Yes,I love to fish. No, I’m not Ernest Hemingway

Let me introduce myself. My name is Pastor Bobby Keating. I have been in Internet Marketing, Affiliate Marketing, Home Based Business, Work at Home, and endless other names for about 15 years.

Basically I have been under the impression for the last 15 years or so that I could make money at home with my computer.

When I first started, I felt in my bones that within a very short time, I would be just rolling in dough. That was 15 or so years ago.

I shudder to remember the amount of money, time, effort, money (my money) that I spent trying to get rich.

I let my greed guide me and guide me it did to the point of bankruptcy.

If you’ve been doing this for a while, I’m sure you can relate. If you’ve just begun, don’t get discouraged.

Read on. I want you to benefit from my mistakes. I have a lot to tell you... Everyone likes to make money. Everybody knows that it takes money to survive. It takes money to live well. Money is a tool for us to use to get the things that we need and the things we want. Unfortunately sometimes the necessity for money overrides our sensibilities and we are consumed with a passion to make money. Money becomes the master.

This may seem strange but our attitude towards money can determine how much of it we will win. If we make money the focal point of our endeavors, we make wrong decisions and often fall for things that we know in our hearts are wrong.

First let me state that success is not measured by the amount of material wealth that we acquire. It is measured by the amount of balance we attain between our physical selves and our spiritual selves.

We must ask ourselves a question. Am I a physical being who sometimes has a spiritual experience or am I a spiritual being who is now having a physical experience? Before we can begin a journey, we need to know where the starting point lies. Keep reading and soon all of this will begin to make sense.

The very best advice for becoming successful comes directly from the Holy Scriptures. In the book of Jeremiah, God tells Jeremiah, who is doubting his ability to be successful, something that changed my opinion of myself.
He told Jeremiah, “I knew you before you were conceived in your mother’s womb.” Think about that. God knew Jeremiah, He knew me, He knew you before we became physical beings.

To me, this was an immense revelation. I realized that my essence, my core state of being is spiritual. Just like my physical body needs to be nourished and exercised, my spiritual self has the same needs.

In order for me to find success, I needed to find balance between my physical being and my spiritual being. Read on and we’ll go on an adventure. Our goal is harmony because harmony will facilitate our success.
