How to get a Home Business Education with 2 Goals and 3 Steps

HOW to GET a HOME BUSINESS EDUCATION with 2 GOALS and 3 STEPS

Before you can hope to be successful in any business, you have to understand that business. You need to know how to contact your potential customers and get them interested. Whether you are offering a product or a service, people have to understand what it is, why they need it and why they should get it from you.

If your opportunity is also about how to start a low-cost home business, time effectively, then your customers also need a simple home business educational primer.

Traditionally, people gain a comprehensive overview of important subjects for general education by graduating high school. Career training or professional development comes through university programs. Tuition fees are generally high and time-commitment expansive from a couple to several years and post-education debt-loads can be overwhelming.


But what about if you want to learn new skills such as setting up a profitable home business?
Traditionally, you can take extra courses at a local college or evening high school programs, if available.
You can enroll in a distance education course with regular help and evaluations. You can do a self-help program in marketing and personal development. Online education can provide a base of knowledge to run a home business and most customers or future business partners can also deal with these strategies at their own learning rate. But how many other people will follow our example in learning about a home business?

Or you can try to learn business steps through hearsay by following the leader…a fellow generalist who tries to model after a trained specialist…a guru leader. There are too many unknown variables to make this experiment consistently successful.

However, with the unique home business model called network marketing your profits are based on multi-level application of a simple business plan. It is the business concept itself that needs to be duplicated and primary, basic, essential training is a given for just about anyone who wants to achieve success. Examples:
  • how to put the materials into practical application on day one
  • how to make a careful judgment about how your business grows (an overview)
  • how to market on the internet
  • how to market offline to people with traditional methods
  • how to properly train to attain personal goals
  • how to use 10 daily affirmations to empower personal belief system
  • how to explain complex business relationships with visual "signs"
  • how to integrate four fastest growing home business trends

The ultimate plan is with proper training, a home business entrepreneur can move above mediocrity and instability.

What if financial security can be based on a simple home business education that starts with a basic curriculum guide: Mini-Program for Maxi-Profits?


Let’s see how this fits into our concept of 2 Goals and 3 Steps for a Home Business Plan:

Draw two goal posts and join them with a straight line…the shortest distance between two points or goals:


HERE: GOAL #1: Reasons I don’t want to be here (current reality)
THERE: GOAL #2: Reasons I want to be there (future independent lifestyle

Now what’s the easiest, straightest way to travel from HERE to THERE.


1. Educate and Empower ..I understand the business concepts about this home business and I CAN DO THIS! YOU CAN DO THIS!
2. Plug into a successful network marketing company for valuable products and commissions.
3. Use a simple 3 Steps Marketing Plan for leverage, duplication and long term residual income. Enjoy a lifestyle with time and money freedom

It doesn’t get simpler than this for education, focus, motivation, action steps, and home business success.

Questions and comments are always appreciated,

Make your Home Business Choice: 10-Step Cha-Cha-Cha or 3-Step Shuffle?

Your Home Business choice: 10 Step Cha-Cha-Cha or 3-Step Shuffle?

No one ever said starting a business would be easy, but once you make the decision to start one, it’s all you can think about. You’ve probably checked out numerous home business opportunities. Here is an interesting analogy to help your decision making process

10 Step CHA-CHA-CHA for Home Business Professionals



STEP 1: Do What You Love…GREAT IDEA
Believe in something you can share with others to make their lives better


STEP 2: Do Your Homework
Prepare a cash flow plan with accountant…budget..expenses.. return on investment.Make sure you have enough money and resources.


STEP 3: Create a business Plan
Set short term and long term goals, prepare for setbacks, source of funding, marketing expenses. Use templates for step by step creation.



STEP 4: Research the market: Are people already paying someone for the product or service you want to offer? What is your Unique Selling Proposition? Competitive Edge? Find out what your competitors are doing—
Always try and offer something that no other company provides or fulfills a solution to a problem or need It’s called staying on the “cutting edge”



STEP 5: Set a Realistic Price: If you create your own product, make sure the price you set is based on presentation, statistics, and credibility. Pretend you are the client and you are looking for something fair, competitive, and sensible. Always take overhead and production costs into consideration to include the final price to ensure you make a profit.



STEP 6: Create Your Image, Brand or Logo Your image or brand will define your product or service and is one of your most important assets and how people will talk about your company. Don’t spare the expense here. You want to set positive first impressions and opinions…Will a potential customer want to recommend or return?



STEP 7: Create Professional Informational Material:
Be ready to distribute one-page flyers or brochures or an informational website. Make sure your look is updated to attract new business.



STEP 8. Plan Your Strategy. Set up a business plan that outlines the details of your business, organization, overall goals, trouble-shooting, and how to track and measure results. This Business Process is essential to streamline and help you avoid potential problems. Customers appreciate efficiency and ease of use.


STEP 9: Your Marketing Plan ..this is the BIG ONE! THE GRAND FINALE! THE BIGGEST EXPENSE to fit into your budget! Lack of marketing is the #1 reason why any business fails.

This includes some complex maneuvers such as advertising channels at the local level, reaching your primary target audience, joining local chambers of commerce, leads groups and/or business organizations to develop strong business relationships for qualified leads and referrals, checking out Business Directories. This is for offline advertising..and now, of course all the new online marketing to establish brand awareness..blogs, websites, social media….this is huge and if done well deserves massive applause from a massive audience.

STEP 10: Stay Positive…wow this is very important after all these steps
This is a standard expectation…To think positive…don’t let doubt or fear interfere with your goals..even when it gets rough, as it surely well from time to time. Keep steering..as long as your compass is set with careful planning and a well thought out strategy, you will reach the final destination of business success.




I’m thinking of the comparison now between another very popular TV show Dancing with the Stars. Those dancers are so professional and so successful with all those amazing steps and strategies..it boggles the mind..can we ever learn to be that successful?

But I’m not a business professional..and I don't have months or years but I still deserve an equal chance to dance, to dare, to dream, to be the best Ican be, to create a beautiful life for myself and my family…



For me , a 3-step Shuffle will do just fine as long as I get results…more and more profits for my efforts. I want the opportunity to plug into a successful company and they do the "heavy work" for me…


manufacturing, researching, pricing, competive cutting-edges, shipping, accounting, branding, promotional materials, accounting, back office administration.


In return I will help to market and recommend their products and get paid multiple commissions.

Therefore, the home business marketing plan becomes the key to my success…and a 3-Step Plan or Strategy is something I can learn easily:


STEP 1. Educate..get the facts so I know what to do
STEP 2. Empower..get the belief system..I’m good..I can do this..
STEP 3. Change is now very real and exciting…a sizzle phone call, an amazing network marketing company and extraordinary product.


The stars are within MY reach now
My judgment is my choice..will I? …won’t I? …wonder what if?..celebrate?
It’s my choice…my fortune..my legacy…
