Even once you’re past the start-up stage of a make money from home business, there’s still plenty mistakes to be made…
And most of them are going to be made in your first year!
Here are the top five first-year mistakes to avoid:
1. Waiting for Customers to Come to You
You simply can’t do this! You have to go out and actively find customers. Talk to people, call them, meet with them, go to meetings, offer free seminars, put yourself where your clients would be – whatever you do, just don’t sit there! Continue reading →
I don’t know about you, but I see ads for home business scams everywhere – on TV, in magazines, in the classified ads, and even in my inbox.
They sound so enticing; low investments, little work and big profits.
But don’t be fooled…
I mean, yes! You can make big bucks at home in all sorts of businesses (especially those you create yourself), just be sure you check them out thoroughly before you spend your money or your time on one.
Anyway, if you’re thinking of working from home, you have to realize that at least 97.9% of the offers out there are scams – after all, if it were that easy, wouldn’t everyone be doing it by now?
So pay close attention…here are the biggest scams out there. Continue reading →
Here are some common reasons for starting a work from home business. Identifying with just one is all it takes to be a success.
1. That Great Idea!
Have you ever had a sudden inspiration? You know, one of those moments when you see a need that’s not being filled – and figure out a way to fill it. Pay more attention next time – it just might be your golden ticket.
2. Evolution of a Hobby.
Got a hobby you love and just happen to be pretty good at it? Maybe your friends consider you an expert in the area? Figure out a way to market your hobby and you’ll probably find thousands of people that will pay for your expertise.
3. Tired of Your Boss?
It’s almost a cliché to dislike your boss. They pretend to be your friend, but they’re not fooling anyone, are they? If you think you’re smarter than your boss, then prove it to everyone and start your own business. Continue reading →
So you’re thinking of starting a home business? Great! You’ll be glad you did.
You see, I love working at home! I’d sell pencils on the street before I take another J.O.B.
BUT, I’m a realist! I know working from home isn’t for everyone. Some people are cut out for it and some aren’t.
How do you know if you are? Continue reading →
Here are my “Seven Guidelines for Attaining Financial Freedom.” Simply put…
1. FOCUS ON EARNING NOT SPENDING. Place your attention on making and saving money and you’ll have less time to spend it.
2. LIVE SUBSTANTIALLY BELOW YOUR INCOME. No matter how much you make, you can always spend more. To have money, you must keep some of what you earn. Get into the habit of living on less than you make.
3. GET OUT OF DEBT. In particular, pay off your credit cards. If you can’t train yourself to keep your monthly balance paid in full, then get rid of the cards.
4. BE FRUGAL AND SAVE MONEY. Contrary to popular belief, numerous studies show that most millionaires are extremely conservative with their spending.
5. PRACTICE CASH CONSCIOUSNESS. Count your change, pay your bills on time and balance your checkbook. Know how much money you have and how much you spend.
6. REALIZE YOUR TIME HAS VALUE. Like money, spend your time wisely. As you begin to earn more money, your hourly worth increases too. Hire someone to clean, cook and take care of the lawn. Pay them a fair wage and use your extra time to make MORE MONEY.
7. HAVE A STRONG PURPOSE AND A CLEAR PLAN. Without a well designed plan for your finances, your money will disappear fast. Decide what you want to be, do and have in your life. Include your projected future income and savings. Set a goal to attain financial freedom.
There you have it – my Seven simple steps to improve your bottom line. Put them in place and you’ll start to accumulate wealth.
What’s the BIGGEST mistake work from home entrepreneurs make?
Heck! I don’t know either – but I can tell you what keeps most people – entrepreneurs included – from getting what they want in life and that is…
THEY DON’T KNOW WHAT THEY REALLY WANT!
That’s right. Most people are clueless about how to find out what they really want in life.
They’re doing what they think they ought to do, or what their parents wanted them to do, or whatever they have to do to keep up with the neighbors.
There’s a million off-purpose reasons why we end up doing what we do. I’m not going to list them all because it doesn’t particularly matter why anyway.
What matters is finding out what we want!
It’ll open an endless supply of happiness and, often times, wealth (as long as you know how to manage money, but that’s for another day).
Fortunately, the Make Money From Home Today “Basic Training Manual” holds the keys to getting clear about what you want and how to make it happen.
It’s based on years of personal experience and trial-and-error that produced phenomenal results for me and my family.
And I’d like to pass it on…
Here’s a little taste of what you get when you register for the “Basic Training Manual.” Continue reading →

In a previous make money from home blog post, we talked about how many affiliate marketers want to create their own products but don’t know where to start.
So, rather than investing in their own product they continue to promote other people’s products.
Well, I can certainly understand where they’re coming from.

Lots of make money from home affiliate marketers want to get into product creation but they don’t because they’re scared and think it’ll be too time consuming or too difficult.
Well, I am here to tell you it’s not. While creating a product may seem like a challenge, there are some very clever ways you can go about creating products that are both quick and easy.
One of the quickest ways to create your own product is to have someone else do it for you.
And no, I’m not referring to outsourcing it to someone else. OR stealing someone’s hard work – that would be bad and wrong.
Then what am I talking…? Continue reading →
I hear it all the time in the make money from home niche, “Don’t do this!” or “Don’t do that because it doesn’t work.”
That’s what I call an absolute.
And let me tell you, you need to watch out for these because “absolutes” are probably responsible for more business and marketing failures than anything else combined – and I’m not kidding.
But why are these absolutes so dangerous? The easiest way to explain it is with an example. Continue reading →
