Good Afternoon.
Letting Home business, and work from home friends in on a weekend conversation.
I was speaking with a friend this weekend and a topic came up that sometimes does. STUCK In A RUT?
I always think of the book " Who moved my cheese"? I don't remember the author right of hand but the book presents a priceless lesson in a practical way. If this post resonates with you Google the title, buy the book, and read it.
When I think of the book or the lesson therein as it pertains to home based business or business in general for that matter I think of marketing. I spend a considerable amount of time marketing the services and product that I offer in my home based business.
The reason I do this is because it seem that when I launch something new I'm often pleased with its performance however in time it seems to wane a bit. Probably because of the daily habits of the audience I'm exposing the marketing to or perhaps the people who were interested in what I am offering have already taken the action they intended to.
I realize I'm leaving out a bunch of technical terms here but the bottom line is this: Always be learning and developing something new. Whether it be a different perspective or a different target. Choose a new language or think of some area that you haven't previously thought of before.
Also when marketing, Know what you can afford. It is said that many people spend their way right out of a home business. People get excited all of sudden they are consumed with this youthful hope and the dream now LIVES.
Business decisions are just that. Calculated strategic decisions that take you from point A to Point B. Save the dream feed it and fan it. Do this to inspire and motivate your self inside the frame work or you budget and business system. Follow systems that are proven to work.
Continue to use your creativity to discover new and exciting ways to market inside your business system and your personal budget. When transitioning into a full time home business you should find some extra revenue from deciding to work at home. When you work from home expenses like gasoline, lunches, car maintenance, phone bills and thing of that nature should be reduced.
As for ruts, I don't know, are they resting spots, are they boredom, are they the result of needed growth or a different opportunity. Remember human beings resist change. That includes you. Jim Rohn says " show me a 3 year period in you life where there was no significant change" you can't. He goes on to say " So if you know there is going to be change why not pick the ones you want". Cool huh?
Anyway until next time, be a shaker and a mover Live Big Live Free. Start a home based business, work from home, work to live don't live to work.
