Let me give you an example…

I recently had someone sign up for my home business. She was as excited as anyone could possibly be and expressed to me that this business was exactly what she was looking for. She explained how tired she was of her current situation and got started with me that same day. Now, in my business, once someone gets started, they have access to an entire back office full of training that will help jump start their business. Well, this woman completed everything. She even purchased some leads. I thought she was well on track to making some money.

But let me ask you a question…..does signing up and completing training or even purchasing some leads really mean that someone truly gets started?

Getting Ready to Get Ready

If you’ve helped people get started in your home based business, then you know the whole “getting ready to get ready” spill. There are those who sign up and get started with their business right away. And there are others who sign up and get stuck in the getting started mode. It’s like their shoes are glued to the track at the beginning of the 100 meter dash and they never make it off the line. But the truth of the matter is, they’re the one that glued their shoes to the track.

So the answer to my question above is “no.” Signing up and even completing all the training isn’t starting a business. That’s just education.

Starting a Business Involves Income Producing Activities

Income producing activities are the only way to make money. Without these certain activities, your business is non-existent. Everything else you do is taking time away from your income producing activities. And in my business, income producing activities involve something very simple…….getting interested people the information they need to get started. That’s it! Everything else you do besides that very thing is keeping you from doing that very thing. So be careful with your time. It’s extremely easy to feel like you are keeping busy. Just make sure you’re busy doing income producing activities.

So, in my example, this woman purchased leads, but never called them. She was stuck at the starting line with her shoes glued to the track. And that could be the result of many things. The biggest one is FEAR! Fear of rejection, fear of failure or fear of not being fully prepared, and the list goes on.

The Best Advice I Can Give New Home Business Owners

Most network marketers will never make more than an extremely part time income in their new business. Why? Because they get stuck in the getting ready to get ready mode. So if you’re new to network marketing, the best advice I can give you is to GET STARTED! Don’t just sign up, actually get started. Pick up the phone and start calling people, or pull the trigger on that newspaper ad or banner ad. Perform income producing activities and do it consistently or you’ll never get your business off the ground and you’ll never put a single dime in your pocket.

Don’t become one of the failure stories you see on forums around the web, become one of the success stories you see still working their business and having the success they signed up and got started for.

As always, if you have a question or scenario you’d like to share, I’d like to hear it.

As with any loan, it all balances on a good credit report, so it’s best to check your credit before wasting the money on their application fee. There are a few places on the Net that can provide a free credit score to let you know if you should even apply. But, if you’ve got great credit, they provide a great financing option that is unheard of in the Network marketing industry.

Oak Tree Financing offers 100% financing up to $30,000 and is looking to provide financing for startups, franchises and biz-ops. However…..Oak Tree Financing will not fund just any home based business under the sun.  They are working directly with the home business that I offer. Which, if you’re truly serious about generating a significant income and you have the willpower to make things happen, this business is your match.

So when you’re ready to move forward in your life and up in income, contact me, and we’ll see.

There are two types of bloggers:

1. Those who blog for free…
2. and those who blog for profit.

But what most bloggers who blog for free don’t realize, is that they’re doing almost the same thing the blog for profit bloggers are doing. They’re just not getting paid for it. Now their reason for that is their own. As for me, I offer a free blog so that I can profit, right along side you.

One of the ways I profit from my blogs is through a company named IZEA. They offer a program called Social Spark which connects blogs like yours and mine to advertisers. These advertisers pay to have bloggers post sponsored reviews about their products or services. Find a need, fill a need. These advertisers need to get the word out and you just happen to have a blog that can do that for them. A match made in Heaven!

Now, some of you may have already dealt with other companies who perform the same service. But I can tell you, that out of all that I have worked with, Social Spark is by far the most profitable and highest in quality. They attract big names such as Walgreens, Scott’s and American Family Insurance, just to name a few. Their back office tools are extremely simple to use and are state of the art in design and functionality.

Social Spark offers you the ability to choose your own pricing and your advertisers. It’s simple, you supply the blog, they provide the leads, do what you do best and then get paid.
