Home Based Business Options for Moms

Why start a home based business?

It is the dream of many moms to start a home based business. Reasons are many but usually it is because you want to:

· Spend more time with family & kids

· Save on exp. Otherwise spent on commuting, office attire etc.

· Be your own boss

If you’re doing a regular 9-5 job you wouldn’t be able to spend much time with your kids as you like. You will also be stressed out after coming back from your office. It is in such a mood that you attend to the house work and as such your focus will be shifted away from the actual tasks itself. Also there is very limited time to attend to your kids under such a situation. You’re caught in the rat race of life.

· You want more quality time to spend with your kids.

· Set your own (flexible) working hours

· While also making a contribution to your family’s income.

Then starting a home-based business is the best thing for you!

Work At Home Moms: Is E-currency Exchanging the Perfect Home Based Business?

If you’re a work at home mom, part-time worker, or a homemaker looking for a way to increase your cash flow then this is an opportunity worth investigating.

Most women that work in internet or home based businesses end up doing some form of direct sales, promotions, or data entry. As promising as these opportunities sound they often leave women hawking makeup or typing thousands of words per day with no profit at all.

Unlike other money making programs that you might have tried e-currency exchanging requires very little of your time and resources. Among the things that you won’t have to deal with are: long hours, annoying customers, sales of any kind, products or mailing lists. You will be able to work from anywhere in the world (with an internet connection), have no set schedule, and be your own boss.

Why is this business right for work at home moms? The fact is that it takes only 20 to 30 min a day to manage your portfolio, which leaves you enough time in the day to care for more important priorities, like your home and family. Also there is no large start up capital necessary; your initial capital can be as low as $25.

This business is not hard to learn and doesn’t have an intimidating risk factor that something like day trading does.

So what is e-currency exchanging all about? Due to global commerce consumers find themselves conducting business with companies and people from different parts of the world. This has resulted in a heavy reliance on third party currency exchange services such as pay pall, e-gold, e-bullion, and plenty of others to complete cross-continental transactions more efficiently.

This influx of e-currencies has created a window of profitable opportunity for those in this business.

With so many different forms of e-currencies available there is now a need to exchange between them. In this marketplace you will be operating as a lender of e-currencies that you have purchased.

You will do this by investing in digots, a term used in this business, which represents a digital value determined by a region of activity within the DXInOne system. When you purchase a digot, it simply means that you are investing in the activity of some region of the world.

The higher the activity in that region is, the higher the digot will increase in value.

With a small investment in the system you will be making .2% - 2% on each exchange that you are involved in. The profit percents are a range because they will depend on how well you’re digot picks perform in each trading session.

The best part about this business is that you can not loose money; since your profit comes from the fluctuation of your digot values the only thing that changes is how much you make. So, on some highly profitable days you will be operating at the full 2% earning huge returns while on slower days your return rate will be less. People with large investments have netted profits over $5,000 per month.

This is just a brief explanation of what this home business is all about and it really does entail more than what has been stated. Since this business is relatively new there is not yet that much information about it readily available.

There are however several e-currency exchange experts out there who offer training on how to be very successful in this home business opportunity.

Finding a Good Stay at Home Mom's Business Opportunity

Lack of time to spend at home with your family is perhaps the most common reason people look for a good stay at home moms business opportunity. If this applies to you, keep in mind several factors.

1. First of all let's determine if you are a people person. Many moms are very social and do well in home businesses that offer them the chance to interact with their customers and distributors. We mention distributors because network marketing is one industry that seems to do very well for stay at home moms.

With a network marketing business, money is earned through a combination of retailing products, and introducing other people to do the same. Of course, if you are a very outgoing person, network marketing can involve constant interaction with both your distributors and customers, which is a great benefit.

As you get your downline trained you will spend less time with them which will free up more time to recruit new distributors. In the network marketing business you can get paid over and over for doing your work one time. This is known as residual income and is an excellent home moms business to get involved in.

2. Another method to earn money and keep interacting with other business builders every day is to utilize two-tier affiliate programs. As a way to start your own home business, affiliate marketing is first class, as well as being a great way to earn money online.

With the two-tier program you not only get paid on your personal sales but also on the sales of personal affiliates that you recruit. This makes for an excellent way to earn money if you are a sales oriented person who also likes to recruit people.

Even if you do not really like to work with people affiliate marketing is one home business you should check out. It's free to start, allows you to make money in various industries, and pays extremely well once you get it up and running.

3. One often overlooked idea is to type the words "stay at home moms business opportunity" into the Google search engine and see the vast number of possibilities that brings up. Take your time and thoroughly check out any business opportunity before you join it, but you will find that using the Internet is a great way to stay at home and also make money.

In conclusion, finding the right stay at home moms business opportunity is really a matter of researching until you find something that appeals to you. The opportunities available today to moms are endless, enabling them to get paid while remaining in their own home environment.

15 Steps for Successful Strategic Alliances (and Marriages)

Wedding bells fill the Northern Hemisphere air for this season's happy couples. Among the newlyweds armed with pre-nuptial agreements are numerous companies starting strategic alliances, joint ventures, and focused collaboratives.

Unlike full-blown mergers, in which two really do become one because one company disappears, alliances and partnerships resemble modern marriages: separate careers, individual checkbooks, sometimes different names, but the need to work out the operational overlap around household and offspring.

For many years, I've helped major companies and other organizations extract value from their strategic alliances or watch them disappear. I've developed a 15-step guide to ensuring success as every stage of the relationship, from courtship to ongoing success (first reported in my book World Class).

So here is my business marriage counseling advice. Any resemblances to personal marriages or advice for June newlyweds are strictly intentional.

1. Be open to romance, but court carefully. At the beginning of new relationships, selective perceptions reinforce dreams, not dangers. Potential partners see in the other what they want to see, believing what they want to believe. Hopes, dreams, and visions should be balanced by reality checks.

2. Know yourself. Build your strengths. An organization seeking partners should identify assets that have value to partners and strengthen them. Networks of the weak do not survive. The best alliances join strength to strength.

3. Seek compatibility in values. In rapidly changing environments, compatibility in values, philosophy and goals is more important than specific features of an immediate business deal. The basis for collaboration must be more enduring, and there must be a foundation for mutual trust to help weather inevitable changes or problems.

4. Treat the 'extended family' respectfully. Include other partners and stakeholders. Rapport between leaders of partner organizations is not enough. Other people and organizations who are the 'relatives' in each organizations' extended family must also be won over.

5. Put the lawyers in their place. Leader-to-leader relationships are important. Partnerships and network formation shouldn't be turned over to third-party professionals, such as staff analysts, lawyers, consultants, or deal-brokers.

6. Vow to work together until business conditions do us part. Commit to a first project, to exploring growth in the relationship, to monitor change, and to remain friends if changing conditions require a graceful exit.

7. But don't count on the contract. Formal agreements can't anticipate everything, and interpretations of the agreement vary — even within the same organization.

8. So keep communicating, face-to-face. Matters are more easily sorted out when partners' leaders keep talking long after their initial deal-making and dedicate people to watch over the relationship — a partner or alliance 'ambassador' (the equivalent of key account managers).

9. Spread involvement. Create more ties for more people. Alliances begin with a few direct connections among top leaders. As projects unfold, more people at more levels must get involved, and they need to feel connected, too — that they know their counterparts in their partner organization. The more people feel included, the more they have a chance to see the others face-to-face and come to know them, the easier it will be to implement partnership activities.

10. Build organizational bridges — formal structures. Active collaboration occurs when organizations develop structures, processes, and skills for bridging organizational and interpersonal differences and getting value from the relationship. Bridges include formal governance (a partnership board), joint project teams, and alliance ambassadors.

11. Respect differences. Alliances, partnerships, and networks are most helpful when they involve differences — when partners give each other something they do not already have. But differences in "specialty" desired by partners are accompanied by more "inconvenient" differences in behavioral style, motives and goals, operating methods, or cultural assumptions. Respect is essential. Time must be invested in understanding differences and transcending them.

12. Teach partners. Learn from partners. People from across the partnership network must become teachers as well as learners. Often the ultimate value of a partnership is the new knowledge and skill it brings. Organizations that derive greater value from their alliances tend to have greater communication internally, share more information, and promote an atmosphere of learning.

13. Be prepared to change yourself. Partners must be willing to be influenced by one another. To make linkages possible requires operating compatibilities, project by project and sometimes even in a larger sense. This can mean learning the other's language and style or inventing a new one; changing to the other's system or creating a joint one.

14. Help everyone win. Mutuality is the hallmark of organizational collaboration. Balancing benefits so that each partner gets something of equivalent value can be hard to do in the short run, but it is essential in the long run. The best alliances try to maximize the value of the whole relationship, which then makes it more valuable to each partner.

15. Get closer, change course, or exit gracefully. Like living systems, relationships evolve. Change should be expected. But the best guarantee that organizations will be closer in the future is success in what they try to achieve today. Success strengthens relationships.

To ensure that your partnerships are effective, apply these principles at every stage of the relationship. Then toast the benefits of happy marriages!

Barbie, Bratz, and the Employee Brain Battle

One of the challenges of managing knowledge workers is that we can't know what they know. We can only hope that they choose to share it with us.

We can't look inside people's heads — yet. But I imagine that technological innovation will soon produce this announcement as soon as an employee I.D. unlocks the exit from corporate campuses: Please deposit your ideas at the door before passing through the brain scanner to make sure you aren't taking any ideas with you. And don't forget to leave any thoughts you brought with you from home this morning; they are now company property.

This idea (which of course my employer can own) came to mind while following the ongoing case of Doll Wars, starring Barbie versus the Bratz — i.e., Mattel v. MGA Entertainment Inc.

In 2001, MGA launched its edgy Bratz dolls, which quickly became a fierce rival for Mattel's Barbie and friends. Although Barbie remained number one, sales slid. Mattel sued MGA for patent infringement and charged former Mattel designer Carter Bryant with intellectual property theft. Mattel cited its invention agreement, which specifies that any inventions including designs that a person creates at any time during employment at Mattel will be owned by the company. Bryant settled with Mattel for an undisclosed amount prior to the trial of Mattel v. MGA.

In 2008, a federal jury awarded $100 million to Mattel but no punitive damages (well below the nearly $2 billion Mattel had sought) and gave Mattel rights to the Bratz dolls. In defense, MGA claimed that Bryant's idea was created between two stints at Mattel, when he was not employed by the toy industry. The jury said that the idea for the first four Bratz dolls had developed at least in part while at Mattel. But in December 2009, an appeals court gave MGA a new lease on life, staying an injunction that would have required taking Bratz off retail shelves. This allowed MGA to keep selling through holidays and 2010 while continuing the appeal.

I have no opinion on this case, which I've summarized from public sources. But my mind has churned with thoughts, all of which, if my employer were like Mattel, would no longer be owned by me.

When does a thought become an idea, an idea become an invention? When does a doodle become a drawing? How do we know how long a thought has been rolling around in someone's mind? Is an employee required to share all thoughts about better versions of products or services? If professionals are hired to provide ideas by deadlines, and they do that, can they keep their leftover thoughts for themselves? What if their thoughts become useful ideas off-hours and off-premises with no company resources involved? On the other hand, if people work flexibly and remotely, how can there be any boundaries?

In the world of new technology, copyrights are easily infringed, and information begs to be free. Google is seen by some as a liberator of information and by others as a thief of intellectual property. There continues to be a debate about whether overly rigid patents stifle innovation, including whether patent holders can receive injunctions when there is infringement (as Mattel did), not just monetary damages. There is tension to be resolved between proprietary IP and open innovation involving collaborations across companies that can cause an entire industry to grow.

There are certainly lines to be drawn, conditions that would constitute unethical or illegal conduct. If we leave it to the lawyers, those brain scanners I imagine at the door will become real. If instead we give more rights to knowledge workers — while making them feel loyal and committed to the company — then thoughts are more likely to be shared voluntarily, and a company's best protection when ideas drift away is to keep new ideas coming. That goes for Barbie and her friends, too.
