The two most important areaswhere you have to make changes are your thinking and habits. At times, thechallenge of making these changes will seem overwhelming. But given time, youwill settle into the changes and they will become part of who you are.   This process is much like the settling a newhouse goes through.   ANew House Experience   AfterThanksgiving of last year, we moved into our new house. We watched it be builtfrom the ground up, from digging the hole in the ground for the foundation, tothe house being ready for us to move in.   Ourbuilder does a 30 day check after you move in. They visit you to make sureeverything is working like it’s suppose to, and if there are any problems, theyfix them.   Jonathon,the builder representative, came by our house the other day. We had a few thingsto tell them about. One of our complaints was condensation on the aluminum windows.The condensation was so bad, puddles actually collected on the window sills andyou had to use a towel to wipe them up.   Jonathonsaid that he gets that complaint all the time, especially during this time ofyear (winter, not that you have much of a winter in Texas). We had a couple of “long”bouts of “very cold” weather that were unusual for this time of year. That’swhen we noticed the condensation the most.   It’sA Physics Thing   Jonathonexplained that the reason we had condensation on the windows was because of thehumidity in the house. The inside of the house is warmer than outside, so thewindows sweat as the temperatures try to equalize.   It’sthe same principle when you set out a glass filled with a cold beverage.Because the surrounding air temperature is warmer than the beverage, the glasswill start to sweat as the beverage and air try to equalize their temperatures.   Thehumidity in the house is high because all the materials in the house have waterin them, from the framing, dry wall, paint, etc. So if you were to pick up thehouse and wring it out like a towel, tons of water would come out.   Asthe house dries out over time, there is less humidity. The house begins tosettle, and if the house is built well, the integrity of the house will “tighten”and improve. The condensation on the windows will eventually stop.   HumanNature Mimics Science   Althoughit’s more about human nature than physics, the same concept happens when you becomean online entrepreneur.   Ifyou were to wring yourself out, you would squeeze out a quite a number of oldhabits you have to replace with new ones. As you replace the old habits withnew ones, there will be fewer old habits to squeeze out and clean up. And, you’rebuilding your integrity as an online entrepreneur along the way.   Althoughbecoming an online entrepreneur may not always be easy, rest assured that asyou wring out the old habits and make the necessary changes in your thinkingand habits, you are becoming better. Before you know it, you’ll be rocking thehouse.   HappyBusiness Building, Yoli Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;} Yolanda Allen is a retired AirForce   officer & online entrepreneur.Read Yolanda's blog,http://www.OnlineBusinessPlankOwner.com.
