Should I Start A Business Now???

A lot of us are thinking of starting a business but we’re scared. Especially now with the economy the way it is. Is it really a good time to start that business that we have been dreaming of?

Most times it only takes a small investment and a product to get you started.
For other types of businesses it may take a little more of an investment to get you started.

We searched the web and found an article with the top 5 reason’s to start a business now:  These top 5 reason were taken from an article written by Maria Watson of http://prosper-2009.com
==============
1. No pink slip

With people losing their jobs every day, it is a tough time to be working in this economy. Every day there is the fear of losing your job and the uncertainty has started to take a toll on many people. By starting your own business, you never have to worry about receiving a pink slip. It is extremely liberating financially and psychologically when it comes to being your own boss.

2. Prospects! Prospects! Prospects!
If there is one thing that is not secure in the economy today, it is your job. This is an extremely troubling and difficult thing to take in. What you will find online is that there is an endless amount of prospects to deal with. As long as you are motivated and willing to take action, you will find that you can double or even triple the amount of prospects you generate.

3. Tax incentives
There is not a person that enjoys paying large amounts of taxes. Why would you want to hand over a large portion of income that you have generated? By owning your own business, you will find that there are some tremendous tax incentives to take advantage of. You will finally be able to keep a large portion of income that you have invested so much effort into.

4. Now is the time
If you have received a pink slip, chances are you do not have a backup job to turn to. Instead of sitting around pouting or waiting for another opportunity to come up, jump on the opportunity of a lifetime. The sky is the limit for what you can get from starting your own business. You can potentially make a great deal of money from your own business online.

5. Invest in yourself

While the market is down, now is the time to believe in yourself and start taking advantage of the opportunities available. If you are going to succeed online, you have to have the right mindset and determination. If you are willing to invest the effort and time into yourself and the opportunities that are online, you can profit greatly.

The Grown Child Effect…

Adults living with non resolved issues from childhood may effect adulthood and possibly parenthood.

An Article on Mercola.com reports the following:

Women who were physically or sexually abused as children are far more likely to enter into abusive relationships as adults. The study findings suggest that identifying and helping girls who are being abused or are at risk for abuse can help break the cycle of family violence.

Women who were raped before the age of 16 were more than three times more likely to experience domestic violence as adults and nearly three times as likely to be raped.  The frequency and severity of childhood abuse was also associated with abuse in adulthood.  Women who abused drugs or alcohol were also significantly more likely to be abused.

The researchers note that abused adults have been found to have higher rates of unemployment and poverty. Sexual abuse is also associated with unwanted pregnancies, multiple sex partners and psychiatric problems.
Overall, 9% of women reported that they had been raped in childhood, 11% reported unwanted sexual activities but no intercourse, 5% said they had been severely beaten by a parent or caretaker one time, and 12% said they had been beaten more than once. Two percent of women reported experiencing all forms of abuse during childhood.
As adults, 17% of the women said they had experienced domestic violence with more than one partner. Eight percent had been raped, and 9% had been sexually assaulted but not raped.  Family violence is not only a social and legal issue, but a health issue as well. End

Dreams, Myths and Beliefs…

Hey friends, here’s a funny blog! Have you ever been told myths and meanings of dreams that were almost to far fetched to be true? Well, I’ve taken the liberty to look up a few online and what I have found may amaze you. It’s funny what people have been taught to believe.  We want to hear some of the things you were taught to believe or still believe. Here are a few we found online …

Myths

The black cat old wives tales are likely rooted in early Christianity when those who usually had cats, black or not, were those closely associated with witchcraft. Now, most of us know that cats come in all colors, and are owned not just by those who are involved in witchcraft, but also those that simply love cats in a variety of colors! So, choose to come into contact with a black cat, or not, you’ll likely be safe either way!

According to old wives tale, just about every bodily sensation can be explained. For instance, if the palm of your right hand is itchy, money will be coming your way. But, if you scratch the right hand while it is itchy, it’ll keep the money from coming.

As the story goes, a lady was busy with her household chores as she noticed a drifter walking toward her home. During these times, many of these drifters would rob and take advantage of any woman that was home alone. She was aware of this fact and grabbed her husband’s gun. When she grabbed the gun, she noticed that it was not loaded but before she could do anything, the drifter just opened up her door and walked in. He did not knock or make a sound of introduction at all. She dropped the gun, which landed in the baby’s crib and began her best to fight off the drifter.

Dreams

Airport Dreams To see a busy airport in your dream, signifies the desire for freedom, high ideals, ambition, and hopes. It is an indication that you are approaching a new departure in your life. Some new idea is taking off or is ready to take off. You may be experiencing a new relationship, new career path or new adventure. To dream of a deserted airport, indicates that your travel plans will be changed or delayed.

Moth Dreams To see a moth in your dream, indicates that unseen irritations and damage will not surface until it is too late. It is important to pay attention to minor details and not overlook things or others. Alternatively, the moth may symbolize your weaknesses and character flaws.

As always, we ask that you leave comments! We will share your views on S-H-E-M-A Gurls BTR’s next show.
