Maybe you’ve been looking for job
for a while or maybe you’re just tired of the daily slog to a cubicle. Either
way you have realized that your dreams are slipping further away
and you’re not ready to give up on them just yet. I’ve been there. That’s why I
created this blog showing people how to live the dream of a better life. A
life filled with possibilities, financial freedom, and time with family. So let’s
get started on your journey and learn how to work from home. When you are
looking at work from home companies, ask yourself these 3 questions: what is
it, can I do it, and how much can I earn if I do?
What is
it? Is the company based on various products that consumers want, need, and use
every day? Or is it based on the latest fad or ‘miracle berry’? The products
should be of high quality and in widespread use so you don’t have to create the
demand for the products. In fact, you shouldn't feel pressure to sell
anything at all. The company’s products should sell themselves. If you find
yourself creating demand for the product when you talk to
prospective customers then you have to question the longevity of your business.
How long can you keep that up? How long will your customers stick around if
they feel like they are being sold? Most of us aren’t salespeople and that’s
why the company’s products should already be in use every day in people’s
lives, so there isn’t any need to create the demand. The demand is already
there. You are just showing them a better product than what they are already
using. And hey, they can support your business while there at it. Simple.
Can I do
it? The company should have tools and resources to help you launch and run your
business. The focus here should be on the simplicity of the process. Is there a
lot of learning involved or can you be up and earning the same day? The most important tool
you should have is an automated system for presenting the products and business
to prospective customers and business partners. The most efficient business
building method is a meeting with several attendees at once. Not
everyone is comfortable speaking in front of a group of people. So your
business model should have a resource that does the presenting for you. Then your
time can be best used to follow up with those that are interested in moving
forward. The most important resource you can have is your sponsor’s/mentor’s
direct phone number. All the systems and training in the world can’t replace
the knowledge and experience of someone who knows first-hand what you are going
through. Your mentor is the difference between reinventing the wheel and
learning from those that have come before you to do what produces results.
What
can I earn if I do? This is the easiest question to answer. The answer should
always be unlimited. You should not have a cap on your earnings. We start
working from home because we are tired of the rat race and a boss who dictates
what we are worth. I prefer to get paid what I think I am worth, not what some
suit tells me I am worth. I no longer trade my time for money and I get paid
based on my efforts, as much or as little as I choose. Unless you are very
familiar with the industry and have a solid collegiate background in math, you
probably won’t understand the company’s compensation algorithm. I know I don’t,
but that doesn’t stop me from cashing my checks every month. Your primary
business building activities that your mentor shows you should maximize your
earnings in the compensation plan. Focus on your income producing activities (IPA’s)
and the money will follow.
