There is no happiness except in the realization that we
have accomplished something. <BR> --Henry Ford
Too often we are reminded of the staggering failure rate of
those who start a home business, and attempt to answer the
cry of their entrepreneurial spirit, as it raises it's
voice in a beckoning cry to be heard. The discouraging
statistics are big enough to cause many who desire to work
from home, to quickly change their course and retreat back
to the dreadful rat race we call Corporate America. But,
have you ever considered, just like anything else, there is
a correct and incorrect way to operate a home business? If
your goal is to operate a home business correctly, then you
must first have the correct key ingredients in place.
It's been said that many home businesses fail because lack
of, or inadequate leadership. If your seeking proper
leadership in a home business, your are probably seeking
the wrong ingredient. Though leadership is good, and
highly necessary, when you settle for good leadership
alone, you settle for the good and not the best. The good
shows up at your door as a counterfeit, and you buy into
it, never benefiting from the best.
I can hear you now..."Who in the world has qualified this
gent to make such statements...why everyone knows that
leadership if anything is a must". I am confident that you
will clearly agree with me in a few moments Here are some
crucial ingredients that must be in place when considering
a home business:
# 1 - The Company Must Provide a Solid Income Opportunity.
While there are many reason's why people everywhere are
starting a Home Business everyday. It is impossible not to
acknowledge the truth that without a financial reward,
there would be no home businesses, neither Corporate
America for that matter. Yes, there is room for volunteer
work, but you can't go buy groceries with volunteered
hours, you need money or a representation thereof.
Here are some keys to consider.
A) When there is a purchase of your product, or service,
are you paid substantially more then it cost you to attain
the purchasing customer.
B) Is the financial reward large enough for your business
to almost immediately become self sustaining, and place you
into immediate profits.
C) Is there a proven system in place that you can plug
into and place your Business on Auto Pilot.
These are all crucial factors which will ultimately
determine your success or failure. Usually when someone
starts a home business, it is to make enough money to have
more free time with their families. So the most important
ingredient that must be addressed is the Financial Reward
associated with each transaction when a purchase is made.
Failure to address this can cost you so much more than you
bargain for in the short run. I say short run, because
there will not be a long run. You won't make it.
# 2 - Will your leadership offer a personal hands on touch
in the beginning and through out the life of your business
to better ensure your success.
It's been said that a relationship without communication is
to have music without sound, you have nothing at all. This
truth has been echoed by a like truth which states that
communication either builds bridges or walls. I will
journey quite a bit further and say that a very hands on
high touch approach to communication will prove to be the
most effective way of communication, thus establishing the
strongest bridge that will better ensure your success.
I touched on leadership, and referred to it as the good and
not the best. The key ingredient that you should look for
beyond leadership, is mentorship. Think about it. Who
leads the company that you now work for? Can you quote
their name? But, do you know them personally? If so,
chances are that the company is small, and your dreams are
much bigger than any opportunity that the company could
ever provide you. Either way, you get the picture.
Leadership is something that in many cases will take place
from a distance. While mentorship in order to be true, it
must be personal.
Go to the people. Learn from them. Live with them. Start
with what they know. Build with what they have. The best of
leaders when the job is done, when the task is
accomplished, the people will say we have done it
ourselves. --Lao Tzu
This my friend is Mentorship!
# 3 - Is there a No Cost, Low Cost Proven Marketing System
that you merely plug into.
Every business, every endeavor, every topic, whether for
fun or profit only happens if it gets marketed in some way.
No matter how great your business, product, or service is,
if it is not effectively marketed in the proper way, then
the only guarantee that you have is failure.
Don't let this frighten you in the lease bit. Effective no
cost, low cost marketing is not rocket science neither does
it require 1% of the financial resources that even a
measly education will cost you to attain.
We have all heard that word of mouth advertising is the
most effective method of advertising. This is true for
countless of reasons. However, this is not the preferred
method that you and I desire to forge. Neither will it be.
Take note however, that word of mouth advertising costs
you nothing but a few words of recommendation, coupled with
time. That's a whole lot better than hundreds or even
thousands of dollars in paid advertising with the inability
to accurately determined the results.
Many of the top income earners of home business simply know
how to use no cost and low cost marketing strategies' and
techniques very effectively. Take this country for
example, and all the great liberties, opportunities, and
resources which we enjoy everyday, because of the power of
freedom. Now, consider all the possibility, opportunity,
and liberty that is up for grabs in the freedom of no cost
(FREE) low cost marketing. There are many home business
owners who rely on no cost low cost marketing alone, some
who never spend a dime on marketing, yet are generating six
figures a year and some more than that. Remember the
difference between you and those whom I just mentioned is
the how to, the proper execution of the how to, and time.
How would you like to take control of your life, time,
finances, live the life that you've always dreamed of, and
at the same time be rewarded very handsomely for simply
plugging into a proven system, which is working for
thousands nationally and internationally.
