As an on-line business entrepreneur it is your job to bring affiliates into your down line. But that’s an oversimplification of what your job really is. Bringing people into business as new affiliates is like taking attendance first day of a University class in Ontology. Most of students aren’t sure why they signed up for course and most of them don’t have a clue what course is about. All they know is that someone advised them to enroll in it or another student who took course previously said, “if you take this class you’ll really like it.”

The real job of an on-line business entrepreneur is, to paraphrase Stephen Covey, “make sure your affiliates are aligned with mission, vision, and strategy of business.” That’s because “when people are filled with true understanding of needs, when they share a powerful commitment to accomplishing vision, when they are invited to create and continually improve structure and systems of business, then they have alignment.”

And why is alignment so important? Because your goal is to generate wealth and these are true wealth builders of your business. And if you want your potential wealth builders to build your wealth you have to know that in their eyes you are business. And if you they are no aligned with you they will not be likely to be much of a wealth builder.

We all know that running a home business is highly satisfying, and at times downright liberating! No clock to punch, no dress code, and best of all, no boss to answer to. But there are also many facets of business ownership that entrepreneurs must stay on top of. One of those is keeping expense to income ratio in balance. Below are seven painless ways to do just that.

1.To save on costly ink cartridges, print in draft mode, unless printout is for a client or will be reproduced.

2.After spending your hard earned money on those ink cartridges, turn them into a free ream of paper! Many office supply stores offer a free ream of copy paper when you recycle a used ink cartridge at their store. Ask your local office supply store if they offer this service to their customers.

3.Make that free paper last twice as long. How many times have you printed something without spell checking it first? Use back of those misprints for making lists and jotting down ideas. Another way to keep paper use down is to utilize annoying sheets that often print out last with just a small ad or footer on them. Turn them over and print on blank side.
