"Can you just show me a simple step by step system to grow my business that doesn't cost me a lot?"
It's a good question, but I'm revealing this to you today not to answer it, but to dig beneath it and use it to help you recruit more people into your business.
So think about that question for a second. What does it say to you? What it shows me is that many people are willing to work if they have a game plan. They just want to know "How".
More than your company's products or services, more than how great your comp plan is . . . Most of your prospects simple want to know how you can help them quit their job, or supplement their social security income. They want it to be simple, and they want action steps. If I've learned anything about marketing it's listen to your market and then give them what they want. Be the provider of that and recruiting will never be a problem again.

What am I trying to accomplish?
Some days, you wake up to challenges...
The alarm clock didn't go off. The modem isn't working. The milk has spoiled.
And yet, with those challenges come opportunities...
You awake to sunshine streaming through a window. You enjoy reading a newspaper instead of quickly scanning news online. You drink your coffee black, and realize you like it better that way.
What if you could turn all your Home Buyer Assist business challenges into opportunities, too?
It's possible.
Here's the secret: Focus attention on the daily tasks that will lead to success.
Before you make your coffee... Before you butter your toast... Before you drop the kids off at school or complete any part of your morning routine, ask yourself this question about your business goals: "What am I trying to accomplish?" More specifically, "What am I trying to accomplish today?"
It's a short question, but it packs a big punch.
Let's say, for example, that the idea of having a successful online business like the We Provide The Cash business created by John Alexander is enormously attractive to you. Not only does it sound cool to say "entrepreneur," it gives you the potential to make lots of money without spending much upfront. Yet, the same low-cost barriers to entry for an online business can mean a low probability of profit if you can't address the question: "What am I really trying to accomplish with this business?"
Whatever your goals, whatever your talents, you have to give this question your full attention every day. Anything less will lead you in the wrong direction - closer to frustration and further from your goals.
So, ask yourself again: "What am I trying to accomplish?" And continue to ask this question every day, several times a day, to maintain your focus.
Many wannabe online entrepreneurs struggle with this question. It's not because they lack confidence. It's not because they are trying to be evasive. It's simply because - no matter how long they have been thinking about building an online business - they just haven't given the question sufficient, serious thought.
What are you trying to accomplish with your Home Seller Assist online business?
If you choose to give your attention to something that will become your livelihood, you should certainly know what you hope to accomplish with it, right?
Think about companies like Starbucks and Apple. Their corporate and critical successes are due to passion, customer service, and paying attention to the right things.
You have to find those same magic seeds for your online business.
Without a well-researched and well-executed plan for growth, you stand little chance of succeeding as an online entrepreneur in a world of competitors.
Remember, the Internet is not located on a street corner. It's located on the World Wide Web. Your competitors may be anywhere on the globe. Are you ready to compete with them and win?
Do you know what you want to accomplish long-term? Just as important, do you know what you have to accomplish on a daily basis to reach that goal? Do you know what you have to accomplish today?

A Great Time to Start a Business?
Most people would say no.
Well, consider this...
William Hewlett and David Packard founded Hewlett-Packard in 1939, while the Great Depression had been underway for a full decade...
In September 1945, Masaru Ibuka started Sony after his country had been devastated by war and was occupied by a foreign power...
You see, a business start up can not only survive, but thrive in times of economic crisis.
YOU can do the same. And thanks to the Internet your journey to a bright financial future will be a lot easier - and faster - than Sony's or Hewlett-Packard's. You can be making $100,000 a year in no time with your own business with our proven strategies and coaching. Personally, after starting with the Home Seller Assist program in mid-June and with the training provided by John Alexander, I crossed the $50,000 in just over six months and you can repeat or even beat this!

The "entrepreneur's mindset"
How important is it in building a business?" Your mindset IS your business.
It denotes where you will go and how quickly you will get there. The entrepreneur's mindset begins with their excitement about the success to come. The entrepreneur sees the opportunity put before them and he spends countless hours daydreaming thinking about the success and how it will FEEL when it comes to him. It fuels the fire. Without this, the gas in the tank, any entrepreneurial effort quickly empties.
They don't think about failure. You see an entrepreneur by definition is a person who offers a solution to a problem at a cost. At first, the problem that an entrepreneur faces in network marketing is how to solve their own immediate problems. How get a lead? How to get a new team member? How to help that new team member duplicate their success quicker than he or she did it? When they get these issues solved he benefits monetarily for the growth in his Home Seller Assist team, but metaphysically he profits for knowing he has added overall value to the task and process at hand for many many to follow.
The entrepreneur is not done at this point. There's more to be done. The entrepreneur sees the opportunity before him and sees that there is more value to be added. The people directly associated with him aren't the only people to have the problems they began with, so he devises a way to help more than his immediate circle.
The entrepreneur sees no failure. The entrepreneur detaches his emotions from all outcomes be they positive or negative. He sees the results of his actions as merely observable data to improve upon. The entrepreneur always asks himself "How can I do better next time?" And then sets out to improve upon their most immediate results for their personal growth and the benefit of all those associated with him.
The entrepreneur realizes that there is no such thing as "enough", he knows that just like an apple tree grows as large as it possibly can and then bares seeds, that he to must ALWAYS grow. If there is any one quality that the entrepreneur has that sets him apart from the average person is their confidence exceeds their competency.
The entrepreneur sees the opportunity before him and knows he must grow into it regardless of whether or not he knows HOW to do it. He just has confidence that he will. The entrepreneur asks everyday what it is that he wants and then sets out to get i twith excitement.
Step into this mindset and step into success.
Now is the time to take action!

Common Sense Gets in Your Way
The timing is never right.
For all the most important things, the timing always sucks. Waiting for a good time to quit your job? The stars will never align and the traffic lights of life will never all be green at the same time. The universe doesn't conspire against you, but it doesn't go out of its way to line up all the pins either. Conditions are never perfect.
Ask for forgiveness, not permission.
If it isn't going to devastate those around you, try it and then justify it. People -whether parents, partners, or bosses - deny things on an emotional basis that they can learn to accept after the fact. If the potential damage is moderate or in any way reversible, don't give people the chance to say no.
So if you're torn between pursuing a wild dream and following the common sense advice of people who care about you, what do you do?
I say... go for it! When I have followed my heart on career decisions and ignored the well-meaning advice of others, I have done very well.
Make your decision and then "sell" your loved ones on the value of being supportive of your new venture. Make an honest, enthusiastic sales pitch highlighting the many ways that following your passion will benefit them... not you. Make promises. And keep them!
"Someday is a disease that will take your dreams to the grave with you," says Timothy Ferriss. To that I would add this: The only thing worse than "someday" is "later."
29 percent of people fail to keep their New Year's resolutions after TWO WEEKS, thinking "I'll come back to this someday." Don't let YOUR dreams fall by the wayside. Learn how to get easy-to-follow advice and powerful success strategies that have been proven to work right here.

Run A Marathon Without Gatorade?
A simple question right? Of course not!
Second, would you try to put on 20 pounds of muscle by just going to the gym and lifting hard? No you gotta eat right too! You've got to put fuel in the system to get the desired result.
I don't understand why so many people that get started in network marketing don'trealize this. Typically it happens like this: a person joins a new business like the Home Seller Assist program, created by John Alexander, initially fueled off the dream of creating residual income. They see their dream vividly in their mind and it excites them so they join. They go to their sponsor and they say "What do I do first?" There sponsor sends them off in one direction or another, depending on the particular marketing system that team is working with.
The new born networker gets moving in an all out sprint. Their sponsor says call 10 people a day, they call 20. Two weeks down the road they've called 240 people, spent $300 and recruited no one. They go to their sponsor and say "Why isn't this working?" The sponsor says "Just keep going and it will." The newbie, almost exhausted, gives it one last go and goes into an
exhaustive sprint. They say . . . "I called 20 people a day last time and it didn't work, I'm gonna call 40 a day this time cuase that's gotta do the trick." And they set out and do it . . . Two weeks later they come back to their sponsor after calling another 480 people who probably were not that happy to be called, and spending another $500 and the newborn networker has now taken on the negativede meanor of those she called. She provides proof of her work to her sponsor in a negative tone and with a negative mindset as if to say "You lied to me about all this." The sponsor says it's just gonna take time, but you are doing the right thing. Her immediate thought is "Yeah right." (But she doesn't say it out loud.) After the conversation she's already quit mentally, but she calls a few leads here and there for "good measure". Then a month later when nothing happens she quits and goes back to the 9-5 world. What happened?
Now you are probably thinking what happened is she wasn't taught to do the right things and for it she was not prepared properly. I agree and disagree, because there is one thing far more important that she missed. She didn't realize network marketing was a marathon. She thought is was an all outsprint. What happens when you try to sprint a marathon? 400 yards into it you gotta stop. Not only do you have to stop, but if you do make it a little further down the path and you don't refuel yourself, your body is NOT going to let you keep going. It's gonna shutdown.
So if you are going to run the network marketing marathon to success you have to fuel yourself constantly if you're gonna make it to the finish line (If there was one.)
What do I mean by fuel? What initially fuels you to success in your initial start out of the gate is your mental vision of what your success looks and feels like. Once you start getting some negativity down the road your vision quickly gets blocked. But it's that vision that fuels you. Simply,if your vision goes then so does your hope for any network marketing success. You have to ensure that no matter how much negativity you encounter (and you will) that it never smothers your dream. You have to defend that dream with all your heart's passion.
You defend your personal dream by reading and listening to the stories of other people's success. I guess personal development is what they call it, but I call it defending your dream.
In any game you must have both offense and defense to win. You actions to grow your organization are your offensive plays. Your defense is defending your dream - Ensuring it remains intact at all cost. And just like in any game there will be times when you are on offense and times when you're on defense. It's in those periods of defense that you need to be careful. That's when you need a good book with a good story of success that you can relate to.That's when you need to listen to uplifting information. That's when you need to comeback to emails like this one. Because if you let your guard down no matter how much offense you put out there, THEY will steal your vision and you WILL lose. (Just ask the Eagles!) Don't forget to drink your Gatorade you need your fuel!
On that note, you need to attend the webcasts at 8pm Eastern at http://www.fastbuyerloans.com each Tues and Wed
And to see how you get paid, head over to http://homesellerassist.synthasite.com and check out the Compensation Plan under the last box. That little system has now made me slightly over $50,000 since June. You can do it too....
