So... You Want to Stay at Home? Part 1

You're tired of your job...You can't stand your boss...You miss your kids...You hate getting up in the morning...You have too little time and waaaay too much to do...You have waaaay too much month at the end of your money...You are busteed, disgusted and you don't know who can be trusted... So...You Want to Stay at Home? And I don't blame you. But, you can't make any of your ends meet, so you'll just walk away from your dream, forget it and contimue to work a boring job, with a boss you hate, for not enough money, while getting up way too early, trusting your children to someone else and having way too much to do that it seems you don't get anything done and the thought of catching up is just simply too ridiculous for words. I say to you "Not so Fast".

You can Stay at Home!

Here's How:

It's called Direct Sales, Network Marketing and Party Plan! I know, I know... I can hear the gorans, moans and excuses. Let me be the first to say them:
  • I can't sell anything.
  • Will I really make any money.
  • My husband/wife/significant other will kill me.
  • I just can't right now.
  • I just can't take that kind of chance.
  • What about my real job?
  • What about my education?
  • Who will train me?
  • What if I fail?

These are all good excuses to hold you back, keep the bosses foot on your throat, keep the wolves at your door and keep you dependent on an inadequate paycheck.

And it all boils down to FEAR!

Rightly so, but if I can show you a way to start your own business, Become a business associate in whatever business you choose, eventually gain more time with you kids, more money at the end of your month, more trust in yourself  and eventually quit your job with the inadequate paycheck, would you take the chance on yourself?

If you said a resounding YES... please read the next article.
If you said no... stop right here, don't pass go, don't collect the proverbial $200 which you can have minimally at every selling appointment.

Build Your Character to Build Your Business

 By definition,  character means (among other things):
  • moral or ethical quality: a man of fine, honorable character.
  • qualities of honesty, courage, or the like; integrity: It takes character to face up to a bully.
  • reputation: a stain on one's character
  • good repute.
  • an account of the qualities or peculiarities of a person or thing.
We all have character...Right? Well we do. But,  I am talking about an acronym of how to develop and get the most out of your business.
  • C - Creative - You must develop this charateristic because on amy given day at amy given time, your approach will be different. Don't get me wrong...We all have formulas for booking, selliing and recruiting, but not every customer or potential business associate will respond the same way to the same speech.
  • H - Helpful - You must always be hellpful to your customers and prospective business associates; answering their questions and dealing with their concerns.
  • A - Admirable - You must have this quality. If people admire you,  they will want what you have to offer, be it your product, service, or business opportunity.
  • R -Rrelevance - Basically WIIFM - the "what's in it for me?" , that you  customer will want to know. How can your product, service, or business opportunity translate to something positive for your customer?
  • A - Aventurous - Get out there and do something! You must be intrepid; go out and network, meet your new client or business associate.
  • C - Commen Sense - A little of this will go a long way in establishing a thriving, growing business which will renew itself with new customers, business associates and cash flow.
  • T - Tenacious/Thoughtful - You must be both of these. Never give up and always anticipate the changing needs of your custemer or prospective business associate.
  • E - Earnest/Enthusiastic - You must be both of these. Who would want a product, sevice, or business opportunity  you did not believe in ?
  • R - Reliable - You must do what you say you are going to do. "Under promise and Over deliver"~ Mary Kay Ash
So, I ask you,  Don't you see the value of building your CHARACTER to build your business? Or do you want to be the one that is referred to by "They paved paradise, And put up a parking lot"?
