The Simple Life
By Terry Poster
We celebrated our youngest son’s birthday over the weekend. He turned 19 on Saturday. I was trying to remember my nineteenth birthday, what I did, who I was with, etc., but I came up empty. I guess 1977 was longer ago than I thought it was.
I do know that in the summer of ‘77, there was no internet, compact discs, mp3 players, cellphones, but we managed to survive somehow. I’m laughing as I write this, because I remember thinking my parents were stone age, because they talked about growing up without television.
I do enjoy all the technilogical advantages we enjoy today, but the plain truth was it was much
more simple back in the day. We had less choices, but there was always enough. Today things are
expanding so rapidly and things are a becoming so specialized and defined that it is easy to get
caught up becoming involved in too much and spreading ourselves too thin. We have to make
a conscious effort to scale our life back and to choose only what we need. It’s hard sometimes,
because so much looks so good.
It certainly applies to those of us who have a home based business. There are so many great
opportunities out there that it makes it difficult to choose one and focus on growing just that
one business at a time. The same with the ways to market your business. There are so many
successful ways to get the word out, that if you are not careful, you are tempted to try this
and try that, that you never seem to get anywhere.
Although it can be difficult to succeed in the home business arena with all the choices
available to us, the great thing is that we have many more opportunities to become succesful
as a home entrepreneur than we had back in the summer of ‘77. The key is to live simply.
Don’t spread yourself to thin. Plan your day, your month, your year and your life with the
awareness that simple = best.
Don’t be a victim of too many choices that will suck you in and stifle your progress.
Choose your opportunity, a few simple ways to market it and put your drive, desire, determination
to work and accomplish your goals each day, each week, each month, each year and live the life
you deserve.
Find a mentor that is already enjoying the success you desire and ask for help. I’m sure you will
find that most people that are enjoying success have there priorites set and there life simplfied and are
targeted for success.
To your success, the simple way, sincerely,
