"How To Prioritize And Grow Your Home-Based Business" By Ken Leonard, Jr. ©2002 KLJ Online Life is all about making choices, and setting priorities. You have made a choice to get away from the "work at a job" world, to pursue making a living at home using your PC, or you wouldn't be reading this right now. Once a choice is made, your priorities must be organized to to fully support the choice. Are your actions helping you achieve your intended goal? If not, you need to look at your present situation, and decide what areas or factors can be changed to better suit the direction you wish to go. Since making a living from home always involves advertising of your product or service, your ad budget should be at the top of your priority list. Adjusting your finances, doing away with non-essential costs, will allow you to spend money on things like educational materials, websites, domain names, and business services that will give you a return on your investment. The only way to learn the "Ins and Outs" of making a living from home is to study the people and info products that will make your goals happen. There are quality, essential info products available online that are must-haves if you plan to succeed. There is also a lot of garbage going around the 'net. Doing your homework and reading recommendations from other successful home-based entrepreneurs can help you to find the info that will help you greatly, not wasting your time and money. It's all about learning from the top dogs that are making a living online. One great place to start is the awesome online marketing member-only website owned by Terry Dean. NetBreakthroughs is a virtual diary of Terry's marketing efforts, testing, successes and failures. It is one of the most respected online marketing member sites on the internet. His online marketing forum is one of the best on the web.
To be able to take advantage of this great pool of info, one would prioritize their spending to make it possible to pay a low monthly membership fee, and not feel the burden of another bill to pay. If you could cut out a small expense each month, giving you room to be able to join one of the most helpful sites on the net (to the up-and- coming home business person), would you make it happen? The person that can prioritize their cash flow can learn and make strides toward their goals that others can't. I bet if you look at your monthly expenditures, you can find a few things that you can do without. Making the right choices, and setting proper priorities, will mean the difference between success and failure in any home-based business venture, be it online or offline.
