Mutliple Streams of Income

For the nth time, I recently finished the popular book Multiple Streams of Income by Robert G. Allen.

This inspiring book will help you think about your life and how you bring in income to your household.

Do you work a 9-5 job?

Do you own your own business?

Do you invest?

In short, you should be using "all" of these techniques because you can never tell when one of these may fall through. By utilizing these different techniques you also increase your chances of success and obtaining wealth.

Referring back to the choices listed above, let's analyze how you can bring in additional income.

"Do you work a 9-5 job?" - Focus on your job responsibilities, improve your techniques, prove you add value, and become a leader. Shortly after, request a pay increase and make sure to have your supporting documentation available.

"Do you own your own business?" - Focus on something you enjoy with low start-up costs like a Network Marketing business. Learn the ins and outs as a Network Marketer and share your business with all. By starting your own business, you essentially are creating an additional income source.

"Do you invest?" - Invest a portion of your money, usually 10%-15% of income. Invest in your company's sponsored 401k plan. Invest in real estate. Invest in business partnerships. By investing, you don't have the same hassles as you would if you were running your own business. But you should be aware of who you choose to invest your money with. Use common sense and what feels right.

The bottom line is creating multiple streams of income is important and everyone should practice it. This is the same strategy that the rich use and is the #1 reason why they are so successful. Rather than spending all of their money, they first determine how they can make more, then they spend their left-over money on necessary items.

Put one of these strategies to use, then track the results. After doing one for sometime, try another, then another, and then another.

Learn How To Talk To Anyone

How good is your communication skills?

As a business owner or professional, it's essential to have good communication skills. But, isn't every situation different. What may work for one person may not for another.

The answer is Learn How To Talk To Anyone

I recently read a book "How to talk to anyone..." by Leil Lowndes. It teaches you 92 tricks for big success in relationships. One example really stood out for me... How to Look Like a Big Winner Wherever You Go.

As a business owner, this was soooo important to me. Your image is everything. It portrays who you are, it says I'm confident and a professional. We must all act like this if we plan on being a leader.

Have you ever heard of the phrase, "Fake it until you make it." If feel you're not a leader or a winner then you better start acting like one. Fake it until you make it means, act like a leader then you will become a leader. Try it out and see if it works for you. It has for me.

The traditional way of communicating still works, but if you haven't read or taken any classes about effective communication, your chances are you aren't effectively communicating. Besides, how do we really know unless someone tells us. So why not learn how to be effective and confident. Be portrayed as a leader.

Learn how to talk to anyone and see your confidence and business slowly build. The next time you're in the library or bookstore check out Leil Lowndes' book in the self-help section. I hope it helps you like it has helped me.

Marketing Your Business

Have you ever thought how you plan on marketing your business?

Marketing your business can be one of the most difficult tasks for keeping your business alive. But, with the proper education and testing, you can begin to see your business flourish.

Read anything and everything about marketing. By educating yourself in the subject of marketing, you increase your knowledge and your awareness of your customers. Each of your customers will be different, but learning about your customer's likes and dislikes will greatly impact your marketing efforts. Cater your marketing efforts around your customer's likes. This way you will attract customers to you.

For example, you are in the health and wellness industry and determine that you are not gaining new customers. So, you perform some analysis to determine who buys health related products, how much they spend, what do they buy, and how often. From your analysis you determine the age group buying the products are between 35-55 yrs old. You also determine that vitamin c is the most common purchased supplement at an average cost of $15/bottle for one months supply and bought every month. With this information you can begin to develop your marketing plan. Your marketing plan may consist of something like this:

1. Place online or in print classified ads in the health or fitness section. (These two sections will accommodate the age group determined in your analysis.)
   
2. Your ad should read "Benefits of Taking Vitamin C Supplements - Request your Free copy".
   
3. Provide your URL to your website and have them complete an opt-in form to receive their Free copy.
   
4. Once they logged into your website, they will be directed to the report "Benefits of Taking Vitamin C Supplements".
   
5. Provide them with all of the benefits of vitamin c. Use your company's literature to educate them on this subject.
6. Within your website, create links to purchase the product and offer special one-time discount for becoming a retail customer.
   
7. Include links to other free reports like, "Benefits of Taking Calcium" or "Why You Should be Taking a Multi-Vitamin".

After you've developed your marketing plan and put it into action, you will need to track the results. If it is not performing as you thought it should have, then you will need to modify your plan and try again. You might have to do this a few times, but don't give up. You're just finding out what works best and of course, what attracts customers to you.

So the next time you're thinking of developing a marketing plan, do your homework, test and track. This way everyone will benefit.
