«¤»FEATURE ARTICLE«¤»
ARE YOU READY TO WORK FROM HOME?
Planning is Essential
by Betty Ann Wilkins © 1999
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
You think, "It will be great being home for my kids and
having the time to do all the things I never have time to
do now". Wrong! Chances are you will have less time and
you will be running around like a chicken with his head
chopped off if you are not properly prepared. Why is this?
Very simply it is because there are too many distractions
when you work from home.
It is imperative that you have a plan and a schedule to
follow before you start working at home. Be sure to write
a business plan and a schedule. In fact, you will want to
write out a schedule for each week and each day once you
do get started working from home. Believe me, you want
to be organized and in my experience when you actually
write it on paper you are more likely to make it happen.
When writing your business plan, keep it simple and write
down all of your goals. Decide what you want to achieve
and set a time frame to all of your goals. Remember to
be REALISTIC but also do not make it too easy - You want
to challenge yourself to always do better and more. Be
sure to review and revise your business plan and goals at
least every three months or so. It will help you to keep
track of how well you are doing and where you need to work
harder.
Create a budget for your business. You will need to spend
some money on your office area, supplies, and you will need
to advertise. FREE advertising will not make you successful.
At the very least, you will have to use paid advertising to
place your ads in pertinent e-zines.
In choosing where you will set-up your home-office be sure
to do all of the following:
* choose a place that is (preferably) quiet and private
(tell family members it is off limits during your working
hours to help prevent unimportant interruptions)
* has enough space for a chair, desk, computer & file cabinet
* a second phone line (if you can't afford it right now the
bare minimum would be an extension or cordless phone
* a roledex (physical or computerized)
* an accounting system (physical or computerized - you will
need to track all your expenses and sales for tax time)
* organize your work area
Once you create your business plan and schedule make sure
you stick to it. You are the BOSS now - you will only be
accountable to Yourself. If you are too easy on yourself
your business will fail but if you are too hard on yourself
your family and relationships will suffer. Try very hard
to find a happy medium - Both areas will always need your
attention.
To prevent potential problems with your family, sit down
with them beforehand to explain how very important your
new business is to you and that you will need them to
understand that just because you work at home does not
mean that you are always available for them. This will
make it easier when you have to say, "No, I am working
right now." Always be gentle but firm.
After you start making money, plan to take a fixed percentage
of your earnings to funnel right back into your business.
This will ensure that your business will steadily grow.
Be sure to schedule time for acquiring more knowledge. You
will want to study what is working for other Entrepreneurs
and Internet Marketers. Due to the nature of the Internet,
It is Imperative that you do this regardless of the amount
of understanding and experience you have right now. With
the number of resources available for learning the correct
mechanics, strategies and tactics to market successfully on
the Internet there is no real excuse for not having this
knowledge and using it.
You will have to put some of your earnings aside to access
some of these resources. Many of the better tutorials and
courses are not free but will save you precious time and
money in the long run. (Since these are learning tools for
your business they are also tax deductible).
Below I have listed some resources that will quickly and easily
provide you with a Goldmine of Information and Knowledge in
Internet Marketing if you just put it to use:
DISCOVER E-COMMERCE IN PLAIN ENGLISH
by Ira Marxe
Ira shows you, in easy-to-understand English, what he has
learned in 50 years of successful business, and how he has
applied it to develop several successful Internet businesses.
THE AMAZING FORMULA by Marlon
Sanders
Marlon's specialty is developing marketing strategies and
writing killer copy. He shows you how to produce information
products in 2 to 4 hours, from information that you already have.
WINNING THE AFFILIATE GAME by
Declan Dunn
Declan's expertise in how to market affiliate programs.
THE INSIDER SECRETS TO MARKETING YOUR
BUSINESS ON THE INTERNET by Cory Rudl
This is the Absolute Bible on Internet Marketing. Cory explains
exactly how to become as successful as he has by giving you all
of his secrets.
Now that you know what is needed to get started working from
home are you still thinking it will be a wonderful vacation?
Maybe, you should plan to take that vacation and catch up on
all the things you haven't gotten done because of your busy
schedule before you start working from home.

«¤»GUEST COLUMN«¤»
HOW TO SUCCEED WORKING AT HOME
When you have kids climbing all over you.
By Kevin Nunley
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I get a BIG chuckle out of experts who preach the joys of
working from home. Magazines often feature a photo of a
nicely dressed model with her full attention focused on a
client on the phone. Her equally nicely-dressed child
quietly explores an educational toy on the floor beside her.
That's never the way it works at my house. As I write this
from home, my 15 year-old is bouncing a basketball off the
outside of my office, my 12 year-old is blaring her new
Back Street Boys CD, the kindergartner has just let the
neighbor's dog into the living room, and my toddler is
trying to climb onto my shoulders while attempting to shut
the computer off.
Experts advise this isn't the way a successful work-at-home
business is supposed to operate. The professional home-
worker is told to make clients think she is in a big, plush
office in a mirror-covered professional building. "Never
allow noise from kids and pets and never answer the phone
'hello.' Clients won't take you seriously," they write.
Uh oh, I'm in trouble.
Let's be realistic for a second. Of the six million North
Americans who work from their houses, I'll bet more than
half have noisy kids, dogs, and unfolded laundry competing
for their attention. Yet, studies routinely show work-at-
homers often get as much or more done than those in the
office.
Here are a few ideas to help you succeed with a home
business when you have lots of family responsibilities to
deal with at the same time:
1. Don't worry about kids interrupting a phone call. Being
there for family is cool these days. The vast majority of
business people wish THEY were at home with their kids.
More often than not, when a small voice starts demanding a
popsicle in the middle of an important negotiation, the
client on the other end will be delighted. "Are you working
at home? How neat! Isn't it wonderful that you can be
there for your kids," your client will say.
2. Working non-stop with full concentration is only for
people locked in a corporate office. Get used to working
in a start-and-stop fashion. When you see your work is
about to be interrupted, don't stop at a natural place.
Stop in the middle. It will help you get re-started when
time allows.
The feeling you MUST be constantly productive at all times
is a recent invention of our industrial societies. The
majority of the world's people are much more laid back.
Take a little more time to get a project finished. Oddly,
your productivity will increase.
3. If you are a firm of one, promote your one-ness to the
world. Every customer wants to feel like they can talk
to the person in charge. That's never a problem for people
who do business with you.
Think of all the big corporations that strive to be
identified with their founder. Microsoft has Bill Gates,
KFC has the Colonel, and Wendy's has Dave. They spend
millions to insure you identify their mammoth corporation
with a single individual in charge.
4. Get over the idea that TV is bad for kids. It is a
popular, healthy, worthwhile activity when used wisely in
moderate doses. Most of TV's criticism is perpetrated by
people who sell books. There are a lot of terrifically
educational TV programs and videos that kids love to watch.
Plan to get a project underway while the kids (we'll
include spouses, too) engage in some quality TV consumption.
A few hundred years ago people ALWAYS worked with their
kids under foot. It was only when business became
dominated by factories that workers were forced to leave
their children at home (and even then, it took at least 100
years to make workers change).
You certainly CAN be a success working at home while
taking care of children--even if your children are rowdy,
noisy, and demanding. The articles I've written (which are
read by 1 million people each week) were all written with
various children sleeping on my lap, pulling my hair, or
trying to delete the file.
I earn a good living working at home and YOU CAN TOO!
Just don't expect me to always pick up the phone when you
call. It's not that I don't want to talk with you, but
probably that my 2 year-old has just swiped my keys and is
heading for the garage.
