Sunday, March 8, 2009. <\/em><\/span> A man owned a small ranch In Texas. \u00a0The Texas Work Force\u00a0Department claimed he was not paying proper wages to his help and sent an\u00a0agent out to interview him. “I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them,” demanded the agent. <\/span> “Well,” replied the farmer, “there’s my\u00a0farm hand who’s been with me for 3\u00a0years. \u00a0I pay him $200 a week plus free room and board.\u00a0The cook has been here for 18 months, and I pay her $150\u00a0per week plus free\u00a0room and board.\u00a0\u00a0Then there’s the half-wit. He works about 18 hours\u00a0every day and does about\u00a090% of all the work around here. He makes about $10 per week, pays his own\u00a0room and board, and I buy him a bottle of bourbon every\u00a0\u00a0Saturday night. \u00a0He\u00a0also sleeps with my wife occasionally.”\u00a0\u00a0 “That’s the guy I want to talk to … the\u00a0\u00a0half-wit,” says the agent. \u00a0 “That would be me,” replied the Rancher.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Being self employed since 1992, I can relate.\u00a0 Even the half-wittedness. I know I walk daily in that world where half my consciousness is on my physical plane duties and half in that higher realm where intention, expectation and belief all simmer together in the soup of my ongoing manifestations.<\/p>\n

I think for anyone who is starting out with no clear direction of what kind of small home business they would like to begin, just the idea that they want to do it, it’s important to place your mind in a state of receptive and relaxed expectation that you will begin to have thoughts and ideas that begin guiding you.\u00a0 You will be guided to find certain books, particular websites, certain people and events, all that help you in your discovery of what you’d like to do.<\/p>\n

Some would say that’s a foolish attitude, to which I’d respond “Exactly.\u00a0 That’s the point.”\u00a0 If we want to be able to hear any guidance that is waiting to be known by us, we have to be in the mind state of the fool.\u00a0 Simple, unencumbered by excessive analytics, receptive.\u00a0 I think of the Fool<\/a> in the tarot deck.\u00a0 First of all, it is card number 0.\u00a0 Zero stands for infinite potential.\u00a0 The Fool represents the essence of everyman embarking on the journey of life, self-discovery and mastery. He faces life and his journey unafraid, trusting that all will be well, that every experience has a deep essential meaning.<\/p>\n

The Fool coaxes us to walk our own path, not the path of the “herd”.\u00a0\u00a0 The Fool card represents a new beginning, a fresh start in any aspect of our life. When this card is drawn, we are faced with important choices and decisions which need to be made as we begin this new life-cycle and to deal with any difficult challenges along the way. The Fool tells us to face these challenges with energy, optimism and faith to ensure a positive outcome. To walk our own unique path with optimism and hope.<\/p>\n

So to me, if you’d like a home business yet have no idea what that might be, the first step is connecting with inner guidance and asking to be led to people, places and circumstances that bring you information and opportunity.\u00a0\u00a0 Soon enough you’ll have gathered enough information to help you get clear on what you want and don’t want, how much time you do or don’t want to spend, how much financial outlay is comfortable for you, if indeed any is needed.<\/p>\n

And there are a lot of free articles all over the internet about finding your passion and how to go about it and how to get a mentor and all that. There’s a great article at Smart Business Marketing Ideas<\/a> called Recessions Are For Losers<\/a>, and it will have you laughing while inspiring you to get your ass in gear.<\/p>\n

We’ve got some links on the website at Horizons Magazine<\/a> that might give you ideas to get you started, but Google around and you’ll come up with lots of good sites.\u00a0 And remember, you don’t have to pay for someone’s books or products, save that for fine tuning your interest.\u00a0 Initially, take advantage of everything available free on the internet.\u00a0 If it sounds like sales hype or wants you to give your email address out to access the page, simply move on to the next page. You’ll be guided to the right ones.\u00a0 Just like you found me here.<\/p>\n

No strings attached.<\/p>\n
