You Never Know Where Your Next Client Or Customer Will Be Coming From!

I have started a new blog, "Rose's WebPage Designs!

I started this new blog because I got a new client who is a neighbor of mine.

Since this is a separate kind of work from my grant research, I decided to start a new blog about it specifically.

You just never know where your next client is coming from!

The Law Of Attraction!: The Law Of Attraction & Wealth!

The Law Of Attraction!: The Law Of Attraction & Wealth!: "Of course one of the things that I want to accomplish with the law of attraction is to bring more wealth into my life! Interestingly enough I got a new client a few days ago!"

The Law Of Attraction?

I do a lot of "law of attraction tweets on Twitter. Why? Because I really do believe in the law of attraction and I have seen constant testimonials from others who are very successful who have used the law of attraction.

What is the law of attraction? Simply stated the law of attraction says that what you focus on you will get. So, for example, if you want to make more money then you should focus on wealth and not the lack of having money. Because if you only focus on the lack of money all you will get is a lack of money.

Money comes in many forms! For example I have a blog about government grants where I post about basic information about available grant programs. There is also such a thing as unclaimed money where there are countless lists of accounts that have money that has not been claimed! (You can find out more information about unclaimed money by going to my blog, The Unclaimed Money Blog.)

I have had my own examples of the law of attraction working for me as far as money has been concerned. Money came to me in the most unusual of ways! So I do know that the law of attraction has worked for me. Now I just have to learn how to become a master at it - which is what I am working on.

If you want to be able to work from home visualize it! Take some time out and actually visualize how you would like your life to be! Think about it in as much detail as you can and really feel the feelings of you working from home! Eliminate as much doubt, worry and stress as you can because those feelings will get in the way of what it is that you really want to feel which is successful and wealthy!

A very popular law of attraction saying is that we can create our lives the way that we want it to be. I really do believe that that is true!

"What Are You Going To Do With Your Tax Refund?"

Someone asked this question on Twitter and I decided to answer it too.

Since I am self-employed I have to pay a self-employment tax so that means that I really don't get a tax refund. )-:

The money that I earn from my grant research, my Google Adsense income and my ebooklets all have to be reported and I have to pay a tax on that income. Since it isn't automatically take out I have to take it out and account for it myself.

This may seem like one of the more bad aspects of working for one's self but it is something that I would still rather do than to work for someone else!



It also makes filling out my tax forms a little bit more complicated because there is more than just the simple 1040 form that I have to fill out. But I'm happy to say that I am almost finished with filing my tax returns. I have already sent in 2 of the 3 that need to be done and the third on I just have to stick the forms in an envelope and mail them before the 15th! So I'm almost done!

I'm A Photographer!

Remember when I said that one never knows what kind of hidden talents they might posess? Well I have recently come to find out that I am a photographer! It never really occurred until I was visiting one of my "art" galleries that I have online. (You can find out more about my "art" by going to my The 3D Beginner blog.

I was looking at other people's art galleries and realized that they had included their own photography into their galleries and I thought to myself that 'hey, I have pictures that I have taken too!' and I started adding them to my art galleries as well.

I have taken quite a few pictures of my local area and have added them to my blog. Now some of the pictures look blurry and some of them are not 100% clear but it is still photography. What is also interesting to note is that most of the pictures that I have taken so far have been with my camera phone. (Note to myself - I need a digital camera!).

Now since I have earned an income from my blogs that means that I can deduct the cost of a lot of things (business expenses) as far as my income taxes are concerned. What comes mostly to mind is that I could buy a digital camera and deduct the cost of it on my income taxes.

Now you may ask about how does this relate to working from home and hopefully it would be obvious but just in case it is not...............................

Because I have a website and blog about my local area, I have been getting email from those that have seen them and these pages are started to get a reputation and their popularity is growing. I have gotten email from some of the local businesses and organizations in the area as well. I put up a picture of our local church and got a nice email from a woman who said that she was feeling nostalgic about the area and was searching online and up came the picture that I had posted of the local church. She said looking at that picture brought back a lot of memories......................

You could start your own little newsletter-type thing about your local area as well. It could be a blog or a website (both that you can get for free!) and you could start to put content on it about your local area. Sign up for adsense so that you can have advertising on your site and start to earn an income from the adsense. Once you reach a certain amount in adsense earnings you can declare this as your business and start to be able to deduct business expenses that are related to running it. Invest in a cameraphone and/or digital camera and go around the area and take pictures. Put those pictures on your site. Let your site build up a reputation and as more and more people come to visit your site it will gain an even bigger reputation. You can then solicit the businesses in your area to advertise on your site. You can make good money using adsense but you can make even more money by getting advertisers directly!

I also have a LaMott Radio (Internet) Station and a LaMott podcast (that I'm still working on) as well. The internet radio station has a yearly fee but the podcast hosting is free.

There are just so many possibilities that one can work with when building up a business such as this. But the important thing to remember is that since your income will be had from advertisers that you have to appeal to them in order for them to want to advertise on your site. Then there can be other forms of income coming from it as well. You could even classify yourself as a reporting and report on different events and issure in your area as well.

There are just so many ways that one can go with an idea such as this one!

Give it some real consideration as a possible business for you to start that you can work from home from it.

A Person Of Many Talents...................

Doing grant research involves doing a lot of detailed work. So it's nice to be able to do something else as well. Here you see a render of myself (sort-of-LOL!) that I made myself using DazStudio! It's a pretty good likeness of me except I haven't included my glasses but the hair is just about right! I have taken this render of myself and have used it as my avatar on a lot of other sites that I belong to. Its just a good enough picture to be not of me exactly but very close! A lot of people would like to have the same kind of picture of themselves so that they can use them as avatars or on their website.

I was thinking that this would be a very good business to go into. Now I'm not an expert at 3d design but I do have an interest in it and I'm still learning more about it by doing it.

Did you know that the program that I made this render with was a free download! If I would have bought the program it would cost over $200! And even then if I had bought the program and was able to get some clients who wanted me to do renders of them - I could deduct the cost of the software because I used it in my work.

I also talk about on my consultation page about how you can take programs that are already installed on your computer and start a business of your own using the program(s).

There are many people that have more than one talent and you may be one of them. Something that is of interest to you but you don't think that you could start a business with - you would be sadly mistaken!

Just take note of what I was talking about above. Do you think that that is a good picture? Do you think that others would be interested in having a 3D render of themselves that they could use for..........whatever? Do you think enough people would be interested so that one could start their own business just doing this? And who would be able to start a business like this? That would be someone - maybe even a student - who was interested in 3d design and is doing it now but didn't think that they could earn money from doing it.

This applies to you too? Is there a talent that you have?

It Seems That I'm Not The Only Person Working This Fourth Of July Holiday

I really have to learn to watch that! It's a nice day today - nice and breezy - so I have the windows open and I can smell the barbecues going on! But I can also hear some of the workers next door sawing and cutting and just doing some general work on a house.

Mind you I'm not ALL work and no play but it does seem that I'm working more lately.

I'm no Steven Spielberg but....

I'm no Steven Spielberg but....

I hit on the idea that I would take pictures from my webcam and turn it into a little, short (and I do emphasize the word short) film.  While I was taking the webcam pictures it occured to me that I had some film editing software so I decided to play around with it to see what I could do with the program.   It had been a while since I used the program - in fact I forgot that I even had it but I "clicked" it up and started playing with the buttons.  Of course it took longer than I though but I was determined to at least have some kind of finished product that I could put on one of my pages.

Like I said its a very short, short film but I think its a good start.  There's no telling what I can do with this program once I get to know it better.  Here's the link to my little short:
