I recently found a pastor offering a work at home option with no selling.
It is making cross necklaces. He buys them back from you. I just got my kit
and am impressed. See more about it at
 I even talked to Pastor
John by phone. I also found a group of 160 others all working the program and getting paid. What an awesome program this is. It would be great for those who need to work at home, need to raise funds for missions or adoption, etc. Make $500 a week.

Potty Training 101
By Kay Green, www.MyPreciousKid.com   
Copyright 2003

I have had the wonderful privilege of potty training 4 children. The first in 1983 and the last one in February of 2002! All were completed by their 2nd birthday, even my son. So I often have people ask what my secret is.

First secret is get and read the book "Toilet Training in less than a day". We use the system over the course of a week with good success. You must get the wetting doll and have the child train the doll to succeed.

Second is wait until YOU are ready to do it and stay with it. Never start and stop!!! You must be ready to stay with it until complete.

Third is to be sure you child can follow simple instructions: come, go, pick this up, put that down. From 18-22 months I work on this. Preparing them for following instructions and practicing taking their pants up and down.

Fourth is I start BEFORE their 2nd birthday, before the major struggles of the will occur. 20-23 months works best!

Fifth I put them into CLOTH training pants with plastic pants over the top and never go back to diapers or paper pull-ups. I deal with every accident immediately, calmly, firmly. Going back to diapers will set you back. Keep them in cloth panties until they get it. Some kids can do it in a day or so, some a couple weeks.

This system has not failed me yet. The book will tell you that any child not trained by age 3 (unless a physical medical problem) is a will issue not a skill issue. I have found that to be true. We use the Wipe Off Potty Chart at http://www.mypreciouskid.com/products.html  for a reward system.

THE CHALLENGE OF GODLY PARENTING
Being The Right Influence At The Right Time
© Lee Wise All rights reserved

Knowing when to encourage
and when to exhort,

When to release
and when to restrict,

When to correct
and when to assist,

When to give hope
and when to warn,

And most of all...

Knowing never to stop loving,
being a friend and praying --
as if their lives depended on it.

Because... they do.

Yours for many hope-filled days in Jesus,

Lee
(John 15:16)

Choosing a Business
by Kay Green, MyPreciousKid.com
Copyright 2003

When choosing a direct sales company to join ask your self:

Can I afford the start up kit fee?
Can I see myself using these products every month a year from now?
Can I see my self still telling others about them every month a year from now?
What product or service are they selling? (there must be one or the other)
Can I afford the ongoing cost of the business? (web hosting, inventory, prints, postage, ads)
What is the companies reputation? Can I be proud of that?
Is there a monthly minimum cost/fee? Can I afford it? What do I get for it?
Is there training available? Offline, online, or in person?
Am I willing to spend time every day 5 days a week to make this business work?
Am I willing to take the time to build business relationships and obtain customers?
Am I willing to make follow up customer service and sales calls for this company?
Am I willing to take the time to do events/parties/classes/fairs for this business?
Do I have the cash flow to get me through the first year?
Am I prepared to give it a full year trial not just a month or two?
Can I be passionate about telling others about this business?

If you can answer yes to all of these questions then it is probably the business for you? If you answered no to any of these questions to you need to do further research. Having a home business is a great way to bring added income into your family and to be able to write off expenses and save on taxes. Home business however is a commitment and takes time and money to get started. Can you give it both to succeed?

If you are using Independent Contractors you MUST have this book
