Small Business Marketing: What Puts You Closest to the Money?

Do you know what most women entrepreneurs bring with them when they start their own business?

The notion that being busy means being productive.

Nothing could be farther from the truth!

As I warn my business coaching clients, this faulty (and even dangerous) notion is a hold-over from the days of working at a j-o-b.

You see, at a job, you're paid to show up and stay busy. What people do at their jobs is rarely connected with actually bringing in new clients or making money.

Why Owners Receive More Rental Inquires

Many of the rental prospects inquire of our agents if they are the owner or the agent. After thinking about this for many months they feel they can negotiate with an owner more successfully than a manager. Perhaps they have something to hide and feel after honing their message they can convince an owner vs. a manager.

Actually they become very good at using emotional appeals and convincing dialog to a venerable owner. What do I mean by a venerable owner? They are emotionally attached to the property and may be hurting financially by supporting a vacant rental. This creates great pressure on the owner wanting to believe whatever the prospect is saying. That is why owners will receive more calls than property managers.

Pain is Inevitable, Suffering Optional

Life is full of ups and downs, no matter how good you get at living the principles of success. You can be assured that everyone, everywhere will have plenty of opportunity throughout their life to experiment with different ways to deal with the inevitable and occasional pain.

Sometimes the pain is occasional, sometimes it seems pretty relentless. Sometimes it's physical pain, sometimes it's emotional pain, or some other kind of pain that gets our attention and causes us to start asking new questions that have never perhaps crossed our minds before.

Real Estate and Tax Lien Investing: Now Is the Time to Act: Part I

Now is a great time to jump on money making opportunities in real estate and tax lien investing. In economic downturns like we're in right now, many investors run out of investment capital. They may have lost money in other investments -- like the stock market or mutual funds, and have to pull back from investing in real estate, just when it's the perfect time to buy. That means less competition and more opportunity for you. I'm seeing some great opportunities right now in tax lien investing and in purchasing real estate at auctions. In Part I of this series I'll discuss why I think this is a perfect time to get started in tax lien investing, and in Part II of this series I'll talk about why real estate auctions are a great opportunity for investors that have more cash available.

Keeping Christ in Christmas

I realize that not everyone reading this is a Christian, but even if you are, you know that it's sometimes difficult to keep the focus on Him even at this Christmas time of year.

There is so much focus on gift giving.  Television and print ads bombard us, and our children, with things to buy.  We think that in order to be good parents, we have to provide everything our children want.  After all, we don't want any disappointed kids on Christmas morning.

This year, while unpacking my decorations, one of the first things to catch my eye was an unfamiliar styrofoam box.  I had no idea what was inside, but as I proceeded to open it, discovered it was a nativity scene.  I remembered, faintly, buying it at Hallmark after Christmas last year.  It had never even been out of the box.   It looked like it was carved out of wood, although it's possible that it's all molded polymer!  I placed it on my bookcase and took a few moments to admire the beauty of it.   Next, I unwrapped a pottery candle holder that has a primitive nativity scene carved out of it.  My daughter bought me that one.

Getting In Sync

Can you feel the power that is brewing? It is the power from within that is waiting to be organized, so that you can manifest all that you truly desire when it is unleashed. Since we know that it is when one's desire, belief, and self-esteem, the core of success, comes into alignment that anything is possible. And I do mean anything.

Are you in alignment? If not don't fret. According to Mark Victor Hansen and Robert G. Allen, the co-authors of The One Minute Millionaire, they state that "this process of alignment doesn't happen all at once. Sometimes it takes years. Other times it takes a near-death experience or some other 'close call' to suddenly force you to wake up and get your act together.

Tips To Transition From 1-on-1 To Membership Income

When I first started my coaching business my goal was to get as many 1-on-1 clients as possible. At first I loved working 1-on-1, but it didn't take long before I found myself feeling drained and dreading my clients' calls.

Which is when I started to experiment with re-designing my business and discovered how to create both "passive" and "leveraged" income streams. Passive income is money that flows in from the sale of products or programs that have already been created. Leveraged income is large amounts of income created from very little time spent, such as with a membership program.

Renters Beware of Bogus Landlords

There are hundreds of vacant homes available due to foreclosures and owners are trying to rent their properties because they are unable to sell them in this current market. This provides an opportunity for crooks. They are breaking into these vacancies, changing the locks, and pretending to be the homeowner, and offering the home as a rental. These scam artists usually advertise on Craigslist because it is free. Unsuspecting renter prospects make an appointment and view the home with these phony landlords. These bogus landlords usually don't ask for credit checks and no application.
