A few months ago, I shared some of the free conference services to conduct teleconferences involving international countries. Now, it's time to take the discussion up a notch by doing video conferencing for free.

Can you imagine how powerful it is to have 10 people from different places join LIVE in one video conference and talk to each other? And on top of that, isn’t it incredible that you can do it for free?

If that isn’t enough, it is also possible to put your video conference on live streaming to be viewable by public and also record and upload your hangouts to your YouTube channel . All this comes to you for free if you just have a Google Plus account.

As an entrepreneur, soon after starting my first business, I realized that starting a business and then managing it properly is way more complicated than I originally thought it would be. In my case though, I did not even expect to make any money. I just started out to learn what it means to be in business for myself. I wanted to get a taste of entrepreneurship.

While the movie is very entertaining it reminded me of the dangers of ignoring our family, our own loved ones, while we search for future happiness.

Faced with what is right, to leave it undone shows a lack of courage. ~Confucius  [tweet this]

A few years ago when I was exposed to the network marketing business industry, I got two sets of information almost at the same time from two different sources. Interestingly, they were also just opposite to each other.

The set of people who showed me the business idea, were very positive and passionate about it. They were highly educated people with high profile professional careers. In short, they had what I wanted to have in terms of money, education and success professionally speaking. They shared why they chose network marketing and showed me why it was a good idea for me to give it a serious consideration.

The other set of people were my colleagues and a few friends who were around the same level in their careers as myself. I started to get their inputs when I asked them of their opinion of this business idea (As I always did before doing anything new). Many of them were aware of this industry and yet they were not participating because they believed it wasn't a good idea.
