You have finally made the decision to work at home. This could possibly be a life changing decision! There are a number of benefits to running a home based business Colts Darius Leonard Jersey , but you can also run into some dangerous pitfalls along the way. Use the following tips to help you get going on the right track toward success:
1. Devise a plan The difference between a legitimate online business and a hobby is a business plan. There is no business that will ever find true success without first creating a plan of action. One of the biggest reasons why home based businesses fail is because they neglect to perform this vital step.
You need to write out your goals, what you are going to sell and who you plan to sell it to, how you plan to accomplish your goals, and ways in which you will measure your success. You will also need a financial plan and forecast. Also set daily and weekly schedules for yourself, and do your best to stick to them. As you go along Colts Quenton Nelson Jersey , you should measure how well you are performing in accordance to your plan. There is no business that is too small to require a plan.
2. Create a work environment Some people are lucky enough to have an office in their home already. However, most people will need to create one. Just find a place in your home that has enough space and proper lighting and make it your designated office area. You will also require plenty of outlets and a bit of isolation from the rest of your home. You could convert a closet or even just use a corner of your bedroom.
3. Cut down on distractions This is the biggest problem when it comes to trying to work at home. You have to find a way to let the others in your household know that you have a workday just like everyone else, and they need to not disturb you during this time. Sometimes it can be difficult to get others to cooperate with this aspect of working at home, but try to create regular work hours for yourself in which you are not to be disturbed.
Try to limit internal distractions as well, such as checking your email or instant messaging. You may find that suddenly the day is gone and you have barely gotten anything productive done. Try to discipline yourself to stay on task.
4. Start bookkeeping If you keep really good records Colts Jack Mewhort Jersey , you could take advantage of some stellar tax benefits from working at home. You may want to invest in an online bookkeeping system. You can save significant money with these programs once tax time rolls around.
5. Double check your licensing requirements You may want to check the licensing requirements in your city or county beforehand, so that you won't end up getting a huge tax bill at the end of the year. You should also become aware of any fees so you can adjust your pricing accordingly to make up for them.
This is by no means an all inclusive list, however this is just meant to get you going in the right direction when it comes to starting a successful work at home business. Matt. 8:23-27; Mark 4:35-41; Luke 8:22-25.
In my view, the significance of this miracle of nature as presented by Matthews lies in the theological teachings (which as acts of the "King of the Jews"), it contains. Like the healing miracles Colts T.Y. Hilton Jersey , they can probably be best understood against the background of the Old Testament.
In the Old Testament, the restless sea is treated as the symbol of the troubled and sinful world. The power of God is supremely demonstrated through Jesus by His authority and rule over the wind and the waves. The author is attempting to say to his Jewish readers that they should put their faith in the Son of God, as the One who fulfills God's promises to them; that Jesus is the Messiah and hope of Israel. Israel therefore should become disciples and stay faithful in the knowledge that He will deliver, rule and guide His people.
The scene in the boat as it begins to sail is one of Mark's portrayals of Jesus' humanity and those qualities that caused men to recognize Him as Savior of the world. The storm on the lake gives the picture of the trials and dangers of Jesus' own life during this era. Mark illustrates the Servant's weariness and need for rest.
There may also be some implicit message in the story for the church universal. Tertullian is often quoted as saying:
"That little ship presented a figure of the Church, in that she is disquieted by the sea Colts Andrew Luck Jersey , that is, in the world, by the waves, that is, by persecutions and temptations Colts Khari Willis Jersey , the Lord patiently sleeping, as it were, until, roused at last by the prayers of the saints, He checks the world and restores tranquility to His own."
The Lukan periscope manifests Jesus in His majestic power Colts Bobby Okereke Jersey , as a miracle worker commanding obedience of the natural elements. The emphasis is not so much on Jesus' spoken words as it is the power of His word. Jesus is depicted in action, being used to bring deliverance and protection to His own disciples. The Christology of the "stilling of the storm" is obvious: Jesus delivers.
The disciples were in the same boat with Jesus. In all the difficulties and dangers of the Christian life, during the whole journey upon the waves, often agitated by the storms of life, we are always in the same boat with Jesus Colts Parris Campbell Jersey , if we are obedient to His will. It may seem to us that He is sleeping; nevertheless, if our Redeemer allows the tempest to rise and our faith gives way to our fears, we shall not perish since we are with Him in the storm. Christ Jesus' security is our own. Come what may, we shall not perish as long as we don't jump ship.
