If you're brand new to the internet marketing world, here's how the home business industry may appear to you:
There are "The Few" who have "figured it out" are feeding off "The Many" - those who are still
looking for the best deals and who are going broke because they are clueless about the foundation of how network marketing works..
But there is no secret. If anything, any business success depends on marketing and there has never been a better marketing system than word of mouth. It is time to return to basics.
Your journey to residual income success will happen if you pay attention to these stop signs. They will keep you on the no-excuses-allowed straight-line to great home business income. They will allow the "weakest link" in your team to strongly share the message because that's how residual income works.
1. STOP trying to master internet marketing...
The problem here is most marketing programs on the internet today are by master internet marketers who promote massively about how simple it is to make 1000's a day with targeted lists. Their lists have taken years to develop with in house staffs. Too expensive and too difficult to duplicate. (To see why duplication of a simple marketing plan is important see 100% generic Mini-Program for Maxi-Profits resource link.)
Why spend 1000's of dollars getting Search Engine Optimization only to compete link-wise and traffic-wise with millions of other sites? Why pay $100's monthly for pay-per- click advertising, online ads, ezines, blogs, safelists. People don't join websites...people work with people they like and who like them.
2. STOP trying to be an expert of some product, program or ebook.
In time you may be able to properly train to be a health or business coach but very few others will be able to invest equal time or duplicate your actions. Let experts and professional presentations tell the story for you. Note the same resource as to why Leverage is the most important word in this special business because it allows every person the ability to correctly share the message.
Your message is to promote a service, preferably at no cost for the trial test so new people can see their own personal value in having the service. Once people have established their own value they are more than ready to promote and make money also.
3. STOP trying to brand yourself as a "magnetic attractive" leader.
How much time can you spare to set up social sites, articles, blogs and videos? This takes 100's of hours to set up and maintain in a playing field of thousands of other would-be Olympian leaders. Once again, this special network marketing model is never about grooming alpha leaders but allowing average people an equal and fair opportunity.
The recommended solution is to start sharing this exciting free tool with people you know who share with people they know and so on. The best kind of advertising has always been word of mouth, bar none.
And if you need more people to talk to then there are low-cost, highly professional and effective programs with veteran marketers.
Why is it important to share...people save 100's of dollars monthly on shopping bills.both online and offline at local retailers. How easy is that to share? Who wants to save money in a tight economy?
START RETURN TO BASICS...3 REASONS
Start respecting the true principles of network marketing. It is the only opportunity where people can harness a huge successful company, share the message about their product or service and get paid for successful referrals. This foundation makes it easy for everybody to share this message...leverage, duplication, marketing plan.
There is a wide host of people living with time and money freedom based on these principles. Why shouldn't this basic business model work for your family, too. Work with masses...dine with classes.
Start respecting the internet...it has leveled the playing field. It has harnessed the global economy. It gives you the personal power to release the bondage of the old world economy. There has never been an internet opportunity like this because saving money never stops and sharing great information is easier with a world audience.
Start respecting yourself. Of course, you can read endless ebooks, listen to tapes and gurus and in time you will have assimilated their teachings and emerged a more self developed individual. But right now you need to focus on simple actions such as "I want to make money quickly." That is the very best motivation of all. Find two other business partners who want to save and make money and you get paid $100 and there is no limit to how many override bonuses you can receive in a team's payplan to infinity.
Start taking immediate action and you will succeed. The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
The secret of getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and then starting on the first one.
Start to picture how you will live when you have the ability to live the way you want.
Without goals like this, you will be a ship without a rudder, working to support your creditors.
With the kind of simple opportunities online, all you need to escape this vicious cycle is a vision of what you want and the belief that you can get it.
Our mission is to return network marketing principles to a fair and democratic home business opportunity every family deserves.
Be sure you watch an incredible video there called Current State of Direct Selling...5 powereful benefits. Now combine that with 3 Steps Marketing Plan. Some people will see IT...others will not. I hope you see IT.
Your questions,comments and aspirations are always welcome.

Home Business Shocker..and a simple way to avoid the SHOCK
HOME BUSINESS SHOCKER..and simple way to stop the shock
You undoubtedly have used Google Search to find specific information...just type in a word or word phrase you are looking for and Google Search Engine will present pages of related topics and links.
Therefore, one of the best ways of doing market research is to check out what Google.Adwords.Keyword Tool shows about certain keywords and frequency of searches. The more popular...the more searches… greater the marketplace.
It’s common realization that the marketplace for home businesses is booming, especially in our redefining, readjusting economy.
So this statistic came as a profound SHOCK. You can check it out for yourself.
How many people search the internet by typing the words home business on the average per month?
The answer is 2, 240, 000 searches per month…that’s a lot of investigation and/or interest.
How many people search the internet by typing the words home business education on the average per month?
The answer is approximately 750 searches..
In other words, the ratio breaks down that for every 3000 people who are thinking about a home business..there is ONE person who is also thinking about some kind of primary education to explain how a home business works.
HELLO! What’s wrong with this SHOCKING picture?
Imagine 3000 students in a classroom all eager to build their BIG CHANGE money-making vehicle of some kind...but only ONE person will look at the mechanics. This unbridled methodology is doomed to fail! How many ways can you make a wheel?
No curriculum can exist that way through some kind of automatic osmosis. No one can expect a graduate’s mastery or performance from a primary level student. No new “dreamy-eyed” person coming into a home business without proper foundational comprehension and skills will function like a self-branded, social media expert. After a short time..when hype fizzles..only frustration and failure remain.
Now it is also a fact that the most common home business is based on network marketing for many reasons. At least 95% of home business owners are network marketers. It is estimated about 15 – 20% of successful networkers come from previous small business backgrounds and have well-honed business skill.
(This leaves about 80% of home-based networkers with limited skills but they are expected to function with the necessary skills of communicating, marketing, sales, motivation and more. This topic will be covered more in the next blog.)
The main point is that HOME BUSINESS EDUCATION MUST PRECEDE HOME BUSINESS..in the same way that an engineering course must precede building a bridge.
The main answer here is that a PRIMARY EDUCATION PROGRAM must be presented about how this Network Marketing Home Business works. It must be based on a common basic understanding that is easily shared even with non-business people.
Here are examples of primary instruction:
Profits become part of your life story and legacy.

The main answer here is that a PRIMARY EDUCATION PROGRAM must be presented about how this Network Marketing Home Business works. It must be based on a common basic understanding that is easily shared even with non-business people.
Here are examples of primary instruction:
- Begin with basic vocabulary, concepts, strategies, comparison, self- evaluation and summary
- Provide a simple training component easily shared with a growing team to explain the duplication principles of this business model. This is mandatory to explain the main concepts related to leverage. Example: Slide presentation: Network Marketing in the Modern Information Age with a Simple 1 – 2 – 3 Marketing Plan.
- Ensure that the divergent but necessary elements for networking success are amalgamated into ONE simple journal, including self-concept development, to save months of research and avoid mistakes: Example: E-Book: 105 Tips How to Plug into our Information Economy through Network Marketing
- Connect to a simple online marketing system to expand contacts beyond warm market, uses auto responders loaded with sales messages for automatic follow-up, as well as provide ongoing communication training
- Provide time flexibility to fit into variable time schedules… not based on conferences schedules. Example:This ABC Primer can be easily accomplished in under 30 minutes with the Mini-Program for Maxi-Profits. NOTE: A picture is worth a thousand words…visual learning is critical to see complex meanings.
- Has to be low-cost for the average networker to afford: online system, leads, training and support so everyone can get into positive cash flow
- Eliminate the biggest roadblocks to success which are excuses, “I don’t have any money, I’m too busy, I can’t, I won’t. “ A life framed with excuses is a wasted future. More explanation in reason # 7 Check out slide 28.
BOTTOM LINE: Minimal cost, minimal time, maximum basics, maximum duplication ..the real creation of a true self-franchised individual
HOME BUSINESS EDUCATION becomes an integral part of the Home Business Viral Marketing Formula
Profits = Leveraged Message + Democratic Plan x Duplication
Profits become part of your life story and legacy.
As always, comments, questions and opinions are always appreciated. Another excellent source of primary education is Home Business 101 (3 videos..introducation, comparison and mindset ) and Home Business 102 (4 videos on Goal Setting

How to Focus Home Business Ambition Between Two Goals and 3 Steps
Home Business ambition focus between two goals and 3 steps
Do you sometimes find yourself blaming circumstances for your lot in life? Do you find yourself raising a bunch of excuses… if only my parents did this, or I was raised differently, or my teachers didn’t like me enough or I followed my friends’ ambitions. Do you find yourself looking at successful people that seem to have everything...a big house, nice car, holidays, hobbies with the kids? Maybe you feel you don’t have the psychology, the emotions, the purpose-driven life goals, or something as simple as personal ambition to get ahead...is it a genetic trait or do I develop it like some kind of mental muscle.
Maybe you’re just waiting for the right opportunity, a silver platter with your name on it, a lottery ticket mentality. But there are far more chances to create your own fortune and get what you want than waiting for a “fantasy knight to save you on a magic carpet.”
As a teacher I firmly believe that every person starts each day with a positive direction in mind. Most of us think “what can I do today to be better”..not “what can I do today to be miserable, make others miserable or fail on purpose.” Most of us know what we want and have some determination to get to that destination. But it is the bumps and bruises itself along the way that throw sand in our eyes and blur our reasons.
Sometime setting goals for building ambition and motivation can be problematic in their own right. The more steps to follow, the more reasons or excuses not to try or reduce hope to excuses.
The big question is how can we simplify the process of planning and achievement so there will be less chances to give up and walk away.
So let’s say you want to start a simple, low-cost but profitable home business. Most new opportunity seekers look at network marketing for several reasons.
Here are two plans (Long and Short) to help focus and maintain your ambition.
A. LONG (SLOW PROGRESSION) PLAN
(not everybody may want to do this process)
1. Brainstorm
Get a piece of paper and write down the important goal of home business.. Now cluster as many other ideas about why its important and how to do it. No judgments allowed at this point whether they can work or not…be as open-ended as you can be
2. Organise
Get all of those ideas you just wrote down and organize them into topic sentences…home business…what I need to do ..help I can expect from others...how will I market….how to increase my customer base...how to track expenses for tax deductions
3. Budget
Do some careful research and find out how much money setting up your home business will cost you. Be sure to include products, inventory, advertising and promotional materials, rent, utilities, telephone, internet, office set-up, freight, etc
4. Check personal finances
Evaluate your current budget..what money is coming in, and where your money is going out. Can you cut back on spending (non-essentials) to save more. Are you willing to sacrifice short term pain for long term gain? Can you find a second job temporarily or get a loan?
5. Timeline
Put your home business plan of action into one document. You know what you need to do to achieve your goals and when you want to do it. Break your plan up into smaller goals, and put them along a timeline. This will not necessarily be the exact way it pans out, but if you have a rough idea of when you want to achieve your goal, you have something to work towards.
6. Steps to action
Now you are ready to carry out the steps to achieve your goals.This is where your ambition will give you optimum fuel for motivation, determination and positive attitude. Even if something unforeseen happens, do not accept failure as an excuse… go back through the steps you have taken and see if there is a way you can overcome it.
SHORT (FASTER DUPLICATION) PLAN
Again, you are focusing on building a home-based business based on network marketing concepts (leverage and duplication). Always remember, no other home business comes close to the potential of this industry, but it must be done right.
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)
This straight line represents all the steps and psychology from the LONG PLAN…brainstorming, budget, timeline, ambition and motivation, actions
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! Our success is the greatest ambition to do more..
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.

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 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:
