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.

Why attraction marketing doesn't work in network marketing home business..10 challenges

Why attraction marketing doesn’t work in a network marketing home business
10 challenges..

It’s a great feeling to have validation by top internet marketers. It has been the theme of my blogs and articles...KISP…Keep It Simple Please.


Attraction Marketing strategies don’t work.

We are talking about the context of the network marketing home business. This one-of-a-kind home business allows you to plug into a successful network marketing company. This allows access, as an independent team member, to the product, research, top management expertise, replicated website, marketing tools, accounting, and compensation or pay plans.
Your "job" is to help market their product and earn residual commissions
The keywords are help to market which is the lifeblood of any business.
Three key concepts are duplication of a simple marketing plan for residual income.

The Indivisible Rule: simplicity = velocity = profits


So there are many current programs based on “attraction marketing” or how to become the attractive, magnetic leader that others want to follow. This main strategy may have uniquely worked at one time within the common web 2.0 social marketing.
To become “attractive” you were encouraged to write articles and blogs, participate in forums and social sites, learn about videos, use e-books for funding proposals, build a huge list for traffic generation, attend /invite/follow-up on teleseminars, engage in active self-development that could take months or years.
I can name on one hand a few marketing gurus who have moved through these complicated ranks and raised their success ratios with these strategies. Now with resources and connections, their names are consistently seen promoting the courses / programs at costs to other would-be attractive entrepreneurs.

Personally, the world is not about brilliant superheroes but every day heroes who can make a difference given the right tools and prosperity mindset.

Personally, I did buy into the theory of YOU.INC or attraction marketing for a couple of years. I used superhero effort to hammer out a downline..but, not surprisingly, nobody wanted to do duplicate these efforts. But how much time was wasted in these social communities, training sessions, and over-saturated traffic generations can’t be calculated. Instinctively, there were several signs that this process wasn’t working such as people not returning calls or not attending training calls.
However, if this home business model was so strong, workable and believable, then why weren’t more people running towards my direction instead of away? What was missing was a simple, short comprehensive educational review and a basic 3 steps marketing system.

Now, I have finally heard from top internet marketers why attraction marketing doesn’t work anymore in the context of Web.3 social marketing...an ever evolving marketplace.

The challenges to attractive, self-branded leadership-style marketers are that they can’t get their teams to duplicate their success. Their approach doesn’t attract the masses:
  • information overload..too many resources, methodologies
  • too many parts and tactics… limited mastery of any
  • decrease of personal production with primary company in an overcrowded industry
  • way too time consuming...setting up training modules
  • no big picture overview..too many criteria…people need a trail of victory before they believe unconditionally
  • no duplication...people need the right basic tool for the job that every single person can do..I CAN DO THIS!
  • profits and personal growth are decreased via competitive market
  • expensive factors in both time and costs
  • not friendly to beginners who can waste time and money doing extraneous expectations
  • continued negative public reaction to an opportunity based on democratic ideals but underpinned by personal branding or attraction marketing mini-structures

In th end, people want to know four things in how to start a home business:

1. what do I have to do..3 steps marketing plan

2. who will help me..professional tools and team members

3. how much will it cost...start as low as $40 monthly for valuable product everbody needs

4. how much can I make...potential of unlimited residual income

How is what you're doing now, working out for you?


In the end, this unique home based business built on a few network marketing principles needs a professional presentation that is simple to get started and duplicated, that provides a safe, like-minded community in which to interact and which promotes grassroots capitalism democratically where every person who wants a home business can make profits.

Your questions, comments, opinions are all very important. What are some of your experiences in networking marketing and home business..
