"We have sown and we have harvested, but without rainfall in the spring, there was not much to reap this year," lamented Noah as he sat down in front of the fire. Sarah stared at her husband, but did not say anything. It was not the best moment to tell Noah that she was expecting a baby, their first.

"Come and sit down by me, Sarah," went on Noah in a grave voice. "There is something I want to tell you." Sarah did what her husband asked from her and looked at him, trying not to show her alarm. During their years together, they had often gone through difficult times, but she had never heard Noah sound so desperate, so defeated.

Noah reflected for a long moment and then he shook his head. His words came out slowly, reluctantly. "I've had a vision, Sarah. God has talked to me." Sarah bit her lip and waited, since she knew what was coming. She did not believe in God herself, but she had always respected Noah's strong religiosity.

"Friends and neighbours are already going hungry," continued Noah, "and after paying taxes, we will have nothing left ourselves. If we just wait and hope, we might not make it through the winter." Sarah turned her eyes to the fire, searching her mind for words of encouragement to say to her husband, but she found none.

Suddenly, Noah's voice changed and his tone became determined, pressing. "God has told me that we must move. I am to sell our farm for whatever price I can get and use the money to build a boat, a large one." He was interrupted by Sarah's surprised reaction. "A boat? What do you want to do with a boat? You know nothing about fishing."

"There are wide fertile fields down the river, Sarah, I have seen them in my dream. God has told me that we can start a new farm there, a new life. I am to purchase a pair of goats, a pair of chicken, and a pair of sheep, male and female, and take them with us in the boat."

From all the nonsensical projects that Sarah had heard from her husband night after night, year after year, this was by far the most daring and, at the same time, the most insane. From their first encounter, Sarah had loved Noah because he was an entrepreneur. Unfortunately, as it had turned out, a crazy one.

A pair of goats on a boat, what lunacy, thought Sarah, taking in a deep breath. Once again, it was up to her to put some sense into Noah's mind. "Only a pair of each is too risky," she objected firmly, "we should take a least two pairs of each sort, male and female."

It was the first time that Sarah had expressed support for any of Noah's high-risk ideas and he was so taken aback, that it took him a while to reply. "What if I am wrong, Sarah? What if we lose everything we have?"

Sarah contemplated the reflection of the flames in Noah's eyes. The project was too risky and she could not afford any doubts. She had to ask the question. She had to be certain that Noah was not lying to her. "Did you really have a vision, Noah? Did God tell you what to do?"

Her heart ached when she saw the pain in Noah's eyes, when she saw him lower his head. "I am not sure if it was God, Sarah," his voice was barely audible now, "but I know that my vision is true." There was a silence, but it was short, just long enough for Sarah to lay her hands on Noah's. "Then, we'll build the boat," she said.

It is really possible that you can start from humble beginnings and become wealthy almost overnight. In fact scores of people are included in the millionaires club, while a few dozens move up to the big boys billionaires club every year. You can build a wealthy home business if you have the qualities that are essential for success. So whether you wish to earn six figure incomes, have multiple streams of income or residual income then the list of required attributes in building a wealthy home business can be group into five broad areas namely: desire, choosing the right business for you, attitude, marketing and leadership.

Leadership

The quality of leadership is not dependent on a genetic trait or some special rights bestowed on the privileged few, or the six figure incomes you earn, but is solely dependent on your commitment to diligently pursue those qualities that will strengthen and develop you as a leader. Therefore the magnitude of your commitment to becoming a leader will determine the quality of your leadership. Remember leaders are not born they are made and whether you have these naturally organic leadership qualities or not is not a hindrance to you becoming a leader. Leadership is an essential characteristic in any business model of your choice and also very important in building a wealthy home business and residual incomes to enjoy the lifestyle you wanted for you and your family.

As a leader in a home business you must be enthusiastic about your work and have a passion for excellence. Good leadership means being a source of inspiration for your team and motivator to taken action. Good leaders developed the ability to always focused on the main goals, analyzing the task at hand as a whole as well as breaking it up into sub-parts that are more manageable and progress towards achieving the desired outcome. Therefore passion, inspiration, motivation and the ability to remain focused on your goals are key elements of leadership in building a wealthy business from home and creating multiple income streams.

REMEMBER:

“Leaders are not born, they are developed”

Desire

Desire by itself will not ensure that we life a life by our design, to win the money game or become wealthy but it is an important ingredient and an essential step for moving in that direction. If you want something badly enough you will get it because desire can be an unstoppable force. If you want to earn six figure incomes, residual incomes or have multiple streams of income, then an unstoppable desire to succeed is essential. A strong desire to succeed in building a wealthy home business dispels any thought of ever quitting as an option. If you want anything badly enough you will find a way or make one, in order to be successful, no matter what the price or sacrifice required. Once you have the desire to become successful you must persevere and remain steadfast on your task. This is keen to note because some people seem to “born tired” and are naturally lazy possessing no self-reliance or perseverance. Your desire is the fire that heats you up to perform, to excel. P.T. Barnum, in the book The Art of Money Getting, stated that “If you hesitate, some bolder hand will stretch out before you and get the prize”. The proverb of Solomon succinctly puts it like this: "He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand; but the hand of the diligent maketh rich." One simple exercise that I’ve found useful in fuelling my desires constantly to be successful in building a wealthy home business which I’ll share with you now is:

1) On a piece if paper or word pad write down all the reasons why do you want to achieve your goal.

2) List all the benefits you can gain if your goal were achieved, starting with the word “I”. For example; “I am a successful business man”. “I am building strong family ties at home”. “I am a successful internet marketer”. “I provide for all my families need”. The more clearly stated reasons you have, the stronger will be your desire to be successful.

3) Practice to reading your list of benefits every morning.This affirmative action triggers your sub-conscious to act as though you have already achieved your goals, since your sub-conscious mind doesn’t distinguish between realities. It places your goals or wish list into the present and not something to be achieved at some later time. This daily affirmation keep you connected with your goal during the day, making you more motivated and inspired.

REMEMBER:

"Desire overcomes obstacles to success.

Desire makes molehills out of mountains.

No matter what stands in the way, it is moveable.”

Attitude

Maintaining a positive mental attitude is very important in the pursuance of achieving your objective to build a business from home and gain the wealth you need to live the life that you always wanted. After all the old adage is true, “so a man thinketh so is he”. In other words, we perform the way we think. Positive attitude and optimism work like a magnet for success. If you maintain positive attitude no matter what the situation is success will come to you automatically.

REMEMBER:

“We may not be able to control the obstacles of life,

But we can control our attitude.”

Every goal will require some kind of sacrifice. There is always something to give up in order to achieved a certain desired outcome, and if you wish to build a successful business from home so you can have the wealth to enjoy the lifestyle you want, then don’t forget this fact. In business this sacrifice is called the opportunity cost. The right attitude for success means having the right priorities. It is only the right attitude toward success can allow an aspiring entrepreneur to live the kind of lifestyle that you for yourself and your family, having a steady stream of residual income to do so.

So what kind of sacrifices have you had to make for your goals in the past? What kind of sacrifices have you been making (or struggling to make) with your current goals?

When it comes to sacrifices, only two things matter:

Is it worth it?

With every goal, you need to know that what you stand to gain is worth the cost of what you’ll have to give up.

Are you willing to do it?

If you find that you are willing, all you need to do is simply keep reinforcing that decision mentally every time you feel tempted to act in ways that are counterproductive to your goals

Choosing The Right Business

So you have decided that you wanted to start your own business, be your own boss so you can be become financial independent, maybe you want to become a multi-millionaire earning six figure incomes and retire at 35 years old but do you know what business to get into and do you have the requisite Business Management Skill Sets to be successful and build a business from home?

Starting a business may involve many steps and some critical decision making, namely: 1) should you or not go into business and take the plunge so to speak. 2) What business structure or model should I adopt- sole proprietorship, partnership, limited liability Company etc., 3) what kind of business, or what kind of company should I start. I am of the view that the most critical decision is the kind of business to start- Brick and Mortar, Home-based, E-commerce, Multi-Level Marketing (mlm), Niche market websites or Franchising and Licensing. What makes it so critical is that there are so many businesses available. Aspiring entrepreneurs, without proper research and guidance, fall victims in making the mistake of investing in the wrong type of business. It is therefore critical to choose a business model that’s appropriate to your interests and even your personality.

REMEMBER:

“Unless a man enters upon the vocation intended for him by nature,

And best suited to his peculiar genius,

He cannot succeed.”

Thousands of business opportunities out there vying for your attention; a Google search will find over 4 million business opportunities advertised. So, how do you know which one is right for you? Although each business model has its own distinct structure and way of being conducted, some of the most commonly chosen models are:

1) Brick and Mortar:

This is your traditional type business where your business activities are conducted in a separate space like say, a shop, boutique or a plant depending on the nature of your business.

2) Home-based:

These are the preferred choice of businesses of most entrepreneurs who are seeking residual incomes and multiple stream incomes because it gives them the flexibility they need to shuttle back and forth between business and personal life. It is usually run from a small office space in your own home.

3) E-commerce:

The internet is by far the most dynamic vehicle for growth for those entrepreneurs who wish to become successful by building a wealthy home business earning six figure incomes or may be it’s just to diversify your earning potential with residual incomes and multiple income streams. Some online business opportunities such as Carbon Copy Pro or Wealthyhomebusinessccpro.com provide home based entrepreneurs, who are willing to put in the work, with the income streams to winning the money game and live the life of their dreams.

4) Multi-Level Marketing (mlm):

MLM is a good residual income earner for those entrepreneurs involves selling and building up a network. The earning potential is good, if you are high up in the network triangle. The more people you have under your own network, the more money you earn and the larger is your stream of residual income over time.

5) Franchising and Licensing:

Franchising and licensing is yet another home-based model to consider if you are seeking to create multiple income streams for you and your family. Franchising involves acquiring a license from a large and well-known business and selling their products on their behalf. Some characteristic of a good franchise are:

How long has the company been around? Are they local or global? Is the Company financially stable AND well capitalized? What experience does the leadership team you will be working with have? Do you believe these products or services provide a value to the buying public today? Will you enjoy what you will be doing and will you feel comfortable sharing it with your loved ones?

Marketing

A guerilla marketing strategy for all aspiring entrepreneurs who wish to successfully build a wealthy home business, earning six figure income or a constant flow of residual income, is called attraction marketing. Attraction Marketing is a very powerful way to optimize the leverage of your home based business. It can be used to build any kind of home based or small business by leveraging social media, internet marketing and direct response marketing principles.

Attraction marketing primarily involves the branding and promoting of you the entrepreneur, not your business opportunity or network marketing company or program. You can personally brand and promote yourself to your potential clients using any of the social media available to you. These include web sites, blogs, videos and social networking such as Facebook, Twitter and email marketing. By doing so a home based entrepreneur can attract like minded people who resonate or relate with their story, their background, their hometown, their college or high school and this helps to build a list of contacts, which is the lifeblood of any online business.

The essential tools of attraction marketing are simple and consist of:

You sharing value with others.

Constantly learning and sharing valuable skill sets or powerful information in the area of personal growth, business, internet marketing that your potential clients can use.

Lead Capture page.

This could include a simple one page web site that offers a compelling offer such as free information, video, training, or eBook in exchange for the prospect's contact information that is, name, email, phone number, so you can build your list.

Auto responder

This is an Email service that allows you to deliver a designed and targeted follow up campaign to your prospects to further build your relationship, deliver valuable that educates, invites and sells your product, service or system on autopilot for you.

Bio Page

A meeting place on the internet where a prospect can get to know more about you. This is essential because people join people; they do not join products, services or programs.

Affiliate Marketing

This a way of increasing your income stream and earn six figure income providing your clients with additional offers of valuable products and services in your target niche which you can offer by simple email reviews and recommendations to your list for long term sales. This could include low priced informational products or high priced seminars, courses or coaching programs.

REMEMBER:

“Attraction Marketing is a simple philosophy that is very effective for home based entrepreneurs”

Many dream of starting their own businesses, but remain frozen in status quo mainly because they do not know what business to engage in. While starting a business with your individual interests and expertise in mind is crucial, so is the necessity of making sure that this enterprise represents a concrete entrepreneurial opportunity.
