If you are in a home based business you are on the right road to success. If you're not, look for something that suits you and get ta get'n...Why? We know we cannot trust the stock market, most of our 401ks are now 201ks (don't panic, they'll go back up, then you'll have some decisions to make). We cannot trust in mortages, real estate, mutual funds, jobs (can you say downsize, laid off, whatever), almost everything is being tested right now and failing. But there is something that consistently thrives even in tough times, and that's home based businesses. At least those that get the training and skill needed to be successful. With this, most even excel in the worst of economies. Why? Because you know you're not afraid of work, and you know you have to put food on the table, and you have to do it everyday. You're now looking into home based businesses, you remember something, somebody said about making money, about bonuses, about how fast you could do start one...etc. You wish you would of started years ago, but you didn't because you had a great stable corporate job. Well I did the same thing, had a great job as a computer analyst for a large Chicago company (two red buildings). Worked there for over 15 years, thought I would retire from there, it didn't happen like I thought. First they downsized, then made us work longer hours to make up for the people they laid off. Then they downsized again, and yup, you guessed it, I was in that number. Now, like many of you, I wished I would of had something secure working on the side. I've rebounded since then and I'm doing very well. But I could of had a leg up, if I hadn't been so confident in my company, that wasn't my company at all. They got along just fine without me. Now, in my home based business I'm in charge. And with so many people out of work, it's starting to grow faster. Even in this bad economy, I'm seeing success, now that's recession proof... We see all kinds of people in home based businesses, people like doctors, pilots, lawyers, school teachers, pastors, etc. Why? Because of low overhead, low risk (most home based business go from $100 to a few thousand dollars to get started), and you can do it now, its there when you're ready. How much you can make depends on how much you spend to get started and how hard you're willing to work, not how smart or cute you are. It's not get rich quick, but it is possible to get rich. And, Now with internet marketing, the sky is the limit. So you say, Joy how do I get started, or some of you just got started in a home based business and need some marketing training, internet coaching, some kind of support. The first thing you have to understand is the market place pays to the person who can solve their problems, ease their pain. In order to do this you must have value, skill, be able to do something they cannot do or cannot do right now. Our wonderful glowing personalities are great, but people very seldom will pay for personality alone. Look at our celebrities, they are not celebrities just because they have a wonderful personality. They are talented in some way, and the one's that are not, we speak of them negatively. So get skilled in your home based business, people will pay you for your skill. You must have people skills as well. I will be blogging with some tips on people skills, on how to be your true self. We have to learn how to value and work with all kinds of people. Your leadership skills should be so awesome, that people will do what ever it takes to work with you. When it comes to your business, what do you need to do today? 1) Help others to succeed, and you will inevidibly succeed yourself. If your in your home based business just for the paycheck and not for the people, you will find yourself extremely frustrated. CLICK HERE to read more...
