Less Risk Working From Home

April 30, 2009

The greatest risk of all is the unwillingness to take a risk.  Working from home poses far less risks compared to a traditional freestanding business or a franchise location.  Consider the average lease agreement terms and monthly lease payments.  This can often be a 2 or 5 year contract with a monthly cash outgo easily into the thousands depending on location and specific use.  Whether or not you turn a profit, rent still needs to be paid.

Or what about the average franchise fees and royalties?  A McDonolads restaurant franchise costs well over $1,000,000 with smaller names into the high tens of thousands if not the hundreds of thousands to begin.  Franchises and traditional freestanding businesses often require that you pour the majority of your day (eight to twelve or even more hours) 6-7 days a week into it just to survive.  With the right home based business you can keep your daytime job without jeapordizing your security while building your part-time working from home business into a stable income producing asset.

Increased Opportunity Working From Home

April 29, 2009

There are a great many corporations and industries in a slump.  From financial institutions to the faltering auto industry, the ripple effect is widespread.  Working from home means you can create your own income-producing opportunities. Good job prospects can be scarce in some industries and promotional opportunities within major companies are also shrinking.  There are business’s that are performing well in today’s economic environment; 2 of them are pawn shops and thrift-type locales.  The 3rd are home-based businesses.

With a home based business, such as catering, a day care, medical transcription, freelance typing jobs, accounting services, publishing E-books you are in more direct control of your future.  Sure the economy and your customers/clients ability to purchase your goods and services are affected, you remain at wheel and able to respond and adjust accordingly.

With a home based business the start up costs can be minimal compared to conventional business models, your income potential can be much higher, monthly residuals (if they exists) are usually consistent with your performance, hours are more flexible, and your supportive referral network can be growing and enthusiastic to assist in building your success.

Keep the Money You Make Working From Home

April 27, 2009

Many people do not always keep what they earn when working.  When working from home, it’s a simple principle: the harder and smarter you work, the more money you can make.  I’ve also heard that the harder you work the more you make.  In my opinion this is only part of the truth.   The money you earn and keep is directly proportional to how hard you work, how smart you work, and the supportive network of business partners you have around you to sustain and carry your efforts through.  In short, your income earning potential working from home is results oriented and compensates you accordingly.

You’ll also save money on gas and food too.  When compared to many jobs the ability to comfortably prepare   lunch at home is more cost effective and often times healthier.  The average lunch expenditure when eating out can range from a mere $6 to as much as $15-$20 each time.  Multiply this 5 days per week!

More Personal Freedom Working From Home

April 26, 2009

For most of us, we spend countless hours in traffic to and from work every day.  Whether it is thirty minutes or an hour one-way to your destination, there’s no doubt that much quality time is lost and can never be regained.  One of the most exciting benefits to starting a Monavie  home-based business is your newly gained freedom and the retrieval of time that is normally awashed.  According to the U.S. Federal Highway Administration, the average American spends 348 hours each year in their vehicle commuting to and from work.  When you start a home-based business, especially one with Monavie, you have the opportunity to recover those extra hours of your personal life.  Plus, there are no bosses, no dress code, no set work schedule, and no office politics to manage.  What’s needed most are  goals, personal drive, discipline to follow through, and a positive attitude.

Relationship Building Conversational Topics

April 23, 2009

When I meet someone new who I am trying to get to know I make it a point to find out what motivates them.  It usually boils down to one of three things: making money, finding love or changing the world.  Many people upon reading this may laugh.  The revelation may be a nuance to some, but try it!

How do two people who have never met or have hardly conversed engagingly shorten the distance between stranger and friend?   One of the answers in my opinion is to talk about what matters most to the other person.  More specifically, matters of one’s heart and emotions.  The most successful relationship builders are without doubt a therapist-like expert on finances, love and good deeds!

When I meet someone upon introduction, in a business setting, I do what I can to inquire about their professional interests and what they enjoy most about it.  Almost invariably, if I am listening intently, they will mention a connection somehow to more in-depth money making stories/opportunities,  their family / significant other or a cause/organization which they feel strongly passionate about.  At this point if the situation permits, I often like to dive a little deeper and add a follow up question or positive comment.

If the conversation is going well there will be an almost rhythmic flow between us.  This often includes genuine intuitive interests from each other, similar body language, mutual laughs, eye contact and an overall good time.

Being a connector, a friend, a great relationship advocate, is what many would agree, a philosophy of life, a cultural world-view that resonates beyond the mundane.  I love spending time with friends at summer BBQ’s and morning coffee at the local hot spots.  If my conversation with someone new can resemble such intimate moments, I think I would be doing well!

The Tipping Point

April 21, 2009

Malcolm Gladwell, a staff writer for New Yorker Magazine, in The Tipping Point, writes a fascinating study of human behavior patterns, and shows us where the smallest things can trigger an epidemic of change. Though loaded with statistics, the numbers are presented in a way that makes the book read like an exciting novel. Gladwell also gives several examples in history, where one small change in behavior created a bigger change on a national level. He also studies the type of person or group that it takes to make that change.

Gladwell’s first example is the resurgence of the popularity of Hush Puppies, which had long been out of fashion, and were only sold in small shoe stores. Suddenly, a group of teenage boys in East Village, New York, found the cool to wear. Word-of-mouth advertising that these trend-setters were wearing the once-popular suede shoes set off an epidemic of fashion change, and boys all over America had to have the “cool” shoes.

Galdwell also examines the difference in personality it takes to trigger the change. For example, we all know of Paul Revere’s famous ride, but how many of us know that William Dawes made a similar ride? The difference was that people listened to Revere and not to Dawes. Why? Revere knew so many different people. He knew who led which village, knew which doors to knock on to rouse the colonists. Dawes didn’t know that many people and therefore could only guess which people to give his message.

There are several other phenomena that Gladwell examines, showing the small things that spark a change, from the dip in the New York City crime rate to the correlation between depression, smoking and teen suicide. If you want to change the world for the better, this book will give you an insight into the methods that work, and those that will backfire. It’s all in knowing where to find The Tipping Point.

Outliers

April 5, 2009

Malcolm Gladwell has turned himself into the literary world’s Mr. Wizard. Expertly versed in not only science but business and psychology. Its subject is success — an ”outlier” is a superachiever, like Bill Gates or the four Beatles, and Gladwell wants to know what sets these titans apart. It’s not mere talent, he insists, offering up instead one thrilling, exquisitely unfurled counterargument after another. With a magician’s gift for the Big Reveal, Gladwell always tells stories to make his points, and every single one of them in Outliers is a plateful of brain food that tastes like salty peanuts. In his books, unlike his articles, he occasionally lectures and sums up a bit too much, but it hardly matters. There are both brilliant yarns and life lessons here: Outliers is riveting science, and self-help.
