Finding Energizing Customers

I have talked a bit here in the Home Business Blog about challenging customers and how focused we have to be to work with those tough and challenging people. But, it occurred to me that as challenging as some people can be—there are those customers and clients who are absolute gems. Just being around them and interacting with them can be inspiring and energizing! So, for some balance and pleasantry in your home businesses, it is a very good thing to find and keep those energizing customers. Energizing customers are really just neat people. Having customers and clients who actually … Continue reading →

How To Get Better Rest and Have More Energy!

Posted on by

Too worried to sleep? Listen to an audio book until you fall asleep. The narrative will drown out that voice in your head that’s reviewing tomorrow’s to-do list. Drink enough water. Dehydration can make you fatigued! Be sure to drink eight glasses of water every day. With all the flavored waters out there and powdered, sugar-free drink mixes, you should have no excuse for skipping the water! Ginseng (especially the Siberian variety) can help boost your stamina. It’s been studied in both animals and humans and can give you a serious boost. Just don’t overuse it — your body will … Continue reading →

Are Your Daily Habits Wasting Energy?

This morning as I got ready for a shower, I wasted valuable electricity. How did I do this? By automatically turning on the bathroom lights when the room was already lit quite well. Early morning sunlight was streaming in, even through the closed blinds, and there was no need for additional light. But I was in the habit of turning on lights when I entered the bathroom. It was purely automatic. When I realized what I had done, and had been doing for quite a while, I immediately shut off the lights. But, it started making me think about all … Continue reading →

How’s Your Energy Level?

Recently someone told me that they thought a person had to have a bubbly, bouncy, high energy level in order to be an entrepreneur or to run their own business. I thought over all the people I know who work from home or have started a business and realized that was a complete myth! I know all sorts of different folks with very different energy levels—from those at the higher end of things (like me) to some very steady, sedate and mellow people who you’d never guess are actually operating their own businesses. It got me to thinking over just … Continue reading →

Non-Frugal Light Bulbs May Soon Be Illegal

For anyone concerned with lighting their home, fluorescent light-bulbs are the way to go. Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs (CFL) use about 25 percent of the energy that traditional, incandescent light bulbs use. They also generate much less heat than a conventional light bulb, as much as 70 percent less heat. The CFL bulbs are known for their spiral shape. If you live in California, you may be forced to give up your traditional light bulbs and made to use the CFL bulbs exclusively. Currently on the agenda for a California law maker is a law, that if passed, would ban … Continue reading →

Becoming a Healthier Mom

My children mean the world to me and there is nothing like the joy of being able to join in their world of play. We wrestle on the floor, giggle, play silly word games, build train tracks, Lego skyscrapers, play airplane where I spin them around by their arms until we’re both dizzy… But getting tired too quickly due to being overweight and hearing my boys tell me, “Mommy, still play” is grieving. Moms even in the healthiest condition often don’t have the energy of three or five year old boys, but they may be able to play chase or … Continue reading →

Emergen-C

Posted on by

This is a fantastic product! I tried it on a whim after seeing it available at my local Wal Mart. My husband and I tried a powdered multi-vitamin once that was terrific but it cost about a dollar a serving which just didn’t make good financial sense to us. Emergen-C, on the other hand, makes great financial sense at about 25 cents a serving! The one thing many people who are trying to lose weight lack is energy. I couldn’t believe the amount of energy packed into one little serving of the Super Orange Energy Booster! It not only has … Continue reading →

Winterizing Your Home: 10 Ways To Lower Your Gas Bill

Two years ago I nearly had a heart attack when I opened our heating bill. The winter was brutal and so was the payment amount printed on the bills for the months of January, February, and March. But, back then I had just given birth and was more concerned about keeping my precious baby warm than trying to make the most of our energy dollar. I’ve wised up since then. The following are simple guidelines we now follow to ensure that I don’t experience cardiac arrest when the gas bills come in. Hopefully they can help you enjoy lower heating … Continue reading →

Are you like most other Americans? Are you working longer hours? Are you sleeping less? Are you skipping meals? Are you a part of the 33% that suffer from chronic insomnia? If you are – then you are probably tired all the time and the very idea of hitting the treadmill, the elliptical, the gym, the aerobics or yoga class or worse – the weight training is something to be dreaded because if you are tired now – how the heck are you supposed to do the rest of it?

Muscle Cramps – The Best Way to Avoid Them

Posted on by

One of the worst obstacles to working out is the hard cramp that seizes up your calf when you are walking or that spasm you feel in your upper arm when you are working on bicep curls. Your muscles cramp when they are worked past their energy levels. Obviously, muscles need energy to function at their peak performance. So how do you provide your muscles with enough energy? For many athletes, that answer is found in sports drinks like Gatorade. These drinks provide plenty of carbohydrates, but you also want to make sure they provide plenty of protein as well. … Continue reading →
