Business - Exercise, Learning and Free Time

Stay focused on gaining new information that can help you in your business.  You might be wasting time and you should be putting that time to good use moving closer to your goals.

Do you really have goals for your business?  This should be one of the first steps.  Come up with what you want to accomplish.

You might think that you don't have a lot of extra time to get more education.  Don't think about education in negative terms.  You have to find a way to get the most important things done.

Tony Robbins talks about constantly improving yourself.  Are you exercising and getting your body into the best shape possible?  This is important to your business.  Working out gives you more energy and you may be able to learn while you are getting into shape.

Just the other day, I had signed up for a free private label rights pack.  They had a quick download of plr products, I like to grab them when they are available.  A day or two passed and I checked my email to find that another free gift was included ( you have to read the book called influence to learn about how important free gifts are to people - it's deep).  The free gift was an audio recording that talked about how to create products faster.  The beautiful thing about audio files ( mp3 downloads ) is that you can do other things while listening to them.  I listened to the mp3 program first at the computer.  Do you get all of the information the first time through reading or listening?  I liked the recording and then decided to put my apple ipod to good use while I walked on the treadmill.  

This is the double whammy.  You get exercise and you learn at the same time.  It is good to go back over and review the information that you receive.  

The audio interview talked about using private label rights and how to leverage them for good use in your business.  Really interesting talk that could be helpful to lots of business owners.  The main point was to use your creativity and be different from the rest of the crowd.  A second main point was to focus on your strong points when it comes to creating content.  If you like writing, put lots of your effort into writing.  If you like doing videos, get fully into using video.  Don't waste a lot of time doing things that you don't like to do.  The audio was entertaining and educational at the same time.

Find the time to keep improving and learning.  Your business is constantly changing and you have to start making yourself more valuable.  Exercise and build a stronger body.  Increase your energy levels to get more done in your business.  Find audio programs that you leverage.  You can listen to them while you are doing your exercises on the treadmill or during breaks or free time.  You never know what will be the spark of information that takes you to the next level.  

Internet Business Services - Get Started on the Global Business Road

Are you turning to the internet for income?  The job market is tough for lots of people.  This is not just a problem that is local, but it is a global issue.

The internet bridges the gap of talents.  There might be a big demand for services in one area, but they might not have the proper cost for those services.  More people are getting into business marketplace through the web.

Just take something simple like content.  The number of blogs online is constantly growing.  There are lots of small business owners that want to participate in the world of blogging. They might not have all the time that is required to constantly create high quality articles.  Business owners understand the value of being able to purchase the means of production that can be leveraged.  So a business might know that blogging is catching on, but they don't have the expertise in house.  What would a business owner do?  Look for solutions and take advantage of them.  They might look into service providers that can produce the content that they need at the right price.  

Blogging is just one type of service that is in demand online.  Companies need to keep the content flowing to help bring in new prospects.  The online marketplace has lots of talented people that are looking to earn income and brings buyers and sellers together.

Earning income as a service provider for other businesses might just be the start.  After learning how to navigate the online business world, service providers might see new needs for services and establish products and services to fill the void.

The lone blogger that is writing content for other businesses might turn to their own product creation.   They might start selling ebooks inside of the amazon marketplace.  They might also start setting up their own online content sites where they take advantage of list building and affiliate marketing.  Learning the basics of business could lead to other sources of income as a result of learning new skills.

A blogger might start by writing cheap articles for businesses, but take their talents to the next level by providing training or other services.

Online income does not just have to be a one time payment for services.  Internet income might be moved from the active role to the passive income stream.  Information products, membership websites and more can be the results of taking the first steps of learning how to earn income online.

The first steps have to be taken to learn something new.  The web is filled with information and business needs keep changing.  New tech advances require a change in the business.  Social media got popular and as a result companies needed to learn how to take advantage and leverage it.  This created the need for people ( consultants ) that could help guide the biz owners in the right direction.

Services and skills are constantly changing.  Take the time to examine the online landscape and find the opportunities to move forward with your business.  You might start by selling low cost services today, but there is no limit to where your business ventures can lead into the future. 

Internet Business - Take the first step

Internet business can be run from just about anywhere with an internet connection.  It is not far fetched to see people working inside of a coffee shop on their business.  They might be huddled together at a table with their laptops or sitting in a booth hammering away at their latest creations.

The mcdonalds free coffee or the starbucks seems to be like fuel for the internet business owner.  They might be programming the latest version of their software or app.  They might be finishing up the final touches on their first ebook or blog.  The internet and technology allows people to work and get things done without the concern for location.

Taking a break from pounding the keys on a laptop with peet's coffee and thinking about the next step for solving a problem is common.  Just about anybody can get in on this.  Cheap laptops can be picked up and people can get into the game.  

Sit down at the table and come up with concepts.  Turn on the coffee maker and start coming up with your business plan.  Not one of those big books of things that you want to do, but just a piece of paper that lays out the direction you want to go into.

Go to the coffee machine and pour a cup and start thinking.  What type of business do you want to create?  There are lots of online tools that can help you get started.   Lots of information online is free.

You could visit websites today to learn about programming languages.  You can download open source software and be programming in no time.  Learn the new languages like python. Learn how to program active server pages.  Design html.  Use blogging systems to get started.  What do you want to create?

If programming is not your thing, you could still create information products like ebooks.  Start by creating a document.  Write. Explore. Create.  Save it as a pdf file.  You now have a potential product.  

Starting a business and credit card debt

Starting a business from home without spending a lot of money is possible.  Getting started in a business using the internet and your talents is possible.

Not all business types are the same.  Internet business options might be lower cost than some other kinds of business.

Software businesses might only require your knowledge and a basic computer setup with an internet connection.   

A writing business might only require a cheap computer and your writing and marketing skills.

Blogging can be started without much up front spending.  You can get some blogging tools online for free.  Your writing talents and marketing experience are the basic tools for getting started.

Some types of business require a lot of spending up front.  Internet small business does not always have to follow that model.

You may have heard of some business owners launching their businesses with credit cards.  Going into debt to get the business off the ground can be risky.  

Some business owners like the use of credit for different reasons.  Some use credit cards for online protection.  Some like to use debit and credit cards for tracking payments.  Others might focus on earning cash back rewards or discounts for paying with credit cards.  

Businesses have some recurring costs.  Building up a good credit profile for your business is a good idea.  One thing that business owners want to avoid is running up too much credit card debt.  

Low cost internet business options provide a way to get into the world of business to learn the ropes.  A person could start with blogging and move on to bigger online business ventures.

A blog could lead to information products or software.  Software could lead to consulting and training.  

Start your first step into the business world.  If you are going to use credit in your business, make sure to use it wisely.  You don't want your business to fall victim to too much credit card debt.

Credit cards are not totally bad for business.  They can really be helpful.  An internet business owner might use credit to buy more equipment or make crucial purchases that can launch the business into high income.  It all depends on using credit for the right reasons.

Almost lost my 1tb western digital external backup drive

Backing up your work is something that they teach you in computer classes.  You just don't know when something can go wrong.  A backup drive or an online backup system should be a part of your home business operation.

Just yesterday, I was sitting down at the computer and I was ready to get up and go to the bathroom.  I didn't pay attention and one of the cords on my computer was gently around my foot.  I go up and moved towards the door and before I could look back, I heard something crash to the floor.  This has happened a couple of times before, but it was just a usb keyboard.  I was not so lucky this time.  I have one of those 1tb external hard drives that backup my information and it was on the floor.

The western digital 1tb backup looks like a thick book.  I quickly went back over to the computer to see if everything was okay.  The external hard drive had a slight opening at one of the corners.  I immediately noticed that the blue light that is usually one was off.  I really hoped that it would still work.  

I plugged it back into the computer, but it didn't light up.  I thought it might be really over, but then I checked the connection on the western digital external hard drive and it was not fully plugged in.  I pressed the connection in and the blue light turned on.

I went to the microsoft windows xp my computer setting to see if the drive was appearing in the list.  It was there.  The blue light on the 1tb black external hard drive from western digital was on and working.

I clicked to see if the data was still there and it was all good.  Backing up your information is really essential.  You also have to make sure that you are not doing things to complicate your backup strategy.  I had to move the wires out of the way.  This was totally my fault and I have made some adjustments.

Maybe it would be better to start thinking about online backup.  I just like having the external hard drives and the usb memory sticks.  I might even get one of those smaller western digital external hard drives ( mypassport ).  I picked this current hard drive up at one of those black friday sales.  I think I am going to pick up another backup drive this year ( just in case mr clumsy shows up again).

Write. Write. Write.

Writing articles from scratch for your online sites is simple.  Pick a topic and let it roll.  Write. Write. Write.

You could start by listing the keywords that you want to cover and then creating an outline.

This is simple and straight forward.  It is just like providing coloring lines from when you were a kid.

Think about any type of game and there are rules.  You setup the rules for writing your content and it can make your writing appear faster.

You might make an article by deciding to come up with 30 tips.  This would not be a hard article to write.  Just number the page and then start to add them one by one.

You could also make a story for your content.  Stories are so simple that anyone can make them.  Think about a current topic and how you want to weave it into your story.  Begin at the end and work your way back.  Simple.

Writing content does not have to be hard.  Some people might sit at the computer and have a hard time trying to come up with something to write about.  Don't just sit there.  Get up and do something else for a few minutes.  Download some plr articles and read them.  Read some articles on your favorite blog or website.  Listen to a song that you like.  You can do all kinds of stuff to start breaking the writing block.  Just start writing words on a page.  They don't have to be good, you just want to get the train rolling away from the station.

Write content about your goals.  Write content about the products that you like and don't like.  Write content and turn it into your own product.  Write and write some more.

Write content about your favorite type of class.  Write about your favorite speaker.  The content flow does not have to stop.  Write content about what you want to change.  Write articles about what you want to improve.

What if you really don't like typing?  It doesn't mean that you have to stop.  Get a tape recorder.  Use your smartphone and start talking your articles.  Pick up a video camera an record your articles.  Create, create and create some more.

Create articles for beginners.  Make articles for intermediate level followers.  Go super hard into the advanced level articles.  Make your articles super serious and make some fun articles that don't make much sense.  Your content flow is constantly on.  Use it.  

Home Business Systems

There are different ways of getting things done.  You can do them the haphazard way ( without a plan ) or with a plan. 

Creating a system

How do you lower the chances of missing a step in getting a task accomplished?  You write down all the steps and you do them one by one.  
Know what you want to take place.  Come  up with all the steps that get to the desired result and then do them.  

This is really helpful.  You can establish a process and the work can get done with different people.  

Requirements

You want a system or a process.  What do you want it to do?  You want to get more clients?  You want to get more prospects?  How are you currently getting them?  Where are they coming from?  Start taking notes of the things that you are doing and keep track of the results.  Do more of what works and less of what doesn't.

Design

Once you know what you want, you can start coming up with a design to get there.  If you want more clients, you might need to make more calls.  If you want more sales, you need more prospects.  Come up with the design ( plan ) for making this come true. 

Implementation

You have a design ( plan ).  It could be sitting right on your desk or sitting on the shelf.  It does no good there.  You have to put the plans ( designs ) into action. It might take some time to learn the new way of doing things.  There might be some bumps in the road.  Move forward and take action on the new plans.

Testing

Plans and designs might seem flawless when they are drawn up, but the implementation ( action phase ) will reveal the problems.  It happens all the time with new rollouts of products.  Something does not work properly.  A step is missed.  The plan does not work as initially conceived.  The initial action plan could be considered a test run.  A way to start getting the problems out of the system.  It is just like the warm ups before a basketball game.  It is like the scrimmage games in football.  These are the warm up games before the regular season starts.  

The system is now in operation.  You have a new way of doing things and you have started to make corrections on the items that went wrong.  The process starts over and over again with a new cycle of requirements and actions.

Start Writing Your Own Home Business Story

Write more and more content and don't stop writing.  You have a lot of different stories inside of your head.  It is time to put them to good use.  It is called being creative.  

Think of a character.  You can take a minute to get mental image.  What does the hair look like?  How tall is the person?  What do they look like?  These are just a couple of questions to get your started.

Think about a big problem.  How does this fit with the story line?  It is about conflict and resolution.  

Start at the end.  What do you want to happen? You might have the character standing in a Mercedes Benz showroom.  The image might be of the person sitting in the back set with the tinted windows rolled up, but they are slowly being rolling down.

The character has a pair of sunglasses on.  Who is this person?  The character might be the ceo of a business.  Is the business a real estate business or a technology business?  

The tech business ceo has a driver.  The driver starts the engine on the Mercedes S550 and begins to pull off from the Mercedes Benz lot.  The tech ceo in the back seat opens up a macbook pro and places a bluetooth headset into his ear.  The laptop computer screen goes blank for a second and then the web browser appears.  It is the homepage of the tech ceo website.

Start writing your own story.  Create your own business.

Start Your Blogging Today

Get a blogger blog and start blogging.  You can come up with your own brand of content and keep the ball rolling.  Content is something that is unique to you.  You have your own opinions and thoughts that can be shared with a blog.  Don't think that a blog is just focused on your text.  You can also take your blogging to another level with images and audio.

You don't have to spend a lot of money to get into blogging.  The free blogger sites are simple to join and start.  Just come up with a blog name and your ideas.

Make a schedule and post your blogs on the regular.  Just like a magazine or a daily newspaper.  Think about some of your blog topics ahead of time and finish them when you are on a roll.

You might want to post 5 times per week or just one time per week.  It all depends on how you want to run your blog.  

You could also have a set number of posts that you want to do during the month and then schedule those to make sure that you meet your blogging minimum.  After all your required articles are in the blogging queue, you can then post as many extra posts as you like without missing a publishing schedule.

Blogs can help you build your writing skills and other talents.  Don't get too pushed out of shape if your blog doesn't get a whole lot of traffic to start.  You have to remember that there are lots of blogs and they are really easy to start.  The competition for blogs is really high.  

If you ever run into trouble coming up with new blog topics, you can use plr articles to help you get over it.  These are articles written by other writers.  It always helps to have some extra content to help avoid looking at a blank computer screen.  

You are an unlimited content maker with your blog.  Come up with your ideas and post them online for the global marketplace. 

Blogs are good for more than just expressing yourself.  There are lots of people online that like reading blogs.  You might write content that gets a response from your audience.  This is called blog commenting.  This is what makes blogging special.  The old newspapers would publish information and the readers didn't really have a way to chime in. With blogging, after you post an article, your readers can share what they think.  

So don't waste another second.  Start your blogging today.

Matching Products with Prospects

Bringing the right products to the right audience is essential.  You don't want to bring the wrong products to the wrong audience.  

Start taking a harder look at your niche.  Who is in the niche?  What is selling?  What is missing?  What kinds of products are available?  Now, you have to become the ultimate matchmaker. You have to find the best way to get the right message in front of the right crowd.

Some like to build up lists of prospects.  Others might just head over to the big social media network and buy the traffic.  There are lots of different advertising vehicles that can be used to get in front of audiences.

Affiliate networks are filled up with offers.  You can join lots of them, but you will really need to figure out the best way to promote the products to the right prospects.

Bring Your Niche Content in Entertaining and Informative Formats

Developing niche content for online sites requires a little bit of planning.  You don't have to make all of your niche content boring, you can really instead use stories to help create it.

Stories are a simple way of explaining topics and adding more images and entertainment.  What do you really want to bring across in your niche topic?  Start with the end in mind.  Just like the stories that you wrote back in grade school.

You want to tell a story about a successful home business.  What does it look like at the end?  The internet home biz owner has made lots of money.  The internet entrepreneur is driving in a big mercedes benz s500 and pulling up to a multimillion dollar mansion.  The biz owner is hopping out of the car and running to open the door.  The apple iphone 5 is next to his mouth and he is shouting into the speaker phone.

This little scene creates some imagery that is hard to not pay attention to.  What is going on in the story?  You know that the internet biz owner has money and he is in a heated rush. 

The story can continue.  The content could reveal that the internet biz owner was driving down the highway and got a message that the main income producing website in the portfolio went down.  The sales stopped coming in and it was causing a big problem.  

The niche content story line could break into different story lines from there.  It might be revealed that the internet biz owner that was making big web money made a big mistake.  The guy forgot to do something that is really simple and basic.  He did what happens to a lot of home business owners, he forgot to pay for his annual domain name service.  The site was down because he missed the email saying that the annual fee was due.  

Niche content can be created using your creativity.  It doesn't not all have to be boring and dry.  You can come up with clever ways to deliver the information that is vital to your niche.  A simple story could lead to an online series.  It could be entertaining as well as informative.

The employee completes assigned tasks.  The owner has to do the extra task of designing, planning and executing.

Are you ready to step outside of the employee role to earn money?  Most people are afraid to try to earn money from an entrepreneurial lane.  Business owners have to be ready to deal with hearing no and be able to keep moving forward after failure.

Biz owners have to build up skills and adjust to changing market conditions.  Employees are really shielded from the real business market.  Management and leadership has to find out what is changing and adapt.  

Regular people are experiencing business transactions everyday.  They just don't see themselves as business owners.  Every time that they go to the gas station, they are reacting to price changes.  Sometimes the price of gas is going up and other times the price is going down.  When they are shopping at the grocery store, they are paying different prices for items.  The regular person is budgeting and spending money.  They are paying bills all the time.  The business owner is doing the same thing, but they are operating from a different side of the table.

Biz owners are buying items that make more money.  They are buying equipment instead of buying items for fun and entertainment.  Owners are looking at ways of increasing value.  They are looking at customer demand and finding a way to fill it.  

Are you ready to put on the hat of the owner?

Sky Diving and Your Home Business

Have you ever seen people going up in airplanes and then jumping?  This is called skydiving.  I personally think that those people are crazy.   What does skydiving have to do with business?  The people that skydive put fear to the side and do something that they want to do.  Are you sitting on the sidelines or are you brave enough to jump into your own business?

Getting started is a big part of the problem.

There is someone with a great idea right now.

They know exactly what they want to do.

There is just one big problem.

They never get started.

They sit on the sidelines.

They don't make up their minds to start.

This happens all the time.

There are some things that just scare people.

Remember the time when you were scared to ride your bike.

Remember the time when you were scared to speak up in class.

Remember the time when you were scared to do something.

At some point, you reached a point where you made up your mind.

You took action.

You might have failed, but you wanted to success so bad that you didn't stop.

Your home business is just one more task that will require some courage and taking action.

I am still not going Skydiving.
