Let's get into that one. Because a statement like "Know Yourself" isn't enough. That statement has a very important meaning.

There are many different kind of people. You can see it in little kids. Being a kid. That's where it all starts. There you're formed.

There are kids who are leaders. They tell other kids what to do and other do what they say. No questions asked.

Maybe a kid doesn't do what leader tells him to do. The leader knows what he must do. He acts and he acts in a very through way.

Next time when he tells other kid to do something other kid will do it right away. The other kid knows that there is no way out.

Those are leaders. But then you have followers. Those are kids that do what leader tells them to do.

The followers have no say. Sure. They can tell other kids to do something. But nobody does what he tells them to do.

All a follower can do is follow orders. No matter how good he is. No matter how much he knows. He can only follow orders.

So we've got leaders and we've got followers. But then there's a third category. Those are kids that are always teased.

Everybody teases that kid. It is as if they have a big sign on their head saying "Tease me". These kid are teased or laughed at.

That's for kids. And then kids grow up. Do they change? No. The kids stay same. The personalities of kids do not change.

When kids are grown up you still have leaders, followers, and those that are teased all time. There is no change.

They start working. The leaders become boss in no time. The best followers can do is become second in command. They still report to leader.

And kids that were teased all time. They grow up, they start working, and teasing goes on. Now teasing hurts them in their career.

A leader or a follower always want to show off. They want to show people how tough they are. Acting on people being teased all time is easy.

Now. What kind of person are you? Are you a leader? Are you a follower? Or are you person that's always been teased?

And how does that effect you if you want to start a business? Must you consider your personality for starting a business?

Overhead is any fixed cost that accrues whether you make a dime or not. They include; rent, employees, utilities, phone access, etc. Starting a business can be costly if it requires developing a new office space. A home-based business makes most of existing resources. The lower fixed costs, greater odds a new business will be able to weather storm from start-up to profitability.

After much searching, I chose The Success Website as an additional income stream: http://www.thesuccesswebsite.com/2542 It is a great opportunity at just $19.95 per month. It requires NO additional overhead and I am entitled tax write-offs on my computer, Internet access, phone line, in-home office space, utilities, lunches where I talk about opportunity and more. In tax savings alone it pays for itself without making even a dime. (*Consult your tax advisor for your specific situation).

2. Leverage

Leverage is difference between rich and poor. The rich effectively leverage their time, money and resources. The poor do not. The rich leverage time by having others do tasks at less than what they have potential to earn during same time period. The poor spend their time working for profit of others. And, rich leverage their money by controlling a cash flow generating resource – assets - with as little of their own money as possible.

Working on your business and in your business are not same. As Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki says, if you can walk away for a year and it doesn’t miss a beat you have a business. If not, you’re self-employed – you have a job. You are not utilizing power of leverage. (I highly recommend Kiyosaki’s books if you have not read them.
