You can not control the national economy. If interest rates rise, jobs are outsourced overseas, unemployment increases and political decisions negatively impact our economy, there is nothing you, personally, can do about it. You can only control your own personal economy.
Would it not be better if you were in control of what you do and how much you are paid? Well, of course it would be better. You can start to regain control of your life, your freedoms and your financial well-being with a home based business. Learn the benefits of time freedom and lifestyle choices, how to leverage time and money, how technology will benefit you, and much more. It's time you took back control of your life and started making decisions that benefit you and your family.
Undoubtedly, you may have read these kinds of statements and, perhaps, they raised some concerns. But also, perhaps, there was some confusion because there was no clear direction what to do next to remediate some of these concerns.
One of the best lessons to use when contemplating important and complex facts is to DRAW A CONCEPT MAP. A volume of words is reduced to a simple diagram with connections and resolutions are easier to see and plan. I sincerely hope you get a pencil or pen and DO this exercise…getting a web of ideas on paper will make a difference, guaranteed.
Start by drawing a stick figure to represent YOU. Now you will draw a set of blocks beside you, one at a time, each labeled with a different reason for a strong personal economy. Inside each block note the keywords.
Draw BLOCK # 1: Label it TIME FLEXIBILITY.
Have you ever noticed that there always seems to be a trade-off between the journey for success and the price you and your loved ones end up paying for it? It's always been more time pursuing money, less time for everything else.
Believe it or not, many people want MORE TIME to do what they enjoy in their life, as much as they want more money…especially busy professionals.
The typical job, business, or corporate ladder may NOT provide the time freedom you are ultimately pursuing.
Home-based businesses, using the power of technology and the Internet, can give you MORE time.
Think about it… would you rather work your life around your business or the other way around….work your business around your life?
KEYWORDS: busy, more time, home-based business.
Draw BLOCK #2: Label it LEVERAGE.
Most employers understand Leverage. If you're an employer, you leverage the work of your employees.
Today's NEW style of home-based business is also all about leverage.
In a home- based business you can leverage Technology to maximize your efforts. The individual can enjoy the same type of leverage traditionally available to select groups of people.
You can leverage your efforts through strategic relationships to create unlimited monthly residual income. This is where the Internet has really changed business in the last couple of years. Smart people harness the power of Today's Technology in their home business. You can now work at home with today's low cost technology that gives you all the capabilities of a large corporation.
The Internet is completely changing how people are doing business. It allows you to work all types of business from home to anywhere in the world and make VERY good money doing it.Once you learn how to apply these two principles to your NEW style of home based business, your only regret will be that someone didn't show you how to do this sooner.
KEYWORDS: technology, internet.
Draw BLOCK #3: Label it LIFESTYLE.
Do you have a lifestyle now that really turns you on? Did you forget that a great lifestyle was even possible? Most people don't have the lifestyle they want. And most have forgotten that's even possible.
Lifestyle is about living where you want to live and having the money to do the things you really enjoy when you want to do them.
A successful home business allow you to design your life on your terms… everything from where you live, to what you do, and even how much you make. It's all in your control.
Most of us only need a phone and the computer to connect with our business… and we can get connected just about anywhere!
KEYWORDS: design your life, phone, computer.
DRAW BLOCK #4: Label it TAXES.
If you're a W-2 earner, you'll want to pay attention here!
Most people are not aware that by having a home-based business they are entitled to many substantial tax deductions. This could make a significant difference in their lifestyle without increasing their overall income.
When you understand how it works, you'll see that the tax code offers home based business owners 157 legitimate tax deductions while the typical W-2 earner only gets 3. In essence, you're nuts if you don't pursue building a profitable home business.
KEYWORDS: 157 Tax Deductions, Income, Nuts.
Draw BLOCK # 5: Label it FINANCIAL FREEDOM.
OK here's a tough one.
Unless you have a financial vehicle that let's you increase your income on demand, you are just an indentured servant, no matter how fancy your title or how many degrees you have.
What would happen if you asked your boss for this type of a raise…maybe a few hundred or a few thousand next month? What would the boss be saying? Would you even have a job after that?
So, here's the reality. Could you earn an extra $1,000-$2,000 a month next month if you wanted to? What if you wanted to increase your income $5,000 a month within the next 90 days, could you do it right where you are?
Do you have bills you can't pay off? Could you support yourself indefinitely, if for some reason, you lost your job?
If not, you are in FINANCIAL BONDAGE.
The NEW style of home-based business can give you the financial vehicle to break free of those chains. It allows you to start part-time and work within your schedule.
But financial freedom is not only about having money. You may already make a lot of money. If so, are you mired down with employees, regulations, corporate politics and glass ceilings?
Have you sacrificed the quality things in life, trying to achieve something that was not there when you arrived? It does not matter how much money you make, if you have to give up YOUR LIFE just to get it. Then your income is solely determined by your desire and effort.
KEYWORDS: income, bondage, quality life.
Now look at all the ideas you have put together on one page. Draw lines to interconnect them. Most importantly, draw lines or arrows connecting YOU. Add a star beside ideas that are really important to you. Add more words that have personal meanings. Tape it on your fridge. I hope you share some of your thoughts.
TIME FLEXIBILITY
LEVERAGE
LIFESTYLE
TAX REFUNDS
FINANCIAL FREEDOM
The NEW style of home-based business can give you ALL THIS.
IT'S ALL ABOUT EDUCATION but keep it simple. What is the Information Economy?
IT'S ALL ABOUT SELF-EMPOWERMENT to be your best. Why it's important to me and how can I achieve it?
Just keep it simple. IT'S ALL ABOUT MANAGEABLE CHANGE.
Follow a 3-STEPS PLAN.
Repeat 4 successful words I CAN DO IT!
Please watch this extraordinary webinar and get back to me with questions and comments. I look forward to sharing your concept map and how we can help.

What works best in this home business: selling or educating
What works best in this special network marketing home business: selling or educating?
I always enjoy speaking with home-based business opportunity seekers. They have so many good questions that require proper, hype-free answers. I can relate to my first efforts in starting a home business by following a program without a proper overview of how this special home business worked. I followed with “blind faith” that the master marketer would inspire more and more “followers.” Unfortunately, this home business model based on network marketing concepts doesn’t work that way.
So my main answers are to make sure new people understand the foundational principles of network marketing. This will ensure that common mistakes can be avoided, and unnecessary costs eliminated and time saved. After all, customers buying important products for personal use are the basis of long –term commissions.
One of the most common questions is related to selling. Do I have to sell anything? I have no experience. I don’t like sales. After all, customers buying important products for personal use are the basis of long-term commissions.
These concerns and fears are absolutely relevant. How about you? Do you feel that you are unable to sell, or may even see selling as negative. Perhaps you may have had a past experience where you have been pushed into buying something you didn't want, or felt hassled by a salesperson.
The process of selling is an exchange of information between two people talking…one is looking for a solution to a problem..the other is providing some answers.
Both ways, they are selling each other whether about the problem or the solution. At the end, one person will “sell” the other.."my problems are too great" or "your solution seems the right first step to take." Our consumer society shows we are always willing to exchange money to buy if we find what we want.
The fact is that there are both very good and very bad sales people! Bad sales people are only interested in what they will personally get out of the sale and will use every tactic to close the deal for their own gain.
A good sales person will not sell something to anyone unless they truly believe that they will benefit from it. They will ensure all important questions are answered and if someone is still not interested, then they will stop pushing. The good sales person will also go to any length to ensure that all customers are completely satisfied with their purchase.
But here is the $64,000 question:
Do networkers SELL a product or EDUCATE a better financial future?
Is network marketing all about really selling a product that can be bought in a local retail outlet, or does it offer the unique advantage of presenting an improved lifestyle opportunity? What other options are there?
You don’t need to “sell” a better, more financially free future...most people would be interested in "buying" and upgrading their status quo. However, first, you must educate about the key concepts to get you there.
So, on one hand, you have particular products..as the means by which to make residual income…Note that most network marketing companies produce cutting-edge research and development products. Do your due diligence here to understand the value and benefits.
On the other hand, you have an opportunity, a decision to make to start a home business of this type that can change your life and your finances forever. You have a situation where you can identify ways in which your business can help other people to achieve life long ambitions.
Ultimately, the best way to make any decision is to educate first. Get your facts. Get your overview. Start to change your belief system...I can do this.
Now that you’ve been educated and enlightened, now go out and check the products and see if you are willing to “buy”.
In conclusion, this home business model is unique that allows every person the right to have a profitable home business. Go out and get educated first. Get smart and help others get smart.
Does this mean I have to be a teacher now rather than a salesperson?
Goodness, no! Use professional teaching tools to tell the story for you.

How to set 2 Goals to overcome obstacles when starting a home business
How to set two goals to overcome obstacles when you start a home business
"Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal."
- Henry Ford
Are you still thinking about starting a home business to get more money now and plan for a more secure future. Many people have already started on this journey and are watching a new stream of income grow every month.
But you are still looking how to start and that often means having to break through you own mental roadblocks to success. When you look around, you will not see any physical obstacles to stop you other than your personal mindset. Can I? Can’t I? What if? How do I stay focused? How do I measure success? Who will help? Cost? Time? Profits? Obstacles Gallery!
Recently I read an interesting article by a success mentor, Bob Cox, titled “Blast Through 5 Roadblocks to Success” about his own personal challenges which I thought offered different viewpoints. Here is a summary of the points to hopefully diminish similar obstacles you may be facing.
Obstacle #1: Do you worry about Perfectionism…
Do you insist on getting it done right to your standards..."paralysis by analysis"
But your perception of perfectionism may be more than what is expected.
In fact, 10 percent of a project - the time it takes to get things "perfect" - takes just as long to complete as the first 90 percent.
Project goals change all the time. So it's better to come within 90 percent of an idea of perfection and save a little time for the inevitable changes.
Bottom line: Stay in motion. Aim for good, push through the modifications that arise, and then... aim for better and repeat the process until the desired results are achieved.
Obstacle #2: Do you fail to have Good Listening Skills
Do you become easily distracted if the person is taking a long time to make a point?
Here are some tips to become a more active listener:
Your ears are for hearing... your mind is for listening.
Listen for ideas and central themes (even take notes).
Don't interrupt. Wait your turn to speak.
Circle any points in your notes that you want to emphasize when it's your turn.
Judge content... not delivery.
Obstacle #3: Are you reluctant to ask others for ideas
Do you think it is a sign of weakness to ask for help on a venture or project?.
It's better to keep an "open box" mindset.
Be willing to ask for alternate ideas and solutions. You may even be surprised at how many good ideas other people have.
And don't forget to thank them. By developing this success habit, you will have lots of extra resources to draw on whenever you're stuck on a problem.
Obstacle #4: Do you understand the Team Concept...
Do you fail to compromise with a know-it-all attitude wanting to the team leader?
In time you will undoubtedly develop leadership skills; however, when learning new ideas, allow others to explain the opportunity..how the project works, how to keep the momentum, share success testimonials.
In a series of earlier blogs you were shown how to set two goals between HERE and THERE.
Join them with a straight line…the shortest distance between two points or goals.
This time label it obstacles to success and add words like listening skills, team concept, perfectionism and any other words that can set up roadblocks
GOAL #1: Reasons I don’t want to be here (current reality)
GOAL #2: Reasons I want to be there (future independent lifestyle
Will you allow these obstacles to stop your reality from reaching your dreams?
I sincerely hope not and we are standing by to listen and help.
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! Use the resource Mini-Program for Maxi-Profits
2. Plug into a successful network marketing company for valuable products and residual 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 focus, motivation, action steps, overcoming obstacles and home business success.
Your comments and questions are always appreciated.
Annemarie
PS:
In addition to the above, you may have roadblocks of your own that you encounter on a regular basis. Here's a simple three-step process to help you navigate through them and keep yourself on the path to success.
1. List three of your personal roadblocks to success. BE HONEST. It's difficult to admit your "shortcomings" or "issues," but that's the only way this technique will help you.
2. Write two or three paragraphs about why these roadblocks are a problem for you and how they are inhibiting your success.
3. List at least three ways to push through, jump over, toss aside, or take a detour away from these roadblocks that keep holding you back from achieving your goals.

How to Set 2 Goals 3 Steps to make Residual Income in a Home Business Plan
How to set Two Goals Three Steps to make Residual Income in Home Business Plan
The concept of residual income or passive income is probably one of the most important concepts you will ever learn in your lifetime. It is a powerful concept because anyone that can master the concept of residual income can also design their own comfortable lifestyle.
First, you need to understand the difference between linear and residual income. Linear income is based on working per hours and getting paid per hours. If your hours run out, so do your paychecks.
Residual income is based on working one time and getting paid multiple times.
Simply put, residual income occurs by building a system one time that can produce a recurring stream of revenue once the system is set up. What's so great about this is if you are willing to apply some effort and build a residual based system in the initial phase, you can reap the benefits from this one-time labor for years to come.
For example, let’s say you start a home business based on the network marketing model. You order valuable products directly from the manufacturer and recommend them to other people. Word of mouth advertising is still one the most powerful way to share information. If other people, and their referrals, also buy the products based on your recommendations, then you will earn commissions again and again based on recurring sales rather than just a one time sale.
GOAL #1: Reasons I don’t want to be here (current reality)
GOAL #2: Reasons I want to be there (future independent lifestyle)
Now what’s the easiest, straightest way to travel from HERE to THERE...3 steps
1. Educate and Empower ..I understand the business concepts about this home business and I CAN DO THIS! Use the resource Mini-Program for Maxi-Profits for a generic overview.
2. Plug into a successful network marketing company for valuable products and residual commissions from an expanding organization.
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 focus, motivation, action steps, and home business success. You can make excuses or you can make residual income.

Seriously speaking, it just makes sense. Residual income is what you want…getting paid on a regular basis whether monthly or weekly. Yet so many people just don't get it. Master the concept of residual income and you can master your destiny.
So here is an idea. Draw two goal posts and a straight line joining them.
Label it linear income. Under it, write the rule: 8 hours work = 8 hours pay. No hours worked = no hours pay.
Or consider a home business with residual income potential.
This time draw two goals and join them with a straight line…the shortest distance between two points or goals. This time label it residual income and draw multiple percentage signs ( %’s) around it to represent getting paid multiple times from initial effort.

How to Achieve Success in Home Business with Two Goals
How to achieve success in a Home Business with Two Goals...
Success In Home Business is achieved to a large degree by the clarity and effectiveness of our goals. We know that. We know that mentorship, focus and action plans are the keys to success.
So we set out to clearly define a chart of goals to take us to where we want to go. But the more we goals we set up, the more difficult the journey becomes…the more excuses materialize, the more obstacles distract us, the more challenges and doubts question our rationale.
First let’s look at a set of goals commonly prescribed for home business entrepreneurs:
1. Identify Your WHY…to get you through the “tough” travelling days in any business
2. Prepare a Dream List and pictures of an exciting lifestyle you want
3. Write down your goals and review them on a daily basis to focus your efforts
4. Break your goals down into action steps. First, imagine your goal is achieved and work backwards through the steps to actually realize it. Keep track of these steps in order to repeat them consistently.
5. Get multiple “Accountability Partners.” In other words, make sure your team members
keep you on your toes with regular motivational calls.
6. Review your goals once at night and again in the morning. You want to train your subconscious mind on a consistent basis to achieve your dreams and desires.
7. Repeat the process. Goal setting should be a continual process not a once a year process. Try and apply more challenging targets and bigger dreams.
Second, what if we can set up just two goals and join them with a straight line…the shortest distance between two points or goals:
GOAL #1: Reasons I don’t want to be here (current reality)
GOAL #2: Reasons I want to be there (future lifestyle, if money and time were no objections)
