So many marketers out there are approaching their business the wrong way.
They just don’t realize that, with a little planning on their end,
they could be marketing their product "hands free"?
No calling strangers. No buying leads. Just responding to prospects
who contact them after studying their offer. And the whole process
might take them all of a few hours a week just to manage.
How is this possible?
Technology is the answer. Technology allows us to work smart instead
of way too hard. There are systems out there which allow you to do this.
One example is GRN Team Builder, recently launched to help Global
Resorts Network representatives automate their businesses.
Global Resorts Network offers a luxury travel club membership for sale.
This is an alternative to timeshare ownership. What is unique, or
unusual, is that the rates for booking the accommodations are not
seasonally adjusted. Members are able to book luxurious resort properties
at any time during the year. A fixed rate applies all year long.
GRN Team Builder offers an “automated prospector” to GRN representatives
so they do not have to spend all of their time on the phone. This allows
them to devote more time to marketing their GRN business. In addition,
GRN Team Builder offers a plug-in marketing solution that allows members
to begin driving high quality traffic to their automated prospector the
very first day. This traffic is converted into leads which are then
contacted automatically by Virtual Assistants.
One of the greatest points of failure for most attempting to earn income
from home has to be prospecting. It is truly difficult to find the time
or the stamina to talk with enough strangers to sort through all the "leads"
to find real qualified buyers. Add to this the fact that most people have
no desire to be thrust into a "sales" role, and we have a real problem.
When prospects respond an ad placed by a GRN representative using GRN Team
Builder, the Virtual Assistants do all the talking for them. So if you
joined GRN and decided to utilize GRN Team Builder…what do you have to do?
It’s very simple…utilize the tools provided by GRN Team Builder to drive
traffic to your site…sit back…and collect checks…
Once you set your business up properly, making money truly is a passive process.

Mistakes in Business are Common and Happend Everyday!!
Running a successful business comes from a combination of perseverance, timing the market, and constantly staying ahead of the game. It is also dependant on avoiding mistakes and learning from the past. A wise man once said that it is but a waste of time to reinvent the wheel, and it is likewise a waste of time to make the same errors others have made and learned from. With this in mind, here are three of the most common mistakes in business, and what you should do to avoid them.
Mistake Number One: Slicing the Ad Budget
A lot of young business owners think they can use the money that would be spent on advertising and put it into other areas without much harm to their business. After all, how many of us have sat around the television watching the latest Mt. Dew or Nike commercials and wondered why they would spend so much money advertising a product everyone in the country already knows about. That may or may not be a valid question, but it's not to the point. The fact is, if you're just starting out, people do not know about your product, and without the proper advertising budget, they never will. Without knowledge, there are no sales, and with no sales, your business won't last long.
Mistake Number Two: Underestimating the Competition
This mistake can actually go both ways. Too many people get into business with the idea that they will simply copy their competitor's recipe for success, follow it to the tee, and reap the same benefits. This rarely, if ever, works. While studying the competition is necessary, copying their business model is a mistake. If they are already successful following a certain plan of action, what makes you think you can bring customers over to your business by doing the same? You need to be better than the competition. Better or cheaper. But beware, playing the price game can run you out of business quicker than almost any other single tactic.
Mistake Number Three: Ill Preparedness
Starting and running a successful business means research. It means studying the market you're in, and then studying it some more. If you ever feel like you know everything there is to know about the line of work you're in, it's time to go find a magazine or an internet piece or a TV report and realize that you couldn't be more wrong. While you're resting on your laurels, someone else is developing the next hot product or service that may drive you out of business. To avoid that nasty prospect, make sure you keep up with everything happening in your market.
Mistakes in business are common and they happen every day. Few of them are going to drive you out of business, but they are best avoided if you want to reach the top of your chosen market. As long as you stay abreast of what's current in your field, watch the competition carefully, and spend judiciously on advertising, you should be able to avoid the most common and dangerous of these business mistakes.

From Business to Lifestyle
From Business to Lifestyle
Have you ever noticed that writers are also avid readers? Did you know that musicians who play instruments or sing also enjoy listening to music? Ever wonder why high powered CEOs who love the business they are in will read business journals and other industry specific literature over lunch? The answer is surprisingly simple: for them their business and way or making a living has actually become a lifestyle. More often than not, these individuals are doing what they love; thus their talents, skills, and interests determined which profession to choose.
Of course, many others have found jobs that neither reflect any hobby, talent, and enjoyable activity but are little more than ways to make money in an effort to feed a family and provide for personal needs. Even though there is nothing wrong with this way of earning a living, you will be able to differentiate these workers by what they do in their off time. If you do not see the secretary hone her skills after hours by working to increase her typing speed, if the nurse after hours does not read up on new medical advances, and if the cook after hours does not work on perfecting a new signature dish, then the odds are good that the job is not so much an extension of them but merely a necessary activity to be performed in a limited amount of time.
Interestingly, this is also a great way of differentiating the successful entrepreneur from the one who will barely hang on. If you embark on multi level marketing (MLM) or any other form of network marketing, and do not have the desire to turn it from business to lifestyle, then you most likely are not going to become a natural at your given profession. You may end up being the network marketer who is constantly changing the magnets and stickers on the car to reflect the latest and greatest networking opportunity you have found and who is a barely tolerated guest at family functions for fear that you will once again break out into yet another sales pitch for the latest widget you are selling.
Putting together an effective down line will be like pulling teeth simply because would-be entrepreneurs are not drawn to you. Similarly, customers do not see you as the genuine article and you will have a harder time than most closing sales. This is not to say that you cannot have a financially rewarding career in network marketing, not so! You will, however, have to work a lot harder for your success and your sale than other who will transcend the business only attitude and actually turn their job into a passion that not only governs what they read, but also the need to join organizations, to network even if there is not profit involved, and who will seek to further the business as a whole and not just their own company.
Going from business to lifestyle is only possible if you believe in the product you are selling and if you are willing and able to participate in the intricacies of network marketing in the first place. Those who are not cut out for this line of work will never have the ability to make it into a lifestyle. Before becoming a network marketer, make sure it is in your blood!
