3 Entrepreneur tips

While 99 percent of the population is going to work every day, trading their time for money...there’s a special group of “in the know” people who are waking up to a world of financial potential that most people don’t know is possible.
There’s a simple blueprint for making money with an online business.

1: Choose a great business idea, then start to build a website that attracts visitors.

Here’s a quick tip to come up with a great business idea:Combine one of your ideas/hobbies/skills to find something that you care about and figure out how that can be used to solve another person’s problem. Here’s what to do: Create a simple website for pennies using Wordpress or Squarespace that advertises what you do, and/or the product you’re offering. You don’t need any web or tech skills to make this happen. Both resources have ready-to-install templates. You just need to know how to use the internet!
Use regular tools (like Facebook, Instagram, a blog, etc) to start driving people to your website. Nothing secret or tricky here. Just talk to your friends, family, and accessible networks and try to start solving their problems. Identify their pain points and then go about actively solving them. This will help you fine tune your idea.
Direct them to your site to pick up their free piece of value content that you’ve prepared for them. Which is the subject of Step 2…

2: Offer visitors something free in exchange for their email address.

Create free, helpful content and ask visitors for an email address in exchange.
For example, you could offer a free 15-minute consultation, a tutorial video, a downloadable checklist, an info graphic, a guide or other types of free content depending on your business and industry. The list is literally endless.
Add these people to an email list and keep building that list over time. Slow but steady wins the race. You can create HUGE results with a very small email list. I know this because I was able to quit my job with a list of about 500 members.
I know what you’re thinking, so let me stress it again -- you don’t have to be a “techie” or know any programming!! The website can be up and running in a day for less than $50. And you can use an email marketing solution like MailChimp to manage subscribers, send emails, and track results for free.

3. Turn those subscribers into customers by asking them to buy from you via email.

Now it’s time to make money.
You can sell whatever you want -- a physical or digital product, a course, a service, or even coaching. It’s all based on what’s interesting to you, and what you think you can help your subscribers with the most.
After delivering a ton of free awesome content for a while (emailing your blog posts, YouTube videos, or whatever else you create), now you have the “right” to sell. Really, this means you have a core audience—no matter how small—who anticipates hearing from you, who reads or consumes your work, and who relates to your message.
This is huge.
These people, your Tribe, actually WANT to buy from you. They’re eager for you to produce a real product because they trust you.
This satisfies our innate human instinct for reciprocity—but really it’s because they think that what you offer is valuable, and an actual product puts a price to that value.
Here’s an example how a simple idea can be turned into a $1,000/month online business:
Let’s say you’re a tutor who’s really good at preparing students for the SAT/ACT college entrance exams.
That’s a pretty in-demand skill set with a high hourly rate. But after a while, you might get burned out driving from house to house or teaching big classes.There are only so many hours in the day.

There’s an easier way.
Instead of having to go door-to-door teaching SAT, you could make a website that gave great SAT tips and strategies for free. Create a PDF guide of your top five proven strategies for raising test scores and, in exchange for their email addresses, give it away to visitors who visit your website.
Continue to build that list of email addresses over time. Your list is your money maker. Treat it with utmost care and respect. Always remember these are real people.
Behind the scenes, you build a simple six-week video course teaching lessons as if you were in front of a classroom.
(I don’t want to hear you say you don’t have the proper equipment!! All you need is an iPhone. Don’t believe me? Casey Neistat is an acclaimed film director, producer and YouTube star with nearly two million subscribers. He films everything he produces on an iPhone. Yup.)
Once every month or two, send an email to your dedicated email list selling the course.
Every time you send, there’s a good chance people will buy. As the list grows, more and more people will buy.
(Remember, you’re still peppering them with juicy content in between each sales push. That’s how they grow to love and respect you.)
If you priced the video series at just $97 (which is quite fair considering how much private tutoring costs) and sold just just 10 of those a video courses every month, you’d make a quick $1,000 automatically...every single month.From a TINY email list.
THAT IS LIFE-CHANGING.

• That’s enough money for you to take a vacation.
• That’s enough money to pay off student loans.
• That’s enough money to pay down your debt and finally start saving.

And that’s what I mean. It doesn’t take a lot.
From here, the sky’s the limit. From here, the sky’s the limit. You can easily tweak the “dials” of your internet business and 2x, 5x, 10x that money easily with a few changes.
Keep growing your list and try to imagine what’s possible...

The Key to Better Sex Is All in Your Breathing

You've probably considered a yoga class once or twice — maybe a friend tried to convince you — but for one reason or another it never stuck and you're still skeptical. Consider, then, one huge bonus of the practice you may not be aware of: It can improve your sex life.

Here's how it works: The key to yoga's claim on your sex drive is in the breathing technique used during yoga, pranayama. It releases the same chemicals in the brain as sex does, meaning you can leave the studio post-yoga with enhanced sexual desire. Plus, during your practice, certain postures increase blood flow to the pelvic region, lighting up your sexual response. The heart rate of yogis in deep meditative states can even mirror that of frenzied lovers.

You don't even need to go to a class to reap the benefits, either. Here are five poses you can do anywhere to get you started — in more ways than one.

1. Chair Pose

Chair pose engages your pelvic region by forcing you to lift your pelvic floor as you lower your tailbone. It's the same muscles that are used in Kegel exercises and it leads to more intense control of sexual organs.

Do it: Start with your feet together, toes touching. Sit your hips back and reach your arms alongside your ears, like you are about to sit in a chair. Lengthen your tailbone down to keep from crunching in the low back, lifting the pelvic floor to elongate the spine.

2. Squat Pose

This deep squatting pose keeps pelvic joints healthy by forcing you to work your inner thigh muscles, pull up the pelvic floor, and engage your abdominals. It's also thought to stimulate your sex glands and spleen.

Do it: From a standing position, place your feet hips-width distance apart with the toes turned out. Bring palms together in front of your heart, and slowly lower down toward the mat to come to hover just above the floor. Place your biceps just behind your knees to spread them wider and to help lengthen your spine, reaching your chest up to the sky.

3. Cobra Pose

Cobra pose stretches out your sex organs and increases blood circulation to the reproductive organs.

Do it: Lie on your stomach, feet together and pointed to the back of the room. Place your hands alongside your ribs for stability, press your pelvis into the mat, and use your back muscles to lift your chest off the mat. Gaze just six inches in front of you to keep from crunching your cervical spine in your neck. Try lifting your hands off of the mat to lift higher. Lower slowly.

4. Seated Wide-Legged Straddle

This wide-legged forward fold increases libido by releasing tension in the groin muscles and heightening energy levels by signaling blood flow to the pelvic region.

Do it: Extend each leg to a 45-degree angle from your hip joint and flex your feet. Take a deep breath in, lengthening the torso. On the exhale, fold forward, reaching for your toes. Keep the spine lengthened as if someone is pulling the crown of your head forward. Breath deeply into the crease created at your pelvis.

5. Breathing Techniques

Fast breathing shuts down the cortex of the brain, which controls higher thinking, and allows your primitive brain and limbic system, responsible for sexual responses, to activate and release sex hormones.

Do it: Take a deep breath in, and exhale through the nose in short, sharp breaths, pumping the diaphragm as you count to 50. Take a deep breath in and out. Repeat. You can do this in a seated position, such as lotus, where you are seated with your legs crossed, or while holding other positions.

11 Ways to Protect Your Kids' Identity Online ; Just because your child doesn't have a Facebook account yet doesn't mean he's not at risk.​

1 Keep her SSN to yourself.

If the little league team asks for your kid's Social Security number, don't feel like you have to give it to them. "Try calling and explaining that you do not wish to share that information and ask what other info you can provide instead," says Ryan Anderson, the outreach program manager at the Center for Identity. "With very few exceptions — like government services, heath care, and insurance — most organizations do not need your child's SSN, but request it because it is convenient for them." If you absolutely have to give up the number, see if there's a way to do it over the phone rather than online.

2 Teach your kids to type links, not click.

Web-surfing children need to know how g00gle.com can be different from google.com. "There are a lot of people who collect misspellings and create clone sites for the purpose of gathering information, which can then help them to commit identity theft," says Adam Levin, founder of IDT911 and author of Swiped. To avoid unsafe sites, stress the importance of typing in URLs (rather than blindly clicking on links) and checking the spelling before logging any personal information.

3 Be wary when posting photos.

Parents often disagree about how much to post about their kids and, at the end of the day, it really is a personal preference. Just beware of the risks: You could potentially become a target for a robbery, your kid's photos could be taken and reused by a stranger, or info you post could even be used to facilitate a kidnapping. So skip that first day of class shot next to the school entry sign. "I was very protective of my son's identity when he was younger," says Tracy Gibb, the blogger behind Less Than Perfect Parents. "I never used his face on my blog or any social media sites because I was nervous some weirdo might take an interest in him."

4 Always turn off geotagging.

By disabling the location services on your cell phone, you'll save battery power and you'll make it harder for thieves to locate or track you. "If your picture is geotagged, that means someone with basic computer skills can click on the properties and get into the code to figure out where that picture was taken," says Levin. Why give away your child's school — or your home address — unnecessarily?

5 Check their credit reports.

"Most children shouldn't even have a credit score," explains Anderson, "given that those scores are only issued by the three major credit bureaus when someone has applied for or received some type of credit." (Think: student loans or credit cards.) With identity theft continuing to grow, the Center recommends that parents check their children's credit history at least once a year to be safe. Then, if something comes up, you can have the credit bureaus freeze your child's credit, which would prevent anyone from opening up more accounts.

6 Break the rules to safeguard passwords.

It's not enough to have a complicated password anymore — especially on websites that ask super simple questions in order to approve a password reset. Identity thieves can easily find out a pet's name or a school's mascot using social media. So when answering these questions, Levin has a trick: Lie. "When a site is looking for an answer to a security question, truth is not important. It's about consistency," he says. For example, if your maiden name is Brown, have your kid say it's Orange.

7 Register their domain name.

And, while you're at it, their email address. You don't have to actually build them a website, but Levin says it's smart to reserve those accounts for a few reasons. For one, they'll have easy-to-remember URLs and emails when they're ready. Plus, these accounts are reserved and can't be used fraudulently. But you might need to wait until the early teenage years: "Most social media networks and email providers don't actually allow you to create a profile for children under 13, unless you lie about their age," says Anderson. "And that account could always be flagged as fraudulent and shut down."

8 Steer clear of strangers.

Sure, your kids know not to talk to strangers in public, but have you made it clear that the same rule applies online? "Unlike the physical world where there are some easily identifiable good strangers — such as law enforcement or firefighters — there is no such thing as a safe stranger online, where someone's identity can easily be faked or concealed," says Anderson. There's no reason for them to accept friend requests from people they don't know.

9 Don't friend them on social media.

Why? It connects and exposes them to adults they don't know — and makes all of their data vulnerable, argues blogger Jessica Gottlieb. "Before you friend a child, any child... ask yourself what it might achieve. If your child is under 13, they aren't supposed to be on Facebook, but that's not because of maturity or Facebook caring about childhood. It's because Facebook buys and sells your data and it's illegal to buy and sell data from children under 13," she writes.

10 Set up separate computers.

"If you can afford it, have your kids use a different device," suggests Levin. "This way, if their device gets contaminated, your tax return and your bank information doesn't go up in smoke or end up in a ransomed file."

11 Make sure they keep private info private.

• 
  

"Kids can become weapons of mass destruction in terms of online security," warns Levin. "They can be giving out information that they don't realize is personal, identifying info." Explain that they should never share info about themselves, their friends, their family, their neighborhood, or anything that could be used to identify them. The Center even has a free game called  Beat the Thief that will help educate kids on this very topic.

This can lead to problems with digestion, erectile dysfunction, and many other functions. Among themost commonly affected areas are the extremities, in particular the feet. Nerve damage in these areas is called peripheral neuropathy, and can lead to pain, tingling, and loss of feeling. Loss of feeling is particularly important because it can allow injuries to go unnoticed, leading to serious infections and possible amputations. People with diabetes carry a risk of amputation that may be more than 25 times greater than that of people without diabetes. However, with comprehensive management, a large proportion of amputations related to diabetes can be prevented.

To prevent possible organ damage to the fetus, women with type 1 diabetes or type 2 diabetes should achieve target glucoselevels before conception. All women with diabetes during pregnancy, type 1, type 2 or gestational should strive for target blood glucose levels throughout to minimize complications. High blood glucose during pregnancy can lead tothe foetus putting on excess weight. This can lead to problems in delivery, trauma to the child and mother, and a sudden drop in blood glucose for the child after birth. Children who are exposed for a long time to high blood glucose in the womb are at higher risk of developing diabetes in the future.Would you like to get a perpetual cure?
