I was out to lunch with a dear friend a couple of days ago and she asked me what my plans were for the future, career wise. It as an interesting question that I didn't have an immediate answer to so I simple said, "At this time I am not sure as I am trying to figure out what I want to do". Growing up, my father had never really settled on one job, so it seemed like a silly question to ask. I had always followed in his entrepreneur steps and always sensed that opportunity would knock. Was I wrong? or just naive in my thinking? I pondered on that question for a couple of days and now think I have a solid answer to "what my future holds". I began my career choice as many young teenagers do, the decision was made by my parents. My mom had 10 kids and I liked kids so teaching felt like the right career path. She had gone to school to be a teacher, so that is what I was mostly pushed into doing. My mom had always said it was a good choice for moms to be teachers, so I went that route, seemed like a work from home job, in some sense as teachers were always working from home. I taught for two years and decided I hated teaching, too much politics and social networking (in the non-online form). So I had to adapt to my surroundings and, as my mother would say, "See a need, fill it". I decided to do the next best thing to teaching, online tutoring and instant homework help. This was a definite "work from home" field with an "online marketing business" twist. I spent hours on end (remember the quote from Abe Lincoln, "if I had 6 hours to chop down a tree, I would spend the next 4 hours sharpening my ax") learning about the internet. I learned how to social network, how to start my own small business, all about the SEO (Search Engine Optimization)and WWW (World Wide Web). I became a "preferred" writer on sites such as ezineonline.com and article city (they even sent me a mug at the end of the year for all my writing contributions). I found amazing business consulting sites (such as powerstrategies.tv and planetarystreams.com) that enabled me to bring my business to a successful money making company. I am at a new stage in my life, but a lot of what my future holds depends on what I steps I decide to take in my life and how I strategically place my next pieces. I don't think I was wrong or naive in not knowing that answer to what my future holds mainly because I am know I am able to do something with what I am giving. To quote the amazing President Abe Lincoln again, "During the Civil War the generals told the President that they had caught 6 cows and wanted to know what to do with them. He replied, "Milk Them". So to the World Wide Web and those spending hours on Google trying to find the answer to what their future holds, just remember to take what you are given and find the easiest solution.

Planetary Streams talk show host of Women Buy Everything & My Best Friends are dogs and bloggers" Kim Power Stilson, announced today, the release of her new marketing strategy training guide and workbook, 24 Hours to Zero Down Marketing Strategy Guide and Workbook. This guide is available online and in a social media education training package on www.powerstratgies.TV & www.planetarystreams.com. As soon as they found out she had her own marketing company, people would ask Kim for suggestions on how to spread the word about their product/services. Based on a success-proven strategy, Make, Bake, Shake, Rake & Fresh, created with 17 years of marketing success, Kim would suggest first creating a strategy or plan based on goals and then applying regular efforts to achieve name awareness and sales success. Most small companies could not afford her or other marketing professionals consultation fees ($30,000 strategy creation fee and monthly service fee $5 -10,000 per month) but they still needed the help and she wanted to assist them because she believes that marketing or not marketing a product/service makes the difference between success and failure. She was inspired to write this step-by-step guide and which gave the power back to the company owners with marketing knowledge at a budget- worthy cost. "Once you have a plan, a strategy and you know what you need to do then you run out of excuses to not take the time to market and sell," said Kim Power Stilson. "With each marketing effort company owners gain a little more success. With consistent efforts like even 24 hours a month focused on marketing, they will see real results in the areas of increased name awareness and sales." According to Kim Power Stilson, this is a great strategy guide for business owners and employees who want to impress their boss by helping their company increase their chances for sales. "You may have a great product but if consumers don't know about it they can't buy it," said Power Stilson. "Online and traditional Marketing is an essential component to business success. Entrepreneurs and small business sometimes overlook marketing because they don't have the resources to hire someone and most don't have the time to do it themselves. Now they can be doing effective marketing in just 24 Hours for a fraction of the cost." To make marketing affordable, Power Strategies offers a "Monthly Marketing Service – 24 Hours" style to help companies keep marketing once they have a strategy.
