Warning! Your Home Business May Be In Peril Of Dying..

Written by Marie on Jan 6th, 2009 | Filed under: All Posts, Motivational Leadership, Training

Working from home may be great but there are 5 things that can spell disaster for your business if they are not caught early.

  1. Just living every day has so many distractions that can greatly affect your business.  If you get too distracted and don’t have the time to finish a project you scheduled to complete, you won’t be making any money.  The downside of that is your self image can suffer, guilt kicks in and you know that what got done was necessary but…
  2. Are you busy doing your network marketing business every day but don’t seem to be getting anywhere?  Do you think that maybe what you have been doing is just not the right thing to get you moving rather than having movement?    Building your business requires you to communicate, to attend events, to prospect.  It may be time to reflect on what is really going on.
  3. Are you convinced your MLM business will work or not?  Do you think that this is just a pie in the sky, that you are currently just trying it out to see if it will work?  You need to be really clear on this because it is your belief that this will work that will carry you through.  Nothing else.
  4. So you’re doing business but how organized are you?.  Everyone needs structure or things start to fall apart.  So start a daily, weekly and monthly agenda and know what you should be doing during specific hours.  At least if it’s there staring you in the face you are more likely to pay attention to it.
  5. Similarly to number 3, but more to the point is this question, “Are you serious about your business?”  Playing will not give you the results you are looking for.  Being serious means that you will do every day what will help your business succeed.  If it means talking to new people, finding customers and prospecting for new business partners, then so be it.

So are you about to let your home business suffer because of the these 5 things?  Identify and erase them early on and your motions will turn into movement in the right direction.


Objection: “But I Just Don’t Have The Time!”…

How often do we hear that excuse or objection?

I shouldn’t be so harsh though because most of the time it’s probably true.

People are very busy and finding an hour here or there to do network marketing can be a challenge.

So what do you tell someone when they say they have no time to do this business?

First step is to explain what leverage is all about. We hear it often but do people really understand the concept?

Network marketing is not a conventional business. This is not exchanging two hours of work for two hours of pay.

Let’s say you find that you have only two hours a week to work your business.

Well, 2 hours at your real job will pay you what they are worth to your boss. Now two hours doing network marketing will leverage the time of all of your business partners (downline) and pay you much more than your hourly wage will.

That’s the magic of network marketing.

What you can do in 2 hours is multiplied greatly by the number of people under you doing the same thing.

What does this spell?

FREEDOM!

The bigger you become, the more hours you will be leveraging and getting paid for.

Once your contact understands the idea of leveraging, they may be more open to its possibilities and find 1 or 2 hours a week at first. As they start to earn on their leverage, they may soon find that 2 hours a week is just not enough.

A second component to the no time issue is to help them structure their time in order to see exactly what time can be spent on their business.

What happens in a case like this is that people find how scattered their day is to start off with and a good weekly plan can make all the difference in freeing up minutes here and there that can be used either for the business or to spend with family.

Every body wins in this business especially if they are taught well through sound training.
