With so many people getting into business that have never really owned or ran a business before, I felt the need to share a big about setting up a business.  See, this is an area that can be critical to achieving success with owning a business. 

Now I know that this is not something that is talked about all that much but it is an area that if done well from the beginning, it can really increase the speed for your success.  Let me put it this way.  Normally, when someone starts a business they’re the ones doing most, if not all of the work.  And that’s fine if you want to be a self employed person and being a slave to your business. 

But if you don’t want to be a slave to your business then you need to set up the business so that you can get other people to do the work for you. 

Now I’m not talking about outsourcing your business to other companies here.  That is a good idea but you still need to manage the contractors to make sure that they’re doing a good job.  What I’m talking about is setting up the structure of your business so that you will not always have to be the one watch everything. 

See there are areas that every business needs to have and realistically, there should be a manager taking care of that department.  Then you only need to deal with that one person, the manager, for you to find out everything you need to know about what is happening with that area of your business. 

There are a couple of key sections that you should plan to have a manager looking after for you.  Things like Marketing/Sales and Finance.  These two sections should have someone looking after them and making sure that they are moving forward.

Now what about when you are first starting or you are very small, should you still have these sections? 

Absolutely YES.  It’s just that you will be the one managing that position in the beginning.  But you should still plan and think about what you’re going to need. 

Let’s put it this way.  If you go and write out your business structure, the areas or sections of your business, it isn’t hard to figure out what each of the posistions need to be doing and what their responsibilities are.  This way, as your business gets bigger, you’ve already set out what you will need in the way of an employee and what their responsibilities will be. 

So just to give you an example.  Most people don’t really like to deal with the finances but they know that they need too.  So you might want to structure this department with a bookkeeper/administrator and a CFO (Chief Financial Officer).  Like I said, you might be one or both of these in the beginning but by know this and what each of these people will be responsible for, you will know what you need and where your business will be heading.  (Plus, this is big for the Law of Attraction)

I suggest that you spend some time and look at this for your business.  This is one of those things that you hear about where you will be working ON your business and not IN your business.  This is also one of those things that will move your business forward faster because you will know where you need to be going. 

I would love to finish this post off with a bit of a story that I heard from Steven Covey, I think.

In the forest there is a group of people that want to put a road from one end to the other.  There are all of these different workers working away at choping down the trees with their axes, and others sharpening the axes, and others cutting all the branches off of the trees that have fallen, and even more people dragging all of the branches and logs away. 

Then there are managers that are out there making sure that the workers are staying fresh and are on the right track.  They are putting on courses and trainings that teach the workers how to be more effective.  These managers are making sure that the workers are following the plan that has been laid put for them, and so forth.

Then there is the leader.  This person climbs the highest tree in the whole forest and surveys the land to make sure that they’re going in the right direction.  Then this person yells down to the managers… “WRONG FOREST!!!” 

I really like that story because it shows how there needs to be people at every level of the business and how each of them has their own responsibilities.  Now with you being the CEO or the Owner, YOU need to be that leader and guide your people in the right direction so that your business moves forward successfully.

But to do this, you need to make sure that you have your business structure set up and planed out.  The sooner you do this, the sooner you will be able to effectively get other people to work for you to produce your business more money. 

Again, I suggest that you look at this for your business.  You will be happy that you did. 

Talk to you later.

In the world of online MLM, you get a lot of new people starting new businesses every day.  And these new people are looking to achieve success and achieve their dreams.  But most of them miss this one big point.  They miss the part about being a trainer for their business and to the industry.  Let me explain in this training video.

Do you see what I mean?  So many people want to become successful in MLM but they feel that they do not have anything to share.  They feel that they cannot train anybody because they have not built a big business or even a little business.  So they get stuck and do not do anything.

This is something that is a very big issue and it’s something that needs to change.  If people would step up and make the decision to be a leader, they would find their success.  They would find it because people want to follow someone that will help them achieve their goal, not someone that knows everything about everything. 

So make the decision and become a leader.  I am challenging you to do one thing with your online mlm business to be a trainer in this industry.  Do a conference call or a video on building a website, or getting leads, or even what to look for in a company.  Just don’t continue to go out there and blab about your company.  Go and help people with their success. 

Zig Ziggler says “If you help enough people get what they want you will get everything that you want.” 

This is totally powerful and you really should take it to heart. 

So again, I am challenging you to take the steps forward to become a trainer.  I would love to hear your story about what you have done to move towards being a trainer.  Just write it in the comment section below.

Hope that you enjoy the rest of your day my friend.

There really is a very big connection with your emotional state and your business.  Most people do not realize this but there is and it has a major impact on your business. 

Without being in the right emotional state, your business will not have the energy that is needs to really grow.  You are the one that nourishes your business and if you are not there emotionally, you are going to have a real challenge with having your business take shape. 

See this video so that you can fully understand what it is that I am talking about.

Click here to view the embedded video.

Now you get it.  When you are doing things in your business and you really do not have that energy in it, it’s like trying to push a car up a hill.  You might get it to the top but not without a lot of extra energy put into it. So in these times, look at what is going on inside of you.  There is obviously a reason for you being in this state.

But when you are in a positive emotional state, the things that you do for your business will have that positive energy behind it.  With you being on purpose and expressing that to the world, things naturally will manifest.  You will have things come into your life that will guide you to the achievement of your goals.  Everything in your business will flow easier like having gas in that car.

I hope that you take what I have learned and realized and apply it into your own life.  Make sure that you look at what’s going on inside of yourself when you are not in the flow.  You will be much happier and you will achieve more success in your business and in your life because of it. 

If you could please do me a favour, tweet this along.  I know that I am not the only one that has gone through this.

As you develop your online business, you will find out that you really need to understand the importance of motivation.  Most people don’t even know how it works let alone the importance of it. 

So I have created this video for you so that you will understand.

Click here to view the embedded video.

So like I was saying in the video, motivation is a by-product of action and as you start to act, the motivation keeps you going to do more.  So without the motivation, you would have never gone to the end and made it work.  You would have stopped.  Through taking the actions, you get the desire and the motivation to keep on going.  To keep building your online business. 

Because you understand the importance of motivation and how to attain it, you are now unstoppable.  There is nothing on this planet that can stop you from reaching your goals.  If you start to lose hope, you can just change your actions and you will find more motivation to keep moving forwards. 

I would love for you to do me the favour and tweet this along.  Lots of people really need to understand this because they are truly wanting and deserving of creating success in their online business. So if you like it, please retweet it.

To your success
