How do You Stay Focused on Your Homebased Business When the In-Box Keeps Filling Up?
I have a friend who tells me that he is always on the look out for new Money Making
Opportunities to work from home or a homebased business. Last count, he was working about
10 different mlms, and of course, none of them where paying anything. He was blamming the lack
of a payoff to not enough traffic, no serious leads and on and on. But he went on to say again,
that he's always on the lookout for something newer, better, and one where they guarantee
you'll make money, in their mlm opportunity. Not in writing of course.
He kept sending me all his information on every new site that fell into his mailbox, asking what do
you think about this one? Well, he's finally given up on getting me to join any of those, fly-by-night,
startups. I have one primary company, one training company, two blogs and a squidoo page, so in order
to keep focused, I see no way that I would want to add another company to my list. That would be more
of a distraction to me, just thinking how to market another work at home opportunity.
I'm always wondering how someone like my friend remembers what mlm business he belongs to? Plus password,
screen name and all the other information that you have to fill in when you join. Also there seems to be
only a handful of good places on the net to place a classified ad anyway.That is, if you want the ad to be seen.
Yes, there are probably thousands of classified sites to pick from but do you have the time to post an
ad in every city of every state? Not me, takes too many hours and I consider posting there to be more
of a shotgun approach to advertising. It would be a full time job trying to track all those ads.
I'm sure a lot of webmasters will tell you that their sites get thousands of hits, but why is it, when you post
your ad there, you get nothing and that's even if the ad stays up for 7 days? When's the last time you went
on the internet and said I think I'll read some classified ads? Never?
So back to the orignal question, how do you stay focused on your business opportunity, when it's raining
"New Opportunities" all around you? I tend to clean out my inbox with one hand on the mouse and ready
to click the delete button. I average about 20 to 30 offers per day, either a new opportunity or watch
this 2 hour video, just made, chocked full of information, never released before. You know the ones, Amazing
discovery made by a pizza delivery guy, after he tripped over a shrub and hit his head on the concrete. Get in
now, learn his secrets, and yada, yada, yada.
Get the picture?
Staying focused is tough, when there is a hail storm of new opportunities every where, and a flurry of b/s flying
around making outlandish claims and exaggerated promises. We've all been there, join on Monday and be
filthy rich by Saturday. Did you join? Did you get rich in one week? Never worked for me.
If you need help maketing your homebased business, get your copy of Magnetic Sponsoring or Building on a Budget
and either of these training courses will help you turn your marketing completely around. Get the information
on how to market and how you can stay focused in building your mlm business.
