Set A Goal And Allow Yourself To Reach That Goal!

by Laura Hand on August 14, 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 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!
