			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have been a successful entrepreneur for only 1 year and half but I have tried working from home businesses since I was 18 years old. I would say that is over 11 years of being an entrepreneur however out of them only being successful at 10% of the time. The last 10% and now of course that number will grow.  Hmmm so that would probably say that I have had plenty of road blocks in the way but I didnt give up.. I knew that eventually my dreams of being a full-time work from home entrepreneur would work.</p>
<p>I always knew that I didnt really want to do a traditional business because I understood that making money from a team was better then making money from just your efforts&#8230; It&#8217;s hard to make a million that way unless your a super genius who designs something like Facebook&#8230; however even facebook was created with a team&#8230;&#8230;<span id="more-244"></span></p>
<p>Anywho why is it that when we start a business and a speed bump like someone telling us it wont work, or someone telling us no Im not interested, or someone telling us we are crazy for getting in a pyramid stops us from pursuing our dreams&#8230; Whats even crazy is more then likely we were excited because we just saw someone else who is making their dreams come true with the business&#8230;. So what makes us different from that person? Nothing more then deciding that you wont any longer let roadblocks get in your way.</p>
<p>You must learn that in life nothing worth having is ever easy to have. You have to go through struggles, road blocks, learning pains, and more. If it were easy to be successful we would all be RICH! So this is what you need to do to get over your road blocks&#8230;</p>
<p>As soon as you hit one, you need to find someone in your industry who has the success you want and let them know what your roadblock is. Dont keep it to yourself because you&#8217;ll never learn how to overcome them. Basically you want to be copying the person who is where you want to be. If you dont know of anyone personally then you need to get on the web and find you someone. Find books to read or even JUST FIND ME <img src='http://www.taureaavant.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_surprised.gif' alt=':o' class='wp-smiley' /> ) LOL just playing.</p>
<p>Anywho really when a roadblock gets in your way, promise yourself you wont let that get to you, consult with someone about it and keep it moving and pushing forward.</p>
<p>The most successful people in the world today are also those with the most failures as well&#8230; You can never succeed with out failing first.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey Internet World! Today is such a wonderful day and I am so glad to be able to bring you some information in which I&#8217;ve found to be very helpful with advertising my business. With so many ways to market your business it can get a little overwhelming however there are still techniques today to market outside the box to get more attention. There are two main ways to market your business Online and Offline</p>
<p>One of my mentors (Cedrick Harris) taught me that in order to succeed in business you must have multiple ways of marketing. Basically if you want to catch more then one fish then you must have more then one hook in the water. This short blog will give you a few ideas of different marketing techniques I use on a daily basis. They are my hooks in marketing.</p>
<p>Hook 1 &#8211; Money Drop Card Marketing. Have you ever seen this fake money around town that when you see it, it looks real but when you pick it up and open it, it&#8217;s actually a flyer of some sort. Well these absolutely work great!</p>
<p>Hook 2 &#8211; Toll booths. The next time you go to a toll booth check out the car behind you and make sure it&#8217;s decent. Then offer the toll attendant enough money to pay for you and the car behind them. Then also give the toll attendant your company cd or a prospecting cd they can pop right into their car to listen to. This is a smooth way to getting prospects left and right.</p>
<p>Hook 3 &#8211; Restaurant Waitress/Waiter. Once you finish eating tell your waiter that they did a great job and you would like to ask them a question. &#8220;Do you keep your options open to making additional money?&#8221; Then provide them your information.</p>
<p>Hook 4 &#8211; Upscale clothing/shoe shopping. Just like with the waitress/waiter example do the same thing here. Choose a store where someone is required to help you. If no one comes up to you then it&#8217;s pointless.</p>
<p>Hook 5 &#8211; Junk Mail. Have you ever noticed that junk mail all has the &#8220;No Postage Necessary&#8221; on the envelope so take that time to send a nice little letter with your contact information. Someone has to open the letter and more then likely they will be open to money making options.</p>
<p>Hook 6 &#8211; Video Marketing. The best way to get people to know more about you is this and while you are doing your videos always include links to your website. Obtain more leads by just being you.</p>
<p>Hook 7 &#8211; Product/Service/Company Reviews. Review products/service/businesses via articles online. Of course you want to review something tailored to the products or services you offer. This way you position yourself as a leader and people will come to you when purchasing.</p>
<p>Hook 8 &#8211; Social Media. Social media has definitely become a popular way of online marketing however you must keep in mind that the idea is not to spam every person that comes your way but to get to know them and then allow them to ask you about your business.</p>
<p>Hook 9 &#8211; Pay Per Click. This is another way of online marketing which allows you to advertise your business with specific keywords. If a person looks up that keyword then you get a better chance of being seen. Then you only pay for the ad if they click on your advertisement.</p>
<p>Hook 10 &#8211; Banner Advertisement. Offer another business to exchange banners on each other&#8217;s website. The type of businesses you want to offer this to are those whose customers or clients would benefit specifically from your product or services. You dont want to advertise your site on another companies site that offers the same exact things you do but something in that field. For example if you have weight loss products see if a personal trainer could advertise your products on their site and you would advertise their services. That way it&#8217;s a win win advertisement offer.</p>
<p>Now you might not be able to start off doing all these hooks but you want to at least pick 2 to 3 of these and start using them today. Remember if your are not marketing your business your are not in business.</p>
<p>For more specifics on how to do some of these marketing techniques be sure to sign up for my newsletter as I have some of them included in the emails. You also will be first to be offered my mentorship program which is a 5 week intensive program to get you set up with a &#8220;Success Funnel&#8221;</p>
<p>SEE YOU ALL OVER THE TOP!!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many times I&#8217;ve been asked to mentor other individuals and it&#8217;s really a humbling experience. However it has gotten me to thinking. Reason being is because there are so many &#8220;leaders&#8221; marketing themselves online that it could be easy to get tied up with the WRONG leader. I would absolutely hate for that to happen&#8230; So for my Internet Family, I&#8217;ve decided to give you a few things things to ask your potential mentor before applying for their services. THAT&#8217;S RIGHT&#8230; I said that you ask them&#8230; If you are serious about your business, then don&#8217;t put your time into a mentor that doesnt know what he/she is talking about. You have so many people on the internet acting as if they are successful and never made a dime. BE CAREFUL</p>
<p>So questions to ask&#8230;<span id="more-184"></span></p>
<p>1. If you are looking for a mentor in your primary business it would be good to know how long they have been doing that type of business and their success. Not necessarily their income but some stats on their success is always great.</p>
<p>2. Do they have a specific system they train their mentees on?</p>
<p>3. Is their a mentorship program available and how long is it?</p>
<p>4. How many people are they mentoring and do they have any testimonials?</p>
<p>5. How much money would you need to invest to get into their program if anything.</p>
<p>6. Do they have any questions for you or about you?</p>
<p>7. Who have they been mentored by</p>
<p>These are a few questions that you should ask when searching for a mentor. Any mentor that understands the importance of this would have no problem allowing you to interview them. Let&#8217;s face it a mentor wants as many success stories as they can that is why they&#8217;ve decided to help others to succeed.</p>
<p>If you are looking for my mentorship opportunities, please dont hesitate to leave me a contact. I actually have a 5 week program that I do which in the introduction into my mentorship program.</p>
<p>Anywho happy Mentor Hunting! <img src='http://www.taureaavant.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_surprised.gif' alt=':o' class='wp-smiley' /> )</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What do you do in your down time? Ya know that time when you are not working to generate an income?</p>
<p>Are you watching TV, reading a book, spending money at the mall?</p>
<p>Second question is what you do on your down time bringing you in money? Probably not&#8230;<br />
That&#8217;s so unfortunate because so many of us do just this. <span id="more-93"></span>We spend our downtime not generating any income or knowledge but yet complain for lack of money. Let&#8217;s face it we probably spend more time watching TV or giving away money then we do creating money generating actions.</p>
<p>Why do we do this? &#8230;. Hmmmm Is it be cause we just dont enjoy making money? AAAAHHHH That can&#8217;t be it. Not at all. Or is it we just dont know what to do?</p>
<p>What ever your EXCUSE is let&#8217;s promise never to make excuses for our lack there of and make it our business to create money generating times all the time. Im not saying give up your leisure time all together but spend some of the time you spend wasting away to generate multiple streams of income for you. Let&#8217;s think about it, when we watch TV everybody involved in that show makes money but us!!! From the company who made the TV to the cable program to the show producers actors and directors&#8230;.EVERYONE but who?? That&#8217;s right the fans of the show. We spend hours watching TV which will never make us money. How about cut your TV time in half and make that time to generate an income for you&#8230;</p>
<p>Dont know what to do? That&#8217;s where I come into play&#8230; If you are looking to find ways to generate more income in your down time, let me help you. Let&#8217;s stop throwing away our money and start making money! Im just saying!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today&#8217;s economy has made me more nervous then ever! I mean nothing is ever guaranteed especially our jobs. it is time for us now to take control of our own financial circumstances. People are now going to the internet to find ways to make more money. People are paying for great information and ways to generate a little extra income online. Have you?</p>
<p><strong>LEARN TODAY</strong></p>
<p>There are so many things you can do to generate some additional income online and today I am gong to discuss 5 easy ways to make anywhere from and extra $500 to over $5000 per month.</p>
<p><span id="more-26"></span></p>
<p>1. Affiliate Accounts – These are absolutely one of the easiest ways to generate some additional income. Best of all they are FREE or involve very little investment anywhere from $20 to $50 per month. You are able to sign up for several affiliate accounts and promote them online and get a percentage of all the sales. There are so many places to go to get signed up for affiliate accounts. To view some of the ones you can join today check out my recommendations and start earning money TODAY!</p>
<p>2. Blogging – Blogging is becoming more and more popular. People blog about everything. Blogs can be discussions from losing weight, to catching flights, to the latest fashion trend out. The idea is to create attractive information to keep people coming back. Find topics to discuss in your blog and keep your posting consistent. Join my email list up on the right to find out when I&#8217;ll be doing another training on blogging.</p>
<p>3. Offering Skills – Today you are able to freelance your skills online via websites looking for just that. A few websites I&#8217;ve used in the past are www.getafreelancer.com, www.odesk.com, and www.elance.com. These websites provide opportunity for you to find jobs that you can complete with the skills you already have. For example, if you are good at typing you can find jobs being offered to get a quick payment for.</p>
<p>4. Sell Information – Today one of the best industries is the information industry. Millions of people pay for information on a daily basis. If you know you are an expert in anything from quiltting, dating, partying, WHATEVER… write an ebook about it and sell the information for anywhere from $1.99 to $20. The lower the price the easier however the great thing about Ebooks is that there is no publishing fees involved.</p>
<p>5. Network Marketing – MULTI-BILLION dollar industry!!! Point Blank Period network marketing has proven itself to be a lucrative business if you are willing to put in the work. This is ideal for anyone and I strongly advise if you haven&#8217;t done so already, consider this wonderful industry. In fact Fortune to Success Magazine and President Bill Clinton to Donald Trump all recommend Network Marketing.
