Advantages of Working From Home

The best one of all is that home is where you feel most comfortable,so this should relate to a better performance.

You can dress casually unless going to meet a customer of course.

There are also certain tax advantages,you can claim a percentage of your mortgage,electricity,and phone bill as long as they are legitimate expenses.

You will probably already have most of the equipment you already need,a computer ideally with a broadband internet connection, some kind of filing system a printer,and of course a phone with an answer phone of some sort.

You can set up some kind of recruiting website tied to an auto responder, a simple one page site will do some times refered to as a capture page,or use the offial t+ one if you prefer.

Some prefer to use the COE methods but advertising on Overture or Google is working for many,you can also use some of the traffic exchanges most are free so that's an added bonus.

If like me you live away from larger cities you may not be able to get all your office needs locally,never mind at a decent price,so I use a company called Viking Direc,who decent products and prices along with fast delivery here's a link

Rich Dad (how the rich think)

It was always a bit of a puzzle to me why guys like Richard Branson and Stelios were richer than me ,yet they didn't seem to be miles smarter then me.

I have always been interested in what makes people tick,so out of curiosity one day I picked a book,called Rich Dad Poor Dad,which basically explains some of the ways ,that the rich think differently from the poor and the middle classes.

The poor and the middle classes will say things like I can't afford that,while a rich person would think How can I afford that?

Robert Kiyosaki the author uses the contrast between his poor dad a highly educated teacher ,who although he was well paid always struggled financially,and his friends dad (rich dad),who was not so well educated but went on to become one of the richest men in Hawiai.

The first two books in the series Rich Dad Poor Dad and The Cash flow Quadrant are basically setting the ground work for following books in the series.

Robert uses personal examples from his own background to illustrate many of the points,one of the themes seems to me to be accepting responsibilty for your own life or as he puts it "mind your own business" basically run your life as a business.

Personaly I have found Retire Young Retire Rich to be one of the most interesting books in the series explaining things like the difference between good debt and bad debt,the need to become financially literate,the need for a plan,and how words are tools for the brain.

Throughout the whole series of books,the chamges both mental and emotional that are needed if you want to be rich,how to avoid being an average investor,among may other things to mention in a blogspot.

Along with every book there is a free audio download that expands on the themes,that you have been reading about.

Internet Resources

There is no doubt that the training avaliable at our College of Excellence is great,however there is nothing wrong with enhancing your knowledge,especially with regards to sales.

Despite the stance that there is no seling involved with Telecom Plus I would beg to differ,we are all sales men in some way or another if you think about it,after all didn't you have to persuade your partner/spouse that you were the best bet,thing since slices white bread,isn't that a form of sales?

An excellent source of information and resources I came across was a site called Unlock The Game,this is owned by a gent called Ari Galper who teaches a system of selling where you actually avoid coming over as a pushy sales type.
This is something to be avoided at all costs,Ari teaches you how to be an effective solution seller,where you are looking to see what problems you can solve for your customers and potential business partners (ID's or CGA's).

Seems to me that some people come onto this business from their existing field and expect ,to have a similar level of competence and reward,forgetting that they are having to learn and master a totally new set of skills.

Here's a link to the site and you can make your own judgement
www.unlockthegame.com

I'll be adding further resources as and when they become available.

There are other people who ahve influenced and changed some of mt opinions such as Randy Gage,Robert T Kiyosaki and Tim Sales who I will hopefully post some more information about shortly.

Whats Wrong With A Job?

Whats wrong with a job well lots of things.

Ask yourself a few questions.

Can you sell your job or pass it on with your estate?

Are you paid what you are really worth?

Do you like or can you choose the people you work with?

Is your job really all that secure?

Can you choose when to work?

Do you like being told what to do?

Do you actually enjoy your job?

I think you'll agree that in most cases apart form the last question the answer is a resounding no.

This is probably the main reason most people are unhappy with the get a job situation,there is little to no personal satisfaction to be found in being a wage slave where you are told what to think,the hours you work,who you work with,etc etc.

By virtue of the fact that you will be paid the going rate for the job maybe a little more if you are lucky,the boss is effectively deciding what clothes you wear,where and when you go on holiday,and how well you live in general.
Not forgetting in a lot of cases that when the boss gets it wrong it's the guys at the coal face,that get sacrificed I have personal experince of this as I'm sure most of you do.

All the above and more are mighty good reasons why anybody should take a serious look at joining Telecom Plus and taking 2 or 3 years and building a steady business,that will give them time and financial freedom.

Once you achieve freedom from salaried work(paid slavery) you will then be free to look at all the other deals you could only concive of as pipe dreams before.

All in return for an hour a days effort on average,and being willing to accept that not everybody you speak to will accept,your offer of saving them money on their utility bills,or joining you as a business partner.

I can't imagine why any one would want to accept sacrificing the best part of their life slaving away in an office,factory etc,just to make their boss or company richer and richer.

When if they would just step outside their personal comfort zone, be a little different they can build a lifestyle they really want and more importantly enjoy.

So if you would like to take a serious look at an opportunity that can help you build a lifestyle you only dream of just now go to www.telecomplus.org.uk/879411 and think about what you really want from life and see if you can find a reason not to join Telecom Plus.

Why Telecom Plus?

Why Telecom Plus compared to the masses of other opportunities?

For me it was the fact that there are many ways to get customers,six services in all,phone,mobile internet connection,domestic gas/electricity and freephone numbers with line rental soon to be added.

Services that almost every household in the Uk uses,all can be had at a cheaper rate than most providers with the added benefit of all coming on one bill,before the annual cashback for taking two or more services is included,with savings of over £400 achievable.
So the customer base is high in fact there is almost nobody in the country that can't benefit in some way .

This is before the opportunity of offering the business the itself is included,a business that can have positive life altering results.
Remember that you are offering time and financial freedom this is the true business,in exchange for some effort and of course a cash investment.
In fact the only way to fail is to stop or quit,although you can take a break from Telecom Plus if life gets in the way.

It seems to me that as long as you stay with it and put in some honest effort success is almost gauranteed, when it happens is of course variable as with anything there is an element of luck too.

Support is widely available form your upline should you get stuck with something,I personally have been very lucky,having a great deall of support from Hamish Hayward and Chris Duckles in particular.

Hamish has an excellent blog at http://utilityvalue.blogspot.com
This covers some of the more technical aspects of internet recruiting and is well worth a visit.

Here you will find advice on recruiting new team members,and getting your advert listed on search sites like,Yahoo Wannadoo,Google Ask Jeeves and so on.

Initial Thoughts

These are just some initial thoughts,and any feedback would be welcome,if you could give constructive criticism,along with any features you would like to see these would also be welcome.
Why Network Marketing
I look on network marketing as a personal franchise,which gives the individual the chance to compete on an even playing field.
You do not have to a rocket scientist,one of the beautiful people,or even super popular to be succesfull.
All you need is a willingness to put in the effort,work with and build your team,an opportunity you are comfortable with and bags of determination along with a willingness to learn.
Another key quality is the ability to think like a self employed person,you will have to go out and find customers and team members,and be willing to live with the results that follow.
Any new network marketer will soon realise that unlike a traditional job where you do some work and get paid either weekly or monthly in your network marketing business the result may follow some time after you have put in the effort,it's aslo possible to build your business while keeping your day job,without putting everything on the line,something your spouse would not like.
It's important to remeber that it may take 3 to 5 years to build your network marketing business to the point where you can leave and go full time.
During this period you will have to juggle all your other commitments,work family etc and overcome minor setbacks.
One of the many benefits of network marketing is that you will certainly meet many new people ,as well as changing your whole outlook on life for the better.
