Running a Work at Home Business

For anyone who wants to earn more money than they'd ever get with a day job, then the only real answer (besides winning the lottery) is to start their own business. Of course, starting a business can be very costly, something that puts starting a traditional business out of the reach of many people.

However, there is an alternative, and that's starting a business from home. There are several different alternatives a person can choose from, from coming up with a completely new idea and concept and creating their own products, to joining an existing business, to starting an online business.

Lately, a huge number of people have been lured by the idea of making their millions on the Internet, but the sad fact is, few of them ever make a decent living, let alone a fortune, online. Why is that?

Many online opportunities are promoted as being very simple, and easy enough for everyone to do. If that were truly the case, there would be a lot more online success stories today than there are!

One problem people have is too much choice. There are so many different opportunities and ideas, that they try and run with the lot, and end up falling quite heavily, simply because without focus a business is doomed to failure.

Another problem is that many people really don't have any idea about running a business, and don't think about their home business as they would a real, traditional business.

If you really do want to start a work at home business, and aren't afraid to put in time and effort (especially in the beginning) there are a few important things you need to know to set you on the right path.

Firstly, watch your expenditure. An online business can be one of the least expensive businesses to run. Most people already have the basics they need to get started (a computer with an Internet connection and a phone).

However, the problem comes when they actually start looking at online businesses and means of making money. Suddenly they're confronted with a million and one different products ALL of which are supposed to guarantee success.

Many people spend hundreds, or even thousands of dollars, very quickly when they're starting out in the world of Internet business, and soon find that most of it was money down the toilet. To avoid this, you need to find a home business that has a proven System in place that will do most of the work for you.

One such System is the Reverse Funnel System, which is a robust funded proposal markeint system that quite literally has people paying you to be on YOUR team… The quality of your home business team instantly elevates to a new level and everybody on your team has equal chance at success with 100% duplication.

That being said, there are numerous ways of advertising your Reverse Funnel System to begin making money right out of the gate, including: eBay and other auction sites, affiliate marketing, AdWords (and other contextual advertising), banner ads, online classifieds, ezines, etc… as well as marketing offline.

Within the Reverse Funnel System marketing portal, there are over 1,000 different highly effective ways to advertise all laid out in an easy to follow searchable database!

Once you know what it is you want to do, then find one very good resource, and stick to it, The hint here is to do a bit of research first, and stick with the types of marketing that flat out works.

Ty Coughlin and the Inner Circle Mentors hold nightly Reverse Funnel System marketing/training calls for all RFS user… this in itself is a very valuable resource!!

The next thing you need to focus on is how you're going to build your business. You then need a step-by-step plan you can follow, and you need to be able to follow it – the Reverse Funnel System and the Inner Circle Mentors walk you through the exact plan to succeed!

One of the best things about working from home is also one of the most problematic, and that's the fact that you can work your own hours. Unfortunately, if you're not able to discipline yourself you may find that the hours actually spent in front of your computer aren't enough.

It helps if you can work out a day to day plan of exactly what you want to accomplish each day, so that you know you're on the right track. Making money gets addictive and although the Reverse Funnel System does most of the work for you… Once the checks are rolling in BIG, you will want to keep placing more and more ads… Don’t forget about your family!

Take your new found wealth and go on holidays with your family. Put aside a couple hours a day to do your work and that’s all which is necessary. Again, you will be taught the methods to mastering success.

Finally, it's worth remembering that a work at home business, even an online one, will require a certain amount of dedication and effort before you'll be rewarded with results. It's not a matter of just paying the money to join and waiting for the money to start flowing in, and if anyone tells you it is, odds are, they're lying!

Be prepared for dedicating at least a few hours a day to start. You need to stick with it and grow a good, solid foundation for your business. You'll reap the rewards if you treat your new business as a business!!

Tips to Staying Focused When Starting Your Home-Based Business

Reverse Funnel System - 5 Tips to Staying Focused when Starting Your Home-Based Business

Have you decided to start a home-based business? You may be juggling a full time job, a part time job and family life. You know that there are many things you need to do in order to successfully start your business and work from home.

How are you going to fit your business project into your daily commitments? It's easy to become overwhelmed and lose focus. Losing focus will cause you to take no action. Action is essential to moving on from where you are now, to where you want to be.

Here are 5 tips to stay focused on starting your home based business:

1. Chunk down

If you have a large task to tackle, it is always easier when you break it down into smaller components. You'll find it easier to focus because you won't feel as overwhelmed. For example, 'Register a domain name' can be broken down into: 'Think of five name ideas', 'Find out which ones sound catchy', 'Register it’ and so on.

2. Keep a 'to do' list

Once you've broken down major tasks into smaller ones, make and keep a 'to do' list. Always keep a notepad and pen with you so that you can jot down any new ideas, such as where to advertise. As you start making notes of different things, you will instantly start to notice ‘other’ things which will help you in your journey to success.

For example, if a billboard, magazine ad, or radio spot catches your attention, make a note of what it was you liked about it. Then try to figure out a way to incorporate that advertising in your promotions.

Here’s the thing… If you liked it, so do other people – so will many other people!

3. Schedule your time

Every evening, decide on three to five tasks on your 'to do' list that you wish to accomplish the following day. Stay focused on these tasks and only move on to the next tasks on your list once these have been completed.

4. Set goals

There is nothing better for staying focused than setting goals. Visualize exactly where you want to be in a month, six months and a year. In a month's time, do you want to be making an extra $5,000 a month OR $5,000 a week?

What ever your goals are, stay focused on them and you will attract them! Keep your goals at the forefront of your daily activities and keep striving for them. When you reach a milestone, re-set, re-focus and go for it again!!

5. Say no

Be assertive and carve out more time for your home business. Don’t waste your time micro managing people on your team. When you become a positive, go forward leader so will your team. Develop a strong personality and people will magnetically be attracted to join with you.

If you put these five tips into practice, you'll definitely find it easier to focus on and achieve your ultimate goal of working from home and achieving financial success with the Reverse Funnel System.
