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.

SUPER-SIZED, DOWN-SIZED, AND GLOBALIZED The Changing Face of America’s Workplace

America’s workplace has changed. People my age (Gen-X’ers) will change careers six times. Corporate America has down-sized and Small Business is now Big Business! We are in the middle of a Home-Based Business Boom with 50,000 new Home-Based Businesses starting weekly according to www.entrepreneurmag.com People no longer frown at those who work from home but envy them.

Several Key Factors to Look for when Choosing a home based business:

Find a reputable company with proven leadership. Whether you are starting a traditional business, or joining a Network Marketing Company; a company is only as good as its leaders. Do your homework, ask questions, and investigate. A company can ultimately only be as good as the folks at the top.
Is it the right industry? Servicing retiring baby boomers is IN and will be IN for a LONG TIME! The fastest growing segment of the population is those over 100! Companies that service this demographic will be in business for a LONG time.
Go Global. In his book: “The World is Flat” Thomas Friedman points out that with the advent of Globalization, the world is a level playing field. The average Jane/Joe can now do a better job, many times, than the big guys. Start with a company that is either global in scope or can go global with minimal effort. Is the product/service consumable? Is the product/service border friendly?
Infrastructure. In their new book: “Why We Want You to be Rich” Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki talk about leverage. Smart people LEVERAGE themselves for maximum profitability. America’s first billionaire, J. Paul Getty said: “I’d rather have 1% of 100 people’s efforts than 100% of my own. Kiyosaki says, “Successful people look for and build Networks everyone else just looks for work.” Whether it’s a home based business, or traditional business; ask yourself, “Is the infra-structure and network in place to sustain long term growth and expansion?
Use the Internet. Don’t fear it, use it. You don’t have to be a “nerd” to “cash-in” on this trend that has only just begun. Get on social networks and start blogging. Let people find you and use your help as the expert you are.

Time is moving and CHANGE is the only constant. Find something you are passionate about, plug into a success system, and let’s have fun, help people, and make a lot of money!
