Secrets To Marketing Succcess For Your Home Based Business


As I attend training calls with other leaders in my business, I realized that we can go on information overload.

I want to discern the difference between what one over the other of 2 or 3 successful leaders are sharing. For example, one uses a more expensive website provider than the one many of us uses because they offer more hands on service. This guy's approach to google is diametrically opposed to another.

I believe that the way to feel competent at anything is to take ownership of it and do it. I use the familiar provider for www.JoyfulWealth.com, but changed up the content, so it is not a replica of the others. If you’re brand new, you can get started with a free replicated site until you have more of your own story. I’m looking forward to learning how to easily make multiple sites of my own with slight variations.

I also do not believe in re-inventing the wheel. Where it works to use what others have done for us, I’m using it. I love the autoresponders in my lead manager that were developed by the top income earner of my business. They’re effective and keep people in the loop.

We do not have to be marketing geniuses to be successful in this business. We each have to choose a few things that bring us targeted people to talk with about our business. All it takes is one person to make a sale.

Do not allow yourself to get frozen or decide this is hard. Affirm that this is a simple business and you have all the resources right now to be successful. If these tools support you to go to another level of grace and ease generating leads and having fun, then go for it.

There Are No True Secrets To Success, Except...

Wow--I started a couple of different blogs, in a desire to just take action and reach out in this new (for me) way.

And now, years later, a prospect for my home business said she found my blog. That old seed that I planted made a difference.

I had to do some digging, but I found this blog of mine and now I'm looking forward to connecting it up with all my other resources and making it more and more relevant. So, the Secret to Success...

...is to take action, consistently, persistently, follow your vision.

and yes, of course, I'm still in the same fabulous home based business I started in 2005--I'm here to stay, still traveling the world with my family, making a ton of money.

Welcome back,

What You Need To Look For In Business-From Australia

Hi Everyone--

I apologize for interrupting the tips I was giving for starting a business.

I'm in Australia, driving up the coast from Sydney with my sister before attending a fabulous conference 6/25 in Sydney.

It's winter here, so we're seeing Australian summer vacation spots in the middle of their winter. We're getting a flavor of local hospitality and having fun driving on the "wrong" side of the road, with all the car signals backwards.

We're noticing the adventure and laughing our way as we take time to savor our time together and reflect on the magnificence of being able to vacation tax deductible (since our conference requires us to be here) and stretch our comfort zones.

In any business to be successful, we will have to stretch beyond the known in order to tap into the possibilities that 90% of the population wouldn't even consider.

It's good practice to do everything opposite from the habit. I have to be conscious to turn on the windshield wipers, rather than the turn signals and vice versa.

It's good practice to take time to enjoy our "brekkie" (breakfast), while planning out day's adventure (and getting half as far as we plan).

It's good practice to love, laugh and soak in the gratitude for the amazing blessings we have. Our first day we looked up when we heard birds singing and saw Larakeets, birds that looked like parrots with red beaks, blue heads, orange, green, yellow and red bodies. Wow. The next day we looked up hearing birds that sounded like babies crying--they were magpies.

Until next time, Sharon

What Are The Secrets For Starting A Business Successfully?

Hi Everyone--

So, you'd love to get out of your J.O.B. (Just Over Broke).
You'd love to be your own boss.

You'd love to be able to create serious wealth to do what you want when you want to, but you don't have huge start-up capital for a franchise, or really know how to go about it.

So, you click on different opportunities and get more discouraged every day, not knowing what to look for.

Any of that sound familiar? Let's open up a discussion in this blog and I'll share with you what I've gleaned from successfully helping build a company on Wall St. from $3 million to $17 billion--and literally nearly dying from the stress.

I also had a successful small private counseling practice--not much money, but more of a life.

Oh, yeah. I also did the MLM thing. So I have learned from big business, small business, and non-business that left me up to my eyeballs in debt, until I found the right business model I'll share here.


1. What are the facts you need to know about Home Based Businesses?

2. What are the kinds of questions you need to ask yourself so you can make an informed decision about your next steps?

3. What are the best kinds of products or services to offer people and why?

4. Does your company have a marketing system that will help you?

5. Will you be mentored and by whom?

6. What is the "Funnel System: to create massive wealth, with the least effort?

7. What will make you be one of the successful leaders?

I'll try to continue this discussion regularly, but I must admit, I fit business around my life now, rather than the old other way around.

I'm leaving for Australia on Saturday for the trip of a lifetime with my sister. If I can post here, I may be talking more about my trip.

That's #1--you want a business model that allows you to have life, so if you want partners, they'll be attracted to joining you.

Welcome to Secret Ideas For Starting A Business Successfully

If you've ever thought about starting a business from home and wondered how to choose one, what it takes to be successful, you're in the right place.

I offer this in a spirit of gratitude for the life I have right now: If I can assist one person to get where they want to go sooner, then I've succeeded here.

The good news is that its much simpler and more lucrative than I thought. Of course it does take real work, but not hard work and not 100 hour work weeks.

This can save you 100's of hours and 1,000's of dollars in researh, products and programs that don't deliver--time and money I have already spent doing the research for you the hard way.

Be sure to visit this site often for business ideas and marketing strategies, as well as mental tips to assist you.
