{EAV:8ccaa8a42c372f94}Growing up I remember Smokey the Bear, the iconic figure used by the Forestry Dept with the motto “Only you can prevent forest fires.”

The campaign was successful, the number of fires went way down. The forest grew tall without having to deal with those nasty fires.

All was well until the inevitable fire finally occurred. It burned with ferocious intensity causing much severe destruction of the forest. More fires occurred, with the same devastating effect. The foresters were stunned. What happened? Why were the fires so much more destructive?

What they learned was they had been too successful, that the forest needed the fires. The early fires were small, and cleaned out the underbrush on the forest floor. It got rid of the weak and stifling vegetation making room for new growth.

But, when the underbrush was allowed to accumulate, it built up more fuel for the fires, allowing them to burn hotter and higher. The foresters had unwittingly created a greater enemy for the very forest they were trying to save.

The lesson was that the little fires, the little adversities, that the forest experienced before made them stronger.

Man is the same way. By facing adversities, it allows him to grow and become stronger. Like with the forest, lack of adversity (fire) creates a false since of security leaving him unprepared and  incapable of handling the even greater challenges that will come.

While facing adversity is unpleasant and difficult, it is a vital element to growth. It allows you to clear out your underbrush so you can grow taller and stronger. When adversity comes, welcome it, master it. You will be all the stronger for it.

Internet marketers are about to get a new tool that will make their job easier and more effective.

Andy Jenkins just released a video ( click here to see Kajabi video ) giving an inside look at Kajabi, which will be available on October 14th.

The first look at this new program finds it quite impressive.  It takes and makes the steps necessary to launch a new product very easy. It has brought together in one place everything that the internet marketer needs.  Not only does it host the site, it makes available all the bandwith necessary, making the dreaded launch crashes a thing of the past.

Kajabi brings in the best of social media. Both in the launch process and in the delivery of the product. Jenkins and his team clearly did an outstanding job.  You should watch What is Kajabi.

Jeff Walker, Frank Kern, John Reese were some of the beta testers as they used it on their very successful launches this past year.

If you have an internet business now or are in the process of starting one, take a few minutes and view the video now. ( See video here ).

An entirely free home based business rarely comes along. Seems like there is always a catch. A launch happening today at 1pm Eastern is a rare must have opportunity, even if you are not interested in a business opportunity!  Free Opportunity

The reason is the savings you can enjoy at over 300 popular stores.  In these uncertain economic times it is not wise to pay full price.  Now you can save and shop in the comfort of your home.

Most business opportunities involve a lot of work and a substantial investment.  This one is simply telling family and friends about how to save money, and make money (if they want) all for free.

There is no risk for trying it.  It is a win/win for everyone.  The worst thing that can happen is that you will save some money on your next purchase.  The best thing is that you can make some money for having shared this extraordinary opportunity with some people.

So often today when you check out home based business opportunities you find out they are nothing more than a scam. It is not often that you see a company create a win/win for everyone involved. A new MLM offering called Blastoff is one those rare entities. They offer a legitimate free home based business opportunity.

At Blastoff they offer each member a free website This website is their entryway into the Blastoff virtual mall in which they will find over 400 stores of major retailer and service providers of cable and cell phones. The member receive a rebate of one to fifteen percent, depending on the retailer.

Now it get’s better. When you come across a good deal, you like to tell your friends about it. With Blastoff you get rewarded for doing so. You simply tell your friends to sign up on your website. They will then each get their own website and able to get the same rebates as you. Plus, you will now also earn a commission on each of your friend’s purchases. When your friends tell their friends about it and have them sign up on their free websites, both you and your friend earn  a commission on those purchases. Everyone can earn commissions on up to 10 levels.

What a great way to help friends and family. You give them a chance to save money on their purchases and a chance to earn extra money, with their own free home based business!  In these tough economic times, it is important to save money where you can and make money when you can.

2009 looks to be a bleak year for job holders, particularly for those serving consumers.  About 3 million people have already lost their jobs.  This month we have already seen 50,000 more cuts announced.  That trend is expected to continue for several months.  The prospects for finding a new job are growing very slim.

With such a bleak financial forecast for the months ahead, is now the time to even think about becoming an entrepreneur?  The answer is yes.

In these times you need to take personal charge of your future.  When you work for someone else, as millions have recently found out, you do not have a lot of say about your work prospects.

Even though your job may be at risk or may have disappeared, your most important assets have not.  Those assets are your experience, talent and intelligence.  Now it is up to you to put them to work in a new environment that you control.

In every adversity there is a seed of equal or greater benefit.  So while a door may have been shut on you, another door has been unlocked.  You just need to find out which door that is.

Take inventory, determine what your assets are, where your strengths lie and what your passions are.   Look at your network.  Who do you know?

Now put your thinking cap on and start looking at possibilities.  Do not be afraid to think out of the box, it is the time to open your mind to possibilities. Start doing research, read books, magazines, surf the web.  Look for ways to turn your passions into a business.  Look for ways to turn your dreams into reality.

A good resource that you may want to check out is my website on having a home based business.  The homebusinesscompass.com talks about how to start a business.  Things that you will need to take into consideration and many ideas on businesses that you can start.

A job loss is a traumatic experience, but you cannot go back and change the past.  Feeling sorry for yourself will not help.  Realize your best years can still be in front of you, and then become determined that you will not be denied that future.

Napoleon Hill in his classic book Think and Grow Rich said that “Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, he can achieve.”

Now, make it happen!
