Though operationally it looks like a simple business model, the following questions need serious understanding. How do you find a reliable drop shipper? How to successfully upload and price a product? What is the guarantee of product delivery to your customers? There are several other factors that may come up in your mind which could be essential to your business success. Well, it is not all that difficult to get answers to the above queries if you spend some time researching and understanding the subject matter. You will notice that it is easy to understand why drop shipping has become more popular, as it reduces the number of times an item has to be handled before it gets to the end customer. If however, you still feel that it is a tedious manual process, then you can consider a completely automated working system that ensures a smooth operation. All that you need to do is get a hosting plan, find a good domain name for your business and install a plugin that automates your business 24x7. With some little effort, you too can start a Home Business and reap the benefits of this exciting supply chain management process. Many of my readers and business partners will most likely not have any idea as to what Qigong actually is. When asked by people what it is I do, and I respond by telling them that I am a 'Qigong Man', many don't know what it is. The first association they make is to the practice of Tai Qi. Tai Qi has been pretty mainstream in the English speaking world since the 1960's. Until then it was just something that Asian people practiced in parks in the morning. A mysteriously slow moving set of exercises that looked totally boring! Since its inception into our mainstream culture, compounded with the scientific revelations of its various physical, emotional, and spiritual benefits; Tai Qi has grown to wide popularity here in the U. , and has since influenced many devoted followers and students in its many forms and schools. Now Qigong is the new kid on the energetic block, and although it may be new for many people here in the U. , Qigong has ancient roots that pre-date both Tai Qi and Acupuncture, and is commonly referred to by practitioners as the oldest branch of chinese medicine. Other branches include acupuncture, herbal medicine, tui na (massage), cupping, and dermabrasion (Gua Sha). I like to refer to Qigong as the 'mother of Tai Qi. ' It is an ancient meditative mind/body movement practice that works with subtle energetic vibrations in the universe that help promote health, balance, and longevity. Qigong literally translates as 'work on one's life force', and there are a few different Qigong training schools: martial, spiritual, and medical. Depending on your inclination, your teacher, and your ultimate path - you will most likely find yourself training in one of the three primary Qigong applications. A little from all three is the most attractive for me, and although I am more drawn to the spiritual advancement in Qigong and to my ability to contain larger amounts of 'healing Qi', I don't deny the importance of having a strong defense and the ability to apply Qigong to its martial uses as well. Now as I can only speak from my own experience, I believe there are a few things that the potential student should educate him/herself with, prior to engaging in a devoted Qigong practice. This is because these ancient practices are extremely powerful and if practiced incorrectly will further exacerbate any conditions or 'Qi Deviations' in your body. All of which could ultimately lead to more severe diseases and internal physical breakdown of your vital organs. These patterns can be altered, and this is simply meant to make you more aware of HOW you are practicing. Basically, if Qi is flowing in the wrong direction before you start a practice, and you begin to increase that flow through your daily practice, does this mean you are correcting the Qi Deviation, or merely enhancing your own wrong actions? We may not know we are in fact moving in wrong action, but in the end your body will not lie.
