The Discipline of Breaking Old Habits

The reason most of us engage in any business, whether a home business or a conventional business, is to MAKE MONEY! But more often than not, there are things that each of us struggle with that keeps us from achieving the success that we desire. What can we do to fix these problems? How can I get past my fears and lack of action? How do I break a my bad habits?

This past year, I have been a part of an Entrepreneurial Development program. We join together via telephone five days a week and receive encouragement and challenges from skillful mentors. They understand what it is that we are facing because they themselves have had to face the same challenges and fears that we all face to overcome them. For me, it has been a challenge to do my daily chore of doing my internet marketing. My other work gets priority or family schedules etch out the hours and minutes of my day.

I began to realize that I was not making headway with these issues on my own but when my mentor and business coach began to challenge me in these areas, I learned what it was that I needed to do in order to achieve consistency in my marketing endeavors. My mentor taught me that I needed to choose one thing I wanted to conquer or one habit that I wanted to break. Then stick with it for 8 weeks and make sure to do the task or refrain from doing a bad habit each and every day.

Now that I began to realize what it was that was holding me back, I am able to start retraining myself to make new habits and discipline myself each and every day. When the going gets tough, my trainer is there to give me the encouragement that I need to keep pressing on and not give up.


One by one, those things that were roadblocks to making the kind of money that I wanted to make are being laid to rest. With patience, bad habits are being broken and fears are being overcome.
Every aspiring entrepreneur needs to have a development program like this. To learn more, go to

Being Successful Requires Daily Inspiration

Do you ever start out your day with great plans to get much accomplished? You are all excited about the ideas that you have and then… this comes up and then that. Your family needs your attention, you look at your emails and see that there are several items that draw your attention. Then it’s time to prepare a meal and get the mail…then bills to pay and now the kids are back from school and they need help with homework. Then there’s a game or a concert to attend and now time to get everyone to bed and… I have yet to get anything done with my home business!

Oh me!!! I feel like nothing has been accomplished today. How am I going to make money at this rate? Have you ever been in this situation? If you are a Home Business Entrepreneur, then you probably can identify with me very clearly. It happens to all of us. It sure has to me and until I started getting daily inspiration from an experienced mentor who knew how to help me in the many areas of my life that were keeping me from achieving the success that I wanted to achieve, I struggled and struggled.

Now after being mentored by a professional for the last year, I have learned to work through and around those incidentals that come up every day and still get my work completed. I have learned to set my priorities and what time of the day I need to wrap things up and most importantly, what things need to get done before I open my email or go to the mailbox or even before the kids get up for school. Without the help of my mentor, I would still be struggling with several of these obstacles. Now I am able to be challenged in other areas that will make me more productive and that means more successful financially and that’s that reason I’m in business in the first place.

Maybe you are afraid to even begin a new business venture because you know that there are so many things going on every day of your life. You might feel that you will be overwhelmed if you take on any more. But, if you have a burning desire to make a change in your life for the better for you and your family, or maybe to help others outside of your family, then I want to encourage you to go ahead and start to do that extra thing that is needed to make this all possible. Whether that is to start a home business or take the extra job or whatever you see fit for you, get started now and also get connected to someone who can help you with the obstacles of your busy day. Learn how to get more done in two hours than most people get done in a day!

Yes, it’s possible! I know a mother of 8 who is working very successfully in a multi-level home business. She spends a couple hours a day with her business and still has time to cook, wash dishes, wash clothes, help the kids with their homework and drive the kids to the places they need to go and tend to the needs or her husband. Busy lady? Yes. Worth the effort? Yes, because now they are making ends meet. Now every child has shoes..that fit. Now it is your turn to begin to have more in your life. I am here to help you to be successful on your Journey.

Are You Living the Live the Life You Want?

Are you living the life you would like to live? Or are you hoping that someday you will be able to live out your dream?

Most people have a picture in their mind how they would like to live and enjoy life. It is not wrong to desire to have a life that is far better than what you are living right now. Many of us have desires to accomplish certain things during our lifetime. For some, it might be to invent or develop something to help make life easier. For others, it might be to provide for those who do not have all of the necessities in life such as food, clothing, shelter, medical help, etc. Some people have an exploring itch and love to travel and do amazing things.

Well, if you have a dream to do something that is maybe out of the ordinary and will require lots of time and money to accomplish, you may be thinking that it just isn’t possible! I am writing this to encourage you that for every desire that God has put in your heart, He has made a way for you to accomplish that desire of yours. Sometimes it may be people who stand in your way and sometimes it may be a health issue. For most of us it is a time and money issue. Whatever the mountain that is standing in the way, there is always a way through. We all need to keep an open mind and to never lose hope because if we keep seeking, we WILL find the way.

You’ve probably heard the term ‘Where there is a will there is a way’. Yes, if your desire is for good, God will see to that there is a way for you to accomplish it. My dream was being hindered by a lack of time and finances. I was working 14 -16 hours a day to make end meet. Therefore I began searching the internet for ways to overcome my shortage of cash and time. I was introduced to the Network marketing industry and was shown a way to make the kind of money that would change my life. I did not have the skills that I needed to be successful like so many others were, but I found that there are giving people who were willing to help me develop the skills that I needed to be successful in this industry.

I have found that the key to becoming successful in whatever business or venture that you endeavor is to find a coach or mentor to teach you How and to help you to develop the skills and disciplines necessary to be a successful entrepreneur. The Entrepreneur Development Program and Home Business Training School that I am a part of is the most important piece of making my life the life that I have wanted to live and it will also help enable you to live the life that you want.

Are you ready to live the life you want? Don’t settle for less!

Successful Entrepreneur Traits - Learn and Implement Something New Every Day

As an aspiring entrepreneur I was told by a coach of mine that if I wanted to grow in maturity as a business person, I would have to step out and do something every day that was outside of my comfort zone.
We all have things that we are afraid to do or don’t know what we are doing because we haven’t done it before. In order to overcome the fear or to learn the process, it is vital that we step out and try something new each and every day. On tasks such as building a website that are monumental to a beginner, we should take it one bite at a time and dive into a different segment until we learn how to do the whole thing. Once we have done it once, it won’t seem like an unconquerable feet any more.
This is true in anything new that we do. Whether a new home business or starting a blog or just meeting new people in person or on the phone. It is going to feel uncomfortable at first but once we get our feet wet, it won’t seem so difficult or so scary. An important part of my development on these areas is the entrepreneur development program that I participate in. When I face something that seems like a giant, there are people there to help me overcome the ant syndrome and to take the challenge like a warier.
I encourage you all to seek out a good entrepreneur coach to help you to get through the roadblocks and to overcome every obstacle that would otherwise keep you from being successful. Learn something new every day and challenge yourself to do something every day that stretches your ability and comfort level.

Successful Entrepreneur Traits- Narrowing Your Focus

It’s difficult to know how to make money from home online for beginners. We search for something that will help us to make at least some money starting right away. Some do and some don’t. So in our desperation to make the money that we needed last week, we keep searching for the magic opportunity that will keep us afloat financially. Every one of finds out that there is no magic opportunity for us to make money from home using the internet.

But I keep reading the claims that so and so made over six figures last year. I want to do that too so bad that I can’t give up. I keep trying and trying refusing to give up. Which opportunity is right for me? Will I be able to succeed? Many people are asking themselves that question right now. If this is where you are at right now, please don’t give up. You can and will be successful if you persist.

Let me share what I’ve learned about finding something that works for me; something that will make me some money. There are many good opportunities selling great products on the internet using direct marketing and also through networking programs. Often times, we will check out several programs to find out which one will work the best only to find out that none of them are working. We get too spread out that we can’t give the proper attention to any of the business opportunities that we are checking out and it looks as if none of them is any good.

I have been in this scenario and thanks to the entrepreneur development program that have been a part of, I received help to realize that I had to narrow my focus and work on mastering one thing first before going on the the next. I learned that the best system for any of us is the one that we are focused on. Learn the system. Then learn some advertising strategies. Then learn how to communicate to your prospects and customers. It will take some time, but if we are persistent and keep developing our skills, we will succeed! That is what those who are entrepreneurs making six figures did.

If you don’t know what is a solid business opportunity to focus on, then find someone who is successful and ask them to help you. Develop the traits of a successful entrepreneur by being mentored by one or more of them. I recommend this mentoring program – buildingwealthsuccessfully.com .

Yes, it is difficult for a beginner to know how to make money working from home online, but you too can be among the successful ones if… you don’t give up.

Successful Entrepreneur Traits- Conquering Your Day

The 21 Day Challenge has truly been a valuable challenge for me. I have realized that there are traits that every aspiring entrepreneur must aquire. We are busy people doing a lot of things so our day can get away from us without getting some of the important items accomplished. After setting my goals and pinpointing what is the most important things that I want to accomplish, I have had to take a look at my day. I only have so many hours to work with. How am I spending my time? What am I getting accomplished during my wakened hours. Does it work toward the fulfillment of my goal? Am I neglecting other important things that need to be taken care of?

I realized that there were things that I was doing that were being time robbers. Spending too much time looking through emails and reading them was one of them. I have now given myself five (5) minutes to look through my emails. I was watching videos and listening to recordings; many times to learn what others are doing to be successful. I have now realized that even though I might learn something helpful, if it keeps me from completing necessary work that my business requires or spending some time with my family, then it has to go.

Prior to this challenge, I got by with wasting valuable time and no one else knew…so I thought. Others knew because my business wasn’t growing like it should. I wasn’t making sales which translates into dollars of income which is the real reason I am involved in free enterprise business in the first place. Even if I don’t reach my 21 day goal, I will have attained something more valuable than my goal. I have learned much about

1. Fine tuning my goals- breaking them down into bite sized chunks
2. Planning my day- making the most of every hour
3. Cleaning house- getting rid of less important things that rob me of time
4. The importance of having a coach or someone to be held responsible

Building wealth successfully is my mission, now, so that I can have the financial freedom and time freedom so that I can do those things which I am very passionate about accomplishing. If you are wanting to develop as a mature entrepreneur and are looking for a professional coach and mentor to help you, check this out. Click here. I’m sure glad that I did

8 Competitive Advantages

When choosing a business, there are several things to consider which are important to you making money or you losing money in your home business. Be sure to consider each of these points when making your decision.

· Continuity product program – does it continue to expand on a real time basis. This is important as the market is continually changing as well as the marketing strategies that we need to use.

· World Class Training - does the company you are looking at provide world class training and support? Most of the time the distributors and enrollers are providing most of the training which takes a lot of time and skills. Few people have the time and skills necessary.

· No pass up sales – When you get into business I assume that you are doing it to make money. If you make a sale, do you want to give those profits to someone else when you did the work and bore the expense? No. I wouldn’t either.

· In profit with only 3 people – Wouldn’t it be nice to be making money without having to recruit many people? Well you can in some business opportunities. Make sure that the business is set up so that you can start making profits fast. Also check the commission percentage. Seven or eight percent is pretty low. Aim for fifty percent, otherwise you will just be making money for your sponsor and upline.

· Marketing set up service – when we first get started, most of us don’t know anything about getting everything set up. Does company X offer me help in getting my marketing set up?

· Focus Group – will you have access to the leaders of the company? Can you share your ideas with someone who has the power to implement them in the company if they are viable? Will I have the opportunity to express my concerns or get things changed that don’t work. This should be on a regular basis.

· Combination of high and low profit points – Everyone has different needs and desires. Is there something for everyone or will I be limited to the few people who want what I have or can afford it? The majority of the people coming into this industry don’t have extra money.

· Ultimate product – What is the ultimate product? In the affiliate marketing and network marketing or MLM business arena, the most important thing for me or any newbie coming into the business is to have the proper training, teaching and entrepreneur development program so that their success can be certain. There are companies that provide this part of the equation and do a very good job at it. In the past, the industry has had a 97% failure rate and that has been largely because this part – the know how training – has been sorely missing. Make sure that you have this kind of training available even if you have to outsource it from your primary company.

For an example of a company that provides excellent know how training and entrepreneur development, click here.

I’m know that you are like everyone else; you are in business to make money. So do your homework and make sure that the business opportunity that you are looking for has these competitive advantages so that you are sure to make money.
