So why is there a 90% FAILURE rate in Online Home based business opportunity?

Let me tell you it has nothing to do with the specific business itself. But it
has more to do with the quality of people who decide to start in a home based
business online.

Everyday new people come to the internet all for the wrong reasons –MONEY.
I know that’s what we all want to achieve,ultimately, but 90% of the people
who seek home based opportunities online do it because they are either sick of
their job, others got fired or laid off from their job, and then are just others
who are just too curious.

Here is the common trait with all those people I just mentioned:

They’re DREAMERS.

And as Dreamers, there is nothing more they would love to have than to have money
INSTANTLY show up in their bank account from their home based business opportunity.
To save them from their financial doom. A financial DOOM that resulted from their poor money making decisions.

These Dreamers, in the past, have never run business of their own. They do believe
in the financial potential of the business opportunity enough to buy. The
problem is when they make a purchase, they do it with–”Entitlement Mentality.”
This means that they believe they’re owed something in return just because the bought the product or join the biz opportunity.

The moment these Dreamers do not make money(within weeks or month), they start
screaming “SCAM! SCAM!”. And then they eventually QUIT. Then they blame everybody but themselves on their failure to succeed.

Do not be one of these people. There have been plenty of individuals in the past who
struggled to success in order to pave the way for you to succeed in your online home based business opportunity.

You’re probably aware the superior athletes  with the likes of Peyton Manning, Muhammad Ali, Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan  have the ability to FOCUS to the point where noise and other distractions from the crowd are completely eliminated.  Network marketers can also benefit from this important concept by developing an ability to concentrate just on a single OBJECTIVE.

According to the book The Power of Focus by Jack Candield and Mark Victor Hansen, focus begins with removing bad habits and replacing them with good, healthy habits.

1) Begin setting GOALS

Goals are the best way to become focused. When you see a task or a target, your brain will just start working and will continously move towards that goal until that goal is acheved.  Its in our nature to be always be working towards an objective.

Goals give you a reason and a sense of purpose. If you dont have that then your probably lost.

Whats the common trait most unhappy people have? You guess.. it lack of purpose as a result of having no goals in life.

2)Seek out mentors to prorovide guidance.

A Mentor can provide you with guidance, keep you on track, and can offer direction for you to follow when your faced with difficulty and challegnes. They ‘ve been on that road you are on before so that they can give you great advice on what not to do. They will, also, challenge you and hold you accountable to your goals.

3) Eat properly.

Yes  i said it.

I love food.

Here’s the thing: Some foods will improve your mental sharpness( fruits, vegetables, fishes, and fibers.) Meanwhile other such as fats and acohol are aboslutely no good for you.  If you would only increase your daly intake of  high-quality foods and drinks every day, then your mental focus and sharpness will autmatially improve.

Drink more water as well.

4) Make sure you take regular breaks.

Unless you’re super human and can work for 8 hour straight, then make sure you take short breaks . This allows you to work at a full capacity at  longer periods of time. Get up and stretch. Make sure you are always moving aound. Eating a pieces of fruits or drinking a glass of cold water will drastically improve your working capacity.


5)Turn off Distractions

When your working on a project that requires conenctration, make sure you turn off any distractions such as the phone.

Yes, no blackberry or iphone.

Cut down on your emaili checking and instant messageing system.( skype).  Dont worry.. I use to get carried away with these things.

But let me tell you– removing all these distractions will greatly improve your concentrations & focus. As a result, your output will increase.

One final advice also it o make sure you make a list of three or four activities that will you achieve your goals, targets and objective.  Whether it’d be calling your leads, putting up blog content, writing aritcles, or uploading a video. Select one time from your list and work on it until it is competed.  This simple step alone will help you achieve focus.

What do you think is the most important element to success?
C’mon, think hard….figure it out yet?

Alright ill give you a tip..look in the mirror. Its easier than it seemed hey?!

Self image is so important because by understanding your self-image and by learning to modify it and manage it to best suit your purposes you can gain super confidence and power.

You may not realize it but we all carry with us a mental blueprint of ourselves. It may not be as clear as day but it is there. To clarify what self image is, its our own belief of the “person I am” down to the last detail.
These belief were built from past experiences, failures, successes, our interaction with other people, more so from our childhood experiences. A mental picture of ourselves is then constructed and this picture becomes the “Truth” that we act on.

Every action, behavior, and abilities are Always consisted with the self-image. In fact, you will always act like the type of person you believe yourself to be regardless of how much conscious effort or willpower to resist your self-image.

You cannot  escape your self-image for long. Even if you are able to put a patch on your self-image, eventually, you’ll  be snapped back  to your original self image.

Remember, a person who sees themselves as a “quitter type of person” will almost always find some way to quit regardless of the person’s willpower or how easy their opportunity they’re in.

There are ways to improve your self-image. Some say that positive thinking can improve your self-image.

In my opinion, positive thoughts is not that effective because you can’t simply put a patch on your “true” self image and expect to see results.  So long as the person still hold negative picture of themselves, every action that the person takes will reflect their self-image.

The most effective way to improve your self-image is to first change YOU.   By first changing your mental picture of yourself, everything you do will stay consistent with the new picture.

I was reading a book by Stephen R. Covey called The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. In this book, he organized/summarized 200 years worth of self-development and popular psychology writings and found that there are two concept of self-development: Character Ethics & Personality Ethic. The “Character ethics” covers integrity, industry, humility, and simplicity. On the other hand, “Personality ethics” relates to behavior and attitude.

The seven habits that effective people consistently show are:

1) Be Proactive

This means that you must consitently take responsibility for the decisions that you make in your life. You must not blame your predicament on anything outside of yourself. In any given situation, you have the freedom to choose your response. And these response must be words such as “I will.”

2) Begin with the End in Mind

Encourages the use of your imagination to visualize a future for yourself (positive affirmations). A simple question of, ” what do you want to be when you grow up?”  This is a very important habit because if you don’t make an effort to visualize who you are and what you want in life then you allow outside sources to decide your future.

3) Prioritize

This is possibly the most difficult of all the habits to follow but is self-explanatory. You must accomplish the task that are the most important.

4) Think win/win

Relates to interpersonal leadership that allow everyone to succeed without any losers. Its a frame of mind that you have, which allows everyone you work with to benefit from your interaction. The important traits of a win/win mindset are: integrity, maturity, & abundance mentality.

5) Seek first to understand…then to be understood

Focuses on being a really GOOD listener. When someone is speaking to us, the natural response is to listen autiobiography: agree/disagreeing and asking questions/giving advice from our experience. This is not the proper way to listen.

6) Synergize

Focuses on teamwork. You will accomplish your goal a lot faster by working in team in which allows you and other members to share your individual insights.  By doing this, results previously unseen, are accomplished.

7) Sharpen the Saw

You must improve every aspect of your life such as your physical, social/emotional, mental, and spirituals well being. You must refresh your life so that you can consistently practice the previous six habit. Live your life to the fullest.
