Just like you, I have been invited to numerous home parties where some home, food, nutritional, etc items are being sold. I usually make my “supporting you” purchase and may or may not attend the party. For those parties that I have been able to attend, I’ve met and heard the testimonies of the business owners and how these home based business’ have changed their life by giving them the opportunity to quit their full-time jobs and now have more flexibility in their time, work when they want to and, most importantly (for this article), they are making more money than they did in the workforce! WHAT?! REALLY?! HOW?… was the one question that I wanted to know the answer to.After many years of owning my own Accounting and Tax business as a CPA, I have joined a company with the home based business model and after applying the skills and knowledge of how to run a successful Accounting and Tax business to my home based business, I am finding success! So, if you are thinking of trying a home based business, or you already have a home based business and really want to see success, please read the below three steps in how to make money with a home based business:1. Do one thing every day to potentially give you a sale. I know that not all home based business’ are based on sales, but most of them are, so I am using that model in this article. Make a weekly plan for yourself listing what you will do every day to promotes sales, then do it. You will find that making the weekly plan will be the hardest part of this commitment, so don’t skip that step. It will be so much harder to keep this commitment if you don’t have an idea of what you are going to do. After a few weeks, this will become a habit and not seem so much like you are working. Especially after your sales go up, you will no longer see this as a chore, but a tool to get you where you are wanting to go. Let the excitement begin!2. Connect with your upline/mentor at least once a week. In most home based business’ there is a mentor available to you, whether that be someone who sponsored you, or maybe an online training source. Whatever the case may be for your business, it is essential to connect with this mentor on a weekly basis and share with them what you have been doing as far as work habits in getting sales, product education, prospecting new customers, etc. A full-blown business meeting! Lay it all out on the table as to what you are doing and allow your mentor to comment and give you some advice or tips. They are there to help you, so be attentive and consider what they are saying. Be honest with them and if it’s been a bad week, then tell them. They will be able to help you through the slumps and give you advice on how they conquered that in their business. Not only is this connection time helpful for your business, it holds you accountable to complete the work habits that you have set for yourself. Don’t cheat yourself this opportunity to achieve your goals!3. Create physical reminders for yourself as to why you are doing this. Your reason “why” you want to create more financial freedom for yourself is what will keep you going. Let’s face the truth here, this is not a get-rich quick plan! It takes time and commitment to start something new, especially if you are already working full-time, supporting a family, etc. Knowing your reason “why” has to be in front of you every day, or trust me, you will not feel like doing it. Physical reminders can be anything that you see at home, in your car, at work, in the bathroom, wherever you are, so that it’s there to remind you why you are trying to create freedom for yourself. Some examples of physical reminders could be simply writing your goals down on a piece of paper and taping them to the walls around the house. You could post pictures around your house that reminds you of the freedom you are working towards. You get the idea. Be creative, this is for you, so your physical reminder will be as unique as you are. You will be amazed at the power of a physical reminder – do it for you!

Plan To Succeed With Information Product Creation: Why You Need To Split Your Process Up
One of the keys to succeeding in information product creation is to break the process up into discrete steps. This frequently isn’t an instinctive reaction for the typical information marketer. Especially on the internet where small sized learning products are the norm.
However, it is extremely important to your ultimate success. In fact, I would go so far as to say that if you don’t do this you probably won’t succeed… even when you are starting out let alone as you move forward.
Your product creation system should do this for you if only to help you to understand the overall task.
But why?
In this article, I’m going to ignore chunking and focus on the practical aspects. That’s not to say that chunking isn’t important. It is. It’s important to understanding and to learning the process. But while you can use the same chunks as you move forward, long term your focus needs to be on the operation of the system not the understanding of it. Unless of course you are constantly training new people!
So why is chunking important to long term use of the product creation process? (Yes, I know systems design uses a different term for this process but I’m not teaching you systems design. So I’m going to use the word learning content designers use.)
The first reason that having individual discrete tasks is important is one of schedule estimation. Frequently it is very difficult to estimate how long the total task of creating a product will take. After all, the size and type of the products matters as does the number of products in your product funnel. And those are just the most obvious elements. However, estimating a discrete task is often much easier. The total can then be estimated as the total of the discrete tasks.
Secondly, scheduling a large task can be problematic. However, by segmenting the task into a number of discrete tasks, you gain a much greater flexibility in scheduling. Not only that but as your business begins to add people you are able to schedule multiple people to the product creation.
Finally, segmenting a large task into smaller discrete tasks allows you to have much better control over the product creation. This affects two different areas — status and quality.
By segmenting your process into discrete tasks you are able to schedule and record the progress at much more detailed level. As a result you are more in control of the status of the product creation. You know what everyone is doing. When they should complete it. And how much it should cost. You also know exactly what has been done.
You also improve your overall quality. Instead of waiting until everything is done you can check quality as you go. This allows you to immediate react to low quality products without absorbing their costs. This means that you have less rework and your rework costs less. And if the product is not going to meet its quality requirement you will know about it in time to stop the development, change the requirement or fix the product.
