| The Entrepreneurial Myth: Why You Dont Have to Sacrifice Your Marriage, Your Job or Your Sanity To Be A Successful Entrepreneur!
You know the stereotype: A typical entrepreneur as a workaholic,
running the business at the cost of family and personal time.
But it doesn’t have to be that way! A growing number of North
Americans are choosing to invest in their own and their family’s
future by dedicating 10 to 20 hours every week to a part-time
home-based business. Newsweek magazine reports that by the year
2005, it’s anticipated that 50% of the households in the United
States will be involved in a home-based business!
Home-based business is a $427 billion a year industry. That’s
bigger than General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler all put together.
The success rate for home-based businesses is over 80% and
average home-based business owners pay themselves between
$50,000 and $250,000 a year. BUT … only with the right team and
the right company with a track record that can PROVE their
success! Running your own small business can reap huge rewards,
including tax write-offs for entertainment, travel, office space
and operating expenses.
So what DOES it take to achieve success working from home?
Traditional businesses offering a product or a service often
require significant start-up investment so increasingly, people
who have a significant desire to change their life circumstances
but who don’t have a lot of money to spend are turning to a
unique business model that offers the wonderful advantage of not
having to sell or deliver products, collect money or complete
complicated paperwork.
Basically, starting this business requires that consumers simply
switch stores to fully guaranteed products. The buyer’s decision
is simple: since we all buy personal care, household cleaning,
laundry, vitamin/nutritional and skin care/cosmetics products on
a monthly basis, there’s no question about WHETHER to buy these
types of products, but only a decision about WHERE to purchase
them. Therefore, this business model involves spending no
additional money to the usual household budget.
In exchange for their loyalty, customers are paid anywhere from
7 – 20% commission on word-of-mouth referrals, depending on the
number of customers personally eferred. “Helping People” bonuses
can also be a significant source of income. Although traditional
methods of referring customers to set up month-to-month accounts
with the company have relied on community networking, great
strides are now being made using technologies such as the
internet and conference calling. Dedicated customers can also
choose to benefit from a wide range of money-saving services,
from long distance savings and prescription discounts, to travel
club membership and vehicle purchase programs.
Is this the right business model for you? Ask yourself: “Why do
I want to earn an income from home?” A clear and compelling
reason will provide the stamina it takes to persist with the
business during inevitable slow periods. Are you someone who
naturally shares recommendations with friends and family? Do you
like talking with people, and are you willing to commit to
assisting others to achieve success on their own terms?
What does it take to actually achieve financial success? The
three T’s: Training, Tools, and Teamwork. A strong mentor
offering training and ongoing support is an important element in
your success. Consistent effort using tools such as conference
calls, online conferencing and online training is critical to
build a thriving business. Successful people set regular
business hours, commit to working them regularly, and enlist
family support, so everyone understands that working hours are
just that – for working. The right mix of teamwork, resources
and coaching is a winning combination!
Finally, coachability is key. This is a business of duplication.
It’s simple! The tools, training and support are provided, all
you need to do is plug in and follow the lead of successful
people above you. Surprisingly, online businesses can yield
maximum rewards in developing close relationships with people
who often become more than just business partners, but lifelong
friends!
This business requires developing personal strengths and the
willingness to help others reach their goals. It’s a business of
leadership, guiding and coaching others to success using the
simple, duplicable steps that all successful business-builders
are willing to follow!
