When to be serious about your online business and when to just laugh
by Roger Moody
There are going to be times in your online business when you need to be very focused and serious…. It is a real online business after all! However, when working your business and dealing with different types of people there are times when you gotta just laugh! Here are a few examples:
Serious – Finding time to work your business
When it comes to finding time to work your online business every week you have to get serious. The great thing about a home based business is you can work it whenever you want, the bad thing about a home based business is you can work it whenever you want!
If you don’t set out specific times to work your business online you are destined to fail. Just because you can work your business around your family’s schedule doesn’t mean you won’t have to make some sacrifices along the way.
Try making a weekly schedule and sticking with it. Treat the time you spend working your online business like the time you would spend at a “real” job. Also, let friends and family know when you’re going to be working so they don’t disturb you as much.
Laugh – Talking to rude people on the phone
If you’ve ever called people on the phone about your business chances are you’ve come across some really rude people. If you haven’t come across rude people you’re not working hard enough!
Dealing with rude people over the phone is a part of just about any home business. You have to learn to laugh it off. You are calling these people to offer them something that they need! You should never, ever feel bad about that. After all what could they possibly have to do that’s more important than taking a phone call that could change their life forever?
When people are rude to your over the phone just laugh it off and move on. Don’t let it upset you or stop you from making progress. Just move on to the next.
Serious – Getting your mind right
People in home based businesses (online or offline) are always talking about getting your mind right, but it’s for good reason. If your mind isn’t in the game you’re never going to have the type of success you could have. Make sure your mind is ready to really win and you’ll find success much faster!
Laugh – When your friends and family don’t believe you
I know that sometimes nothing could sting more than having a friend or family member tell you that you’re going to fail. It’s rough, but you have to just laugh it off!
The thing you have to remember is most people are conditioned to understand having a regular 9-5 job and anything that’s a little different than that can freak people out. Don’t let it bother you when the people closest to you laugh. Many, many MLM success stories started with their family members laughing at them. Guess what… they aren’t laughing now!
Serious – Get some “Skin in the Game”!
If you want to get really serious about making money from home you’re going to have to invest in tools for success at some point. That can come in the form of leads, or marketing tools it can also simply be ebooks or other types of information. If you want a business that’s going to pay you big money you’re going to have to invest a little.
Don’t waste your money on anything and everything, but find products that come with great testimonials and that you feel can really help your business. Don’t be afraid to spend a little money to make a lot!
Laugh – “Isn’t that a pyramid scheme?”
If I’ve heard this once I’ve heard it a thousand times. People have been calling legitimate multi level marketing companies “pyramid schemes” for the longest time and it’s never going to change.
Don’t let it bother you and laugh it off. There are many, many home based businesses out there that are moral, ethical and legal if people don’t know that by now that’s their problem not yours and certainly not your company’s fault.
Learn when to get serious about your business and when to just laugh it all off and you’ll be a much happier and more motivated home business owner. Remember not to let anyone steal your dream from you, you CAN have success working from home!
