    Life as a Consultant
    Life as a Consultant (Photo credit: Ikhlasul Amal)

     

    1. Marketing Consultancy

     

    If you have served for several years in a particular industry, and have acquired the know-how that it takes to become an expert in the field, why not consider the role of a marketing consultant? You could start your business by offering your services to known customers, and expand the base as the business grows.

     

    2. Web-Based Business

     

    If the world of the World Wide Web is your abode, starting up a business as a web designer or developer is not a bad idea. The set-up costs would include investment in computer systems, and the word is ‘go’ from there on!

     

    3. Photography

     

     

     

    If photography has been an interest area all your life, why not turn this hobby into a business? All you need is the right equipment and the right digital tools to set ball rolling. What’s more, you could even opt for video photography to enhance the scope of work.

     

    4. Online Trading

     

    If you feel that the rise and fall in the stock market is the main cause of the fluctuations that happen in your heart, your soul lies in the share market. You can operate a business right from the comfort of your home as you offer consulting as well as trading services to your clients.

     

    5. Real Estate

     

     

     

    Property rates rising and falling make many consumers seek the advice and assistance of brokers or agents. If you have an interest in the field, you could take up real estate consultancy or brokering as an option to set up your business from home.

     

    6. Automotive Parts

     

    So, are you a car enthusiast and never imagined that you could turn your passion into a business idea? Well, here it is. You can tie up with manufacturers of parts and build a client base that requires them, but does not know how to contact the makers directly.

     

    7. Pet Care

     

    Animal lovers need not fret, for there are various options for them to start a business from home too. You could associate with a veterinarian hospital to know what products to purchase and hire one or two young helpers who love animals too.

     

    8. Wedding Planning

     

     

     

    While considered a female domain, scope for men to enter the industry is enormous too. However, you need to have the knack and organisational skills required for this job. You also need to have a good relationship with caterers, interior decorators, florists, hotels and various other service providers.

     

    9. Food Catering

     

    Did you think that cooking was just something that a homemaker had to do? Wrong! You can make a profession out of it, too! And that too right from your own home! All it requires is acquiring the right resources, gauging the tastes of your potential clientele, and of course, being a food-lover!

     

    Gardening

     

    Now this does not mean you mow the lawns and water the plants in the houses of other people. This implies establishing your own set-up or nursery, wherein you can not only house plants and flowers of all kinds, but also provide equipment, training and consultancy to avid garden-growers.

     

    Starting your own business, that too from home, may not be everyone’s cup of tea. However, cautious planning can help you turn a venture into a huge success. Make sure you know what your area of interest is!

  • Signs of Spiritual Awakening- Video.

    Some symptoms are correct.Some of them relate to mental break down.

    For signs of spiritual awakening read ‘Shakti and Shakta‘ by Sir.John Woodroofee ,Lobsang Rampa,Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa among others.

    ”

    1. You’re feeling confused

    Confusion feel muddy and scary – almost paralyzing. Yet I believe that confusion can be one of the signs of spiritual awakening. What ifconfusion is just your old way of life bumping up against new, more fulfilling possibilities? But to make the move, you’ll have to leave a few things behind. Listening offers up temporary turbulence. Resisting create more confusion. The way out? Stay open to the new, and relinquish your attachments to beliefs that no longer work.

    2. You no longer ‘fit’ your life

    Why did I choose this career? This partner? What did I ever see in that? Like confusion, feeling disconnected from your current life can be re-framed as one of the signs of spiritual awakening. Like confusion, your soul is calling out for change. The question is: are you listening? Change is scary. No one’s suggesting that you uproot yourself tomorrow. But as you notice what no longer fits, also notice what you’re drawn to, what lifts your heart. Then take action. Rinse and repeat. 🙂

    3. You’re rebelling against where you came from

    Who says you have to turn into your parents? If you’re questioning the rituals that you were born into, that’s great! Why? Because questioning is one of the signs of spiritual awakening. Because questioning will lead to new activities, rituals and a new dynamic in your relationships – including the possibility for a soulmate relationship if you want one. Be happy – you’re ready to come into your own! Keep the wonderful things your parents taught. Tweak the rest for you.

    4. Your life feels ‘blocked’

    You’ve been seeking true love forever. Your health problems stump you. It feels as if everything you do is blocked. Sometimes, ‘blockages’ can be one of the signs of spirtual awakening. Sure, your situation might call for more external effort. Or – perhaps it’s a soul sign to turn inward and re-evaluate. What have you been resisting? What options have you ignored? If your decisions are consistently blocked: explore new ones. My hunch? That’s where your soulmate lies.

    5. You think you’ve met a soulmate

    Your life was moving along tickety boo. Then you meet, and all of a sudden you’re having feelings you’ve never had before. Are you crazy?Should you control it? Or give in with wild abandon? Re-frame! Perhaps this is a sign of spiritual awakening for you. You’ve been set alight. It’s time to ask big questions. Who are you? Are you happy? How do you wish to spend the rest of your life? With your needs buried, unmet? Or in a deeply intimate relationship with life – and potentially – awakening to soul love. Do soulmates exist?

    6. You’re in a whopping mid-life crisis

    Be honest. It’s been building up for years The small tensions, irritations. You pushed them aside. Then all of a sudden, you’re at your tipping point and you become a flurry of anxiety and compulsion. You quit your job. Have an affair. Buy a motorcycle. The potential pearl is to take your newfound courage, and harness it, like a beautiful wild stallion. Your midlife awakening can be the best thing that ever happened: one of the signs of spiritual awakening… and a brand new way for you to experience life.

    7. Your dreams are wildly intense

    Sometimes, you wake up and it takes a while to return to reality.Perhaps a dream was prophetic. Perhaps you received a ‘download’ that helps you understand your life, a past life, or gives you a clue about a soulmate. The dream realm is powerful. It’s where we can get in touch with our own and the collective unconscious. When dreams rise up, honour them. Truly, dreams are one of the signs of spiritual awakening.

    8. You’ve had moments of psychic clarity

    Maybe you don’t even believe in such things! Yet it wasn’t a woo-woo vision – more of a deep knowing. Psychic vision is simply our attunement to the realms which we cannot detect with our five senses, presenting possible and probable outcomes. An increase in psychic sensitivity is one of the signs of spiritual awakening. Embrace it. This vast knowledge is there to guide you… in life and yes – as you seek your soulmate.

    9. You want to go ‘Home’

    Now I don’t mean going home to spend the weekend with mom and dad. I mean Home in a universal sense. As we’re all spiritual beings having a human experience, sometimes we miss our spiritual Home on the other side. This may also feel like an unexplained longing, or sadness. Our task is to integrate our spirituality on earth, so when we feel this way, it’s an opportunity to connect with our deeper selves. If this resonates for you, read about my experience.

    10. Your neck, base of the skull and lower back hurts

    Simply, this type of chronic body pain represents the cells of your body waking up to a new vibrational level. Our minds and spirit is more fluid than our bodies… which need support when we awaken. I’ve experienced these symptoms the most when I’ve been detoxing on homeopathy, after which I feel stronger than ever. A homeopathic remedy I personally use which dissolves emotional issues in our cells and (I believe) supports awakening.

    11. You’ve experienced a loss

    Whether you’ve lost a relationship, a soulmate, a job, or a home, loss rips us open, leaving us raw. When the shock subsides, we are faced with a choice. To sink further into despair – or view the loss as one of the signs of spiritual awakening (not easy, but with reward). If we decide to recover instead of resist, our life will become richer in time… and so will our ability to appreciate life and love in all of its forms.

    12. You’ve encountered death

    Perhaps you’ve faced your own mortality because of illness. Or that of a loved one. Perhaps you have been engulfed by the waves of grief.Regardless, you know you’ll never be the same. For some, grief marks the end of life. For others (in time), grief is a way in. One of the signs of spiritual awakening. A gateway to a new way. For bursting forth from the resonance of grief, incredible beauty and healing is possible. For Self, for others…down the block and maybe even around the world.

  • Some Tips for Home.

     

    Some tips for Home.

    These are some suggestions and follow these at your discretion and risk.

    1) Flies or bees bothering you? Spray them with hairspray and they will take a quick dive.

    2) Sealed envelope – Put in the freezer for a few hours, then slide a knife under the flap. The envelope
    can then be resealed. (hmmmmmm…)

    3) Use Empty toilet paper roll to store appliance cords. It keeps them neat and you can write on the roll what appliance it belongs to.

    4) For icy door steps in freezing temperatures: get warm water and put Dawn dishwashing liquid in it. Pour it all over the steps. They won’t refreeze. (wish I had known this for the last 60 years!)

    5) Crayon marks on walls? This worked wonderfully! A damp rag, dipped in baking soda. Comes out with little effort (elbow grease that is!).

    6) Permanent marker on appliances/counter tops (like store receipt BLUE!) rubbing alcohol on paper towel.

    7) Whenever I purchase a box of S.O.S Pads, I immediately take a pair of scissors and cut each pad into halves. After years of having to throw away rusted and unused and smelly pads, I finally decided that this would be much more economical. And now a box of S.O.S pads last me indefinitely! In fact, I have noticed that the scissors get sharpened this way!

    8) Opening brand new jars can be a feat in itself. Well, I have found a way to make it the easiest thing to do. Instead of banging a jar of jam, pickles, etc., with a knife until it loosens up, I simply reach into the drawer and pull out the handy nutcracker. It adjusts to the size of the jar and I simply give it a good twist and off pops the lid!

    9) Blood stains on clothes? Not to worry! Just pour a little peroxide on a cloth and proceed to wipe off every drop of blood. Works every time!

    10) Use vertical strokes when washing windows outside and horizontal for inside windows. This way you can tell which side has the streaks.  Straight vinegar will get outside windows really clean. Don’t wash windows on a sunny day. They will dry too quickly and will probably streak.

    11) Spray a bit of perfume on the light bulb in any room to create a lovely light scent in each room when the light is turned on. Place fabric softener sheets in dresser drawers and your clothes will smell freshly washed for weeks to come. You can also do this with towels and linen.

    12) Candles will last a lot longer if placed in the freezer for at least 3 hours prior to burning.

    13) To clean artificial flowers, pour some salt into a paper bag and add the flowers. Shake vigorously so the salt will absorb all the dust and dirt and leave your artificial flowers looking like new! Works like a charm!

    14) To easily remove burnt on food from your skillet, simply add a drop or two of dish soap and enough water to cover bottom of pan, and bring to a boil on stovetop.

    15) Spray your Tupperware with nonstick cooking spray before pouring in tomato based sauces and there won’t be any stains.

    16) When a cake recipe calls for flouring the baking pan, use a bit of the dry cake mix instead and there won’t be any white mess on the outside of the cake.

    17) Wrap celery in aluminum foil when putting in the refrigerator and it will keep for weeks.

    18) When boiling corn on the cob, add a pinch of sugar to help bring out the corn’s natural sweetness.

    19) Cure for headaches: Take a lime, cut it in half and rub it on your forehead. The throbbing will go away.

    20) Don’t throw out all that leftover wine: Freeze into ice cubes for future use in casseroles and sauces.

    21). To get rid of itch from mosquito bites, try applying soap on the area and you will experience instant relief.

    22) Ants, ants, ants everywhere … Well, they are said to never cross a chalk line. So get your chalk out and draw a line on the floor or wherever ants tend to march. See for yourself.

    23) Use air-freshener to clean mirrors. It does a good job and better still, leaves a lovely smell to the shine.

    24) When you get a splinter, reach for the scotch tape before resorting to tweezers or a needle. Simply put the scotch tape over the splinter, then pull it off. Scotch tape removes most splinters painlessly and easily.

    25) Now look what you can do with Alka Seltzer. Clean a toilet. Drop in two Alka Seltzer tablets wait twenty minutes, brush and flush. The citric acid and effervescent action clean vitreous China.

    * Clean a vase. To remove a stain from the bottom of a glass vase or cruet, fill with water and drop in two Alka Seltzer tablets.* Polish jewelry. Drop two Alka Seltzer tablets into a glass of water and immerse the jewelry
    for two minutes.* Clean a thermos bottle. Fill the bottle with water, drop in four Alka Seltzer tablets, and let soak for an hour (or longer, if necessary). Unclog a drain. Clear the sink drain by dropping three Alka Seltzer tablets down the drain followed by a cup of Heinz White Vinegar. Wait a few minutes, then run the hot water. Do your friends a favor. Pass this timely (and some not-so-timely) information on to a friend or two.

    26) Bounce This Around…

    And all this time you’ve just been putting Bounce in the dryer!

    It will chase ants away when you lay a sheet near them. It also repels mice.. spread them around foundation areas, or in trailers or cars that are sitting and it keeps mice from entering your vehicle.

    It takes the odor out of books and photo albums that don’t get opened too often.

    Repels mosquitoes. Tie a sheet of Bounce through a belt loop when outdoors during mosquito season.

    Eliminates static electricity from your television (or computer) screen. Since Bounce is designed to help eliminate static cling, wipe your television screen with a used sheet of Bounce to keep dust from resettling.

    Dissolve soap scum from shower doors. Clean with a sheet of Bounce.

    Freshen the air in your home. Place an individual sheet of Bounce in a drawer or hang in the closet. Put Bounce sheet in vacuum cleaner.

    Prevent thread from tangling. Run a threaded needle through sheet of Bounce before beginning to sew.

    Prevent musty suitcases. Place an individual sheet of Bounce inside empty luggage before storing.

    Freshen the air in your car. Place a sheet of Bounce under the front seat.
