Purchasing Your Home With Just 3 Character References? And No Credit Check? You Bet
On a recent trip to Oklahoma to vist a good friend of mine from business school all he could talk about was how lucky he was to find a way to buy the home he had his eye on for 2 years. Charles and I have known each other for years. We met in an accounting class years ago and have kept in touch.
Charles is self employed and runs his own business and has done so for years. Until recently his business has performed quite well. With the downturn and an addition to his family Charles decided the family needed to move. But there was only one problemno bank would finance the 320000 house he was looking to purchase. Everywhere Charles went he would show he had the money to buy itbut no banks would work with him due to a lack of W2′s and average credit from a real estate project years before.
Enter New Horizon Oklahoma. “This program is too good to be true. I was at wits end and they told me all I had to do was come up with the down payment and three character references. I did and I am now in my home”.
Since that time Charles has been telling a lot of his friends about the program and the program itself is taking off.New Horizon Oklahoma helps people purchase a home who fall into any of the following categories: Credit challenged consumers or no income verification selfemployed individuals or just individuals seekingdiscretion. What makes this program work is the network of 10000 private investors who finance the homes.
“The American Dream is still alive for myself and my family thanks to New Horizon Oklahoma” Charles boasts. I was impressed with the program as well and even more impressed that Charles picked up our lunch tab.

Practical Tips On How To Systematically Transit From A Job-Only Position Towards Entrepreneurial Focus
Practical Tips on How to Systematically Transit from a JobOnly Position towards Entrepreneurial Focus
By Elliott Omose publisher The Creative Income Journal
Unfortunately your employer is not as interested in you as much as you would like to think! Put it this way the truth is that just as most employees work just about enough to get paid at the end of the month; your employer also pays you just about enough to keep you from quitting. The post you occupy at your place of work was created before you applied for the job in the first place and may still continue to exist even long after you have left. As you can see the post was created primarily for the benefit of that company and not necessarily with you in mind.
I needed to be this blunt in order to awaken you to the new realities which the current economic challenges have brought on every one of us especially those in paidemployment. Im not in any way trying to get you to start undermining your job far from it. Except that in my field as a Business Consultant the shocking overwhelming impression Im getting from the everyday man on the street is that of the belief that suggests oh I cant wait for the economic crunch to be over and for things to return to how they were. WRONG! If anything history has taught us that with any major global impact of this nature comes a major paradigm shift also. What that means is if you go to sleep now waiting for when things will return to normal you may discover by the time you finally wake up that you are already in the evening hours of your life.
PARADIGM SHIFT
Simply put a paradigm shift is a term used to describe a change which refers to a move away from how things have always been done. The almighty banks have failed the multinational corporations are falling apart before our very eyes Investing is a nogo for some time to come our socalled economic experts have all gone to hide pension schemes are in tatters and Jobsecurity is a thing of the past. Only one thing is about to emerge at the other side of this ongoing economic shaking the Concept of Individual Entrepreneurship. We are moving from the age of the employee where you choose to work for an employer all your life into the age of the Entrepreneur the free agent where you will need to be more than just an employee. From the age of lifelong employability to the age of lifelong entrepreneurial creative productivity and the biggest mistake you can ever make right now is to sit back and believe you work for anyone else but yourself. You are now the president and CEO of your services corporation with only one employee YOURSELF and for the rest of your life your job is to Identify Develop and Package yourself into an entrepreneurial service effectively so as to maximize your Value ..and be able to enjoy a high standard of living accomplish all your goals in life and retire financially independent. It is my belief that at the end of the ongoing economic shift the way we do business would have changed forever and the concept of smaller businesses will gain greater ground creating a new class of wealth producers. Every economic paradigm shift has ended up producing a new group of what I call wealth producers and thats where most of the successful individuals across the globe today were made. They saw the shift coming got ready for it and the rest is history.
HOW TO TURN YOUR LEMON INTO LEMONADE
You are faced with one of two choices; sit back and allow the storm of the ongoing economic crisis blow you to where it wants or the second choice of waking up now and seizing the opportunity irrespective of how badly affected your case may be.
PRACTICAL STEP 1 DEVELOP AN ENTREPRENEURIAL MIND
It all starts with this allimportant principle of personal development. Too many people today sit back and live the rest of their lives for a 6am5pm job. Begin to see yourself more than that job and realise theres more to you than that job. You dont have to quit your job but start on the life journey of self development by:
a start to read books and listen to audio materials on money entrepreneurial mindset success management etc
b Pick two or three mentors who you have grown to admire consistently. Each time you heard about them or seen them on TV you have always felt nothing but admiration. Simply make it your assignment today to buy and read all he/she has written and above all study the principles behind his/her success.
PRACTICAL STEP 2 TURNON YOUR ENTREPRENEURIAL CREATIVITY
The best I have discovered from my 15 years of consistently studying the secrets of the Rich and Successful is that people become success primarily because they moved into their areas of predisposition a.k.a coregenius. Heres an assignment for you; take a pen and write down all the successful people you know and suddenly one thing stands out; they became so good at doing a particular thing better than everyone else around them. Check further and you will find it is that thing they are doing better than everyone else around them which brought them that success. Being better than anyone else is more than practice its connected with your predisposition your areas of coregenius. Think of J.K. Rowling of Harry Potter Anita Roddick of Body Shop and so on. I call it signature entrepreneurial idea. Theres more to you than onlyajob.

Persistence Means Success With Your Work At Home Business Opportunity
When you have succeeded to pick legitimate work at home opportunity the next action is to select the promotional methods which you will develop over time. In this article I will handle the attitude and persistence features of the work at home business.
1. Why Your Work At Home Opportunity Needs Persistence?
Persistence is a part of any success and also a part of all work at home businesses because it takes time to become successful. First you have to study and learn the needed skills to run your work at home opportunities then you have to repeat them several times to learn to master them. This takes lots of time.
To build a successful business from the selected work at home business opportunity is like to build a house. You have to put brick on the top of the earlier brick and finally the roof on the top of everything else.
Work at home opportunities work at the same way. Actually the market is the mind of the target person and the system is the same as in the school. After several contacts and several messages you can wait for a response.
2. The Most Important Element Of Persistence Is The Repetition.
If you have persistence you have the discipline to repeat your messages. Legitimate work at home opportunities need lots of repeated communications to be able to grow. Hardly anybody will buy after the first contact. The stats show that about from 5 to 7 contacts repetitions are needed before the target person starts to react.
3. Winning The Trust.
Every new and old work from home business opportunity must win the trust of the target group. This takes time and several contacts and even personal communications with the target persons.
The nature of the trust is that it comes from many minor things but the most important one is the real customer experience. If you run only legit work from home business it is a splendid starting point.
4. The Strong Brand Is The Target.
The brand means the fame or image which your work at home business opportunity gets from the target group. It can be good or bad strong or weak but you cannot avoid it. So it is wise to build it according to a plan which means that you must plan all your business activities carefully.
Also the nature of the brand is that it will be created piece by piece over a long time. It needs lots of contacts with the different mediums and lots of quality in all your contents.
5. The Target Group Thinks If You Are On The Market After Some Months?
Hardly anybody wants to start a work at home business opportunity with a person who is maybe out of the market after some months. Success breeds success and people are looking for work at home businesses which have operated online for several years. That is the sign of a success.
