Regulators and Mandatory Ongoing Education – A Learning Experience

The other day I was talking to a professional business woman about her continuing education courses. She indicated to me that she needed to study for one of these upcoming tests which went along with her continuing professional and ongoing education requirements. If she doesn’t study, and fails the test, she could be out of a job. She would have to shut down her entire business, and she would lose her license, and her livelihood. Okay so let’s talk shall we?

Now then, this gal I met works in California, and the California regulators, along with the federal regulators do require mandatory ongoing education. And they make no bones about it, if you fail to pass the tests, you are history. Nevertheless, they try to soften it up with wording such as; “you should treat this ongoing education and testing as a learning experience.” Well that’s really great, because if they fail the test they lose everything they’ve ever worked for – so, how convenient for a regulator to make it sound all warm and fuzzy when they are putting maximum stress on these individuals under the penalty of taking away their livelihood.

You see, I thought that we wanted to increase the number of people who have jobs the United States, not put people out of business, or take away their income. The only learning experience that one could get out of that whole procedure is to realize and learn that the government is out to make your life miserable, that they don’t care, and that they hold the power over you and your future. That’s what we are teaching our professionals in our society by all this mandatory ongoing testing. It’s gotten totally out of control, but then again the continuing education testing industry is a $2.5 billion industry in the US.

The industry is able to do this because they lobby our government to solve the problem that the government has with regulating industry. The government can’t regulate morality, and it just looks bad every time something goes wrong. Therefore they make more rules and regulations on top of other rules and regulations to the point of absurdity. Then the government says they are doing everything they can because they have ongoing education to help educate the professionals.

Trust me when I tell you, they aren’t educating anyone, they playing an old CYA trick, while trying to put the fear of God into the professionals out there, and keep them under threat of losing their livelihood, and it is a very mean-spirited theoretical strategy that they use. There is no honor in that. Indeed, this is abuse of power by the government, and crony capitalism for those that create the tests and continuing education programs.

I’d say we need the government employees and regulators to go through mandatory ongoing education classes, and if they fail the test, they lose their pension, their pay, their seniority, and their healthcare. That’s what we should do, because that is the threat that they make every time they give one of these tests to a hard-working independent professional in the free-market.

I would like you think about that good and hard because this is insane, and what we are doing is wrong. It’s a dishonest and a mean-spirited practice, it is akin to bullying. It needs to stop. Indeed I hope you will please consider all this and think on it.

Start Your Home Based Business The Right Way

Deciding to have an internet home based business is without doubt a smart decision in these times of recession. If you have a genuine concern for providing answers and solutions to people’s various problems you will most certainly be rewarded you with a decent income. An online home based business is today the quickest way to jumpstart your desire to get a business up and running in a very short period of time. If you don’t know where to start, here are 3 proven ways that will help you implement your business very quickly:

1. Get a mentor

Anybody starting an online business will quickly realise how overwhelming the wealth of information can be. New marketers are exposed not only to dozen of ways on making money online, but also to unscrupulous methods designed to rip them off.

It is very difficult to make a good decision when one doesn’t have a clue on what works and what doesn’t work. The only way to guarantee some kind of success is to follow the steps of somebody who has already been successful in this business. The need for a mentor is crucial as anybody starting something new would need to be trained properly (you need to have marketing skills) and thus avoid all the mistakes every marketer is bound to make.

So find out who is successful in this business. Read reviews on them from those who have been trained them. Enroll on your chosen program and stick to it despite obvious hurdles. Perseverance goes a long way toward your success online.

2. Promote affiliate products

An affiliate product is an item that someone else produces, delivers and support. Your role as an affiliate will be to recommend that others that company’s website with the prospect of getting sales commissions when someone makes a purchase as a result of your recommendation. This is probably the easiest way to jumpstart your home based business online as it will take away the hassle of having to create your own products, to deal with issue of delivery or to even provide support to customers. There is numerous affiliate programs on the internet, and the most popular one is ClickBank.com. You could go on a search engine and type a specific topic followed by the words “affiliate program”. Affiliate programs don’t usually require you to create a website to promote them, so you can earn very fast with this method.

Just make sure you promote a product that you are interested in. People will be attracted not just by the quality of the product, but also by the passion you demonstrate in promoting it.

3. Expand your business by selling your own products and services

Creating and selling your own products and services can prove to be the most challenging option because you have much work to do before you can begin selling. However there is no substitute for creating your own product if you aim to establish a long-term home based business. It is true that with affiliate programs proven content is normally already provided for you, ramp-up time is fast and investment is low.
However creating your own products gives you more creative control and long-term growth potential. Information products are still king (ebooks, especially the “How to” books). Audio is queen (CD set showcasing your knowledge or interview of an expert). Video is hot (offering video on a website can enhance sales dramatically).

You could also consider doing a Webinar, which is a live presentation or training session online. The best part about Webinars is that they can be recorded and offered as a product for sale.
So creating your own product is a must for whoever wants to gain greater financial security. Remember, you do keep 100% of all the profits with this method.

In a nutshell: there is no limit to what you can do when you consider starting a home based business on the internet. Follow these steps with confidence, but above all make sure you ease the whole process for yourself by getting a mentor.

What’s a Winning Home Based Business

Allow me to relate a story that just may sound familiar. I remember the time when a friend of mine, let’s call him Bob, called me up and said something like “Hey…I just started my new home based business and would really like for you, as a favor to me, check it out and tell me what you think. There is a meeting coming up this Thursday and one of the speakers is the guy that sponsored me so if you don’t mind I would stop by and pick you up and we can ride together?” Since Bob was a close friend and I thought it would be good to help him out, and I agreed to go.First of all, we pull into a Ramada Inn where I later discovered this is where they held a meeting every week. The place is pretty nice as we walk into the lobby, but I noticed right off the people behind the counter did not seem to be overly happy with working there. They were two young girls and a young man who were either still in high school or the first few years of college. They were huddled in behind the counter giggling while it appeared the guy was trying to score a date with one of the women. There was nothing in the lobby to give any indication that a meeting was about to happen, and upon finally getting the attention of the young women behind the counter we discover the meeting room was somewhere down the hall. Walking into this meeting room we notice the room was a bit warm and there were probably 15 people. Bob asked me to follow him over to the person who sponsored him into this business. Shaking hands Bob introduces me to him. Now this is the guy who’s really excited and been in this business awhile and is probably making a good income goes into explaining how the air conditioner is out but they are working on it and we should be fine. Bob asks if there is anything he can do to help and the sponsor replies with “If you don’t mind could you help them set up some chairs?” To which Bob replies “no problem” The gentleman walks off to greet others as everyone in the room knows this guy because he has sponsored most of them in there, and he is really excited about it and wants others like you to join into the fun, as they put it. Bob and I finish up placing all of the chairs in order.Soon the meeting gets underway, and like most of these meetings, it starts by acknowledging all of the people in the room who are starting to make some headway in this particular business and just starting to actually make some money at this stage. Each one stands up and everyone claps and cheers. Then, the master of ceremonies, who is the sponsor, begins his presentation about the product and program. For Bob’s sake I listen intensely during his presentation as the sponsor describes for him to be the best product on the market and no one will have to sell a thing…it will sell itself. He uses an example whereby this product is so good you can just place a note in a dog’s mouth and have him take it up to people and they will buy…it’s a no brainer. The meeting ends with the sponsor trying to get everyone in the room pumped up and ready to go out and make a million dollars, and he did a fairly good job, but keep in mind with the exception of me there was one other person in that room that was not, as they called it, a distributor.For the sake of this article the product was health related and at that point in my life I was not all that concerned about my health, the compensation plan seem to be alright, but I was just not ready to jump into this kind of business. After the meeting Bob asked “so what do you think”? I returned with “well I really don’t know enough about this to really get a good enough knowledge base to make a decision…I’ll have to do some research on it”. Just my luck the sponsor heard what I said and quickly came up saying “I understand you need more knowledge but what is it you would like to know because I can probably answer your questions”? “Nothing against you but I like to do my own research because to be quite honest you could be just a bit one sided, so I will see what I can find out”. “Well that is fair enough, if you need any help with anything just let Bob know and he can get in touch with me and I will help in any way I can”. We left the meeting and all Bob could talk about on the way home was how he was going to make millions.I was excited for my friend but was not sold on the idea and it just kind of left my mind but over the next few months every time I see Bob or talk with him all he could do was talk about how I needed to get into this business. One of the times we were talking I ask Bob, “So how’s it going”? Bob replied “I got two other people into the business but they’re struggling a bit.” “Really why do you say that” Bob responded with “well they really don’t know very many people and they have a small family so not many people to talk with” I couldn’t help myself so I had to say “but I thought you could just put a note in a dog’s mouth and it would sell itself” We both laughed. A few months later I ran into Bob and during our conversation he said nothing about his business. Finally, I had to ask about how his business was going and he said he wasn’t really doing anything with it. I asked why and he told me how he had run out of friends and his sponsor was kind of hard to get in touch with so he just got frustrated with trying to sell people all the time because he just wasn’t a salesman.Does this story sound familiar to many of you out there…I’m sure it does…but it doesn’t have to be that way any longer. There have been some pioneers out there in the field of “Home Based Businesses” and they have figured out if they want their business to grow they needed to change some things around, and that is exactly what they have done. They have altered the programs in a way you no longer need to go to family and friends and you no longer have to sell a product. Yeah I know it sounds like it will sell itself doesn’t it”? Well not really, but what they have done is altered things in a way that instead of going out and trying to find people to take to some meeting place and have them sit through a presentation in metal chairs as your sponsor tries to sell your product and convince your friends to come join the business. How would you like to be able to be extremely successful in your home based business but never ever have to take anyone to a meeting or sell them anything? But how you ask…well they have figured out how to use the World Wide Web or more commonly called the “Internet”.Through the use of education this small group of people, referred to as coaches and leaders, have discovered a simple way to help people train is the way of the future, but not in the art of a specific product, but better in the art of a simple step-by-step process of using web pages to expose the business not the product, and to take this just another step what you will learn is how to promote you and your business, not the product and someone else’s business. This is accomplished through web sites which can be called landing sites, business sites, training sites and blogs. They are using videos they have made and placed out onto YouTube, Squidoo, MySpace, or Facebook. Next, they teach their team how to use ad words on Google, or many of the other search engines out there in order to get their web sites to place higher up on the list of responses. They have figured out a simple step-by-step process to do this and they are training their team on exactly how to accomplish this…and it’s working…and working well. Why you ask…People in this arena are morphing if you will into individuals who are not selling a product but are setting up themselves and their business to help people to have more than one product available. For example; back in the day you would be associated with one business and your sold their product which meant that if you talked to 100 people about it you might find 10 people that would talk with you and of those 100 people you might find that 3 are interested, and of the 3 interested if you’re lucky 1 would actually join. That is some really bad odds. What these coaches or leaders are doing is showing people how they can have a home based business that is theirs, controlled by them, owned by them and no matter what happens to a specific company with the many different products they are hosting one company does not affect their business. This gives them the ability to have more than one product; for example, you could have products related to health and beauty, travel, automotive, jewelry, and many others. Buy advertising on the web and adjusting things like tag words your business comes up on the first page of a Google search when someone within the world does a search for something you have. Ultimately, the 100 people coming to you now are calling your phone interested it what you have and you no longer have to sell you simply allow them to buy.I know this probably sounds easy and it’s not because you have a learning curve that you, like everyone else, must endure. The web is far from becoming saturated however there are more and more each day with these so called coaches and leaders so the first thing you need to do is do some research on them. Go to their web pages and read about them…are they trust worthy, what about their family, are they team oriented. Do they really want to help you…do they have training they will give you for free…you must do your due diligence and find someone who meshes with your personality so your able to create and great synergy with them and the team you want to build for yourself. Go out on Ezine and see if they have written any articles and try to get a feel for them. This is probably the best time ever to start a home based business so I urge you to research the web and find something that you will be happy with because there is some work involved and there is nothing that will guarantee your success better than to be doing something you love to do.

Home Based Business Reviews

These days, with so much economic turmoil and financial uncertainty, some folks are looking to start a home based business. Their reasons for starting a business are as varied as the different types of people who start them. One thing is for sure, the home based business is here to stay. And there is every indication that this type of business is only going to get bigger and better. So how do you review and find the business that’s going to be right for you? Here are a few tips to keep in mind when reviewing home based business websites.Reviewing a Home Based Business OpportunityWhen you’re out there reviewing sites, one thing you’re going to notice right off is the sheer number of home based business opportunities that exist out there on the web. There are literally thousands of them and every one of these businesses is going to make some sort of promise about some amount of money that can be earned. If you come across a website that promises “instant” wealth, then you need to pass it by. Don’t get caught up in the hype, keep your head about you and look for a few important things in the information.Promises of Specific Amounts of Money for Little Time InvestedI don’t know why, but there seems to be this tendency for these home based business guys to make promises about specific amounts of money to be earned from their business system. Sometimes they’ll even try and convince you that you’ll only have to work 15 minutes a day, or some other ridiculous amount of time. Use your common sense here and try to remember that any business, even a home based business is only going to be successful if you devote lots of time and effort to it. This is especially true when you’re first starting your business. There is no such thing as free money.Make Sure There is Training OfferedBusiness is already hard enough. It is especially hard if you’re on your own with no help, training, or assistance. The worst place to be is in front of your computer at home looking at the latest home based business material on your computer. You just spent some money to get this latest and greatest system and now you’re stuck. Maybe you don’t understand something, or you don’t see how this affects that, or maybe you can’t get something to load. In any case, if you get stuck when learning a home based business system, you’re going to need help. Make sure the system you purchase offers video training, not just a set of written instructions.Many home based business companies will offer free materials at first so you can take a good look at exactly what is being offered. Make sure you know exactly what you’re getting before you spend any money.

Home Based Business Plan Guide

Every home based business needs a plan to be successful. It isn’t enough to have a great idea for a home based business and just hang out your shingle. Which is a something that many home based business owners learn too late. So even if you aren’t going to be borrowing money for your start up home based business, you still want to take some time to create a thoughtful, realistic business plan.The first step in creating a home based business plan is to clearly define your goals. It isn’t just a matter of saying you want to make a certain amount of money in, say, five years or to leave your competition in the dust. These are certainly lofty goals, but they are vague. You want to define what your home based business really is at the beginning and where you want it to be. It’s a good to break this into segments. Where do you want your home based business to be in six months? A year? Eighteen months? Two years? A home based business plan that outlines your objectives this way gives you a road map to refer to and will ensure you’re on the right track and that you stay there.Second, you have to know the market potential for your home based business. After all, there has to be a demand for the product and/or service you are offering or you have no business. If your home based business is going to provide business cleaning services, for example, you’ll want to be sure that there are companies and offices in your immediate area that need your service. You will also want to look at surrounding areas for opportunities to grow your home based business in the future. The amount and type of competition for your service needs to be taken into consideration too. If your area is already saturated with business cleaning services, you may need to consider a different service altogether. Without some planning and research, however, you won’t know this in advance, and your home based business won’t be as likely to succeed as it could be.Next, you want to consider all the costs your home based business will incur. A lot of times when people work at home at their own home business, they fail to consider the small expenses. Printer ink, paper, postage, long distance phone calls and cell phone bills are easily missed when considering the cost of operating a home based business. And these seemingly small amounts add up in a short amount of time for most business owners. So realistically look at all the costs involved with owning and operating your home business. This way you’ll know how much you have to bring in to meet expenses and hopefully, to make a profit.Now you want to think about how you will market your home based business. Again, you can have the best product and/or service going, but it won’t do you any good if you don’t market it. You need a marketing strategy for your home based business, and you need to plan for the costs involved in making it a reality. You may only be thinking about flyers, circulars and posters to begin with, but they do cost money to produce. And you need to think about other ways as well. Radio, billboards, direct mail, email, Web advertising are all great ways to promote and market your product and/or service. It’s wise to do some research into what type of marketing tools work best for your type of home based business and use a combination of offline and online advertising. You may want to start with more inexpensive marketing methods and work up as you go. To do this, you’ll need to, yes, plan for that. Plan for how much you can spend at the beginning and how much you want to add to your home based business marketing as it grows–which, with the proper planning, it will certainly do.Charles Fuchshttp://www.charlesfuchs.com[http://www.workathomesociety.com]I grant permission to publish this article, electronically or in print, as long as the bylines are included, with a live link, and the article is not changed in any way.

Small Business Legal Plans: Does My Small Business Really Need A Legal Plan?

How many times have you watched the news, read a newspaper, listened to the radio, or saw an article online that reported on a frivolous lawsuit filed against a small business. When you see the word frivolous, you immediately think that business either has won the law suit or will win it. But what one must consider is that many times a small business owner must spend a substantial amount of money to retain legal representation to defend against that law suit. And for a small business, more often than not, that expense can be huge, and thus, can be the difference between keeping the doors open and shutting them for good.

Taking the law suit issue into consideration all by itself, makes for a valid argument for your business having a legal plan that offers some sort of law suit protection. But in addition to that, there are all types of other obstacles that can find their way into the operations of a your small businesses.

Issues such as workers’ compensation, debt collections, business financing, hiring and firing, bad check recovery, and a host of other items, must be considered, when deciding to risk going it alone with out a business attorney or small business legal plan.

Even just one basic item like contract or document review can present a legal issue without seeking proper legal advice. Think about it. It is almost always inherent that your business will offer a service or product that will require a contract. And your business, more likely than not, will purchase services or products that will require you to sign one. Let’s face it, in today’s litigious society, a good legal contract is vital to maintaining a good business relationship with your customers, and just as important, protecting your small business. There are a few small business legal plan providers that offer contract and document review. What you have to decide is if the cost of a s legal plan is worth adding to your companies’ expense sheet? One way to do this is to list every risk, large and small, involved with your business and compare that to the cost of the small business legal plan that best meets your needs.

Most legal expense companies that offer coverage that includes the basics like debt collection letters, contract and document review, legal correspondence letters, and consultation. This consultation can range from trademarks to city zoning. And few companies offer even more extensive coverage, like trial defense services, which provides legal representation should your business be named in a lawsuit. Other companies offer website builder and hosting services, as part of your premium. When you consider that lawsuits have gone wild in America and Canada today, coupled with the fact that it is a must that your business have an internet presence in the current communication age, these types of extra coverage can be a very big plus.

In conclusion, when asking the question “Does my small business really need a legal plan?”, one could suggest that it’s not if your business needs legal coverage, but what type and how much. There for, one could propose that the real question that needs to be addressed is, “What legal expense company offers a small business legal plan that provides my business the best legal coverage at an affordable rate?” You can’t possibly cover every risk, but a comprehensive legal plan should provide the best possible chance for success.

Gerard Cassagnol is a professional marketer of legal plans and identity theft plans for individuals, families, and small businesses. He has subscribed to a legal plan for more than 15 years and has been an advocate of affordable legal protection in the USA and Canada.

One of the most profitable ways to create online cash is by creating a product that others are happy to pay for.

Product creation is legitimate method of generating money through internet marketing but many entrepreneurs get it wrong. They start by imitating their Internet marketing gurus by creating information products on Internet marketing in hopes of getting rich the way their heroes did. The problem is that they usually don’t know what they are doing and enter a highly competitive niche with very little marketing experience or connections.

Here are a few tips for effective product creation that may help you get on the right track:
Start by finding a profitable niche with low to moderate competition. If you conduct some rudimentary market research and keyword research, you’ll find many opportunities in areas that will surprise you. Amazon and eBay are two great places to brainstorm for product ideas.

Developing Your Product does not have to be a difficult project. You can find experts in the right field for your niche and pay them to write the material while an artist designs the packaging and website or blog. You can outsource the entire product creation part of the project after you conduct the research and testing to ensure profitability.

Sales and marketing strategies should be created while developing the product and learning about the market. Some experienced marketers use pay per click to drive traffic to their offer page; some folks outsource the entire marketing campaign to affiliates through ClickBank or other affiliate programs.

Product creation does not need to be hard, particularly when the merchandise is electronic. E-books, videos, audio and multi-media products sell very well. They are distributed immediately to customers electronically. Once you have a good feel for a niche market, try to service your customers with associated products and upgrades. If you want to earn money online through product creation, you must understand supply and demand. The majority of new online marketers fail miserably because they go after highly competitive markets or forget to research their chosen niche properly. You have to create your products according to the needs, wants and desires of the prospective customers.
