Are You Getting Obsessed with Areas of Your Business?

When I wrote this morning about how important it can be to look at where a person is spending the bulk of his or her time when it comes to the home business operation, I started thinking about how many of us become more interested in one or two areas of our businesses than others. In fact, we can become downright obsessed with certain areas or elements of our home business and that can be both a good and a bad thing… Obsessions can be inspirational and can invigorate us to spend more time and energy on certain areas of … Continue reading →

Is This an Interest or an Obsession?

Interests and passions drive our home businesses—if it is not something we can get excited about, then it is usually tough to stay motivated and involved. However, there are those times when something that interests us or something for which we hold a healthy passion—can cross over and become a stressful obsession… Who among us hasn’t heard of those stories of stalkers and “follies”—those projects that were ill-fated but the passionate individual just couldn’t let go until he or she was ruined?

Recruiting Tool: Obsession, the Movie

This is probably one of the best recruiting tools available. It’s called Obsession, and it’s being billed as the must see film or our time. Heck, I just got done watching the clips, and it made me want to enlist. This film clearly shows the enemy we face and why we must fight the Global War on Terror. Unfortunately, Obsession doesn’t yet have a U.S. distributor (imagine that) but I found that the director’s cut can now be ordered on DVD at the Obsession, the Movie website. The film plainly distinguishes between Muslims and terrorists, noting that not every Muslim … Continue reading →
