Why Do You Need A Network With Legitimate Home Based Business Opportunities?
Why does a person need to have a network with legitimate home based
business opportunities? It’s simple. There is an old saying that says “Your net
worth is directly reflected by your network.” Let me touch on a few ways your
network can influence your net worth and briefly discuss why each happens. The
first network group to discuss is your friends and family.
Now, I’m not saying you have to ditch your friends and family, of course
not. I am, in fact, into legitimate home based business opportunities because
of that very reason – friends and family (mostly family). What I am saying is
this: sometimes family doesn’t make the best business decisions for your life.
It’s that simple. Here is an exercise I did when I felt some resistance from my
friends and family based on my decision to pursue a life of being an
entrepreneur. I looked at them objectively and said “Is that where I want to
end up in life?” The answer, was no.
I have nothing but pride and admiration for my family – all of them. But
the truth is, I don’t want to work 40 hours a week for 40 years of my life. I
just don’t. I can’t give up that much of myself to someone who is looking at
their bottom line and making decisions on my life based upon that. That, to me,
is asking too much. I am more of a risk taker, an entrepreneur. I owe all of
that to my family, as they are the ones who made me what I am. Are they proud
of me? Of course they are. But, that doesn’t mean they have always supported me
in my decisions. This isn’t about me though, it’s about you and your network.
If you are surrounded by people who are doing what you want to do and living
your dream life, then you are doing it correctly. If not, then perhaps
legitimate home based business opportunities are worth taking a look at.
So, at this point you have decided that you want something different.
So, how do you find a network of people to align yourself with? Many
“mastermind opportunities” exist in legitimate home based business
opportunities, however be leery of strictly mastermind groups. You do need a
mastermind group, but you need a mastermind group with people who you can
duplicate. Would it help you to be part of a mastermind group of billionaires
where you need $5 million dollars to be a part of anything? I know it wouldn’t
help me. Situation where you can mastermind with successful people with your
exact business model exist; though extremely rare. I was lucky enough to find
that opportunity early on in my internet marketing career and it has helped me
more than words can say.
How can you find such a group? Evaluate legitimate home based business
opportunities with that question in mind. Ask yourself “Does this allow me to
mastermind with successful entrepreneurs and model them?” If the answer is yes,
that’s a positive thing (there are definitely more questions!).
So how can you take the most advantage of this network once you are
invested in it? That is the key component you need to understand. Once you have
this network, ask questions! Ask questions and find someone who is willing to
guide you through the process. It’s tough to find someone who is going to
actually be concerned with your progress, or results in this industry. Most
people want to sell you on some “buy my $20 product and you will get SO rich!”
scheme and never talk to you again. I’m here to say, that is not what I would
consider a “legitimate home
based business opportunity.” We will forget about those schemes for now.
Once you have positioned yourself within a group of caring
entrepreneurs, found someone directly responsible for your results, and are
taking action, you will notice tremendous results, quickly. Additionally, you
need to model what the successful people do! You need to watch them, read what
they write, notice what they do, and model that exact behavior. That is
crucial! Once you do all of that, you are on your way to becoming one yourself.

- There's a thread for good books in the Resources folder, but it doesn't target books for businesswomen particularly, so I figured I'd start such a thread here.
It doesn't matter how successful you are in your business - it's always possible to learn something new.
In subsequent posts I give Table of Contents and brief descriptions for various titles - most of them devoted to the businesswoman - and sometimes a review. If anyone else has read a review, or has read the book and found it useful, please comment!

3) Join the local Chamber of Commerce
