You’ve been working on your business faithfully. You’re putting ads online, you’re hanging flyers around town, and talking to tons of people. And just today you had a great conversation and your prospect was super- excited. You were super-excited too! Then you mention start-up costs - and it’s like you deflated their balloon! And you feel the air seeping out of your balloon as well!
If you’ve been in business for a while, you’ve heard it before…the interest is there, but no one seems to have any money. Is everyone REALLY that broke?
The answer is a big NO! At least not everyone.
There are three types of people that claim to not have the money:
1. The one’s that DO have the money, but don’t know it yet!
2. The one’s that DO have money and know it, but for whatever reason they aren’t buying from you or joining you in a business relationship.
3. The one’s that really don’t have the money
How do you determine what type of person you are dealing with?
I am going to address the first type of person today:
Those that DO have money, but don’t know it.
If you have a serious prospect, and they say they don’t have the money, you may want to determine just where they do spend the money they acquire.
You may ask them something like,
“ Let me ask you Cindy, you say you want to change your life. You’re tired of living in a 2-bedroom apartment with 4 kids and driving a 1979 jalopy. You also say you don’t have the $50.00 to start your home business today. If I can show you how to get that money in the next week or so, would you be ready to start your business at that time?”
If they are serious, they will say YES. Ask them to think about where they spend their money and could trim back.
Here are a few ways people can come up with extra money:
Do they eat out or have food delivered at home? Give it up for a night/week.
Entertainment- They can watch a movie at home instead of going out
If they get their hair/nails done- delay it for a week or two
Bring a lunch to work for a week instead of buying
Bring coffee from home rather than buy at a doughnut shop/convenience store (this is called the Latte Factor)
If they don’t normally do it, use coupons for a few weeks when grocery shopping
Have a garage sale
Sell unused items on ebay
If they smoke cigarettes, drink alcohol or soda- can they cut back? All of these things are costly & bad for you!
If your prospect is serious about changing their life, you will hear from them within a few weeks. If not, they are a #2 or #3.
In my next post, I will address the "people that DO have money and know it, but for whatever reason they aren’t buying from you or joining you in a business relationship".
I hope everyone has a happy and prosperous Friday!

The First Weeks In Your New Home Based Business
Starting a new endeavor can be a time of many emotions. You may be excited, scared or even a little apprehensive. You know you want to change your life for the better. You know you need to get to the training and get to work, but you’re overwhelmed!
All the training, the websites and the new terminology! How in the world will you ever make sense out of everything and make an income?
The first thing you must remember is that this is a new career for you. If you had a new JOB, you would most likely feel overwhelmed there as well. Reserve the first couple of weeks as your training period. You wouldn’t train for a new job for 12 hours straight. You don’t have to train for a home business in one night either. Figure out a schedule for training, just like you will later be creating a work schedule.
Make sure you contact your recruiter/enroller EVERY DAY; either by email, instant message, or by telephone. Ask questions. You will need that support as you build your business. The good new is, leaders work with and help the willing!
Participate in training calls. You can never learn enough. And again, when you’re name is heard over and over, the leaders know you are working!
Get educated. There are some great books out there for home business owners. Some of my favorites are listed below.
Get the word out! You need to always be “planting seeds” if you want your business to grow. Don’t be ashamed or embarrassed about your home business…
…be proud that you are taking control of your life and ensuring a future filled with financial and time freedom for you and your family.

There are not many work from home “jobs”. If there were, wouldn’t everyone work at home?
With a home business, ou are in charge of every aspect of that business. You need to learn about your company’s products or services and how to market them.
You need self-discipline. You need to ignore the dirty dishes in the sink. You will need to create a schedule with time set aside for your business, family and housework.
You are usually paid commissions and with some companies, bonuses. You need to BUILD a business, one customer at a time. But once you start building, you can’t stop!
With a home business, you don’t need permission to take time off. You can be there for loved ones if needed, attend school plays and ball games. You can give yourself a raise whenever you want just by working harder! With some companies, you are building a lifetime residual income.
