Home Based Business

DIY: Home Based Business

What is meant by a “DIY: Home Based Business”? The DIY stands for Do It Yourself, a Home Based Business is typically one that can be comfortably run from home (duh!) without having employees or a typical “brick & mortar” shop.The options for having a home business are virtually unlimited. The real key is to find something you enjoy, can work part-time from home & not have to invest a lot of capital. Because of these variables the “Answer” to which home business is right for you is going to vary by individual.

Choosing a Home Business Opportunity

Of course this will also vary by individual, but here is a list of some of the things I was looking for in my own home based business:

• Inexpensive to start
• Flexible
• Rewards in proportion to effort
• Easy
• Fun
• Free business building tools
• Ability to build business online
• Honest
• Legal
• Environmentally conscious natural products
• Potential to replace full-time income working part-time
• NOT fly-by-night

The Home Based Business Opportunity I Chose

While I had looked for years & tried a few things, the home business opportunity I finally decided on was a Summit Group/Watkins business. The fact that Watkins has been in business 141 years put my mind at ease about dealing with a fly-by-night scam. If I was going to invest my time in a home business, I wanted to ensure the company would still be around for the long haul. There are so many facets on how you can build your own home based business, I can’t go into all the details of the opportunity here. The complete full disclosure is available for free here: DIY: Home Based Business. But, I will tell you this, it has been by far the best use of $39.95 I have EVER spent in my life. The website above (the one with the free details) is provided to me by the Summit Group free of charge. Why, simply because this business is about helping others achieve their goals; I don’t make a dime in this business until you make a dollar. Is your future worth $39.95? Mine was.

Benefits of a Home Based Business

This is not a “definitive list” by any means. Just a few of the reasons I chose to start a home based business. Also keep in mind that this list of benefits applies to my Summit Group/Watkins home based business; while there are many benefits to working part-time from home, not all opportunities have the same benefits. That being said, understand this; there are many ways to success, be it personal, professional or spiritual.

Home Based Business Secret

The “secret” is finding the one that works for you. Consider for a moment “Weight Loss” diets or programs. You have Nutrisystem, Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, etc. Do they work? Yes & No. Just look at the testimonials, you see people that made it work. But, if you stop using the system (Kirstie Alley) then the answer is no. Watch the asterisk *Results not typical. Why are the results not typical? Because most people “typically” don’t work the system. IF you work the system, the system will work. The common denominator in ass success scenarios is YOU. You have to find the system that works for you, then throw cauti0n to the wind and “Work the System.” It really is that simple. With that disclaimer out of the way, here we go:

• Part-time: Most of us don’t have the luxury of being able to walk away from our full-time job. As a result for us to build a successful home based business requires the ability to work it part-time. While working a business opportunity part-time is a benefit, there is a danger. It is important to spend time EVERY day on your business. Even if only for ten minutes. If you say “tomorrow I’ll do it”, to often tomorrow never comes.

• Residual Income: Probably easiest the least understood concept about having a home based business, and conversely the most important. Simply put, in the traditional job market, you go to work and you get paid. Stop working and so does the pay. In a business that allows for a residual income you will continue to earn money in the future for work that you do now. If for example  you get sick or take time off for a vacation, you continue to receive income. Actors, writers & musicians all belong in the category of residual income. There are many home based businesses that allow you to tap into the residual income benefit.

• Work from home: I know, it’s redundant: working a home based business from home, but I want to emphasize what a HUGE benefit that is. The flexibility to earn an income from the convenience of your own home is fantastic. No commute, traffic or grid lock. And depending on the business, no inventory, billing, shipping, employees or co-workers. Need to take the kids to the Dr.? Done, It’s your business and your decision.

• Online business: What’s better than having a home base business? One that you can build online! While building your business online is not the most common way most home entrepreneurs work, it is one that is gaining popularity. Not too many years ago door-to-door and person-to-person were the only options. With the advent of the internet, the ability to reach more people quicker became available.

• Free online training: Obviously this is not a benefit for every business opportunity you look at, but it should be one you highly consider. The reason being it offers you total flexibility to build your business at your pace. You don’t have to wait for when your mentor is available to show you “the ropes.” By the same token as your working towards building a residual income, you are able to point others to the online training, freeing you to expose more people to the opportunity.

• Free Marketing Website: This is another category that not every home based business opportunity you look at will offer. I can tell you from personal experience that it is quite nice! For the curious you can check my marketing website I received for free here: DB46.com. The main purpose for this site is to sift the wheat from the chaff. Because I’m primarily building my business online, it’s important for me to know which people are actually serious about building a home based business and the ones that are just “tire kickers”. My free website offers all the details of the business for free online, to those that are serious about a business, and the ones that find it is the right fit for them at this time are the ones I work with.

• Support from successful mentors: This one is kinda a no brainer. To have a successful business it’s important to work with people that have a successful track record. You need an opportunity that is tried and true along with people that can offer you the support you need because they’ve “been there & done that.”

• Spending time with family: While money is a benefit from working from home in building your business, being able to spend time with your family is another. It is often the key ingredient to having success. The desire to be with your family more, and there support in that endeavor are paramount in your success.

• Flexible: The flexibility to work your home based business part-time while still taking care of the other priorities in your life are key. This key will allow you to unlock the full potential of the opportunity you have chosen.

• Cash Now option: Typically building a residual income is a long term proposition. That being said, it is nice if you have the option to also earn some “Now Money” as you build the residual side of the business.

• No selling required: Some people love to sell. It’s in there blood, they can’t help it. Most of us though don’t fall into that category. Having a home based business you can build without having to sell is a HUGE benefit to a lot of us.

• Multiple methods to market: Not being tied down to just one way to reach people is another benefit of building your business. Be it classified ads, online ads, blogs, banner ads, door-to-door, catalog, business cards, mailers or whatever, it’s nice to have options.

• Tax advantages: This is one area that I do NOT recommend DIY. When it comes to taking advantage of the tax benefits of having your own home based business, it is best to have a qualified professional on your side. As you research this particular benefit, you will see that is well worth your while to have a professional on your side.

• Personal Growth: I’m sure you’ve heard the saying: “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over, but expecting different results”. In a nutshell this is saying that when you look at the things that you’ve tried in the past that didn’t work, be open minded. Most of us will find that the common denominator in these sceanarios is us. Take the Nutrisystem analogy above. All of those systems will work, but if you’ve tried them all and they didn’t, you probably need to look in the mirror. If you continue to do what you’ve done, you’ll continue to get what you’ve gotten, are you happy with “what you got?” If not, consider working on yourself while your working on your business.

• Free Audio training: Another one of those benefits that is not offered by all opportunities you may look at. But,I can tell you from personal experience it’s an awesome one to have. I am able to learn techniques for building my home based business in time that usually would have gone to waste. While driving to and from my day job, I have the ability to learn from mentors who have built there successful businesses over the years. Valuable training that wouldn’t be available otherwise.

• Trusted time-tested business model: Most people look in the wrong places when trying to find a business opportunity. Most are looking for the newest most hyped visible thing out there. Be cautious though, here are some sobering statistics: 80% of all businesses fail within the first five years. To ensure the greatest success in any endeavor you look at, consider if they have the track record to back it up.

• Turnkey paint-by-numbers system: Having the “perfect” business opportunity is useless if you don’t have a simple step-by-step turnkey system you can follow. Want to know the real reason McDonald’s is #1 in their industry? How are they able to have minimum wage teens running their million dollar businesses. Simple, they have a step-by-step turnkey proven system for doing everything they do. From making the fries to mopping the floors, every McDonald’s does it the same way.

• Ultra-low start up: While having a proven system that can earn you money is important, it’s also important for it to be within your means. If you want a successful business you can always start a McDonald’s, the franchises are still available. Most of us probably don’t have a Million or so dollars that we can part with though. Along with the potential in your home based business, the ability to start it with minimum up-front investment is crucial.

So there you have it, a few of the benefits of having your own home based business. Now all you have to do is take the next step. I wish you the best in whatever opportunity you find to further your goals for yourself and your family.

Distributors Wanted

7 Reasons People Become Product Distributors

According to the DSA (Direct Selling Association), people become direct selling distributors for one of seven reasons. Which one is you?:

1) Discount Buyers: These distributors are searching for product discounts and/or wholesale products.  Obviously price isn’t the “only” consideration. It doesn’t matter what the discount is if nobody wants to buy the product your distributing.

2) Goal Seekers: The person who is a “Goal Seeker”  distributor usually  gets involved with direct selling to make some quick cash for a specific purpose, such as Christmas, pay a bill or vacation. If their goal is short term, so is their life in product distribution.

3) Upwardly Mobile: Distributors who “truly” desire incremental income to improve their quality of life tend to be “Upwardly Mobile.”  As a result of their longer term goals and desires they tend to be long-term product distributors.

4) Social Butterflies: I think we all know the personality that likes to be the “Center of Attention” wherever they go.  These personalities desire social interaction & truly enjoy the “networking” of  “network marketing“. The guy or gal who likes “door-to-door” type sales & the well known method of “party plans”  meet the social interaction desires of these product distributors.

5) Overachievers: Product distributors who crave recognition are often the overachievers. Direct selling product distribution offers plenty of recognition. This recognition comes from conventions, distributor events, as well as through multiple titles. As a distributor grows their business, they will escalate up the organization in title & rank (not to mention income).

6) Product Advocates: The people that get into product distribution “backwards” are usually product advocates. How do you “back into” product distribution? Simply put, these people were introduced to a product that they fell in love with. Because of this deep connection with the product and it’s benefits, they desire to “share” the benefits of said product. These product advocates have such a drive & passion for helping other people that their enthusiasm & charisma carries them into joining the business.

7) Aspiring Entrepreneurs: Career people with a burning desire to succeed are the best classification for these distributors. They have the tendency to see the “whole picture” when it comes to building a residual income business. As a result, they set goals: “Plan their work & work their plan.” Most entrepreneurs weigh the pros and cons of any potential product distribution business, calculate the ROI, become true students of the business model & move forward; working each day to achieve their short & long term goals. Typically, entrepreneurs are very productive; and most were simply waiting for the right “vehicle” in which to drive to their success.

So, which category did you find yourself in? Many of us are probably a blend of two or more of these product distributor categories. Best of luck to each and every one of you who are seeking to enrich the lives of yourself and your family by helping others achieve their goals.

Tough Times in New Decade

Making Money in the New Decade

The newspaper clipping is from our local paper today. It talks about some of the realities Americans are facing regarding making money in these tough economic times. I don’t think it’s really necessary to spend a lot of time lamenting the current economic condition. We all know that the economy took a big hit last year, and that for a lot of Americans, making money is more of a struggle. Even if you were fortunate enough to not have been impacted by the dismal economy, it’s still important to be prepared. Having a second plan for making money is a wise thing to do. As the old adage goes: “It’s better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it.” With that being said, let’s look at some of the opportunities a Watkins home business has.

Making money in a Watkins home business is probably one of the easiest ways out there. No inventory is required, nor do you have to do any selling. There is an association in Watkins know as the Summit Group that has pioneered and perfected a “paint by number” system for making money.  This proprietary 2-step plan is available only when joining Watkins through an associate who is a member of the Summit Group. Just a few of the benefits of being with Watkins & the Summit Group are:

• Free coaching, training and mentoring
• Ability to earn immediate cash & ongoing residual income
• Co-op ad program available
• Free marketing and sales tools
• Free weekly conference calls
• Super-low start up costs & great income tax deductions
• Opportunity to build a full time income working part time
• Traditional or online marketing methods
• Prizes, bonuses and free trips to exotic places
• Free website to pre-screen candidates
• Online training website and message board
• Flexible Hours (leaves time for what’s truly important in your life)
• In-demand products with 141 year impeccable reputation
• Work at your own pace

Whether you decide that a Watkins Summit Group home business is for you or not, I strongly encourage you to have a Plan B. The time to have another option for making money is BEFORE you need it. If last year is to be a lesson at all, it is to know that the status quo is not a given. Anyones financial, health or living arrangements can change without warning. If you are serious about wanting to prepare your own Plan B, I would love to talk to you. You can click the link below for full details with no obligation. The thing you need to understand is, I will NOT try to convince anyone that they should join the Watkins Summit Group. I will however answer any questions you may have, in a low key, never high pressure manner. I strongly believe that once anyone who truly understands the potential that is available (to make money and have more free time) they will see it as a no brainer. If you decide that now is not the time for you to get involved, no harm no foul. At least you won’t be left with that nagging feeling of “I wish I had checked that out.”

Post Holiday Blues

The “Cure” for the Post Holiday Blues

Many people find this time of year to be stressful. Trying to meet all of your social obligations along with the money that is needed for gifts. If you find yourself wondering what you can do to earn a little extra cash, consider this. Watkins has a wonderful business opportunity available. If you would like to earn just a little cash working part-time, this business opportunity may be for you. While it is true that you can earn a full-time income working with Watkins, you don’t have to.

For those that right now can’t commit the time or energy to work towards a full-time income with a part-time home business, retailing Watkins products is a great way to make some “quick cash”. Typically all that is necessary to start retailing Watkins products is to show the Watkins catalog to friends or family. Watkins now has over 350 products, all of which we use daily in our lives. No inventory or “minimums” is required. Once your customer places an order, you either fax, phone or input it online. WatkinsOnline.com is also a wonderful way for friends or family that don’t live close to you to order. All they need is your associate id# and they are set. Very simple, and very easy.

The categories of Watkins products are:

Watkins Natural Gourmet:
A complete line of natural and organic spices for the discriminating cook. This is where you will find the Watkins signature product: vanilla. In 1895 when Watkins introduced Vanilla Extract made with Madagascar Pure Vanilla, it quickly became one of Watkins most popular products. Watkins world reputation came when in 1928 at the International Exposition in Paris, (France, not Texas) Watkins was awarded the Grand Prize Gold Medal for Highest Quality. This distinction was placed on several of Watkins products: the vanilla, black pepper, cinnamon and other ground spices.

Watkins Natural Personal Care:
Be sure to look for the Natural Products Association seal on many of the Watkins Natural Apothecary products. To earn the NPA seal, products must be formulated with at least 95% natural ingredients from renewable resources. Watkins is proud to be one of the first companies to gain this certification. The diversity of these products is immense. They include: hand and body lotions, body creams and oils, bath salts, hair and body wash, facial care, foot care and more. For full descriptions and a detailed accounting go here.

Watkins Natural-Based Remedies:
In 1868 when Watkins began doing business, the Minnesota prairie didn’t have easy access to doctors. Not that many people could have afforded to use them even if they had been available. This is the reason families have counted on Watkins for over 140 years. Watkins Apothecary has been there to provide quality products that people could rely on to make them feel better. Of course wasn’t the only Apothecary company in the 1860’s, they just happen to be the only one left. From the past to the present, Watkins provides tried and true products with the original money back guarantee. Some of the favorites you may know: Watkins Pain Relieving Liniment, Watkins Methol Camphor Vapor Rub, Watkins Petro-Carbo Salve and of course their full line of Watkins Supplements.

Natural Plant Based Home Care:

For well over a century and a quarter, Watkins has been delivering environmentally, high quality products. With that, Wakins is proud of their plant-based line of cleaning products. These Watkins products adheres to their commitment of helping our families live naturally. Watkins natural cleaners include the most popular cleaning products.

Different Perspective

A Different Perspective On A Home Based Business

To start the discussion of  “different perspectives” check out my photograph “Colors” above. It was taken locally here in Texas. Now I’m not the first person to take a picture of the American flag; by any stretch of the imagination, nonetheless I think it ain’t half bad. I’m sure your wondering, “What in the world does this have to do about having a home based business?”. To which I answer: “More than you might think.

There are many parallels between how this photograph came to be and how I build my home based business. For one, I didn’t “go out” to photograph that day. I was coming home from work (day job) and stopped in a local banks parking lot to take this picture. This is also one of the ways I build my home based business. I don’t “go out” to work my home based business. I work my home based business when I go out. Grocery store, movies, restaurant etc. I’m always passing out my business card to potential candidates.

Tweaking. Yes, the photograph was “tweaked” a little in Paint Shop Pro. It is still an uncropped original photograph, I just tweaked the colors a “little”. The same with my daily activities. I still work my full time job while building my home based business. I still spend time with my family and enjoy my hobbies. I just tweak a few things to get the time in I need to build my home based business. To start off, I add 30 minutes to my day by getting up a half hour earlier. On my days off (from my day job) I “block” out a specified amount of time for my online business building and related activities. As I stated before, I also work my home based business when I’m out and about. The amount of time it takes to build your own home based business will depend on the individual. Starting out a good rule of thumb is to spend at least 10 minutes a day. It is important to do something regarding your business everyday. Skipping one day can lead down that slippery slope to where, before you no it, a month has gone by.

The third similarity between my photograph and my home based business is cost. You can have tremendous results without having to plop down a lot of cash. For the photograph above, I used a $99 Radio Shack 5 mega-pixel camera my wife had gotten me for Fathers Day. I’ve used it to take thousands of photographs. Great bang for the buck. On the home based business side, $39.95.

So what does it all mean. Simply put, you don’t have to drastically alter how you live your life day to day to build a home based business. Working part-time you can generate a substantial income using the tools available from the “Summit Group”. It is a tried and true turnkey business plan that is so simple, it consists of just 2 steps. Hmmmm…. low cost, simple way to make money at home without quitting your day job, the only question is: “Are you ready?”

Watkins Word of Mouth

Watkins Products Word of Mouth Advertising

Many people are mystified by “Word of Mouth” advertising. I think we all really know what it is, we just don’t call it that. We hear of how Watkins products are sold by word of mouth instead of the conventional method of heavy advertising and we think “how odd, wonder what that’s about?”. Let me share a story of how Word of Mouth advertising recently worked in my sphere of influence.

My sister was having problems with her computer. She remarked that due to the computers age she had thought of getting a new one. Knowing that she had been plagued with the typical “PC” issues (viruses, lock-ups and shut-downs) I suggested that she look into getting a Mac. On the surface they appear to cost more, however taking into account all issues (buying anti-virus software, etc.) she might actually come out ahead. (Especially if peace of mind is worth anything!). Long story short, she bought a Mac. Loves it! At Thanksgiving I was quizzing her on it, she raved about how wonderful, compact and easy to use it is. Guess what. Now my dad is getting a Mac. This is word of mouth advertising. But watch this.

Because I recommended she look at Mac’s, my sister bought one and my dad is going to. How much did Apple pay me for the Word of Mouth Advertising? You guessed it: Zilch! When my dad gets a Mac, how much will my sister get for her “Word of Mouth Advertising”? Ditto, nada. Now replace Mac with Watkins and you have a different story. Watkins actually pays me when I recommend a Watkins product and someone buys it. Do I just recommend a Watkins product just because I get paid. Nope, I love and use Watkins products everyday in my household. Of course Watkins has a money back guarantee, should for any reason someone not like a product I recommend. Win-win situation.

So, think about this. The next time you recommend a movie, restaurant or hairdresser; think “I’m using word of mouth advertising.” Should you like to learn how you could actually work part-time from home earning money to help the household budget, click here.

What product do you sell?

What Product Did You Sell Today?

Don’t believe me? “What’s my product?” you say. Simple, your product is time. Your time. If you work for someone and get paid money (isn’t that why we all do it) the product your selling is your time. Below we will talk about the 4 most basic ways to make money. The only thing that changes is the product that’s sold.

EMPLOYEE: Most of us are familiar with this one. We have a job. How much you make is determined by your “Title”. But what your selling for money (ie: your product) is your time. Familiar with “Don’t work, don’t get paid.”? Just because it is the most common way of earning money doesn’t mean it’s the best. Your “product” is limited by the 24 hours per day you have to “sell.” But, there are other options.

INVESTOR: Great work if you can get it. Typically to be in this position you already have a “LOT” of money. Maybe from working, but the money often is inherited or derived from a business. The money that is earned is used to invest in other things: stocks, bonds, drawing interest from CD’s etc. While this is one “job” most people would like to do, most aren’t in the position due to lack of money.

SELF EMPLOYED: Still selling their time, the self employed often times are getting more money for that “product.” Think Doctor, Lawyer, hair dresser, landscaping business etc. Same issue of time that the employee has. Don’t work, don’t get paid. When your product is your time, and time is money, there will ALWAYS be a limit to what you can accomplish. So what’s left? Everyone only has 24 hours in a day, right?

BUSINESS OWNER: Hmmm… how is that different? A business owner uses other peoples time to sell his product for which he makes money. Only 24 hours in a day, however having other people work for you allow the business owner to “leverage” his time. Simply put, 5 employees hypothetically nets you 120 possible working hours in 1 24 hour day. Now I know none of us actually works 24 hours (no matter how it may feel!) but, the principal is the same. Typically a business owner will have a proven money making system. Think McDonalds, Subway or Best Buy. These businesses have a proven system for making money from a product. Though not fool-proof (think Circuit City) it is often the best option for those of us not independently wealthy. 

Alright, so now your motivated to earn some extra money. Where to start. Well if you’ve got some cash put back there is always the franchise route. Franchises have a proven duplicatable formula for making money. See this article for an example. Kind back at the investor problem, not all of us have that kind of money to invest in a franchise. So what if I told you it is possible to get the benefits of a franchise (duplicatable formula for making money) that doesn’t require a HUGE capital outlay? ….And if you act NOW!!!   Just kidding, seriously there is a fun, simple no selling required way to make money that the initial investment is only $39.95. A tried and true business opportunity that has allowed average people (ones like you and me) to make extra money. This business has a 141 year track record. The first company to offer a “Money Back Guarantee. Has products that are made in the USA, many of which are organic, natural and “green.” That company is Watkins. The formula I’m speaking of (no selling required) is 2 steps and comes from a group that is an “associate” of Watkins. They’re called the Summit Group. While there are many places you can go to join Watkins, there is only 1 way to get the Summit Group experience. And that is to sign-up for Watkins from someone in the Summit Group (like ME!)
