Recession Proof Business Opportunity Mindset

My many years marketing online has taught me one very important lesson. The main reason the majority of people fail with their recession proof business opportunity, is that they don't think the same way as those who do have success, and fail to position themselves for success. They utilize the same cookie cutter marketing platform that thousands of other affiliates are also using. When you adjust your thinking, and position yourself correctly you'll see a huge improvement in your recession proof business income.

Your main goal on this journey is not allow yourself to be pulled down by the negative thinking of others you associate with. Understand this, the majority of the people on this planet have accepted a way of thinking this is mediocre, complacent, non-rewarding, low risk and safe, not a good formula for a successful recession proof business.

Now...these same people will experience even more conflict, in spite of the precautions that they take to side step it. Their turmoil comes from an existence of desire and scarcity. They live a lifestyle of living one paycheck to the next, barely making it. They do not get to experience life. All they are doing is exchanging one form of conflict for another, and they can't understand why their lives are so miserable. Their safe lifestyle, leads nowhere.

To truly experience all that life has to offer you need to be bold and courageous, master your life to experience all the beautiful things it has to offer.

You will be outnumbered when you challenge the mind set most people have, but don't be discouraged. People will follow leaders..... so be one. The 3% act and do things differently, they refuse to be cows in the pasture. But rather take life by the horns and charge through the jungle like a Rhino, creating their future and cementing their destiny.

Their are really only two types of people in the world. The type of person that gets things done, does not make excuses, or blame others for their failures, or the type of person that always complains, blames the system and other people for their failures and is unmotivated to change their lifestyle. I hope that's not you. Be strong, and come out from the negative mindset.

When you do this, you will be subjecting yourself to criticism, snide remarks and pettiness.... it goes with the territory.

Now here's where you can separate yourself from the masses and apply your courage. Over the course of time, this constant nit picking, snide remarks, goofiness, pettiness, and assorted other negativity, can have an effect on you. You need to stay the course, and when you do, your life will change and great things will come to you. But, If you're expecting it to just happen, overnight without any effort on your part, you'll be in for a rude awakening.

Word of Mouth Advertising Works!

What would you say is the best type of advertising?
banners, article marketing, PPC?

What would you say if I told you that word of mouth advertising is King?.
Let's take a closer look at this often overlooked form of advertising.

While I would agree with you that targeted email, banner ads, solo ads, and even radio ads all have their place, nothing compares to the power of word of mouth advertising.

Now....when one person communicates to another person about your product or service, just the fact that they are speaking about your product or service brands you as an expert in your field. Most people searching online today do not trust advertising, but they do trust people and their recommendations.

This is how it works, if a person feels strongly enough about what you do to tell another, the person receiving the information will take notice, even if it get's explained wrong. If that person tells say...15 or 20 more people, they will become a center of influence.

If you consider yourself a professional marketer you cannot afford to overlook social networking sites for long. These Social networking sites are now the perfect place to begin building relationships – the fact is, it’s all about relationships!. Paid advertising does not encourage any dialog. Social sites like Twitter, Facebook and more will encourage dialog,

In order to properly use these social networking sites and develop a word of mouth business, you need to be in regular contact with the type of people who can benefit from your product or service. You need to ask your self a very honest question; do you know what your ideal prospect looks like? Once you do you can develop and implement a plan
to get and stay in front of them.

Try some of these techniques:

* List the kind of clients that you would like to have more contact with. Understand your product or service and match to ideal client I.E. they need what you do, they would benefit from your product or service, etc.

* Find common ground. What does your ideal client do or enjoy?, what are their hobbies, what websites do they surf?. Learn as much as you can and be where they are.

* Get to know them on there playground. Before people will buy and recommend you, they need to get to know and trust you.

Learn to develop and build that trust relationship with people who are well positioned to help you. You have to earn their recommendation. When you do, your marketing will explode with what is the best form of advertising ….word of mouth.

Remove your Fear of Failure and experience great Success

To be successful in today's competitive Internet market, learning to overcome your fear of failure should be high on your training list. Seek and apply training courses to improve your personal skills, increase your personal confidence, and magnify your personal value to others. Absorb courses that teach basic human nature, and how the Law of Attraction works. Are you prospecting or networking in your business, learn to understand human nature in order to sell and explain your opportunity successfully with others.

I once had a sponsor ask me this: would you buy stock in your own company? Ask yourself this question, "Why would others want to do business with me"? People join you, not your product or opportunity. Some key points to touch on:
* You need to identify and eliminate bad habits, and replace them.
* Use strategies that work.
* Be aware of this on a daily basis.

Mention prospecting or calling a lead to most people and this usually happens, your palms start to sweat, your heart starts to beat faster, your blood pressure will rise. What you are experiencing is basic human nature….Fear. Everybody experiences this emotion, and that emotion is fear. You’re fear of failure or even success holds you back from accomplishing your dreams and goals.

Prospecting requires you to learn new skills, but first you must understand the basic human psychology. If you are prospecting or networking in your business, you need to understand basic human nature in order to interact successfully with prospects. Learn to control and recognize your fear. Why do you think, act, and speak the way you do?

The fear of success, if you are successful that means your life will change from what it is now. Most live a habitual daily existence.
*Get up in the morning and get ready for work
*Get the kids ready for school
*Make the commute to work
*Watch the clock all day, get off work
*Commute home, make dinner
*Watch TV, and then go to bed
Success in your life will change all this, are you ready for that change, and do you truly want change in your life? If you feel you are ready for success, you must learn how to adjust your financial thermostat on a subconscious level.

The next time you attend a party or function, take a close look. There are always certain people attending the event that everyone seems attracted to. A crowd will form around them, and people are intently listening to them. These people have mastered the law of attraction, and conquered their fear of failure, and other people cannot help but obey.

They have elevated themselves to a position of value, other people want to be a part of this and realize this person can help them. Want success in your business? Then you must learn this law of attraction concept, remove your fear of failure and apply it to your prospecting activities.

To overcome your fear of failure, you must become a knowledgeable provider, an expert in your field. Share this knowledge and learn to use the law of attraction. This will causes
The law of attraction to kick in and others will start to seek you out. They want your knowledge and expertise. Now you have a prospect that already trust you, use this trust To build a relationship that is beneficial to both parties.

Home sweet home franchise opportunities

When you go to work, you shouldn't have to leave home, commute or put up with grumpy supervisors.

Home sweet home....it has become increasing true, especially over the last ten years that the home is becoming the place for starting a low cost franchise opportunity. While the idea of starting a low cost home based franchise business is certainly not a new concept, most low cost franchise opportunities were either independent start-ups or consultant-based platforms.

Now fast forward to present and you will see that the home-based franchise industry is growing fast, enabling new entrepreneurs to run legitimate and successful businesses from home with relatively low cost and high income potential.

Let's start by addressing the differences between a home-based franchise and a more traditional brick and mortar franchise. With a home based franchise opportunity there is lower cost associated with operating your business. Usually no employees, no rent at the end of each month. You won’t have to pay unemployment insurance or match your payroll taxes for each employee employed. All the rules and regulations associated with a traditional franchise. Up until recently there was a lack of quality low cost franchise opportunities available…that has started to change

There is a big difference between business opportunities (often called “Biz-Ops”) and a low cost home-based franchise opportunity. A home based franchise offers a proven business model; a biz-op generally offers far less quantifiable proof. Most of your biz-ops being marketed today are selling you on the get rich quick method. We have all seen the ads, “sign up 2 people and make $20,000 a month”, or my favorite “Are you lazy? I will build your downline for you and pay you just for signing up”. Typically this business model is neither effective nor proven.

A reputable low cost franchise opportunity offers a proven business model. A solid and effective marketing platform, complete training and a product line that is in demand. The communities that have sprung up and blossomed around these low cost franchise opportunities are other like minded entrepreneurs, I.E. lawyers, business owners and community leaders. Providing a rich and supportive environment, ready to help and assist you in your venture.

Is it possible to earn $100,000+ per year working solely from your home computer less than 20 hours a week with no requirement to market and sell your products or services? Unlikely, but if it were easy wouldn't everybody be doing it? Dismiss the myth that it is easy to make a living online, generating actual profits with a low cost franchise is like any other real business. It will require an investment in both your time and resources, but the rewards can be great, both financially and personally.

In summation: I believe the time is ripe for researching low cost franchise opportunities, the economy is weak and people are tired of allowing corporations to control their future. The home based business franchise has evolved into a reputable niche. There are more opportunities to select from and operating a home based franchise is cheaper, easier and more profitable than a traditional brick and mortar franchise. Do your research, be persistent and make a commitment.
