Work From Home Success Tips
It is becoming increasingly common to find small money making
opportunities from home owners making sizeable incomes from home. The majority of money
making opportunities from home owners are below the age of 45 and more people are constantly
turning to this way of doing business because of the numerous advantages that a work from home
set-up offers. Most home-based business opportunities have low start-up costs and overhead. You
minimize travel expenses such as gas, car maintenance, or public transport costs. You also save
on at least 1-2 hours a day commuting, which is the norm for most traditional employees. This
will greatly increase your productivity, lower your stress, and allow you to avoid being stuck
in traffic or in bad weather. You are your own boss. You work where you want, when you want, or
how you want. As long as you are disciplined and don’t fall prey to the many distractions found
at home you can really be successful. Having the flexibility of working from home will allow
you to work at your own pace. You can both work from home and still manage to be employed in a
regular full-time job, or spend more personal time with your family.
A work from money making opportunities will also provide you
with considerable tax savings resulting from business-related deductions on things that you
spend on anyway such as: mortgage/rent, hydro, heat, home and car insurance, property/school
taxes, condo fees, interest on certain loans, phone, internet, gas, car maintenance, restaurant
bills, office supplies, furniture, and more
In spite of the obvious benefits that one can experience, setting up a work-from-money making
opportunities from home is not without certain caveats. Most money making opportunities from
homees take some time to get established so having steady income is difficult in the early
stages. A person should not rush to quit his/her full-time salaried or hourly wage job. Work
around your schedule and your other responsibilities.
Here are a few simple tips on running a successful business from home:
1. Formulate your attack plan. You should start with finding the right product or service to
sell. Do you have your own product or service to market or will you be marketing someone
else’s? A lot of people often come up with great ideas for products and/or services (and even
develop them) only to find out later that nobody would want to buy them. Identify the
particular products and/or services that are needed and identify your target market.
2. Market. After deciding on a specific product or service, the next step is to market it. Your
main goal is to captivate and hold the interest of the people who could be your potential
customers. With all the competition out there you often don’t have a huge window of time to do
this so a good first impression is always critical. There are many effective marketing
strategies you can use depending on your time and budget constraints. Inform your family and
friends about your business to get the ball rolling with some vital word of mouth credibility.
Advertise in newspapers, using business cards, flyers, and especially on the Internet. Internet
marketing is a must in the 21st century.
3. See things through. Perhaps the key to a successful money making opportunities from home is
the ability to follow through. Having made contact with your target market through your
advertisements, you should expect people to get in touch with you. They will ask for
information relating to the products or services or the money making opportunity you may be
offering. Don’t be shy to call them if they leave you their phone number. They gave it to you
for a reason. Talking to your potential clients/partners will make them realize that there is a
real person behind your business whom they can consult whenever they have questions or need
guidance.
4. Stay current. It is always wise to take advantage of the technologies available to you.
Thanks to the Internet, home-based businesses can now cater to millions of people worldwide, 24
hours a day, using minimal effort (because of the automated system) and the minimal cost
associated with it.
5. Stay positive. In the final analysis, what is important is having the right attitude towards
your business. There will always be challenges, no matter how foolproof your strategy is. You
have to believe in your ability to succeed, to have passion and courage, and to never give up.
Results differ from one person to the next. That is the nature of all business. However, by
following these simple steps you will greatly increase your odds of building a successful
work-from-money making opportunities from home.

Warm Up Your Job Opportunity With a Cold Cover Letter
Perhaps you have an idea for a job that doesn’t readily exist but one that you’d like to create. Suppose you have a master’s degree in history with plenty of experience doing researchsomething you enjoy. If so, write a cold cover letter, describing how you could be an asset to a company by doing research work. You might approach a publishing company or a chamber of commerce with cold cover letters and suggest a position that includes researching the history of a city or company so that a book could be written on that community or organization and made available as a fund-raiser. A cold cover letter is a good vehicle for such an idea.

Want to get into Internet technology? If so you’ll need to write a cover letter. You can do it. Be sure to let the hiring manager know what you’re good at. For example, mention the web technologies you’re familiar with, such as Perl, CGI, PHP. Potential employers are looking for people like you but they won’t know about you unless you tell them. IT cover letters are the tools that introduce you to the people who can get you interviewed and then hired. The more specific you are regarding your experience, training, and expertise, the more you’ll be considered for the opening available.

Are you stepping out into success?

Are you stepping out into success?
Many of us think of applying the pressure as failing. ‘The pressure is coming. Oh my gosh! What am I going to do? The pressure is coming.’ But pressure doesn’t need to be a negative: I love this quote.
Pressure is a word that is misused in our vocabulary. When you start thinking of pressure, it’s because you started to think of failure. Tommy Lasorda
When you stop and think about what happens in life, pressure is being applied constantly in many different arenas. An example would be rush hour traffic that puts more and more pressure on the highways. As the population grows more and more pressure is added. What happens? Do we, as a society, give up and say ‘oh, well. Too Bad? It’s just going to take you that much longer to transit into work’? Your commute time, instead of being an hour and a half, is going to be 2 hours. And in 3 years from now, it’s going to be 4 hours. Or do we take the action, as a society, as a city, as a person and do something to relieve that pressure? Yes we do something that will alleviate the pressure for all of that traffic coming into the downtown core.
We as a society, as a city, step into success. We do something to alleviate that pressure. We can learn to apply that concept in our life. Instead of taking a look at the pressure as a bad thing we can use it to build something new, a bridge to our future. Do we do what Tommy Lasorda said-misuse that word ‘pressure’ and think of it as ‘oh, I’m going to fail, I’m going to fail’ and then give up? - or do we CHOOSE to do something different and step into our own success?
We all have habits. What is your ‘it’? What is the ‘it’ that stops you? When you start to feel that pressure, what do you do? Next time that happens, I want you to stop and think, ‘what am I automatically doing here’? Then decide to do something different in order to get a different result.
When I was first introduced to this concept, I did not recognize what habit I fell into until I was all the way in it. Stress eating was one of the things I used to do. As I learn to recognize where that pressure point is, what my habit is, what my ‘it’ is, I, can learn how to change it, how to react differently.
I just watched the movie ‘What the Bleep?! - Down the Rabbit Hole’. One of the concepts in the movie is that we, as human beings, are bombarded every second with 400 billion bits of information. We only process 2000, therefore we need to choose carefully which bits we pay attention too. When we succumb to the pressure and fall into a negative habit, like I used to when I was stress eating, we are selecting only a narrow negative portion of information from the 4 billion bits..
I have decided that I am going to choose a different 2,000 bits of information. It really is just a choice.. We need to recognize what our habits, and that we can change our habits. Millions of people have learned how to stop the stress eating habit. Millions of people have learned how to quit smoking. Millions and millions of people have learned how to make their life and Starscapes.com business opportunity better, how to step into success. If they can do it, I can do it. If I can do it, you can do it. It’s all just a simple choice, to make a different decision.
If you are a parent ask yourself, if you choose non-success habits, what are the habits and passions that you are creating in your children? Are you creating a generational curse or a generational legacy? Another great quote is “children have never been good at listening to their elders. But they have never failed to imitate them”. by James Baldwin. Even if you aren’t a parent what about the influence you have on the people around you?
We need to learn to recognize when we are backing off from pressure, when we are moving into the habits that are not success habits (the ones that we need to change). We also need to recognize the habits that we have that are good, that are leading us towards success, leading us to our financial freedom. We need to be aware so that we can make changes in our negative habits and reinforce our positive habits.
We need to learn to recognize that when we wish for something, ask for something, pray for something or when we say affirmations for something, it’s not going to just happen. It’s not going to be handed to us on a silver platter. One of my affirmations is “I am building a team of dream achievers” Now, I know that that is going to take patience and perseverance and that this whole team of dream achievers are not just going to be dumped in my lap. I have to go looking for them and attract them into my life.
As I go down the personal development journey and build my home business I come up against pressure points all the time. When I think back to the pressure points in my life last year at this time versus this year - whoa! - last year’s ones seem really simple now. What happens? We are not given exactly what we want right off the bat. But we are given the opportunity to develop the skills so that we get better. On my journey, I am becoming a better team leader. I am practicing my patience and my perseverance in my own learning so that I become that better learner that attracts, using the Law of Cause and Effect, that team of dream achievers, the team of business builders.
When that pressure is applied in our lives, patience and perseverance, is what we need in order to grow through that pressure point. Once we do grow and find different habits to allow us to get past that pressure point, to allow us to develop the skills, to learn those new things that we need to learn, we come to a better place and we can handle more pressure. We have new skills. We know something different. We react in a different away. We remain patient. We practice the perseverance and can step into success.
Are you applying enough pressure? Are you stepping out into success? Take a look at your habits. What do you do when the pressure hits? Are you giving yourself the opportunity to develop a new skill, to become even better than you already are? I would love to hear about those experiences.. Send me an email at Carla at retirewithcarla.com or give me a phone call at (778) 835-4032 and let me know, what are the habits that you’ve come across? What are some of the things that you have done differently?
