Stay on the Edge Like Patrick Chan for Greater Business Success

Patrick Chan, Men's Singles World Gold Medalist, 2011, 2012, men's singles figure skating, has been quoted as saying, "If you're not on the edge, you're taking up too much space."  That describes his career so aptly, with his constant commitment to ingenuity, excellence and exploring new frontiers in his sport.

How do we measure up to those standards in the business realm with pursuing new markets, adding innovative marketing programs, perfecting customer service and so much more?  What would our businesses look like today and in the future, if we were as dedicated as Patrick Chan to be "on the edge" in creative and exciting ways?

There is a balance in following proven paths for success along with newer methods, when developing a home based business in referral marketing.  The traditional key elements would be cited in four basic steps:  1.  Open a conversation.  Ask questions and listen for areas where your product or service would add value to a person's life  2.  Set a time to discuss your proposal in detail, meeting in person to discuss in greater detail, answering questions and hopefully helping them make a positive decision.  3.  Follow up with more information as needed.  4.  Provide excellent training once they have purchased products or decided to represent your company and join your organization.

The internet has changed marketing methods dramatically, with social media outlets, online ads, skype, blogs, Twitter and so on.  You can now build international sources of income from the comfort of your home office without venturing outside the front door.

How are you keeping your business "on the edge"?  Where could you explore new frontiers and bring greater momentum and excitement?

Patience and Persistence Pay Off When You Work From Home

Financial freedom requires persistence, dedication, action and a lot of patience.

On a recent trip to Florida on business, I walked the beach in the morning, passing this heron, who could stand still for what seemed like forever, staring into the ocean.  What you can't see in the photo, is that straight ahead of him was a fellow throwing his line in for fish.

The heron was very patient, knowing his meal would eventually be coming in.  As soon as the fisherman began to reel in a fish, the heron headed for the shore with amazing speed and stole the catch.  He understood the power and fruitfulness of patience.  The fisherman learned that he should move to another location.


This amusing scenario reminded me to be aware of where others are successful with their business, should that be a wise move for me.  Then, be sure that no one is waiting to snatch away my rewards.  Also, both the heron and the fisherman had to be patient and persistent in their pursuit of a "customer". 


Where can you apply more patience and persistence in your business?

For Better Business, Take a Break to Refresh Your Mind

Nothing refreshes the mind and body from the routine of business like a brisk walk or run.

On a recent business trip to Florida, I escaped the cooler climate of home turf and thoroughly enjoyed a great way to start the day, running and walking on the beach.  Otherwise, since I work from home, I just head out our front door at any time of the day to breathe the fresh air, clear my mind and wake up my muscles with a run (or power walk) in the neighborhood.


It's easy to think we don't have time to fit in exercise, but it's as easy as running up and down the stairs at home or the office.  Park further away than normal when shopping, to get in those extra steps.  Book regular time with a personal trainer or friend first thing in the morning to get into a fitness routine.  Attend yoga or aerobics classes to be encouraged with group activity.


The benefits of physical fitness are so immense for the short and long haul, that a savvy business person can't afford to ignore this aspect of health.  Strengthen your immune system, restore your mind, build stronger muscles and bones, create greater happiness.


What will you do today for a refreshing fitness break?

Montel Williams Inspires at Health and Happiness Summit

Montel Williams, popular television personality, inspired the audience at the recent Health and Happiness Summit in New York City, with the question we should all ask ourselves at the end of the day, "What did I do today that's worth talking about tomorrow?"

He suggested writing three successful things down that you did that day and then say them out loud the next morning to start your day out for success.

Great idea that requires some discipline in a daily journal, and then log what a difference that makes in your life.

#New York, Everywhere, Filled with Prospects

On a business trip to New York, visiting Times Square, we were keenly aware that everywhere we went, there were potential customers for our home based business.  In that city alone, we would never run out of people to speak with, especially since the city is teeming with visitors from other states and countries.  When you have a global business, the opportunities for growth are limitless, but the challenge is to strike up meaningful conversations that could lead to potential business.


We often use a rendition of the standard FORM system, creating a conversation that inquires about a person's Family, Business Organization, Recreational interests and Money (openness to other streams of income).  Being in the health industry, we also find ways to inquire about their concern for staying healthy or for addressing health issues.


When they ask what we do, we can then answer according to what we've just learned.  For example, "Well, you know how you mentioned that you don't have enough time for your family?  Well, what we do is help busy business people create ongoing, residual income, to free up their time."


Or another example might be, "You mentioned your concern about the economic downturn and the resulting ceiling on your income.  What we do is help people create multiple streams of income, without interfering with their present jobs, so that the economy is not a concern."


We struck up a conversation with a fellow in the Delta airport lounge, and in the course of that, the lady sitting next to him asked for information too.  Most everyone is open to developing additional income sources.


For information on multiple streams of income:
