Need help getting your Home Based Business on track? Are you
feeling that you got lost along the way, and can’t find your way
back? I’ve been there. Here are 10 Steps to Success in starting
or restarting your Home Based Business.
1.What is your WHY for doing this business? Write it down, speak
it out loud to yourself, and remind yourself of it EVERYDAY.
2.What are your goals and dreams, personal and financial, and
how soon do you want to achieve them? Write them down, first
personal, then financial. Put them up on your refrigerator, or
somewhere you will see them everyday. Adjust them as needed
along the way to success.
3.Create a 90 day chart for your 90 DAY PLAN of action, with
your forms of advertisement, whether talking to people, putting
out flyers, ads, etc. How many people do you plan to talk to a
day, how many flyers, ads, etc. per day; write it down for each
day on your 90 DAY PLAN. Also, write down your financial goal
for these 90 days.
4.In a daily planner, plan your day in 15 minute increments for
each day, including your advertising in the days as plotted on
your 90 DAY PLAN. Do not deviate from your plan unless in an
emergency situation. You are YOUR OWN BOSS, so treat yourself as
your own employee. DO THE JOB AS YOU WOULD FOR SOMEONE ELSE,
only better.
5.Each day on your 90 DAY PLAN chart, jot down your progress
(how many people you actually talked to, 10/day suggested, ads &
flyers put out, etc), and how many people responded, how many
were contacted, how many& how much sales per each form of
advertisement.
6.At the end of your 90 DAY PLAN, divide how many sales were
made by the number of each form of advertising done. Now, did
you meet your quota set for your advertising and financial
goals? If not, begin a new 90 DAY PLAN of action, increasing
each form of advertising . EXAMPLE: Goal $1000.00 profit, for
100 flyers put out, $50.00received; need to increase number of
flyers to 2000 to reach the goal of $1000.00.($1000 ¸ $50.00 =
20X100=2000)
7.By using the 90 DAY PLAN and the formula given above, and
making adjustments as indicated for the 2nd 90 DAY PLAN, YOU CAN
PROJECT WHEN YOU’LL REACH YOUR GOALS, providing you do not
deviate from your 90 DAY PLAN, and your daily planner.
8.Now that you have that down, ALWAYS, follow-up with your
customers. INITIAL FOLLOW-UP should be within 24 hours to
prevent loss of leads.
9.DUPLICATE,DUPLICATE,DUPLICATE. Are you involved in a
COMMISSIONS OR RESIDUAL INCOME business. If you are, DUPLICATE
YOURSELF by showing others how to build their business & obtain
their dreams. This is very important for stable growth &
maintenance of your business.
10.If you’re not involved in a commissions or residual income
business, WHY NOT? There are many, many such opportunities
available with FREE sign-up. The Internet is full of them, and
they can offer a steady, multi-stream income.
