Until you reach your goal in 3 YEARS. (Maybe less, Maybe More.)

We reap what we sow, but harvest is never in same season as planting! Today you are planting...and will be at least for next several months.

Your harvest will come in time. Be persistent. Be patient. Think long term. Take action every day, (no matter how small) to build your business and you cannot fail.

MY 11 SECRETS TO SUCCEED WITH YOUR HOME BUSINESS

1. Your first ultimate start must include written goals and plans. Formulate a plan of weekly activity and be persistent in following it—if you fail to plan, you plan to fail. Sticking to your plan is essential for success.

2.Don't wait for everything to be exactly right to start...THERE WILL NEVER BE A "PERFECT" TIME! Start now, with whatever you have.

The things you need will come to you as you work toward your goal. You cannot become successful in anything when you're trying to do too many things at once.

3. Treat your Home business as a serious, full-time business, and it will become one. Think of your first six months primarily as a training period. Don't expect large earnings until after you've educated yourself.

4. Be patient. You'll work hardest your first six months or so and get compensated least. Big incomes never happen overnight.

They only come after you've properly shown your affiliates how to duplicate your efforts. Always be ENTHUSIASTIC!! Don't give yourself unrealistic expectations.

5. Don't complain to your upline leaders. Realize that what you accomplish is mainly in your hands, no one else's.

Also realize that, when you see a problem, 95% of time there are factors you are unaware of. Don't jump to conclusions. When you have a problem, present it in a concise letter as positive, constructive criticism. Offer solutions if possible, too.

Not only will this approach get you better results, but you'll be building your relationship with your upline instead of tearing it down.

6. Be organized, but don't allow act of organizing keep you from most important element of a successful business: MARKETING.

Market and promote your business EVERY DAY! Don't let little problems upset you. Concentrate on many positives...and "big picture."

7. Always remember that only thing that will never change is that there will always be changes. Don't let changes upset you.

Know that you will have to deal with changes and other obstacles, both big and small, continually. Be prepared to be flexible.

8. Don't be a negative thinker and don't let negative attitudes of others (even if they're family members, friends, or peers) influence you.

All great men and women in history had to overcome naysayers who said it couldn't be done—and then went out and did it. Think for yourself!

9. Don't be derailed by "perfection paralysis." Realize that you won't be able to do everything perfectly. Do best job you can, then move on to next project. Keep learning and keep moving ahead.

10. Read books (such as Napoleon Hill's classic, "Think And Grow Rich") that will convince you how powerful your mind really is. Develop tremendous potential in you (that we all have) that has never been tapped!

11. Don't quit. The only way to fail is if you give up. Remember always..."You are what you think you are"

If you offer a $50.00 coupon off first purchase, this may help some fence sitters to buy from you. But what if customer is already going to buy from you? You have just lost $50.00 in profit?

Instead of a coupon on a product customer is already going to buy, why not use coupon as an incentive to buy a new product or a new version of your product. When you use discount coupon in this fashion, you have introduced customer to another product. Now you have more than one product customer can purchase from you and you have not given away farm!

An Simple Exercise As always, here’s an exercise you can use to stretch your thinking about promotions Start from customer’s perspective and answer these three questions.

What goes on before customer purchases from you? What goes on while customer purchases from you? What goes on after customer purchases from you?

Answers to these three questions will give you ideas on how you can create promotions that will help customer buy from you now; buy more often; and buy more product?

For example, when I was in carpet business, we offered special pricing on vacuum cleaners. Vacuuming is single biggest effort you make to maintain your carpet. This was a natural add on for customer. But more importantly, it said to customer, “This store is concerned about my new carpet and how to maintain it in future!”

Conclusion There are a variety of promotions you can use in your business. Always ask, “Is this promotion fostering more sales now; more repeat customer business and purchase of more products from my business?”
