Mum of three starts a home based publishing business!

Do you know more than 600 women in UK have been inspired by Sue Botterill's story, and with her help, they have set up their local magazine and start their successful home business!

I love to come across real life stories on how women succeed in their home business!It is so motivating for others who stay at home and want to start doing something and earn some money.

This marvelous lady is a mum of three. She quitted her job as a successful manager when her first son was born. When her older boys started school and she tried to find a part time job so that she can still mind her younger daughter at home. Nonetheless, most part time jobs are not well paid and it was really frustrating that she cannot put her skills in use and gain good financial returns.

That is so true.
I personally come across lots of women who hold good degrees and have given up their career to mind their children. They will love to do some fruitful jobs that match their skills for a few hours a day. Unfortunately, some jobs are hard to come by. Most employers are still not flexible enough to let their workers work flexi-time.

So what did Sue Botterill do to kick start a home based business?

They moved to a new area and one day she thought that it would be great if someone has a little booklet of local services that will be so useful to new folks like her that just join in the local community. She does not need a mighty book like Yellow Pages but just a small handy booklet to tell her where her local services like Dentists, plumbers are, their opening hours and so on.

This little booklet became a wonder in their town and was launched as The Dickens Heath Directory. It featured advertising, restaurant reviews, features on local businesses and local events. Amazingly, she made 1800 pounds in her first month!

That was back in 2002. She has since then package the whole program http://www.my-mag-uk.com that provides the A-Z on how to set up a local magazine and helps others who want to start a home based business too. Many women had since then succeeded to achieve financial security and personal freedom together using this highly successful publishing system.

Isn't this motivating if you wants to start your home based business too?

Why do you want to Work at Home?

Setting up a home based business will require much effort and lots of self-discipline. It is not going to be easy at all. But having said that, when you think about the great benefits of working for yourself, they will act as a source of motivation for you when things go tough!

It pays to work at home :)

1. You gain work Freedom

Imagine: You are your own boss. Slow down and digest these words again.

You gain control of your work life;
You charter your career growth;
You set your own rules;
You decide what to do.

Work freedom is powerful.

You can plan your work life according to your lifestyle needs, family needs, personal beliefs, goals and so on. You can work according to your strengths and your interests. For example, I know of this work-at-home mum who was fired and started a special birthday cake business. She enjoys making cakes and so she manages to churn out the most unusual and creative cake designs for birthday occasions and that turns out to be a successful home based business.

2. You gain freedom to stay at home

Imagine: No more traffic nightmares, working in the comfort of your pajamas at your own home.

The mere thought of not driving an hour each to and fro commuting for work is enough to set me fire up to start a home business! That is 2 hours saved daily, 5 hours a week, up to 240 hours saved a year and this precious time can be better spent on family, personal development or hobbies. There is no need to dress up everyday (for women, this translate to big financial savings) as you can wear your favorite old tees and jeans for work.

3. You gain time to spend with your family

Imagine: You do not need to see your boss's unhappy face when you cannot turn up for work because your baby is sick. You can stand outside the school gate to collect your child from school and she does not need to go to the after school care anymore.

I remember the days where I had to rush off work and drove like a mad driver to collect my kid from creche. It was worst when the meeting had gone beyond scheduled time and I was again the last mum to pick up my kid from creche. There are so manmomsms out there today juggle with work commitments and home. Isn't it good if you can work while staying at home to care for a sick child, or continue to work late at night after preparing and sharing dinner with the family? Since you work alone, there is no deadline imposed by your boss. You only need to follow the deadlines and schedules you have set for yourself.

4. You determine your own success and reap your own financial rewards

As a home based entrepreneur, when you work extra hard and put in all the extra hours, the ultimate benefits go back to you. You can manage your time schedule and concentrate on the efforts that bring most financial compensation. It can be so motivating that sometimes many people can get too overwhelmed and face burning out. However if you have strong self discipline and good time management, you can control your working path. You may find yourself growing more confident when your business takes off and learning more skills that you otherwise cannot if you stay in your old job.

Whatever is your reason that prompts you to start a home based business, remember it and use it to motivate yourself when things do not happen as planned. Setting up a home based business may be much harder than what you have thought, but when you achieve success, the rewards will be greater than what you can imagine.

I wish all the success,

Stay in a luxury home as your home business!

Are you one of those that enjoy UK style TV program that show those beautiful country side houses and wish you can stay in them?
Or the other day you see this luxury detached villa in Moraira, one of the most exclusive areas of the Costa Blanca and it is surrounded by natural beauty, situated on a hilltop with 360 degrees of sea and panoramic views, and you know you will never own one….
Why must you own a country mansion if you want to stay in one?
What if I tell you there are folks out there who get paid to stay and relax on other people’s mansions?
I am talking about a new home business trend – HOUSE-SITTING.
I heard a lady called Sue, a retired secretary, came across the concept of house-sitting after seeing an advert in a magazine. Her first assignment is to look after a big country house in Cheshire where it has huge gardens and valuable antique furniture. Surely enough, it was beyond her wildest dream to step into a house like that not to mention now to have the opportunity to stay in it.
Her assignments later brought her to mansions with 100’s of acres of land, fishing lake and golf courses, indeed almost every assignment taken was like a big holiday.
And the best part is, she is paid for it. Paid to stay in a luxury home!
Needless to say, there are plenty of opportunities for this house-sitting business as there are more and more millionaires with grand houses out there and they will want someone to safeguard their houses when they go on holidays.
Morale of the story:
You can develop your interest to become a business.
And it is never too late or too old to start your home business.

Home Business: Is It For You?
The first step in deciding whether to start a business is to ask yourself this important question: "Do I have what it takes to be an entrepreneur?" Studying the characteristics of successful business owners will help you to tell whether your personality traits, experiences, and values are similar to those who have succeeded. And assessing your experience, skills, and life goals will also help you decide if you want to invest the energy, time, and resources that successful entrepreneurship requires.

If you want know if you are the type that can set up a home business, there is another article in this blog :Is a Home Business Right for You?".Check it out!

Best of luck

Networking Your Home Business within Circles of Influence
Copyright © Stone Evans, The Home Biz Guy
http://www.PlugInProfitSite.com/main-10642

When you need an auto mechanic or an air
conditioning repairman, where do you turn for
help? Sure, some people turn to the yellow
pages. But most will turn to friends and family
and ask if they know of anyone who can do the
work.

The best place for your business to be positioned
is to be the business on the tips of the tongues
of the people asked to make the referral.

THE 300 RULE

Preachers, funeral directors and people in a few
other professions have learned "the 300 rule"
through their own personal experience.

"The 300 rule" states that the average person
knows 300 people on a friendly level. Wedding
planners tend to make reservations for 300
guests. Funeral directors tend to need to make
room for 300 mourners. You get the idea.

DOODLING WITH CIRCLES OF INFLUENCE

Imagine your circle of friends, family and
acquaintances, a.k.a. your circle of influence.
Now, draw your circle of influence as a circle on
a blank piece of paper.

Next, contemplate the people in your parents'
circle of influence. Some people who know your
parents also know you. Therefore, you will share
some influence with the people your folks know.
Now draw your parents' circle of influence on your
piece of paper.

Your circle and your parents' circle will
intersect in one area, although the larger
majority of the two circles will not intersect.
If you are like most people, the two circles on
your page at this point looks very similar to the
MasterCard logo.

Now imagine drawing a page full of intersecting
circles, each circle representing the circle of
influence of the people who are within your own
circle of influence. Imagine trying to
encapsulate an accurate rendering of where your
circle and the circle of your friends will
actually intersect.

Some circles will share a large area of space,
while others will barely cover one another.

Actually, you can only imagine at this point what
your piece of paper will look like. The actual
layout of the circles imagined in this analogy is
simply too overwhelming for the mind to
comprehend.

THE BIG PICTURE

300 multiplied by 300 equals 90,000. By using the
analogy of doodles in the previous section, the
average person can actually network with up to
90,000 people! Even factoring in the overlap,
one can still probably network with 50,000 people
through their own circle of influence!

Simply amazing, isn't it?

HERE IS THE SECRET TO YOUR SUCCESS

There are 300 people on this planet whom you have
a reasonable amount of influence. Take advantage
of this fact. Make darn sure that every person
within your own circle of influence KNOWS that
you are in business for yourself, and make sure
they understand what your business offers.

When your friend is asked to make a referral,
they will recommend you.

PASSIVE VERSUS ACTIVE REFERRAL NETWORKING

When people ask your friends for a referral and
your friend mentions your business, that is
passive referral networking.

Active referral networking is when you can get
your friends go directly to their friends and say
"Hey, I have a friend who just started a
business. If you are in need of what he offers or
you know someone who will need his services,
would you please give my friend a call or make
the referral to his business?"

If you can get even a portion of the people in
your own circle of influence to actively refer
your business, then you have built the foundation
to build an advertising campaign even more
effective than the average local television
advertising campaign.

Think about that for a moment.

Most people only dream of reaching 50,000
potential customers with their television
advertising dollars. You now have the knowledge
to reach 50,000 people without spending a single
penny.

Is a Home Business Right for You?
Copyright © Stone Evans, The Home Biz Guy
http://www.PlugInProfitSite.com/main-10642

Every morning as people wake up and make the
commute to work, many dream of the day when they
will finally work for themselves. Every time the
boss lets someone know that they must give up
their weekend plans for the good of the company,
people contemplate the benefits of being the
owner of their own business.

Are you one of these people?

If you are, it is important to ask yourself some
very important questions before you make the
uncertain leap into self-employment.

Many dream of the benefits of home business
ownership, but few take into account the
sacrifices that must be made to bring the dream
to fruition. Please don't make this mistake
yourself.

You must approach home business ownership with
your eyes wide open. Ask yourself the important
questions, and more importantly, answer your own
questions openly and honestly.

AN IMPORTANT CONSIDERATION

Are you the type of person who relishes every
chance to gather around the water cooler for
social interaction?

If so, then home business ownership may not be
the right decision for you.

Instead, if you feel that you can be quite
content sitting alone at your desk; speaking only
to clients and really minding your own home
business, then you might have what it takes to
succeed as a home business entrepreneur.

If you feel at ease with your own company and
don't need a dozen coworkers milling around your
desk, then you, too, could savor the freedoms
that will allow you and your family, to live the
lifestyle you know you want and deserve.

THE KEY TO HOME BUSINESS SUCCESS

Self-motivation is the key to success when you
start a home-based business. You need to possess
the ability to push yourself ahead. Your drive
and determination will be reinforced with every
new sale.

The level of success that you will achieve
greatly depends on the time and effort you are
willing to plow into your new home business. Your
organization, planning and marketing skills, will
all be put into practice when you embark on your
liberating journey from employee, to being your
own boss. In fact, you will be the wearer of many
hats and gain a wealth of business experience
along the way, when you finally make that
commitment to work at home.

YOUR SUCCESS RESTS ENTIRELY UPON YOUR OWN
SHOULDERS

You will now be the boss. Are you truly able to
work independently? Do you have the drive; the
tenacity, to persevere with your home based
business? Will you be able to invest the
necessary time to nurture it, to watch it grow
and see it through, from germination to full,
glorious bloom? When you're the boss, you are
responsible for the success of your home
business, from A to Z, from disappointments to
victory.

When you work at home, it will empower you to
achieve many things you were unable to do when
you were stuck working for that tyrant boss.
Remember him? He's the guy that wouldn't let
you take time off when your baby was sick...the
same guy that called you in to work on
Thanksgiving Day.

A home business means that you can take good care
of your family and make money from home,
simultaneously. You will have the best of both
worlds! Just think--no more dirty laundry piling
up--you can do it while you work. No more
scurrying around at the last minute searching for
a babysitter either. And no more worrying about
getting fired; you'll be the boss!

IN CONCLUSION...

Stay positive and focused on your home based
business, even if, when sales aren't up to par,
you get occasional negative remarks or derogatory
comments from people with stuffy, dead-end jobs.
Ignore their cutting words and bear in mind that
success is the best revenge! Keep your admirable,
positive attitude at the forefront and show them
what you're made of!

How to Stay Focused on Your Home Business Goals
Copyright © Stone Evans, The Home Biz Guy
http://www.PlugInProfitSite.com/main-10642

When you are the owner of a home business, you
will find hundreds of distractions that vie for
your time, energy and focus.

Common distractions include: children, family,
friends, neighbors, pets, phone calls, mail,
household chores, video games, television,
neighborhood children, visitors, and so many more.

As an owner of a home based business, you must
always remember your purpose in bringing your
profession home. What was your reason for wanting
to own a home business? Was your goal to work
from home so that you can share in the lives of
your children? Was your goal to be out from under
the rule of a tyrannical boss? Was your goal to
have the freedom to work when it is convenient
for you? Was your goal to make tons of money
working for yourself?

Here's a few good tips that will help you stay
focused on your home business:

TIP #1:

Whatever your reason for going out on your own,
you must keep your reason in the forefront of
your mind. If you forget your reason for starting
your own home business, you will not be working
for yourself for long. It is far too easy to let
circumstance drive your activities --- and when
circumstance is in the driver's seat, you are
more likely to crash and burn.

TIP #2:

Remember --- your own business is a lot like a
real job. Some people go to work to play, some go
to socialize, and others --- most often those who
are paid in a commission or tip environment
--- go to work to work and to make money. When
you work for yourself, your salary is directly
proportional to your productivity. Therefore,
wouldn't it make sense to stay focused on getting
as much done in as short of a period as possible?

Go to work to work and to make money. Leave
playtime and recreation for when your workday has
ended.

TIP #3:

When you are dealing with family in the course of
your workday, it is important to schedule your
activities as much as possible. With small
children, you must take time when you must, but
you should also work hard to make sure you
dedicate a specific number of hours to your
workday.

With older children, it is much easier to tell
them that you will be working between the hours
of x and y. Your children and your friends must
understand that certain hours of your day are
devoted to the activities of your business.

TIP #4:

Don't permit your friends and extended family to
run over you. Many people get the blind idea that
if one works from home then they are not actually
working.

Well-meaning people may try to fill your doorway
to bring advice about getting a real job. Others
may simply believe that if you are at home, then
you are fair game for chitchat and socialization.

You must stand firm. You must make certain your
friends and family understands that when you are
working, then you ARE working! If they wish to
socialize with you, then they need to do it
during the hours that are not dedicated to your
home business.

You are the only one who can stand up for you.
Your friends and family will seldom be able to
appreciate your dedication to your home business,
unless you make the effort to make sure that they
have the same respect for your business that you
do.

TIP #5:

You should allot a certain portion of your day to
email and to regular mail. For example, allot one
hour in the morning and one hour in the afternoon
to handling your written communications.

Unless you dedicate certain times to the handling
of these communications, you will soon find
yourself on the downward slope of decreased
productivity.

TIP #6:

When you find yourself spending too much time
doing non-productive activities, then you should
seriously consider finding a third-party service
provider who will assist you in those
non-profitable business activities.

As an example, you might be in the mail-order
business. You might believe that your time is
best spent writing ad copy and setting up your
advertising, but you find yourself spending far
too much time taking care of your books to take
care of your advertising in the manner that you
should. In this event, it might make more sense
to hire a bookkeeper to handle your financial
records for you.

CONCLUSION:

In the end, the success of your home business is
entirely and completely reliant upon you and the
decisions that you make.

You had your reasons for deciding to start your
own home based business. You must always keep
your reasons in the forefront of your mind. You
must always be able to rely upon your own self
and your dedication to the success of your
business.

Your friends and family might be annoyed that
they cannot come visit upon their own whim, but
when success comes to you and your business, they
will better appreciate you for putting your foot
down when necessary.

Success is within your reach, if only you can
stay focused on your goals. You must decide to
reach for your goals, and then, you must have the
discipline necessary to reach them.
