These days everyone is talking about the recession. I see it all the time on the internet and on t.v. people are constantly trying to find a way to stay afloat and pay all of their bills and many of them are turning to a home based business or internet marketing. So is this a good idea or something they’ll end up regretting down the line?
I whole heartedly believe that a home based business is the best way to work from home, spend more time with your family and recession proof your life. Here are a few reasons why.
The first reason is simple and basic. It is secondary income. Even if we weren’t in the middle of a huge recession how couldn’t use a little secondary income?
When you have a second income you can not only pay all of your bills but you can also do some of the fun things that many people are missing out of because of these hard economic times.
Another reason a home based business will recession proof your life is that you can never get fired when you work for yourself. Even if you have a great job that pays you a lot of money you still should think about what would happen if that income was gone tomorrow.
Many people who believed their jobs would always be secure are now finding themselves in the un-employment line. Really no ones job is safe. The only way you are promised any kind of income is through a home based business. That’s not doom and gloom that’s just a fact.
Besides having a secondary income and a job you can’t get fired from here are a few more good solid reasons why you should seriously think about working from home: spend less money on gas, take your children out of daycare, don’t spend money going out to lunch, start part time and build your income up before you leave your job!
The list goes on and on. In this economic climate working from home just makes good sense! Don’t wait until it’s too late to start making money from home and recession proofing your families lifestyle.
Find a home based business that’s right for you and start working from home today!

More confidence in your phone voice
When you’re talking to a prospect over the phone it’s extremely important that you speak to them with confidence. Just because you’re on the phone and not in person doesn’t mean people can’t tell when you’re unsure of yourself.
Here are 5 ways to convey more confidence over the phone.
#1 Sit up straight
Believe it or not how you sit can effect how you sound on the phone. When you sit up straight in your chair just as you would if you were speaking to someone in person you will sound more confident and sure of yourself.
#2 Smile
This is a big one! If you don’t believe me try talking to a friend in another room. Once while smiling and once without. I guarantee you your friend will be able to tell you which is which. You might feel just a little silly but believe me it works!
#3 Avoid nervous laughter
This was a big one for me. Everyone can tell the difference between genuine laughter and nervous laughter… everyone. When you don’t avoid nervous laughter you won’t emit any kind of confidence and the person on the other end of the line will get the idea that you don’t know what your talking about or you’re not really sure about your business.
Do not ruin a perfectly good business call by laughing out of nerves. You might think it’s nothing but it really can ruin your credibility over the phone.
#4 Keep eye contact with something
I know, I know it sounds really silly and pointless. I guess you’ll just have to take my word for it. But keeping eye contact on a specific spot. Just like you would look someone in the eye in person can really help how you come off over the phone.
Find a spot on the wall or put up a poster if you need to, just maintain “eye” contact and you will sound much more professional and confident.
#5 Talk slowly and with a purpose
Talking quickly is one of the first signs someone is nervous. No I’m not saying you should… slow…. down… until… it… gets… annoying. Just don’t start speaking faster than you normally would.
Choose your words carefully and speak with authority. Don’t use words like “um” and “uh” if you don’t know what to say take a beat and start when you’re ready..
By following these simple tips you will convey a comfortable and confident business man or woman and you’ll start to sound more like the type of person that everyone would want to be in business with.
