Please review and rate?

Deep down inside I hope you like my article written to business startups, and home-based entrepreneur or any hopefuls of same.

The style is perfectly ok and suitable to the topic. But here are a few nits I have picked. Sorry I did not have enough patience to go through the whole thing...

It is no more a sin to be in good financial health as it is... 'THAN it is'

It's what your goals and intentions are, that ... Comma not required

the hand of which man has laid his hand upon. Look at this again to see if it makes sense.

you most certainly do deserve it. What is 'it' ? Prosperity, I think, but the noun is so far away from the pronoun that it need to be repeated.

One needs merely look . One NEED merely look - I don't know why, but this is the usual idiom.

to each of it's most currently do-able units... ITS (no apostrophe needed)

Good luck...
