Many people buy into a home based business and expect to have massive success without laying the proper foundation. I am going to lay a foundation for you so that you can move forward with reasonable expectations and a track to run on.
In order to be successful, you've got to do some very specific activities to build a foundation for your long term financial future.
#1) You Must Get and Stay on Autoship
Any home business worth buying should have an autoship order for their products. This will ensure that you never miss a monthly shipment of your product. By ordering monthly, you will develop your own story for the company products. This is also a monkey see, monkey do business. How can you expect your distributors to order the product every month if you do not? It really comes down to a matter of ethics.
This also shows intent to make a profit in your business. Since most of the compensation plans revolve around the purchase of products, by purchasing the products every month, the IRS can tell that you are serious about building your business.
#2) Set Up a Tax File
Did you know that just for running a home based business, the government allows you to write off thousands of dollars every year in taxes? It's true. By saving your receipts for business expenses, you can save thousands of dollars per year in tax write-offs! This fact alone is one of the biggest reasons to run your business. While you are actively making money, you can save money too! This will increase your profits even more and give you more money to re-invest back into your enterprise.
#3) Set and Write Down Your 90, 180 & 360 Day Personal and Income Goals
This is a critical for your success. It is true that people who write their goals down on paper and share them with others, are 90% more likely to reach them than those who don't.
It's all about seeing the possibilities as probabilities; Beginning with the end in mind; speaking into existence the act that will follow. Envisioning yourself receiving monthly checks from your company, that could set you and your family up financially for the rest of your life. Would it be worth it, to take the time to write these personal and income goals down right away? You bet!
Now that you have set yourself up on autoship, set up your tax file, and written down your goals, it is time to get started building your business.
This is where we come in. The top income earners in each and every company all have several things in common. They are coachable, teachable and they all have a desire to learn new skills.
There is a coaching program called 180daystogreatness that is now available to everyone on the internet. The creator and our coach is Nadira Haniff. She teaches skills that will absolutely set you up for the rest of your life in business. Learn more about this revolutionary business building program today.
In my opinion, it does not do any good to invest the money, time and energy into getting started in business if you are not willing to invest in yourself and develop the skills you are going to need to succeed.

The Twelve Success Factors Part 4
There is no easy way to become successful. It takes a lot of hard work and most of all perseverance. There are twelve factors that you can learn and once they are applied it will increase your ability for lasting success.
Return on Investment
Time is a commodity that most of us do not even think about. How we spend our time and the activities that we do can make a difference in our success. Once time is spent it is gone forever. We need to think about doing things that will give us a great return on our investment. We only have 24 hours – use it wisely!!
A quote unsure of the author:
“Every morning you are handed 24 golden hours. They are one of the few things in this world that you get free of charge. If you had all the money in the world, you couldn’t buy an extra hour. What will you do with this priceless treasure?”
The Power of the Mind
The mind has incredible power. It gives you unrealized potential that you can get what you want from life. It gives you the power to dream and the power to realize those dreams if you have the right mindset and are willing to stay focused.
Napolean Hill once said, “Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe. He can achieve.”
The Will to Succeed
Above all else you need the will to succeed. It is the will to succeed that gets every successful person to the top. It is that will that gives them the ability to press on when all looks dark, to persist against all odds, good and bad. When you have that will you can pick your self up after a failure, learn from the mistakes that you made and carry on with more determination then when you started.
You may have to dig deep at times but it is this will to succeed that separates the achievers from the dreamers.

The Twelve Success Factors in Your Home Based Business - Part 3
There is no easy way to become successful. It takes a lot of hard work and most of all perseverance. There are twelve factors that you can learn and once they are applied it will increase your ability for lasting success.
Self-Awareness
Self-awareness is being conscious of our actions, feelings, attitudes and their effects. Once we have full self-awareness we get to be much better at determining which actions benefit us and which actions do not.
We sometimes, as humans, have a tendency to make excuses for not achieving the goals that we have made for ourselves. Once we are aware of the excuses that we make and we stop blaming others we often start searching for ways that we can accomplish our goals rather than looking for the reasons why we cannot get something done.
Act “As If”
In order to achieve success we have to act as if we already have success. The video/book The Secret was very good at trying to get this point across. We attract to us the way that we think. If we act as if we will be successful we will become successful much quicker. You do of course still have to do the work to get there but you will attract success to you much quicker. I am not saying go buy a mansion, I am speaking about the traits that a successful person has. Those traits are that of focus, perseverance, dedication and passion.
Zero-Based Thinking
It sometimes becomes difficult to make decisions when we are trying to succeed. So we need to apply a technique called zero-based thinking. It is simply a matter of asking yourself a few questions that will clear your mind and give you an honest answer. The question is simply “If I was not doing this right now and knowing what I already know would I start it up again?” If you say no then you best change the path you are taking. If you say yes then stay focused and drive to the finish line.
Once you start to ask that simple question you can make decisions quickly and without distractions.

The Twelve Success Factors in Your Home Based Business - Part 2
There is no easy way to become successful. It takes a lot of hard work and most of all perseverance. There are twelve factors that you can learn and once they are applied it will increase your ability for lasting success.
Two Degrees of Separation
This is a principle that states if you habitually change something that you do everyday, even by the smallest amount, you can dramatically change you future.
Failure
Successful people know that failure precedes success but it is how you react to those failures that determine how successful you will be in life. You have to treat every failure as a learning experience, an opportunity to do better next time.
You have to learn to view failure as a stepping-stone to success. Then and only then will it bring us closer to our goals.
Positive Habits
Habits are activities that we do daily and because we have done them so often we do not have to think about them or put any effort into them. They just come naturally to us. The habits that you choose could change your life dramatically either in a negative or a positive way.
When you have a negative habit and you want to change it into something positive you do have to realize that sometimes things may get a little worse before they get better as it takes time for your conscious and unconscious mind to grasp what you are trying to do. Focus is the key here because without consciously focusing on the change you will not be able to change the habit for any length of time.
It is in your best interest to change those bad habits into good habits so you will enjoy future success.
Please join me over the next few days to catch the remainder of the twelve success factors.

The Twelve Success Factors in Your Home Based Business - Part 1
There is no easy way to become successful. I have learned over time that there are really only twelve factors in your home based business and in your life that determine your success. It takes a lot of hard work and most of all perseverance. Once you learn these factors and they are applied it will increase your ability for lasting success.
Choices
Whether we like where we are in life at this present time or we dream of being someplace bigger and better we all have to realize that we are where we are today because of the choices that we have made in the past. We are 100 % responsible for where we are and once we all realize that then and only then are we mentally capable of moving on to greater success.
How we react to different situations in our day-to-day life dramatically affects the direction that you will be going. Remember success is a matter of choices and only you can make the choices that are right for you.
Positive Attitude
We all know the saying that the cup is either half full or half empty. Those with a positive attitude will always see the cup as half full and the bright side to any situation. People tend to follow others that think and act positively because they are more fun to be around. They are the ones that will have people follow them no matter what they are doing in life because they make people feel good about themselves. Those of us that tend to have a negative attitude seem to be depressed, lonely and miserable.
If you would like to succeed in life remember that attitude plays a bigger role then what you may think. A positive attitude is everything.
Focus
We need to learn to focus on the end results and accomplish tasks that are critical to our success. When working on daily tasks we need to ask ourselves, “Will that put us closer to achieving our goals” and if the answer is NO then we need to stop, refocus and start on another task so that we are heading in the right direction. When you have a home-based business it becomes very easy to do menial tasks that waste our time because there is no one around to hold us accountable.
When you learn to focus and act on the end results you head in that direction because you are not wasting a lot of time and energy doing the small, menial things. You focus on the goal, see the end result and you increase your ability to achieve success.
