if you see one or more that appeals to you. If you would like more information about how to find your ideal small business, please help yourself to a free copy of my eBook: "Passion to Prosperity: Finding Your Ideal Side Business". Although it was written with side businesses in mind, the process for determining your own small business is very much the same.

[shortcode-variables slug="subscribe"] Right Biz for You Series (Part 3) This series is for people who are thinking about starting their own small business but may not be sure of the type of business or, who may know the type of business, but not be sure if it’s a viable one. Even if you already have a small business, this series may help you validate that you are doing the right thing and give you some additional ideas for making your small business even better. Generating Small Business Ideas How to Begin In Episode 001, we explored getting to know you - doing a self-assessment of your skills/knowledge/strengths/passions /interests/curiosities. If you did not have a chance to listen to that episode, I encourage you to do so. If you don’t have time for that, take a few moments now to think about those aspects of you. The ideal situation is to find a business that blends your passions/interests with your skills/knowledge/strengths. It often helps to jot your ideas down on paper, then begin generating ideas by combining some of your favorites.

Three Key Business Styles There exist a wide variety of business models that is growing and changing with our ever-expanding technologies and economics. In this segment, we explore the following three models most typical for a small business: Instruction-based: You teach your client a skill Service-based: You provide a service for your client Product-based: You sell a tangible product to your client Instruction-based Have you or a member of your family ever been taught to play an instrument? Has a company you’ve worked for ever brought in a consultant to work with the sales staff to teach them effective selling techniques? Have you ever hired someone to come to your home to organize your office or garage then taught you how to maintain it so you are never mired in mess again? All of these individuals own or work for an instruction-based business. The following are examples of instruction-based roles: Youth athletic skills coach Camp coordination advisor Human resource consultant Personal stylist Piano instructor Sailing instructor Sales or leadership consultant Social media marketing consultant Software consultant Weight-loss coach Weight training instructor College selection advisor This type of work may take a variety of forms. It may involve working with a person or company, in-person, at your location or at theirs. Communications may also be handled electronically: via phone, email, or Skype. For some businesses, group classes – either in-person or virtual - may be the ideal format in which to provide instruction. Service-based With a service-based business, you perform a task or complete a project for your client. They likely also will learn in the process, but do not have a desire to know the entire process, so leave that up to you. Examples of service-based roles: Financial Advisor (client) Website designer Tour Guide Computer maintenance technician Entertainer Lawn care Landscape designer Auto repair Insurance Broker (client) Camp coordinator Pet groomer, walker, or sitter (or all three) Photographer Property Manager Virtual assistant Tax Preparer Product-based With a product-based business, you sell something tangible to your customers. It may be something of your own creation: • Online courses or books • Artwork • Leather crafted jewelry • Blended essential oils • Sports-inspired home goods • Food You may also enjoy selling something that someone else has created and that has a strong business foundation already established behind it. Although it does not have to be, often these situations involve network marketing companies. Here you may enjoy selling things like: • Skin care products • Coffee or tea • Amazon online or eBay product seller Hybrid There is a common fourth alternative – a combination of any or all of the above. As a business coach, I provide instruction on many aspects of starting a business that my clients then run with. I also create their business plan, providing a service, so they don’t have to. If I offered a book on business planning, that might be my product. There – a hybrid business of all three styles. Application Return to your list of skills, knowledge, strengths, passions, and interests. Consider the three types of businesses. If you were to use some of your best skills or your favorite interests, which style of business would be the best fit?
