Working At Your Business vs Working On Your Business

If you are like many home-based professionals, you may spend a lot of time working at your home-based business while spending little time working on your home-based business. There is an important distinction between working at your business and working on your business, and both things are important to your continued success. When you are working at your business, you are doing the actual work that your customers or clients have asked you to do – writing the articles, selling the products, baking the cookies, or whatever it is that you do in your business. When you are working on … Continue reading →

What are Blogs?

Blogs have only been around for the last little while. They first appeared in 1993, gained a little in popularity in 1997, but in 1999 they really took off. Today, it’s estimated that two new blogs are created every second, with 1.6 million postings a day, which come out to 18.6 posts per second. Yes, I’m sure I contribute to that. . . A blog is an online journal, so to speak. It’s a site where you collect your thoughts and ideas and post them for others to see. Most blogs are informal, while others are professional. Let’s take a … Continue reading →

People Who Take up More Than a Fair Share of Your Time (and Energy)

I recently came back from a work event that I had coordinated and organized. As usual, there were about a dozen individuals out of over two hundred that seemed to be at my side or in front of my face throughout the entire event asking me one question after another. Whether they were asking for favors, clarification, or just wanting to share their opinions with me, they definitely consumed more than their fair share of my time and energy. In our home business operations, we all have those customers and clients who tend to demand far more of our time … Continue reading →

The Customers Responsibilities

Recognizing and planning is a vital part of facing the risks we do everyday. Insurance is something we purchase in order to cover the losses the insurance policy covers, or those things that can be covered by an insurance policy. It’s all about dollars, and when a customer suffers a loss, it’s all about the insurance policy covering the costs they contracted to cover. When someone suffers a loss the insurance company doesn’t always just write a check, depending on the extent of the loss, the insured customer will be expected to provide details and in some cases proof of … Continue reading →

Educate Your Customers

Thinking about prospects and customers ONLY as potential sales and dollar signs can get you in to trouble with your target market. Not that you aren’t in business to make money, but customers can truly sense if you are just in it for the dough. Think of ways you can share information and educate your customers and you’ll do a much better job of connecting. Have you ever heard someone say something like, “I really like working with Bob, he knows his stuff!” Or “I didn’t know there was so much to understand about tires.” Consumers want to feel confident … Continue reading →

Other City Bans on Disposable Plastic Bags

Posted on by

Yesterday was a big day for environmentalists – Los Angeles passed an ordinance to ban the use of plastic bags within the next year. But, LA is not the only city trying to get rid of plastic. (This image is from MorgueFile.) In October of last year, all stores in Portland, Oregon went plastic bagless after the state legislature failed to pass a state ban. However, knowing that some customers were going to forget, the city spent $10,000 on radio and bus ads to remind them. City officials also gave away 10,000 free reusable bags. Austin, Texas seems to be … Continue reading →

What Is MLM?

If you are anything like me, when you first started looking into work-at-home opportunities, you may have been a little confused by some of the opportunities that you saw advertised online and elsewhere. In particular, ads for work-at-home opportunities that mentioned MLM had me scratching my head. Since I did not know anything about MLM, I passed over all of the ads that mentioned it. Today, I decided to educate myself a little about MLM so that others who are looking to work from home can learn what it is if they don’t know about it already. MLM stands for … Continue reading →

Take Extra Time to Find the Answers

Recently, I was at a hotel and I asked a question which the two desk clerks obviously didn’t know the answer to. One of them answered with a very sincere and apologetic, “I don’t know,” while the other one said to me “If you can wait a few minutes, I will see what I can find out.” Ordinarily, I would have been quite understanding and appreciate the apologetic “I don’t know.” After all, I would much rather someone simply tell me when they do not know the answer than to try to bluff. But, I realized that the clerk who … Continue reading →
