Home Business Opportunities: Work at Home Moms Keep it Simple!

Here’s my business model:  Build this website as a tool for work at home moms to build their home businesses.

It’s simple, I blog posts of my thoughts and bring  tools to my readers for their use in their businesses.

My advise to you all is to keep it simple.  Organize your business around one or two primary products or services and stop trying to have your business do everything for everyone!

Wow, that’s not a lot, is it? But it’s all you need. Really, just master a few simple elements and put them together into a business model.Almost every single person at these conferences was trying to learn everything about everything. If I had as much noise in my head as they did when I sat down to work on my business, I wouldn’t get anything done either.

You want to clear your noise. Be able to write your business model on a post it note…

If you can’t do that, you’re doing something wrong.

Home Business Opportunities: Work at Home Moms need to Network!

Home Business Opportunities must overcome this Problem: Over-estimating the Importance of Information

In internet marketing, information is not as important as people. You wouldn’t believe how many people make more money than me in internet marketing who put out inferior products, who don’t try nearly as hard, and who aren’t 1/10  as good of marketers as I am.

What’s their secret? They are connected with the right people.

People who helped them launch their career. People who have endorsed them. People who have put them in contact with the right opportunities, and gave them access to places that you and I can’t get access to.

People are more important than information.

Having 4 close successful friends in internet marketing will probably make you more money than the info you get from $20,000 worth ofproducts. We all have access to good information. Everything you really need to know to get started can be found for free.

Even if your home business opportunity is not centered around the internet, your home business still needs people to be successful.  Look around, meet others and network with them to create new contacts for the success of your business.

It is so easy for work at home moms to get out and network, however, if you make the effort to do so, your home business can literally double!

Home Business Opportunities: Work at Home Moms must not settle for Easier!

Still another problem work at home moms make is: Mistaking “Different” From “Easier”

Since we were at an affiliate seminar, we heard the same thing over and over again: “Affiliate marketing is easier because you don’t have to create the product, write the sales letter or do customer support. You can just focus on marketing.”

That’s a lie.

Since the barrier of entry into affiliate marketing is so much lower, you have way more competition. Affiliate marketing is not an easier business model, it’s a different business model. However, many people want to believe it’s easier… because they wish it were true.

However,  wishing and wanting usually are the enemy to making money online. A better approach is “accurate thinking” as identified by Napoleon Hill as one of the 17 traits all successful people have in common.

Here’s my philosophy: harder is easier. Since fewer people do it, less competition.  I love the fact that it’s “just a little bit harder” for most people to create video products. That makes my products stand out more. I like it that it’s “just a little bit harder” to repurpose  content than to use it as is. That makes my promotions a lot more profitable.

Don’t think easier… think harder. Look for those things that require just a little more effort .

Those are the things you want to do, because most people won’t do them. And if you do enough of those things, you’ll start to develop a competitive advantage.

So by taking the right approach you will create a competitive edge and, therefore, home business success!

Home Business Opportunies: Work at Home Moms Need to Make a Decision!

Another Problem  for Home Business Opportunities is that of Delaying the Decision

I hung out with a friend for most of the seminar. He is aware that I follow the “60 second rule”.

That rule is simple: take no longer than 60 seconds to make a decision. So we’d go out to eat with a group of seminar attendees.

It’d take them ten minutes to figure out where to go, another ten minutes to organize the carpools, and ten minutes more of

bullshitting before we left the hotel.

In the time I could’ve cooked a meal from scratch!

Whenever either my friend  or I would notice someone hesitating, we’d turn to each other and

say “60 second rule”. You wouldn’t believe how many times we said that during the seminar.

It absolutely blows my mind how people get comfortable hesitating. I have conditioned myself

to take action… not hesitate… because I know that taking action is a lot better thing to do than

hesitating when it comes to making money.

Delaying the decision is worse than making the wrong decision.

You can usually fix bad decisions. You can’t fix indecision.

So stop hesitating, make the decision one way or another and move on.

Home Business Opportunities: Work at Home Moms Get Overwhelmed!

Click Here To Learn About Niche Marketing And How You Can Build A Profitable Business In 30 Days Or Less

Another Problem for Most Home Business Opportunities is Not Understanding the “Point of Overwhelm”

You know how many notes I took in the entire three day seminar? A page and a half. And I only

used 30% of those notes.

The fact is I know exactly where I’m going with my business. I’m only interested in ideas that will

get me there faster, or enhance what I’m already doing by making it easier or more enjoyable.

Learning how to use social media marketing from scratch will make the process longer , not

shorter. Sure, people make millions off of it. But I’m not going to pretend there isn’t a massive

learning curve to it. There is. One I don’t want to attempt, because I’d have to completely reinvent my business to

incorporate it. Not for me.

But most people at these seminars leave with pages and pages of notes, almost a whole

notebook full. I used to be one of them. You know how many times I’ve used notes like that?

Twice.

Let’s be honest with ourselves. Do we really do anything with the notes when we get home? So

why clutter up your life anymore?

There is a point of overwhelm. That’s when you have too much noise in your head. That’s

usually caused by trying to take in 20 hours  of content in three days. 20 condensed hours

covering thousands of hours of experience.

When you leave yourself open to all possibilities,  you end up choosing none.

If I were starting over again from scratch, here’s what I’d do. I’d go to the seminars until I heard

a presentation that completely blew me away and got me excited. Then, if that speaker had a

course, I’d buy.

Then, I’d lock myself in the hotel room for the rest of the seminar. I’d devour that information.

By the end of the seminar, I’d already have an action plan on using that information, and have

already completed several steps in it.

That means no more attending any other presentations. I’d only break at night to go network

with other people, to develop mutually prosperous relationships for helping each other achieve

our goals.

If I was too shy to network, then I’d just stay in the hotel room and act, act, act.

By the flight home, I’d have already put in 25 hours of work into my new internet business.

The momentum would them carry over to when I got home. With all my spare time, I’d know

exactly what I should be doing. And that’s all I would be doing.

That’s not sexy though. In fact, it kind of sounds like hard work, doesn’t it? That’s because it is…

in a relative sense. You’re going to have to dig in for a bit. But trust me. My work days are very

easy these days. I don’t have to paint houses. I don’t have to answer to someone else. I don’t

have to do manual labor, and I don’t have to put up with idiots.

It was totally worth those few months of solid, dedicated, action taking.

Here’s how you beat “the point of overwhelm”. First realize it exists. Second, whenever you feel

overwhelmed, stop thinking. Overwhelm only comes from thinking too much. What do you do

instead of think? Take action. Just go with something. Anything is better than staying in a state

of overwhelm.

So for the success of your home business, stay focused on the most important thing that makes you money and leave the rest to others!
