HOME BASED BUSINESS TOPICS

Vacation Video! (Finally)

2008-06-09T19:14:00.000-07:00

Hi Everyone. I know I was hyping up our trip t o Las Vegas and then I left you hanging. We've just been very busy since we returned with keeping up with everything around the house/yard and then catching up with all that we missed in our business. One of the things I did accomplish was setting up a web page with a video of the suite we stayed in. We had an awesome time and if you'd like to see the video the link is below.

I also reported about a month ago that we were in the process of setting up our new personally branded site which is near completion. Hopefully by week's end "The Regular Guy Network" will be complete and running. It's running now, just not 100% finished. Take care everyone and enjoy the video.

Awesome Price Comparisons

2008-05-13T18:33:00.000-07:00

Hi Everyone! I wanted to make a post on some comparisons I have done with the Global Resorts Network membership against some discount travel sites. I researched a resort I have stayed at before, The Resort on Cocoa Beach in Cocoa, Florida. This is a beautiful resort with two bedroom condos, full kitchen and two bathrooms with jacuzzi type bathtubs, and balconies all the way around. It's oceanfront, but also has an awesome pool. Great restaurants on site as well. For the same 8 day seven night week I researched the price on Orbitz, Travelocity, and Expedia the price was the same-$1715. With the GRN membership the price was $698. Over $1000 savings on this particular vacation. I encourage anyone interested in this product, either as a business opportunity or just for the membership as a retail product, please browse our registry.

Take care everyone.

How Will I Market My Business? | How Will Anyone Know About My Global Resorts Network Opportunity Website

2008-05-07T19:09:00.000-07:00

Hi Everyone,

I hear people say this alot. Truth is, it's a great question. Think about it. Do you really know how or why people are visiting a certain web page and not another. It's hard to build a business when you are just out there word of mouth telling everybody to look at your webpage. This is where having a marketing plan and team in place is going to save you alot of lost time through trial and error. If you are new to internet marketing then it only makes sense to align yourself with people who are successful doing what you want to do. When I got into internet marketing , I was very green, although I had some previous marketing experience. So I looked for the best possible team for me to learn from and build my Global Resorts business. When I chose Wealth Funnel System Two for that marketing team it leapfrogged my business forward by months with the education system they had in place. All of the information is given so there are no pitfalls to avoid. It's a simple formula. If you come into business with me, I want you to do well. Why? Because it behooves me financially. And that's what business is about. Sometimes people ask, Do I ahave to use Wealth Funnel System to build my GRN business? I say certainly not. Whatever route you go, I as your sponsor am going to do everything I can to help you. Because it behooves me financially to do so. Take care everyone.

Take A Breath

2008-05-03T16:05:00.000-07:00

Hi Everyone. Hope you are all well and I know you are working hard toward your individual, time, and financial freedom. And you will hear a lot of people saying things like "There'll be time to sleep when you die", and "No stopping unti the job is done". But I hae to say, I have been working in home businesses for over 15 years, and as soon as you start looking at your business with that mentality, that's when the pressure starts. All of a sudden, you don't enjoy your business anymore, you loathe it for a plethora of reasons. Why isn't this thing working. Guys, let me tell you: The journey is the destination. You have to enjoy it along the way. Why work to be free and enjoy like if you're going to kill yourself before you get there. When you look at the Global Resorts business model, is there a better way to make the journey the destination? You work, you earn, then you take a couple weeks and enjoy the benefits of the membership. They work hand in hand. For us in three weeks exactly, it will be Las Vegas. Tonight, just a night out with the wife to see a revival of "The Wiz". Take care everyone, and good luck.

Educate Yourself! This Product Sets Itself Apart

2008-05-01T19:04:00.000-07:00

What's up everyone! Anyone who has ever worked a home business knows how much work goes into the task. You are responsible for everything. You're not just a salesman, but a comptroller, a marketer, and the OWNER! So you want to look for a company/product who lends itself to this type of model with support in helping you put together this business. With Global Resorts, we have an awesome product. But it goes way beyond that. You're set up with a website, and ongoing training, with optional tools to use along the way. One thing that I really like though are the daily conference calls. Dial in to an 800 number and your suddenly on the line with several other affiliates and prospects listening to a short overview of our business. And you also have the opportunity to ask questions with a live Q&A with a top earner in GRN. And I dare anyone to show me a payplan that compares to what Global Resorts has to offer. One sponsorship=get paid for it. One retail memberhship=get paid for it. No building volume with hundreds of people in your downline. And how about the fruits of this business. In three weeks my wife and I are traveling to one of our favorite places-Las Vegas. We are staying at Polo Towers which is the first purpose-built vacation ownership resort on the Strip. Folks, take care and good luck in all endeavors.

REFLECTION: I'M SO HAPPY I CAN TALK TO PEOPLE AGAIN

2008-04-28T20:05:00.001-07:00

Hey what's up everyone. Hope everyone got off to a great start this week. It was 34 degrees and raining here in Chicago. So, odds are, tomorrow has to be better. That's a good motto actually: Tomorrow Has Got To Be Better. It works for anyone and for anything. That's the way I felt when I was involved with a different home business model. I was a Quixtar IBO for two years. Of course, in the beginning I was very excited. I had experienced network marketing before and knew it would take numbers, but that didn't deter me. But my experinces over the next two years certainly did. I'm sure that any of you out there who have worked that Amway/Quixtar model have similar experiences, but we'll save those stories for another day. One point about that time that I would like to touch on though is how good I feel now in the business model that I am in. I remember that by the time I had enough of that business, I could never even talk to people without somehow trying to deflect the conversation back to my business. It was like keeping yourself inside your own prison. I hated doing it, but then again, I knew if I didn't this business would not work. You talk about Freedom. With this product that Global Resorts offers us, we don't have to do that. We have something that people want. This is a fantastic product. Couple that with the marketing training and plan of the Wealth Funnel System and I think it's the best thing out there. And believe me folks, I did alot of research. It has been over 4 years since I left Quixtar and to think coming from that I could be in a business where I din't have to prospect anyone and the only people I actually talk to are verified interested people. I'm going to sleep well tonight. Because of that and it's still raining. Good night!

Global Resorts Network | Just Another Hyped Up Home Business Opportunity?

2008-04-26T08:32:00.001-07:00

Global Resorts Network has put together something that is truly amazing. Many times when a product of service goes the route of network marketing or direct sales the price of the product will skyrocket. This is, of course, to pay for all of these tiny little commissions made by hundreds of people all the way down through their organizations. Global Resorts on the other hand has given a product that not only is a great product and value, they've actually dropped the price. These types of travel memberships to 4 and 5 star resorts, routinely sold in the United States for between $7,000-15,000. Now for only $2995 you get an unlimited membership to over 5,000 resorts that last a lifetime and is transferrable to your families. I think anyone that goes on vacationa at all, will certainly understand the value of this type of product. And unlike most other home business opportunities, there is actuall a retail market for this product. And to top it off, a single commission for sale or sponsorhip of another business owner is $1000. How many people would you have to sponsor in a traditional MLM business to make your first $1000? Good luck in all endeavors.

Crunch Time

2008-04-20T20:28:00.000-07:00

Hey Everyone! Sunday night again already. Busy week for me. Working a 40 hour/week job puts a lot of restrictions on things when you're trying to build a successful business. Occupying alot of my time is my announcement that I am forming our "Regular Guy Network". This is not a rival cable station to the WB, but a reference to myselkf and business partners, and partners of our future. We are just regualr people. I work in construction and am not computer savvy. But working with the right tools inthe right system with the right product I've been able to find success. I think we all can agree, at least to a certain extent, that McDonald's does not serve the best food around. Yet, it remains one of the most successful business models in the world. Why? Because of their system. They have found a way of doing business that works and they stick with it. This can relate to everyone working from home. Once you've found the right vehicle (business opportunity), you just ride it hard until you reach the level of success you desire. And regular guys, and gals, can do it. Have a great week everyone.

Time For Sunday Night Reflection

2008-04-13T14:11:00.000-07:00

Hello Everyone. I thought tonight might be a good time to post about how many people feel starting early afternoon onm Sunday. We all start to get that sick feeling. Not really sick, just sick of working. People, when you've done all your research and you get into the business model you're going to pursue, think back to the way you feel on Sunday night. Have you ever just sat up and said I can't wait to get o work tomorrow. This alone is reason enough to never give up on whatever home business you've chosen. You owe it to yourself and your family to yourself to have something better. Quit working to fulfill your bosses and woners dreams and do something to jumpstart yours. Every Sunday night should be your game planning night for what you are going to do for the next week. Don't ever just try to wing it. Without a plan youare bound to fail. Don't give yourself any excuses, and every chance to succeed. Good luck in all your endeavors.

Counter-Advertising

2008-04-11T18:48:00.000-07:00

Sunday, April 6, 2008

I don't even know that this is a real term. This is just what I am calling it for now. Counter-Advertising is a term that for me is used to describe the practice of looking at someone's advertisement and then feignign interest just long enough to pitch them on your product or service. At first I wasn't sure what to think when it first started happening, then when the frequency continued to build it became clearly annoying. Here's a couple of reasons I don't like it. First from my end (the original advertiser), assumably I am happy with what I am doing. If I am placing ads for my opportunity I don't think that screams out loud that I am looking for something else. Secondly, from the counter-advertisers perspective, I wouldn't bother with this. If you are in business do you really think it is worth your time to spend time trying to convince someone who is already involved with another program, or spend it on someone who is looking for an opportunity. I've been in MLM programs in the past and it was very rare that I ever saw anyone working more than one business at a time.Threre are better marketing techniques out there folks. It certainly is probably going to be more difficult to close someone who has the first impression of being annoyed. Try a more targeted market, such as AdlandPro.com. This is an advetising community of people with defined interests in MLM.Good luck with all your endeavors.

WHAT IS NETWORK MARKETING?

2008-03-29T16:56:00.000-07:00

WHAT IS NETWORK MARKETING?
Real Home-Based Business Model Or Perfect Wealth Scam?
Network Marketing is probably more commonly known as, and referred to as, multi-level marketing, or MLM. Many different companies use this business model and is considered legitimate business in all 50 states by the Federal Trade Commission. These businesses also traverse a very wide array of products or services. Anything from household cleaning products to Prepaid Legal Services. Some of the companies you may have heard of are Amway or Quixtar, Univera LifeSciences, MonaVie, and the aforementioned PrePaid Legal Services.
Where many of these businesses fail is in complying with their own business model. These businesses are required to have a certain percentage of their overall total volume to come from retail sales. But in most cases these products are not competitively priced against the retail market, or are just not useful. In the end, most of these companies turn a blind eye to the fact the nearly all of these distributors volume is coming from personal consumption within their downline. This basically amounts to just re-selling the business opportunity over and over and over again, with no realistic possibility of retailing any product.
They also fail the distributors themselves, by promising the world but sometimes not delivering. Most often these businesses involve recruiting and sponsoring huge numbers of people to achieve the wealth that has been broadcast. Even at this point, possibly making good money, doesn’t offer you the freedom you were looking for because now you must work even harder to maintain the bottom end of your business from becoming frustrated or disinterested and quitting. This does not mean that I think this is a bad business, because I do believe this can be achieved, but I think one needs to do a little homework or research to find the right kind of home based business to make money from home that works best for that person.
There are companies out there, multi-level marketing companies that offer compensation plans that pay you for what you do, and not by have to build an army of volume. Global Resorts Network (Gold Crown Resorts) offers a compensation plan that pays large commissions, has a product that has been retailed for the last twenty years, and with their perpetual leverage payplan it won’t take you years to see a substantial increase in your bottom line.
Lastly, do your homework, and make your final decision considering all factors without being "wowed" into a business opportunity too quickly. Good luck in all of your endeavors.
