Systems and Goals Make Your Home Business Successful By Bob And Cindy Floyd
A repeatable system is critical when choosing a business model to follow. All you need to do is to look at McDonalds, Subway, KFC / Taco Bell, - you name it, and they all have a system which is repeatable and hugely profitable. So what is it and how do they do it? It's simple - hire kids. Costs are low; the work has a single repeatable method with a training plan for every position. It's that simple.
So now let's take any successful online business...Microsoft, Google, Youtube, and more show up every day. Why are they so successful? They all have a system. They solve a problem for billions of people. Their business model is efficient, well run and they keep their costs low. They employee top notch people, sell massive amounts of advertising to online marketers to offset costs...they have a system.
So what do you see in common with all the founders and top management in these companies? All are goal oriented and they take MASSIVE action to achieve those goal! s. They have a plan for all aspects of the business, and if something in the plan fails they replace it with a new plan. How? They analyze the data, make corrective action, test the new plan and deploy. Having a goal allows them to constantly review and correct. Why? Because to stay on top of their game, continually striving to get better and get as much value they can for their dollar.
So how does all this apply to you the home business owner? First ask yourself do you have a plan? Or are you still searching for that "new" online opportunity that will give the freedom you've been looking for over the past how many years. Have you set SMART goals? (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Timely) Do you review them on a regular basis? Do you make adjustments to those goals when those goals have not been achieved? If you answered no, then take a lesson from the big guys. They started small once too.
So how do you do this? Start by getting organized. Sti! ck to a routine no matter what it takes. Don't let distraction! s take o ver your daily activities. You can schedule your work time and personal time to balance your life and make a profitable business. If you find this hard to do, try hiring a mentor or personal coach. This can be someone you know and trust that will help you stay focused. Or it can be someone who is knowledgeable in the industry you've chosen. Either way, there will always be somebody out there who can assist you with goal setting and the achievement of them.
Now it's important to find an opportunity that offers you a system. There are many of them out there. The key is to find a product you believe and has all the system components. The product should be something that provides a service and needs the needs of your customers. These attributes will ensure a solid core business that will pay huge dividends to you forever. These systems should give you support in the way of webinars, videos, email support, phone/skype support and access to websites with a ton of great in! formation designed to make you a better marketer - an online marketer. You really want a method designed to exploit the new web 2.0 technologies which will enable you to drive a ton of free traffic through consistent, daily work.
There are many good business opportunities for the home based business entrepreneur. Do your due diligence, and then just get started.
