I come from a family with strong faith and family values and as I grew up I remember hearing my church leaders instruct us by saying, “This is a teaching moment”. I know my father would try to take advantage of those moments as well by seizing upon the opportunity to teach me and my teenage brothers a ‘life lesson’ hoping that the little window of opportunity, when our minds and ego’s were open to new ideas would in some miraculous way be receptive to this new concept and it would emblazon itself in our minds, never to be questioned again. I knew he would feel that he had taught us a life lesson and we were bound to pass it along to our own children as well. Perhaps out of frustration and a Read the rest of this entry »

MLM Ready Or Not? – Time Will Tell
Posted by Jordan | Posted in Home Based Business, Network Marketing | Posted on 02-03-10
The network marketing business has many perceptions by the public. A lot of people feel it is something that “everyone has tried and few have been successful,” and that may be so. However, regardless of the many perceptions, it is important to point out that it is a business that is simple, but not easy!
The simplicity is in the fact that once you find the right company (not always simple), and start to implement the system (hopefully they have something that can be duplicated) and you can be coachable you are on your way. But, that is about when it starts to fall apart for the majority of the people. The majority of the people expect to be that guy or gal in the video making thousands of dollars a month within the first few months. This is kind of a lottery mind-set.

What American Dream?
Posted by Jordan | Posted in Financial Freedom, Home Based Business, Network Marketing | Posted on 12-29-09
Picture this—middle America. Mom and dad, two kids, quaint house, picket fence—you’ve seen it in the movies, or maybe read about it in a book. It’s the American dream. As part of that dream, dad puts his arm around his young son, pulls him near and looks him straight in the eye. The words permeate within little Jr. “Son, I want you to work hard. This is America. Go to college. Earn your degree and get a good job. Work hard in your life so you can retire when you’re older. I want you to have a better life that the one I’ve got.”
Now picture this—third world country. Single mom, 5 children, a small dwelling with maybe two rooms. Not as popular as the previous scene; yet still they cling to a different version of the American dream: the one we’ve let slip through our fingers. This mom takes her eldest son in her arms and pulls him close. She whispers poignantly in his ear. “Son, I want you to work hard. Go to America. There you can start a business -

Learning About Your Competition
Posted by Jordan | Posted in Business, Entrepreneur, Home Based Business | Posted on 09-22-09
Even if you know all about your business and the market that you’re focusing on, don’t overlook the competition. There are people who are doing the same thing you’re doing, and some of them have been doing it longer. If you learn all that you can about them you’ll see where you’re weaker and where you’re stronger. Then you can play to those strengths and have a great chance at success.

When you create an online business you’re generally very excited about the prospect of making money and having some financial freedom. If you aren’t marketing your product or service to the right people, though, it can become very difficult for you to do much business at all. Before you start marketing, know who your target market is and what kind of message they need to hear. Then, package yourself to please them. You’ll get a lot more business that way.

If you’ve always dreamed of running your own company, now might be a great time to do so. That’s because an online company has almost no overhead or start-up costs, and you can do it so easily that almost anyone can set one up.

It’s not that hard to own a business today, and most of that’s due to the fact that there are a lot of home based businesses out there now. They cost very little to start up over the Internet, and even marketing them is inexpensive when you use a blog and social networking sites.

No matter what kinds of dreams you have when it comes to an online business, don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t accomplish them. You can do anything that you put your mind to, and the online world gives you a platform for all kinds of goals and dreams to be reached. That doesn’t mean it’ll be easy or that you’ll get there overnight, but you can certainly focus on what matters to you, and when you do your potential customers will see the value in what you have to offer.
