TEN UNIQUE LESSONS TO MAKE RIGHT DECISION ABOUT HOME BUSINESS...Not The Usual

Are you still searching for a way to make extra money from home? Most home business opportunity seekers note only basic requirements such as low-cost, simple to follow system, retirement planning and tax savings. However, there are several other important considerations to help make the right decision.



ONE: GET EDUCATED. You can expect failure if you start out with a limited understanding of terms and concepts that drive networkers. It is the reason why so many people do not achieve the kind of success they deserve which, in turn, becomes the basis of poor public relations. You can ensure success if you increase your understanding and evaluate the best, easiest way to achieve your goals.

No school or curriculum would operate where beginners are expected to add as graduates. The opposite to learning (failure) is to throw beginners into a complex business without a basic primer and expect unbounded success. And yet with proper education, network marketing can open up to be the last great grassroots free enterprise for every family who wishes for more financial security.



TWO: BE FAIR AND DEMOCRATIC. Network marketing has never been about what degrees you may have, level of experience, background, talent, education, ethnicity, status, biography, or self-belief. It has never been a vehicle of aggrandizement by the few self-branded gurus and their would-be followers. Their egos sadly misinterpret that you cannot duplicate superstars but simple-to-follow systems that everyone can easily do, fairly and democratically.

It has always been about the average person with above average dreams with minimal capital and sweat equity to make a different lifestyle for their families.


THREE: KEEP IT SIMPLE. Network marketing as a home business is based on only 3 KEY PRINCIPLES…no more…no less…so very manageable...if you GET THE BIG PICTURE!


You need to hear this again. The absolute power to achieve financial security is based on these THREE FACTORS ONLY!


Can you name them? Do you follow them? Do you know how to use them correctly?



FOUR: DESERVE A BETTER LIFESTYLE. You see, network marketing is not just about selling a product or service whatever that may be. It is about informing people about a business platform based on 3 key fundamental concepts that can dramatically change their financial well-being and security.


You see, it's simple to say NO to a household product with untried benefits when something similar may be bought at a neighborhood store or the household budget is tight.


But who would say NO to an independent and secure lifestyle to be passed on to future generations?

FIVE: WORK SMARTER. Network marketing has evolved through 60 years of changes drawn from evolving economies.

It is no longer a Mom and Pop operation in a garage. It is technologically advanced with global communications and very skilled mastermind systems.


Recent developments are integrating major e-commerce trends and leveraging internet profits. People can even try out a no-cost shopping service to prove its value before helping to distribute it to others.




SIX: GAIN PUBLIC ACCEPTANCE. We do a serious disservice to this industry. In my opinion, this home business model tends to be presented in the wrong order with an incomplete element that is essential to how this system works or not.

It typically starts with a presentation about a single MLM company. Then a new distributor may sign-up with a starter kit and autoshipment cost, and begin to market to friends, family or online leads with the expectations they will do the same. How has this worked out for you?


The better way is the opposite order. Start with marketing basics…what works…what doesn't. Keep the marketing plan as simple as possible. Practice positive self-beliefs. Now you are ready to share an exciting opportunity by first understanding marketing basics with stronger self-beliefs and a potential home business as a result.


A back-to-basics starter manual will level the playing field for everyone!

It's time to stop the trial and tribulations, lost money, and frustration.


It's madness to think this valuable home based business will gain public acceptance until we take advantage of what works on a massive, EQUAL democratic scale and scrap the difficult limitations.


Run away from any business venture that does not have a well-defined marketing plan, preferably on one page, with which you are comfortable.


SEVEN: SAY "I CAN DO THIS." Network marketing is NOT about information overload or duplicating leaders and magnetic personalities.


Long term residual profits come from a large team with multiple levels of people saying " I CAN DO THIS."


All you really need is a telephone...a computer...and a simple marketing plan with 3-Steps System for Success Plan that everyone can do. Period.


The total plan can be duplicated in an hour with no loss of critical information. It depends as little as possible on the skills of the person delivering it. It can help every person who wants extra income based on democratic, common multi-level marketing concepts. Period.


EIGHT: RETURN TO BASICS. Network Marketing, if returned to basics, is the perfect vehicle for grassroots entrepreneurship.


Let this be your focus. Be more knowledgeable about the industry itself. Keep the study, as usual, short, compact, comprehensive with the simple objectives of showing details, the big picture and exciting potential.

Without it, you will spend endless time and money explaining or defending this home business model.

With it, you'll cover the basics for people without any business experience. It integrates a big picture overview about the changing economy, market trends, power of leverage, duplication multiplication, residual matrix, internet marketing, personal development and much more.

With it, you will save time, money, make a difference and multiply your profits in a very fair, and democratic way.

This home business is meant to work the RIGHT WAY…no fuss, no muss, no travel, no tedious phone calls, no busy team members.


NINE: MAKE A CHOICE. Life is about choices. Change does not start with inspiration but with education.


You have two choices in front of you:

1) Continue to bypass the Information Economy. Miss out on a profitable home business in Network Marketing with a capital asset based on a huge expanding internet market. Forego a simple, time-efficient, low-cost marketing system and a residual stream of life-time income OR...

2) Wonder about it. What if you never find it....that is a truly scary thought.



This is the first day of the rest of your life. Your thought should be...Why NOT me?


TEN: BELIEVE IN YOU. Your success is more important than any reason or excuse you can come up with.

The first step is to learn more about the founding democratic principle built on equality, dignity and success which are the true hallmarks of multi-level or network marketing.


The second step is to believe with all your heart that every family deserves equal opportunity for success even if biographical conditions are unequal.


Success is 99% mental and you need to work harder on yourself than anyone else. Understand that nothing happens in the physical world, until there is a change in the emotional, invisible world of your mind.


As true networkers, we believe in YOU.


We believe you are an exceptional person who may not yet have uncovered their true potential. We don't think you want to continue arguing with life's limitations. We think you will not accept excuses not to be knowledgeable...but find it and apply it.

We believe you can empower and help others with this right information.


I look forward to sharing your thoughts about our motto. Do you believe every family deserves the right to a fair, democratic home business?  You are invited to discover how to shop, save and earn home-based income by giving away a free valuable shopping service that saves money. 512 404 1270

How a simple plan keeps Personal Enemies at Bay in my Home Business

How a Simple 3-Step Plan Keeps Personal Enemies at Bay in my Home Business

One of the foremost philosophers for home business entrepreneurs is Jim Rohn. Nobody can craft the English language…personalize abstract concepts to concrete forms or metaphors to better understand a bigger, more integrated process.

Starting a home business is a huge undertaking and long term process. There will be the invisible fears and unknowns to haunt you and no one can materialize them like this favorite essay by Jim.

As a home business entrepreneur, we all face the apparitions in both quiet moments and hectic paces..what have I got myself into...what am I going to do next..what will others think..

But my home business is built on strong network marketing principles. My defenses are well fortified by a simple basic business plan...3 strong pillars; namely,

• education first so you know the main facts
• empowerment to believe you can win
• an exciting change that is welcome and anticipated

Ignorance cannot make a stand against education.
Excuses can not penetrate the shield of self-empowerment.

Change will not be a heavy door to hammer through but a wide archway and beckoning light to freedom and a brighter future for your whole family.

Your comments and questions are always appreciated...what are some of your personal enemies?

Facing the Enemies Within...

By Jim Rohn

We are not born with courage, but neither are we born with fear.
Maybe some of our fears are brought on by your own experiences, by
what someone has told you, by what you've read in the papers. Some
fears are valid, like walking alone in a bad part of town at two
o'clock in the morning. But once you learn to avoid that situation,
you won't need to live in fear of it.

Fears, even the most basic ones, can totally destroy our ambitions.
Fear can destroy fortunes. Fear can destroy relationships. Fear, if
left unchecked, can destroy our lives. Fear is one of the many
enemies lurking inside us.

Let me tell you about five of the other enemies we face from within.

The first enemy that you've got to destroy before it destroys you
is indifference.

What a tragic disease this is. "Ho-hum, let it slide. I'll just
drift along." Here's one problem with drifting: you can't drift
your way to the top of the mountain.

The second enemy we face is indecision.

Indecision is the thief of opportunity and enterprise. It will
steal your chances for a better future. Take a sword to this enemy.

The third enemy inside is doubt.

Sure, there's room for healthy skepticism. You can't believe
everything. But you also can't let doubt take over. Many people
doubt the past, doubt the future, doubt each other, doubt the
government, doubt the possibilities and doubt the opportunities.
Worse of all, they doubt themselves. I'm telling you, doubt will
destroy your life and your chances of success. It will empty both
your bank account and your heart. Doubt is an enemy Go after it.
Get rid of it.

The fourth enemy within is worry.

We've all got to worry some. Just don't let it conquer you.
Instead, let it alarm you. Worry can be useful. If you step off the
curb in New York City and a taxi is coming, you've got to worry.
But you can't let worry loose like a mad dog that drives you into a
small corner. Here's what you've got to do with your worries: drive
them into a small corner. Whatever is out to get you, you've got to
get it. Whatever is pushing on you, you've got to push back.

The fifth interior enemy is over-caution.

It is the timid approach to life. Timidity is not a virtue; it's an
illness. If you let it go, it'll conquer you. Timid people don't
get promoted. They don't advance and grow and become powerful in
the marketplace. You've got to avoid over-caution.

Do battle with the enemy. Do battle with your fears. Build your
courage to fight what's holding you back, what's keeping you from
your goals and dreams. Be courageous in your life and in your
pursuit of the things you want and the person you want to become.

An Old Classic, A Contrary Poem and a Valuable Lesson for your Successful Home Business

I love stories and so many times they harbor greater truths that can permeate more complex ventures like starting a profitable home business.

Most of us are familiar with the story The Little Engine that Could. It is a classic story that teaches the value of optimism and hard work. You may even say it is a metaphor of self-discovery…that if you believe hard enough in your dream you can achieve it.

In the story, a long train must be pulled over a high mountain. Various larger engines are asked to pull the train; but for various reasons they refuse. The request is sent to a small engine, who agrees to try. The engine succeeds in pulling the train over the mountain while repeating its motto: "I-think-I-can".

I think a short version of the story is worth repeating.

A happy little switch railroad engine was employed to pull a few cars on and off the switches…it was built small for that purpose. One morning it was waiting for the next call when a long train of freight-cars asked a large engine in the roundhouse to take it over the mountain. There were hungry children waiting for food and toys. "I can't; that is too much a pull for me," said the great engine built for hard work. Then the train asked another engine, and another, only to hear excuses and be refused. Each one had their own heart felt excuse…
I’m too grand… I’m too important… I’m too old… I’m too busy… I’m not smart enough
In desperation, the train asked the little switch engine to draw it up the steep mountainside and down the other side to help the waiting children.
"I think I can," puffed the little locomotive, and hitched itself in front of the great heavy train. As it went on, and the grade got steeper and steeper, the little engine kept bravely puffing faster and faster, "I think I can, I think I can, I think I can."
As it neared the top of the mountain, which had so discouraged the larger engines, it went more slowly. It was hard...the little engine was gasping for air. However, it still kept saying, "I--think--I--can, I---think---I---can, I----think----I----can.”
Finally, it reached the top with its last great lunge and unbroken bravery. “Yes, I can do it!” was the triumphant cry. Then down the mountain side it sped, congratulating itself by saying, "I thought I could, I thought I could. I thought I could."

MORAL: An unbreakable belief in YOU will rise to the occasion and save the day.

Now, here’s another look at the same situation by one of my favorite poets, Shel Silverstein (1932-1999). He has developed a repertoire of somewhat satirical but whimsical ways of looking at the ordinary things.

The Little Blue Engine

The little blue engine looked up at the hill.

His light was weak, his whistle was shrill.

He was tired and small, and the hill was tall

,And his face blushed red as he softly said,“I think I can, I think I can, I think I can.”

So he started up with a chug and a strain,

And he puffed and pulled with might and main.

And slowly he climbed, a foot at a time,

And his engine coughed as he whispered soft,“I think I can, I think I can, I think I can.”

With a squeak and a creak and a toot and a sigh,

With an extra hope and an extra try,

He would not stop — now he neared the top —

And strong and proud he cried out loud,“I think I can, I think I can, I think I can!”

He was almost there, when — CRASH! SMASH! BASH!

He slid down and mashed into engine hash

On the rocks below... which goes to show

If the track is tough and the hill is rough,THINKING you can just ain’t enough!

MORAL: Can’t think your way out of problems, you must TAKE ACTION that are different from the problem. In other words, you can’t solve problems with the same thinking that created them.

SO WHAT IS THE VALUABLE LESSON for a SUCCESSFUL HOME BUSINESS?

At least a couple:

First, about self-development and dreams…

There are limitless resources about self-development strategies or how to self-actualize your powers to be and overcome Life’s balancing acts.

Countless self-development “gurus” have created fortunes for themselves on the foundation that people are insufficient within themselves to realize their potential, and they need to be prodded, envisioned, molded like clay by masterful hands into someone special.

All kinds of self-empowerment tools can be found such as motivational toolkits, emotional bank-accounts, vibrational medicine, guilt-free relationship plans, ego joy mind-maps, psycho-spiritual integration, manifest destiny, divine guidance, and interpreting the secret behind the secret.

To some extent, these gurus are helpful to show there is far more to living well than advertisements, reality shows, money, or fame. It is pushing yourself beyond pre-set limitations and finding joy in small things like “the finding of heaven in a grain of sand” that makes all the difference.

Second, about actions and dreams…

The one valuable lesson I have gleaned from a few decades of life is the importance of TAKING ACTION with a SIMPLE PLAN.

..nothing moves until something moves (Robert Ringer…an entire book)

..the shortest distance between where you are and where you want to be is a straight l.ine of action (Mark Joyner… an entire psychology of daily steps)

Nothing develops self-esteem, motivation, goal-setting like SUCCESSFUL ACTIONS.

Nothing increases your odds for success than PRACTICE and SIMPLICITY.

Of course, you will be excited if your simple action plans are productive and make extra income from home. Of course, you will try even harder to get more positive results. The more you get, the more you’ll try…this is not rocket science or reams of psycho-therapy.

The only self-discovery, self-empowerment or self-motivation tool you need is YOU based on a simple ACTION PLAN THAT DELIVERS.

Just imagine you were making a 5-digit monthly income? I think you will find all kinds of ways to celebrate your new self-confidence and lessons in living well.

Always standing by to talk,

A Home Based Business Can Be Like High School..HOW NOT TO FAIL.

A Home Based Business can be just like high school..how not to fail!

Remember your high school days. Would you live through them again, as a fresh-faced fifteen year old again? Personally I would say “ No Thanks” UNLESS I could bring the accumulated wisdom of 50 years as intellectual reinforcement.

I was thinking about the teaching/learning process and it struck me that creating a home business resembles high school in many ways…its ups and downs, insecurities, efforts, recognition, trials and tribulations, and the final goal of graduation.

Think back for a moment...You pass from elementary grades to enter high school ... with high anticipation and some trepidation. You think somehow just being there is going to change your life in so many positive ways. Then a few weeks into the routine, you realize it's just harder work, less help and a bunch of “upper classmen” who try to make the experience more difficult for you. You start to doubt that perhaps your previous skills aren’t strong enough to compare with so many other students. Others make better grades and more recognition while you get by with basic standards even with concentrated effort. You find all kinds of cliques or groups of like-minded people who huddle close together, leaving everyone else out in the cold. Peer pressure determines your social and self-perception levels.

Does this ring a bell?

I know people who have started a home business with great hopes and promises of wealth and success in their heads. “Make a million in your pajamas... Sleep all day and earn thousands... Quit your day job and get rich!” Some make it look easy but there are reasons that are not available to the average person. Does this ring a bell?

Entering high school is like starting a new home business.
At the start, our primary and intermediate schoolings provides us with good basic and people skills.
At the end, the triumph of graduation or a profitable home business can set new goals to make more income and more success.

But what happens in the first few months of starting can also determine potential for graduation and success. If the basic foundational skills are missing, then graduation is difficult or impossible.

Could this be the reason why the network marketing home business, with such amazing proven potential, has a failure rate of over 95%!

It should be the other way around where 95% should succeed!

For a teacher, this is inexcusable. It’s not the students who fail...it is the teacher or the methodology that fails. No curriculum starts at graduate levels with limited understanding, outside of hype and promises, and expects mastery. No student is expected to be a “magnetic” teacher in their own right to “lead” other inexperienced followers to victory.

It is time to smarten up this home based industry and give people a fair opportunity for success with proper teaching fundamentals.

Here's a beginning curriculum:

1. Start with a primer…basic vocabulary, concepts, comparisons, summary

2. Learn intermediate strategies…examples
…compare two kinds of home businesses
…old school marketing versus new school marketing
…self-improvement exercise for self-motivation, power of actions to control emotions,
practice makes perfect, long term mindset, relationship marketing, etc.

3. Now you’re ready to enter high school and graduate with honors and realize your dreams.

However, it is still not your obligation to teach others…let the professionals do that on your behalf. Go out and enjoy living.

Education must be simple, sequential, self-affirmative, congratulatory and joyful.

It is not about cliques or teams, popularity, competition, the athletic, the gifted, where the strongest survive and profit. It is an equal and democratic standard where everyone can learn, apply and thrive.

The network marketing home business model provides the essential structure for the right education, empowerment and change.

Let's see if your school and/or business experiences relate.

Sincerely,
AnneMarie
