I am Tim Rohrer, and I have tried just about every income opportunity and home based business you could possibly think of in the past year. 99% of the time I was scammed, burnt and left behind when it came to finding a program that would deliver real results. Most people starting a home based business hop into an opportunity with broken promises of making a fortune overnight. Well I am here to tell you the hard facts and hopefully give you a bit of insight. Truth is, you can make the millions, but you need a step-by-step process to make it happen and a proven one at that.

Back in the summer of 2005 I sold my guitar for $100 profit and decided to invest that $100 into an e-book that opened up my world to a new realm of possibilities. I took this knowledge have since been able to earn a modest $5,000 per month. How can anyone start with $100 and build such a business one might ask?

I learned the hard way; it took a lot of wasted advertising dollars, phone calls and independent research. What I did learn is that it’s important to network with other successful home business owners. Having a mentor that will show you his or her proven success is essential when building your internet business. People love the idea of a team and that’s what provides insight, guidance and feedback. If you are able to find a team of people to work with and grow your business, half of the battle is already won.

Do not re-create the wheel. If Donald Trump said to you, “I did x, y and z to make 1 billion dollars”, I am sure you would follow those steps. When shown a system that works, go with it and do exactly what it tells you to do. Most people will tend to jump into an opportunity and don’t do a single thing with it. Being persistent and setting personal goals will help grow your business. Find a mentor or someone that is willing to show you their success and duplicate it. Simply put, do what they do.

The number one home business mistake is when people try to recruit their friend’s family and relatives into their opportunity. If you have chosen a team of successful networkers and marketers, they will provide you with a step-by-step process on how to put people into your business. Friends and family aren’t necessarily expert marketers and entrepreneurs.

The honest truth here is to advertise your business. If the local Pet Shop down the road didn’t run specials and advertise in the local newspaper, they would draw very minimal business. Putting an ad out in the paper helps draw people that are looking for your opportunity, rather than you trying to find them.

Find out where entrepreneurs and business builders like to hang out on the internet. If you wanted to see a professional football game, you’d have to go to the football field. The same idea works on the internet. Find forums that business minded people tend to hang out on and discuss home based business opportunities. A few good ones are talkgold and money group forums and whydowork at home. Follow a few of these simple steps, and I guarantee you will see success.
