The Legalities of Running a Business in Your Home

There is much enjoyment to be had in running a home business, but did you know that there are also quite a few legalities you will need to keep in mind? It is true, you will not be able to simply open up your doors and hang out a sign. As a matter of fact, depending on the business you are running in your home, there are probably a number of rules and regulations you will need to follow.

For example, if you are planning on opening a home day care business, you will need to have a license to operate. This will mean that a city inspector will come in and take a look at your residence to make sure it meets the safety codes and rules that your city and state has set forth for such home daycare centers. Additionally, you will need to permit occasional visits from the overseeing government agency to ensure you are still up to code.

If you are living in a covenant controlled community, you will need to dig up the bylaws of your homeowners’ association and take a look about what it says with respect to home based businesses. Some associations do not permit businesses to be run out of homes within their vicinity, while others only limit the kinds of business you may engage in or the hours of operation.

If you are not under the auspices of a homeowners’ association, you will still want to check in with the zoning commission to make sure that your proposed home business will not violate any zoning laws in your area. The same is true for signage. While you will need some signs that advertise the location of your business, you need to find out what the neighborhood and city limitations are. This may pertain to size, color, and also placement of any sign.

Other legalities to observe include insurance issues. For example, if a customer were to enter your home business location and fell in the course of doing business with you, your homeowners’ insurance will probably not cover any of the injuries she or he sustains. You will need to contact your insurance company to find out if you need a special waiver, rider, or a different policy altogether.

While these legalities may appear to be a wrench in your home business, do keep in mind that they are designed to protect you, your customers, and everyone else doing a similar kind of business. Adhering to certain standards and obtaining licenses and permits will actually give you a leg up with the competition, since you can show how your business is superior to anyone else’s – simply by displaying your licenses and permits. As a matter of fact, you could say that the legalities of running a business in your home make for great marketing tools!

Constructing the Perfect Work at Home Business


Constructing the Perfect Work at Home Business Idea

Working at home is a dream for many individuals who intend to make it a reality. Tired of long commutes, disgruntled employers and taking the children to daycare each and every day, individuals think long and hard about the perfect work at home business idea. In order to successfully construct a possible work at home business idea, the prospective business owner should consider a few different factors.

Part Time or Full Time

First and foremost, one should determine whether they wish to construct a work at home business idea for full time work or part time work. This will help the individual to better determine what line of work would be best. The hours that one is able to devote to their new business is an important concept to consider as certain jobs are more suited to part time work as opposed to full time work and vice versa.

One Individual or Multiple Employees Needed

It is also important to consider whether the business owner will be working alone or with others. Certain businesses need extra manpower whereas others are best carried out by one individual alone. In order to construct the best work at home business idea possible, the prospective business owner should determine whether they will be hiring any help to aid in the successful running of the business.

Space Available

One who is looking to start a business and run it out of their home should consider how much space is available to devote to the business and how much space a particular type of business will need. An individual will most likely already know how much room they have in which to operate their new business and this will help them to decide which type of business can be operated out of the home and which type cannot.

Overhead Costs

Although overhead costs of home-run businesses may not be as high as one who works out of their home, there still may be some types of business overhead involved. Prior to choosing a particular business, one should determine how much overhead they can afford and then narrow down their business choices with overhead costs in mind.

Desires of the Consumer Market

One who is developing the perfect type of work at home business idea must keep in mind the needs of the consumers. There are certain products and services which simply are not needed these days and one should try to avoid those types of goods and services. An individual who is trying to develop the perfect at home business idea will need to choose a business that will create a buzz amongst consumers and the business must be one that is needed by the general public. This will help to ensure the overall success of the work at home business idea.

Sponsor, help me! I can’t keep up with all my affiliate programs!

So you’re a “newbie” to the wonderful world of internet marketing. You want the freedom that comes with owning a home business; you want to set your own hours; you want to “make money while you sleep.”

You have a terrific sponsor in your program, one who sends you tons of helpful hints on how to advertise your affiliate gateway website without spending a bunch of money. You’re on a very limited budget, so you join multiple traffic exchanges and manually send links to tons of link directories and maybe you even set up a free blog that has a link back to your affiliate page.

You are on the right track! And low and behold, you start to see traffic trickling in. Now you have a couple of affiliates under you, and you keep in touch to encourage them to do exactly what you’ve done: start slow, build strong, get your feet wet in internet marketing.

A couple of months down the road you haven’t made more than a couple of dollars because your affiliates also joined for free, so you ask your sponsor how to step up your business, because at this rate you will be 120 by the time you are able to retire from your 9 to 5. “Multiple streams of income” is his response, and he sends you a link to yet another affiliate program. Why didn’t I think of this myself? Twice as many prospects, twice as much income, and my road to retirement just got cut in half.

You join, you gather banners, and you head back out to where you started – back to the traffic exchanges, where you surf until you pass out to build up enough credits for 30 lucky people to see your banner; and then it’s back to the link directories where you cannot find your first link to save your life, but it’s out there somewhere and now every single person who surfs the net will be exposed to not one, but TWO of your links. And you mentally start spending the profits. Maybe I will be able to take my family to Hawaii next year….

Two more months go by. Now you have 16 affiliates in the first program and 3 in the second. But this time you don’t need your sponsor, you know what to do – you go out and find yourself a third affiliate program! First you encourage your existing affiliates to join under you (f you still have any), then its back to your old routine for traffic generation. Problem is, a whole year goes by…and you still haven’t managed to bring in an affiliate check for more than $6, and your boss wants you off the net and focusing on your day job. So those otherwise wasted hours between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m. are spent surfing and submitting links. After a couple more weeks, you’ve quit your dream of becoming a wealthy internet entrepreneur and started snatching up every hour of overtime that your boss offers you. Your spouse is so happy to get back to the EBay auctions they used to visit before you took over the home computer, and your kids can do online research again without having to go to the library.

So this is to the affiliate program sponsors out there: shame on you! You deserve to lose your affiliates if you’re just collecting downline using them. They are people, not stats! They have families, dreams and budgets; they trust you to care about all these things. You have a RESPONSIBILITY to tell them the only way to succeed is to focus on ONE site, chock full of affiliate offers that you have taken the time to investigate with your own memberships so you know they pay out. Your affiliates are slaving away at their computers, putting in 20 hour days wasting time submitting affiliate links that either end up obliterated by the tens of thousands of other affiliate links or their affiliate number is being chopped off so the potential affiliate can jump above them in line. Affiliate marketing is not just a numbers game, folks, it’s about nurturing that affiliate that answers you each and every time you send out a team broadcast email to tell you how excited he is about working with you.

EDUCATE your affiliates: they are not your competition, they are your future! Autoresponders are a wonderful thing until they are the only communication a floundering affiliate has with you. If you take the extra time, they will too, and their affiliates will succeed because they will follow your example. And who knows? You may next be answering your affiliates’ emails from a laptop on the beach in Maui while your kids are splashing around in the surf…..

Is It Time For A New Home Based Business Opportunity?

Copyright © Melissa Burton
6 Automated Streams of Income in 24 Hours!

There will be times when you jump feet first into a home business only to find out later on that either it is not all that you had expected or perhaps you simply lose interest in it. As a matter of fact, in the business world, this is usually the reason why people change jobs and careers; perhaps the job they originally had started out as being fun and exciting, but along the lines something changed and it is now simple drudgery. Conversely, maybe you find out something about the product that you are marketing that makes you question your ability to continue selling it. Whatever the case may be, there are some sure-fire signs that it is time for a new home based business opportunity.

If you suddenly find that you simply do not want to make the time for the business anymore. Perhaps your life has gotten busier, or perhaps you simply have gotten bored with your business. If you can honestly say that if you had to, you could still make the time, then the odds are pretty good that you have gotten bored or burned out on your business.

If in spite of your best efforts the sales figures are in a slump and there does not appear to be any way out of the red, then it might be time to ask a friend to take a look at your business. If she or he cannot find fault, then perhaps it is the business you have chosen and you may need to consider finding a new home based business opportunity.

If you find out something about the product you are selling or that makes you question its usefulness, value, or any aspect of marketing it to others, you will probably need to look for something else to do. Compromising your ethics will negate whatever satisfaction you are deriving from successfully running the business.
Should you find another business opportunity that simply appeals more to you - or that you have always wanted to try out - might make a good sideline business, but in and of itself it should not cause you to close the doors to a perfectly good home business you are already running.

Changing to a new home based business opportunity is always a difficult step, and some proprietors will hold on to a failing business simply for the sake of the initial investment they had already made. Do not make the same mistake! Instead be proactive and cut your losses early on. Additionally, do not put your satisfaction on hold when the right opportunity finally comes along! After all, a new home based business opportunity could mean the difference between striking it rich and continuing on the way you have been.

so I promise this is the only one you'll ever get from me. Rarely, very rarely, I actually come across a program with credit cards that delivers everything they promise. I don't even know what made me take a look at the cards currently in my wallet to make sure I was getting the best deals, but I did. And I'm glad --

So glad that I pursued an affiliate program with the company, even given the incredibly busy schedule I already have with my "bread and butter" affiliations -- you know, the ones that pay the bills?!

These days, having a credit card is so important, not just for shopping but for memberships, reservations, or just getting yourself established with a credit rating. Don't be discouraged if you've been turned down before...apply now, here!!

If you've been blessed with A+ credit, you deserve the very best programs available with preferred status cards.

We have them all!

11 Steps to Achieving Your Dreams and/or Desired Lifestyle

Courtesy of Mike Ward, Success University
Get more info here!


Success University teaches Success Principles that have been proven to work over
thousands of years!

Now the key is to learn from them and then take action. I can tell you that all
the leaders in Success University have followed these principles and without a
doubt is the reason they are successful!

I'm going to share with you my 11 Steps to Achieving your Dreams and/or desired
Lifestyle that I have pulled from all the Success Principles I have learned over
my 9 years of doing Network Marketing and Home based Business.

Step-1
Find an Accountability Partner or Mentor to help you through the obstacles and
challenges that will block you on your Path to Success. Make a commitment to
help each other and communicate openly throughout the entire process.

Step-2
This is the part where you have to be coachable and trainable.
I'm going to ask you to do a 2 minute exercise. After you read this paragraph
close your eyes for 2 minutes (set an alarm if needed) and practice what I have
written below:
You must block your negative thoughts and remove the negative people around you.
Now Center yourself, and think of only positive things in your life. Surround
yourself around all these good thoughts and all that you want to give to the
World. Speak out loud your dreams- What do you want your life to transform to?
What type of life style do you want? Ok, now close your eyes!

Ok now that you have visualized your dreams and spoke into existence your new
lifestyle you are ready to create a dream board. Now remember you need to
remain coachable. I have had reps tell me, "I don't want to do this! I just
want to know how to market over the internet" However, I can tell you that you
don't become a great internet marketer with out first going through this
process. You must create a solid foundation first!

Step-3
Take out a piece of poster board and/or get a notebook with a cover that you can
slide pictures into the front and back of it. Now get out some magazines or go
on the internet and print out the dreams and the lifestyle you had imagined when
you had your eyes closed. This dream board will constantly remind you of why your are working hard and making sacrifice to
reach your dreams. It is intended to help you remain positive and stay focused.

Clue: Matt Morris, President of Success University practiced this technique
when he owned no company, was heavily in debt, lived in a 1 bed room apartment
and Success University was only a brief thought he had written in a day planner.
Now look at Matt! Brand new dream house, just recently married, millionaire,
living his dream lifestyle, owner of a multi-million dollar company. Now if
that isn't a clue I don't know what is!!

Step-4
Create small attainable goals toward these dreams and lifestyle.

Take out a piece of paper and create the following sections:

Spiritual
Family
Physical
Financial
Social
Educational

Now begin to create your initial goals that you want to achieve. Below each
goals write specifically why you want to achieve this goal.

Now again, I want you to close your eyes and imagine how you feel as if you have
just hit that goal. Once you have felt this feeling. Then write it down as well.

This will allow you to really internalize the goal and you may find that it
didn't make you feel that much different and that maybe you really don't want
that Goal. If this is the case, then create a new goal or even a whole new
Dream that fits what will truly make you happy and be in line with your true
purpose.

Step-5
Make a weekly schedule and map out all of your present commitments and
obligations. Then with the remaining blocks of time write in that you will be
working on one of your goals. After all blocks of time are filled, then go back
to the categories in step 4 and write down the total amount of time you will be
spending towards each area of your life. This will allow you to see if you are
in the proper life balance you want to be.

Step-6
Create Action Plans to achieve each goal. What exactly will you be doing during
that time you blocked off? For example- If you blocked 2 hours for working SU.
Then what will you be doing?
You could be making a list of people to invite for 45mins then take a 10 min
break then you could be e-mailing and/or calling for another 45-60 mins. and
then taking another 10 minute break
before your next block of time.

Step-7
Measure your efficiency and hold yourself accountable. Did you follow your
plan? Or did you procrastinate? Did some fears arise? If you followed your
plan, great. If not, then work to figure out why not. If you need to talk with
your accountability partner or mentor about why you didn't follow the plan or if
you encountered fears, then do so ASAP! You must breakthrough the fears and
other obstacles holding you back from completing the tasks within your action
plan. If you don't you risk the chance of becoming stagnant. Then record your
daily events and feelings in your Personal Success Journal

Step-8
Plan to Celebrate your Success!! Plan a way to celebrate after you completed a
full action plan. And also create a reward that you will give yourself once you achieve each of your GOALS. Place pictures of these rewards on your
dream board as well. It will further motivate you.

Step-9

Celebrate your Success of achieving each accomplished Goal with your
accountability partner/mentor.

Step-10

Create the next Goal and repeat Steps 3-8 until you have reach your Dream and/or
Lifestyle.

Step- 11
Celebrate for reaching your Dream and/or Lifestyle. Then Repeat Steps 1-10.
Reflect and review the journey you just undertook and pull out the lessons you
learned, the challenges you overcame, and the feelings that were felt. Then
write these down in your journal.
