What Jesus taught

Sometimes we make it MUCH more than it needs to be.

http://www.youversion.com/bible/asv/john/13/34 says:

"A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another."

Did you get that? Jesus loved us and commanded us to do likewise?

Does that mean I'm supposed to DIE for you?

Does that mean I'm supposed to make sure you have the comforts you need before I comfort myself?

Jesus taught it and showed it.

Merry Christmas....

Learn The Right Way To Choose Your MLM Company ...

Every opportunity on this page meets the criteria of number four, i.e. low startup costs.

It does not make sense for folks with very little income and savings to pay THOUSANDS of dollars to enter a program when those dollars will be needed for advertising and other operational costs.

Selecting a Home Based Business

How to Start a Home Based Business for Stay at Home Moms

Following these 5 easy steps on how to start a home based business for stay at home moms will have you working in your shorts and earning an extra income in a very short amount of time.



Step 1- Research Legitimate Home Based Businesses:



No matter what business you are thinking of, always first look for legitimate home based businesses.



You could sit at your computer and Google search "Legitimate Home Based Business", all day long and receive pages full of promising looking opportunities, but you can't be sure they are real.



A real legitimate home business will have full company support and a phone number, kind of like the old days when your mom dealt with Avon.



Select the company you are interested in and call the support line to ask for company references.



The next thing you'll do from the comfort of your home is call those references and ask how they are doing with the product you are thinking of promoting.



If the reports are good, then also consider step #2.



Step 2- Money Making Opportunities:



Opportunities to make money are all over the internet, but the question is: "which one is best for a stay at home mom with kids, pets and other responsibilities?"?



When you think of a work at home businesses you also must consider your working hours around your other responsibilities.



Work at home moms aren't just sitting in front of a computer playing on Facebook all day.



They have kids, pets and house chores to deal with also.



Make sure you choose a home business that allows you the time you need to be a multi tasker, and still see huge rewards from your efforts.



With that said, you may want to consider an internet home business as in step #3.



Step 3- Internet Home Business:



An internet home Business based on Multi Level Marketing (MLM) is a perfect stay at home mom business.



The MLM internet home business of today allows for flexible hours and long term residual pay based on just one sale.



If you are even a little bit internet savvy, you could be earning an extra income in a few short weeks while still walking the dog and picking up the kids from school.



Just be sure to find a Multi Level Marketing program that pays atleast 5 levels deep. These secure long term residual commissions for many years after your first sale.



4th- How to Start a Business:



Let's assume you have made the choice to be a stay at home mom and have found the business you would like to pursue, now you simply need to know how to start a business.



To start your own business does not have to be complicated or time consuming.



A few hours a day between changing diapers or packing lunches is all that is required.



Just set a few hours aside to devote to your new home business as you would if you were still working a 9 to 5 at your old job.



If you followed the advice above, and have found a legitimate home business, you'll have plenty of studying to do. Get a cup of coffee, pen, paper and writing tablet, then just sit at your desk or sofa, and read the sales procedures.



If you have joined an MLM program, you'll also have an upline you can call on for support.



Grab another cup of coffee, get your cell phone, and make that call! Your upline will be happy to help you because if you don't make money, they don't make money!



5th- Starting Your Own Business:



Starting your own business has it's rewards.



Your dreams of replacing windows, painting the home or buying a new car are all available to you if you remember one thing:



It's called a "Work at home business" because you actually have to do a little work!



So when starting your own business, treat it like a business and set aside some time to learn about your program. The long term rewards will be well worth your early efforts.



Keep these last few thoughts of how to start a home based business for stay at home moms in your head while you are searching for a new work at home business strategy.



a. Look for a Company with Low Up Front Start Up Costs.



b. Check to be sure it has Minimal Time Investment to allow you to still get the kids, walk the dog, or just take a nappy if you feel like it.



c. Always choose the business that has Large Commission Potential, and those would be MLM programs.

Coaching Club

Below is an email received from a friend...

In a private consultation I had last week, I was talking with a very smart woman who happened to be new at online marketing.

We were going over her autoresponder series – a week-long series of lessons on selling real estate in this down economy – and we were talking about the words she was using in her text.

What I liked about what she had written was that the language was casual and "real" sounding, rather than the artificial, overly formal "corporate" style that most people end up writing their first time around.

In other words, she'd write things like "Do you remember back in the 'good old days' of real estate -- just a couple of years ago -- when all you had to do was list a home, and you'd get 5 offers to buy it? Well here's how to go back in time as soon as tomorrow."

That's refreshing to read, and much better than "Circa 2007, the real estate market was growing at a momentous clip, and offers followed rapidly behind the posting of a home on the multiple listing services. Since that time, the industry has entered into a precipitous decline, as housing inventory nationwide has ballooned, while the number of buyers has plummeted. What follows is a solution to that problem."

See what I mean?

One draws you in, and quickly absorbs you into a real conversation. You forget you're reading and instead enter into some sort of a trance as you follow the story and become involved. (Yes, even in just two lines of text!)

The other just puts you off, makes you conscious that you're reading something, spending your time, and prevents you from any emotional connection at all with the text.

I suppose that the more formal kind of text might work if you were writing technical papers or clinical studies for an industry publication, but it just doesn't work when you are writing your website, your blog posts, your product literature, your autoresponders or your advertisements.

And just about everything you do for your online business is "writing" on some level or another.

So how do you know what to write, or how to write it?

Well, that all comes back to this month's topic in the Coaching Club -- Knowing Your Customer.

Here are some things to think about, with regards to your target prospect, when writing for your business.

* Are your prospects expert or novice with this topic?

* Are they trying to prevent a problem or are they trying to solve a problem?

* Are they at the beginning of their search or near the end?

* Are they just researching or ready to buy?

* What are their beliefs about the topic?

How do you know ANY of these things?

Well, you'd know them automatically, once you knew who your customer was. For example, let's talk about my client's target market: real estate agents, looking for buyers.

* Are they experts with real estate? Yes. But they care more about selling a house today in their neighborhood, rather than about real estate statistics nationwide.

* Are they trying to prevent or solve a problem? Clearly, they want to solve the problem of "houses are hard to sell these days." What they want is to find more people to sell houses to -- since there are plenty of houses available to sell at the moment.

* Are they at the beginning of their search or at the end? They've probably been looking for a solution to this problem for a year or two. Chances are, they are disillusioned and depressed because nothing they've done recently -- lawn signs, networking, open houses, newspaper ads -- is working any more. What they want is something new, that will work TODAY.

* Are they just researching or ready to buy? I bet that once someone hears what this client is offering, they'd instantly understand why it works, and would sign up in an instant.

* What are her target's beliefs about the topic? Well, they probably think that real estate used to be easy to sell, because it really was true that all they had to do was put a house up for sale and they'd get a half dozen offers that day, or soon after. It was THAT easy. And they all wish it were easy like that again.

This last point is truly critical, and a point not made often enough.

It's very hard to change someone's beliefs. Changing your beliefs means that you've got to admit that you were wrong about your belief in the past -- and no one likes to admit they were wrong.

So if you can write your advertisements and marketing materials to agree with your customer's core beliefs, you are more likely to get him to agree with the rest of what you are saying.

That's why telling a story about the good old days -- a time that ALL real estate agents wish they could go back to -- is so powerful. Because it taps into the deepest, most basic desires of her customers.

You should do the same.

So how did my client know what her own target prospect believes?

She got to know her prospect.

You should do the same.

What does Warren Buffet have to do with BiTron?

Did you know that some of the most successful Products ever
manufactured, were brought to the market by people just like you, who

went on to earn millions and millions of dollars?

Love it or hate it, Network Marketing is here to stay and is becoming
a MAJOR FORCE of economic growth around the World.

- World Famous Business Tycoon Warren Buffet's recent acquisition was
   Pampered Chef, a Network Marketing Company.
- The World's 2 largest cosmetic companies, Avon and Mary Kay, are both
   network marketing companies!
- 1 out of every 6 people in Japan participate in Network Marketing and the
   number of active distributors in the US alone has doubled, just within the
   past 5 years!

So what does Warren Buffet know that most do not?

First of all, at $80,000 per share of stock in one of his companies,
he knows that the average person just cannot afford this. However,
just about anyone can afford to start their own business in Network
Marketing. I mean, it's not much more than the cost of a dinner and a
movie for two and a night on the town.

Perhaps this is why one of Warren Buffet's largest acquisitions of the
last few years was a Billion Dollar Network Marketing Company.

Warren also knows that conventional advertising is losing its punch
and amongst other things, Network Marketing is the perfect way to
reach more people.

- People are inundated by over 3000 messages every single day
- Tivo and other DVR's allow consumers to eliminate commercials entirely
- People are becoming numb to the marketing of major companies and
would rather deal with people they know or know of.

IN THIS NEW AGE A NEW WAY IS NEEDED TO
BREAKTHROUGH ALL THE CLUTTER!!

Ask yourself J, who do you trust more, your friend or a billboard?

In a recent study by Euro RSCG (one of the largest advertising
agencies in the world) it was found that consumers get most of their
information from:

- Word of mouth (34%)
- Web sites (20%)
- Advertising (13%)

Furthermore, look at WHAT or WHO the source was...

- Referrals by colleagues or family (40%)
- Magazines (15%)
- Print ads (4%)
- TV ads (4%)
- Billboards (1%)
- Radio (0%)

So, J, now you can see why financial luminaries including Warren
Buffet, Robert Kiyosaki, Donald Trump, Paul Zane Pilzer and even
Richard Branson embrace network marketing.

They know where the smart money is going, and now that you know, you
can position yourself to profit?

Right now people from all walks of life are enjoying success with Bi-Tron!

Bi-Tron's seamless global marketing plan is allowing people from all
around the world to finally take back total control of their lives.

How about you J?

Are you ready to make your move?

If so, don't wait any longer.

Re-visit your Website to find out more about how with the Power of
Bi-Tron & Network Marketing, you can take back your life and get in on
the ground floor of the fastest growing company in the Home Based
Business Industry.

Visit http://www.colston.neverpayforfuel.com

Research Results

Independent research papers show that Bi-Tron's products reduce
emissions incredibly well!  To add to that, off-the-shelf products
don't even come close!

The secret to Bi-Tron resides in the molecular technology developed
for extreme weather conditions by the military.  Simply, Bi-Tron is
not your plain off-the-shelf additive filled with detergents and
sometimes even dangerous solids!  Bi-Tron's molecular formula enables
it to seek out and attach to metal reducing friction while improving
the way your fuel burns.

The best part is, you are protecting the longevity of your vehicle
while protecting the environment!

Here are some of the test results:

In this diesel smoke emission test, Bi-Tron Diesel Conditioner, as
seen in the chart above, when combined with regular diesel fuel can
reduce smoke emissions by as much as 85% when compared to diesel fuel
alone.  In addition, Bi-Tron reduces emissions 76% better than the
very successful off-the-shelf store bought product.

The chart above shows the reduction in hydrocarbon emissions achieved
from the application of two gasoline additives.  The Bi-Tron Gasoline
Conditioner drastically outperforms an off-the-shelf store bought
product by a considerable amount.  Surprisingly, the off-the-shelf
product increases the amount of hydrocarbon emissions created when
compared to gasoline alone.

Although Bi-Tron makes no claims about what it can do for YOU, by
trying the products and doing your own research, you can decide
whether or not Bi-Tron might be worth trying.

I invite you to take another look at your Bi-Tron Website and learn
more about the history, research and results others have gotten with
our Products.

In addition J, find out how people all over North America are sharing
Bi-Tron and getting their Products for FREE with Bi-Tron's Referral
Marketing Program.

It's simple, it's fun and its a real money maker.  Of course, if all
you want to learn about is Bi-Tron Products, that is fine too.

Why 10% Of Entrepreneurs In MLM and Network Marketing Are Successful and You’re Not!

Author: Zack Miller

We have heard it over and over again. 90% of MLM and Network marketing entrepreneurs will fail in this industry within 3-6 months. O.K., that's great. However, what can you do to change that and become part of the 10%. What are we doing that you are not? There is one technique that we use right from the beginning that separates us. The technique is called developing a business plan. This step will save you from years of failure and frustration. Unfortunately, very few entrepreneurs getting involved in MLM, even online business have ever prepared one.

This is very ironic to me. If you were starting a traditional brick and mortar business would you also forego the business plan? Would you go and put a down payment on a lot and building for lease? Then go down to the local bank and borrow money for all of your equipment and building supplies needed for your business, before ever considering a business plan for this venture? No, you won't.

The good news is, even if you would say, yes. None of the financial institutions in existence would ever lend you the money before seeing your business plan. A business plan says to a bank that you have full thought out and understand the magnitude of what you are about to do. It also shows the bank how the loan will be paid back and that you can repay it. Banks are not out to get you when they ask for these documents. These documents actually assure your own success. Banks are not stupid. If they feel you have a solid plan to success. They are going to help you, because they know if you are successful you may need more money to expand and grow in the future. Think of a business plan as a win, win for both sides.

MLM's have been and will be around for a long time. You see it all over the internet, "get involved in this brand new opportunity" or "get in while you can, ground floor opportunity, space limited." Many people new and experienced have trouble cutting through all of the smoke and mirrors.

Maybe it is the smoke and mirrors that confuses them into thinking they don't need a business plan. Maybe they feel since it is a home business, instead of a traditional business they don't have to. They feel it's less risky. It could also be because the start-up cost for a home business is nothing compared to a traditional one. They feel, they are not compromising themselves with long term financial commitments such as leases and loans? It could be they are hypnotized by how much others are earning and guess they are getting into a marketing model that makes duplication foolproof.

Now let's take it a step further. What if the Business Plan of the Network Marketing or MLM business you are considering is faulty? How are you to know? The company may not have a Business Plan. Or they do, but they're not proud of it. This is where you start thinking like a bank, because they want you to partner with them.

When searching for an online business opportunity, whether MLM or Network Marketing, to get involved with. Ask the company if you can see their business plan. This will show you how infrequent they are. When you find a company that offers their business plan to you without you asking. That is a fair indication the company has a pride and security in what they are doing and it is being done right. This will be a company you can have success with! Here's to your success!
