01 Feb 09 Home Based Business Failures… Just Let It Go!

It can be really hard to let go of past home business failures. Especially when you’ve lost a lot of money. However, if you ever want to have success working from home again you’re going to have to learn to let it go!

So how do you let past failures and start brand new in your home based business?

The first thing you have to do is forgive yourself. Sometimes you may not even know that you’re angry or disappointed with yourself until you really start to think about it. You have to acknowledge that yes, you may have failed but isn’t it better to try something great and fail than to never have tried at all?

We can be our own worst critics. In order for you to truly move on and find success you can’t keep beating yourself up for the past.

Step two? Forgive other people who may have contributed to your failure. Maybe the person you were in business with led you astray or promised you things that weren’t going to happen. Perhaps your husband or wife didn’t believe in you and that hurt your success. Whoever it is you have to forgive those people too. If you are holding onto any type of anger or resentment you are lowering your chance for success big time! So find out anyone that you may be angry at or anyone who you may blame for your failure and forgive them.

Another thing you have to do to move on from past failures is you have to stop looking back all the time! I know it can be easy to compare everything you do now with the past but don’t. When you start over you have to be able to start fresh!

Finally, in order to start over and let go of your past failures you have to encourage yourself along the way. If your goal is to make $3000 a month you’ll want to celebrate every little victory along the way. In many ways making your first $300 dollars is as good as reaching your full goal… it means you’re on the right track and you’re on your way to victory not failure! By keeping yourself encouraged through the entire process you will keep yourself focused on the positive and what you ARE accomplishing now not the past.

Let go of the past and get ready for a brighter more successful future with your home based business!

23 Jan 09 The More You Fail In A Home Based Business The More You’ll Make!

A lot of people believe that success is the absence of failure. That’s not true. In fact, if you really want to succeed in a home based business, I’m going to tell you to embrace failure!

I know it sounds crazy but it’s true, the more you fail the closer you are to success. Network marketing is nothing but a big giant numbers game and you’re going to have to talk to a lot of people to find the 3 or 4 that will change your business and your life forever.

So many people make the mistake of getting involved in a business and talking to their friends and family and getting incredibly discouraged when they say they’re not interested. Look, not everyone is going to want what you have…. Period. Instead of getting upset when people we know object to our business we should get excited because that means we are a few people closer to finding the ones who are going to be interested.

Look at it this way, you could make the best cheeseburger in the world… the entire world! And you could walk around the street trying to give it to people. Would everyone want one? Absolutely not!

Some people don’t eat meat…

Some people don’t like cheese…

Some people just wouldn’t believe it was really the greatest cheeseburger in the world…

Some people would think if you were giving it away it couldn’t possibly be any good…

There are about a million reasons why some people would choose not to eat that cheeseburger and not one of those reasons has anything to do with the cheeseburger. Get it?

However, the more people you talked to about your cheeseburger (or business) the more people you’d find who were interested. Yeah, sure you’re going to have to deal with people who don’t want it but that’s fine because that just means there will be more for the people that do!

Are you starting to get my point yet? You have to fail a lot before you can win big!

We often get the idea in our heads that if our business is really so great everyone would want to be a part of it and if even one or two people say no then it must not be that great after all. Obviously that’s just not true. Learn to embrace (and dare I say even enjoy) the failures because for every 20 people who say no chances are 1 or 2 are going to say yes and that is a victory for you and your business!

So don’t get discouraged by a few “no’s” it just means you’re that much closer to a great big yes!
