Money Can't Buy Happiness?
What do you think? Is it true that money can't buy happiness? I'm not so sure. I don't thing money is the actual problem as much as a person's views about money.
Personally, I like the stuff!! It took me a while to figure that out. I thought it was wrong to admit that out loud. However, I was talking to a wonderful man, Casey Eberhart, one day and he asked me something along the lines 'why are you in business? why did you start this?'. I said what I thought was the right answer. "I want to help my family, I want something for myself, I would like to be more productive with my time." Bla, bla, bla. I could somehow tell that I was not really answering Casey's questions. He was very kind and didn't say anything, but he didn't really need to, did he? So with a heavy sigh, I finally said, "Casey, I want to make money and a LOT of it!". I could feel the pressure fall off my shoulders. I could also sense Casey's feeling of satisfaction. He said something like 'good, now we can get to work' - or something like that. I don't remember.
The reason I bring this story up is because it can be difficult to say "I want nice things and I deserve them, so I'm going to put in the work to get them". I'm finally comfortable admitting that I love seeing my business explode. I love the possibilities and dreams that money can make a reality. I am eager for my future and what it means for my family. I am ready to go big or go home!
How about you? What do you want to create? Can money get you there? Let's talk!

4 Benefits to Working Your Own Business from Home:
So many people want to work form home these days, but why?
What is the motivation? What do you want to create in your life? Can having your own
business and working from home help you get there faster?
Here are just four benefits joining my company can
provide. Of course, there are many others, what would your top four dreams look like? Would you like to start working on these?
1. Spend more time with family
1. Spend more time with family
When I first got involved with my direct sales company I had
been a stay at home mom for several years. Due to some changes with my
husband’s employment it became clear that I would have to start contributing
financially to our household. I
met my mentor through a friend, heard her story, learned about the company and
I was hooked and haven’t looked back since. I still stay home with my kids but
also work from home on my terms!
2. Never have to worry about layoffs
As I mentioned above that I am a stay at home mom. This
happened accidentally after I was laid off. One Friday afternoon my boss
tearfully let me go. The following
Wednesday we found out we were expecting our first child. I bring this up only to serve as a
reminder, to others and myself, that by working for myself and owning my own
business I will not be subject to layoffs again.
3. Retire early
When you own your own business you set the pace and goals.
With enough grit and determination (and support) early retirement is a real and
tangible proposition.
4. Help you save money on taxes
Owning a home business is a wonderful way to save on taxes.
Think about it, everything becomes a deduction. A portion of your rent or
mortgage, gas and car expenses, even clothes and makeup can be written off.
(Disclaimer, I’m not a tax specialist, please talk to one for specifics.)
Are you ready to make it happen? I would love to help get you on the road to creating your
own goals and dreams. It is possible! Dream big and create bigger. I can be reached by phone: (805)
612-2340 or email: acaprinokumar@gmail.com. If you would like my website, please
contact me for more information. I look forward to working together!

Let's create!!
What do you want to create today?
Today I want to create a blog! It has been a number of years since I've sat down to write. Phew, talk about overwhelming! My life has changed so much! I became a mother almost four years ago! November 1st is a wonderful day in our lives. I now have two of the most gorgeous and wonderful children! (I know, I know, we all say that! But it's true, for all of us!)
I recently started my own business and I thought it would be good to journal about this venture. I would love to track my progress, not just for myself but for other people that are starting out too. What a great opportunity to help each other. So here goes!
I think one of the most important thing we can do is to set goals, personal, professional and financial. Anyone that knows me knows that I don't like to talk about money, it feels to personal. But I'm going to try to break that cycle. I've been doing a lot of trainings through our company. Over and over they say, dream big and write it down. Make yourself accountable! So I'm going to do it! I'm stating my goals!
GOALS!!!
Short term:
