One of the most challenging things to maintain during anytype of new venture is Faith. Faith is the belief in something without proof. It's almost counterintuitive for the business professional because we live and die by numbers, right? We need proof that something is working or else we will adjust our approach.
There are somethings that you can't analyze or run a report on and for those you need Faith. Faith is a powerful tool that many people leave untapped. See yourself accomplishing the goals you have set forth and REALLY truly believe in yourself. If you don't, who else will. Confidence comes from within and knowing that you have the right to be a success.
Think about all of the great success stories out there. Do you think they were without struggle or opposition? No. They too went through valleys and climbed mountains. The difference between those who succeed (even after failures) and those who fail and just give up is FAITH. They believe enough in themselves to get up, dust themelves off, and keep going.
Just when you think the road couldn't get bumpier, it just may. There are lessons uncovered down the bumpy roads and you will grow, become wise, and ultimately be better prepared for larger success because of those bumps. You know the saying, "Nothing good comes easy"? There is so much truth behind that statement.
So, treat the challenges as lessons that will ultimately make you a better person and keep faith that you will succeed and remember, YOU are not alone.
To your continued success,

Having Faith

My goal for 2010
Erin Glass - Saturday, January 02, 2010
I wanted to start a blog that I update daily for an entire year. I'm starting January 2, 2010 and made my first post of the New Year on Facebook on January 1, 2010.
Moving forward I will capture my daily thoughts, aspirations, advice here and share it with all who want to follow.
Many may not know but 1 year ago this month my husband and I both lost our corporate jobs within 48 hours of each other. It's safe to say we were in shock, but we didn't waste much time before we decided that we were going to go into business for ourselves together.
We've learned a lot over that last year and I wanted to share our past experiences as well as our future with others who may be going through similar situations.
One of the very first things you should do when starting a business that most people don't think about is of course securing the name of your business. You need to be aware if you are going to have an online presence (and I suggest you do), whether or not the name you choose has a corresponding domain name available. Available is the key word. It's more difficult than you might think to secure a .com domain name.
Tip: Write down several names that you like and visit godaddy.com to search for available domains. If unavailable, godaddy will offer recommendations. Some people might say, well why don't I just buy the .net or .biz version. That's fine, but remember the most common domains are .coms and if you're marketing your business under a .net or .biz you may be loosing a lot of traffic to the .com version inadvertently marketing for your competition.
You should also purchase common misspellings as well. Example: Victoria's Secret owns victoriasecret.com and victoriassecret.com because it's easy to leave off the extra "s". When you find one you like, BUY it, even if you aren't sure you're going to use it. It's usually less than $10 per domain name for a year so it's not a lot of money to "insure" that the domain is available later if you change your mind. I would also buy the .com, .net, .org, etc if you want to ensure no one else is using the same name as you are online.
You'll realize that when you go to register your business that many organization do ask if you have a website or a web address. I hope you find this tip helpful if you are considering starting a business or if you just want to take your "brick and mortar" online.
To your success,
Erin Glass
