Lead generating is one thing but then you have to close.When starting out you may be eager to recruit as many people as possible but this would be a mistake.You need to be recruiting the right kind of people.Make these change and you will start to see results:

1. Atitude:change you atitude from one of neediness to one of abundance.Make the prospect see they need your more than you need them.
2. Get them to take action:have them go to your company website or listen to a CD.In this way they will see your leadership,and if they don’t do what you ask of them,then let them go.
3. Find out their “why”: the prospect must have a burning reason to go into business by themselves,They may say “I want more money” but make sure it is not a lottery money mentality.Make sure they are not expecting you to do all the work.
4. Control the conversation:remember you are in control so you dictate the conversation.You are interviewing the prospect,so if they start interrupting you with comments and questions say”that’s a great question,I will get to that shortly” then get back to the agenda.

Follow these stratergies and you will find you team is strong and  you not be wasting your time on the tire kickers.

You need to have the right mindset to succeed as a home business owner.You can have all the right tools and technology to build your marketing system but if you do not have the right mindset to overcome the problems and obstacles that you will encounter then you will fail or at least find the going tough.Watch this video for how to hard wire your brain for success.

We only have so much was energy to do all that we want to achieve in a day.Yet we allow so much of this energy to be drawn away from building our home business opportunity.

One of the big drains is the TV.It sits there in the corner of your living room,just asking to  be switched on.So perhaps you do, only you say, to watch the news.But then it stays on and you stay there watching .Before you know it ,the whole evening has gone.You energy has gone with it and you have nothing left to use on your home business opportunity.

You have got to start plugging these leaks,so begin with turning off the television. I got rid of mine.The TV licence people can’t believe it and send me threatening letters!

By doing this I have so much more time to work on my business, and my energy levels are up.

Another area is the drama of life that your friends and family try to suck you into.Of course you mus show compassion but don’t become attached to all the drama.You can still love them but being attached to the drama is not love.

Cut out the distractions of your life, clean up the clutter and focus on what is important.

Clutter can include all the stuff in the your home or office that you keep thinking you must get round to sorting out “someday”.

A great resource to deal with this is a book by David Allen called Getting Things Done the best book I have read on time management.

It shows how to get all things to your “in” box,process and sort them, then dump the chunk.

You can get it from amazon here:

I have followed his advise and taken so much stuff to the local tip.

So get rid of all the drama both in the world and in your head and see your energy levels go through the roof.You home business opportunity will look better too.

They say that if you treat it as a hobby then you will get hobby size cheques.

Are you willing to do what it takes to succeed?That is alot different from trying your best,for what if that is not good enough?Well at that point you will probably give up.But if you are prepared to do what it takes, then you will push through the obstacles that are bound to show up.

When I first started out in this business I had this vision of “making it” .There I would be lying on a tropical island somewhere in the Pacific with a cocktail in my hand.Mmm….I wonder how long it would be before I got bored.I realised that I am on this earth to grow and evolve, for as someone once said to me “when we die all we have left to take with us is the person we have become”.

When you go to a funeral do they talk about the deceased’s accumulation of wealth,how many cars they had?No, it was the qualities they possessed,the things and service they gave to the community.

You will have to give alot before the money shows up,that is the test to see how committed you are.For many will fall by the way side,only the true believers will continue.

But don’t fall into the trap of thinking there is some destination,some mythical wonderland.It is the journey that makes it worthwhile.You will be a better person for it.

Your partner in success
