Your Quest For Your Own Home Based Business

Sunday, October 24th, 2010

Ask a bunch of people if they like the job they do and most of them are guaranteed to tell you no. The truth is that most people have jobs that they do not enjoy and most would prefer to be working for themselves. The problem is they do not know what to do to get started. The fact is your hunt for a home based business must take priority or you are always going to have to work at a job you do not like.

The top priority for anyone who wants to start a home based business should be finding a solid idea. The most successful entrepreneurs took something they were passionate about and turned this passion into a business. You, too, can do the same thing, by simply taking your passion one step further.

When you have decided on an idea, you then must find a way to turn this idea into a solid business idea. How can you make money from this idea? Can you sell information? Would you prefer to sell products in this niche? There are numerous ways you can use to set your business up, but the best ways involve creating multiple streams of income. In other words, your income should never rely on just one method of making it.

Of course, you could have come up with best idea, but if you do not know how to draw attention to your new business, it really will not matter. If you have no experience in advertising, learn what you can about marketing a business and it will help you to get the best start.

You should not have to give in and continue working a job if you do not like it. You have to make it your priority to hunt for a home based business idea. While it may be a dream, it does not have to turn into an impossible dream. Millions of people work from home and you should be able to enjoy this, too.

Goal Setting, Balance And Your Home Based Business (or MLM) Results

Friday, September 17th, 2010

This thought today is short and simple BUT powerful!

I hear all the time people say, “I don’t have time” or “You don’t understand, I have kids” or “Fill in the blank”.

Hey, I’m not here to tell you what to do and chances I’m preaching to the choir if you’re already in a home based biz. However, you may or may not be applying your time effectively.

Are you really getting the results you desire?

Figure out a time commitment that works for you and your family. As an example, commit to just one hour per day to building the business, while working a full time job. If you’re full time at home, then work it!

While the time might sound small one hour a day) it works and becomes a daily goal, helps you focus and become effective in the time allotted.

Goal setting can get out of hand if you’re goals aren’t realistic.

First, believe in your dreams and go for it….but baby steps, baby steps. What I mean is set a few goals that you can achieve in the next 30 days or less. Build that mindset muscle and see self esteem grow and eventually go through the roof.

Next, decide on some 60 day and 90 days goals each time building towards more success and satisfaction. Hey, being a Double Whammy Bammy Blue Diamond is great but how about making your first sale or your first $1,000 or $2,000 month and go from there? Does that make sense?

The major thing is keep it simple and focused on your highest payoff activities. An example, would be to make sure you speak to (yes, I said speak to) 3 people a day about your business opportunity. Another example, would be to have one piece of marketing implemented and done weekly. Still yet, commit to a certain amount of follow up (specific number and goal) in order to collect a decision from a prospect, etc.

The major problem is to lose focus and use your time to straighten up your desk or listening to all the company training calls, etc. Just make sure 80% of your time spent on working your business is results-driven activity.

As you get better at running your business it gets easier to figure out ways to achieve goals in a realistic time frame. I’m here if you need my assistence.

You can do it!

STOP Your Fears. Is Time To Explode Your Potential!

Wednesday, September 15th, 2010

WHAT would you do if you could put fear aside?

What would you be able to do, create and accomplish? If you really take the time to imagine this; you’ll feel like a big weight has been lifted from your shoulders. By destroying FEAR you can begin living and feel the freedom you have always desired.

The FEAR keeps us chained to our limiting beliefs and insecurities and holds us back from true success, harmony and happiness. If we didn’t buy-in to the fear, it would have no power over us.

How do you overcome fear? I came from good parents but a father that always told me to watch out for this or that. He warned me and warned me about this or that and more; all the while to “protect” me from life. Let me tell you, years and years of hearing; no, don’t do that, watch out for this… takes a toll on the emotions.

I developed a fear of what others thought of me; fear of how I looked, fear if I was good enough; smart enough, fear of being rejected, fear of not being loved and much more but I think you get the idea.

After high school I began to listen to Tony Robbins, Jim Rohn, Les Brown, Dennis Waitley and more and my fear began to get replaced with positive ideas and the possibility of being success, self-worth and happy, etc. I remember being just 18 years of age and listening to these great speaks tell ME; that I could do it, that I could succeed, that I can visualize success and a life of happiness and abundance. Thank God I was young and nave; because I bought into it hook, line and sinker! This didn’t happen overnight!

Being an entrepreneur has been a BIG benefit in helping me overcome many of the fears and limiting beliefs that I had had carried inside of me until this point.

The first time I had to speak to a group, I was extremely nervous and intimidated… But I did it, and today I love speaking to others in person, on video and cherish the opportunity to inspire those around me.

After taking the actions, becasue I believe in myself, the more I got involved with the word “can do” information; the more I overcame that fear. In other words, the “taking action” was in itself a cure for FEAR.

Does owning a business cause or cure fear? I feel owning your own business is so much more than making money, financial success or anything tied to material things. Don’t misunderstand me, those things are fine but WHO you become is the most valuable of all.

The reality is many people “get into” a business and worry about marketing, selling, promoting and more but rarely take enough action towards their mindset.

When it comes to having your own business, (offline or online) and creating the life you truly desire….what’ holding YOU back? What are your biggest fears?

Ask great quality questions and you discover much about yourself. I would really like to hear from you; please share your thoughts with me here on my blog. Face and recognize your fears and then take immediate action to combat them through reading great books, listening to audio, doing daily affirmation and certainly aligning with great and positive minded people even a mentor if that is available to you.

It was super cool to be able to let you know a bit about me and how we can all work on eliminating those things that hold us back from living a life of true freedom!

I support and challenge you today to take at least ONE action towards the elimination of fear in your life; work on it and build it like a muscle.

If you want to connect with me further make sure you join me here for great online training at http://www.Join-The-Tribe.com and of course my blog at http://www.CoachAlRod.com

Feel free to contact me if I can help you on your journey of enlightenment and success!

A New Work From Home Business Opportunity

Monday, September 13th, 2010

If the idea of working for someone else doesn’t appeal, then why not consider being the boss? The cons of such a business venture can be the high initial investment required, but this is not so with a home business as it has no associated overheads of business premises and such like. A low investment opportunity that offers unlimited income potential at your own pace would be ideal, and it is this model that is offered with Dubli work from home business proposal.

Comparing Top Tier, Direct Sales And A Traditional Multilevel Marketing.

Monday, September 13th, 2010

I get asked all the time. “Al Rod, what do you think about this MLM opportunity?”

This is ONLY one example of a traditional MLM. Let’s say it’s one of the “hot” new binary hybrid compensation plans that “say” they pay 50-55% commission. Very Wrong!

There’s breakage meaning that for every $100 worth of water or juice you buy; you will be credited with a lower percentage of commission-able volume and that can range from 50% to about 77% of the actual dollar spent. That’s huge and right away decreases what you think you would earn. Then there is breakage on rank advancement which means that if you don’t qualify for a certain bonus or rank even though you may have the dollar volume; the company keeps this portion of the money and therefore reduces the actual payout.

Okay auto-ship. Let’s say that you spend $250 per month because you are at a certain rank level that requires 4 boxes or 4 cases of this or that. Well, that’s $3,000 a year in product or $15,000 a year in the next 5 years of business and more over a 10-20 year career. This isn’t good or bad; just the facts.

Yes and we said this is a binary. I realize you will get the whammy bammy bonus, maybe the car bonus or the impossible to calculate 2% global bonus but the binary pays on the lesser leg. Binary means you build two team or two legs; a right and a left one AND if one runs away you could effectively have 1,000 people on one leg and 200 on the other. Yes, you guessed it; you get paid on the lesser or smaller leg to the tune of about 10% or so. 200 people on the lesser leg consuming 100 points of product per month is, $20,000 in volume or about $2,000 a month.

Top Tier has their pros and cons…It is more expensive upfront to join most of these business models to the tune of $1500 to $2000 but there is no auto-ship with most of these companies (check for specifics) and that should be considered. The next thing to consider is the upfront payout. In a traditional MLM, you get someone to join for say $499 and you make anywhere from $90 to about $140.

In a top tier, a $1500 or so sale earns you about $1,000. It takes no more effort to bring someone in at a higher level than at a $499 and $250 level and yet the upfront money is huge. Four sales monthly or one a week in a top tier can earn you $4,000 per month not counting the passive or residual income. In a traditional MLM if you sponsored one a week you may earn about $400 month (huge difference).

This $400 a month helps pay your auto-ship of $250 and the company replicated site, shipping and maybe you have $100 at best left for you; think about this.

In conclusion, Top Tier tens to attract a more motivated entrepreneur and pulls lots of people that are not in MLM or network marketing as the higher income and professionalism of some of these companies s very appealing. The marketing strategies also typically make more sense than the MLM home parties and chase your family and friends scenarios.

Al Rodriguez is a long time entrepreneur having spent 20 years as the owner of a multiple mortgage offices, a real estate franchise and real estate investor. A few years ago he turned this knowledge and began a coaching company for these industries and today has transitioned into helping others accelerate their success in a home based business with a “can-do” style and real world marketing strategies.

After my insights with this article, you can find details on a great Top Tier that makes the most sense as well as a free mastermind and list building information to hone your skills; no matter which is your preferred business model.

Fact Or Fiction Between Tony Rush And Avant Multilevel Marketing Company.

Monday, September 13th, 2010

I came across some “buzz” on this company and Tony Rush, one of the people involved with Avant. This new company has a “different” feel to it that will either appeal to you or not.

As for Tony Rush, the same can be said. He is a top leader at Avant and has had much prior success in earning income. However, has he been able to duplicate this success for others on his team?

That’s always a sensitive issue as people tend to gravitate to the GURU leader and often times this is a huge mistake (not a reflection on Rush or Avant). I would say this applies to any company and you’re better off to find a mid-level leader that is experienced and committed but not the actual guru so that you can actually get coaching, team building and first hand training, etc.

At first glance, it really doesn’t seem like a network marketing company as the corporate site http://WeAreAvant.com was very professional and focused on personal development.

If you like Tony Robbins and The Secret then you will most likely connect with this company and their products.

The company launched on May 31, 2010 under the direction of Brent Payne, CEO and founder of the company. He and the prior company enjoyed massive success also in personal development and had a great 8 year run before he sold his interest in the company. After some time off and he has formed Avant.

The business model is direct sales meets network marketing and has 3 basic products including Elevate a 72 day home study course with a DVD, CD’s, a journal, workbook and online features to include coaching, social media and accountability grid.

The course comes with a 72 day money back guarantee which I thought was saying a lot about their product.

The compensation plan is a good mix between what is large upfront income and passive income. The commissions are large enough at the lower level; that people can realistically earn thousands of dollars their first 30-days without being some recruiting superstar.

The plan pays on four levels and there is no auto-ship. This alone is an interesting component when you compare it to say a nutritional MLM that requires you to purchase $250 worth a product a month. In one year that’s $3,000 spent on vitamins or juice and imagine how much that adds up to in just 5 years.

This model will attract more professionals who would normally not give a hoot about MLM and that is key and huge if you think of a wider market that can appeal to more people. I say this because personal development is appealing to a broad audience and the business is not built in the traditional sense with home parties, etc.

The Avant model seems lucrative with a team of 50-100 or 200 people and not the thousands and thousands of people required in the traditional MLM or network to make a substantial income.

Al Rodriguez is a long time entrepreneur having spent 20 years as the owner of a multiple mortgage offices, a real estate franchise and real estate investor. A few years ago he turned this knowledge and began a coaching company for these industries and today has transitioned into helping others accelerate their success in a home based business with a “can-do” style and real world marketing strategies.

The Appropriate Investment In Your Home Based Business

Sunday, September 12th, 2010

Anyone thinking about a business in their home is probably concerned of whether or not they can afford the right investment for it. No matter which opportunity you choose, it is going to require some type of investment, whether it is money or time. The following information will help you to figure out the right investment for a home based business:

The first consideration is probably going to be the financial investment a home based business will necessitate. Whether it is just cost of creating a website or it is an actual $5,000 investment, it will cost you something to get a new business up and running. The main thing to consider is how much you can risk. There is always a great chance that a new business will fail, as the majority of them actually do. Never invest money that you can’t afford to be without.

Next, you must consider the time required. If you are already working a fulltime job and plan to continue with it until your new business is bringing in enough money, it is going to be difficult. You must be realistic. If you are working fulltime outside the home and a new business will require fulltime hours to earn a profit, you have to determine if you have the time. There is no sense of starting anything, if you do not have enough time to invest in it.

Last, anyone considering working from home must consider the actual risk. Working at a job outside your home, you will only need to concentrate on the job. Working in your home will put you in a dilemma of deciding which things are more important and prioritizing work and home chores can be confusing.

An investment in a home based business is more than just money. It is also the time that must be committed to creating a successful business. If you do not have the time or feel that you will not be able to work efficiently from your home, investing in this type of business may not be the right decision for you. On the other hand, if you do not take a risk, you may never have the opportunity for your own financial freedom.

You just might trigger something positive in others and this will develop the correct habits and thinking to feel abundant, happy and fulfilled. This is a simple but effective technique so go ahead and try it.

3) Begin each day with optimism and not with fear. Yes, start out n the morning with the thoughts of achieving, of doing and of accomplishing your goal. Do not fear the day or the challenge and in fact, spend no time in the “worry” space and just take action with this inspired optimism.

4) While you continue working towards developing your stronger mindset, decide to take on something new. It can be a hobby, the decision to get into shape or to finally read that book you’ve been meaning to get to for some time now. These positive changes can do very good for you.

How Combine Old School And Technology To Earn Money From Home (MLM Or..?)

Friday, September 3rd, 2010

I’m asked all the time about how to make money and to be honest with you I hardly knew the answer for a long time. You see I am not much different than you and others that simply want to make some money from home but get caught up in all the fancy systems and techniques; then another one and then another one…

I was blessed with abundance because of the real estate and mortgages for many years but when the market fell apart I looked at making money from home and chased all the product launches and gurus with this idea and that and finally realized that the answer is not all that complicated.

You might be building a network marketing company, direct sales or simply looking for a way to make $1,000 to $4,000 weekly and want something turnkey without all the hype and craziness.

I’m not here to pitch you on ANY MLM but do want to provide you some insight as to what can work for you as it has for many.

What’s the really big piece of the puzzle? Well, you need prospects for your business, you need targeted prospects and you need a steady flow of them. Does that make sense?

By the way, that’s only half the story…. Imagine that your goal was not to pitch your business but to focus on building a list of people that you could eventually connect with and then some of them join your business and then imagine making money from the list along the way.

I know this could be sound familiar to you but I’m not talking about PPC, SEO or fancy smancy (and costly) ways to try and build your list. The biggest concern people have is that they get confused in “implementing’ this process and marketing funnel.

Here’s what you need:

1) A way to find tons of targeted network markets and people that want to make money from home.

2) A system that will contact all of these people without you making one cold call to any of them.

3) Getting through large numbers to identify those that have an interest and those that don’t (sifting and sorting).

4) A turnkey system that presents your business to people in a professional and ongoing manner.

5) A follow up system that is literally “set and forget” and continues to remind and lead people back to you and your business.

6) A system that can do all this and do it for a nominal expense such as doing all of the above for about $20 bucks per 1,000 network marketers.

At this point, you have to realize there are tons of ways and strategies to make money online and this way is a little “old school” because it does not require you to be an internet genius and it’s a system that is already done for you. It’s called the Press 1 Marketing System and can be used to build any MLM, Network Marketing or Direct Sales business such as Top Tier and more. If you have ever studied awesome marketer Jay Abraham you would know that you need multiple marketing pillars to be successful in case one does not work as well as you would like; the others pull their weight.

You can check out an overview of the Press 1 Marketing System here and see if it’s for you http://www.getleadsrightnow.com
