Are You Worried That Your Internet Marketing Business Will Not Work And Fail?

I've got a great quote for you, probably made by a gambler:
"Do your worrying before you place your bet, NOT after the wheel starts turning."

I thought that this was a great quote. Especially for you and I as netrepreneurs! We are the brave ones that decide to venture off to the horizon in search for a lifestyle that is uncommon and do not depend on anyone else (bosses) to sign our paychecks! Unfortunately, most people who do "start" haven't really committed themselves to it!

When you decide to start on a project do you go through with it regardless of obstacles, or do you break down in frustration and quit? The problem is, most people who "decide" to building their internet business does all the worrying after they've decided - and that causes a great deal of stress in their lives and doubt in their choices.

This clouds their minds of the bad things that will happen with their decision, makes them unsure of themselves and they will usually waste their time in useless activity that doesn't contribute to their internet business.

For me I fear failure, but I'm getting MUCH better strengthening my faith! In the past, when I wanted to commit myself to an internet business, I was afraid of failing. Actually I was afraid of my friends and family's criticism IF I failed. So I gave my weak unfocused attempts to make it work. I tried to work my business ONLY after I had my TV time and fun time. Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way.

I was just giving myself an excuse, an easy escape, that if I failed I was not an incompetent person - so that nobody will criticize me. If I failed, it was because I didn't put much effort into my internet business and it wasn't totally my fault. And I can tell that lame excuse to everyone who was watching me.

I was constantly in a state of fear and worry, but then I finally had enough of going nowhere with my business and said to myself, "FORGET IT! I'm either going to do this or quit!" And that's the point in life when everything changed for me. I decided to eliminate the worry because I've already committed myself. No longer did I fear (or care about) other people's criticism

Why should I care what other people think when I know the rich possibilities of internet marketing? Besides most of the people I know are working for wages - so what do they know about opportunity?

Now I am free from most of my self doubts and worry. I am free to truly commit myself to my internet business and to my own future. As the great Yoda from Star Wars said, "Do or don't do, there is no try!"

So get all the facts and think hard before you start your internet business, but as soon as you've placed your bet with your internet business, eliminate that worrisome thought of "if this is the right thing to do," act out on faith, and embrace your internet business as part of your bright future!

Resume Layouts – The Hidden Pitfalls

Options for Resume Layouts

There are many options of available to today's job seeker. With a quick change of graphical elements such as fonts and style, the feel of a resume can change from traditional and conservative to creative and modern.

Printed Resumes

A print version of your resume refers to the version of your resume that is ready to print; either for mailing for job leads or for hand delivering to potential contacts.

This version may contain bold print, italicized text, bulleted lists and less well known fonts, however these should be used sparingly.

Whitespace

The amount of whitespace should also remain consistent throughout the resume. The use of whitespace in a resume can be critical. Too much whitespace will draw attention to a resume that may be lacking in skills and experience.

Scannable Resumes

A scannable resume contains the exact same information as print version resume layouts but is presented in a less 'fancy' manner.

A scannable resume is to be used for those situations when you wish to cut and paste your resume into online databases. There are a few guidelines that should be adhered to when creating a scannable resume, however to avoid disaster.

Fonts

Stick to safe fonts such as Ariel, Helvetica or Courier. Use a font size anywhere between 10 to 14 points and refrain from bolding, underlining or italicizing any text. Also do not use any symbols such as parenthesis, asterisks or bullets.

One Column Resume Layouts

A one column resume layout is much more traditional. This type of format would be more appropriate for use when applying for a position in a conservative job market.

Two Column Resume Layouts

A two column resume layout is more creative. This type of format would be better suited when applying for a position in an industry that is known for its creativity. It would not be appropriate for more traditional type jobs. Headings are left justified while the corresponding information is placed in the right column.

Left Aligned Resume Layouts

Left aligned resume layouts are particularly good for resumes that are short in nature. All headings and corresponding information are aligned to the left.

Centered Resume Layouts

A centered resume layout can be hard on the eye and difficult to read, however this can be minimized with skillful use of formatting and style features to clearly delineate information.

Indented Layouts

This type of resume can feel traditional, but the paragraphs can be hard on the eye; particularly for employers who simply want to 'scan' a resume. An indented resume features left-aligned text, but the paragraphs are indented.
