Here I will quote Paul Zane Pilzer:
We’re in the midst of a boom in home-based businesses, and it shows no sign of slowing. More than one out of every eight U.S. households contains a home-based business. In 2000, more than 50 percent of all small firms were home-based businesses, and they generated about 10 percent of the nation’s entire economic receipts.
Let’s look at some of the major reasons why the entrepreneur and home-based businessperson have the edge today. New legislation and new technology have caught up with a shift in values: People want to stay home, and now they can. In fact, now people who work from home have the edge!
This being the truth about world economy, we all ought to know the truth and be prepared to face the new economical order armed with the truth and knowledge to sails its water with the compass of success. It is up to each of us.
I read this the other day and it is so revealing that I am sharing it here today:
Here is what no one is telling potential entrepreneurs as they begin their journey:
97% of all home-based entrepreneurs will spend more money than they ever make in this industry, and to add insult to injury, if they are building online, most of that money will be spent on buying the “hope” of making money through various different product purchases not even anything that can actually BUILD the business they had already forgotten about!
That means 97% of would-be entrepreneurs will never have anything more than a really “expensive hobby”.
For those of you who may have been struggling online for some time now, you know what I am talking about here. You start a business and are really excited, but something pops into your email box one morning or you see an ad for something that promises to teach you how to make money faster or easier.
Next thing you know you are off buying another piece of “hope”, only to get distracted again a week or a month later.
You cannot buy the life of an entrepreneur it is NOT for sale. You have to earn it.
Everyone Stinks…
There it is…the truth for all to see. Everyone stinks when they first start out in this industry. I did, my mentors did…EVERYONE DOES. I think this should be one of the first things you hear because it is the truth.
I was lucky enough to have a few good mentors over the years that DID tell me this, and illustrated it by “getting personal” and telling me their story, as well as sharing with me their personal struggles. I am certain that this shaved a couple extra years off of my learning curve because there were times when I felt that I was struggling and that there was something wrong with ME because of it. I did not know it was all part of the process
You will struggle…
The struggle is normal. It happens precisely because success in business requires us to change and adopt new patterns of thinking. Change is painful and we resist it at every level of our being. This resistance is natural and mostly unconscious, but it must happen, and you must travel through it to become an entrepreneur.
The entrepreneurial journey IS a journey of personal development…and you MUST develop!
Network marketing is an industry of people working with and serving other people, and unfortunately, many times the mentor is actually on the same level as the prospect they are supposed to mentor, both lacking the necessary information to succeed.
“The most insidious evil in the world, which robs more life from people than anything else, is self-deprecation…and we invite this evil into our lives on a daily basis. See, it cannot exist in our worlds unless we invite it in…Breathe life into it and feed it with our thoughts.”
“Do not allow others to dictate who you are. REFUSE to live in the shadow of anyone. You are supposed to shine as YOU. Accept no less and believe nothing else. It is not someone else’s job to dictate your life to you.”
“Your life is yours to live. Rise Up And LIVE It!”
“The world does not make you…your environment may shape you but you are not bound by its decrees. You always have a choice. You hold the cards. You are 100% responsible for your life, and the outcome of that life.”
It never matters how much money I make, your mentor makes, or anyone else makes in this industry either. None of that matters, and never will matter.
All that matters is what YOU are going to DO.
AND…
What you will DO depends on how much value you can bring.
AND…
How much value you bring will determine how much you make.
So the only question that remains is:
How do I increase my value?
The first step to increasing your value is to become the Master of your Mind. You do that by seeking out that which comes from a premise of freedom, and planting ONLY those seeds into the fertile plain of your mind.
You start associating with inspiring people who do not see their life as something dictated by others. If you want to truly LIVE, you need to hang around others who love their life and see their own happiness as a just and moral value.
If you want to become an entrepreneur you hang out with other entrepreneurs. If you want to become successful online, you hang out with others who are successful online and those who are working towards it with fire in their hearts.
You DON’T hang out with pessimists or with people who hate their life and show their hate of it openly with their complaints and tired speeches about how nothing works, how the world is going to end soon, how horrible the economy is, how everything is a big conspiracy out to get the little guy, and anything else which does not serve or benefit anyone.
You have to make your own personal development of paramount importance in your life. You have to master your mind and that is secret number 1.
In network marketing your business is MARKETING and your product is YOU and the VALUE you can provide to your potential business partner.
You need to know who your target market is first, before you can even begin to start an effective marketing campaign. Once you understand who your target market is, THEN you decide what kind of a person you would like to work with as a business partner and create your marketing campaigns so that they attract those people.
Earn extra money from home
Your business will not grow without consistent advertising and promotion. Your business will not grow if you join something this month, tinker around with it a bit, and then jump into something else 30 days later because it “sounds” like you might “get in at the right time” and “get a ton of spillover during pre-launch” or whatever ploy is used to distract you from YOUR business so you can build someone else’s.
Network Marketing is a People Business
Network marketing is a funny thing. It is designed so that the bulk of the money you will earn will not come from how much you can personally sell or how many people you personally sponsor, but how much you can inspire others to accomplish and do for themselves.
The more passionate you are about helping others, the more they will succeed and the more you will succeed as a result. Your success fuels your passion, your passion fuels your members, and their success fuels your passion even more.
