  • Politics Is Like Hiring A Hitman
    by Scott Woods inPolitical on2020-08-13

    For me, politics is like hiring a hitman. I have values and things I care about. I care enough about them to at least bother voting for 5 minutes every year for one issue or another. And because I care at least that much, I vote for people who align with the ability to realize the things I care about.

    by Roger Madison Jr. inPolitical on2020-07-24

    I believe our vote is the punctuation of our voice. Without that resounding exclamation mark, I believe our voices are just incoherent noise.

  • Fighting Racism
    by Scott Woods inOur Community on2018-10-25

    I had a boss who was racist. Not an outright bigot, of course; her toolbox was more subtle than most. We bumped heads a lot over inconsequential things. She frequently couldn’t keep my name out her mouth. Lot of gaslighting. You know…2018 style. I tried a lot of ways to combat or navigate her issues. None of them worked, and that’s saying a lot because I’m really good at fighting racism. But at the end of the day – every day – she was my boss, I had to deal with her, and that was that.

Look Under Every Stone

Often in the course of Doing Business From Home, I have encountered what seems like needless and insurmountable problems, mostly because I am in the process of doing a project and too focused to be torn away to do research (so I think). Then I become angry and accuse myself of not being fully prepared prior to starting. I throw a hissy fit and kick my imaginary dog and guess what? I am not in control and certainly Not Doing Business From Home, at the moment; and time is being wasted. This negative behavior has changed however because of some significant modifications to how I now operate, which I learned via my affiliation with the wonderful people I have met at my in-spot for how to do business right . Of course I am talking about the 12 Second Commute site and the can do spirit, that abides there. If you have a home based business or you are tired of the daily commute in all the traffic or even if you are concerned about your job being available next month, let me suggest you explore your options at 12SC. It is an International company that offers so much, it is almost impossible for a new business person to stand up to. I think though, that the Video How-To Library is a big boost as is the almost limitless live help that is available via the Forums, Skype Rooms and Ning Sites. There is a spirit of helping, that even the “Newbie's” get caught up in. You can sample all of this by simply accepting a 30 Days Free Trial. I believe that if you do, your efforts at Doing Business From Home will almost instantly climb to a whole another level of understanding and enthusiasm. So you see, by looking in non-traditional places for the help we need, can yield unexpected results that can be richly rewarding and duplicable.
