What do successful companies have in common?

An Idea That’s a question that has always intrigued us ….. and we don’t have the magic answer for you here but we do have some thoughts to share.

Chris and I have both spent a good part of our lifetime as entrepreneurs and been involved with starting up companies and helping others to do the same.

I started my first business in 1983 when my son Stuart was born (and long before I knew Chris) and in 1993 a couple of years after I met Chris we started a management consultancy business which we still have although our focus has changed somewhat.

All we can say is that in whatever we do we have a will to succeed – it’s not always easy and there are pitfalls along the way but if you persevere and never give up (in the words of Winston Churchill) you’ll get there in the end.

It all starts with an idea

Now, this blog post is not a story of our business life but rather an introduction to what we’ve discovered in most successful business owners …. an idea and the desire to succeed!

During our journey (which we are still on) we’ve learnt a lot along the way, reading books and studying the success and experiences of many men and women who launched successful companies. There is so much to learn from them ….. and they weren’t all successful to begin with either! They did all have a good idea though.

Fred Smith (Fed Ex)

Herb Kelleher (Southwest Airlines),

Mary Kay Ash (Mary Kay Cosmetics)

Ray Kroc (McDonalds)

……. to name but a few

What were the keys to their success?

What did each company have in common? The clue is in the title!

Ways to Make Money Online From Home

On the run up to Christmas it’s a great time to reflect on the past 12 months and make those all important decisions for the forthcoming year.

If you have been thinking that you would like to make money online from home then there really is no better time to get started – New Year New Start!

There are numerous ways in which you can make money online from home and you have to do your research thoroughly to ensure you don’t get sucked into the infamous “get rich quick schemes” you find when you goolgle “make money online“.

We recently researched those terms and came out with 520 million results! No wonder that people don’t get started when there is such overwhelm out there.

Looking back over the past 2 years when we first started our research and began to build our online business – technology has moved on at such a fast pace and social media which was in it’s infancy is now an integral part of your online business. But we digress ……….

…… with the benefit of hindsight we can share our experiences with you and help you to find a way to make money online from home the right way …… and it is possible.

Top Tops To Make Money Online

Choose the right business for you – this should be something that you enjoy and can be passionate about.

Choose a market where there is high demand for your products and services. Establish what problems they are having and provide a solution. Internet marketing training and education for example is a huge market with a wide range of “customers”

Have the right business model – you want a sustainable long term online business and not one that is “here today and gone tomorrow”

Create multiple streams of income. If one takes a downturn for any reason then there will be others to support you e.g. passive, affiliate and high ticket.

Truly believe you can achieve what you have set out to do. If you do not totally believe then invest in some personal development.

Learn the skills that running an online business and becoming an internet marketer require. The most important ones are marketing and traffic generation. You won’t make money online without them!

Totally focus on the tasks in hand. Do not get sidetracked by “other projects” and “other opportunities”.

Take persistent and consistent action. This does not mean saying you will take action it means actually doing it.

Find a mentor to support and guide you. This should be someone who has done before what you are trying to achieve and willing to share their knowledge with you.

Follow a system which provides all the latest internet marketing and traffic generation techniques.

Working online is an ideal work from home business and can fit very well around family and work commitments. However, it is not about making ‘easy money’ and you do need the right tools to build your business and achieve success.
