			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.nikkibackshall.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/happy-1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-720" title="Happy Business Life" src="http://www.nikkibackshall.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/happy-1-216x300.jpg" alt="" width="216" height="300" /></a>Have you noticed, within the throng of the online business life &#8211; that everyone wants to be a go-getter? We must manage our time, put systems in place, eat the right food for maximum output, use new tools, find new apps and so on and so on.</p>
<p>Whilst all of this can be good in moderation, it&#8217;s easy to lose sight of the simple things that made you and your business tick in the first place.</p>
<p>If you have started an online business, then you may have a variety of reasons for doing so &#8211; to support your family, to be your own boss, to have more say over your freedom, to escape the 9-5, to have more quality time with your children or to make your millions. Whatever the reason you had to start your business, it would likely have involved an element of passion.</p>
<p>What did you enjoy about your fledgling business when you started out? Sourcing new products, designing new things, chatting with clients, creating new services, interacting with people or learning new skills?</p>
<p>Passion is something that lies at the core of all successful businesses as the entrepreneurial spirit behind it will inevitably love what he or she does. Losing sight of your original goals and the reasons why you started your biz can have a really negative impact on your long term success, if you are no longer engaging in the tasks that you actually enjoy.</p>
<p>So next time when you are planning your day, with a regime of what you have been advised to do &#8211; make sure you take a little time to rediscover the passion you had in the first place. Spending time on this will reap rewards for you and it will suddenly all become easier and more pleasurable again.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><a href="http://www.nikkibackshall.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/surprised1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-261" title="The 'Look'" src="http://www.nikkibackshall.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/surprised1-300x199.jpg" alt="The 'Look'" width="300" height="199" /></a>Only to Get Met With That Look?</h2>
<p>I&#8217;m sure most of us &#8216;Internet Marketers&#8217; have experienced it in some way or another. It&#8217;s why we feel such a bond with our online peers, and why we often spend too much time on Social Networks. These people online &#8216;get you&#8217;, they understand the language you speak, the hopes, fears and aspirations you have and they don&#8217;t collapse into fits of laughter when you mention that you sent out a &#8216;Tweet&#8217;. (sigh).</p>
<p>I actually find it quite amusing that I mentioned Twitter over a year and a half ago (how time flies) and I got <strong>that look</strong> &#8211; the picture illustrates it well &#8211; and yet now, as Twitter becomes more mainstream with celebs jumping on the bandwagon, everyone suddenly seems to be a Twitter expert. Of course the same divide still exists on Twitter, just because some of your &#8216;real world&#8217; friends jumped on Twitter, it doesn&#8217;t mean they&#8217;ll understand more than 50% of your tweets, infact I prefer it when my friends don&#8217;t follow me on Twitter as it takes too long to explain what a PDF report is or why I would recommend someone reads a list of SEO tips, sheesh that&#8217;s a minefield &#8211; SEO to a non Internet person!</p>
<h2><strong>I Have A Gift For You</strong></h2>
<p>As I started to ponder the divide, I thought more and more about what it involves &#8211; this running a business online malarkey, and I decided to map it out. You&#8217;ll be surprised when you see what&#8217;s involved <strong>but mainly you should be proud!</strong> If you even accomplish a small portion of what I have included within this report, then you deserve a pat on the back &#8211; you really do!</p>
<p>Within this free PDF (which you can grab by clicking on the icon below) is a mind map, if you haven&#8217;t seen a mind map before, you&#8217;re in for a treat. You will need to zoom in and move your cursor around to see all of the sections as mapping the life of a Work at Home Parent is no mean feat.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll also have a handy reference for a ton of sites you will be able to use throughout your entrepreneurial adventures online, it&#8217;s packed full of golden nuggets of goodness. And not only does it contain a ton of great websites and resources, it also maps out SEO and Website Optimisation in an easy to understand and logical way.</p>
<p><strong>Use it wisely and don&#8217;t understimate the power of the info contained inside</strong>, I can&#8217;t reach every parent or home busines online, but between us we can get hold of a fair few, so <strong>share it with other work at home parents by clicking on the Re-Tweet button at the top of this post</strong> &#8211; I&#8217;m pretty sure they&#8217;ll thank you for it! And &#8211; please leave me a comment and tell me if I&#8217;ve missed any great sites that you use, because I can easily and add them and I will credit it you in the pdf for the information!</p>
<p>Wishing you every success in your online business&#8230;.</p>
