Tips, Tidbits and Inspiration

Note from Leslie: Great success never happens without first overcoming failure, disappointment, and other obstacles. Here is a good article on failure and how to keep it from getting in the way of your goals and dreams.

Work At Home Opportunities - Ignore Failure

By Ken Shorey

Because failing at a task makes us sad with feelings of unworthiness, many people choose not to take any risk. These individuals live their lives in quiet desperation because they have such high aspirations for their lives. The problem is these individuals are paralyzed by fear, they can't live or do what they really want because they are afraid to fail.

But if we don't dare to dream and achieve, then nothing can be gained. Nothing happens. In spite of all the pep talks and the seminars, the fear of failure can be so strong and overwhelming that people become stagnant in a life that they do not want.

Starting a home-based business might seem easy to most people. But, for those who fear ridicule from family and friends, trying to start a home-based business is not an option. Some moments of failure follow us from the early years of our lives to adulthood.






Failures come in many colors and levels of intensity. There are some failures that are easy to get over. We can make a brilliant argument for the reason we did not jump in the lake with the other teenagers. We were the only that had common sense at 8 years of age.

We take pride in ourselves and our good sense. This type of failure allows us to explain our fear away while feeling good about the tasks that we did not accomplish.

But as we grow older, we must approach the working world from a different angle. Making excuses becomes our substitute for failure. We didn't apply for that senior management position because "its not our bag”. These excuses are not lost on co-workers. They know you didn't try because you were afraid you would not get the position.

Some failures that are viewed by others make us gag with embarrassment. This kind of failure is persistent and damaging to our self-image. When our co-workers watch us fall on our face during the high level presentation, there is a physical anguish that accompanies this failure.

The worst feeling of failure is when we do our best and still fall short of the goal. This failure is pervasive and sinister. But what the situation should do is make us try harder. We should never give up. Failure is not an option in the life of a home business owner. We might start to feel desperate and start planning how to make our exit from not only the room but this whole "life thing"

In Napoleon Hills famous and renowned work "Think & Grow Rich" there is a list of " 'The 30 Major Causes of Failure'. The only one that applies to the person reading this article is "Lack of ambition to Aim above the Mediocrity - The book states "We offer no hope for the person who is so indifferent as not to want to get ahead in life, and who is NOT willing to pay the price.

The price of success is the courage to ignore family and friend. The price is to try again and go through the intelligent selection process and find a home based business that will work for you. The price may be time. You may need time to get over the most recent failure and time to get back up and try again.

Don’t be tempted to stop your search to find your Shangri-La. Do not leave in the middle of the race for fear of failure. Whenever you feel distressed or overburdened by "fear" just focus on how wonderful success will feel. Close your eyes and envision, the car, the house, the faces of friends and family when you "Make it". Your fear can bring nothing but heartache. Your Success creates more success.

This week instead of review a specific program or resource, I have decided to review an industry... Network Marketing.  

No entrepreneurial concept is more misunderstood or demonized than Network Marketing. It conjures up frightening terms such as “pyramid”, “scam” and even worse, “sales” thereby scaring many people away from a viable home business option.

Over the last few years, network marketing's reputation has improved slightly. Gurus such as David Back (The Finish Rich books), Donald Trump, and many others, have started recommending network marketing or direct sales companies to people who need to make some extra cash. I agree and in fact, I have been saying that network marketing, when done right, is a great way to make money since the launch of Work At Home Success in 1998. Network marketing offers what many other work-at-home options don't:

1) Its affordable. While some programs cost several hundred dollars, many cost less than $100 to get started. Most companies run specials during the holidays and summer that cut that price even further.

2) There's already a product or service. You don't have to invent or create anything.

3) There's a system for building a business. You don't have to figure out how to make money. You simply follow the system.

4) There's residual income. The reason many financial guru's like network marketing, aside from those I've already listed, is that they know they key to financial success is to make your money work for you. But many people can't afford to invest in real estate. They don't have the talent or tenacity to write a best selling book or song.  And they can't buy enough stock to live off the dividends. The only other residual income option is network marketing, which when done right, provides income, month after month, based on work you did last month, last year, or three years ago.

But, network marketing isn't for everyone. Network marketing doesn't work unless people:

1) Choose a reputable company. (To learn how to choose a good company, read Six Criteria to Choosing a Home Business and Avoid Deception in Home Based Business Opportunities).

2) Are willing to do the work that needs to be done to be successful (this is where most people fail).

3) Choose products they can endorse. If you don't love the product or service, its hard to get others to try it. So don't choose a company based on money, choose it because you'd use the product even if there was no money involved.


Of course the biggest hurdles to get over is the multitude of misinformation about network marketing. It is so completely misunderstood that many people make decisions about it based on false information. This is a huge mistake when you are putting your financial future on the line. Myths about saturation, pyramids, and results prevent many people from at least taking a deeper looking into the network marketing industry. (To learn more about the truths and myths of network marketing, check out "The Truth of Network Marketing".)

But I'm a big believer in options and research. There are so many ways to earn an income from home and dismissing one of those options based on false information could be the difference between commuting to work or working at home. So while network marketing may not be for you, be sure you have done your reading and research to make sure you aren't passing by the one thing that could work for you. And if I have peaked your interest, start by reading the articles I have offered in this review to help you learn the basics of what to look for and what to avoid.

I have long been intrigued by network marketing. Although I earn a good income from affiliate programs and my telecommuting work, I don't have a retirement program and my IRA isn't growing fast enough to care for me in my old age. So after 15 years of research and searching, I did finally choose a program that  was 1) reputable, 2) I was willing to do (I didn't want to retail or do home parties), and 3) I liked the products. In some ways it was hard, but in others it has been great. I took December and January off, and I still got paid. That's residual income!
