The Rising Path

No April Fool’s Joke-The Economy Sucks

As we move into April, I’m taking the first turn in the subtle change of direction for The Rising Path Blog.

In this time of recession, more and more people have been faced with choices that they shouldn’t ever have to make. Choices that our grandparents had to make strengthened them and gave them the perseverance to see us through a Second World War. Many of us baby boomers still carry that same sense of resolve and determination with us today.

These tougher economic trends have forced people to re-evaluate what’s most important in their lives. Many are discovering that it’s not so much that shiny new BMW M3 that’s most important to them, but the freedom that being at home (or near it) affords them to be able to share and involve themselves in their family’s life.

The acronym SAHM is making a shift from “stay at home mom” to “stay at home millionaire”. Those SAHM’s and WAHM’s (work at home moms) were among the first to realize just how empowering owning your own business is and can be.

What started out as a hobby for a lot of these women very quickly became a source of extra income or “mad money”. With a bit of effort and some serendipitous meetings, many turned THAT into a viable business with tremendous profits and a duplicatable business plan.

Billionaires have been looking at many of the same businesses that the intrepid work-at-home entrepreneurs have. Warren Buffet was impressed enough with Pampered Chef that he purchased the company and it continues to be one of the top performers in the Direct Sales market.

What mom’s and entrepreneurs have known for a long time, Business Experts like Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki are beginning to see as a viable, profitable and essential part of helping to restore our economy; empowering individuals to own their own businesses in Network Marketing or Direct Sales.

It’s my sincere hope that as the changes take place here at The Rising Path, you will continue to be inspired by the writing and most especially the motivation and intent behind my writing. I truly and honestly want for each and every one of my readers to succeed on their chosen paths.

Keep an eye out for more helpful posts about how to successfully bring your own Network Marketing or Direct Sales business to the next level….and beyond.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE RISING PATH BLOG

Well, it’s been a full year since The Rising Path first showed its face on the internet. The new year will bring some major changes in the blog too. I’ve gotten away from my initial intent and focus for this site and will be getting back on track in short order.

What you can expect is more content that speaks to success in life and business, the laws of attraction and abundance as well as other subject matter designed to help you develop yourself into all that you were meant to be.

This last day of 2008 is a good time for reflection and introspection. It is also a time to look forward to the new year.

In retrospect (remember, hindsight is always 20/20) I can see how and where I lost focus with this blog. The crashing economy had a bit to do with it. The necessity of providing overpowered the true intent and spirit of The Rising Path. The integrity of the vision for this site must take precedence over fear and worry. I apologize to all of my readers for ever straying in the first place.

In January you will see the transformation of this site into something that resembles the original vision. There is a forum that never got off the ground, it will be active in January. It will be free for at least the first 3 months of the year, at which point we’ll look at making it a membership forum.

The focus of the forum will be the principles put forth by Napoleon Hill and Wallace Wattles and some of the other pioneers of the Law Of Attraction. It will also be a venue for aspiring Internet Marketers to learn how to apply those success principles to their own businesses.
