Successful Home Business And The Reality Of The “NO”

April 16th, 2009

The word “No” isn’t exactly the most fun word to hear in a successful home business . Even when you were a kid asking for a new toy or a candy bar “no” equaled sadness and rejection. So what I’m about to say might just shock you. In a home based business you need to get excited about the no’s!

That’s right it’s not a typo the word no is actually your friend so learn to embrace it. Of course it’s not as fun as everyone’s favorite word “yes” but really… no ain’t so bad!

I know you probably have no idea what I’m talking about. After all you can’t build an income off of a bunch of “no” right? Well maybe not but if you’re hearing a ton of “no” every single day you can rest assured that you’re doing the right thing.

See if you’re hearing a lot of that word it means you’re talking to a lot of people and talking to a lot of people is always a good thing. Everyone can have success in a home based business it’s just about finding the 2 or 3 people you need to really make your business explode.

So how do you find these people? Well for starters you’re going to have to talk to a ton of people. Do you know what happens when you talk to a lot of people about your home based business. You’re going to hear a ton of “no”.

Now every time someone tells you no you can rejoice because that means you’re just one step closer to your next yes. If you’re only hearing one or two “no’s” a day you gotta step it up!

See what most people do is they get excited and the first time they hear a couple of rejections they get all frustrated and give up. You just have to power through the “no’s” as fast as you can and then the “yes’” will seem to come a whole lot faster.

So in conclusion learn to embrace the word “no”. Maybe even love it? Ok so love might be too strong a word. But no matter what just know that it’s not your fault and every “no” brings you that much closer to a big fat “yes!”

Finding Time To Build Your Successful Home Business

February 26th, 2009

If you are a part of a home based business you have probably struggled with finding the time to work your business.  If you have, you are not alone.  Almost everyone I know has at one point said “I just don’t have time!”

So here are a few helpful hints to help you find little pockets of time to build a successful home business in the midst of your busy life.

One thing that has been extremely helpful with my business has been to write down how I spend all of my time during the week.  I don’t just mean “home” or “at work” but every single things that you do during the day.

For instance, I found that during a certain day of the week I was watching 3 hours of television and on another night I was just surfing the Internet for a couple of hours and not accomplishing anything.

I promise you that even if you have the business of schedules if you do this exercise you will find a ton of time you never even knew you had.

Another tip is to get up one hour earlier in the morning or go to bed one hour later at night.  Of course, I do not want you to be dead tired during the next day, but one hour is not really that much and you can get a lot accomplished during that time.

A lot of people find it to be very effective to work their home based business on their lunch break from work.  If you get an hour for lunch, you can eat for the first 15 minutes and then make calls for the last 45.  You can have good conversations in 45 minutes.

Remember that finding time to work your home based business is all a matter of desire.  If you really want to make it happen you can do it no matter what your schedule looks like while others can have a ton of time but very little desire (and usually get very little done).

Make the choice to find time every single day to work on building your business.  A successful home business is like nothing else.  You can build it once and it will take care of you for a very, very long time.  Make some small sacrifices now for a huge payoff in the future.

Network Marketing Lies And Myths (We Tell Ourselves)

February 25th, 2009

Home based business owners have a horrible habit of lying to ourselves about our business.  In this post I’ll go over the little lies we all tell ourselves and how to get real and start seeing more success.

Lie #1: My product/business will pretty much sell itself.

There is not a product or a business out there that is good enough to sell itself without any marketing.  Be real:  Some MLM products are, well, stupid, some are okay, and some are great.  You can get rich marketing any one of them.

Your product can be the greatest product in MLM, but if you are not working for it, it will not work for you.  Period.

The same can be said for your opportunity.  Just because you think it is the greatest way to make money form home does not mean people are going to be banging down your door begging to sign up.  No matter how great your business is, it’s going to take some effort on your part.

Lie #2: “So and so” probably doesn’t work that much

If you are making money in a network marketing business, you are going to work hard!  People tend to look at the top earners in their companies and believe that they do not work that hard or that they “just got lucky.”

They did not “just get lucky.”  They set a goal, worked hard, and sacrificed to get there (no matter what they say).  Success in this industry never comes without work.  Look at the top earners in your company as examples of what can happen when you work hard and set a goal and stop thinking the just caught  lucky break.

Lie #3: I do not have to improve myself

Everyone needs to do little things every month, every week, and every day to improve themselves.  Nobody is outside of this.  I am not saying there is anything wrong with you, but there is always room for improvement and if you are not working on yourself, your business is not going to grow (at least, not at the rate you want it to).

Lie #4: People will not say “no” to me

Let me be blunt:  You are going to hear “no” a lot.  Hearing the word “no” does not mean that your business is not good or your product stinks.  It just means that the person you are talking to is not interested.  Anyone who has had any kind of success in a home based business  has heard the word “no” a lot.  Get use to it!  Embrace it!  It has nothing to do with you; it is just the nature of the beast.

Lie #5: I’ll be quitting my job next month

There is no such thing as overnight success.  I am not saying that you cannot speed the process along, but the fact of the matter is that it is going to take a while to see huge success.  Don’t go telling your co-workers, your spouse, or your boss that you’ll be leaving before you’ve even got your first check.  It is just best for everyone.

It is awesome to shoot for greatness.  Just do not make your goals so high that when you do not meet them you get discouraged and want to quit.

Lie #6: My business will build itself

This is a lot like the first lie, but it is worth saying again:  No business will 100% build itself.  Sure, there are ways to automate your business and take a bit off your shoulder.  But it is going to require some work on your part.  Do not let anyone tell you differently.

Lie #7: My business does not need structure

Just because your home based business is not a job does not mean it does not need structure.  You cannot go weeks or days upon days without working your business.  You cannot work 30 hours one week and 3 the next!

Your network marketing business needs some sort of structure if it is really doing to work for you.  Of course, the beauty of working from home is you can fit that schedule around your life and the life of your family; just don’t get to loosey goosey with it.

Stop lying to yourself and start getting real!  I promise that when you do your business will be much better for it.

Successful Home Business List Building

February 24th, 2009

You’ve probably heard before that “the money is in the list.”  But what does that really mean?  It means that the more people you have on your marketing list the better chance you have of signing up more people and therefore making more money in your successful home based business.

It is true that the money is in the list … so how do you build a giant prospecting list when you’re just getting started in your home based business?  Or perhaps you’re not new to MLM but you are new to the idea of list building.  Either way, this post is designed to show you how to build the largest list possible in the shortest amount of time.  Remember, the money is in the list!

The first thing you are going to need is a squeeze page.  Squeeze pages are used by almost all serious Internet marketers.  They allow people to take a look at your website and business only after they give you information, such as their name and email address.

Some squeeze pages have lots of information the prospect needs to enter but really all you need is the first name and email.  Many people are not comfortable putting in their phone number, address, or anything else.  If you ask for too much, your opt-in rate will decrease.

Once you get an opt-in they should be allowed to access your website and get the information they need.  They will also be put in an auto-responder.  An auto-responder is a program that sends out emails for you.  This allows you to be doing other things for your business while the auto-responder markets to your prospects for you.

When a prospect is ready to talk to you personally they will pick up the phone and call you!  This is the best way to use your list.  When they call you, you know they are really serious about working from home and building a successful home based business with you!

If you are not currently using a squeeze page, you need to get one.  It is the best thing you can have for your online business.  Many marketers use multiple squeeze pages in order to get the most opt-ins possible.

Another way to grow your list is by giving away something for free.  People love free stuff (I know I do!).  By creating your own product (usually a free report or an eBook) and setting up a website to give it away for free, your opt-in list will grow by leaps and bounds!  You will also have to make sure the product you give away is something that has to do with working from home.  This will target the right people to opt-in to your list.

Don’t worry about bugging people with your emails because at the bottom of each message your auto-responder will place opt-out link.  This way only the people who are really interested stay on your list.

Finally, once you have set up your free product page and your business squeeze pages you will need to promote, promote, promote!  If you do not promote your websites, nobody (or very few people) will ever find them.  Use free sites like network marketing forums, MySpace, Facebook, YouTube, and article websites to get the word out about your pages and you will have a lot of free prospects in no time.

Follow these easy steps and you will have more prospects than you will have time to talk to in a day.  Remember, your list will not grow overnight or without some serious promotion.  But if you are looking for a cost effective way to have a lot of people to talk to, this is the best method out there.

Be A Stay At Home Dad With A Successful Home Based Business

February 20th, 2009

There is a lot of talk out there about being a stay at home mom.  there are forums, websites, seminars, marketing videos, and even some companies dedicated to nothing but women who want to work from home.

However, if you are a father your desire to be a stay at home dad can be just as great.  Whether you are a single father or a man who wants to spend more time with his kids and his wife, I a m here to tell you that being a stay at home dad is very, very possible and it can be the greatest decision you could ever make for your family!

For a lot of men being a stay at home dad is not even something that might enter your mind.  After all the men are traditionally the ones who are supposed to leave the home every day and “bring home the bacon,” right?

Well, believe it or not, there is a way for you to spend more time with your family and at the very same time provide an incredible income for them, possibly even more than you are making right now.

Let’s get one thing straight:  The MLM or Multi-Level Marketing of 2009 is not the MLM of the past.  There has absolutely, without a doubt, never been such a great time to make money from home as there is right now.

That’s because all of your marketing can now be done on the Internet and almost all of it is free if you know what you’re doing.

So if you have ever been a part of a home business in the past and you had a bad experience, scratch all that because the game has been totally changed.

The best part about Internet marketing is that you can do it whenever you want.  In traditional marketing most people were busy calling lists of prospects but that meant waiting until it was the right time of day.  When you are marketing online for free you can do it at 2 in the morning if you want.  It is all about what works best for you and your family!

Marketing on the Internet also means that you can reach more people in a shorter amount of time and that means more results, faster.

Get the information you need to find out if a home based business is right for you and your family.  Don’t miss out on another baseball game or dance recital because you are working ever gain!  Become a full time stay at home dad and spend more time with your family and less time with your boss!

Build Your Successful Home Based Business Like A Child (And Get Rich!)

February 19th, 2009

So many people involved in a home based business feel that they have to be extremely smart or mature in their business before the real success will come.  In this article I plan to show you how building your business like a child can help you see more results faster and grow your income in a huge way.

How could thinking like a child possibly help your business?  Here are a few reasons why you should act your shoe size … not your age.

Children only have one goal in mind at any given moment.  For instance, if you’ve ever seen a little boy or girl in the toy aisle at Wal-Mart or Target they’re usually begging their mom or dad for a toy.  In that moment, in the mind of a child, that toy is the most important thing on planet earth.

You can try and distract them but they want what they want and they’re not going to stop putting up a fight for it.

As a home based business owner you can learn a lot from this.  If we, as adults, had one-eighth the passion for success that the small child has for their toy we’d be hearing a lot more success stories in our home based businesses.

Children don’t have a plan B, and we shouldn’t either.  Almost all network marketing success stories come from people who were at a point in their lives when they literally had no other option but success.

In that moment in the toy aisle you’ll never see a child say, “Well I really want that new doll but I do have several other dolls at home I could play with so I’ll just forget about it.”

So, for instance, if your goal is to make a six figure income working from home you should not see yourself short by saying, “Well, I guess $60,000 is really all I need.”

Set a goal and allow yourself no other options but reaching that goal.

Another way children are great examples is how they deal with people.  Children have no fear.  If a little boy walks up to another little boy in the sandbox and asks him to play, he’s not thinking, “Oh gosh I don’t know if I should ask him to play.  I mean, he’s having a pretty good time in the sandbox, and I don’t want to bother him.”

NO!

If a kid wants to play with another kid he just walks up and asks him.  No fear, no beating around the bush.  If he want to play, great!  If not, at least he knows.

Have an idea of what I am getting at?  You have to talk to people about your home based business without any fear.  After all, the worst they can say is no, right?

Stop worrying about if you’re “bothering” people or trying to figure out exactly what they’re going to say.  Who cares?  You have something great in yoru hands and if they want it, awesome!  If they do not, so what?

Market your business less like an adult and more like a confident, excited child and your business will never be the same again!

You get back to your home town and start making plans.  You’re excited!

And then a couple of days later, it hits you.  That feeling of being completely overwhelmed settles in and you’re wondering what you are going to do to make your business successful.

This happens a lot.  A lot of people just naturally let their enthusiam fade when they are unsure about what to do.

1.  Make a task list.  Make it managable.  Do not try to bite off more than you can chew, but make sure you are in daily action.

2.  Keep in touch with successful upline leaders.  Let them continually motivate you and keep you on task.

Is Your Success An Obessions Or A Wish?

February 16th, 2009

As I’m building a successful home based business, I find myself asking:

Brent, are you obsessed with success?

When we hear or say the word “obessed” we begin thinking that is a bad thing.  But I am not convinced that being obsessed with success is bad at all.

Most people just “wish” they were successful.  They might set a few goals to be successful.  If they don’t meet those goals, they stop.  There is no driving force, no passion, nothing.

But when you are obsessed with obtaining success, you’ll work until you’re dog tired in order to move a step closer.  It is all about doing it, doing it, doing it, and not giving up.  You dream about it.  You toss and turn at night about it.  It stays on your mind and makes you want to set aside trivial thing in order to obtain it.

Yes, I’m obsessed with success.  Are you?

Success in my home business is something that sticks with me.  No matter what I’m doing, I’m craving success.  I’m thinking of what I can be doing today to help me be successful.  I’m thinking of what I can do tomorrow to help me be successful.  I’m thinking of what I can improve.  I’m thinking of what I can trim out of my daily schedule to help me get to the place I want to go.

You could say I’m obsessed.  But what is wrong with it?

Zrii Troubles – Could You Build A Successful Home Business Through It?

February 12th, 2009

I’m not big on focusing on the issues of other companies struggles, but it makes for great writing material and material to reflect on.

But let me be real:  Zrii is a company in a struggle.

In case you have not heard, most of the executive management team resigned as well as many top distributors were terminated the first week of February.  I’ve read the articles, I’ve listened to some of the conference calls, and its amazing what is going on.

And it got me thinking:

Can anyone build a successful home based business through all of those issues?

Its tough enough at times to build a successful home based business through easy times, much less a recession and a company shake-up (and the subsequent lawsuits to follow).

I think that once the dust settles, if the company holds together through the effort of their top distributors that are left, that many will build a successful home busienss with them.  The key is, in order to do it, the remaining leadership in the field have to unite, be positive, and keep working.

So could you be successful through all of this?

Successful Home Based Business In MLM Success Is No Accident

February 8th, 2009

MLM success does not occur by accident, nor does it occur by luck.


MLM success comes through three important things to know. Knowing how to tap into these things will help you create success for you and your MLM team.


Consistent action


All great leaders who have build MLM success worked their business consistently until they reached the income level they wanted to reach. Every day they were involving themselves in their business by advertising, prospecting, taking phone calls, going to meetings, and helping others on their team.


Most who fail in MLM simply do not work the business or do not work it consistently enough to see success. Most face rejection a few times, get discouraged, and give up. They fail to keep working the business through “thick and thin” in order to reach success.


Be consistent in your work and you can build MLM success.


Focus On The Goal


If you talk to anyone who has experienced MLM success, it was because they had a goal. They had their dreams, their wishes for their lives or their families’ lives, and would let nothing stand in their way. I have heard many stories of people with their backs up against the wall who would not give up. These people worked hard and consistently until they reached their goals.


A lot of people who start in an MLM company never have a really good vision of what they want. They simply see an opportunity to make money and not an opportunity to change their lives. If the only focus is on making extra money, the person will realize that simply working more at their job or taking on a second job will accomplish the same goal. They will never work for MLM success and will quit.


Care For Others


One crucial factor in MLM success is simply being compassionate and caring about the people you work with. Your success in MLM depends on whether you help others be successful. If you help others succeed, you will naturally succeed. Get to know the people you work with. Find out what their goals and dreams are and help them reach them. Doing this will move you closer to your goals and dreams.


People who often fail at MLM think it is all about them and not about their team. They invest little in themselves and even less in others. But if you invest in others, beyond just money, you will foster a team atmosphere and build relationships that will be strong both inside and outside of the business.
