There is something that successful people know that your broke friends will never ever tell you. That secret is when you join a home based business, any home based business, you can succeed or you could fail and the kicker is the choice is totally up to you!

You heard me right. Success is a choice! It always has been and it always will be. If you choose to fail you will and if you choose to succeed you’ll do that too.

So why would anyone choose to fail? Well, I really don’t think they know that they are doing it. If you join a business with the idea that you’ll “give it a try” you can stop right there. You’ve just made a choice to fail in that business!

If you join a business but you don’t want to tell any of your family and friends about it. Again, you’ve chosen failure instead of success. And if you join a business and barely work at it or only give it a month or two, you’ve chosen the road to failure.

So how then do you choose success? After all nobody joins a business and knowingly wants to fail. At least not any sane person that I know.

Well for starters, you can join the business with the mindset that it’s going to change your life forever. Don’t think small like an extra $500 or $1000 a month, think BIG. Nobody who “gives it a try” will ever see success. So take that phrase out of your vocabulary, right now.

You also have to be confident enough in your business to tell the people who are closest to you about it. This does not mean bugging your friends and family until they’re avoiding your calls and pretending like they’re not home. It just means that you should share it with them. If they say no, well that’s totally fine. You just shouldn’t be ashamed of what you’re doing.

One other way to choose success is to give yourself time to win. There isn’t a business alive that can promise you wealth in a couple of months. It’s going to take some time, but believe me it’s well worth it.

Get all the negativity out of your business and don’t let people tell you you’re going to fail. If you listen to them, you will fail.

Stop making the choice to fail and start winning! There is nothing like success in a home based business.

If you’re a part of a home based business, you’ve probably struggled with finding the time to work your business. Well, you’re 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 work your home business in the midst of your ultra busy life.

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

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

I promise you that even if you have the busiest of schedules, if you do this exercise you’ll find a ton of time you never even knew you had!

Another thing you can do to find more time for your business is to get up one hour earlier in the morning or go to bed one hour later at night. Of course, I don’t want you to be dead tired during the next day but one hour isn’t 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 some 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 success 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 therefore get nothing done.

Make the choice to find the time every single day to work on building your business. A home based business is like nothing else because you 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!

Marketing Lie #1: My product/business pretty much sells itself

There isn’t a product or a business out there that is good enough to sell itself without any marketing. Let’s be real, some MLM products are just plain stupid, some are OK and some are great and guess what: you can get rich marketing any one of them!

Your product can be the greatest in all of MLM but if you’re not working for it, it won’t work for you. Period!

The same can be said for your home based business opportunity. Just because you think it’s the greatest way to make money from home out there, doesn’t 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.

Marketing Lie #2: So and So probably doesn’t work that much

If you’re making money in a network marketing business, you are going to be working hard! People tend to look at the top earners in their companies and for some strange reason believe that they don’t work that hard or they “just got lucky.”

They didn’t just get lucky, they set business and financial goals and worked hard 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, set a goal and stop thinking they just got a lucky break.

Marketing Lie #3: I don’t have to improve myself

Everyone needs to do little things every month, every week and every day to improve themselves. Nobody is excluded from this. I’m not saying there is anything wrong with you, but there is always room for improvement. If you’re not working on yourself, your MLM business isn’t going to grow. At least not at the rate you want it to.

Marketing Lie #4: People won’t say “no” to me

Let me be blunt. You’re going to hear “no” a lot! Hearing the word no doesn’t mean that your business isn’t good or your product stinks. It just means that the person you’re talking to isn’t interested. Anyone who has had any kind of success in a home-based business has heard the word no multiple times. Get use to it, embrace it even. It has nothing to do with you it’s just the nature of the beast.

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

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

It’s awesome to shoot for greatness. Just don’t make your goals so high that when you don’t meet them you get discouraged and want to quit.

Marketing Lie #6: My business will build itself

This is a lot like the first lie but it’s worth saying again. NO business will 100% build itself. Sure there are ways you can automate your business and take a bit off your shoulders but it IS going to require some work on your part. Don’t let anyone tell you different.

Marketing Lie #7: My business doesn’t need and structure

Just because your home based business isn’t a job, doesn’t mean it doesn’t need structure. You can’t go weeks or even days upon days without working your MLM business and you can’t work 30 hours one week and 3 the next.

Your home based business needs some sort of structure if it’s really going 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 too loosey-goosey with it.

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

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 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, you’re just new to the idea of list building. Either way, this article is designed to show you how to build the largest list possible in the shortest amount of time. Because the money really is in the list!

The first thing you’re going to want to do is set up a squeeze page. Squeeze pages are used by almost all serious internet marketers and they allow people to take a look at your website and business only after they give you 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 aren’t comfortable putting in their phone number, address, or anything else and if you ask for it you won’t get as many opt-ins.

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 into 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 thing in the world because you know they are really serious about working from home!

If you aren’t currently using a squeeze page you need to get one, it’s the best thing that can happen to your online business. Many marketers use multiple squeeze pages in order to get the most opt-ins possible.

Another way to grow your list in a big, big way is by giving something away for free. People love free stuff! Don’t you? By creating your own product (usually like a free report or an E-book) and setting up a website to give it away for free, your opt-in list will grow by leaps and bounds! You’ll also, of course, have to make sure the product you give away is something that has something to do with working from home. That way your prospects will be targeted!

Don’t worry about bugging people with your emails because at the bottom of every email your auto-responder sends out there will be an opt-out link. That way the only people who stay on your list are the people who are really interested.

Finally, once you’ve set up your free product page and your business squeeze pages you’ll need to promote, promote, promote! If you don’t promote your websites, nobody (or very few) will ever find them. Use free sites like network marketing forums, Twitter, MySpace, FaceBook, You Tube and article websites to get the word out about your pages and you’ll have tons of free prospects in no time!

Follow these easy steps and you’ll have more prospects than you’ll have time to talk to in a day! Remember, your list won’t grow overnight or without some serious promotion. But if you’re looking for a cost effective way to have lots and lots of people to talk to, this the best method out there.

If you’re in a network marketing company, you know they type of people I’m talking about– fault finders. These people might think they’re doing some good but all they’re really doing is holding themselves and sometimes others back.

So how do you know if you’re a network marketing fault finder? Just check out this article and see if you are guilty of any of these 5 things. If you’ve done at least 3 out of the 5 things I’m about to list, watch out, you might be a fault finder!

#1 If you don’t like the most successful people in your company.

Look, you don’t have to love all the top earners in your company. However, if you don’t like most of them, chances are it’s not them it’s you! People who aren’t successful like to find the faults of those who are. What you should really be doing is following their steps to success.

Who cares if they wore something tacky to convention or they don’t know which (their, there, they’re) to use. If they’re having success they must be doing something right! Just focus on that.

#2 If you’re always wanting to improve your products.

It doesn’t just have to be the products, by the way, it could be the websites, the comp plan or whatever. The point is if you’re constantly wanting to improve things before you get started, you’ll probably never get started.

No company is perfect so if that’s what you’re waiting for ,you might as well get out now. People have made hundreds of thousands of dollars and even millions in MLM with some of the stupidest products imaginable. So really it just doesn’t matter.

#3 If you’re always emailing your upline with suggestions.

We’re sure your upline loves you. But we’re also sure that they don’t want to get 30 emails a week from you. This is especially true if you’re emails are all ideas about how the company, the team or they could improve.

Look, your upline probably can’t change things anyway, and honestly, it’s just gonna bring them down. So don’t do it!

#4 If you listen to stories of failure.

It’s true that for every 10 success stories in MLM there are about 100 stories of people who tried and failed. Don’t listen to them!

We’re sorry your cousins, best friends, aunt lost some money 15 years ago but listening to that kind of negativity doesn’t do anybody any good.

#5 If you focus on the details.

When it comes to success in MLM, the details are not important. So stop focusing on them! Many, many successful 6 figure earners couldn’t tell you what they make on their 7^th level. So why are you worried about it?

If you see yourself in any of these 5 examples, you might just be a network marketing fault finder. But despair not! You can always turn away from your fault finding ways, and trust me, when you do you’re going to see a whole lot more success!

Stop finding the fault in your business and start making money in it! Isn’t that why you started a home based business in the first place?

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’re a father, your desire to be a stay at home dad can be just as great. Whether you’re a single father or a man who wants to spend more time with his kids and his wife. I’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 isn’t even something that might enter their mind. After all, men are traditionally the ones who are suppose to leave 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 incredibly income for them. Possibly even more than you’re making right now.

Let’s get one thing straight, however, 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’ve ever been a part of a home based 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 and wherever 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 marketing online, you can do it at 2 in the morning if you want. It’s 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’re working ever again! Become a full time stay at home dad and spend more time with your family and less time with your boss!

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 home based 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 are usually begging their mom or dad for a toy. In that moment, in the mind of that 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 that 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 quite literally had no other option but to succeed!

In that moment, in that 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 $100,000 a year working from home you shouldn’t sell 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 that 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 with him, 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. 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 wants to play, great! If not, at least he knows.

Have an idea of what I’m 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 your hands and if they want it, awesome! If they don’t so what.

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

Could you possibly be hurting your chances for success in your home based business and not even know it? Check out the 5 top reasons in this article to find out what you could be doing to harm your business!

#1. Being embarrassed of your business

If you’re not proud and excited about your business, why should anyone else be? When you talk to people about your home based business, you have to speak with authority and excitement. When people ask you what you do for a living, it is a perfect opportunity to tell them about your business. So don’t be shy!

I see so many people speak about their business like it’s some sort of shameful, horrible thing. Now why would anyone want to be in your business if you present it like that?

#2. Not tracking your progress

Business owners have to track their progress to know how close they are to their goals and what it is going to take to get them the rest of the way. As a home based business owner, you should be doing the same thing. If you’re not tracking your progress, you’re hurting your business!

#3. Not listening to the leaders

If there is someone in your home business opportunity who is making 6 or 7 figures and you’re not, doesn’t it just make sense that you should be listening to them and doing what they’re doing?

It’s astonishing the amount of people who won’t simply follow what the successful people are doing. After all, if you’re not successful yet and they are, they have to know something, right?

#4. Not working enough

Working a couple hours a week isn’t enough to build a successful home business. You don’t have to work your fingers to the bone, but you have to get in there and work consistently, about 10 – 15+ hours a week, or it’s not even worth it to be in the business.

#5. Not enjoying the process

Working your home based business should be FUN! OK, so it won’t be fun all the time–but it should be a lot of the time. If you’re not having fun along the way, then you’re not doing it right. If you really want to be successful, you have to learn to enjoy the process. That’s what will keep you in the game long enough to start making the good money!

If you’re under the age of 25 you are in an amazing position! Did you know that you can build a home based business in well under 5 years? That means you can be set for life by the time you’re 30! I told you… you’re in an amazing position!

When you are in your early 20’s you are setting yourself up for the rest of your life. Most men and women under 25 are in college trying to earn a degree that will help them lead a better life. However, did you know that by the time you get that degree you could have been earning 5, 6 or even 7 figures working from home?

I’m not telling you not to go to college, but you deserve to know that there are other options for young adults like you out there.

What I have found is that most people don’t even consider a home based business until they are much older. Until maybe they’ve been laid off or their life just isn’t going as planned, but what would happen if they started their own business when they were younger? Well they’d be in a much different position now that’s for sure.

Even if you’re excited about going to college a home based business can be the perfect part time job. Why? Because you can mold your work schedule to fit into your life. If you have classes in the mornings you can work at night and if you’re busy on the weekends you can work during the week only… it really is completely up to you!

One thing to look out for if you’re a young adult thinking about joining a home based business. Be prepared for people to tell you that you can’t do it. Many people are simply misinformed when it comes to home based businesses. They hear the words and they automatically think it’s a scam. This is just not true. There are many wonderful and completely legal home based businesses out there. So just get use to ignoring the haters.

If you do decide to start working from home you should know a few things:

1. All home based businesses cost money to start (the amount of money will vary from company to company)

2. All home based businesses are different

3. The home based business of today is not the same as your parents MLM company from 15 years ago

4. Building a home based business isn’t an overnight thing and it will take work

If you feel that a home business might be right for you start getting more information today, you could very well be set for life before the age of 30!

Hands down one of the best things about working your home based business is the fact that you don’t have to stay at home! Sure it’s nice to have a home office where you can settle in and get work done but sometimes there is nothing better than getting out, having fun and making money at the same time!

So where can you go if you want to get out of the house and still find time to work? Almost anywhere! But if you’re running low in inspiration, here are a few of my favorite ideas!

1. The coffee shop. Many local coffee shops offer free Wi-Fi internet so just grab your cell phone and laptop and you’re ready to go! Besides, being around the hustle and bustle of people going and coming home from work can make you especially thankful that you work from home.

2. The park. If it’s nice weather, there is nothing like getting outside and enjoying the day! Almost all cell phone providers cell wireless internet cards. These will allow you to literally work anywhere. If you have kids this is an especially nice idea because you can watch them play and have a good time and still manage to get your work done.

3. On vacation. Want to have a long relaxing vacation and still get some work done? Why not bring you work on the road with you? You can have fun during the day and still get some things done at night. This will allow you to take an even longer vacation because you’re not worried about falling behind on anything! Vacations are also a great time to shoot some videos to help market your business!

4. By the pool. Want to build an incredible income and get a tan? Relax by the pool and get some sun while at the same time being productive. Just remember the sun block!

5. In the back yard. Enjoy the day, watch the kids and still get your work done! Bonus points if you have a hammock!

The possibilities are endless when you work from home! Remember just because you work from home doesn’t mean you have to stay there! Get out there and enjoy life while making money along the way.
