So, you do not want to quit your job; you want to start working from home on the computer to get all the IRS HBB tax credits as an IMMEDIATE raise at your JOB… But where do you start?

1. The biggest obstacle – YOU!

Yes, you read correctly – it’s YOU! Now that you are your own boss, the only attitude you can control is your own. You have to project a positive attitude whether you are face to face, on the telephone or on the computer, people can feel your moods, even over the phone or from your writing.

Whether you want to work your home business part-time or full-time, do not work it just occasionally. If you treat your new business as a hobby, you will be paid like a hobby and frankly, I have not seen a hobby that pays you well enough… BE CONSISTENT AND PERSISTENT!

2. GET RID of ALL negative people!

You have two options when it comes to people. They can either follow you or get out of your way!

Negative Time VAMPIRES will put you out of business! Look for people who want to change. Low hanging ripe fruit is easy to harvest, be a professional SORTER.

Those that SORT the FASTEST WIN the BIGGEST! You can’t afford to deal with whiners!

3. So now you do not have to get up in the morning…

After all, you are your own boss… Whether you work a regular 9-5 job or work from home, it is important that you manage your time. Have a daily planner and mark the time you will work, eat, read (yes, educate yourself continually)! have fun, sleep, etc. This will be your ideal workday. The best time to work leads are Monday through Thursday 12 noon til 2 PM; and 6 PM til 8:30 PM. Take marketing in those time slots seriously. Use other time slots to get 10% learning and 10% administrative duties accomplished.

Make sure that you find a healthy balance between all your activities. Don’t forget your family, they’re very important too… reserve and schedule time to spend with your loved ones or they will not support your business!

Hold yourself accountable each week, if you want to count on retiring quickly.

4. Back to time management… it’s double important!

I have found that successful people who work from home have deadlines, do not have time to talk for hours on the phone with friends, and above all, are more productive. If you find yourself saying “I do not have time” ask yourself how many hours you watch TV… or do other wasteful activities?

5. This tip is especially for women and housemen!

Explain to your children what you are doing. Make arrangements with them so you’re not constantly interrupted. Maybe you have to hire a baby-sitter?

After all, when you worked a regular job, isn’t this what you had to do? I know a mother who involves her school age children and then pays them a percentage of her revenue.

It’s a great idea to awake that entrepreneurial spirit!

6. With the FOL team, you have found a portfolio of companies whose mission gets you excited!

Whether you market a product or a service, look carefully at the company’s mission. What is their track record? Do they alter their mission or bounce your commissions around with quotas and breakage and charge backs, only to take the money and run…? Do your homework! Knowledge will EMPOWER your enthusiasm!

7. You’ve chosen a team that offers great training…

Forever your unfair advantage is to use our training resources on this website and others recommended for the business you’re building. Look at it from your point of view: If you could design the perfect business, what features would it have?

Then look at our businesses… even if it’s good now, it’s your own future efforts that will cause it to become GREAT!! Conceive your CORE DESIRE and BELIEVE IT!

8. So now, sit back and get rich quick on the Internet…

WRONG! Remember, even the best companies with the best products aren’t worth anything without people. Learn what it is that people want and then share the benefits of your product or service.

It is the *benefits* that you market not the products or services. “Sell the sizzle not the steak”.

REMEMBER, DISCIPLINE LEADS TO SUCCESS!

ENTHUSIASM ALWAYS COMES FROM DOING WHAT YOU LOVE!
