Successful Home Business Advice From Nickelback

June 26th, 2009

I was driving in my car the other day when I received a lesson in building a successful home business from the group Nickelback. In specific, the lyrics to the song “If Today Were Your Last Day” struck me as something that everyone who desires to be successful in a home business should learn.

Now, obviously Nickelback is not in the home based business industry nor do they teach people how to build a successful MLM or network marketing company. “If Today Were Your Last Day” mentions several incredible teaching that people who strive to build a successful home business in network marketing should grasp.

1. Each Day Is A Gift And Not A Given Right

No one is guaranteed tomorrow. If something were to happen to you, do you feel you have built your business large enough to leave a legacy income, or at least enough to take care of your loved ones? What is getting in your way?

Instead of focusing on what you can do tomorrow, do what you can today. And repeat this everyday.

2. Take the Path Less Traveled

My mentor had a motivational poster in his office that had this saying, and I paraphrase: To get what you have never had, you must learn to do what you have never done.

Not many people like to go through the struggles of building a successful home business. It is not an easy task. Most people give up when things get tough. But if you want more out of life and want to see your business reach your dreams, you must be willing to sacrifice and do more. Get out of your comfort zone, or at least expand what your comfort zone is.

3. Say Goodbye To Yesterday

So this is your first company, you are two or three months in and have not made a dime. Don’t let your lack of success determine what you do today.

Even if this is your second, third, or even tenth home business company, do not let past failures determine what you do today and how you will build your success today. Many people who have built successful home businesses failed many times before they became successful. Do not give up and keep striving for success.

4. What’s Worth The Price Is Always Worth The Fight

Think about the reason why you started your home business. Was it to spend more time with family? To take more trips? To have a better nest egg? Quit your job?

Whatever the reason you started your home business, network marketing or MLM business, remember that the struggles are just a means to the end. As one mentor of mine said, you have to love the process. Keep your eye on the prize and never give up. Realize that the struggles you endure now will pay off in the future.

5. Let Nothing Stand In Your Way ‘Cause The Hands Of Time Are Never On Your Side

This is my personal favorite in the song. All too often we encounter rejection. Business is slow, we finally talk to someone interested in our product or business, and they reject us for whatever reason.

Instead of letting that rejection keep you down, press on! You never get a chance to do “right now” over again, so always take advantage of every moment you have. Work hard to build your business and let nothing keep you from your goals.

The Decision Is Up To You

March 19th, 2009

Consider this a quick “personal development” note:

I’m learning that the only person who can change you is you.

Your wife cannot.  Your boss cannot.  Your family cannot.

If you want to change, you have to make a decision to change.  And when you make the decision, you have to simply commit to doing it.  Then you have to execute:  Whatever change you’ve decided on making, you have to do it.  Thinking about changing isn’t going to make the change occur.

So when I made my decision to do more Internet marketing, I did it.

What changed do you want to make?  Whatever it is, make the decision to change and do it.

Building A Better Me (Internet Marketing, P90X)

March 16th, 2009

While I’m not performing my 90 Day Internet Marketing challenge as good as I probably should, I am still seeing results.  What is the problem?  Simply getting busy!  Busy is good, but it does cause me not to get as much done as I want to get done.

But the entire point of this journey is to prove to myself that I can be consistent and that I can grow.

On March 16, I start a new 90 day journey that will overlap with my Internet marketing journey.  This journey, as I’ve documented on here before, is my journey through transforming myself diet, exercise, and consistency.

I’ve dedicated this year to buiding a better me.  My family deserves it, my God deserves it, and honestly, I deserve it.

My goals are to transform myself.

-  Be better in business
-  Be better physically
-  Be a better husband
-  Be a better father
-  Be a better worshiper
-  Be a better person

So I continue my journey.  I just add a new path to it starting tomorrow.   Feel free to follow my status on my P90X Blog.
