Seven Things You Must Avoid When Working From Home


People often ask me, “What can I do today to make some money from home?”. I can usually list a number of easy to implement things that can help. Today I will shift gears and touch on 7 things that must be avoided to ensure you can make good money working from home.

1. Program Jumping– If you like to join a lot of programs, and always seem to be chasing a “better deal”, this will kill you. You will be constantly starting over, and relearning product line, pay plans and different advertising systems. You will always be in learning mode, and you will never be in earning mode.

2. No DMO– If you do not have a “Daily Method of Operation”, you are probably waking up and just doing tasks for the sake of being busy. If you must work your business part time, you will always be challenged for time. If you are working your business full time, you will probably be doing a lot of thing that are not “Income Producing Activities”. You need to set up a daily plan of action, and stick with it for 90 to 180 days.

3. No Real Sponsor– If you do not have a sponsor that you are in contact at least weekly, you are in big trouble. If you are doing everything all by yourself you will be making some big mistakes. You need an active sponsor. If this is missing, you must get one. This is a critical point to your success.

4. Trying To Master Too Much At The Same Time–If you feel like you are spread thin and are not getting anything completed in your business, you are trying to master too many things at once. Go back to your sponsor and figure out the one or two things you need to master right away. Do these tasks first, and if you have extra time you can work on the third one on the list.

5. Mastering Incorrect Things– You need to be very aware of what the key Income Producing Activities are for your business. If you are mastering things that do not help your bottom line, you are almost certainly working on the wrong things.

6. Short Term Thinking– If you are worried about making money this week or next week, your time horizon is too tight. You must take a long term approach to your business, even if your needs are immediate. You have to give your business time to develop and mature. This item kills a lot of businesses before they have a change to actually succeed.

7. No Residual Component To Income– You need to make long term (residual) income from some part of your business. If you have no residual income coming in, you wake up each and every day looking for your first sale and first money of the day. When you have customers buying from over and over, you have the ability to enjoy the “life time value of the customers” versus one time sales. This strategy will quickly expand your business and will give you some predictability in your income.

I trust you can see, there are critical elements to avoid while trying to grow your business. Some items are easy to implement, and others are quite a bit harder to do. Take this advice to heart, and you will see an improvement in your bottom line relatively quickly.
