Is a business opportunity better off worked at home or what?

MLM/Network Marketing is a legitimate and potentially lucrative way to work from home.

By directly selling products while creating your own upline downline, you can work your business opportunity part-time, from home, and at your own hours. Even with all the potential for making money, you should decide, though if this route is for you.

Many people are blinded by all the benefits of a business opportunity when determining if this type of business is right for them. You do not need to have a college degree or any experience to get into the industry.

The products are already manufactured and are usually shipped by the company directly to your customers. Plus, you choose your hours and your work location. In fact, many business opportunities are taken by people who work from the comfort of their own home.

Other benefits of having a business opportunity that is worked from home is that you have leverage; you continue earning commissions on a single effort. You do not need to come up with your own business or marketing plan, because the company does it for you. Also, recruiting and training systems are provided for you by the company.

Despite the numerous benefits, work from home businesses do come with some downfalls.

For instance, you usually start of marketing to family and friends. This is especially so if you are just starting your work from home business. This can create some friction and alienation, especially among people who are more acquaintances than close friends and family.

The work is selling, so you need to have a pretty strong backbone, as many people will tell you, “no” instead of the much-coveted “yes”. Therefore, it takes a lot of effort and motivation.

In order to make the most potential income, you need to continuously recruit new representatives. Plus, if you are working from home, your business opportunity will require that you purchase a certain amount of product each month or quarter, adding in a financial commitment.

Working at home works for some people. But other people find that it takes a great deal of discipline and motivation to get the job done without being easily distracted. Before you decide to take up a business opportunity and work at home, make sure that you get all the information that you need to make an informed decision.

So weighing out the good and bad, is this for you?

Well, if you are a self-starter with a lot of energy and motivation then it is a good start. If you have leadership skills and can set goals and meet them, then this might be for you, too.

Network marketing people have great people skills and are self-starters. They have strong powers of persuasion and can influence people easily.They also have an ability to guide and encourage others to work the program.

A business opportunity is an ideal trade to run on the Internet and work from your home. If you have the personality to run this type of business, then it could be the perfect opportunity for you.

I would love for you to consider the company that I represent. SEACRET is an international business that has spread to more than 40 countries around the globe. With its affiliate partners, it has more than $1 billion in retail product sales. The company has become one of the largest distributors of Dead Sea cosmetics, with its products formulated in the largest manufacturing plant in the world, right next to the shores of the Dead Sea. All of this has been accomplished in just the few years since SEACRET was born in 2005.

The One Minute Presentation

“If you want to have good ideas, you must have many ideas. Most of them will be wrong, and what you have to learn is which ones to throw away.”
— Linus Pauling, chemist

“Whatever you believe with feeling becomes your reality.”
— Brian Tracy, Author

“Sometimes the best helping hand you can get is a good, firm push.”
— Joann Thomas

“Go as far as you can see; when you get there, you’ll be able to see farther.”
— J.P. Morgan, industrialist

What is the perfect length of your opportunity presentation?

Walk up to a prospect and say:

“I can give you a long presentation or a short presentation. Which one would you prefer?”

Call a prospect and say:

“I can give you a long presentation or a short presentation. Which one would you prefer?”

The answer is obvious. Short.

Prospects are super busy with family, jobs, e-mail and cable television. They want to know these things right away:

1. What kind of business are you in?

2. How much money can I make?

3. What do I have to do to earn that money?

If you can answer those questions quickly, you will keep your prospect interested. That’s what network marketer’s call a “One-Minute Presentation.”

Is that the only way to do a short presentation? Of course not. You could learn to do “The Two-Minute Story” or even the “17-Second Presentation”, but starting with the “One-Minute Presentation” is usually an easier first step.

Try putting your “One-Minute Presentation” together now and have it ready for your next prospect. Your prospect will love it, and you’ll be building your business with ease.
====I hope that brief information above resonates with you. You can give the prospect all kinds of information – and we want to – but often times prospects just want you to get to the point. If the prospect isn’t interested after a 1-minute presentation about your business, a 5 or 10-minute presentation isn’t going to change their mind.

And you can give too much information. Unfortunately all that seems to do is create “analysis paralysis”.

As you craft your phone script, keep these points in mind also. It’s real easy to go on and on about our companies when putting together phone scripts. But try to focus on what’s important to your prospect.. what kind of business is it… how much money can your prospect make.. what does your prospect have to do to earn that money.

When you can give this information in a concise manner, you can prospect most anyone anywhere.

When it comes to prospecting new people for your business, you might want to consider using MLM Lead Specialist.

They have web traffic that send bizopp seekers to your lead capture page, and they have real-time leads that show up in your email inbox immediately after they’re generated.

The essential keys to self improvement and motivation

What are the three keys to self improvement and motivation?

1. INSPIRATION.

Inspiration is critical to staying motivated and improving oneself. If you are not interested in your business, your motivation level will never be high and you will not be able to sustain interest for very long.

Take an honest look at your inspiration level. Are you excited about going to work or is it an obligation? You would be surprised at the number of people who choose a business that looks good on paper, but in reality does not interest them in the least.

These individuals will grow weary and uninterested pretty quickly because they have no inspiration or passion to sustain them during the difficult times they will encounter as a small business owner.

If you do not like your work, then think how you can re-focus your small business to better match your needs. Or consider making a change entirely. Without inspiration, there will not be motivated to even try self improvement.

2. SETTING GOALS.

Short and long-term goal setting is vital for any business owner. If you do not set goals, you would have no definite purpose on which path of self improvement to take.

How could you possibly be motivated if you were unsure about the direction of your company?

Take the time to put your goals in writing. A business plan may sound daunting, but it is really nothing more than goals, strategies, implementation and a budget. Write your own business plan and update it at least annually.

Include “mini-goals” that can be accomplished in a matter of hours, days or weeks as well as the more ambitious “grand-goals” that may take years to complete. Refer to this plan throughout the year.

But can a business plan really help motivate you? Of course. Written goals will make you feel more professional and certainly more connected to your business. It will also free you from having to reinvent your business goals every single day.

3. NETWORKING.

Another key factor in getting and staying motivated is networking with other small business owners. No one person knows all the knowledge.

However, when a number of people begin working together, the challenges will just be there waiting to be conquered.

In fact, the isolation of working alone is of one the most difficult parts of being an entrepreneur. You can never be on your way to self improvement without the help of others. Mutual support is motivating.

Make it easier on yourself by connecting with others either in your community or online. Even when businesses are not related, you will often find common ground and ways to work together.

Many successful entrepreneurs report that finding the right networking group was a turning point in the growth of the business. Working together, a networking group can help its members generate more qualified sales leads and solve problems faster and more efficiently.

Sharing ideas, expertise and experience is also an invaluable aspect of motivation and self improvement.

Your own personal team of business owners will help re-energize you when the burdens of running your own business seem too much.

With your networking team to rely on, you can accomplish more in less time and probably have more fun in the process. You will feel motivated to accomplish self improvement when you know you are not alone.

Motivation

In the world of life, motivation is the key to success. This is more than true especially for business and those involved in anything that has to do with sales and marketing. I find that a good minimum 15 minutes of personal development is all that is needed to keep your motivation up. I am a big fan of Jim Rohn. If you do not know who this great man is/was, I went ahead and took the liberty of citing his bibliography from his website (https://jimrohn.com/) below.

“For more than 40 years, Jim Rohn honed his craft like a skilled artist-helping people the world over sculpt life strategies that have expanded their imagination of what is possible. Those who had the privilege of hearing him speak can attest to the elegance and common sense of his material. It is no coincidence, then, that he is widely regarded as one of the most influential thinkers of our time, and thought of by many as a national treasure. Jim authored countless books and audio and video programs, and helped motivate and shape an entire generation of personal-development trainers and hundreds of executives from America’s top corporations.

Born to an Idaho farming family in the mid-1900s, Jim was ingrained with a work ethic that has served him well throughout his life. At 25, he met his mentor Earl Shoaff. And over the next six years he made his first fortune, yet didn’t get into speaking until he moved to Beverly Hills, California, when a friend at the Rotary Club asked him to tell his success story, which Rohn titled “Idaho Farm Boy Makes It to Beverly Hills.”

His speech went over so well that he received more invitations to share it, and better yet, they started paying him for it. In the beginning, he spoke in front of college and high-school classes and at service clubs, before moving on to seminars in 1963, which launched him into the personal-development business. From then on, Jim Rohn became a trailblazer in the self help and personal development industry, impacting the lives of millions through his life-changing material.

Jim Rohn focused on the fundamentals of human behavior that most affect personal and business performance. His is the standard to which those who seek to teach and inspire others are compared. He possessed the unique ability to bring extraordinary insights to ordinary principles and events, and the combination of his substance and style captures the imagination of those who hear or read his words.

Jim is known as one of the great wordsmiths of our time.”

I also decided to provide a video to one of my favorite speeches from Jim Rohn, “The Art of Sowing.”

What is Network Marketing?

Why are so many people afraid to join a network marketing company? Is it due to the negative reputation that many before have given this industry. What is network marketing? Simply put, network marketing is a marketing method which uses contracted individuals to represent a product or service to the consumer. Just like the big box companies use Televisions, Radio, Billboards and such to reach their consumers – the same goes for network marketing companies. Consider each representative/distributor/associate simply as a Television or Radio ad, or a walking billboard. Many people get involved with such an industry with an attitude of getting rich quick. This is a bad attitude to have when getting involved with this industry. Making money is possible, but just like any other job – hard work and customer service skills are required. You must be able to put the work in with the notion that the income will come one day. Patience is the key ingredient to this industry.

Now, people tend to confuse network marketing with pyramid-selling. Both are completely different and one is illegal. Think about a traditional business. They might have a marketing department and a sales task force. The marketing department is in charge of getting in front of the people and raising their awareness of the product or service available. Once the people inquire about the product or service it is up to the sales team to make the actual sale happen. In network marketing, both departments are merged into one department known as a representative or distributor. Watch the video from Robert Kiyosaki regarding the network marketing industry.
