Turn Wishes And Hopes Into Action By Eliminating Excuses
Every day should be viewed as a new beginning. Most of us
have dreams and wishes but few of us do anything to turn them into reality. We
wish that we could get out of debt and we dream of being millionaires.
Unfortunately, we have far too many excuses that prevent us from living
debt-free and earning a seven figure income.
Dani Johnson, Secret Millionaire television show
star, recently revealed why we have excuses, or what she refers to as
“well-planned lies.” At one of her training events, she explained that we have
excuses because we can afford to have them. Common sense tells us that we
cannot create desirable results without taking the right actions. However, we
continue to make excuses to prevent ourselves from taking any action.
Some people offer every excuse under the sun regarding their
lack of effort toward goal achievement. They are too busy, cannot afford it,
and on and on. If they realized that they do need to reinvent the wheel to
achieve their goals, their excuses would fall by the wayside. All they must do
is follow in the footsteps of a mentor.
People like Dani are looking for others to follow their
lead. They would love to teach others what they have learned because there is
enough success to go around. However, they are not willing to listen to
excuses. They will spend as much time as necessary teaching others but they
expect their students to follow through.
People who are serious about achieving success see this
opportunity for what it really is: the chance of a lifetime. They absorb the
information like sponges and go out into the world to make their mark. Excuses
become bad words to them because there is too much to achieve in life and they
want to do it all.

Self Esteem Vs. Self Confidence And Their Roles In Business
Self esteem and self confidence are not the same thing and
therefore, hold different value. We develop self esteem when others tell us how
wonderful, attractive, and smart we are. Though self esteem is a good thing to
have, it is no substitute for self confidence, which is developed through
self-improvement and overcoming obstacles.
People who are confident in themselves know that they are
talented and smart because they have proven it to themselves. We tend to place
higher value on self confidence because it is something we earned rather than
something another person provided to us. Boosts to self esteem can help to
reinforce self confidence. On the other hand, someone who is self confident is
less likely to internalize external observations that are detrimental to self
esteem.
Both self esteem and self confidence play a role in
business. No one should embark on a business venture without a decent level of
self confidence. If customers complain or other things erode self esteem, the
entrepreneur will have the self confidence to persevere. Entrepreneurs with low
levels of self confidence are much more likely to throw in the towel.
Self confident business owners who endure the tough times
will eventually increase their self esteem when customers once again provide
glowing testimonials. The importance of the level of self confidence should not
be underestimated. It can mean the difference between earning minimum wage and
developing a business that generates a six figure income.
It takes much less to destroy self esteem than it does to
erode self confidence. However, self confidence is typically much more
difficult to rebuild. It can take years for people to develop the self
confidence they had before entering an abusive relationship. Getting self
confidence to an acceptable level before undertaking a business venture
contributes to a successful outcome.

Jeff Usner Millionaire Secret For Success
Jeff Usner has made millions of dollars online…how did he do
it? He is an average person with average computer skills and a knack for
business. Talking to him, you would never guess he is a millionaire. How did he
turn his entrepreneurial tendencies into business ventures that continue to
earn him money? He recently revealed his secret to success in a video posted on
his website.
Jeff recorded this video on his way home from work one day.
In it, he explains that he has been shooting a professional video for his
businesses. During the three takes it took to get the video right, Jeff had a
motivational thought. In business, taking action is more important than getting
things perfect before launch.
Many people think too much about something but never take
action. When it comes to business, this
can be a nail in the coffin of a great idea. Acting on an idea is a better
approach, even if tweaking or redoing things is necessary. Successful
entrepreneurs take action and keep moving forward, regardless of the outcome.
This is what sets them apart from their competition.
Jeff says that focusing on one thing and taking major action
to get it moving differentiates an entrepreneur from 99 percent of other people.
Until you put things into action, you cannot truly determine what does and does
not work. Once things are rolling, you can make adjustments to increase the
chance of the desired outcome.
The Jeff Usner millionaire secret to success is really no secret at all. It is common
sense logic that far too few businesspeople use. Taking things from the idea
phase to the action phase is the first step on the path to success. Hard work,
dedication, good judgment, and strong decision making skills will keep the
journey short and minimize setbacks.

Relationships Are The Key To Lucrative Income Over The Long Haul
Almost anyone can convince someone to make a purchase one
time. However, it takes skill to keep customers coming back over the years.
Taking the time to develop this skill is worth it if you want to have the best home based business. Relationship
building is what enables home entrepreneurs to earn six or seven figure incomes
year after year.
Being genuine and having integrity are important in this
regard. If customers do not trust you, they will not establish a relationship
with you. Trust begins with the initial encounter, so entrepreneurs must be
approachable. Customers must feel comfortable enough to ask questions and they
must be confident that your answers are accurate. They must believe that you
believe in what you are offering.
Authenticity is necessary to develop friends and clients. On
a long-term basis, good people generally do not enjoy being around others who
are “fake.” They quickly see through this façade and realize they could have a
more fulfilling relationship elsewhere. This is as true in business as it is in
personal relationships so entrepreneurs should be their true selves at all
times.
Using testimonials or statistics in place of interactions
will only go so far. Actions speak louder than words, so developing supportive
and mutually beneficially relationships will speak volumes with customers. By
developing a sales transaction into a relationship, entrepreneurs make
customers want to continue coming back.
Look at the business role models of today and you will
realize that most of them exhibit the qualities mentioned. These are the folks
that are successful regardless of economic conditions. Customers would be
hard-pressed to stop dealing with these individuals because they receive much
more than a product or service from the interaction. They receive intangible
value that can only be provided by this type of relationship.

Make Social Media A Priority
Social media is critical for any legitimate home business because it connects with a global
audience. Entrepreneurs should spend about 30 minutes per day on social media
interactions. By providing fresh content daily, they encourage fans and
followers to check in for more. Any home business owner can create good social
media content by following some simple guidelines.
New customers and prospects may not be aware of complete
details regarding a product or service. Taking the time to provide these can
pay off in the end. Every two or three days, use social media to explain one
product or service in detail. This allows your audience to gain a greater
understanding of your company and what it offers.
Visual marketing has become a very effective way to share
messages and content. People are visual beings and they want to view creative
things that are as attractive as they are useful. Use pictures and images to
promote the business and its offerings on social media sites. Post photographs
featuring real people using your products or services. Present a new item with
video and tell the story of your company with images.
Get customer permission to share positive feedback on social
media sites. This adds credibility to your brand and may encourage other
customers to provide kudos. Within a short time, you may have enough content to
create a testimonial page on your website and in printed marketing collateral.
Along the vein of sharing, forward relevant content from others and share
general inspirational stories or quotes.
If newly proposed or enacted legislation could affect your
business, share this information on social media sites. Provide details about
the impact on your company and its offerings and encourage followers to discuss
the issue without becoming too heated. Respond to their comments to develop
relationships and keep the conversation going.

Making Your Website Landing Page A Winner
If
you have a home based business, it will be difficult to create six figure income without a website. After securing a
website host and setting up an account, it is time to develop site content. The
landing page is arguably the most important page of a website. If visitors do
not like what they see on this page, they will not delve any deeper into the site,
resulting in a lost opportunity.
There
are several things you can do to make your website landing page effective. If
visitors were directed to this page from printed marketing collateral or
another site, the page headline should refer to this. Content should mirror the
language used on the referring piece or site. This makes the transition smooth
and logical, helping to ensure that prospects follow the process through to
becoming customers.
The
landing page should also feature several calls to action. Experts recommend at
least two for a landing page that contains two or three paragraphs and between
three and five for a longer page. Instead of using plain text as the call to
action, site owners should insert a clickable button featuring an eye-catching
graphic and enticing words.
Page
content is also important because it keeps visitors engaged. Content should be
simple and focused so customers understand the message and its goal. It should
include benefits of using the offered and address and overcome possible
objections raised by a prospect. Sticking to the point and providing an easy
path to ordering are most effective.
The
page should be concise and attractive, not long and boring. Site owners should
include several relevant images, use font that is easy to read, and leave some
white space so the page does not appear overwhelming. Following these tips will
have visitors moving past the landing page on their way to making a purchase.
