Home parties have always been a fun and profitable way for others to make money from home, while having the time of their life.

This is something you may want to share with your sales force also, because it makes an easy way for them to generate sales.

First I would like to share with you a fun home party game that has proven to be successful for me in the past, and then we will cover the perfect home party plan.

If you host dull and boring home parties, your guests are most likely to leave before the party is anywhere near completed.

Some nifty ways to spice up your home parties would be to include fun games, have guests help with the food to prevent boredom, and of course my personal favorite...providing fun treasure hunts.

By providing a treasure hunt, you eliminate boredom, and one or more of your guests will leave with a surprise treasure.

Treasure hunts are fun, simple, and most of all cheap. You can pick up surprise treasures at any dollar shop. You will also want to grab a box of cheap envelopes and paper to make your maps.

First, you will want to hide one or more treasures in secret places in your home. You can hide them under your bed (if you don't mind guests in your bedroom), behind the sofa, in a coat pocket in the hall closet, etc.

I'm sure that their are dozens of places you can hide your little treasures in your home. Only make sure that the areas are safe to walk in, and somewhere the treasures will not get broken.

Once your treasures are hid, you will want to cut your paper into 8 squares (use regular sized notebook or typing paper).

Next, write a hint on one piece of paper that hints at where one of the treasures is hid, seal it in an envelope, and hide it under a cushion somewhere. Now write a hint telling where to find the last hint you hid, seal it in an envelope and hide it as well.

Continue doing this until you have several hints hidden, with each one telling where the next hint is hid. Now to make your treasure "maps", you will want to draw a rough layout of your home, and place a big red X in the area where the first hint is located.

Make a copy of your map for each guest, and place them folded in your guest's catalogs somewhere near the back. Now grab a book of stickers (I like to use Sponge Bob stickers) and place a sticker on a random page in each catalog. This is important for the final part of the treasure hunt.

Guests won't get their maps if they don't look in their catalogs, and to prevent guests from cheating you can staple them to a page so that they won't fall out when shaken.

The first is they either jump from guide to guide taking in the knowledge but not ever taking action, and never moving forward. This was me several years ago, until I realized I actually had all this knowledge and knew in depth and often more about a subject than the actual author. It was time to start asking questions. Turns out I had all the knowledge already, but just didn?t know it. Are you in the same position? Is it time to stop reading and start acting on the knowledge that you?ve gained?

Second is the broken the vase syndrome related to being offensive or defensive; pro-active or re-active. Imagine you wake up in the morning and decide you?re going to clean the house up that day. You jump out of bed, jump in the shower have breakfast, and wash the dishes afterwards, the clean the surfaces. You?ve improved the kitchen already by cleaning the surfaces and doing the dishes right? Not so, you?ve just been reactive, and carried out required maintenance and things are now back to how they were when you first woke up. No progress, just reactive maintenance.

So you head out to the hall ready to do some dusting, and on the way out you break a vase, so you grab the vacuum, and you vacuum up all the pieces and take the broken pieces outside, and make everything nice and clean again. After putting your stuff away, you realize you cut your leg on a sharp plant outside. No matter, you head to the bathroom, clean it up and place a bandage on it, then head back downstair s. W hat have you achieved so far? Nothing at all! This is reactive maintenance also, because there?s no progress, you?re literally just maintaining. It?s important to distinguish between proactive and reactive, because quite often you can come home after a hard days work and you might be so tired and feel like you got a lot done and moved forward, when actually all you did was pull out a bit of maintenance.

It?s the same with business. If you sit down at your computer and do your maintenance, answer some mails, change the color of your site, talk to a few people about what?s been going on, have a look at a few products, there?s nothing here to move you forward. Create those products, develop those products, enhance those ideas, write those sales letters, contact those JV?s, gain knowledge and understanding and get real tired doing it and I guarantee you?ll be moving forward at such a fast pace no one will know how you?re doing it. Whilst they?re tired and say things like “Wow I?m real tired and I still haven?t got much done” now you know why, and how to avoid it. Of report maintenance is a big part of every day life and needs to be done, but learn to differentiate between the two, learn to spot them and recognize them and you?ll immediately see a difference in your speed and efficiency. Give it a go, and you won?t be disappointed.

This brings me on to the final type of person that doesn?t succeed. The maintain-er. The prettying up the website twelve times a year, the adding bundles and bundles of stuff to a membershi p site and their current market instead of creating new products and breaking into new markets and creating multiple specialized income streams. Think about that next time you go to redesign something. Are you redesigning because your tracking tells you that your redesign will make more sales, pull more leads or more resources? Or are you doing it because it doesn?t quite look as nice as you?d like. Don?t get stuck in the circle of ever improving without moving on, because you might just find yourself in the same place in a year?s time, just with a slightly prettier website. Not proactive, productive or profitable at all. I know many people who have fallen into this trap, and in fact some people still in that trap and aren?t looking like they?ll be getting out of it very soon. Avoid it at all costs and you?ll do fine, move forward, move forward quickly, and gain valuable knowledge and first hand experience along the way, somethi ng no one can put a price on because it?s just that valuable.

These aspects are more important than most will ever discover for themselves, and if you remember back to the top ten reasons for success, the above was put in there too, simply because I can?t help but push this and push this because it really is the difference between getting somewhere and not getting anywhere at all. There?s no in between. This should be your top priority, more important than that product creation, more important than making any sales, more important than resource building or any marketing method anyone can ever teach you.

MISUSED PREPOSITIONS.--A writer, in choosing the proper preposition to express his meaning, must rely chiefly on his sense of idiom, that is, his knowledge of English usage, but he may find the following notes helpful.

AMONG, BETWEEN.—“Among is the proper word when the reference is to more than two persons or things, or groups of persons or things; between, when the reference is to two only.”

AT, IN.—Before names of places to denote “where,” at is used when the place is so small as to be treated as a mere point, or when, although large, it is viewed as a mere point; in is used when it is desired to make prominent the idea “within the bounds of:” as, “He arrived at Liverpool in the morning and remained in that city two days.” Before the name of the place in which the speaker dwells, if the place is of any size, in is generally preferred to at, unless the place is so remote that it dwindles in the mental vision to a point.

BACK OF.—Back of, though frequently heard in conversation and sometimes seen in print, is not in good use.

BESIDE, BESIDES.—Beside means “by the side of;” besides is now used only in the sense of “in addition to,” “other than:” as, “Who sits beside you?” “Who besides us knows this?”

BY, WITH.—To introduce the agent of an action by is now commonly used; the material instrument or tool is usually introduced by with: as, “Duncan was murdered by Macbeth with a dagger.”

DIFFERENT FROM, DIFFERENT TO.—Different from is preferable to different to and different than.

IN, INTO.—“In implies presence inside of, or within; into implies movement to the inside of. Before a man can move in a room, he must already have moved into it.”

IN, ON.—Before names of streets, in implies some reference to surroundings; on is less definite, indicating location only.

ON TO, ONTO.—“Good use does not support either on to or onto.”

WAIT FOR, WAIT ON.—To wait for means “to await,” as, “We will wait for you at the corner.” To wait on means “to attend on,” as, “At dinner the women waited on the men.”
