Security vs Freedom

What was your main aim when you decided to start a work from home business?

Maybe a little extra money,a legacy to leave behind or was it the allure of freedom?

Security

Some people think a job is secure,ever been laid off,how about the bullying at work then,supervisors employers,deciding when you come to work when you leave,when you go on holiday,how much you earn,and when and if you get promoted up the ladder,only to see somebody else head of you.

Don't forget the older you get the more likely you are to be passed over,experience costs employers more so they prefer a younger person willing to put in the hours for a vague promise of being looked after(heard that one before) .

Personal pension I don't think so,having recently recieved the annnual illustration of benefits etc I can now see Iwould have been better off sticking the money in a high interest account and forgetting about for 40 years.

Freedom
This sounds the better option to me,free to choose your own hours ,fed up of your working environment change it.take a cordless phone make the calls from the garden then,same idea with a laptop.

Tired of paying so much tax sit down with your advisor and make sure you are using all your legally available entitlements,holiday when you want.

long the way you will also have the satisfaction of mastering new skills needed to build your business,marketing,sales financial,and then when you reach that beautifull day when you make enough to call it a day at work,the satisfaction of a dream come true.
See who's laughing then at your so called little network marketing business.

Seems to me that only a crazy guy would want to cling to security of a job? ,the job for life went out a long time ago.

So in exchange for having the inner strenght and courage to persevere with your network marketing busines you can enjoy true freedom and have a laugh at the stiffs heading off to their secure regular job,enjoying the stressfull commute,the office politics,limited time with the family,which they won't enjoy because they are worrying about the little jobs that still need done at work,before they head back tomorrow.

So it seems not much of choice shorten your life and enjoyment of it,for so called security or leave your comfort zone,put in a few years effort and then get the satisfaction of telling that saddo you call boss where to go.

Advertising Online And Off

Advertising your business is one of the many skills required to be successfull,and one you will have to master,not enough people looking will condemn your business to a sluggish growth to say the least.


There are plenty of online options, traffic exchanges such as traffic swarm hits uk etc ,banner exchanges,forums all where you can advertise your Telecom Plus business these are better for recruiting new execs to your teams,but be prepared for tyre kickers and idle dreamers as well.

Personally I avoid FFA's (free for all) adverting as all you get back is a stream of e mail from other's offering their opportunity.
For further insight into the techncal aspects see http://utiltyvalue.blogspot.com here you will find all sorts of usefull info on setting up a website,traffic exchanges and auto-responders in plain easy to understand english.

Remember also to use e mail signatures,a nice indirect way of advertising both the services and the opportunity at the same time.


Other ways are putting a vinyl ad on the rear screen of your car available from www.webdecal.com make it bold and catchy as you never know when it will be read,especially if parked in the office or supermarket car park,does not in any way obscure your view when driving either.

There bare also ads available from the download section of the extranet,and if you want to design your own please get it approved by h q.

A great source of info on other ways of advertising can be found at www.downlineplus.com this site is maintained by Mark Graves,a member of my upline who dedicates time to the swat team forum,besides running his business a great all round guy as well.

Don't forgot to be slightly creative with your efforts try using personalised products like mousemats,if the cost is prohibitive,why not share the cost with members of your team,create your own ad and list everybody's freephone no you could say something like for Manchester call,for Liverpool call etc with the appropriate freephone no in each space,it helps create the impression of a large professional company(which we are) and helps spread the cost.
Anyone wanting the web add for a good company with keen prices please drop me an e mail I'll reply as quickly as posssible.

You could try a similar idea with a pamphlet advertising local businesses,and so on let your imagination go wild who knows what you can come up with?

In cxlosing please remember the swat team site a a usefull site full of resources and our own forum.
This was set up by Trevor and Karen Blake two exceptional people who are a living demonstration of the value of persistance and what this can do for you,I'm sure you are all familiar with their story of how they become overnight successes after years of toil,and struggle but never gave up way to go guys.

And lets not forget Chris Duckles a great guy as well ,one of the company trainers,who is always willing to help,cajole and get you thinking every time you speak to him view his site here, wise owl

See you all next week.

Randy Gage (Your Mental Diet)

Randy Gage has been another big influence on my point of view,I initially came across his work on the swat team site,and found the online video informative and highly entertaining.

Randy has the usual rags to riches story but don't let this put you of in any way.

One of the big themes of his work is questioning, your own attitudes,do you have a lack mentality,or are you sabotaging yourself in some way,subconsiously?

Randy has a few different sites such as www.breakthroughu.com
where you can find lots of information and helpful resources.


Randy has kindly given me permision to reproduce an article of his below,which will give you a far better idea of his style and work than I can.


Dear Colleague,

All day long you are surrounded by a data-sphere of information
that promotes negativity, limitation, and lack consciousness. It
pummels your senses from all directions. It comes from your TV,
radio, the Internet, your friends, family, and the people you work
with. Most people are so saturated by lack programming that they
can't even fathom a life of anything but struggle and complaint.

What you read, what you listen to, and the people you talk with,
have a huge effect on the person you are and the thoughts you have.
TV, radio, and the newspaper are all channels of information that
create and feed the mass reality of doom and gloom.

You must recognize that this data-sphere is continually programming
you 24/7, and that almost 95% of it is lack and limitation
programming. And it's not just the media. It's also your family and
friends. And your church and government.

So what do you do to combat all of this negative programming?

If you want to reach the highest levels of success-you have to
zealously guard your consciousness. You must control your own
programming, and reject the poisonous stuff most people are trying
to feed you.

In order to focus on prosperity, it is imperative that you spend
more time on your own personal growth. Each morning and each
evening before you go to bed, spend time on self-development.
Remember you are the foundation from which all your dreams are made
reality. Your physical health is but one half of the whole. Your
mental health is the other.

Recommended Resource:
Uncover the subconscious "lack" programming you have which is
holding you back, and replace it with prosperity consciousness to
manifest money, health, great relationships, happiness, and strong
spiritual harmony. The best-selling audio album "Prosperity: How to
Apply Spiritual Laws To Create Health, Wealth, And Abundance In
Your Life" by Randy Gage, is the most specific, detailed and
comprehensive resource ever produced on how to become prosperous.
Develop your prosperity consciousness now!

On a seperate note a good friend of mine Chris Lowe recently sent me a detailed horroscope,it was a revelation in some ways,as there were aspects of my character revealed and areas that I was thinking of pursuing that I have never mentioned to anyone.

Chris has kindly offered to produce one for any body interested,at a great price of £25,including p+p,this would make a fine gift,each report runs to approx 15 pages to give you an idea of the detail involved, I can say from my own report that Chris has a talent, and this is good value at that price, contact her by sending an e mail to lchrislowe@yahoo.co.uk

You will need the following details date of birth ,time of birth ,and of course the name of the person you want the horroscope for,and a delivery address.
