Are Your Business Habits Fostering Success?
Order is not just heaven's first law it is essential to progress. Where there is clutter, dirt or chaos, confusion develops and the way ahead soon becomes blurred. Important tasks tend to get forgotten in an effort to deal with the urgency of the chaos and confusion that surrounds you. Concentrate on getting into the habit of keeping your surroundings tidy and your mind will be freed to focus on what is timely and important.
All action starts in the brain, so it becomes imperative to teach your brain how to set goals!! When the goal is set, see, feel and believe with all your heart in your goal, then start making plans towards it's ultimate fulfillment. Learn to research your chosen business niche and make every effort to educate yourself on each minute detail. The habit of focusing on your ultimate goal will become one of your most important habits, and is usually the one that most people who fail have neglected.
The buck does not stop with education. Research and education are worthless if action is not taken to fulfill the ideas gained. Each week you should go through a routine of study, planning and the implementation of your plans. Plans tend to work best when they are implemented.
Get into the habit of prioritizing your work. The object should be to work smart not just hard! Running a successful home business can be extremely demanding. If you are a young parent with children, successful habit forming becomes even more of a priority. When you run a home business the demands on your time are phenomenal, so to able to succeed without feeling overwhelmed all the time, requires that your organization becomes routine enabling you to achieve your desired result in the shortest possible time.

Home Based Business For Women
Like hundreds of thousands of stay-at-home moms, you too can make money from the comfort and safety of your own home, all while your toddler sleeps, while you do laundry, even while on vacation with your family.
Never in history has it been easier for women to make money online. And never before have busy moms had such a viable, legitimate opportunity to start their very own business and achieve the financial freedom they previously only dreamed about.
Working out of the home often means juggling multiple tasks and wearing many hats. But look out. When there is so much to do that there is little time left over for sales and marketing activity, sales can dry up and often do. Here are some ways to avoid that.
1. Monthly Focus – Each month, grab your calendar and see which holidays are coming up. Then focus some type of activity around them. At least minimally, setup a direct mail campaign through the U.S. Post Office site (usps.com) in these quick steps:
Choose one of their postcards.
With their online tools, edit the back with a quick note, sale of some type & referral request.
Load an Excel document of addresses, pay and send.
2. Ad Campaign - Plan ahead with advertising representatives by gathering their media kits and asking about special deals or rates they may have for you. Then follow up and plan a 12- to 16-month campaign, even if it’s just a small classified that runs regularly. That way you’ll always be covered whether you’re too busy to care or not. You can always supplement with
cross-promotional pieces. But at least, set up a foundation to get you through the year.
For inexpensive ads to run throughout the year, check out neighborhood newspapers and free or cheap magazines and papers that are placed inside public libraries, large grocery stores and country-type restaurants. PennySavers and Thrifty Ads are other sources.
3. Regular Income Stream - Don’t just have all large projects. Set up a few (or several, depending upon your budget needs) smaller, regular income-producing projects to generate weekly / monthly income. And maintain a steady flow as much as possible. In other words, if five regular, smaller jobs pay the day-to-day bills, once one of them quits or runs out of work for you, replace it as soon as possible so that you maintain your steady ‘five’ as much as possible.
Some people setup affiliate programs in this manner; selling something for someone else and earning a percentage or profit for selling. They target so much income from one source of revenue stream to cover a certain portion of expenses. And if this runs out of steam, they beef up promotions or switch to another affiliate program. Learn more about affiliate optionsfrom a place like Commission Junction (cj.com). Or in your favorite search engine, type in ‘affiliate programs’ and see which ones are popular.
So when you juggle, remember to mix in SOME type of regular sales and income generating opportunities. Keep your home based business focused on generating business and you will be successful.
One home based business any woman can start in 3 easy steps is the Plugin Profit Site. This combines all of the elements of a successful business you can run from home online. A website, quality products, email marketing, list building techniques, advertising and marketing support and much more.

Protect Your Business by Performing a Background Check
It is a routine for corporations to perform background checks on their hiring prospects before they make a hiring decision. Background checks reveal more information than that you gain from resumes or face-to-face interviews. For some jobs, screening is required by federal or state law. Job applicants and current employees may be asked to submit to background checks. The recent emphasis on security has increased that likelihood.
Contractor fraud is at an all time high. Background checks help businesses to verify the identify and license of potential contractors. Contractor complaint search shields the lights on the reputations of the contractors you're dealing with.
1. What can you get from a background check report?
A background check report aggregates public records from many sources created by government agencies. Besides verifying the identify of an individual, a report usually includes: vehicle registration, credit records, criminal records, education records, court records, medical records, military records, state licensing records, and drug test records.
2. Who Conducts Background Checks?
There are many companies that specialize in employment background checks or pre-employment screening. Those companies range from employment screening companies to online data brokers. While an employment screening company may offer detailed and customized background checks at a premium, you can get instant background check reports from an online background check website at a much lower price. Large corporations often contract out the background checks to an employee screening company. Small business are likely utilize an online data brokers to get fast reports.

The Greatest Entrepreneurial Secret
When you're the recognized expert, the press calls on you when they need information and options ? and prints your ideas. When you're the recognized expert, publishing companies want to print your book. When you're the recognized expert, people are willing to pay for your advice, knowledge, goods, and services. And it really doesn't matter what fee you charge.
So, how do you become viewed as the recognized expert? If you're an expert in your field already, it's a matter of letting your market know about your expertise. One of the fastest ways to be proclaimed an expert is to make it easy for the media to call you an expert.
Newspaper, magazine, and newsletter publishers have to fill their pages every issue with material that serves and benefits their readers. All you have to do is make it easy for them to do their job, and they'll gladly call you an expert. The easiest way to help them is publish an informational booklet that they can draw on for filler.
Here's how to create your booklet. During your most creative time of day, grab a cup of coffee, or a glass of juice, and sit down with a piece of paper and pencil. Brainstorm ideas that people need to know in your area of expertise. Jot down the simple and the sublime, the obvious and the esoteric. Use reverses ? do this, don't do this. Apply ideas from other areas to your area of expertise. Write things down that people haven't thought of and stuff everybody knows. Write down 50 to 100 ideas.
Next day, sit down with your list, and put a check mark by 20 to 50 of these ideas that no one else is really talking about or that are critical to the success of your profession or your customers. Then every day, two or three times a day, write just two paragraphs on each of the topics. Don't cover them in depth, just get things going. If you have short examples, use them.
After two or three weeks, you'll end up with two paragraphs on lots of topics that editors can use for filler, and readers will pay to read ? you'll have a short publication that is a wealth of information. Add this copyright notice to the title page: ?Copyright 1996 your name. All rights reserved. Permission to reprint quotes and excerpts is given and encouraged. Please include the following credit line: Reprinted from Your title, your name, your toll-free telephone number. Take this to a printer, typeset, create a cover, put a price of $9.95 on the cover, and print a thousand copies.
Find publications to send it to. Don't limit them to your current markets. You?ll be surprised at the publications that need what you have to offer. Look at magazines that come across your desk. Mail to the managing editor. They're responsible for the publication getting out, and will steer your booklet to the right person, or keep it themselves for their deadline. Look at Newsletters in Print located in the reference section of your public library. This guide lists contact information for small newsletters listed by interest. Look at other publication directories such as Standard Rate and Data Service (SRDS). Review the directories of associations for their newsletters.
Mail your publication along with a cover letter that points out how this information is important to readers, that they can reprint it with the credit line, and offer to write a custom article for their readers. Consider including a testimonial letter from a satisfied client. Consistently mail to publications, sending out a few everyday.
Expect the phone to ring with orders from readers wanting to order the your booklet, and expect checks to arrive in the mail for your publication. Send out your publication promptly with an offer for your other products and services. These orders will lead to future business.
Expect editors to contact you to write more. You're on your way to being positioned as an industry expert. Then clients will call you about your services, and they won't care what you charge.
