This is going to be a short, but truly life-changing post for those who commit to sticking to this advice, so don’t let the length of this fool you.
*Drum Roll*
Here come the 5 habits that will create you a home business empire:
1. Mindset and Personal Development
Invest time and money into books, info products, webinars, live seminars and coaching. Set a goal of reading 30 minutes everyday or reading 2 books per month. Whichever works better for you. If you are broke, get second-hand books and spare money on whatever you can. I used to spare on food by not eating out at all or going to the cheapest place. Also listen to audios of those who have what you desire. There are tons available for free on the Internet. Invest a certain percent of your profit back into these activities every month. You want to master your mindset and master your specific craft in your niche.
You can go to seminars that belong to your niche or even ones that are generic success days. For example I’m going to a success day in February, where Arnold Schwarzenegger will be a guest speaker and the spotlight of the event. Mindset, how to, mindset, how to, mindset…you get it.:)
2. Content Creation and Providing Value
This is how you attract people in the marketplace. Society is driven by value because people gravitate toward those who have value to share. The quality and amount of the FREE value you provide determines what prices you can command when it comes to your products. Never compete on price, compete on value. People are attracted to givers, not takers. Zappers, not sappers. Leaders, not followers. Alphas, not betas. Okay, that’s going to be enough for now..
3. Running Paid Marketing Campaigns
Mastering paid marketing is the door to creating cash on demand, to living by design and to be generating revenue while you are doing other things like sleeping. You can start the journey to mastery even on a $150-200 a month budget. My eBook can help you get the ball rolling.
4. Communicating With Your List and Leading By Value
The relationship with the lead list you are growing is your real asset in this business and nearly any other online business. Give them a first class experience. Message them 3-7 times a week. The rule is 80% value, 20% pitch.
5. Google Hangout or Conference Call For Prospecting
Live events bring online the closest to offline interactions. They build trust and it is proven that one of the highest sale closing ratios come from webinars. It is fun to teach live. Hold live events as often as you can. The ideal would be once per week, but once every other week is great too. You can start this early. I mean you could seriously hold a webinar about generating a few leads! In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king! You might be a newbie now, but going up the learning curve there will be more and more people who are bigger newbies than you.
Onward and Upward,
Ben
