Become An Entrepreneur: Helpful Websites
Hello Everyone!
Post two holiday related posts, I thought I'd get back on track with the mission of the dekoposh blog and start a series about websites that can help you do something BIG." BIG" being something that empowers others and demonstrates a willingness to change the world for the better in some way.
For this first post, I'm featuring entrepreneurism and how to become an entrepreneur as this is something I know about (since I'm an entrepreneur myself). I've covered everything from fun games to help build your entrepreneurial skills to information about the legalities of setting up a business.
Of course, even with all the right resources, starting a business requires plenty of time and energy, but the payoff is worth it. There is nothing more satisfying than working for yourself.
Enjoy:
Business Issues (http://www.business.gov/)- A site hosted by the goverment that explains the legal stuff that starting a business requires.
Homeschool Entrepreneur Newsletter (http://homeschool-entrepreneur.com/)- This site offers a free online newsletter that's great for all entrepreneurs, not just homeschooled ones! I love this newsletter and find it very useful. Many of the websites in here were recommended in issues of this newsletter.
Investopedia (http://simulator.investopedia.com/Authorization/login.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fhome.aspx)- This simulator based on the actual stock market can help you understand how stocks work.
Johnny Money (http://game.johnnymoney.com/)- This in-depth game will teach you how businesses are run.
Teen Business Resource (http://www.sba.gov/teens/index.html)- This site is unique in the sense that it covers starting up a business, but from a teen's point of view.
Teen Business Stories (http://www.youngbiz.com/)- Interesting stories of teen entrepreneurs who've had success. Navigate the story section using the side bar. This website also has some useful business resources, like the one above.
Solo-E (http://www.solo-e.com/)- This site features a ton of articles written by small business experts that are geared to the home-based service business.
Best Wishes,

Valentine's Day Websites
Happy Valentine's Day, Everyone!
Today being the Valentine's Day, I thought I might feature Valentine themed websites to honor the holiday. Since today everyone will be scrambling off to spend time with their loved ones, I've made this list short and sweet:
89 Ways to say "I love you" (http://www.electpress.com/loveandromance/iloveyou.htm)- This site tells you how to say "I love you" in 89 different languages. (Btw, they don't have I love you in Esperanto, so I thought I might supply that. It's "Mi amas vin.")
Boycott on Valentine's Day (http://articles.moneycentral.msn.com/CollegeAndFamily/LoveAndMoney/boycott-the-valentines-day-madness.aspx)- For those of you against the holiday, here's an article in your favor.
E Cards (http://www.care2.com/ecards/)- What better way to say "I love you" than an ecard? Use these ecards, from the care 2 website and share your love with enviromental charities as well.
History of Valentine's Day (http://www.history.com/minisites/valentine/)- This won't help you with your upcoming history test, but it is interesting.
Proposal stories (http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/28757125)- A gallery full of cute proposal stories that viewers of the Today show sent in.
Until next week,

New Year's Resolution #4: Get Healthy!
Hi Everyone!
Hope everybody's doing well and looking forward to a dreary February... spent getting healthy?
After my New Year's resolution posts on charity giving, studying, and organization, I am now on my last post for this "series". Ironically, this is the post in which I have decided to cover by far the most popular resolution last.
It may seem a bit strange that going online can help out your health, especially considering the only things that can really improve your health are eating right and excersise, but there are online tools that truly can help you get healthy, including:
BMI calculator (http://kidshealth.org/teen/food_fitness/dieting/bmi.html)- BMI stands for body mass index and can help you determine if you are the right weight for your height and age. It's important when calculating the BMI of a teen to use a calculator made especially for teens who are still growing, like this one.
Gimme 20 (http://www.gimme20.com/fitnesstools)- This site has online fitness tools, including a workout builder and measurement tracker.Goal Setting courtesy of
Justin Sachs (http://www.justinsachsonline.com/Landing_Pages/A_New_You.html)- This is a teleseminar about goal setting, courtesy of Justin Sachs, one of dekoposh's DAPL.
Gyminee (http://www.gyminee.com/)- This site also features a workout builder and can also help you calculate your fitness progress. Nutritional info and a food dairy are available as well. The basic account is free.
Nutrition Data (http://www.nutritiondata.com/)- I love this site! It gives you a complete nutritional analysis of almost every food you can think of and allows you to calculate the nutritional info of your favorite recipes. While these numbers aren't exact (don't obsess), they can help give you an idea of the nutrients in what you're eating.
And last but not least, there is also my website, http://www.aurelieshealthycuisine.com (see http://www.aurelieshealthycuisine.com/articles for healthy eating articles).
Stay tuned for a nice, long, fun-orientated post next week!
