The Commercialization of Holidays - HAPPY EASTER

No matter what the holiday, modern society has found a way to commercialize it and turn it into something far from its real meaning. I’m not going to get into the finer details of what all of the religious holidays mean to me and my Christian faith, but I will apply an analogy for Easter to the building of an online business. Or more specific, to the opportunity for someone to start an online business.

In simple terms Easter is about a new beginning, the day Jesus resurrected from the dead and became the powerful son of God. This was a new beginning, a new way for man to come to God. Now I will admit that I too have jumped on the commercialization bandwagon when it comes to my online businesses. I sell many items during Christmas and today during my daily sharing of links on Twitter I equated the new beginning of Easter with a new beginning for those wishing to start a new online venture. A new beginning by joining WA and starting a new online experience.

So when you are sitting down with family and friends this Easter weekend, take your smartphones, tablets or laptops out and SHOW people your websites. Show them what your “new beginning” is all about and how the education you have received from WA has made it possible for you to have your own website without programming it. Who knows, perhaps you will get some referrals and that can be a new beginning for both you and the person who joins up.

HAVE A HAPPY EASTER TO ALL OF MY WA FAMILY.

My daughter's birthday is tomorrow in addition to our Easter celebration. Most of my family doesn't formally celebrate Easter, but we always recognize Spring and new beginnings and subtly mention Christ's resurrection as the reason we're getting together. My daughter's birthday is always a reason for celebration because she has almost died so many times.


My family loves my website and I plan on bringing IPad to share some new things I've learned. Thank you for sharing and reminding us that there is always hope on the horizon of tomorrow. TNT

Sorry to hear that about your daughter. Everyone of her birthdays should be a new beginning of another year. Happy birthday to her and Happy Easter to you all.

Great blog. You just gave me more ideas. Thanks w bunch.. And have a Happy Easter as well.

You are welcome Maricel. I am happy that it has helped you with more ideas. Enjoy your Easter. :-)

Thanks a Trillion Boomer. God is a warrior against all evil. He will save a loser and he loves a winner. Happy Easter!!!!!!

You're welcome William and a Happy Easter to you too!

Very interesting analogy...whenever I have the opportunity, I always share what I am doing at WA be it a holiday or not. It's something that we all can be proud to share. Thanks for your post.

You're welcome. Yeah that analogy just popped into my head this morning as I was sharing my daily affiliate link on Twitter.

You know what, you've read my mind. My mother is coming for supper on Sunday and I can't wait to show her. And today, my hubby and I went to Lego Store with some new friends from a Lego club and I promote my site. I'm proud of what I've done so far and proud to train with WA and be part of this community. So a BIG YES to talk about it.

That's great Annie! May you find success.

I just left you a comment on your website. That Lego City is AWESOME! I could see myself having a lot of fun building that! If I had the extra space I would do that in a heartbeat.

Great post, Robert! I couldn't agree with you more. Enjoy your weekend. Will you spend time with your family?

Thank you Kary! No this weekend, or I should say Easter Sunday, I will be spending it with Mother Nature at my nearby state park outside in the warm 60 degree sunshine. Yes I know, 60 degrees may not seem that warm but after this past winter anything feels warm. lol I hope it's warming up by you too.

That sounds like a nice day. We are supposed to see 70 in Michigan tomorrow. It could be a nice sunny day ;)

In my religion there's this testimony that said : God loves rich people, but He loves rich and kindhearted people even more. It means not everything about commercialization. The heart must comes first, no matter what! But then again there's nothing wrong with a little business promo here and there, it show that you are smart too. So God loves rich, kindhearted and smart people even more. How awesome is that?

Thanks for this Robert.. Happy Easter for you and your love ones!

Thank you gusti! You have a Happy Easter too! :-)

Hi Robert - thanks again for an insightful post. Hope the bunny brings you lots of chocolate eggs!

Suz

You are welcome and thank you Suz! I hope those chocolate eggs are Cadbury Creme Eggs. YUMMY!!! :-)

Congratulations you certainly do wonderful comprehensive presentations

Thank you Neil. I like to converse with people either through writing or speaking with them. So I tend to write the way I speak with people. :-)

Thanks Robert. I agree with you, we need to keep our heart open, and try and keep the commercialization to a minimum!

This is true Terea but a little promoting of our online businesses here and there is still a good thing too. :-)

There is a time and place for everything.

I said to a minimum, not out! A bit of sharing our success is part of family fun, right? I look at the pics of your children and you look at my website! Only fair. My kids are too old to show pictures of!

Exactly! They share their photos and you share your website. Sharing is caring. :-)
