Making Your Break!

Do you want to know how to make money? There are all kinds of ways to make money, just look at all of the work at home offers you see online. Do you have a skill that others could use? Do you have a product that you can produce and sell? You can hang out your shingle and offer your product or service to waiting customers.

Maybe you don’t have either of these. Peruse the work at home ads. The important think is finding one that suits YOU. Decide if you want to do cold calling door to door sales, or phone networking, live events, online or any combination of these,

So now let’s say you have a product to sell. Your first responsibility, even before you run one ad, or head out the door with high hopes, is to learn. Learn ALL YOU CAN about the product and company you signed up with. You want to be able to answer almost any question that may be asked of you.

Now let’s say they’re car alarms. How do you market them? You could go door to door and give your prospective customer your spiel about its quality and reasonable price. Or in the case of personal care products, you could go on and on about how good they feel, and how good they’ll make you look. You’d probably get turned away over and over again.

Why? You have a good product or service, and you’ve explained all of that. You need to look beyond the product or service. You need to look at the benefits. Show your customers the need that will be filled, the desire that will be fulfilled. What will the product do for your customers? If you’re selling car alarms, do some research and find out how many auto thefts have occurred in your area and give them that information. Are you selling cosmetics? Appeal to the woman’s desires or the desire of her husband to make her happy. Go beyond the product and promote the benefits.

If you’re not only selling a product online, but offering a business opportunity such as an

MLM or affiliate offer, use an expert. Most of these type of companies have videos made for you that talk about the company and what it will do for you if you sign up. Watch these over and over to learn and USE them to promote your own offer. Explain the buy in cost. Nobody likes surprises. After you explain the opportunity, tell them the cost of signing up and any monthly charges. Of course, also explain the potential for financial gain. Don’t promise the world. All business requires work and no one will become rich overnight.

I happen to have found a great company! In fact it’s the first company I’ve actually made money with after several years of trial and error. It has a great support system and a good pay system. Why not take a look at Jewelry in Candles now. If it’s not for you, I understand. But I can tell you that it’s one of the fastest growing companies out there and I’m proud to be a part of it.

Paraffin vs Soy - FREE SIGN UP!

Did you know that there’s a distinct difference between Paraffin wax candles and candles made from natural soy?

Paraffin wax candles are made from petroleum products. That’s the reason you end up with stained walls from the smoke. It’s also why some people believe they can’t burn candles in their homes. They have allergic reactions to the chemical content in them.

Paraffin wax has a high burning point, meaning the candles don’t burn as long, and you end up replacing them sooner than you should have to.

So when you burn one of these and inhale the fragrance you’re not only getting the sweet aroma, you’re also inhaling the chemicals that may irritate sensitivities that you may have.

Along comes the natural soy wax candle. Our soy wax candles are made from soy beans. They’re completely natural.

What does mean to you? There are no harmful chemicals to irritate you. Most EVERYONE can burn them in their home worry free. There is not the wall staining smoke like that of a paraffin wax candle. They have a lower melting point meaning that they’ll last much longer. Another benefit to this is that if you accidentally spill melted wax on yourself, it won’t burn you.

Since it’s all natural, you can actually use the wax as skin cream!

Think about this too. When you purchase a paraffin wax candle, you’re helping to support the petroleum industry. When you purchase a soy wax candle, you’re helping support the American farmer!

Now then, have you ever considered earning money from home by marketing scented candles, ones with jewelry inside? Now is the time to take that next step. This week ONLY, signing up is FREE! Find our more here!

How to Make Chocolates

Did you ever wonder that? In brief, they're made from bitter cacao beans and folded into chocolate bars. If you were a large chocolate company you'd need tons of them. Here's a guide to the production process.

First of all you have to harvest the cacao beans. Large companies either buy them from growers or they buy the farm and then harvest the beans. They place them into an oven at between 250 to 325 degrees F. for 5 to 35 minutes. You gradually lower the temperature and stop roasting when they start to crack. Their two reasons for the time variance.

The first is to prevent the beans from burning. The second is that the cooking time of cacao beans varies  according to bean type.

Companies produce chocolates in huge quantities and therefore, the beans are stored in drums and rotated over gas grills. Once they're roasted, they must be cracked into small bits, or 'nibs', removing those that can't be cracked.

Next is grinding them into a cacao liqueur. You need a machine to liquefy this while separating the remaining husks that weren't culled after roasting.

Then you conch and refine the chocolate so that you're able to give it a distinct taste. This is what makes the different tastes of product between the large chocolate producers.

First melt the chocolate and cocoa butter in an oven at around 120 degrees F. Then mix non fat dry milk powder, sugar, lecithin and a vanilla pod for about one hour. The mixture is then poured into a grinder with some heat, keeping the chocolate a liquid. Refine for at least 10 hours but no more than 36 hours.

When ready, temper the chocolate so it looks shiny and soft enough to easily melt in your hand.

We're almost finished. Mold the chocolate into your desired shape. Produce in large quantities by using molds. Pour in and after cooling, package it for delivery.

Some companies sell these in blocks so people can buy them, melt it and mold it to their own desired shapes.

Making chocolate is easy. You just have to have the equipment and all of the ingredients. Volume doesn't really matter because the principle is the same whether producing a huge batch or a small one. If you're really serious about making chocolate from scratch, try to find a class and sign up.

So what if you don't want to go to all that work and chocolate simply disappears too quickly anyway? There is another option to sort of satisfy you. How about a Chocolate Fudge scented jar candle? This candle fills your home with the scent of creamy milk chocolate, creating a satisfying ambiance and leaving your mouth watering. Plus, it comes with a jewelry surprise inside!

Meditation: A Stress Management Key

Have you ever seen a person break down in depression, or become incapable of thinking clearly during times of great need or experiencing problems in their life? These people let stress run their lives and it's not a pretty sight. The only way to free yourself from stress is making sure you don't let it rule you.

The Mind

Our mind is the first to be affected by stress. The harmony of our thoughts can be disrupted if worries and problems take over our consciousness and control our thinking. Quarrels and fights and financial worries can have devastating affects on our mind. The first thing that should be done when that happens is relax.

Easing your mind is a good way to control stress but it's not an easy thing to do. It takes concentration and willpower. There are ways to help your mind to relax. Aromatherapy is one such tool you can use. Having the scent of lavender or jasmine drifting through the air can put you in  a meditative state as long as you concentrate, and help you relax almost immediately. Scented candles are excellent for this as are incense or oils.

Meditation

If you're under stress, it's almost impossible to find a solution to the problem at hand. Learn to focus your energy to let your mind relax. You can DO this through meditation.

Meditation allows you to focus your mind on one thing while the other things drift away. There are meditation classes that will guide you through steps on how to make your mind relax and meditate and stay there during stressful times. This allows you to focus on a single thought, like finding a solution to your problem without the worries and anxiety getting in the way.

The Steps

Step one is to look for a peaceful setting. Stress management starts with serenity and solitude, so pick a location that is quiet and peaceful so you can start meditating. Pick a room in your house that is conducive to meditating, or if there is too much activity in the home, find a quiet outdoor location.

Once there, focus your mind on specific parts of your body. Begin with your toes and work your way up and throughout the rest of your body. Close your eyes to keep visual distractions out of your mind and concentrate on each area, telling it to relax. Once you're completely relaxed, focus on a solution to whatever problem you have. You may experience a slight heaviness when you've relaxed. This is normal for beginners, but you'll soon get over this.

Focus on a question, such as a solution, with your mind. You may find that thoughts appear and disappear. Make a note of these and try not to focus on them too much, or the purpose will be defeated. It's like watching a movie, let the scene pass.

The next time you have a problem that stresses you out, meditate, ease your mind, and come up with a logical solution.

Personal Stress Management

Recognizing the symptoms of stress is easy. However, many people don't understand the true definition of stress and resort to medications and herbs to get rid of stress without figuring out the cause of their stress. Hastiness will lead only to temporary relief and return once the medication has worn off.

Personal stress management means making your own routines which allow you to cope with problems and avoid possible stress symptoms in your daily life. Here are a few tips to help you rid yourself of stress in your own way.

Understanding is Key

Know what stress really is and how it can affect you. Stress is a scenario of events that effect emotional, mental and physical faculties negatively. Usually, stress starts in the mind, branches off and effects your emotions. Left uncontrolled it will begin taking its toll on your physical body.

Reflect on your problems. Take time to figure out what in your life stresses you. You can keep a daily diary or make a list of your problems on paper and try to analyze each one. Being able to narrow the causes of your stress will enable you to find ways to rid yourself of stress. Talking to people close to you is a great way to deal with it also. Stress is a bottle up emotion and unless you find a way to release it, it'll blow up inside you creating a very unpleasant situation for yourself and those around you.

Help Yourself

Make it go away. So you've figured out how stress affects you. Medicating or using home remedies only lead to temporary fixes. You need to use your mind. Stress usually shows itself when we think about our problems. When your problems control you, the affects will be felt immediately.

You need to relax and face stress head on. Figure out the cause and find a solution. Music and meditation are a good start to calming your mind, allowing you to make better, thought out decisions. Aroma therapy can help relax your mind. Certain scents are proven to have a calming effect and will help clear your head. Scents such as lavender and jasmine are excellent. I love having scented candles around the home. Not only do they calm you, but the aroma makes the room more pleasant smelling and comfortable.

Start Small

When even one problem appears, deal with it. Obviously problems predate stress. Stress multiplies just as your problems pile up. If an event, whether in your career or your personal life enters, try dealing with it immediately. Don't let your work pile up or you'll just compound your problems and thus, your stress.

The secret of stress management is identifying the cause of stress in your life. Make your own routine to help you deal with it and cope with any future problem that will cause you stress.

A fun wordsearch for you.

Romano and Julia

Here's a short story for you:

Julia wasn't the prettiest woman in the land. In fact, she was quite plain. Neither could she afford the finer like other women, as she had come from a poor family that worked hard for what little they did have. However, like so many young women, Prince Romano caught her eye. She'd watch him as he rode his white steed through the streets of Verona. As was his custom, the Prince would often visit the homes of the people living there. These visits were meant to both encourage the people under his fathers rule and also to build good relations between the civilians and the monarchy.

On one such day, Prince Romano came knocking on the door of Julia. She was embarrassed by her looks and dull frock but she welcomed him into her modest home and bade him to have a seat. She offered him herbal tea and he thanked her. As they spoke to one another the Prince noticed that he was more relaxed there than he had been in any other home. Julia also had and enthralling smile and a glint in her eyes.

You see, Julia always thought it important to maintain a calming atmoscented candles sphere in her home, and put her best foot forward when entertaining company, no matter whom the visitor. She kept herbs in pots growing in the home and lit scented candles throughout, to bring the natural scents of nature inside.

Prince Romano took to visiting her often and they soon fell in love and married. What is the moral of this story? To win over your love interest, calm them and let your inner self come through.
