When building a home based business it crucial that you follow the 6 keys to success that I have listed below.  The reason that you should take head it that you want your home based business to truly be a business and not just a hobby.  You must remember the reasons why you started your business and following these 6 keys will be easy for you.

1.  Build a business for the long term. – In your day to day business your are going to face obstacles.  This is not something that is just unique to business.  Having problems are a part of life.  You will have road bumps and challenges.  Don’t give up on your business just because of this.  It is a part of the journey.  You can’t be “just trying this thing out for 30 days.”  You have to think long term.

2.  Be aware of the emotional rollercoaster. – In the beginning of your business you will go through the emotional rollercoaster.  One minute you are up and one minute you are down.  You are excited one minute and the next minute you are not so excited.  You can come out a meeting or webinar for your primary company and you are “jacked out of your mind!”  You then call your friends and family and they think that you are crazy and you are back down again.  Just realize that this is normal and that everyone goes through it.

3.  Make a decision that you are going to be a leader. All the rewards happen once you become a leader.  You don’t need to know how or what to do.  Once you make the decision that you are going to lead, then the universe will rise up to help you.

4.  Get to work. Get busy trying to find out what you need to do to move the ranks in your primary business and just do it!  The alternative is the 40/40/40 plan.  Work for 40 years for 40 hours a week only to retire on 40% of your income.  Instead, put your all into the next 5 years in your home business and be able to retire and not have to work or worry about money.  What you have to realize that you are compressing 40 years of work into 5 years and that is going to take some commitment and dedication.

5.  Enjoy the process. Whether you in the learning stage or a seasoned pro, enjoy whatever stage you are in right now.

6.  Save your money. If you are going  to become wealthy you need to have money saved.  You don’t want to make tons of money only to spend it on toys that you don’t need.  I’m not saying that you should not have fun with your money but don’t break the bank by living beyond your means.  Always pay yourself first no matter how much money you make.  If you can’t save when you make a small amount then you will not save when you start to make the big money.

I hope that these keys to success will help you as you build your home business!

To Your Prosperity!

Everyone knows that I love quotes.  It is something about the wisdom of the words that inspire my spirit.  Well I decided to take a break from the network marketing quotes that I usually find to celebrate love this Valentine’s Day. I hope you enjoy.  Please tell me which one is your favorite!  Also share one that you might have.

10.  “Harmony is pure love, for love is a concerto” – Lope DeVega

9.  “Take away love, and our earth is a tomb.”– Robert Browning

8.  “To love is to receive a glimpse of heaven.”– Karen Sunde

7.   “In dreams and in love there are no impossibilities – Janos Arnay

6.  “Since love grows within you, so beauty grows.  For love is the beauty of the soul.” – St. Aurelius Augustine

5.  “Love is the emblem of eternity; it confounds all notion of time; effaces all memory of a beginning, all fear of an end. – Germaine De Stael

4.  “True love is eternal, infinite, and always like itself.  It is equal and pure, without violent demonstrations: it is seen with white hairs and is always young in the heart – Honore de Balzac

3.  “Love doesn’t make the world go round, Love is what make the ride worthwhile.” – Franklin Jones

2.  It is with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye -  Antoine de Saint – Exupery

There has been a lot of buzz about Momentis, the newest energy company to come onto the network marketing scene.  If you are reading this article then you must be looking for more information about this company and thinking about joining.  Before you join I recommend that read this review in it’s entirety so that you can be sure that this is the company for you.  Also, I want to let you know that I am not a distributor for Momentis so you can be sure that this is a true unbiased review of Momentis.

Who is Momentis and What do they Market?

Momentis is the latest network marketing company that markets internet, sattelite TV, and energy services such as gas and electricity.  Momentis was established by Just Energy which is a company that supplies gas and electricity in deregulated areas in the US and Canada.  The company was started in July of 2010 and has offices in Dallas, TX and Toronto, Ontario.  The company is lead by Rebecca McDonald, Just Energy Executive Chair who according to the company website built Just Energy from the ground up.  Ms. McDonald leads the company along with Kent Hartwick who is the Just Energy CEO.

Cost to Join and Compensation Plan

The enrollment fee to join Momentis as a distributor is $299.  The company provides training and certification for new independent representatives.  New representatives are also provided with a company replicated website.  There are five ways to earn money with Momentis: Momentum Immediate Bonuses, Mentor Bonuses, MyLeadership Bonuses, MyTeam Bonuses, and Monthly Recurring Income.

Is Momentis the Energy Company to Join?

The Energy field is most certainly one to watch with 20+ states being deregulated in gas, electricity or both at the present time.  In the coming years the rest of the states are sure to follow suit.  Momentis does seem to have experienced leadership in place and is offering a service that everyone uses already.  Even with all that in place it does not guarantee that you will be successful in your business.  The Momentis marketing model relies heavily on contacting friends and family for them to switch their services from their current providers to Momentis.  This is all well and good but what about when your friends and family run out?  Who will you market to then?  That is why it is essential to learn about attraction marketing so that you can learn how to attract potential business partners and customers to your business.  As with any networking marketing company your business is only as strong as your downline and you have to find a way to build it.  You must have a system in place that will help you make money even when prospects say no to your business.

To Your Prosperity!

When I first started out marketing online I did not know what an autorepsonder was or why I needed one.  I only heard the word for the first time after I became a member of  MLSP aka My Lead System Pro. I learned that it is essential to have an autoresponder so that you can build a relationship with your list.  The autorepsonder I chose was AWeber because it was and still is highly recommended and seems to be the industry standard.

Aweber is a full service autoresponder service that features email newsletters, auto- responders and web forms, allowing internet and network marketers to not only capture leads but communicate with them using pre-written messages, which are delivered with one click of a button.

Your number one priority as a marketer is to build a reliable and responsive list…to do this you need a reliable way to communicate with them.  And using an auto responder is a good way to do that.

These are the features that you get with AWeber:

-Unlimited email messages that you can send out

-Unlimited follow up messages

-You can easily generate forms for your website of blog

-You get Statistical reports for every campaign that you send

-You can track the data for your ads

-There is no limit to the amount of broadcasts that you can do

-You get web form templates that you can design anyway that you like

-A very helpful customer service staff that is there for you 24/7

-Plus much more!

AWeber works like this:

When a customer signs up on your webform for additional training and tips, they either automatically get put on your email marketing list or they may have to confirm that they want to be on your list making them a double opt in.

You can use Aweber to send out emails automatically at anytime of the day.  You can also set up a series of emails that will go out to your list in the intervals that you select.   With an autoresponder everything is automated.   All you have to do is write the email once and it will go out to any new subscribers on your list. They also can unsubscribe automatically.

Your first priority as a marketer is to build a loyal and responsive list.  This way when you send an offer out to them they will be ready to buy.  According to research studies, people need to be exposed about seven times to a product or service before decide to buy.

If you effectively master list-building then there will be no limit on the amount of income that you can make.

Using AWeber to get prospects on your list:

By now you are probably wondering how to get prospects to your list. Well, when you drive traffic to your blog or website it is imperative that you have something of value to offer them.  Most of the time people will visit for a few seconds and may never return.  So what you need to do is to grab their attention as soon as they land on your site.  You do this by spotlighting the value that you can provide up front.

Once you have subscribers on your list, you can send them follow up messages utilizing AWeber. Don’t bombard your list with sales pitches all the time. You should mostly provide them with information that will help them with solutions to whatever their problem is.

You will come to see that as your subscribers get to know you that they will begin to trust you as you continue to send them useful information.  You must nurture your list so that they will continue to allow you to communicate and market to them.

Your subscribers will actually start to buy your products and services that you offer the longer you keep them on your list.

Using AWeber autoresponder software easily allows you to keep in contact with all your prospects 24 hours a day and 7 days a week, with you doing very minimal work.

You can get started with  AWeber for just $1 for the first 30 days, for a maximum 500 subscribers.  After the trial AWeber will cost you only $19 a month. While it is not the most inexpensive autoresponder service, it is reasonable, reliable, and has high in box deliverability.

So if you want an autoresponder service that you can count on then look no further than AWeber.  Elite marketers consistently rank AWeber at the top when it comes to autoresponder services.

If you are taking the time to read this then you must be a person that is concerned about being healthy and you are considering becoming a distributor with Akea Life.  I commend you on doing your due diligence.  In this review I will cover the company, products, compensation plan, and whether or not  Akea Life seems like a legitimate network marketing business.  I would also like to let you know that I am not a distributor with the company so you can rest assured that this is a true third party review.

Who is Akea Life?

Akea Live was founded in 2010 and is based in Raleigh, NC.  The company provides health and wellness products through the network marketing model.  The company is lead by William King.  Mr. King was inspired by longetivity hot spots – In these hot spots the people live longer than anywhere in the world.  Mr. King has held numerous executive positions including President and CEO of 900 Solutions Inc, President and CEO of Voice Tel of Austin, and Business Manager of Capital Ford.  He is also a highly knowledgeable health and wellness advodcate.

Akea Life’s Product

Akea Essentials is the first and only supplement based on longevity hot spots. Akea Essentials comes in the form of a powder that can be mixed with water or juice.  Essentials is a combination of herbs, spices, grains, whole foods, probiotics and fibers.  Essentials is made with 90% organic ingredients and is free of gluten, yeast egg, preservatives, sweeteners, dairy, salt, starch, and artificial flavoring.  This product is supposed to be good for increasing energy, immune system support, digestion, mental clarity, and it also prevents joint pain and helps with weight management.

Cost and Compensation Plan

You can join Akea Life at 3 levels with the lowest entry point being at $79.  Each package includes marketing tools, business tools, and a personal Akea website.  The compensation plan is a binary structure with one leg on the left and one leg on the right.  Akea Consultants can earn retail profit, team commissions, and various bonuses. Commissions and bonuses are paid weekly.

Is Akea Life a Good Network Marketing Opportunity?

Health and wellness is a becoming a booming  industry because people are becoming more aware of their health and about what they put in their bodies.  Akea Life seems like a good opportunity because they are in this field and they have set themselves apart by basing their supplement ingredients on the diets of people that live in longevity hot spots.  With all that said it is still not enough for you to be successful in your business.  You still must have a way to get team members into your business once your friends and family run out.  This is why I recommend that you use a marketing system to help you generate leads and help you make money even when prospects say no to your business.  If you combine online attraction marketing and traditional offline marketing techniques, then the sky is the limit for your success!

Nothing beats the excitement you feel when you first start to make money online. Ever since I got my first computer I have dreamed of being able to make a six figure income from home.

My motivation has always been simple. I want the freedom to live life on my own terms.  To be able to do what I want when I feel like it. I want to feel the security of having a regular income. Finally I want the spending power to be able to buy what I want and go where I want. Not much to ask.

I now know that I went by the long route when I set out to learn how to make money online. I wasted an enormous amount of time, energy and money on learning things I didn’t need to know and doing things that are a complete waste of time.

The most annoying thing of all was that the gurus who are reaping the amazing rewards of their success are so poor at showing others how they do it. However, they are very good at charging a lot for their information and then making it hard to understand what they mean.

Here are the lessons that I have learned. I consider that they are the real secrets of making money online.

First, start with a niche market.

I know this is different from how people do things in the real world, but in cyber space this is the best place to start. The easiest way is to pick on a group of people just like you. People with whom you share a problem.

Second, find a product that solves their problem.

There are millions of them out there.  I use a funded proposal called MLSP or My Lead System Pro.  This system teaches frustrated marketers how to make money on the internet and has affiliate programs built in that provide income while your are building your primary business.

Third, build a blog about your niche.

By doing this you will be seen as an authority in the whatever niche you choose and this will help you build credibility.

Fourth, drive traffic to that web site.

There are many ways you can do this: Social Media, Article Marketing, PPC, Solo Ads, Banner Advertising, etc.  Just be sure that you master one or two marketing techniques before you move on to learn any new ones.

Imagine my excitement when, by simply applying this formula, I started receiving e-mails saying: “Congratulations, you have a new team member or You just made a sale!”

The excitement grew when I went to my online bank account and saw the money sitting there, right under my name.

And the excitement reached fever pitch when the ‘congratulations’ e-mails started coming in ever-increasing numbers.

My advice is simple; don’t wait, use the simple formula I’ve outlined, be consistent in your marketing efforts and you will be sure to reap the rewards!

As an entrepreneur building your business can be no easy feat.  You have to be able to handle every obstacle that comes along and not let challenges stop you.  You have to be willing to take risks, goal oriented and willing to work until the job gets done.  There are certain traits that all entrepreneurs have in common and below I have listed my top 8.

8.   Entrepreneurs associate themselves with other successful people. Many time when we start off in business we find ourselves jealous of others that are more successful than us.  That is because we have always been taught to have a poverty mindset.  We must re-train our mind to have an abundance mindset so we can realize that we can have the same things that other successful people have.  So go ahead and surround yourself with others that are successful because it will help you to grow.

7.   Entrepreneurs mastermind together. Entrepreneurs can mastermind in a challenge (like the 100 Day Biz Builder Challenge) or at an event (like No Excuses Summit 3) or in an internet marketing community (like My Lead System Pro).  It does not matter how you master mind just so long as you do it.

6.   Entrepreneurs are coachable. Entrepreneurs are receptive to constructive criticism.  They know that it can only help them to get better at what they do.

5.   Entrepreneurs invest in their education. You should not be afraid to learn new things whether it’s by reading, attending a webinar, or attending a live event.  You don’t know what it is that you don’t know.   You may learn just one nugget and that nugget may be worth 10xs more than what you spent.

4.   Entrepreneurs know when to ask for help. You should know what you are good at.  Do those things yourself, but outsource the things that you don’t know because that will save you a lot of time, money and energy!

3.   Entrepreneurs manage themselves, their time, and their business well. You should always make sure that you do what most important first and then do the things that are not as critical.

2.   Entrepreneurs are not afraid to share their knowledge. Many times we are afraid to share the latest marketing technique that we have found.  There is no need for this because 95% of the people you show will not take action.  By sharing what you know you are able to connect the 5% that will take action.

1.   Entrepreneurs have a strong work ethic. That is why many of us don’t get much sleep.  There are so many things on our plates and not enough hours in the day to get them done.  That is why you must set a schedule for yourself and use a system to help you through your daily tasks as you build your business.

These are my top 8 traits of an Entrepreneur.  I know that I did not get them all.  Please comment on any that you feel I have missed.

Now that January is over and you promised yourself that you were going to do all these great things for your New Year’s Resolution like: Blog Everyday, Comment on Blogs, Create or Improve your Blog, Create or Improve your Fan Page, or (Fill in the Blank).  Are you happy with what you achieved?  Did you achieve any of the goals that you set out to do? I am asking myself these same questions.  It does not matter what level you are on in your business. You could always do better.

Below are some tips that you should implement for the rest of 2012:

1.   Dedicate 2-3 hours a day on income producing activities. They need to be things that will produce leads or drive traffic to your website, such as blogging, cutting videos, webinars, paid advertising, etc.  Do whatever your budget can afford, just remember to make the most of your time and money.  Also remember that once you get these leads to actually call them to enroll them in your primary business, affiliate program, or whatever you are promoting.

2.   Make sure you take out time to get your mind right! Even though friends and family mean well and think that they have your best interest at heart, they still can be very negative when it comes to your business.  That’s why it’s important to make sure that your listen to something inspirational everyday such as a wake up call that may be given by your favorite coach or marketing mastermind group.

3.   Stay connected with people that can help you get to the next level and actually follow their advice. Nothing upsets a coach more than a student that asks for help and then that student does not do a darn thing.  The coach is happy to get your money but is puzzled as to why you are not doing the things that your were told to do for success.

4.   There is never a perfect time to get started. A lot of times we put things off until we feel that they are just right.  Don’t worry about things being perfect!  Just start where you are right now and do continuous improvement as you go along.

5.   Don’t let the forces of evil take your attention away from your goals! What are the forces of evil? – Negative friends and family, Television (News, Reality Shows, Sit-Coms, etc), Radio (Listen to Success CDs instead of the “music” that are playing in the radio), Spending money on entertainment (Clubbing, Concerts, Movies, Going out to Dinner, Shopping, etc.).  I am not saying that you can never have any fun.  Just limit these thieves of your time and money.  Make sure that you are not letting these “fun” activities get in the way of building your business.  Get your work done first and then play.

Yes, January is gone but its not to late to make 2012 a banner year.  Get working on your goals now.  Don’t worry about 2013 sneaking up on you….You should start worrying now about Feb and March.  The end of the first quarter of the year will be here before you know it.  Let’s close out the quarter and the rest of the year on a good note!
