Doing What Comes Naturally In Your Home Business

No, this is not going to be a racy article, but it is a valid comparison of the topic at hand. For those who are native English speakers, that phrase in my title usually has to do with reproduction. That's a topic I want to discuss with you in your home business.

When I got started thinking about my home business, I came from a technical background. I got to thinking about all the complex ways I would leverage my skills and setup a marketing system for my home business that would be ….well in my opinion, genius.

I got to figuring out all of how I was going to put this system together, and then it dawned on me as I was listening to a trainer in the home business area. This trainer was making the point that when attracting people to your home business, they have to see at least two things right from the beginning: The first is abbreviated like a radio station – WIIFM – or What's in it for Me?

The second thing people want to see is that they can do it too! It hit me at that point that if I was working on some great marketing system that took a lot of the skills I have been blessed with, then it would require someone with at least as much technical skill as me to reproduce what I had done.

That's why I picked the title. Reproduction is vital to many home businesses that are leveraged or networked. Whatever system you use for your home business, if you want others to join in and have success, then they have to be able to reproduce what you have done.

Whatever system you have for marketing your business opportunity has to be reproducible. Not only is it not a good idea to use some very complex technical system, it is also a bad idea to invest some huge amount of money into marketing, and then expect to attract people into your home business that want to be able to do it with little money.

If you haven't yet joined a home business opportunity, be aware of the process you go through when you learn about one and decide if it is for you. Look for one that has a very reproducible system for growing your home business. If you can find that, then you have more of a mass appeal to many people from all walks of life and economic statuses.

No matter how good a product is, or how great a compensation plan offered, make sure every part of this home business opportunity is reproducible by the type of people you are looking to as your market. From marketing to enrolling to training – the best system is easy to use, and won't scare people away or discourage them. Keep looking, there are many reproducible businesses out there!

Do You Dream BIG Dreams For Your Online Business?

I received an e-mail from someone this week, and it became apparent to me that he simply didn't believe that he could make anything work... He didn't believe that he could start making the money that he told me he wanted to make...

He WANTED to make it, but he didn't BELIEVE he could!

I'm a strong believer in the saying that you are where you want to be... For example, you live where you do because you choose to, and you earn as much as you do because that's what you've chosen to earn...

'Hold on! I want to earn more than I do at the moment...' I hear you cry!!

Well, I've been there too and unless I changed my belief and my habits (good or bad)... nothing was ever going to change.

Indeed, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results...

So, how did I, and how do you, make changes to what we believe... and, in turn, what we achieve?

Well, for me, I didn't believe that I should live in a large house, drive a sports car, or even work for myself. So, if I believed that... I certainly wasn't going to 'realise' that lifestyle.

Does that make sense?

However, once I'd had enough of what I was doing...

(and for me this was commuting each and every day, having to answer to a boss, working long hours and not earning enough money for all my hard work...)

I needed to change my belief... My belief of where I saw myself and what I saw myself doing.

I hope you're still with me, as this is crucial to where you are and what you're doing in 12 months time, 2 years time and even 10 years time.

So what do you need to do?

Well, you really do need a goal, a visual representation of where you see yourself in 2 months time, 4 months time, and 6 months time...

Close your eyes and picture yourself in front of your new house, or sitting in your office at home – working for yourself... Driving your new car, or planning that luxury holiday you've always wanted... and enjoying your financial freedom that your new home-based online business has given you.

Now, what do you need to change... in order to make this happen? For me, I was wasting a few hours here and there watching television, or just trying to switch off (after a long day working for someone else). Well, these hours add up, so if you use these hours just to start thinking... then you've changed perhaps one of the worst habits out there.

I know, I used to do it myself!

If it's not TV, then look at how you spend each and every hour of your day... Can you allocate an hour or so for your future?

I suggest that during this time... you start thinking about where you want to be... I used to have a Picture of a Porsche on the desktop of my computer, and a simple cut out from the newspaper of a beautiful detached house that both my girlfriend and I really liked.

Now this is simple to do, but is very important. It reminds you of why you're doing what you're doing and precisely what your end result will be... financial freedom.

Plus, it makes your dreams real – something that you can indeed touch and feel.

Dreams are good – dreams are what keep us going, but dreams are nothing without action!

Action can and should be very small changes in your belief, and to your habits - each and every week... and before you know it, you'll be dreaming bigger and bigger dreams.
