Home Based Business Tips - Can You Really Learn It All?

Posted in Home-Business on December 31, 2007

Let s make believe that there was one place you could go to in order to learn absolutely everything you would need to run a business from your home…right from startup to the day you get your first $10,000 check from Clickbank, or whoever. If such a place existed, would it really be possible to learn everything that this place had to offer? That is the question I put forth to you today and I am going to do my very best to answer it for you as well. The answer may surprise you.

On a technical level, of course, if the information is there, you can learn it. It s only when information is missing that you end up with the problem of trying to fit the pieces together. But again, we re assuming that this site is complete. It has everything you need. So can you learn it all?

As I said, technically, yes…but the reality is no..you can t. And I will explain why.

The human mind is a fascinating thing. Nobody really totally understands it. Oh we have a pretty decent idea of how it works, but the mind is so complex that nobody has all the answers…not even the experts. But one thing we pretty much agree on is that there is only so much you can retain from your years of learning. Some people have better retention than others. Some are truly gifted. But your average person is going to retain about 10% of what he sees…first time around.

Translated into cold hard numbers, that means that about 10% of the information at this teach all site is going to actually end up being used by your brain. The rest of it is going to fade like yesterday s news. You won t even remember seeing it.

Pretty disheartening…wouldn t you say? Imagine spending $30,000 a year in college and forgetting 90% of everything you learned. Makes you wonder how anybody gets through life. The answer is simple. It s called repetition.

See, in order to really retain anything, we have to go over it again and again and again. This was true with me when I used to memorize speeches for some of the organizations I used to belong to. Some of those speeches took me days to learn. Others took me weeks. The more you have to retain, the longer it will take to retain it.

So let s go back to our site that has all the knowledge in the world about running a business online. The only way we re going to have any real chance of learning everything there is to go over it and then use it on a daily basis. Each day, use a little bit more. Eventually, you will see that your brain has absorbed quite a bit of knowledge. As you do this, and as you use it, you will also see that your business grows. That s when you know that you ve REALLY learned all there is…if you could find all the knowledge.

Well, in my signature you ll find a review of what is no doubt the closest thing to total knowledge that I have seen in my 4 plus years of marketing online. I can honestly say that this is one product that truly delivers on its promises.

And coming from me (I hate most of the stuff out there) that is saying quite a lot.

Knowledge can never die…Get as much as you can.

To YOUR Success,

Steven Wagenheim

Make Money From Your Home Based Business - The Power Of Picking The Proper Path

Posted in Home-Business on December 30, 2007

It always amazes me how many people spend weeks, months and even YEARS working at their home based businesses before making their very first dollar. And it s never because they aren t smart enough, or motivated enough to make a profit, rather - they are almost universally well equipped in both of these categories.

The problem, in my experience is what I refer to as the “perilous pursuit of perfection” or the practice of trying to learn absolutely everything - every strategy, technique, tip, attack and approach possible before applying what you have learned to make some real money. Is learning a bad thing? Of course not! But is trying to master and seize every new opportunity that comes down the pike going to get you closer to your goal of financial independence any faster? It most assuredly is not either. As a matter of fact, in my opinion, it is going to actually hold you back. You ve got to pick a path, and stick with it. It really is that simple.

It s funny because in religious circles, you often times see the same problem as the home business marketplace. People are always seeking the next best thing - the next higher form of spirituality, self - help or more advanced approaches to finding god. Yet, there is the old parable of the three wise old religious men, each traveling up the mountain on a separate road in their quest for god.

They pass each other numerous times on the way up, and eventually, when they all get to the top, they realize there are many paths to get to the same place. The key is simply to pick one and follow it up. But if you pick 12 - and start and stop each an eighth of a mile in, you are never even going to make it up the first ravine.

My advice to everyone starting a home based business is simple. Find and model your efforts after people who have gone before you and have done it successfully. Make a commitment to a certain way of success, and as long as your due diligence was done properly, if you emulate those who are working it well, you too will share in the great rewards. If it isn t working and you find the mountain rife with rocks and obstacles - find another way up.

But not until you ve stayed the course long enough to know for sure. And if you need to pick another road, be doubly sure that this one will indeed get you where you want to go. The only recipe for failure that I know for sure, and that re-appears throughout the fabric of most home business failures, is the one that tries all of the ingredients available when making dinner! You wouldn t do that every night when you sit down to eat, nor should you do it when starting and planning a business. Stay with it and keep your eyes on the prize, and like so many others who are enjoying tremendous success from home, so to will you, I promise!
