Home Business

A Roadmap to Success – Home Based Business by Darrell Lischka

Part 1

Have you ever wanted to start a home based business? Do you know how to develop a passive residual income or start a home business? Why do you want a home based business? These are important questions you must ponder and give some thought to. How do I get started or where do I go to learn about all this stuff? If you are reading this, I hope it’s because you wish to build a peaceful residual income and take control of your life.

From all that I have learned, read and observed over the past 10 years in the network marketing profession, successful people have 3 common traits that they have to build a solid passive residual income.

Those 3 elements are:

(1) A big “Why”
(2) Heart
(3) Being Coachable

Without those 3 elements as a foundation, everything else doesn’t matter in my opinion. You see – those 3 critical traits sets the stage for building a successful home based business and going through the ups and downs of creating a residual income. One must seriously consider their “Why” – because it will require they invest 10-15 hours a week over the next 3 to 5 years minimum if they want a solid home business. If it’s only for the money, they will not last because money at some point in the future will not be the driving force to building a passive residual income. Your why is your core desire about why you want to invest so much time in a home based business and what is it that you truly want out of life. For example, it could be to have your significant other home with the kids on a full time basis. It could be to have a better quality of life for your family, taking an extra vacation, purchasing a new vehicle or all of the above.

In other words, is your “why” big enough to push you through those challenging times when your business is not going so well or its late at night and your tired in need of some sleep. Successful people have a big why and are willing to forgo some sleep, invest some extra time away from the family to get the business going. By the way, to have a successful home based business and develop a residual income, you will sacrifice some time with your family. It’s simply not possible to work full time, develop a home business and devote the same time to your family. I’m not suggesting this will last forever, but your why needs to be important enough that you understand the reason you are doing this home based business. It’s because you want a better quality of life.

The second element is you need to truly care about helping others succeed and having a heart. Help enough people get what they want and you will in time achieve your level of success in a home based business. If you are only in this for yourself, good luck. Over the years I have seen many people fail in our business who didn’t fully understand the truth in that line. They felt they didn’t need the “Personal Growth” material, all they needed were the mechanics, and the Nuts & Bolts, scripts etc and they would just “do it”. With a touch of arrogance perhaps they just felt they knew all about that stuff and were above taking the time to learn how to become more every day.

Leaders are readers and understand that nobody is ever finished that journey. That one major quality of all real leaders is that they constantly are working upon themselves to be better and more each day. Remember, this is a people business and you need to invest time in people and develop a relationship over the long term to create a truly successful home based business and have a solid residual income in network marketing.

The third element and perhaps one of the most important is how coachable are you. Our business is a “People Business”. We are in the business of attracting quality people and helping them enhance their lives by enhancing the lives of others. If you are the type of person that knows it all, good luck again. It doesn’t hurt you to let someone else help you be successful in your home based business. I learned this from a very good friend and my coach – Cameron Howard. We used to butt heads a lot many years ago and still do some days, but I can truly say without hesitation that I have learned so much from him and am very thankful that he invested time with me. A good coach and mentor will be your roadmap, invest time in you and help you become successful to the best of their abilities.

We must be coachable to attract other people that are also coachable. As we grow into a stronger position of leadership, we develop the skills to coach the coaches to coach the coachable. Everybody is always a Leader-In-Training and remains so.

So, are you coachable? Take a moment and look at the results in your life to date and ponder where you may have been more trainable and thus more successful. Perhaps you have read all “those” books and feel you know better. If you attract others just like yourself, and you will – are they going to succeed with their present attitudes and philosophies? Experience has proven to us that only those that are truly coachable grow into positions of leadership. All leaders are fully aware that they must first be followers and remain open minded to learning more always. Does that describe you?

A good coach and mentor, is about being a friend and creating a relationship, realizing it just takes time. Respect is earned. If we do not invest time in people we will not be successful, thus we will not be able to develop a solid residual income or have a successful and long lasting home based business. The secret is to develop the skill to know who best to invest our time with. People are an intangible thing. It takes time to truly get to know another person and even at that we only know most people somewhat. To further complicate matters, there is no way to know beforehand just who is going to be successful. There is no way to truly be sure if a person’s desire to BE Free is so strong that they will go through the obstacles on the path to success. Many people enter our home business with a ton of people handling skills, leadership experience, family needs etc, in short, all that one would think they need to be tremendously successful and they never do a thing. Others, with little experience etc just go out and “do it” because they want it so bad they will pay the price to learn the skills necessary to succeed.

There is no proven way to measure the “Right Stuff” of a person until they are actually in the field doing it. There are “leading indicators” that suggest the potential is there however. These take time to ascertain and become aware of. It can’t be done effectively and consistently in a 5 or 10 minute conversation. It just takes time to get to know people and for them to get to know us. If you want a solid home based business and a solid residual income, realize you need to invest time in people, develop respect for each other and be a friend.

All of the skills needed to build a peaceful residual income are learnable. Every single person reading this document can BE another success story and have a solid home based business. Everybody!

Have a great week everyone

Home Based Business and Scams

Are you concerned if the home based business you are in or are looking at, is a Scam, read on:

MLM and Networking companies are very viable forms of business and have made many hard working entrepreneurs quite wealthy, but it has made many more a stable and profitable income with their home based business. Some have chosen a limited part time path for some extra spending money and a vast number have lost their shirt due to greed (thinking they can make millions by doing almost nothing), thinking their business was a get quick rich plan. Some lost everything due to poor planning and lack of consistent and coordinated business plan or even lack of knowledge on how to do the needed tasks to make money online. Your business success depends on it.

Let us look at some of the BIG signs that yell SCAM!

Anything that makes claims of extreme incomes fast with very little work involved.

Flyers stuck under your windshield of promising a successful home based businesse, that should be RED flags.

Is the emphasis on hiring more reps or on sales of products and services? If Reps are the big pressure then it is a sign of a SCAM.

Is this a startup company with grand plans for success but no track records?

Do they offer many training sessions that you pay for, specializing in raw raw raw and prancing the latest success story? A convention once a year would be considered normal for a strong company.

Are you paid on recruiting people but not on movement of product? Actually that is a Pyramid and is illegal.

Are you being asked to invest in buying large amounts of your companys products? Let the company carry the product and do the shipping.

Are you being strongly encouraged to purchase lots of books, CDs, DVDs, brochures and other company marketing and training materials? Many companies make a huge profit selling motivational supplies and materials, including web sites.

With offers of outrageous claims about miracle products, be skeptical. There are many and most medical advances have come about through years of study, not overnight successes. But in fairness when you are moving to holistic healing rather than standard medical care, you will find many natural products that do the same if not better than some medications. Always consult with your physician or naturopath.

Unfortunately home based business scams have happened for years taking the money; billions of dollars for their own profit, not the Reps. Do your research by watching for warning signs. Do not disengage brain as some people work on such a high energy, urgent feeling, of sign up now or all will be lost, trust your instincts. Does this really feel comfortable? Does the person answering your question feel like someone you want on your personal team?

You are ready to research having your own home based business to make money online? Smart idea, as the benefits are many. Such as huge tax benefit, what I call the 2 minute commute, having a measure of control over how much you earn, what hours and days you work and building residual income, to name a few. But how do you wade your way through the scams and watch out for the filim flam man?

When researching a company I like to see a proven track record, a clear training plan that is up to date with todays technologies, excellent products, 100% guarantees, a program that supports the concept of TEAM not competing against each other. To make money online with a home based business you will find a much higher success ratio when working with a TEAM.
