Stop the dream stealers in their tracks!

You hang up the phone, super excited. You have just started your new home based business! Dreams that have been collecting dust in the recesses of your mind are clamoring to the surface. Maybe there is hope after all. Finally, a way out of the rat race. You’re flying high and can’t wait to tell the wife! You know she’ll be just as excited as you are.


You pace back and forth in front of the window, awaiting her arrival. When you see her, you run out to meet her at the car.


“Honey, I’ve got great news! I’ve finally found something that is going to make us rich!”


She responds with:

A) “Did you win the lottery?”

or......

B) “Who died?”

or......

C) “What did you do now?”

You tell her about Scott, your best friend from kindergarten calling you out of the blue and presenting a business plan that could not fail. It was selling widgets! Everyone needs widgets!


You wait for the excitement……. Silence …There isn’t any excitement at all.

In fact you’re in the doghouse! She is furious that you spent money on a “scam” as she called it.

You sleep on the couch, figuring she’ll “come around”.

You go to work and share the news of your new business with a buddy at work. He laughs . "C’mon you don’t believe all that stuff do you? Only the lucky get rich!"

Your wife is mad at, your co-workers are laughing at you, and your parents think you’re crazy!

You start to wonder- what if everyone’s right?

They are not right, they are dream stealers!

Dream stealers can be your spouse, a parent, your neighbor, even a close friend or office colleague.

Some dream stealers are those who love you. They don’t understand what you are doing and are concerned for you and your family. These people may not even realize they are dream stealers.

Others may be jealous. Maybe they have given up a dream in the past and can’t see the road back.

Regardless of Dream Stealers, you CAN succeed at business. Look at all the modern conveniences at our disposal. They all started with a dream and became a reality with hard work. Even when they were told they couldn’t, they did.

How to STOP the dream stealers,

Remember your WHY: Write down your reasons for wanting to be INDEPENDENT and achieve TIME FREEDOM. It is easier to stay on track if you keep that in the forefront of your mind.



Create a dream board with pics of your dreams. What do you want? A new car? Put a picture of your dream car on your dream board. Add to it as you create new goals for the future.



Stay away from dream stealers! Most people face at least some dream stealers on their journey to freedom. Like speed bumps in the road, they just about stop you in your tracks. Try to steer clear as much as possible. If you have to be with them, don’t bring up business. Accentuate the positive aspects of your home-based business if asked.



Make a list of comebacks for different “comments” dream stealers may make. The important thing is to keep your cool and remember you are in charge of your life, not them.



If you seriously work your new business despite everything, you will soon have the proof that working at home is the right choice for you.



And they may even want to join you!



Here’s to your success!

Feel free to contact me with questions regarding work at home at:

home4ever@hotmail.com

You asked for WAH info and no one's calling you back!

You've been researching home business opportunities. You’ve narrowed your search down to 2 or 3 companies. You have requested information from these companies, and no one is calling you back!

No, you’re not being blacklisted by the work at home community!

Chances are one of the following things have happened:

You may have misspelled your email address or phone number

If an email is spelled incorrectly, it will be returned.

If you provided a telephone number, you may have made a mistake when typing in the numbers.

You have a “no-no” email address!

Email addresses like: sexymomma6969x2@yahoo.com or womanhater@hotmail.com probably will be overlooked as junk. And honestly, being sexy is not a condition of being a successful business partner. No one cares what you look like.

And if you are a woman hater....well, a good majority of home business leaders are women! NEXT! Do yourself a favor- use an email address that is professional.

You provided all the correct information and still no information…

If you haven't received an email and you know you provided a correct email address, check your spam or bulk folder. If you know the recruiters email, be sure to add them to your address book so that you can receive emails from them.

The call back

When you state on your request for information to call you at 1 p.m. central, BE THERE at 1 p.m. central. There is usually an area on contact forms to write additional comments. If so, specify if you will be unavailable on certain days.

Call or email if you are unable to keep that appointment. Recruiters get many, many requests for work at home. If you are unavailable when they call, they may or may not have a chance to get back with you.

Make sure you can accept calls if you are using a cell phone number and be sure to have a voicemail or answering machine with a NICE message in case you are not there. Let’s not get into some of the messages I’ve heard. And these people want to work with me?


While we are on the subject of cell phones- check your ring tone! Take off that music that plays for 10 minutes before you answer or the voicemail comes on. People in business don’t have time to sit through a bunch of these ring tones everyday- NEXT!

These are a few reasons why you may not be getting calls back. So remember to double-check your spellings and telephone numbers when asking for information. Have a “normal” ring tone on cell phones, and leave a nice voicemail. You may even get a nice message back. The call that can change your future!
