Hey guys Andrew Hawkes here,
Its been a while since I started working from home and internet marketing and in that time I have had a massive learning curve, you know I didn't hit it out of the park with my first attempt, and by the time I started getting my head around Google they went a changed the rules and what I had learned to that point was almost for nothing. I say almost as there were lessons taken from that which have certainly allowed me to prosper and grow. Which is very important.
You know when you talk to people about what working from home is about, when you ask them what it means to them, (asking a few people) you will get a variety of answers. Now I am not talking about the outcome of what it a Homebased Business will do for them, I am talking about what type of business they're involved with. Some will tell you it is about making sure you are talking to 150 people a day, others will say it is about ranking #1 on Google, and even more (growing daily) will tell you that it is about mastering Social media... You know what? From my observations all of these people are correct. Yet you will find home business guru's out there who to their credit have made a lot of money who tell you that there is only one of those elements is really needed. And that is to talk to people each and every day... now, I don't necessarily disagree with that sentiment. However if your focus is on internet marketing then talking to prospects every day may well be a waste of your time.
Of course if your focus us purely network marketing or mlm then yes you absolutely MUST talk to people daily to succeed. I'll be honest, I have no trouble talking to people, that doesn't bother me in the slightest... lets face it though people turn to an online business so they don't have to talk to people right? Well at least not in person. Something that I have certainly found is that when you do actually have money coming in, and not just talking about it it is far easier to actually talk to people. It is easier (albeit a psychological reason) to get people to talk to. As your business evolves you will most certainly start to understand your strengths and begin to work with them rather than trying (in vane) to fight or force against them.
Anyway I am getting a little of topic here... I was merely highlighting the fact that not all homebased business's are created equally, and regardless of the money that you are making if it doesn't feel quite right then change and do something that does!
Working from home has allowed me to really connect with who I am as a person, it has given me the opportunity to gain some great clarity as to what my purpose is. As such I am involved with a couple of different organizations all of which enable me to fulfill that purpose and vision for my life. Along my journey there have been a number of facets that I have learned that have enabled me to do things that I really enjoy and I and benefit monetarily from... so you could say my time investment in my education is starting to pay off.
Some of the things that I have discovered is that there are a lot of successful marketers out there that are missing some of the basic fundamentals, the Bare Knuckle Basics as I like to say. So I put it all in a report and what do you think I called it? That's right Bare Knuckle Basics. Now I am not claiming to be a guru or anything like that... far from it there is still much more to learn. I know what I know, All the report is are some basic stuff that I believe can certainly help you move forward.... its free and useful information... they way I think it should be, and with your feedback I can continue to improve what is in that and subsequent reports.
I sincerely would love to hear what you think so you can grab your copy of the report by clicking bare knuckle basics, oh and the best part is yet to come!!
The report does contain some affiliate links, OK so sue me! lol Seriously tho, the report is re-brandable so that means that you can change the affiliate links for your own and give it away yourself, and YOU can make the money! That is cool right? Well I think it is...
Well that is about it really, so here is the link again to bare knuckle basics
As always, please leave your comments here and be sure to share this with your friends and followers on Facebook and twitter. Thanks in advance.
To Your Success
