The Making of A Great Man of God

By Adenuga Sunday Joseph

Great men of God are born so, but the majority of them became so because they were willing to pass through certain stages of training and development. Nobody can attain to greatness in the things of God without great discipline and purposeful persistence to the calling.

Presently, there are men and women who are actually known to be great movers and shakers of the things of God in this end time.

David Oyedepo was one man who started as small as any other man on planet earth, his rise to wealth, power and honor was not as a result of any inherited wealth, or winning any big lottery. He came to wealth and affluence through share hard work and determination with a faith that sees no failure or accept any defeat. This implies that anyone, including you can so rise if you do the same things these great men have done or are doing.

Kenneth Copeland was another man I admire from a distance, I have not been opportuned to meet him or see him on one on one

The Blarney Stone is a historical stone, or actually part of the Blarney Castle in Ireland where it was believed that kissing the stone can grant you the gift of gab. Yeah, it seems strange in this day and age, but who are we to question tradition? It's not like I'm saying that Santa Claus doesn't exist (OOPS!).

There is so much to know about conversation that anyone, even I, could ever realize. You can go though watching talk shows; radio programs; clubs dedicated to public speaking; ordinary conversations; certain rules still apply when it comes to interaction through words. It may sound tedious, I know, but even though it's your mouth that's doing the work, your brain works twice as hard to churn out a lot of things you know. So what better way to start learning to be an effective communicator is to know the very person closest to you: yourself.

1. What you know.
Education is all about learning the basics, but to be an effective speaker is to practice what you've learned. My stint as guest at every Toastmasters' meeting I go to taught me that we all have our limitations, but that doesn't mean we can't learn to keep up and share what we know.

2. Listening.
It's just as important as asking questions. Sometimes listening to the sound of our own voice can teach us to be a little bit confident with ourselves and to say the things we believe in with conviction.

3. Humility
We all make mistakes, and sometimes we tend to slur our words, stutter, and probably mispronounce certain words even though we know what it means, but rarely use it only to impress listeners. So in a group, don't be afraid to ask if you're saying the right word properly and if they're unsure about it then make a joke out of it. I promise you it'll make everyone laugh and you can get away with it as well.

4. Eye Contact
There's a lot to say when it comes to directing your attention to your audience with an eye-catching gaze. It's important that you keep your focus when talking to a large group in a meeting or a gathering, even though he or she may be gorgeous.

5. Kidding around
A little bit of humor can do wonders to lift the tension, or worse boredom when making your speech. That way, you'll get the attention of the majority of the crowd and they'll feel that you're just as approachable, and as human to those who listen.

6. Be like the rest of them
Interaction is all about mingling with other people. You'll get a lot of ideas, as well as knowing what people make them as they are.

7. Me, Myself, and I
Admit it, there are times you sing to yourself in the shower. I know I do! Listening to the sound of your own voice while you practice your speech in front of a mirror can help correct the stress areas of your pitch. And while you're at it you can spruce up as well.

8. With a smile
A smile says it all much like eye contact. There's no point on grimacing or frowning in a meeting or a gathering, unless it's a wake. You can better express what you're saying when you smile.

9. A Role Model
There must be at least one or two people in your life you have listened to when they're at a public gathering or maybe at church. Sure they read their lines, but taking a mental note of how they emphasize what they say can help you once you take center stage.

10. Preparation
Make the best out of preparation rather than just scribbling notes and often in a hurried panic. Some people like to write things down on index cards, while other resort to being a little more silly as they look at their notes written on the palm of their hand (not for clammy hands, please). Just be comfortable with what you know since you enjoy your work.

And that about wraps it up. These suggestions are rather amateurish in edgewise, but I've learned to empower myself when it comes to public or private speaking and it never hurts to be with people to listen how they make conversations and meetings far more enjoyable as well as educational.

Personal Questions for Self Improvement

money danceImage by Life As Art via Flickr

By Adenuga Sunday Joseph

Be all you can be, but it's not always in the Army. I often see myself as somewhat contented with my life the way things are, but of course it's hard to think of anything else when where are real issues to be discussed.

Still I aspire for something deeper and more meaningful.

So we're all pelted with problems. Honestly it shouldn't even bother or even hinder us to becoming all we ought to be. Aspirations as kids should continue to live within us, even though it would be short-lived or as long as we could hold on to the dream. They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks… or can they?

1. What do I really want?
The question of the ages. So many things you want to do with your life and so little time to even go about during the day.

Find something that you are good at can help realize that small step towards improvement. Diligence is the key to know that it is worth it.

2. Should I really change?
Today's generation has taken another level of redefining 'self', or at least that's what the kids are saying. Having an army of teenage nieces and nephews has taught me that there are far worse things that they could have had than acne or maybe even promiscuity. So how does that fit into your lifestyle?

If history has taught us one thing, it's the life that we have gone through. Try to see if partying Seventies style wouldn't appeal to the younger generation, but dancing is part of partying. Watch them applaud after showing them how to really dance than break their bones in break-dancing.

3. What's the bright side in all of this?
With so much that is happening around us there seem to be no room for even considering that light at the end of the tunnel. We can still see it as something positive without undergoing so much scrutiny. And if it's a train at the end of the tunnel, take it for a ride and see what makes the world go round!

4. Am I comfortable with what I'm doing?
There's always the easy way and the right way when it comes to deciding what goes with which shoes, or purse, shirt and whatnot. It doesn't take a genius to see yourself as someone unique, or else we'll all be equally the same in everything we do. Variety brings in very interesting and exciting questions to be experimented. If you are comfortable with what you are doing and it is a good thing, then no matter what anybody thinks or says does not really matter. You are the most important person as far as you own personal decision is concerned.

5. Have I done enough for myself?
Have you, or is there something more you want to do? Discontentment in every aspect can be dangerous in large doses, but in small amounts you'll be able to see and do stuff you could never imagine doing. You are the most important factor as far as your own world is concerned, give yourself the best, food, clothing, shelter that you possibly can afford. Work harder and smarter to give yourself better things of life, there is a proverb in my country that says, "What the bird eats, it will fly with"

6. Am I happy at where I am today?
It's an unfair question so let it be an answer! You love being a good and loving mom or dad to your kids, then take it up a notch! Your kids will love you forever. The same goes with everyday life! If you are not happy with where you are do something now to change it to what you want.

7. Am I appealing to the opposite sex?
So maybe I don't have an answer to that, but that doesn't mean I can't try it, though. Whether you shape-up, change the way you wear your clothes or hair, or even your attitude towards people, you should always remember it will always be for your own benefit.

8. How much could I have?
I suppose in this case there is no such things as having things too much or too little, but it's more on how badly you really need it. I'd like to have lots of money, no denying that, but the question is that how much are you willing to work for it? The truth is that you can have as much as you ever desire, but there is always a responsibility attached, be willing to invest, work harder and smarter, and you will have as much as you ever wanted to have in life.

9. What motivates me?
What motivates you? It's an answer you have to find out for yourself. There are so many things that can make everyone happy, but to choose one of the many things that do may be the hardest part. It's not like you can't have one serving of your favorite food in a buffet and that's it. Just try it piece by piece. Success and wealth comes doing what you like, because you will be happy doing it. the more you do it the more of it you will know, and the more skillful you will become. This will always take you to the level of expertise and acceptance in the real world and that is the signal of real success.

10. What Really Makes You Tick?
So? What really makes you tick? You can be just about anything you always wanted to be, but to realize that attaining something that may seem very difficult is already giving up before you even start that journey. Always remember, that self-improvement is not just about the physical or philosophical change you have to undergo, but it's something that you really want.

New Forms of Income Opportunities from the Internet

Ethical Issues in Affiliate Marketing at Affil...Image by affiliatesummit via Flickr

By Adenuga Sunday Joseph

As part of my intention to make this blog an inspirational and informative one that can help anybody to make a success of their lives, I have decided to make posts that will inspire you to make money through new forms of income opportunities on the internet.

What can the new forms of income opportunities from the internet promise entrepreneurs? More and more traditional entrepreneurs are now looking into the various income opportunities online. The online business community is gaining popularity all over the world because of the passive or residual income it promises.

Working from eight to five in the afternoon, five days a week can be very tiring and boring for many professionals and they are no longer satisfied with their salaries. With the new online business opportunities, you can earn residual income too. What is residual income? Well, basically it is the income generated by online business persons without working continuously.

Thanks to the internet’s power, the income opportunities are now enhanced. How can you start earning residual income? Firstly, you have to know as much information as possible about income businesses.
Gather information about affiliate marketing, internet marketing, network marketing, MLM, and many others. Once you’re familiar with these things, you can now choose which path to take. Always keep in mind that
you should engage in something that you’re passionate about because that’s the only way to succeed in an online business. You can choose to be involved in hosting companies, auto responder services, private clubs, membership sites, etc,; or you can simply create your own business by offering software programs, eBooks, email newsletters, and any other
service/product that can be subscribed.

Network marketing is also popular these days. Through this type of business, you will simply have to recruit and sell, most often through emails. This is a great opportunity and you don’t have to meet your downlines or customers because they can come from different parts of the world. You will only communicate with them online. However, you should be aware that there are also scams or illegal businesses on the internet. By doing an in-depth search, you can stay away from scammers and do business with only the reputable and experienced ones. When the business is experiencing success, you will soon notice that residual income is starting to roll in.

You can also try affiliate programs to earn passive or residual income. In this particular business opportunity, you don’t have to think of a new product or service because the affiliate company will provide it to you. You will simply have to market their products/service through your own affiliate site and you will receive commissions for it. The harder you work, the more income you can expect. You must know more about SEO and keyword search so that you can effectively promote your affiliate site. Keep the site updated at all times to avoid loosing customers.

Internet business opportunities let you earn money in a smart way. You have to use your brains and remain positive at all times. You must know the various principles followed in order to earn residual income. If you can understand them, you will know how to implement them for your success. The future promises more online business opportunities, you just have to search for them.

New forms of income from the internet can help you earn the income that you deserve. If you don’t have a job right now, why don’t you consider being involved in an online home business? It doesn’t require huge money and you simply have to use the internet and your mind in order to generate income.

Your Hidden Talent: Another Way to Make Money

By Adenuga Sunday Joseph


Many people are discovering that various income
opportunities can be found on the internet. Everyday,
new forms of income from the web are introduced.
People who don’t have a career or a job can now earn
the income that they want as long as they have a
computer or laptop and a fast internet connection.

Your income business opportunity online will greatly
depend on your character or attitude and of course,
your hidden talent. You can use your hidden talent to
come up with unique and new business opportunity
online.

If you seek residual income, you have to possess the
right attitude. You simply have to uncover your hidden
talent but how can you do that? You have to consider
these factors before you can identify your hidden
talent:

1. State of mind. Your attitude as mentioned earlier
really counts. You should have a positive state of
mind so that you can generate positive actions.

2. As long as you remain positive in every aspect,
your aspirations will continue to soar and you can get
rid of all negatives.

3. Through your creative mind, you can earn residual
income.

4. You must be an innovator; don’t follow what others
are already indulging. You must learn to ‘think out
the box’ because that is the only way to financial
success.

5. Don’t be contented by just dreaming; remember that
if you act now, your dreams can be achieved and you
can make money.

A positive thinker will believe that his or her
intelligence is enough to follow a certain program.
Don’t think negatively because if you do, you will not
achieve anything. If other people can succeed in an
online business, then so can you; soon, you can delve
into business opportunities that can bring in money.
Your imagination will now start running and that is
excellent because you will start asking questions.
Those individuals who ask and think are potential
winners.

With so many income opportunities online, you will
find it hard to choose one but for starters, you must
join a tutorial site so that you can learn about the
various tools that you can use as you conduct your
online business. You can learn about them without any
expense and since you’re just a beginner, you will
need all the help that you can get. Don’t spend money
as soon as you decide to enter in the internet
business.

As you go through the tutorials, you will learn so
many things until you finally uncover your hidden
talent. Once you do that, you can now look for a
business opportunity where you can put your hidden
talent at work. The online business you choose to run
should be something that you’re really interested at
and one that you can exert your best efforts. By using
the tools you’ve learned in the tutorial, you can
ensure your business’ success.

New forms of income from the internet are surfacing
and perhaps your business idea is one of them. Think
positive and apply everything you’ve learned in the
tutorial sites. If you want, you can also ask help
from fellow online entrepreneurs through the forums.
Participate in the forums and you can also share your
experiences as a beginner in the online business. Good
luck and determine your hidden talent as soon as
possible.

Getting over Anxiety Depression

"L" Is For LoserImage by drp via Flickr

By Adenuga Sunday Joseph

A lot of people who are exerting too much of their brain power usually exhaust not only their physical strength when engaging in various multi-tasking activities, they also tend to over extend their brains up to the point when it plainly needs some good old time for relaxation. A lot of busy people who seem to cannot fathom the idea of relaxing and taking time off their work, as well as their worries, tend to actually start having nervous breakdowns, anxiety depression and all sorts of mental illnesses that can cause a person's sanity to go haywire, fortunately, if you're one of those poor unfortunate ones who are unable to distress and is constantly worried and fussing over things, there are actually available cures and various treatments for treating anxiety depression.

Anxiety depression is actually characterized by all sorts of irregularities and erratic behavior from the person who is suffering from it, this is usuallu due to certain stress triggers that may tend to easily cause a person undue jitters and stress. Also, a lot of people who tend to get easily nervous over stressful activities are actually prone to having anxiety depression, its just a matter of being strong-willed when it comes to facing difficult and stress-prone activities. It may be pretty hard to overcome at first, but trying to be calm and cool in times of extreme pressure is what'll actually save your mental health from going totally downward spiral.

When it comes to effectively curing one's self from a mental illness, one must keep in mind that you have to be actually honest with yourself and assess what kind of depression or mental illness you actually have, go to reputable psychiatrist to get yourself diagnosed correctly as well as be able to get the right depression treatment for yourself. Here are the various types of depression:

Manic or Bipolar depression - characterized by sudden and extreme changes in one's mood wherein one minute he or she is in an elevated state of euphoria while the
next minute (day or week) he or she is feeling to be in a personal hell.

Postpartum depression - characterized by a prolonged sadness and a feeling of emptiness by a new mother wherein physical stress during child birth, an uncertain sense of responsibility towards the new born baby can be just some of the possible factors why some new mother go through this.

Dysthimia - characterized by a slight similarity with depression, although this time, it's been proven to be a lot less severe, but of course with any case, should be treated immediately.

Cyclothemia - characterized by a slight similarity with Manic or Bipolar depression wherein the individual suffering from this mental illness may occasionally suffer from severe changes in one's moods.

Seasonal Affective Disorder - characterized by falling in a rut only during specific seasons (i.e. Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall) studies however, prove that more people
actually fall in to a rut more during the Winter and Fall seasons and lastly, Mood swings, wherein a person's mood may shift from happy to sad to angry in just a short time.

But the type of depression that has actually been proven to be quite common among people is anxiety depression, which is actually characterized by the state of being overly anxious about things. Anxiety, a supposedly normal behavior that'll actually help a person adjust more to a certain stressful activity like first date jitters or a grueling exam the following day. Anxiety actually helps you get psyched up towards facing certain "difficult situations"; anxiety therefore is actually a good thing. Anxiety depression however, is simply the opposite, not to be easily dismissed as a "case of the nerves"; Anxiety depression is in actuality an illness that can be caused from the biological makeup of an individual, or in other words, a hereditary illness.

Also, there are actually various types of Anxiety depression, each having its own unique characteristics. Take for example Generalized Anxiety Disorder or GAD, this kind of Anxiety depression is a lot more complicated than the average Anxiety depression, in spite of possibly being a day-to-day habit for those who suffer this kind of Anxiety depression, Generalized Anxiety Disorder actually makes the individual quite more paranoid than usual, anxiety attacks are more frequent, even absurd at times. They can even be anxious even when there's no apparent reason that calls for them to behave in such a way. People suffering from Generalized Anxiety Disorder actually shows a lot of symptoms, from lack of sleep, to being unable to relax, getting tired easily, cannot concentrate on what they're doing and even suffering from depression. This kind of Anxiety depression is still curable; just a little work will actually do the trick.

Consult a reputable cognitive behavior therapist who'll help give the individual the therapy that he or she needs to help him or her loosen up, also prescribed medicines are sort of a must to help these individuals battle anxiety attacks, help them calm down and relax.

Personal Health Care Quotes

By Adenuga Sunday Joseph

The cost of medical products is continuously rising
and not everyone can afford to purchase such products
even if needed badly. Is there still a miracle that
the ordinary people can hold on to in order to afford
these medical products? Well, here’s good news for
you. Try to get personal health care quotes to get the
appropriate insurance.

There are lots of insurance plans exclusively for
personal health care. Many individuals can’t take
advantage of health benefits because their employer
didn’t provide it or because they are self-employed.
In order to be insured, they should personally
purchase an insurance plan for personal health care.
Before you make an insurance policy purchase, you
should be equipped with the right knowledge.

The premiums are affected by several things and it
will determine the cost of your policy. You have to
check the deductibles so that at least you can make a
rough estimate of the cost of the policy. The lower
the deductible, the higher the premium; a high
deductible will also mean a lower premium. If you want
to pay lower premiums, you can also have copayments.
What is a copayment? It is the fee being paid to the
hospital or doctors with every visit of the patient.

So where can you get the personal health care quotes?
The best way to obtain these insurance quotes is
online. Find a website that provides various insurance
quotes. If you can find a good website that provides
insurance quotes, you can compare up to five insurance
providers. You must know that there are different
types of insurance policies. For your medical products
and expenses, you will need to get a personal health
care policy. There are several reputable insurance
companies that can provide you with a reasonably
priced policy.

You have to choose a reputable insurance provider so
that you will not be dismayed when you’re already
filing for a claim. Comparison of the insurance
companies is a very important task. The quotes can
help you decide. You can also look into the basic
policies of each insurance provider. After careful
consideration of the various factors involved in
choosing an insurance provider, you can now decide the
best insurance provider for you. Visit the official
site of the insurance provider and gather all the
important details about obtaining a policy on personal
health care.

When you’re already checking the policy, make sure
that you read everything including those in fine
print. That way, you will not be surprised if
something turns out in the future. You will know which
are covered and which are not; this is very important
especially when filing a claim.

There are several sites that can cater to your needs.
If you want, you can check out various sites and
compare as many insurance providers as you can. That
way, you have many choices. You can also ask your
fellow workers or officemates and even your friends if
they know of a good insurance provider on personal
health care. Gather as much information as you can and
don’t rush things. A rushed decision will do you no
good because you might end up paying very high
premiums and yet you’re not satisfied with the
coverage. Knowledge about personal health care
insurance is very important when making a purchase of
a policy. Be informed and make a wise decision.

Make Money in 3 hours

LOS BANOS, CA - APRIL 17:  California Gov. Arn...Image by Getty Images via Daylife

Posted By Adenuga Sunday Joseph

welcome to 3HourProfits.com - Where we will show you how you can make more money in a week online using step by step methods, than most people make in a month at their regular jobs. Our program goes to work within 3 hours which means you're able to Start Making Real Money Today!

Our Concept Is Simple: Deliver What We Promise!

Chances are you're just like I was a few years ago, trying to find success online only to end up losing almost every single time.

I know what it's like to want something more, because I've been there. And I know what it's like to try almost anything online just for the chance to get ahead in life.

I want you to realize that I am just a normal everyday person like you, I am no different in anyway. Just 3 years ago I was putting in about 40 to 60 hours a week working full time and barely made enough to keep my head above water. Being married with 3 children, I was always behind on bills and I was only averaging about $2,800 a month before taxes.

There were nights I couldn't even sleep - I would try to, but I would constantly have these tension headaches right above my eyebrows that would never stop. I would lie there awake thinking that there had to be more to life than this.

Like you, I would search the internet night and day for answers - and I would try program after program while hoping to find something that actually worked. You know - a program that actually delivered what it promises.

I struggled for over a year and literally lost thousands of dollars which didn't help my situation. I had felt like I failed my wife and my children, and felt completely lost.

During the next six months of that period, I started to just give up. I thought this was it, this was going to be the way I lived for the rest of my life. Then something happened one night - It was about 2:00am and I was sitting at the kitchen table in complete darkness just thinking.

Something came to me. I finally realized that there were just a few very important things that are needed to be successful online. Things that almost every program I have ever tried never pointed out in detail. Things that would end up changing my life.

I immediately grabbed a notepad, turned on the light and started writing things down. For three weeks I did research, took notes and tested things out. Needless to say, the results were a staggering difference to my past failures.

In my three weeks of testing I had made a total of $3,700 online!

Here's What amazed me the most - I was still working full time at my job so I was only able to test these methods out by working just a couple hours a day. That was it - just a couple hours a day, and I still produced a larger income than my full time job was paying.

Over the next few months I tested more and more, and achieved even greater results. It was like a blindfold was lifted from my eyes, a blindfold that many of the programs out their keep tied very tight.

Over the last two years I have used these methods, and not one single time have they ever failed me. I decided to call it 3 Hour Profits, because that is literally how fast these techniques are able to produce a real online income.

They are bullet proof concepts that will work every single time, and they only take two to three hours a day to put in place. The best part is they work immediately and you are able to use them no matter what schedule you have to work around.

So what does that mean for you?

That means you're making a real income starting right now with our program.

Inside of 20 minutes our program will have you completely set up and within 3 hours it will have you starting to make a real income from home.

Can one spouse prevent a divorce from happening?

30.15 million viewers watched Den Watts serve ...Image via Wikipedia

By Adenuga Sunday Joseph

If one person does not want to get a divorce, but one party in the relationship does and it is a no fault divorce, then the spouse cannot stop the divorce. This is called an irreconcilable difference and is a justification for divorce.

A spouse can prevent a fault divorce by convincing the court that he or she is not at fault. This is something that they would have to prove and it is up to the judge to decide. There are other additional ways to defend a divorce from happening may also be a choice for some situations.

If a person who condones that a spouse is having an affair files for a divorce, the spouse may contest the fault divorce by arguing that the spouse knew of the affair and condoned the action. This is one way for a person to defend himself or herself in court.

Connivance is the setting up of a situation so that the other person commits something to jeopardize the marriage. One type of situation to explain is if a women sets up her husband in situation where he is alone with his mistress. This is known as a set up and it is an argument that one can make in court to defend their actions.

Provocation is the inciting of a spouse to do a certain act. If a spouse is suing for divorce and claims that the other spouse abandoned them, the other spouse might defend their suit because they were provoked by the abandonment. Collusion is if a couple lives in a state where no fault divorce requires that the couple separate for a time and the couple doe not want to prolong the situation. This may lead the couple to mislead the court and pretend that one of them was at fault just to get out of the marriage.

These above defenses are not usually used for a few different reasons. Proving a defense may require witnesses and involve a lot of time and expense. Your efforts will usually bring nothing to the situation. Chances are that a court will eventually grant the divorce. A person should not have to stay married if they do not wish too. The law is designed to give people the opportunity to get out of the marriage if that is what he or she really wants to do. If you are involved in a marriage that you don't want to be in any longer, the process can be hard to get through, but you can make a divorce really happen, and put an end to the marriage.

Sex & Diabetes

Sex & Diabetes: Not Wanting It
David Spero, RN and Aisha Kassahoun
Jul 10, 2009

Dear Aisha and David: I am a 66-year-old woman who has had diabetes for over 64 years. My husband is 52. He wants sex two or more times day. I hate it. I have no sexual drive, and most of the time it is painful. It was not always like this, but he has always wanted more sex than any man I know! We talk about things, but he basically ignores a lot of what I say when it comes to sex. He is actually a very caring person and has put up with a lot considering all the complications I have after 64 years of diabetes. We have been together for 18 years (married for nine). He waits on me hand and foot. I have to tell him to let me do things myself!

I am blind from the diabetes, in stage 4 renal failure. I recently had a mild myocardial infarction. A month ago, I had to have an exploratory surgery for rectal bleeding. I do a lot of walking and other exercise, and my A1c is usually under 6%, thanks to an insulin pump.

Any suggestions?

Not Wanting Sex

Dear NWS,

Our first thought was that your husband is breaking some kind of record for insensitivity. Even without renal failure and heart attacks, nobody should have to engage in sexual behavior that is painful and unwanted just to make someone else happy. That view of women's role has been over for 40 years! Your husband has a right to get his needs met, but there are other ways that might work for both of you.

On second thought, though, we feel for both of you. Your husband is probably very scared and sad about what is happening to you. (The phrase "freaked out" comes to mind.) He may be trying to treat his anxiety with sex. He may also be using sex as a form of denial. "You can't be that sick if I can still do this to you."

You both have a tremendous amount of pain to deal with around your complications. We know, because David's MS complications cause similar problems for us. You need to talk about your feelings honestly.

Remember, words can never hurt you if they're said with love. But NOT saying what you feel CAN hurt you and damage your relationship. You two have a lot to communicate about, and you might consider professional help. Most therapists don't deal well with chronic illness OR sex, however, so finding good help might be challenging.

You told us how well you are self-managing, and it's remarkable. You should be proud of what you have accomplished. Could it be, though, that you are not showing your own pain and fear, so much so that your husband has to be afraid for both of you?

There are things you can do to maintain intimacy and meet your husband's needs. Could you say, "Look, I'm not [having intercourse] with you. That's not going to happen. But I can do some hot things to you with my hands (or mouth, or toys), and a lot of kissing and stroking."

Are you interested in that? Because you might be able to have a sex life that works for both of you that way. If even non-intercourse sex seems too much, could you just hold him or talk sexy to him while he masturbates? There are a lot of other possibilities we could share with you if kinky things don't bother you.

I know we'll get angry comments about this next suggestion, but when one partner can't be sexual, some couples stay together and thrive by allowing the sexual partner to get needs met in other ways. We're not talking about sneaking around to have an affair. But we know many couples who have broadened their relationship to include a sex partner, paid or unpaid. It takes a lot of communication and love to make this work, and there are risks. But it can be done, and it can be healing to your marriage.

So our firm advice is that your husband does have a right to have his needs met, but not at your expense. Be creative, but stand firm on the no intercourse rule unless you are really ready for it.

Please let us know how it goes. You might want to share this letter with him-it might be a start for communication.

Many individuals nowadays prefer to have a home-based job rather than working eight hours each day in the office. Some people are also into franchising; this may sound good but if you want to become a successful entrepreneur, you don’t have to focus entirely on franchising. You should consider other business ideas that you can venture into.

Research can be carried out with ease these days, thanks to the power of the internet. If you conduct your search online, you can find other business ideas that you can use as an entrepreneur. Beginners will benefit a lot from the information they can find online about business ideas.

Because of the many business ideas you can find online, you will often find it hard to choose the ones you like. It’s easy to choose if you use your instincts. For instance, if one business idea feels right, take note of it but if you have second thoughts about another idea, disregard it.

As an entrepreneur, you should investigate further by gathering as much information as possible about the business ideas. True enough, franchise is absolutely a great idea. By choosing this business alternative, you can be the boss of your own business and you can earn unlimited income.

Not all individuals who desire to own a business can achieve this goal. You see, being an entrepreneur is hard. There are a lot of factors to consider before you decide to become an entrepreneur. Even if you have the capital to finance the business undertaking, you can’t be sure that it can give you high profits in the future especially if you don’t know how to handle certain business situations.

First and foremost, you must be able to work alone. Once you’re an entrepreneur, you’re already self-employed. It would also be best if you can have the support of your loved ones.

Here is a very good example. As mentioned earlier, further investigation is needed to evaluate the business ideas that you have in your hands. Starting a business from scratch requires a lot of work. Suppose the business that you’re about to put up is also available in franchise, which business idea will you choose?

For the smart entrepreneurs, they will already go for franchising because it requires less work. An established business undertaking is less expensive and less risky. But before you make a final decision, you must be able to weigh all the advantages as well as disadvantages. This is an essential part of choosing the best business idea.

Once you’ve chosen the right business idea, you can spring it into action. Soon enough, you will gain the financial benefits that you’re dreaming of. Whether you choose to start your own business or go for franchising, the most important thing is to develop goodwill. All the actions of the entrepreneur must be focused in attaining all the objectives of the business.

If you want to become an entrepreneur, you must research all the business ideas that you can get online. The internet can help you a lot. Also, don’t forget to develop the needed traits and skills as an entrepreneur.

You can get many resources through the internet or you can talk to an established entrepreneur so that you will have an idea on what you’re about to undertake.
