I wondered why everyone in the room (there was about 120 of us), why each and every one is not able to quite there job and work the business full time. Now, I know that it is not practical for most people to do so, and I actually don’t recommend it for most people right out of the gates. But there seems to be a key difference between those who will go home and BUILD the business and those who won’t.
Let’s talk about the majority of people first – those who WILL NOT actually go home and build the business. Now, half the battle is to SHOW UP to the presentation, the training, the seminar... so it’s great to see many people were there.

But people seem to be bottled up with fear. Fear of approaching, fear of success, fear of rejection...

The concern I have with this is that if people are serious about building a home based business that will set them free, they HAVE TO FACE their fears... head on. I didn’t know that this business DEMANDS PERSONAL GROWTH when I first got started. But that is what it’s about.

You see, we are our own worst enemy. We create the fear, the distractions, the procrastination etc. But if YOU ARE SERIOUS ABOUT YOUR DREAMS, you will take a good look at yourself and ask, are you the type of leader that others will want to join? If not, understand your fears and insecurities and work on them!

This home based business industry can offer you the world. But you have to be able to GET OVER YOURSELF and push through your fears. Easier said than done isn’t it.

Well, let me share with you what I believe to be the key to building a home based business.

The Key ingredient is your DESIRE to achieve success. Does that sound a bit airy to you? Well, it’s true. That’s why most companies will get you to figure out your ‘why’, you know, why is it that you want to build a home based business. What’s really in it for you?

So every time you have that little voice inside of your head question whether you can do this or not, tell yourself that your DESIRE TO SUCEED is greater than your fear.

Building a home based business is not easy, if it were everyone would be doing it. But one of the main reasons this business is not ‘easy’ is because of the state of mind that we enter the business with. It took me a couple years to build my business with confidence. A big part of that was because I was not aware of what it would take to build this business. I didn’t realize that it was me that I had to work on, not others.

I had the vision of how my lifestyle would be like when I get there – working a home based business full time. And I’m stubborn as hell; nobody could take that vision away.

I want to be a bit more concrete then just saying you have to figure out your fears because that’s just a part of the equation. You have to DEVELOPE YOUR SKILLS to succeed in this business. You have to be a student of this business. So figure out what area you are weak in and buy the books, listen to the audios; do whatever it takes to get exposed to the right information and practice like any other professional in any other field would.

There are a countless number of materials out there and I will share those with you over time. So get serious with yourself and realize what is at stake here. It’s those things that you desire... are they worth getting uncomfortable?

When you are building a home based business you are building an asset that will offer you the things and lifestyle you’ve dreamt of. Develop your skills and build your business.

Let's take a step back and figure out why Tim Sales has created these products. Take Brilliant Compensation for example. This is a video of Tim Sales giving an in-depth review of the Network Marketing industry. He goes through very logical arguments of why Network Marketing is a legitimate business. But I think Tim Sales wants to do much more then just help others with the understanding of what Network Marketing or Multi Level Marketing (MLM) means.

Tim Sales has created a number of tools to help people get the proper training to build a Network Marketing Business. If you are questioning whether or not you should make the investment and purchase one of Tim's training tools such as Professional Inviter or Brilliant Compensation, you need to first ask yourself a few questions.

I believe that many people enter this industry thinking that it's going to be easy and that they don't need to get trained on how to build a Network Marketing Business. This is understandable as many people are taught to recruit others by says, "I think this will be very good for you", or "I know you're going to do well at this". The truth is you don't. In my four years experience in the Network Marketing industry, time and time again I am surprised at who 'succeeds' in this business. So some of the questions that you need to ask yourself are;

- Do you need to get trained to move your business forward?

- Do you have the skills to build a successful business?

- Do you know how to effectively market and promote your business, even after you hit the bottom of your names list?

Understand this, your best thinking has gotten you to where you are now. Period. If you don't think you need the training - then you must be happy with where you are at. So some people think it is luck that builds your business. Tim Sales does not.

Tim Sales has broken down the activities of a network marketer into 3 basic parts. Invite, Present, Train. Tim methodically breaks down each of these activities and gives a step-by-step guide of what to say and how to say it. He gives you a better understanding of how to approach people so you feel comfortable knowing that you are only there to help the other person. I have witnessed many 'light bulbs' go off with people who are exposed to Professional Inviter and Brilliant Compensation as they feel confident in what they are saying as well as what they are promoting.

Products such as Brilliant Questions and Brilliant Communicator go into even greater detail helping people know what to say to the prospects, and how to say it. So it goes without saying that if you are serious about building your network marketing business, you need to get exposed to the right training. Tim Sales has a flaw though... and that is he is only teaching people outdated methods. Sure these traditional methods can (and for some do) work. But approaching friends and family, calling leads, presenting at hotel meetings, is hardly an attractive "Business building activity" for many.

So if you want to sharpen your communication skills or if you have any doubt about the industry, then yes, purchasing Tim Sales products is worth the investment. But to learn new strategies to build and market your business, Tim Sales falls short. If you're looking for more "how to build" answers make sure to check out my link on the right.

1) Not having to drive through traffic 2) Staying home with the children 3) Setting your own schedule 4) Being your own boss

And the list goes on. But not many people will talk about the difficulties of working from home. We tend to build certain associations with different rooms in our house. For instance if we are use to relaxing in the television room, this is probably not the best place to be productive. If I’m not in my office I find my mind wondering in all different directions. So the first tip is to have a dedicated place where you can work.

When working from home there is less incentive to go out and meet new people. This can make you feel trapped and I know for myself, if I’m not around people I’ll start to go a bit crazy. So make it a part of your schedule to do activities that are outside or are in a group setting.

And one of the main downfalls of working from your home is being able to draw the boundaries of when you are working and when you are not. It becomes so easy just to slip into the office and check your email, or do a couple more things. This often times leads to a few more hours of work and less time for your loved ones!

Working from home definitely has a lot of benefits but is overshadowed by new challenges. Set boundaries for yourself and have others who you live with understand them as well. This will go a long way for your personal and business life as you become more productive.

The Coffee House Letter starts off by digging into the pain of many Network Marketers by reminding them of the struggle they go through to build their business. One of the statements they want to drive home is that YOU ARE NOT IN CONTROL if you are building an MLM business. They say this is the case for you have no way to control what others do, therefore you will always be at their mercy.

GPT or 'Get Paid Now' is presenting itself as a kind of quick fix, where you can depend on yourself to build your business. How does this happen? Well, in plain english its because you make bigger upfront profits on each new recruit. So the example that they take you through in the Coffee House Letter is that you can make

$1000 dollars on a High-Tier business (These businesses can cost upwards to, and above $3000). Where in a traditional MLM Business you may only get a few hundred dollars.

So the idea is to make more money up front, for people may not stay around too long

I thought at first that this was an interesting idea, but then I started to question why they start to plot GPT against MLM (Multi Level Marketing). I think the reason is actually obvious. Network Marketers are their target market. Many MLM'ers are opportunity seekers and are always looking for the next best opportunity.

But I think GPT doesn't take into account that many people in Network Marketing love their company and they just need to find a way to get it to work. So if you are looking into building a business that takes the model of 'Get Paid Today', Understand that many of the frustrations of building a home based business are going to follow you. It's important to join a company or a program that you can be passionate about. That's really where you will be able to build a thriving business.

So instead of jumping to the next best thing, get trained on strategies that will ensure you achieve success in your business. To get that kind of training, follow the link below. After been in the industry for 4 years you can learn what to avoid by understanding my mistakes.
