In the present employment situation, although the economy is improving, jobs are still difficult to find. Employers rely on the CV to decide firstly who to call for interview and secondly who to employ. Although a good interviewee personality counts for a lot, the CV could be the deciding factor.

Six Secrets to Creating a Successful Business

1. Choose something that really fires your interest. Whatever you choose should not just be a way of making money. You need to really love what you’re doing. This passion will carry you through the lows that any business will suffer at some time or other.

2. Find a new twist on an already successful idea. Look for some product, service or system that you enjoy and see if you can adapt or improve on it to create your own product.

3. Whatever you create must be something a lot of people will want to buy.   Even if you product is good you won’t be successful if it only appeals to a small, niche market.

4. Your start-up and running costs must be low. A small new business that has high running costs is pretty well a disaster waiting to happen. Small business, small start-up investment, small running costs. Economise as much as possible without cutting quality.

5. Keep your accounting and economics simple. Nothing difficult. Just a simple formula.

Profit = selling price minus buying price minus costs.

6. Really work on marketing. You need to be smart and professional. Customers won’t search for you if they don’t know you’re there and that your product is the best on the market. Study how other successful entrepreneurs do it. What brought to your attention the suppliers of things you have purchased in the past? How easy was it to find them?

Now think about it. What is your passion? What is missing that you think would make it more enjoyable?

 

The Key to Success

The world is in a sorry financial state at the moment. People are losing their jobs with poor prospects of finding new ones.

There is no need for anyone to be unemployed.

I can sense load squawks of horror! 'What does this idiot woman think she’s talking about?'

Everyone has some skills, qualities, ideas, experience or time that a lot of other people will be eager to pay for – when they know what it is and when and how they can find it. The trouble is that many of us don’t realise that we have anything worthwhile.

You’ve probably read that statement in my blogs before because it’s a point I can’t make often enough.

 O.K. So it’s not easy, but starting your own small business is very do-able.

Something else that you will have read before – being in an economic downturn is the ideal starting point for becoming your own boss.

Small businesses have lower overheads, fewer staff so less paperwork and expense and freedom to enjoy the fruits of your own labour – and nobody can sack you.

The key to success is to start NOW.

To sum up:-

Why Be Self Employed?

In order to enjoy your life you need two things:

Firstly you need enough freedom to be able to do whatever you want without worrying about money.

Secondly you need enough money to not have to work in a dead end job you hate just to get by.

Economic times are going to be very hard for a while and ~ there is no job security for anyone except the boss.

So now is the time for setting up your own business so that you are the boss who can’t be sacked. We’ve been warned that possibly for the next ten years times are going to be hard. Belts will have to be tightened and living standards will be lower than we have come to expect.

Bad times don’t last for ever. Things eventually get better.

When the economy – or anything else – is at the bottom, the only way is up.

While the majority of people sit back and complain, you can start something small that will grow with the economy.

Remember the entrepreneur’s adage. “When the going gets tough, the tough get going. Tough times don't last - tough people do!"

Money-making ventures started now will grow as things improve. The majority of large, successful businesses started small in times of recession or at least economic hardship. They were also started by ordinary, usually nearly penniless people who knew that they had to do something to survive with any degree of comfort.

 People who don’t desperately need money don’t usually have the burning passion needed to grow something big from something very small. So now is the time to say goodbye to stress, goodbye to deadlines, goodbye to coming home from work every night tired and depressed and start thinking.

Don’t scare yourself by thinking too big at the start. Being your own boss should be enjoyable so grow at your own pace.

Concentrate on the important things.

Visit Show Me Financial Freedom and look at the Business Opportunities page. I’ll be updating it regularly but for the moment I’d like you to look at two short Ebooks books in the “Show Me Financial Freedom – the Key to Success” series by Lesley Cooper available from Amazon.

The first is “Make Money From Car Boot Sales And Markets ~ The easy way to boost your income and build a successful business”

The second is “Twelve Easy Ways To Make Money With Your Camera - Tips on how to start a successful business as a photographer.”

These first two Ebooks in the series will give you some ideas to work on. Look for something in them that you enjoy doing. If there is nothing that lights your fire it won’t be long before more are prepared and uploaded.

Survive The Recession And Grow

Listening to the news can be depressing. Terrorism and 'weapons of mass destruction' are no longer the main threat. Economic collapse worldwide is looming. Now is the time to act.
Two things to think about.

a)   When the going gets tough, the tough get going.
b)   Don't wait until you're up to your neck in alligators before you start draining the swamp. (Think about it.)

1)      Look for a money making opportunity. Why not start a business at home? If you can earn a second income it will be the first step in gaining financial freedom. Follow this plan to get started on the right road.

2)      Be positively optimistic. Making money at home is not impossible but if you have a negative approach you will never achieve anything.

3)      Do not mix with people who are negative. If they are members of your family so you can’t avoid them make it quite clear that being negative will not be tolerated. Let everyone else moan about how hard up they are now. You are going to do something about it.

4)      Being positive not letting your problems overwhelm you. It is not the same as ignoring the facts. So now you must make a complete breakdown of your financial situation. Sort them into a) Urgent (mortgage or rent, utility bills, Direct Debits, credit card or loan repayments, etc.). b) Important (living expenses, clothes, entertainment, etc.)  Can be postponed, reduced or cancelled (magazine subscriptions, club memberships, entertainments.)

5)      Now you need to look for money making business ideas and business opportunities. Everyone has some skill, information, experience or time that other people will be glad to pay for. So start thinking, start writing and work out just what you have to offer. Need help to develop your ideas?

Don’t Be Caught Out By Extravagant Promises.

These are desperate times. And it is at times like these that people are tempted to try these schemes that cost anything from £5,000-£9,000. And there are enough of them about. What makes them really attractive is the promise that if you don’t make a profit in the first few months you will be refunded anything you’ve spent.

Sounds great doesn’t it? You can’t lose – until you read the small print on the acceptance document you receive when you’ve made your money.

Somewhere near the end of the letter will be a sentence pointing out that the cost of the course isn’t included in that promise. Only expenses accrued after the introductory course will be considered. Even if you have only made £1 profit you won’t be able to claim.

Perhaps you realise that the opportunity may not be as golden as it first appeared but there is a let-out clause. The seminars are usually two or three days long. The promise is that if you think the business is not for you as long as you back out by the afternoon you can reclaim the full fee.

Drawback! - The full details of what commitment is required in the way of time and cash are not always made clear on the first day. In fact negative points are not made until it is too late.

What the people who promote these courses don’t tell you is that they make their money from selling the course to hopefuls like us, not from following the course.

To my mind the promoters of these courses are guilty of mis-selling. Trading Standards agree but as most of the people in the department know nothing about internet business they aren’t interested in following it up.

It is because of these what I see as dodgy practices that I decided to put together the Prospecting For Gold programme.

Prospecting For Gold helps you to find and develop a full or part time business (the choice is yours) using only the time and money you have at your disposal. There are guidelines for getting started even if you have little time and no money. You are helped to find what skills, knowledge or experience you have that people will be anxious to buy or learn.

You will learn how to get people to pay you for what they want from you.

And the unique promise is that at any time you can stop using the course and restart it whenever you want at the place you left off. You don’t have to start again from the beginning. And of course you don’t make any payments when you are not taking the monthly manuals.

It doesn’t cost thousands or even hundreds. I can offer Prospecting For Gold for just £27 per month. (Outside the UK fees will be slightly higher related to the cost of postage.)

What Will Success Mean to You?

We all want to be successful but the word 'success' means different things to different people. Which is your definition?

Success 1. Wealth. I want to be a multimillionaire. I want at least one large car and to live ina mansion in the country. I also want to have a large yacht and apartments or houses in the United States and in the most popular European countries. I want to mix with important and famous people.

Success 2. Power. I want to make my mark in the business world. I would exercise great influence in this field and earn in excess of £1 million per year minimum. I would enjoy having the power over people and events.

Success 3. Contentment. I want to have enough money to live comfortably and to have the freedom to enjoy my private life, to spend time with my family and friends and to enjoy my hobbies to the full. I want to be able to make as much money as I want when I want it but my success depends on my happiness and the happiness of my family. The operative word is contentment.

Which appeals to you? Personally I enjoy being out of the rat race. I'm free to enjoy my life in the way I want, in the country with my horses, dog and other animals. It suits me and I am happy. But I also know that if I wanted more I have the capability and confidence to acquire all want. To me, that is success.
