It’s official! 
Microsoft and Yahoo will be working together.

They have joined forces . Some might argue that they are ganging up on Google, Microsoft will power Yahoo's search, and at the same time, Yahoo will be powering on Bing.com (Microsoft’s new search platform…formerly known as MSN).

You can get all the details here:

If you are a marketer, this coould be good news for you.  Why?

It’s simple. Google will have more competition now that Microsoft and Yahoo have agreed to team up. We all know what increased competition can mean:  

1. Perhaps Google's advertising charges will decrease. That means your ad costs might go down. 
   
2. Google might have to treat its advertisers more respectfully because now there are some viable alternatives. 
   

Of course, this is all just speculation.  The deal is not scheduled to be finalized until 2010 so there won't be any overnight changes, but we marketers can all dream of these great advantages, can't we?

Please comment to this post to let me know what you think.

Over the next 30 days or so, I will be blogging about little baby steps you can take  as you travel the path towards entrepreneurship.

If you already have your own thriving online business, please excuse me for talking down to you. I want to start at the very beginning, but I promise I will try my best to add value to what you are currently doing.

However, I want to start with the newbie. Maybe this will be a great review for you. Perhaps you can pick up some pointers for your own business. I might even give you a few tidbits that you have overlooked.

The first thing you’ll want to do is to evaluate your reasons for wanting to start a work at home business.

Write down your top 3 reasons and post them all over your house – in your bathroom mirror, beside your computer, on your bathroom scale, beside the TV. You get the idea, post your reasons where you will see them many times during the day.

I know we all want to make more money, but your reasons have to be BIGGER than that. 

What will you do with that 6- or 7-figure income? 

What will increase income mean to your family? 

What changes will occur in your lifestyle? 

Dig deep to identify your reasons.  Those reasons are what will keep you on track toward reaching and even exceeding your goals.

Repeat your reasons aloud to yourself at least 10 times every day.

This little exercise may sound a little corny, but it will help you to stay on track when you hit the inevitable speed bumps that you will encounter you start building your enterprise.
