Has your home based business fizzled out just when you thought you were getting off the ground? Have you played your best hand, danced your best dance, and can't seem to figure out why it isn't working like it's supposed to? Might be time to go back to home based business school!

Ranking number 8 on my list of 10 best home based business success tools, getting a continuing education is how successful people stay in the game and take their businesses to new levels while everyone else is stalled out at the starting line.

You see, getting your initial training is just that - initial training. It gets you started; if it's good training it probably gets you a few leads coming in, a few sales made, maybe even a recruit or two into your new venture. Then it happens: business dries up, the recruits disappear or can't seem to get started, you run out of leads and there just aren't any more coming in. You tried the techniques you started with but now it doesn't seem to work, why?

Because you have just come through kindergarten class and now you have to move into first grade. That's right...more training. This time it will be a little more advanced, a little more in-depth, and will probably focus more on developing your tools for driving traffic to your website, getting referrals to call you or that you can call, and better recruiting skills.

There are numerous sales and marketing books out there - read them. There are training seminars and coaching programs - attend them. There are secrets of self-improvement - learn them. At this point, more education will be the best investment you can make in yourself and your home based business.

Mike Dillard is a fantastic resource for better ways to build your team. He has made millions perfecting and teaching sponsoring and internet marketing techniques. His books, videos, and training programs are a must for your continuing education library.

One skill that Mike Dillard is best known for teaching is mindset. Adjusting your mindset is critical to taking your business to the next level. Taking his courses will help you determine your version of the next item on my list of 10 best home based business success tools - No. 8: A Purpose Beyond the Money. Be sure to read my next article; in it I discuss how critical it is to understand your big why and keep it at the helm of your ship.

Here's to your success!

Re: You don't need to go to a "real" school to get - [quote="OmnivoreInk":cwl01a6m]There are, I think, two types of people who go to school. Those who want to learn, and those who don't.[/quote:cwl01a6m] Hi Barbara, I agree with your comment 110% and that's why I could probably argue that it doesn't even matter if you go to a community college or distinguished University. At the end of the day, you're all given: a) an instructor and b) a textbook and it's really up to the individual to decide what he/she wants to get out of it. The [u:cwl01a6m]only[/u:cwl01a6m] real difference between "schools" is the level of student competition since all grading is done on a curve. For example, my grades at Seneca College's Continuing Education Programs are about 15% higher than what I got during my UofT undergrad! But another reason why online courses aren't that great is because I don't know why I need to pay $300-600 to read a bunch of "cookie cutter" content (via course website and textbook) and then have an "instructor" grade my paper or test? I mean, if you're really interested in learning more about something and have the self-discipline, why not just save your money and read a bunch of related articles on the web for free or buy a textbook for $100 to read at home? One might even argue that taking courses and getting degrees and diplomas are really only beneficial to people who want to have a career working for someone else.
