Are you afraid of failing in your home based business?
Let me ask you something even more disturbing.. Are you afraid to SUCCEED in your home based business?
Whatever your fears are they could seriously be holding you back from greatness. Whether we want to admit it or not fear is a huge motivator. If you’re being motivated by fear of any kind you can never truly be successful in your business.
Here are the two major forms of fear and how to stop them!
Fear Of Failure
Fear of failure is a very common thing. Almost all people are afraid of failing on some level. However, the people I am talking about are the people who let their fear cripple them to the point where they don’t do anything at all. They are afraid to take a risk in any capacity because they are afraid if they do they will fail. This type of fear will never allow you to accomplish anything wonderful in your life. It will stop you every chance it gets. That’s why you have to stop IT first.
How To Overcome It!
Unfortunately there really is no easy way to face this type of fear. The only think you can really do is stare fear in the eyes and do whatever it is your afraid to do anyway. You also have to give yourself permission to mess up from time to time. Just because you don’t sign up the first few people you talk to doesn’t mean you’re a failure. In fact the only way you can really fail is if you give up and quit. If you refuse to do that failing is just not an option at all!
Fear Of Success
Nobody in their right mind would really honestly believe that they are afraid of success however many people truly are. People place all kinds of limitations on themselves. Many people believe that they will only ever be able to make $40,000 or $50,000 a year and so the idea of exceeding that scares them a bit. I know it sounds crazy but it’s really much more common than we’d like to believe.
How To Overcome It!
Realize that you have no limitations except the ones you put on yourself. If you put your ceiling at $75,000 how do you ever expect to make it to $100,000? You can’t… it’s impossible. But, as soon as you raise that ceiling and give yourself permission to be excellent you will be!
Don’t let fear control your life and your business anymore. Gain control from fear and doubt and your business will be much more likely to succeed!

How to Talk to Coworkers About Your Business
Of everyone that you know co-workers might be the hardest to talk to about your home based business. It can be frustrating to work along side people who would be great in your business but you aren’t sure how to approach them about it because you don’t want to get in trouble at work. So how exactly do you go about talking to the people you work with about your home based business without becoming a laughing stock or worse getting in trouble with your boss? Here are a few tips that should help you out when talking to co-workers.
1. Keep It Casual
Don’t come storming into your workplace talking about how your going to be out of there in a few months and go into a huge sales pitch. Try to keep everything as casual as possible. It’s totally fine to mention that you’re doing something part time from home and talk about it with your co-workers just as long as the boss doesn’t think you’re trying to take their entire office away. Keep any talk of your business light, fun and casual at work and most people won’t mind.
2. Don’t Pass Anything Out
It’s usually a good idea not to bring any flyers or brochures to work with you. Anything that could get passed around is generally not a good idea.
3. Make It Clear That You’re Not Leaving
Whenever you’re talking about your home based business try to make it clear that you’re doing it part time to make more money for yourself and your family. You don’t have to tell anyone that you’re thinking about leaving once you become more successful. You don’t want to get passed over for a promotion or a raise because your boss thinks your leaving the company in a month or two. It takes a while to build a business so don’t let everyone at work know you’re halfway out the door until you’re really ready to leave.
4. Do It Outside Of The Office
If you want to talk to someone in greater detail or you want to single someone out who you feel would be a really great fit for your business. Try doing it somewhere out of the office. For instance on a lunch break or after work over a few drinks. When you’re out of the four walls of your actual office building you’ll be able to speak much more freely and without the fear of consequences.
If you follow these four tips you should be able to speak to your co-workers in a way that is appropriate for the workplace.

Message Board and Forum Marketing Tips
If you are involved in a home based business and you want an endless supply of people to market to you may not find a better source than an online message board for forum. There are so many forums online and when you find the right ones you can generate an endless stream of prospects easily and for free.
Here are a few tips that will help you when marketing your home based business on an online forum or community.
1. Contribute before you ad a signature. If you make it clear that the only reason you’re on the forum is to get your website noticed people will get annoyed by you. You need to start out by posting answers to other peoples questions as well as starting your own threads BEFORE you ad a link to your website in your signature. This will show people that you want to be a legitimate part of the community and you’re not just looking for sign ups.
2. Use your picture as your avatar. This is a small thing that I have found to make a big difference. Internet marketing can be so impersonal. Let them see the real you. It will help them trust you more and give you instant credibility.
3. Don’t spam. There really isn’t very much that needs to be said about this. Spam is annoying and it won’t get you any sign ups. Just don’t do it. It’s not worth your time and it will ruin your reputation on the forum.
4. Try to be as friendly and helpful as possible. If you know the answer to a question answer it. Even if it doesn’t have anything to do with your business it doesn’t matter contribute as much as possible and make sure people know that you care about them.
5. Make sure you follow the forum rules. If it says right in the rules that you’re not allowed to promote your business don’t do it… end of story. Some forums are good places to get information about online marketing but they’re ad free for a reason. Don’t go against the rules or you’ll get banned. It’s just not worth it.
