RESOURCES YOU NEED TO SUCCEED

If you are thinking of setting up any business your first steps are the difference to success or failure, understanding what you want from the investment, how much effort and time is required and the security or lifespan of the venture, once you have established this concept then you would need to rally your resources and take all the variables into account, risk, exposure to debt, cash flow, tax laws. After taking advice from reputable people, that is people that have succeeded in similar ventures, then and only then make a decision, borrow or offer other investors the opportunity to back your business plan for a share of the proposed profits, probably in 2 to 5 years, MAYBE????? Now that is how simple it is start your down the road bricks and mortar business. That is a real business because you have everything to lose, your money , your home , your family, so with this over their head people feel that they are IN BUSINESS.

THERE IS NO GUARANTEE OF SUCCESS in any business ! It is ALL up to you.

Compare the risk associated to a good home based business. Over the next few posts I would like to expand to this area of business, where you buy a membership into the global system of direct sales for the price of a meal out for four at a good restaurant, PART TIME building a business network locally as well as participating in a global seamless network now operating in ten countries. Members from all these countries profit share and can generate incomes that are banked into their accounts in their country and currency, paying tax in their country. So now you have to invest the effort, starting part time with people prepared to support you by investing their in time and money to help you succeed.

Resources to Build a GREAT home based business.

1. There is no doubt that people that are approached to build home based businesses have no idea what to do, I have spent some time searching the web for articles and information on people and their experiences with this style of business. I have come across a lot of hate sites aimed at questionable practices citing one business in particular and some websites that warn about scams and illegal operators, bottom line all unfortunately are cynical and found that their was hardly any credible balance in the information. Anyone visiting these sites would find it hard to step out and give any opportunity a go. I assume that the people that started these sites did so out of anger and frustration, justified in some cases but now they make good incomes from their sites (maybe) and that could be their reason to keep the rage going, but to assume could make an ASS of U & ME, so I won't go down that road.
The result is people regurgitate incidents in some cases up to 10 years ago. Give me a break, they probably don't want to admit that they lacked the ability to look in the mirror and say would I follow me? Yes that is the hardest question to ask yourself, because leaders are not born, leaders rise from the ashes of hard times, anyone can lead in easy times. If you are a good student then you can become a great leader. This style of business works on a duplication process and grows according to the quality not quantity of new members.
There are 3 types of leaders
1. A Reluctant Leader. ( I just got this job what do I do)
2. A Positional Leader. (When the going gets tuff the weak get out of here)
3. A Visionary Leader. ( When the going gets tuff the Tuff get it GOING)
Under pressure comes the gem and people have many facets that need polishing, are you big enough to admit it? Or is your ego larger than your ability to understand.
Now we get to learning THE HOW TO.
The cost of personal development. For some this will test you, if you have bad experiences or someone has warned you that tapes and functions will fry your brain that you will grow two heads with eyes in the back as well, you will become a zombie with no brain to make your own mind up, then I cannot help you. You have already been brain washed . Why do major companies send their employees to coaching and motivational conferences? Maybe they are prepared to invest in their staff so they may improve. WHY not invest in yourself and don't complain about the cost, didn't you think you are worth more money, this is called value adding. If your employer sees value in you for their goals, you are encouraged to do more with the promise that they are prepared to pay you more, so back to school or university chasing the extra letters behind the name. Does this mean you are value added or just more educated because the world is full of educated derelicts, (no disrespect) for whatever the reason highly educated people work as gardeners and laborers, some are so over qualified they cannot find employment or they are burnt out by the years study or the weight of responsibility, that they opted for a different lifestyle.
Does a job give you security? Well how secure do you feel now in your current occupation, as an example would you feel comfortable buying a home and committing yourself to paying it off for the next 25 years to 30 years? Will you be in the same job at the end. The stats don't lie, check it out, it will shock you that during the average working life most people could experience 5 job changes in their lifetime.
Let's finish this post with some more stats, excluding Franchise type but going into a bricks and mortar style general business, you would be better going to a casino and playing two-up (Aussie gambling game played with two coins) heads or tails 50-50 chance of winning or losing. Again the stats indicate that after 5 years 85% of new start up businesses are no longer operating or bankrupt, from the 15% more will fail and the remaining businesses that grow and flourish continue to pay a high price in time and effort, increasing their investment to stay on top. For some the result has had devastating circumstances with personal loss, homes sold, even marriages collapse from the stress of losing everything. The dream was right, but was the vehicle the right choice?

WHAT IS THE RISK
In a quality home based business you risk NOTHING compared to a bricks and mortar business that has staff, rents, fixtures, stock, etc. Never give up on yourself, you will never fail. If you see value in reading, listening and mixing with successful people then you will accelerate your progress . With positive influence, encouragement and coaching your hope of better things will be brighter than ever and achievable. Invest to progress, are you worth it?
Time and peace of mind are the goals we looked for out of this investment, we wanted the success financially and personally to get our life back, we are still on that journey, this is not about us, ask the question, What can it do for me ? That's who really counts in this post. WE are happy to teach you the way from thinking to doing to succeeding.

So if you are prepared to get out of your comfort zone and develop incomes that can give you choices, could you be excited? Do what you want, when you want, wouldn't that be great?

Thank you for emails and encouragement, your comments have given me inspiration that you are looking at truly getting out of your rut. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. If you create change maybe you will like it a lot better than staying the same. If you want to be successful mix with successful people, the opposite will give you the opposite result.

Recommend this site to a friend, they may get something from it too.
