OK, you have successfully launched your new home based business. You are usingrepparttar internet in your business. You have a TV set in your office, andrepparttar 100270 kids are either back in school or grown and gone their own ways. And you are working. In your work you userepparttar 100271 internet for research on occasion, and you decide to keeprepparttar 100272 TV set on “for whit noise inrepparttar 100273 background.” What to have running?

1. What does your work area look like (see photo at right). Did you remember to clean your desk space and do all your filing last night at close of business. Is your old work all properly filed and is your work space clean and neat, holding only your current work? If not, it should be. Don’t work in a workspace as shown inrepparttar 100274 photo --- it is terribly time wasting.

2. I’ve gotta do my email. I get my regular daily portion of SPAM that I have to sort through diligently every morning for 2 or 3 hours just in case I received a new job coming in via email?

Written by Raven H


Someone has already done what you want to do: make money, build a home based business, market online, create a stupendous mailing list, providerepparttar best customer service, produce brilliant products, move from employee to business operator, work from home, travelrepparttar 100269 world, whatever.

They may not have done it as brilliantly as you are going to, but at this point, if you aren't doing it with their level of success, you need a different approach.

You knowrepparttar 100270 old adage: insanity is doingrepparttar 100271 same thing over and over, expecting a different result.

This is where you take a fresh look at that old-fashioned practice of mentoring for your home based business or personal life, and give it a makeover - with you asrepparttar 100272 mentee.

There are two keys to a successful mentoring process:

1. your mentor has to be an outright success inrepparttar 100273 area in which you need skills upgrading; and 2. you need to copycatrepparttar 100274 How To your mentor used or uses to attain that success.

Simple.

Wrong. Lesson number one. People often think mentoring is a slow, 'feeling your way' process where sage advice is given and received to mull over and hopefully osmote into a useful result.

Perhaps that is a comfortable way to proceed, but in an age of lightening fast technological development and change, you also need faster, more direct development methods.

So, I'll repeatrepparttar 100275 two keys to a successful mentoring process:

1. your mentor has to be an outright success inrepparttar 100276 area in which you need skills upgrading; and 2. you need to copycatrepparttar 100277 How To your mentor used or uses to attain that success.

Rock bottom, your mentoring makeover - Part 1 - is to transform it from 'comfortable' mode to 'practical' mode:

 a clear, stated goal,  How To, action-oriented, easy steps,  timeframes, and  reporting.
