Lessons From The Home Based Business School Of Hard Knocks
Learn to leverage wealth while "playing" all over the planet
2-word Secret Weapon For Effective Leadership In Your Home Business

Wor kFrom Home Expert Business Lesson #1. Don't blaze trails.Partner with an established, stable company with a proven track record.

Flashback 1992. Our first venture in a home based business **sucked**. We signed up with a brand new company and did everything we were told to do, religiously. Yet after 8 months the only person we signed up was my husband -Dave's, Dad.  I think he felt sorry for us.

Then, the MLM Company went bankrupt. It seems we weren't the only ones struggling with selling the products. We didn't even get a chance to "fail" out like the 97% of people in this industry do. IT failed us. After that, even Goodwill wouldn't even accept the products as a donation.

Fast-forward, one decade. I found a skin care product that I LOVED. Turns out it's distributed through MLM consultants. I signed up immediately. Religiously, I did everything I was told, again. I paid for a coach. Attended an expensive National conference.  Bought lots of products and shipped samples daily to everyone I knew.

I actually made some sales. But, my commission checks were tiny and I was spending a fortune on samples and shipping. Daily trips to the Post Office were a HUGE hassle. "Build a team," my sponsor told me. So, I began calling everyone I knew. Selling the product was easy but whenever I mentioned those three letters, M - L- M, they practically hung up on me.

Sound familiar? This time, my Mom stepped forward. After also falling in love with the products she said, "I might be interested in the business." It was a real dilemma for me. I still felt guilty about Dave's Dad. Worse yet, my mom was just coming out of a divorce.  She was filled with hope and excited about being in control of her life but she was also very fragile.

This could help her, right? I wasn't exactly convinced that she fully understood what she was getting herself into. But, she was excited and wanted to do it so, who was I to squelch her dream. Together we spent months working like crazy. Home parties for her, home parties for me. We managed to attract a few people to join our business, but they generally would quit within months.

It must be us, I thought. One day, my sponsor gave me some advice and I shared that with Mom. "We need MASSIVE activity." The look on my mom's face said it all.  We'd been working day and night, even on weekends, how much more "massive" could we get? She never actually said "I quit." But, she did. 

I was devastated to think that I actually recruited my mother into my business at a time when she was very vulnerable. It still haunts me.


Wor kFrom Home Expert Business Lesson #2. No approaching friends and family.The business model should have a customer delivery platform.
Mom never even made enough to recoup the charges on her credit card. I actually heard that 97 percent of people in this industry end up spending more than they make. 97 percent!

Wor kFrom Home Expert Business Lesson #3. Must be able to recoup initial investment within the 90 day this-is-really-exciting period.

I couldn't sleep at night.  Why couldn't I do this? I have an MBA. I know business. I had been a successful businesswoman several times over with traditional business models. I was disciplined. If I could run marathons - for crimeny sake, I could certainly do this. And then it struck me. This wasn't just about "me" any more.

The reason it was difficult to convince others they could be successful in this industry is because they'd already witnessed so many others fail miserably - the 97%. People get pumped up and buy into the excitement and the dreams and the hype.  Just like Mom. Just like Dave's dad. The truth is... Even with great products, most MLM business models suck. They require that you approach your friends and family, people who may not even really want your products or your business.

Plus, they don't provide the proper training so that people can really obtain the necessary skills to succeed. And, let's face it, most sponsors, while they themselves may be great sales people, they're not teachers or coaches. There's a 97% newbies parade going on everyday in the home based business industry. Those are the guys that need the help!


Wor kFrom Home Expert Business Lesson #4. Must be able to plug into a community of support, 24/7, all over the world. A true system of success.Regardless of sponsor.

In the meantime, people enter this business daily, thinking this is their ticket to financial security. They max out their credit cards in exchange for dreams of wealth. Then, they quit before the first payment is due because they were sold something bigger than life. I suppose I should be thankful that I failed fast and had very few casualties among my friends and family.

Moms and Dads tend to love you no matter what.Dave and I have owned several REAL brick and mortar businesses. The kind that have office hours and employees. And at the end of the day, we've witnessed that REAL businesses prevail when their products, distribution method and people win too.

REAL businesses would never survive if their employee turnover was anywhere near the rate of MLM casualties. People ARE the bottom line. When a business takes care of its people, its people take care of the business. Which brings me to the final lesson. Now, this is one I didn't fully understand at first.


Wor kFrom Home Expert Business Lesson #5. Paid application required. If not, RUN!
Let's face it. Money makes everything more serious. A company that takes anyone with a heartbeat – is only interested in one thing: getting YOUR money. They take you straight to the product with very little care whether or not you'll succeed in the business. Think about it. If you want to rent a house – you pay for an app, to buy a franchise, or go to college, there's a paid app. Just plopping down that application fee says, "please spend your time with me – I'm serious about this."

Without an application process, how could you tell which ones are really serious? Frankly, it would be impossible, because there's always going to be the 97% who "say" they want wealth but aren't willing to do what it takes to get it. Leave that for the other companies. You really only want to work with the people who are serious. Period.

Lessons learned.


Wor kFrom Home Expert FAQ

"What is CarbonCopyPRO?"

CarbonCopyPRO is a internet marketing education and resource company. It is NOT an MLM, network marketing company or income opportunity. It is a direct sales company started in 2006 by Jay Kubassek in Kansas City, Kansas.  Jay had a background as a top-earning direct sales professional who leveraged the internet to sell a variety of products. Using a combination of social media, pay-per-click marketing, and targeted websites, Jay had created a formula for moving product that had him earning six figures monthly (net profit).   Jay made a decision that the next logical step for his business was to "bottle" his process such that it could be duplicated by others. This was of course not an entirely selfless decision.

By licensing his methods to others he could add a new revenue stream, add enhanced credibility to his own efforts, and ultimately position himself to be the exclusive sales channel for a company of his choosing.  Ambitious as his plan may have been, it has worked.   In the beginning of 2006, Jay launched CarbonCopyPRO in exclusive partnership with a leading financial education company. Within 30 days, the gross sales of the partner company had increased 400%.That was two and a half years ago as of this writing and the story is still unfolding.  When CarbonCopyPRO began, Jay was already what most would consider wealthy.  Of course now he is even more so. But the more interesting part of the story is what CarbonCopyPRO has done for others.   Now headquartered in New York City, CarbonCopyPRO has already created 6 millionaires and numerous other multiple six-figure earners. Importantly, these are not "pie-in-the-sky" numbers. These are notary-validated bank statement numbers attestable under any amount of scrutiny.

"What is CarbonCopyPRO's mission?"

Our mission is to show the average person how to achieve above average results using simple tools (like the internet, a phone, and a note pad) readily available to almost everyone. We facilitate and support our members with targeted and personalized training and coaching while offering them access to all resources required to run a successful Internet based business.

"Can CarbonCopyPRO help me make money?"

Yes. We are a marketing education company that will empower you with cutting edge techniques, tools, and resources to make money in the world of online marketing. CarbonCopyPRO can help make you money regardless of your previous entrepreneurial experience.

"What is the BiB?"

The BiB is a box that contains everything you will ever need to set up and run your own successful online marketing business. It will be your starter kit; filled with DVD's, salient promotional material and our top CarbonCopyPRO marketing manuals. Think of it as your own Internet based business in a box. It includes the websites which are built, updated and maintained for you, four filters deep. It covers world's best recorded training sessions in the back office, accessible by you at your convenience. There are dozens of calls covering all aspects of marketing online, low cost and free methods, Social Media, Web 2.0, video marketing and Pay Per Click. We have been doing the business full time since November 2008, and we have not even done a quarter of the training yet. There are also eight live training calls every week, which are to both train you, and your team as you start to sponsor people in to the business. There is a call centre (based in the US) which contacts applicants on your behalf, and presents the business and compensation plan for you. The CCPro office handles all packaging and handling of your Application DVD's and BIB's.

"What is included with my PRO membership?"

Your membership gives you unlimited access to our ongoing marketing curriculum and resources that cover virtually every form of online and offline lead generation and internet marketing, plus the above.

"How easily can I cancel my account once I get started?"

There are no contracts in place. Members are free to quit and cancel their memberships at any time without penalty.

"Is CarbonCopyPRO available outside of North America?"

Yes. We have members here and all over the world. The internet makes this opportunity accessible to all. CCPro has members in over 70 countries including Norway, Costa Rica, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, UK, Germany and Japan.

"Who is going to help and support me once I sign up?"

You will have a personal sponsor, and you will have unlimited access to the CarbonCopyPRO support community as long as you are a member. You will have unlimited access to all of our support mechanisms as well as professionally trained business coaches should your personal sponsor be out of reach.

"Do I have to purchase any other products?"

The short answer is this: Aside from your BiB, no product purchases are required. The long answer is this: Aside from your BiB, no product purchases are required. However, if you want to make more money fast, the further you step up into the program, the less commission you sacrifice and the more you earn.

"How much will it cost me to get started?"

To get started with the CarbonCopyPRO BiB it will cost you $395 plus whatever marketing budget you have. ($500-$1000 is recommended, but not required) If you choose to purchase any of the optional WMI products up front, that would obviously cost extra. (NOTE: Included in your BiB will be a $400 Coupon that you can redeem towards any WMI product purchase.)

"How effective is CarbonCopyPRO?"

Now we hate to sound overly confident but here is a true story: When we launched CarbonCopyPRO in October of 2007 we knew it would be big. We were opening the vaults to people. What happened was beyond our expectations. In the 30 days after CarbonCopyPRO launched the sales of WMI products increased by 400%. Yes, you read that correctly. Our little marketing system increased the TOTAL company sales by 400% in 30 days. What does that actually mean? Well we believe it means that doing it our way versus doing it the old-school way is 400% more effective. Can imagine what you could do with our help?

"How much money can I make marketing BiBs?"

Every BiB purchased from your website will generate a $200 commission for you. Don't forget you also earn up to $20 on every Application Kit AND $30/month RESIDUAL income from all members you refer throughout the life of their enrollment!

"Who is going to help me with my business?"

Not only do you have us as your personal sponsors, but you will have unlimited access to CarbonCopyPro support as long as you are a member. You will have unlimited access to our toll-free number, email support as well as professionally trained business coaches should your personal sponsor be out of reach. Oh, and an extensive online forum of your peers.

"How do I succeed at CarbonCopyPRO?"

By plugging in to the CarbonCopyPRO system and following the systems, formulas, and scripts presented in your 30-day marketing guide.  Properly executed, the 30-day marketing guide is a can't-miss playbook for internet marketing success.  There is work to be done and you will have to be the one to do it.  But if you do the work the way you're supposed to you will be successful.
