Home Based Business Opportunity : All’asta

Today, I found an interesting twist on the direct sales home – based business. The business opportunity is called All’asta, which is also the Italian word for auction. Think of a home party, with a host, a consultant, and guests. Instead of selling items from a catalog, the buying and selling at this party takes the form of a silent auction. The items that are being auctioned are actually items contributed by the host and the guests, so this home party is eco – friendly in that it promotes reuse. One other appealing thing about an All’asta party is that … Continue reading

Separating the Business Opportunities from the Pyramid Schemes

Christians ought to be looking out for those who are in need. Although many times it is obvious when a person is in need, … Continue reading

Looking For Opportunities

I recently heard a lesson over looking for opportunities: opportunities to share God and the plan of salvation with others.

Christians not only need to take advantage of these opportunities, but also seek out new occasions to share God with others. This blog will be the first in a series I want to write about the opportunities that Christians have to share the gospel of Christ. Everyone needs … Continue reading
