How individuals are vacating traditional 9 to 5’s entering into entrepreneurship to own, build and lead a high growth company from their home.
Have you been frustrated by whether the time is right to make a change toward entrepreneurship? Are you lacking the knowledge, desire, and financial investment to go into business for yourself? Or are you overwhelmed about the notion that you may not have the goods to own, lead and grow a business? Are you stuck in a place in your life where you know a change needs to occur but you are frightened to do it on your own? Well, what you need to know is that you are not alone.
If you have the desire to become an entrepreneur it is probably because you are a natural leader and many times natural leaders tend to gravitate toward entrepreneurship. That desire deep down inside is one that you have been savoring unbeknownst to yourself for the very opportunity to be a business owner. You have this pull toward controlling your life’s outcome and setting it on the course you desire not dictated by others. Know that with the right company and solid leadership skills, being an entrepreneur might just be the ticket you have been looking for. As glamorous and wonderful as it sounds to own your own business, lead and grow it, being an entrepreneur is a challenging on-taking and although an incredible journey being an entrepreneur takes commitment, vision and clear laser-focus.
In today’s society it is incredibly easy to go into business for yourself and say that you are a business owner. It doesn’t even take a lot of money if you decide that Network Marketing is for you. You can decide what product or service is best for you, pay a nominal fee, order your business cards and you are ready to go. However, that is not owning, growing or leading a business. A real entrepreneur is one who is willing to fight through the challenges of economies to take his or her life back on his or her own terms. These are individuals who are willing to take something simple and build it, grow and prosper it and call it their business.
Building a Successful Company
It is not only easy, it is simply the best way to go. Network Marketing companies are the new franchising and over a couple of decades have truly changed the landscape of entrepreneurship. With their ease of entry, systems, training, broad market appeal and variety of products and services --one can enter into the health and wellness industry, travel industry, insurance, utilities just to name a few. It is a no-brainer because entrepreneurship is not the way Hollywood describes it, just for those who have a lot of money to invest, have a brilliant idea or invention that will change the world or have an expensive education. Network Marketing is for anyone who desires to take control of their lives and leave a lasting legacy to their families. Network Marketing allows the entrepreneur to run, build, and grow a thriving business through simple analysis of the market, identifying an opportunity to do something better and even use skillsets to streamline existing processes.
Take a Network Marketing company in the Health and Wellness industry for instance that focuses on making water more Alkaline. A person taking advantage of owning this type of business can look at the market where their products assists people who have been diagnosed with diabetes to see a better life for themselves with little to no pain. The diabetes culture serves as an opportunity for that entrepreneur to bring something great into the lives of hurting people. Last, with the use of technology processes are easier to implement whether it is to get a product or service to the consumer, sign a new prospect, or just maintaining a customer database for the purpose of providing great customer service.
Although this may seem natural and common sense to all, commitment is a factor that every entrepreneur must have and Network Marketing is no exception. Network Marketing is one of the business arenas today that has gotten a bad rap. But unlike its counterpart Franchising, Network Marketing is still working to change its persona. Due to some unrealistic outlooks, Network Marketing is viewed as a hobby or some get-rich quick scheme and not a viable business in most cases. Network Marketing is quite the contrary. It is a business just like any other that takes time, commitment, focus and money. Therefore, it is important for newcomers when entering the world of entrepreneurship through Network Marketing to realize that it will take the same amount if not more dedication than traditional businesses. If you have the attitude I will give it a few months and see what happens you may want to reconsider whether entrepreneurship is for you.
When you see or hear about top-income earners in Network Marketing they are heralded as “overnight successes.” The reality is that it generally takes a few years to turn a profit, and assist to grow and build other people’s businesses as well (which is what Network Marketing is all about). This process is just like any other business. It is funny how my wife and I did not refer to our business as a “Plan B.” We had “Plan A” in mind the entire time and that was it. Of course, this was not an easy decision and it took a lot of planning and some financial investment on the front-end to make our total commitment strategy possible. If you decide to become an aspiring entrepreneur my advice to you would be to please do your due diligence first, prepare, and ascertain your real level of commitment because it will take a lot to build a successful business from home.
Leading for Growth
Networking Marketing takes more than making a decision, up-front preparation, and commitment in order to succeed, you will need a long-term growth strategy also. Although every business is different, there are basic principles that govern all businesses that can improve your chances for change and growth over the long haul. I have found the most valuable strategies that I teach that you can incorporate and make growth and productivity happen is you being totally committed to learning about your industry. Remember Success is earned and is NEVER given therefore becoming an expert through education is your greatest asset toward success.
No matter the Network Marketing company, the market, and the needs of your customers, the interesting thing is that they will all change over time. But if you commit to spending an hour a day reading about your industry, taking a look at online research and evaluating business trends and competitors, you’ll be better positioned to spot new opportunities and challenges as they arise. If you decide to take full advantage of technology, make sure you keep up with technical advances and be mindful of the new products that your company unfolds that may affect your customer base.
The Bottom Line
Although every business is different and every marketplace unique there are universal basic principles that hold true for all entrepreneurs. When ascertaining your level of readiness for entrepreneurship the first step is to identify your level of commitment, then your interest in a given field in order to locate the right company and need for those products or services and last to ensure you are adequately prepared financially.
Once you have a signed form and have your products and services available to you, just remember that growing your business requires constant innovation. Make an unwavering commitment to ongoing learning, reading up on new developments in your industry to identify opportunities and emerging challenges. Listen to your market and customers to find out what their needs are and how you can help them succeed. By following these steps, you can have a successful, thriving new business – and keep it growing long into the future.
