HOME BASED BUSINESS 101

Home Based Business Basics are Universal to Any Niche.

By Jo Lyn Cornelsen, RN QualityNurseConsultants

I started Quality Nurse Consultants, in 1995 with nothing but enthusiasm and motivation. I simply knew in my heart that if I could revamp a school health department or home health business for someone else, I could create a consulting and training business for myself. After landing teaching contracts in Oregon and Washington, I borrowed $3000 from my Dad for start-up, and got busy.

My professional expertise, simple curriculums plus examples of real life experiences, the trainings flowed easily. But I soon found that my students needed more from me than basic caregiver training. They needed a business mentor. So I became the expert in my niche - the Washington and Oregon Adult Care Home Industry. Now, in the last two years, I’m using the lessons I learned in my first home based business to go online and expand into health coaching, energy medicine, personal developmentand anti-aging.

Most Home Based Businesses fail in the first couple years. Mine has had plenty of ups and downs –but I’ve survived, thrived and learned lessons I probably couldn’t have learned any other way.

Home Based Business gives no guaranteed paycheck and will absorb as many hours as you will allow, but despite the risks and challenges, Home Based Business offers a satisfaction and freedom not available in the corporate world.

My advice:

1. Choose a Niche, and become THE EXPERT in your niche.

2. Become the solutions expert for your clients…

3. Create multiple streams of income within your business…

4. Provide only top quality products and services - integrity is everything!

To your success!

Jo Lyn Cornelsen came on the Washington and Oregon AFH scene in 1994 as a Home Health Nurse, visiting clients who lived in Adult Care Homes. She perceived the Adult Family Home as an ideal Home Based Business... Care Providers could work at home and Residents could receive great care in home based settings at a lower cost than in a Nursing Home... It's win/win! She trained AFH providers in Oregon and Washington for four years before opening Wisteria Gardens AFH on 20 lush acres in 2001. She says "That's when my real education about the industry began. I've learned things by being a Care Provider that I never thought possible to learn." www.WisteriaPhotos.com Now, eight years later, she has created two websites, www.QualityNurseConsultants.com and www.CareHomeAmerica.com to 1) increase awareness of Adult Care Homes across the nation, so more people can benefit from the industry, and 2) improve the quality of care for residents by helping Care Providers succeed in the business. Jo Lyn teaches the Washington State Approved 48 Hour AFH Administrator Training - the twelve topics in the QNC AFH Success Course are: Business Planning & Marketing; Fiscal Planning; Human Resources; Resident Health Services; Food Services; Resident Activities; Working with People who have Mental Illness, Dementia, and Developmental Disabilities; the Licensing Process; Resident Rights; Legal Issues; Facility Planning and Maintenance; Housekeeping; and a Bonus Unit on Business Systems Organization. This specific Home Based Business niche is Elder Care, but Jo Lyn has also developed related Home Based Business expertise in working with business entities for tax planning, liability protection and cash management. She's also into easy website building for the home based business entrepreneur, and believes beginners can and should create their own sites for cost effectiveness and flexibility. Jo Lyn and her husband, Kevin Cornelsen, have used their Home Based Business profits to invest in real estate. They are the parents of five exceptionally wonderful adults, and grandparents of nine-plus children. Home based business has given this family a life-style of flexibility and freedom, and they encourage others in doing the same.

Re: Trade Shows - Are They Worth It? Re: Trade Shows - Are They Worth It? - HI, I have used trade shows (not participated) to collect potential clients. For example, the Home & Garden Industry is extremely behind the time in regards to their websites. I attended an Home & Garden Expo in Denver and collected all the companies contact information. I plan on cold calling & mailing information to each business. It also gave me time to research the industry more, talk directly to the owners in many cases, and learn more about what they need.
