"Action Is The Foundational Key To All Success."
- Pablo Picasso
Action 1: Selecting a mentor/coach.You must find a mentor that has already done what you desire to accomplish. Your mentor is someone you can trust and relate with and already has their system up and running. You will be able to learn from their "system" that they have put in place. Systems do not fail; people do. The system that you are looking for should have been in place for a while, has been tested and tested again and has achieved the success that you are looking for.
Make sure that your Mentor has a vested interest in your success. This is no different than what happens in your JOB today. By JOB I mean the position that you hold that you trade time for dollars. Your manager has a vested interest in your success and is compensated for that. If you are in sales, managers’ bonuses are a direct result in what their sales consultants accomplish. I was that manager, I know. Being financially compensated by mentoring (managing) establishes a win-win relationship which is necessary to any success.
Make sure that you ask the question "Is the system that I am looking at able to be duplicated?" Are other people from varying backgrounds, varying careers and varying experiences using the exact system with success? Your success as an entrepreneur, is not necessarily dependent as to whether you have the exact experience in the industry that you are choosing because it is the professional online marketing system that you are looking at.
Mentoring, coaching, managing, which ever word you choose is your primary way of learning. Make it your choice to seek and find the best of the best to work with and learn from, and once you have found that person, demand only the best.
Action 2: Make sure the system that you are looking for is a true system. Ask the following questions: "Does the system that I am looking at have an entire team that I can count on?" In addition to your mentor and their personal coaching and training, does the professional online marketing have the added, expert training that you are looking for in marketing and sales? Does it have the additional coaching and training in learning the products and is there technical support if you need it?
Is the marketing system turnkey, does it have marketing opportunities both online and offline? Does it have customized websites and auto-responders that you can utilize if you choose to do so, or does it afford you the opportunity to be creative and make your own websites and auto-responders? The system you look at should be tested so that anyone can easily get started, duplicate it and get concrete results within a reasonable amount of time meaning within months, not years.
Now, the following question should be the deal stopper for you: "Does the company rely on you to figure out your own marketing and lead generation system?" If this is the case and if there is not a proven, tested and reliable way of getting quality prospects in front of you and your products, take careful consideration in aligning yourself with that company. Without a solid marketing, sales and lead generation plan, success in the long term will probably be an uphill battle every step of the way.
In "Why We Want You To Be Rich" by Donald Trump and Richard Kiyosaki, they state that most people struggle financially today because they are not good at sales or marketing. Everything is based on some sort of sales. You sell your child on doing their homework, you sell your spouse on what to do for the weekend, and you sell your parents to watch the kids. Everything is about some sort of sales and marketing. If you don’t feel you are comfortable at sales and marketing then you MUST partner yourself with a good mentor and a professional online marketing system so you won’t have to learn these necessary tools on your own and the hard way.
Action 3: Choose the right product for you.Make sure that the products that you choose to market are legitimate products and that they are stand alone products, meaning that they can sell themselves. If the product you choose to market is not somewhat unique, and a standalone product, you will have a challenging time building a stable business and creating your home business wealth.
Research and find a business system and a product (they go hand in hand) that you feel is correct for you. There are actually many businesses out there that are legitimate home based business franchises that you can and should do your due diligence on. When you find the business that you feel will be correct for you, talk with friends, family and acquaintances and if you can talk with them without being embarrassed, then you have found the correct home based business franchise for you.
Action 4: Make sure that the company that you partner with is stable, has a long term vision and that they will be financially secure in the long run. Is the company registered with the Attorney General, and is it doing business legally and ethically. Does the company have their business plan ready and can it be reviewed by anyone who would like to review it? This is your business, your reputation and your future. Choose wisely and then choose the best company for you.
Another point that you want to seriously consider: do you have to buy, handle, and be accountable for inventory? Is this the type of business that you are looking for? There are companies, where you are not responsible for the added expense of and do not have the headaches of maintaining inventory at all.
Finally, when looking at the company that you are going to partner with make sure that there is an entire team to support you from the very top on down. Don’t just rely on your mentor, although they should be a part of your decision and will be a part of your success. If you are looking at a company with high integrity and substance, you will be able to talk with any number of people at any given time.
Action 5: Choose your Business Model wisely.The MLM’s of yesteryear are gone, at least the ones with the potential of any significant income and long term home business wealth. You really must look at Top Tier Direct Marketing Business Models. Some points to consider as you are researching your business model; will you be able to go full time (if that is your goal) within months and not years? Do you have to give up your first 1-5 sales to your mentor or up-line? This is your business, choose it wisely. Choose a business system that allows you to keep your sales from sale number one. If you read "Why We Want You to Be Rich" by Donald Trump and Richard Kiyosaki (which I suggest you do) the Top Tier Direct Marketing Business is the model that they would choose if they had to make their millions all over again. Even Warren Buffet, the second wealthiest man in the world has purchased several Top Tier Direct Sales/Direct Marketing businesses and is looking to buy more in the coming years.
Action 6: Make sure that your business model has multiple streams of income built into it (many do not) What does Multiple Streams of Income mean? Multiple streams of income allows you to earn a full time income on your own marketing efforts and another full time residual income from the efforts of your organization over a period of time. This residual income does not happen overnight; it takes time and a bit of effort to build. But, if you are earning enough income from your own efforts, which you should be if you choose a Top Tier Direct Marketing business, you will be able to stay in the game long enough to reap the rewards that you have sowed.
The old game show stating "You are the weakest link...Good-Bye" couldn’t be truer. If just one of these six steps is missing, the others don’t really matter. Make sure that when you are choosing a home based business franchise that all six steps are in place.
Life is about choices and the choice is yours. Listen to your intuition, your gut feeling. If you feel good about the company you are about to partner with, then terrific! Go after the opportunity with all the passion that you have. However, if the little guy in your head is talking to you and giving you doubt and if you cannot seem to get straight answers about the products or the marketing system; look for something else that might be better suited for the goals that you have set for the future and for yourself.
Unfortunately there are 100’s of scams out there just waiting to take your money, but there are also a lot of good, solid and legitimate companies as well. Do your due diligence and you will find them. Be proud and be passionate about what you are doing. Help and serve others and your success, happiness and wealth will all be yours.
