You’ve seen them in the movie credits blunders, blunders are those unedited, unexpected moments when humility arise out no where and it’s how the reaction of those in the moment of vulnerability create the most surprising and most often unexpected events.

When you start your own home based business these bloopers and blunders can and most likely will arise. You’ve got to be strong enough and humble enough to roll with the punches, more often than not the people you are speaking to will get a good chuckle out of the occurrence and life goes on.

It’s just that “in the moment” feeling(s) that can really test your character. Be calm and collected; gather your self back to the place where you left off. I can remember a time when I spoke in front of a small group of people I froze, lost all of my concentration and was paralyzed with fear.

I was so humiliated and embarrassed with the who outcome I couldn’t finish my presentation, I felt scared and as if I let myself down. Think about wedding bloopers you hear about, the bride ran away, cakes dropped or falling over, dogs and the buffet.

The stories go on and on the same thing can be said for opening day for your business. The restaurant with no cooking capability, department stores without advertised merchandise. You know these front page headlines…

“Super Center Grand Opening Bust…”
Local Super Center grand opening soon closed due to product shipment delay. Recent sources say…..”

You know what I mean; I wanted to give you a check list of basic preparation needs to ensure a quality start for your business.

1) Branding… Business cards, marketing materials are they correct in spelling, address and contact information? Surprising enough I have seen incorrect information on promo materials I have even had some of
my own show up incorrect.

2) Are you prepared with the proper inventory, supplies, staff and support?

3) Are the leases all agreed on, terms negotiated, papers signed off?

4) Did you promote the event properly? Have you had enough leeway to create an interest, pre drip opening campaigns, post drip enticers and pique mailers.

5) Have you planned for disaster to happen, made a back up plan, over estimated response, underestimate demand and response for grand opening day.

6) Designed something to impress the visitors, snacks, drinks, contest give aways, free samples, cross and continuity products, back end up sell products.

7) Did you think about your business as a business or did you not think about it at all.

8) Small business is the same as big business it’s just a little different, are you strong and versed in your company’s mission, values, ethics and marketing vision.

9) Did you evaluate the costs and demands imposed on you when you selected the business you wanted to start?

10) Did you look within your self to see if you thought you had what it takes to run a small home based business?

These are some of the biggest bloopers I see when people go into business, the reason I am able to confidently say these things is simply due to the fact that I too made these bloopers, blunders and found out the hard way what it means to starting and opening my own home based business.

I hope that I can help you avoid some of these blunders when you start your own home based business.

Are you searching for the best home based business opportunity, or just an opportunity hoping for some amount of success

Filed under: home based business — businessfromhomeequalsmoney @ 11:11 pm

It’s no secret that the home based business opportunity industry is growing at an exponential rate. Over $31,000,000,000 in these industries and over 15,000,000 people have already made the smart choice.

When you consider looking for a home based business. When you stop and think about it that’s a virtually untapped marketless than one percent of the population has decided to make the change, fire the boss and start a new life. Imagine for a moment that you just received $10,000,000 and the only stipulation was you couldn’t invest it. Seriously what would you do with that money? Travel, pay off debt, buy your dream home?

I am sure you could do all of that and much more. No let’s come back to current day for a moment, are you financial secure or living paycheck to paycheck, struggling with lifes everyday challenges? Don’t be fooled just because you see someone in a nice car, with a nice house, fancy clothes doesn’t always mean that they are above the problems you face everyday. They have larget debts, bigger problems and face losing more wealth than most people will ever acquire (at least that’s what they think).

You see wealth creation has always been taught by starting to invest in real estate, earn cash flow and appreciation. The real problem is that this is the slow way to acquire wealth. Nothing wrong with slow, yet in todays fast paced society with the instant gratification mindset has really taken our economic structure and made wealth achievement seem like it’s something that should be attained overnight. So back to my opening question, what is it that you are looking for in a home based business? Is it instant riches? If that’s the case your never going to find the opportunity you are looking for unless you happen to win the lottory.

Success isn’t the destination it’s the journey. Everyone you meet, everything you touch and everything you do. Business is no different. You see all of these topics are really the same thing, a concept. Success, failure, business, employee, wealth and poverty all start with a mindset. Why think like someone who is not going to amount to more than just an employee or average Joe when you can think like a champion. You must approach business ownership in the same way.

Here’s the funniest thing I have realized in all of my years of business, I thought I needed a big building, lots of employees and a huge inventory to be a real business. Then I learned about the home based business industry and I tried my hand at over a dozen “opportunities”; making the same mistake over and over again. Much like the opportunity thinker. I drew conclusions that these were not viable businesses instead I chocked it up to nothing more than a bad experience. Let me ask you, “have you had this type of experience in your life?” is it that you have not found what you are looking for or is it that you found it and just don’t know what you want to do with it.

Success in life is simply figuring out what it is that you need and finding a way to create it. Financial success isn’t something out of reach from anyone; it’s about knowing your number, then putting a plan together and making it a reality. Stop looking for the opportunity and take action towards creating the opportunity for yourself. If you never try you will never succeed.

Owning a small or large home based business is one of the most rewarding things you can do in your life. Also it can seem like a scary or even uninviting place when you don’t have the proper guidance or leadership for support. Align yourself to win right from the start. Stop looking at every home based business as an opportunity and start looking at it as a tool to propel you towards financial freedom. The opportunity is always present whether you are ready to see it or not. Grasp the wonderful change you are about to experience and hold on to it for all it’s worth.

Many home based business started with a dream, a shoestring budget and the burning desire to succeed in the wake of any adversity, obstacle or set back. Companies such as Mary Kay, AT&T, Hewlett Packard, Avon and many others are all giant multifaceted, conglomerate businesses that simply exploded and grew up and out of the infancy stages of the garage.

The founders of these great enterprises all have the burning desire and have taught the newer generations how to keep the flame alive. Watch right now as these giants rise up and collectively attempt to corner all of the major markets.
