Home Internet businesses need the edge

Hi welcome back, glad you found the Blog interesting enough to come back, if you subscribed to my RSS that way you will get told when I post straight away. Andrew Peel

One of the most interesting questions often asked of home Internet businesses is, ‘Why are some business owners successful?’ A book that seeks to answer this question from a unique perspective is Jeff Olsen’s, The Slight Edge.

From the outset Olsen explains the book approaches the subject of success from the point of view of, ‘your philosophy of life’. This is because your philosophy or ‘outlook’ on life is what drives your attitude to life.

So in work from home careers the fundamental Slight Edge philosophy is that you can achieve success by doing small things positive things on a daily basis. You may be saying, ‘if it’s that simple why does anyone fail?’

That is the basic question the book seeks to address. Olsen provides the basis of his argument in the introduction. He says success and all the ways to earn extra money are available to anyone and are disconnected from level of intelligence or station in life.

It is linked to your general outlook on life. If you see a problem and think you will keep, ‘at it’, until you solve the problem you are more likely to be a success. If you see a problem and think you will, ‘give it a go’, you are less likely to succeed.

More on how why changing your life’s philosophy will give you an edge tomorrow.

Home Internet businesses and character

In this short series on Leadership in home Internet businesses using Wess Roberts Leadership Secrets of Attila The Hun as inspiration today I am looking at the character traits of a valuable Leader.

Work from home careers mean you are both your own Leader (of your business) and a network of business associates you create in order to be successful. The more successful your network is the more leverage you have to earn extra income.

Wess Roberts suggests the following as key character traits:

  • The greatness of a Leader can be seen in the sacrifices they are prepared to make for their team
  • Good Leaders are self-reliant, self-confident and even if they occasionally loose they know they have done their best
  • Leaders are often of normal intelligence however they have a need to win, absolute belief that the service they offer is of value and the ability to persist in the face of all obstacles
  • Leaders never take themselves too seriously
  • Wise Leaders always adapt and never compromise
  • Strong Leaders surround themselves with strong team members
  • Leaders learn early that working through hardships gives then the experience needed to help them the rest of their careers
  • Successful Leaders learn to face difficulties and conquer mistakes

Work from home careers Leaders need to take advice

Leaders in work from home careers such as direct sales need to know how to seek and use advice. Home Internet businesses by their nature can allow someone to become isolated. As a new Leader it is vital you know where to go for advice. Some of this should be via 24/7 access to online training if you choose your business opportunity wisely.

Next your Sponsor should also act as a source of advice, a note of caution here, use your Sponsor wisely. They are in business themselves and they will expect you to obtain advice which is easily available via the Internet yourself. So reserve your Sponsor for ‘weighty’ issues where you really need one to one contact.

Virtual mentors are quite easy to come by on places like YouTube where very experienced direct sales marketers freely give valuable advice. Simply subscribe to their channels for regular updates on their video updates. Blogs work in a similar manner and you can easily find Blogs about any topic using Google’s Blog Search. Joining free direct sales related social networks such as Betternetworker (click on the image at the left hand side below to visit their site) also provides a good source of advice.

Wess Roberts in Leadership Secrets of Attila The Hun has the following general principles about Leadership and advice:

  • A Leader who has a team that always agrees with them will only ever be given mediocre advice
  • A wise Leader never ignores the person who gives bad news but rather ignores the person who fails to give them bad news
  • A sensible Leader never asks questions where they will ignore the answer
  • A Leader who asks the wrong the questions will always hear the wrong answers

Can home Internet businesses really be successful?

A question I am faced with time and again is, ‘Are most home Internet businesses just a get rich quick scheme?’ My answer now is, if you want a get rich quick scheme you have come to the wrong place.

To be successful in home internet businesses you must treat them like work from home careers. They are one of the best ways of earning extra money via the Internet that I know of, and I have tried a few. However it is a business that you must build.

The key to being successful is simple but takes persistence; you have to be prepared to give in order to receive.

In all likelihood you will be like me, I was new to the home Internet business market and realized Internet marketing is made up of a whole set of skills mainly around communication that I would have to learn.

Your focus needs to be on:

  • Developing a unique voice, that makes you stand out from people. Its why for example one of two car dealers who both sell Ford cars is more successful than the other. The more successful one is doing something unique that more people like
  • You must have a marketing plan. This means deciding how much you are going to spend per month, what you are going to spend it on and how you are going to test your results?
  • Picking the right type of compensation plan for you. If you want to earn top commissions you will need to join a top tier opportunity. This means a system that works 24/7, 365 days a year, has a real product and decent commissions where you get paid first.

Home Internet Businesses Thrive on Morale

Attila the Hun is the inspiration for this week’s posts on Leadership in home internet businesses . He emphasized to his Chieftains (Leaders) the importance of motivation and discipline. Discipline is definitely something I thought would be outside my work from home career . However Wess Roberts the author of the book explains that maintaining morale and discipline is key to being a good Leader. His definitions of what constitute discipline intrigue me more so than those on motivation which I was familiar with.

These are the key things to consider about motivation and discipline in a direct sales team:

  • Morale and discipline are central to the unity of the team
  • The best test of morale is how well the team members bear up under difficult tasks
  • Discipline is about teaching the correct way to do something as opposed to suppression
  • Morale is the extent to which a team member will submit to the good of the team
  • Leaders must work hard to establish and maintain morale and discipline
  • Discipline allows for individuality
  • Morale is based on pride in being a team member, discipline brings about morale
  • Leaders plan for morale and discipline, they cause it to happen
  • Team members are more likely to follow a Leader who is disciplined
  • Lack of morale and discipline will spread like wildfire if you allow it to
  • Morale and discipline are mainly what a Leader makes of it
  • Good Leaders allow team members to test their discipline by setting tough goals
  • Discipline should be set at a level appropriate to the type of business opportunity

Work from home careers are they really possible?

You may have come to my Blog asking yourself, ‘Are work from home careers really possible? The word ‘career’ to a lot of people implies a job where you are employed by an employer and make your way up the ‘corporate ladder’.

Let’s stop and think for a minute, ‘career’ can also mean your chosen profession. The top people in home Internet businesses have described themselves as, ‘psychologically unemployable’. Which is different from saying they have no career. It’s similar to a Dentist, they can work in a hospital or they can set up on their own, they both still have a career. It’s just that one wants to be their own boss, you could say the best of both worlds; a career and being their own boss.

The same is true of direct sales. Many people like me look at ways to earn extra money; I then realized that other people are making a full time living doing the same thing. So the aim is to move from the day job to real financial freedom and work for myself. To do this I need to learn new skills and gain experience which is what I am doing at present.

So in the same way that any career worth doing takes time to learn the same is true with direct sales. If you are looking for a get rich quick scheme then this is definitely not it. If you want a realistic business opportunity that you own, will be rewarded for the effort you put in, then there is every reason to consider a career in direct sales.

What values do you pass to your business partners?

This week I am looking at Leadership in home internet businesses and using the business book, Leadership Secrets of Attila The Hun by Wess Roberts as my inspiration. Today I want to talk about the part ‘values’ play in being a Leader.

Shared values are what hold a team together and the Leader in work at home careers is the one who can impart their team with a set of shared values. Having shared values is different from always agreeing. Shared values are the agreed ways of doing thing that being a team member you sign up to. If someone is unable to sign up to the shared values then they may become disruptive to the team, so it is essential to understand such team members feelings and then agree with them their future. An ineffective team will affect everybody’s ability to earn extra income which means you must prevent one person from jeopardizing the good of the team.

So what types of values did the Huns hold when ruled by Attila that could be translated into worthwhile values for you as a Leader to impart to your team?

  • Anyone is capable of being a Leader no matter what their background
  • Even though you are in competition with other business opportunities behave ethically at all times
  • Differences and diversities when pooled to the common good make for a stronger team
  • The team should stick to it’s values and not water them down for short term gain
  • Pride in the team’s achievements is morale building, yet be on your guard against false pride

So as can be seen the Huns had values that are inclusive which is why they were so successful under Attila. He was prepared to accept anyone into the Huns provided they adopted their values. He encouraged his Leaders to do away with preconceived ideas about who could and could not be team member or a Leader for that matter.

Home internet businesses need more Leaders like Attila the Hun

So you are looking at home internet businesses because you want a way to earn extra money. What many people fail to realise is the top tier opportunities will make you a Leader. By ‘make’ I mean you will be seen as one by the people you recruit whether you view yourself as a Leader or not.

I believe that great Leaders are made and not born. So the good news is that in work from home careers you can make yourself a great Leader. Wess Roberts in his business book classic, The Leadership Secrets of Attila the Hun explains the principles he believes great Leaders need to live by. Wess is a genius at using a real historical figure and real facts known about him and spinning them into today’s world for us to use.

Attila the Hun is a much misunderstood ruler principally because he came so close to ruling large parts of Western Europe. The Romans viewed him as a barbarian. Actually he was less barbaric than the Romans who threw Christians to the lions; he was also far less cruel than Ivan the Terrible, Cortes or Pizzaro.

The most fundamental principle about being a Leader according to Attila is; ‘you have got to want to be a Leader to become a Leader’. If you simply accept being a Leader you will fail and your business partners will leave your team. There are some key pointers to add to this principle:

  • Avoid letting your wish to be a Leader turn into over eagerness. You have to prepare, gain experience and wait for the right opportunity
  • Your success as a Leader is based willingness to do hard work
  • You have to persevere in the face of many challenges
  • You have to apply massive common sense to solving complex problems
  • You have to be prepared to make thankless, unrecognized sacrifices for the team
  • You have to be willing to learn, listen and grow
  • You have to be willing to remain your natural self
  • You have be willing to accept you have flaws and learn to improve

Work from home careers need to be as happy as possible

People who enter work from home careers quite often do so because they are unhappy with their lifestyle. This can be for a many reasons quite often because they are fed up working in a, ‘job’. On the other hand it could be they want to improve their lifestyle looking for ways to earn extra money.

I am now reading, How to Win Friends and Influence People, Dale Carnegie’s classic book and seeing how its values relate to home internet businesses. It may be that you thought about the idea of starting a business and it seems a lot of work that may detract from things you like doing in your free time.

The fact is that starting a business will eat into what you used to think of free time. However all the great writers on success agree on one thing. To become a success takes hard work because there are a lot of new things to learn. Some of these things you may really enjoy, some you may not. Guess which ones you will focus on? Yes the ones you enjoy. Yet the other ones may actually be more important.

Carnegie’s advice is to make these ‘other’ tasks as enjoyable as possible by realizing the benefits of the tasks. You can also make the tasks enjoyable by giving yourself some kind of reward when you have done a good job. In other words make your home internet business life as happy as possible, and you will succeed.
