Dog Basics for NEWBIES

1. Understanding ingredients

Understanding the ingredients of your dog's food items is a must for the dog lovers or dog owners. Whenever you feed the dog with different kinds of food items, you should always read the label and understand the contents about the dog feed types that are being used in such commercial preparations. You should understand the ingredients while buying food for your dog and also know what to look for.

Feed items include dry and fresh food. The fresh dog food that is prepared in homes generally consists of ingredients like freshly cut chicken pieces in addition to the cranberry juices, blue-green algae, etc.

If you come across any different kinds of preservatives and if the dog develops all of a sudden signs pertaining to the food allergy, suspect the unwanted ingredient in the feed items given. Similarly, understand about the moisture status. If the food item is having more moisture, then the dog may prefer this as well.

Beet pulp, pasta, Soy bean oil, wheat middlings, calcium carbonate, magnesium oxide, copper sulphate, iron sulphate, zinc oxide, choline chloride, etc. are often the ingredients in case of vegetarian based diet items offered to the pet animals like dogs.

Raw egg, chicken, beef, mutton, fish, quail etc. are often the preferred ingredients in case of dog diets that are prepared on the basis of the non-vegetarian items. Taurine is one of the essential ingredients for the dog’s nutrition. Like wise, in the case of dogs feed with frozen fish items, the vitamin called thiamine needs to be supplemented as an ingredient.

Many premium type of dog food preparations contain essential fatty acids, carbohydrates with adequate fiber contents, vitamins like A, D, E and B complex vitamins.
Furthermore, minerals like zinc, is an essential ingredient for skin health status and calcium, which is an essential ingredient for bone growth, tonicity of muscles. They should be enriched in these food items. However, the cost of those food preparations are comparatively more expensive than the food preparations with general ingredients. Though it may be better for your dog's health.

2. Dogs need different diets at different ages

Dogs need different diets at different ages. Yes. This is true. For example, the puppy needs milk as the major food item while an adult dog may need beef or chicken in addition to the boiled egg and milk. So depending on the age factor, the diet schedule varies in reality for the dogs like any other species.

Puppies need greater amounts of protein, fat and carbohydrates than an adult dogs. Furthermore, puppies need more frequent feeding schedules in a day, unlike an adult dog. The movement based requirements of diet are more in the case of puppies, since they are often more active than the adult dogs.

Elder dogs need restricted protein but the protein needs to be easily digestible and easily assimilated in the body. The diet schedule should have ample supply of water for them. Feeding aged dogs too much protein may finally lead to over burden to the renal structures and ultimately, the dog may end up damaging filters in the kidney.

This is true especially when the immune system of these dogs is compromised due to many factors. Similarly, the elderly dogs need less food only because the movements of the adult dogs are highly restricted and hence, they have to spend a limited of energy.

Female dogs in the pregnancy stage need not be fed a full stomach since it may cause some discomforts to the animal. However, the pregnant animal and the nursing animal need special type of food items that deliver a balanced type of nutrition with proper supplementation of vitamins and minerals.

The nursing animal with puppies need to be fed with enough amounts of calcium and hence, there will not be any calcium based deficiency and the bones of the puppies will be strong without any curving.

3. Vitamin and mineral supplements

Vitamin and mineral supplements are the most important components in any dog’s feeding. If there is a balance in the vitamin and mineral supplements, then the animal will have a healthy life and hence, the immunity is not compromised in an unwanted way. This simply means that there the dog will be more disease resistance against various diseases.

General Holistic Health Tips

1. Improve your posture. It is important to keep your spine as straight as possible, so that your muscles do not strain and contract unnecessarily. Also, in order to keep energy circulating throughout your body, it is important to keep your spine straight and nerves unhindered.

2. Consider “trigger point massage” for pain relief. If you are plagued by continuous pain and conventional pain medicines are not working to help eliminate it, consider this special type of massage. It will help to not only ease the pain – but to eliminate its source as well.

3. Try acupuncture. Acupuncture is type of holistic/alternative medicine that has been commonly practiced in the eastern part of the world for thousands of years. Five thousand years ago, the intention of acupuncture was to prolong life. With many alternative medical techniques, the intention is to prevent rather than to cure a specific or general ailment. The oldest recorded practice of acupuncture was over 5,000 years ago. Basically, acupuncture is used to stimulate the nerves in the body and as a result positively affect all of the other bodily systems.

4. Try Reiki healing. Reiki is a healing art that uses the body’s energy to begin and further the healing process. It is performed by using one’s hands to follow a specific pattern of massage, in order to stimulate energy movement throughout the body. There are many Reiki healers who are specially trained to perform the healing massage, or you can read about it or take a class to become a proficient Reiki healer yourself.

5. Consider a complete body cleansing. There are many different products on the market today that can help you to eliminate toxins from the body and increase the efficiency and overall health of your body. A complete cleanse will remove toxins and other harmful matter from your kidneys, liver and intestines. Generally how they work is you follow a strict dietary regimen for a few weeks while the cleansing process occurs. Most people who try this agree that it makes them feel healthier and they often report a fair amount of weight loss after the process is complete.

6. Try to avoid television. Believe it or not, television actually induces negative feelings in most viewers as a result of the commonplace violence and gossip. Television viewing is not nearly as relaxing as some people claim. Try giving up your television shows for a week, replacing them with other activities. You will most likely find that you are better rested, happier and less stressed at the end of that week.

7. Don’t forget to relax. No human being is equipped to function in constant stress mode. It is unhealthy to have a life filled with all work and no play. Some of the most common health problems that result when a person doesn’t relax enough include high blood pressure, stomach ulcers and other digestive disorders. Be sure to take some time out for yourself at least once a week, preferably once a day. This can help to prevent, and in some cases eliminate, these chronic health problems.

8. Consider biofeedback therapy. If you are experiencing health problems and cannot seem to find the source, a biofeedback therapist will monitor your body and how it reacts to daily activities in order to find out where it is not performing optimally. In this treatment, you would wear a monitor that actually records how your body is reacting while it is turned on. If you are an athlete suffering from muscle problems, you might want to consider this treatment to determine whether you are properly resting your muscles between activities.

9. Improve your sleeping habits. One of the best things that everyone can do to improve their well-being is to moderate their sleeping patterns. Unfortunately, poor sleep is a habit learned by nearly everyone during the teenage years. It is critical to allow your body the time it needs to wind down and relax so that you can be rejuvenated. If you feel tired during the day, when you awaken in the morning or exhausted before bedtime it is a sign that you are not getting the right amount of sleep. This could be too much, or too little. Try setting aside eight hours for sleep each night, getting into bed no less than half an hour prior to the time that you want to be asleep. If you do this for a few weeks, you will find positive improvements in your overall health and productivity.

10. Breathe mindfully. The process of mindful breathing is a form of meditation; however it is also a great way to get more oxygen into your blood and tissues. If you start right now and pay attention to how you are breathing, it is more than likely that you will find yourself breathing quite shallowly. This is not a healthy breathing pattern. You can start out by just inhaling completely and then slowly exhaling completely. If you take one minute to just do this focused breathing each day, you will find that you feel better during that minute. And, you will catch yourself paying attention to your breathing several times throughout the day. If you are stressed or tired, take a minute out of your day to breathe mindfully.

11. Try reflexology. Reflexology is a technique of applying pressure to and stretching the hands and feet in order to send nerve messages to other parts of the body. Through the careful application of reflexology, practitioners can affect the health of various organs and parts of the body. There are many resources available if you would like to learn more about the practice of reflexology.

A Positive Outlook for a Positive Life

Our outlook and attitude on life in general plays a huge part in how happy we are in life and how successful we become. Someone who thinks positively about everything will be more relaxed, calm and smile more than someone who is always looking on the bad side, who lets stress get to them and who constantly wear a frown.

Not only does how you think and feel affect you, it also affects those around you, in short our mood affects our day. Developing and keeping a positive outlook is essential if you wish to lead a positive and fulfilling life.

There are many ways in which you can develop a more positive outlook and begin to change how you think and feel about many situations that you encounter in day-to-day living. Changing your attitude and not slipping back into negative thinking will take time but eventually the new outlook will become second nature. The five main key points to remember when changing your outlook are

1. Turn your way of thinking into positive thinking and practice on a daily basis thinking positively. You should set your mind on completing one task at a time and think only of a positive outcome and how good you will feel when you have completed the task. Never give in to doubt and let yourself believe that you have taken too much on and just keep going.

2. Don?t let your conversations turn negative, when in a conversation it is easy to let others discourage you, particularly if they have a negative outlook on life. Don?t be tempted to fall back into your old ways, turn negative talk into positive and look for the good in everything and any situation.

3. Look for the positive in those around you and point it out, this way you can encourage a positive attitude all around you.

4. Whatever you are doing in your day-to-day life always look for the good in it, although it might be a boring task which you usually hate doing and one which leaves you feeling negatively, try to find something about it that turns it into a more positive situation.

5. Never let yourself become distracted or hoodwinked into going back to negativity, it takes time to change the way you feel and think and if you have been down on yourself and the world for a long time then your new outlook will take a while to register and stay around.

You will find over time that many areas of your life can be changed just by changing your outlook from a negative one to a more positive. You will find that your self-esteem improves, you become more popular, you feel happier and are more confident than before, you are able to tackle the tasks you once hated without them causing you stress and anxiety and your relationships improve. These are just a few of the areas where you can self-improve and gain a more positive outlook and thus lead a more positive life.

Know your self

Know your self--worthworth

Realizing your self-worth has nothing to do with checking your bank balance, it is about you, the person you are in life. We give others respect, love and consideration but how often do we give ourselves what is due? How you value yourself is based on the self-esteem you have, your self-esteem shows you how much you truly value yourself. Healthy self-esteem leads to independence, happiness, flexibility, the ability to adapt easily to change, co-operation and a positive outlook on any situation. Unhealthy or low self-esteem on the other hand leads only to irrational thoughts, unhappiness, fear of the new, rigidity, defensiveness and a negative outlook on life in general.

How we see ourselves has a lot to do with how others see us, if we are happy, smiling and full of confidence then others see us as someone they want to be around, if we respect ourselves and portray this then others will respect you too, after all how can you ask for respect from others if you don?t even respect yourself? So finding and developing your self-worth is all about developing your self-esteem, so let?s take a look at esteem

High self-esteem

If you have a high self-esteem you will see certain traits in yourself and how you see yourself, traits linked with a high self-esteem or self-worth are
- You are secure about who you are and have confidence in your abilities
- You allow yourself to show your true feelings to others
- You don?t have intimacy problems in relationships
- You are able to recognize and take pride in yourself for your achievements in life
- You are easily able to forgive yourself for mistakes and also forgive others

Low self-esteem

Similarly if you have problems with self-worth or low self-esteem then you will follow a certain pattern in your thoughts and ways, if you have problems with low self-esteem then you will see the following points in yourself

- You lack belief in yourself and are very insecure
- You have problems showing and accepting intimacy in relationships
- You never let your true feelings show
- You never recognize and give yourself credit for your accomplishments
- You have the inability to forgive yourself or others
- You resist change at every opportunity

Developing your self-worth

There are plenty of ways in which you can boost your self-esteem and change to a more positive and healthy outlook about yourself, here are some tips for developing and boosting your self-worth.

- Don?t take other people?s criticism to heart, instead listen to what they are saying and learn from it.
- Take some time out for yourself every day, meditate, look inside yourself and realize all your good points and imagine changing your bad ones into more positive.
- Celebrate and pride yourself on even the smallest achievements that you accomplish.
- Do something every day that you enjoy, such as talking a walk in the sunshine or soaking in a bubble bath.
- Never deprive yourself of something you enjoy, if you know you shouldn?t be doing it, then do it anyway and stop chastising yourself about it.
- Talk positively to yourself, repeat affirmations to chase away all of the negative thoughts and feelings.

Chapter 1: Introduction

You’ve Got Mail!

Welcome to “Relationship Marketing With Emails”!

In this book you learn all about one of the best ways to build your Internet marketing business – which is through Email marketing.

But before we dive in, let?s take a look why Email marketing is so effective in the Internet marketing industry.

- Email marketing is one of the fastest ways to leverage on the Internet. Because all you do is compose an Email, customize it to suit the reader (their first name or last name), and click the broadcast button to reach thousands of people instantly!

- Email marketing is highly scalable. Unlike an „offline? business where the more customers you have, the busier you are, in Email marketing, it is much easier because regardless of the size of your mailing list, whether it is 100 or 10,000, all you need to do is click broadcast and everyone on the list gets notified – all for the same effort!

- Email marketing is highly targeted. One of the reasons why Email marketing is highly effective at getting sales is because the recipient of the Email gets a kind of ‘in your face’ promotion. You are marketing directly to the customer through their PERSONAL mailbox. Not only will you grab their attention firmly, they will tend to respond with the right buyers mindset because they are marketed to directly (unlike other advertising where the buyer might not be in the frame of mind to buy things).

- Email marketing is personal. Autoresponders allow you to customize the Email in such a way that it allows you to connect with the subscriber individually. The more personalized your Email, the better the result (treat it as though you are writing to your best friend).

- You can automate many tasks with your autoresponder. For every new opt-in subscriber, you can time your Emails for you build a relationship with every new opt-in subscriber – what to send to them, when to send it to them and the frequency between each Email.

- Email marketing acts as a good pre-sell. You might not be able to cram a sales letter into your Email, but at least you can pre-sell your subscriber and lead them to your blog, sales letter or website to check out what you have to offer and set them in the right frame of mind before they evaluate what you have to offer.

In the next few chapters, you will learn the techniques on how to build stronger bonds, instill stronger credibility and increase your opt-in list response with relative ease… all with Email marketing!

Chapter 2: Building Relationships

Developing The Competitive Edge

One of the most important things you must do to achieve success online is to build a solid relationship with your subscriber.

Building a relationship is important because it can make the difference between making a sale and losing it to your competitor.

You see, just like in real life, if I had to choose between a friend who provides a service like car repair and a stranger who offered the same price, I choose my friend in less than a heartbeat.

Why? Because I?d rather give HIM my business compared to another stranger.

Email marketing can be quite competitive at times. Therefore when two marketers are promoting the same product, having a strong rapport with your subscribers will give you a competitive edge.

Take for example:

During a massive launch online where high ticket items are being sold and tons of marketers everywhere are sending Emails to their subscribers, most marketers would be offering bonuses to „bribe? their customers to buy through their affiliate link.

Sometimes, 3 or more would be pitching the same offer with similar value. So the question you should be asking yourself is if you were in the shoes of your subscriber, why should your subscriber buy from YOU instead of other marketers?

Once again, if you have built a strong relationship with your subscriber, they will be on your side – especially if you are trying to win an affiliate contest.

Chapter 1: Introduction

Small Changes Make The BIGGEST Impact!

Did you know that there are many little things that you can do to your website, blog, sales letter or product that can drastically affect the size of your Paypal account?

You see, there are a zillion and one products available on the Internet – and so is the Internet population! Making money online is all about the numbers. Because an Internet marketer can have hundreds to thousands of visitors visiting his website everyday, even the smallest changes can increase their profits dramatically.
Just take a look at the math.

A small tweak in a marketer?s email headline will cause an additional 2% to open the E-mail (Let?s assume the list size is about 50,000). If his „open rate? used to be about 10%, an additional 2% would get at least an extra 1,000 pairs of new eyeballs reading your E-mail!

But that is just the E-mail marketing aspect. What we want to do is to make our website convert like crazy! Imagine if among that additional 1,000 people, you are able to sell at least a thousand extra dollars worth of E-products to them by making minor tweaks to your website?

Imagine… if you are doing this OVER AND OVER AGAIN?

Make no mistake about it. This book is going to give you straight to the point information that will skyrocket your profits.

In this book, you will discover:

- How to make powerful changes in your branding that will make customers beat a path to your doorstep!
- By making some changes in your graphics, you will inspire your prospects to take action and turn that into more money in your pocket!
- How to tweak your sales copy and maximize your conversion without busting your bank account on copywriters.
- How to milk every last cent from your niche marketing sites!

- How to use video to increase sales!

Let’s get started right NOW!

Chapter 2: Branding

Don’t Be Afraid To Blow Your Horn!

You can?t afford to be too modest when you are trying to market your products on the Internet. Your product and your website on the Internet are like a small drop in a very large ocean. People?s attention span is divided amongst millions of websites on the Internet screaming for their attention.

Take for example, the resell rights industry. Online, everyone is selling the same products all over the net. Some price those normally while others sell the products for what someone would pay for a bag of peanuts.

It really seem as though every Tom, Dick and Harry are all resellers online. So what makes you different from the others?

If you want to skyrocket your online profits, you MUST be a branded product!

You see, the online world is slightly different compared to the real world. Some people might be afraid to blow their horn in public (or to tell others how much money they are making online). But online, you can write (almost) whatever you want on your sales copy or your profile page.

The most important thing you must do is you must stand out from the rest of the crowd!

If you?ve achieved success in sales, make sure you „flaunt? your Paypal screen shots before others. Do whatever it takes to let others know what?s so good about you. Let them know that you are different. If you do things that are extraordinary, chances are, people will take notice and spread the word.

Laser Targeted Focus

One of the things you must remember about branding is that you must let others out there know what you specialize in.

Chapter 1: Introduction

Develop That Winning Mentality TODAY!

Welcome to “Think and grow rich for Internet Entrepreneurs”!

In this book, you will learn the essential factors that separate the boys from the men when it comes to Internet marketing.

It is astonishing to know that the majority of people online are not making money. Most of them are probably not even recovering a fraction of their investment!

Pardon me for being brutally honest here, but the majority of them fail is because they do NOT desire success badly enough! Most of them that DO succeed is because when they want something badly enough, they will find the means to obtain success no matter what!

In this book, we will talk about a few essential factors that will give anyone (even total newbies on the Internet) important principles that will turn you from a whimpering, small time site owner into a massive Internet juggernaut!

We will talk about:

- The importance of having the right mindset as well as choosing the right vehicle
- What the success blueprint is all about by choosing the right business models that work
- The roadmap that you or anyone can use to achieve Internet marketing riches by applying this 4-step system
- The many pitfalls that people do all the time

So without further ado, let’s get started and learn all about the winning mindset immediately!

Chapter 2: Mindset & Vehicle

Develop the winning Mindset

Everything major plan or big business has a birth place – that is from the mind (the source where every action flows out from).

Before you jump into the Internet marketing scene, one of the first things that you must fine-tune is your mindset.

But what does it mean to develop the right mindset? Here are a few suggestions:

- Making money online is NOT a get rich quick scheme. You don?t just „dump money? into some marketing scheme hoping to get money in return.

- You must invest time into your education. Depending on your aptitude, you don?t just read an E-book or two and expect to become an Internet
marketing expert. After all, how long did it took you to get your university degree?

- You must invest time for trial and error. No one gets it „right? on the first try. You must be prepared for failures and mistakes. Learn from them and make sure you get up and fight again!

- You must be prepared to put up with negative people. There are many in the world out there who do not believe that it is possible to make money online. When you put your plans into action, you will face resistance from your beer-drinking buddies, your family members or even your BOSS! If you don?t have the endurance, you will succumb to the pressure.

- You must be prepared to go all the way. An Internet marketing business is just like any other business in the „offline? world. If you are not prepared to go all the way, you will give up halfway because you have put in a half-hearted attitude into your business. Remember the golden rule: how badly do you want success?

Choosing The Right Vehicle

Another thing that you must remember is that it is not enough to have the winning mindset alone. You must have the right vehicle to take you there.

For example: if you are wanted to get from one state in the U.S. to another, you will need to have the right vehicle to take you there. You can choose to ride a plane, drive a car or walk.

Of course it would be absurd to walk. But that is what people do in their Internet marketing business! They do not choose the best (or cost effective) vehicle to get them there!

They have the right mindset alright. And they are probably so fired up and positive that they don?t care how long it takes them to arrive at their destination.

It is also no different from natives who are all riled up about defending their homeland against invaders, but if they don?t have guns, their axes, spears and shields are not going to save them no matter how valiantly they fight (against the enemy?s gunpowder)!

Make no mistake about this. Taking too long to reach the destination is no different from failing. We must not delude ourselves into thinking that it takes time to build a business when we should be making money after a couple of months.

Some people spent years reading „make money online? E-books without making a single cent from the Internet. They convince themselves that they are still in the learning and education phase but they don?t take action!

Introduction

Many affiliate marketers generate six-figure incomes and beyond. You can do this too. With affiliate marketing, there is no need for you to have your own products and services to promote. Having a famous brand is also not necessary.

If you are skeptical about earning a fortune through affiliate marketing then there is no need to be. There is plenty of evidence around to confirm that many affiliates are earning a lot of money from their campaigns.

Affiliate marketing is where you promote other people’s products or services for a commission. You can promote physical products such as those you would find on Amazon.com, or digital products from affiliate networks such as Clickbank.com. Or you can promote physical and digital products if you want to.

The commissions that you will earn from promoting physical products will usually be on the low side. They are normally in the region of 3% to 8%. It is a different story with digital products as the commissions tend to be much higher. You can find digital products to promote that will pay you 50% to 100% commissions. It is easier to sell physical products though.

A good way to make consistent affiliate commissions is with new product launches. These are very popular in the make money online niche. Every day there are new products launched in this niche and you can become an affiliate for them and promote them to make commissions.

Product launches are not the only way for affiliates to make commissions. You have probably heard the term “the money is in the list”. This refers to having an email list of subscribers that are interested in your chosen niche.

You can send them automated emails and broadcast emails promoting new and existing products and services as an affiliate. When you decide to create your own product in your niche you can then promote this directly to your email subscribers.

Email marketing is one of the most effective ways to make money with affiliate marketing and we strongly recommend that you build an email list. Do not believe that email marketing is dead because it isn’t. It will be an effective means of marketing for years to come.

Another thing that you can do is to create product reviews. Creating video reviews and uploading them to YouTube can be very effective. It is a lot easier to rank a review video high in YouTube search than it is a blog post in the search engines. Videos often rank on the first page of the search engines too.

Anyone can get started as an affiliate marketer with little expenditure. We do recommend that you purchase your own domain name and some web hosting. This is much better than going with a free website or blog offered by Weebly.com or WordPress.com.

People are very Internet savvy these days and they know if a blog is free. You are trying to encourage your visitors to purchase the products you are promoting as an affiliate. If you can’t be bothered to purchase your own domain name and hosting, why should they trust you?

Here are the main benefits of being an affiliate marketer:

You do not need to create your own products
There are thousands of affiliate offers for you to promote
You do not have to deal with any customer support issues such as refunds
You do not have to hold and ship any inventory
You can be a successful affiliate marketer at home
The cost of entry is very low
You can promote products in several different niches

These are the main reasons why there are so many affiliate markets these days promoting other people’s products and services to try and make commissions. Only a small percentage of these people are successful for a variety of reasons.

You do not need any experience to succeed with affiliate marketing. If you are an experienced online marketer then you can promote affiliate offers as a way to increase your income. Once you have set up your affiliate marketing campaigns, they can be a source of regular passive income for you.

We want you to be a successful affiliate marketer and to do this you need to fully understand the most common terminology that is used in the business. In this powerful report, we will provide you with an affiliate marketing A – Z with full explanations of what all of the terms mean.

Introduction

At least once in every person’s life comes a time when the need is great and the resources are few. It can be hard enough to make ends meet on a decent wage, but, when the times get tough and the money just is not there to meet the need, a person can easily despair.

101 Ways to Raise Emergency Money has been written with you in mind. If you are forever trying to come up with inventive ways to earn and save more then this creative ebook will absolutely thrill you.

When a person can have good financial control and a good plan of action. Should emergency funds be needed, a person can then sleep better at night.

There is no real magic formula for coming up with on-the-spot emergency cash. There is a good deal of thinking through and the putting of a good plan into action. If you can do that, you have it made. That is truly all that any one of us can do to secure out tomorrows.

How to Cope with a Cash Crisis

If you are hit with a serious money crisis and you find yourself scrambling around for emergency money, here’s how to assess your situation and get back on your feet.
All of a sudden and without warning, your roof begins to leak! Your hot water heater shuts down and your computer goes up in smoke, the clutch needs to be replaced in your car and your son decides to have his wedding on the Isle of Oahu – all of this within the same week!

As you sit, stunned and you ponder an exit strategy you receive a friendly letter from the IRS explaining that you miscalculated your taxes in 1996, and
they now own your house.

This Kind of Money Emergency Requires your Immediate Attention

What do you do?

The above scenario looks like a money emergency of biblical proportions. You are afraid to open your front door for fear of finding a swarm of locusts!

Thank goodness, there are things you can still do to restore your financial life and equilibrium—and perhaps even fend off future misfortune—without having to sell your very soul.

Learning to Cope with a Money Emergency

Wherever there are money woes, you can be sure to find crippling emotional setback. Avoid it all you try, you might just as well begin to prepare for the devastating fiscal and the emotional fallout that is sure to come. You will need to cope very well with both if you hope to make a solid financial comeback.

Whenever a money emergency hits, it will be your ability to deal with the individual pitfalls that will hold you in good stead. It is when a series of financial hits come your way that the stress will tend to accumulate and make your life much more difficult to cope.

You will not be so overwhelmed when you can calmly and rationally look at each individual problem as it arises. If you sit back wringing your hands with worry and allow all of your emergencies to pile into one; you will find yourself down for the count.

Calm must take center stage. You must NEVER allow yourself the luxury of panic. There is no one there for you to just take over. You are all you have.

The more you panic, the less effective you will be. You need to keep a very clear head to be able to sit down and come up with an appropriate plan. Be aware of your own tendency to sabotage your plans further. It is only when you are at your most calm that you will be prepared to get to where you need to be and then overcome.

Being Calm is the First Key to Managing a Money Emergency

At even the first hint of a money emergency, it’s important not to act right

away. If you do you will inevitably make a mistake! First, before you can manage your finances again, you have to first manage your emotions. You absolutely must regain your balance before you can even begin to make a plan.

If your money emergency demands that you act quickly, think first about seeking the advice of a debt counselor, money coach or financial planner. Whenever possible think about seeking out the aid of a financially perceptive friend or family member who can help you to come to a clearer perspective.

Remember the old adage that ?two heads are always better than just one!? You won’t need to make a major cash investment if you’re strapped. Look for a planner who will give you a one-hour consultation for $150. Often times this will be all you will need to securely turn the corner.

Time to Crunch some Numbers

The first step toward establishing financial stability is to step back, take a deep breath and assess the damage. Possibly one of the bigger mistakes people make when they’re in a financial crisis is not being prepared to make a clear assessment of where they’re at.

You can easily become overwhelmed. However, totaling up the damage serves two important purposes. First, you need to know exactly how much you owe, how much money you have in hand and what it will take to cover the distance between the two. Second, you will want to avoid any other mishaps, such as penalties, further repairs, missed deadlines, etc.

If you are not properly prepared, you must become prepared on the spot. Any type of money crisis will catch you unaware and you will feel cornered. Wouldn’t it be ideal to be ready and waiting for the crisis? How likely is this to happen to you, though?
