Are You Ready to Build a Thriving Home Based Business?

If you are ready to build a thriving home based business then pay close attention to the words of Dale Carnegie who said: "You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you."

Unfortunately, most salespeople do not spend enough time letting their customer talk to develop a solid relationship.

When trying to understand how to network, we need to learn that “networking is about forming relationships and creating win-win situations.”

In order to help the other person we have to look for a solution to a problem they have.

That solution might be simply passing along a pertinent piece of information. It may be by giving them a referral, or making an introduction. It doesn't matter in what way you help people. The important thing is that you give freely and often.

You see, that's what distinguishes the Networking Superstar from someone who simply networks. It's his/her ability to understand the importance of making things happen for other people instead of concentrating all their energy on themselves.

You've heard it a million times: what goes around comes around; people support people who support them. Simply help enough other people get business and the business you are seeking will, in turn, come your way.

How are you supposed to know what people need or how you can help? It's very simple: become a good listener. Listen to what they say...and to what they don't say. Provide solutions before they even know they have a problem. The act of giving applies to all facets of our lives.

Information is power so you have to use your brain as a file cabinet. Store every resource, every contact, every idea you've ever had, any article you have read, and all your expertise in there and draw on its contents freely and often to help other people. They, in turn will help you. That is how you create win-win situations. And that is how your business begins to grow.

Give openly and freely, expecting nothing in return. It may not come back to you immediately. It may not come back to you directly, but it will come back to you eventually.
