Home Heath Care agency

updates@sbcommunity.bankofamerica.com — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 16:32:03 GMT

Hello, I have been looking into starting my own heath care agency but one question that loomed is how does it take to get surveyed to get certified? I don't have much start up money only like 10k but if i have to hire a bunch of cna's for more than a month i will be outta buiness quick. I am starting out of my home and live in Va if that helps any. Also alot of people say you should go to hospitals and clinics to kinda partner with them but what does that mean? Who do i go to talk to and what do i give them? I know i just go hand doctors my business cards do i ?

Is it time to get a store front?

updates@sbcommunity.bankofamerica.com — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 23:33:05 GMT

My wife and I have an internet based business that sells home and garden accessories as well as some other specialty seasonal items. We are based out of our home and have been in business for over 4 years and continue to grow with more merchandise and different types of merchandise. We promote our business via Facebook and my website and do large portions of our sales at large Junior League shows and craft shows and such, which in turn, spurs more sales to our website. Since this is actually 'my' business, I stay at home and my wife has the 'real' job. Therefore I do the traveling on my own - loading and unloading, setting up and tearing down large booths which has hundreds of pieces of merchandise. I do get help from my parents, inlaws and close friends. We receive constant questions at shows and via our Facebook page, etc. regarding a storefront and we have had people come to our house to buy product - scary. Since we have grown so large (we have no garage, dining room and have lost two bedrooms to our merchandise), we have discussed getting a truck with a ramp, which would require a loan. If we are going to get a loan for a truck, why not get a loan for a small storefront? I have begun looking at storefronts and found a few that are within our price range, and that are in our downtown area that currently houses many small businesses - none of which has anything like I sell. I have spoken with many of the tenants and they are very welcoming and would love to have a new tenant in the square - and to have only 3 vacancies is rather rare really. I guess my question is should I go forth and follow my dream of having a storefront? If so, I need to get a loan, which is where I see the problem coming up. Since my business is SO seasonal right now - since I only do shows during peak season - Spring, Summer, Fall, and Holiday, my sales - i.e. bank accound reflects that. We do run a profit, but then a large part of the profit goes back into inventory. I think I could have continued sales with a storefront and still be able to do my shows - to continue to drive the internet sales. I don't know where to begin, I just know that we can really continue like we are now. Advice please?

is my new website any good? please leave comments

The "Big 5" Breakthroughs In Business Life

updates@sbcommunity.bankofamerica.com — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 06:45:03 GMT

Any home business owner, entrepreneur or sales professional can
multiply their income by at least 10x almost overnight and own more
autonomy, independence and security than ever before by understanding
five critical components about their business. This article exposes
"The Big 5" breakthroughs in business life you must understand in the
21st Century...

"Big 5" Breakthrough # 1:

"Who Is Your Business For?"

Do you know? Believe it or not, most don't.

Being real specific and targeted about who your customer or
prospect is opens up huge doors and allows you to become a specialist
in your area. Most businesses try to be all things to all people.

Case in point: A 'general' store makes no money but a store that
sells a very special, unique type of cake with organic ingredients
imported from a special farm in Iowa is sought after and has almost no
competition.

Get it? It specializes.

Example: Holiday Inn

Holiday Inn is dying a slow death. They do not know who their
customers are anymore. They don't target anyone. One minute you see a
commercial targeting business travelers, the next, a $69 dollar a night
special package targeting families going to Disney World.

Ritz Carlton on the other hand knows exactly who their customers
are. It is the affluent market. And they can ask whatever price they
want, whenever they want. And they can get it. Period.

They get it because they know who their business is for and exactly
what their customers want. As a result, they can then deliver, every
time.

If you don't know EXACTLY who your business is for, how on earth can you deliver your solution to them?

"Big 5" Breakthrough # 2:*

"What Is Your Business?"

Most business owners and entrepreneurs define their business too
narrowly. They focus only their products and services. The BIG income
leap comes when you focus on solutions, aspirations, and experiences.

Example: Starbucks

Starbucks does not sell coffee. Nope. Not in the coffee business.
You read that right. They are in the "Third Place Business." And
they'll even admit it.

1st place = Home

2nd place = Work

3rd place = Starbucks

It's a place people go for socialization, escape, to get work done,
atmosphere, productivity, etc. Its an experience. Oh, and by the way,
they sell coffee.

Get it? Heck, even I work at Starbucks a day or 2 a week for an
atmosphere change with no distractions. As a matter of fact, I'm
writing this article at Starbucks right now. Double espresso please!

When you know what your business is you can then, and only then,
increase the value of every customer you get. This is where the BIG
income leaps come in.

"Big 5" Breakthrough # 3:

"Positioning For Power"

Sounds dangerous, huh?

This is the bridge between # 1 and # 2. When you know your who and you know your what you can position your business for power and eventually market share.

Example: Subway

Subway changed from the fast food, sandwich business to the weight
loss business. Did you notice? Just ask Jared. They don't sell just
sandwiches. They sell weight loss.

A new who and a new what is 'positioning.' Subway repositioned
itself. They focused on the psychology of the customer not their
'stuff' and they revolutionized their entire business.

"Big 5" Breakthrough # 4:

"Where Is Your Business?"

You no longer have boundaries in your business except the ones you
create. Boundaries no longer apply and if you're only doing business in
your local area you are leaving a small fortune on the table.

Example: 1(800) Flowers.

You realize you can get flowers anywhere in town right? You pass by
a dozen options a day. So why do people insist on going online to buy
from 1(800) Flowers?

Because 1(800) Flowers has properly positioned itself with no
boundaries and a great marketing strategy allowing us all to believe
that this is a much better, more convenient option. They know where
their business is. Its everywhere. And its positioned for power.

Big 5 Breakthrough # 5:*

"Price Elasticity"

People think people buy things based on price. Dead wrong. Seriously.

Did you know in a recent poll that 75% of people polled did not
even place price in their top 5 reasons as to why they didn't buy?
Fascinating to me.

Often times it is your attitude about price that gets projected
onto the customer. As a matter of fact, 20% of people will buy a
premium price (higher price) option, IF you offer it to them. It has a
higher perceived value.

Business is about finding a who, who is not restricted by price.

In order to do that, you need to actually know who your business is
for (# 1), what your business is (# 2). Then it can be positioned for
power (# 3), and it will have no boundaries (# 4).

Then, and only then, you can find the who, who is not restricted by price (# 5)

Think about this. Read The "Big 5" Breakthroughs again and again.
Print it out. It will give you a great deal of clarity for your
business and allow you to be razor sharp in your marketing efforts so
that you too can...

Multiply your income by at least 10x almost overnight and own more autonomy, independence and security than ever before.

After all, isn't that the point of owning your own home business?

Crumbs or a loaf of Bread?

updates@sbcommunity.bankofamerica.com — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 06:49:46 GMT

I am sure you have got over 100 emails over the last week telling
you how "great" someone's product or teaching is when it comes to
Network Marketing.

How many of these 100...have the tools and skills to help you
success to your next level? Whether you are a beginner or Super
Advanced.

Now, let me ask you how many of these give you what you need for
FREE? Have you ever heard of anyone giving everything for FREE?

Probably not... People are trying to make a living out here on the net.

So, let me ask you...what is there "true" motive to get you to come
in and sing up for their free introductory material? That's
simple...building that list.

Now let me ask you...do you like being just a number? Or do you
really want to build a relationship and a friendship that will
last forever?

I have been around for a little while, following the bread crumbs
all over the internet. I have learn and picked up some things along the
way, but what do I have to show for it?

Well, until the last 3 months of my life....NOTHING! Just a lot of
little crumbs in my pocket that I could never figure out what they all
meant.

Now, there is very experienced people way above my head in this
network that I have GREAT respect for. This is not a bash on them at
all. But, if you are new, or have been in the networking business for
less than 3 years, and you are truly tired of following breads
crumbs...I have a little secret for you....

Let's become friends and I will share as much information with you for FREE that you will ever need.

See, I am not going to sell my product to you. I want to get to know you for you.

I want to hear what you did this weekend, if you have a family, what
your goals for life are, and what you goals for the next 30-90 days
are.

So, what does your crystal ball say when you look inside of it?

How would you like for me to show you more about my crystal ball? http://www.helping1on1.net/

If you want to follow the "Guru's" that are dropping bread crumbs,
then I wish you the best. But, I know it better to eat a sandwich with
2 slices of bread and not bread crumbs.

I look forward in sharing the meat you need to make your sandwich taste better with that loaf of bread that I have for you.

True Leverage vs. Implied Leverage

updates@sbcommunity.bankofamerica.com — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 06:51:23 GMT

If you are like me (and the thousands of other individuals in the
network marketing industry) and have struggled I feel your pain. But
my struggles stem from inherantly being a little lazy. All of us are
in some sense or we wouldn't be part of an opportunity.

Here is where my troubles have been in the past. I have been a part
of a few different companies (like many of you out there) and the
problem is that it has take me some time to learn the difference
between true leverage of your time and money vs. implied leverage of
your time and money.

The difference:

+*True Leverage - You can someone up with a service that
someone is already using and already gladly pays their bills month in
and month out without them ever having to come back to you to purchase
again*+

+*Implied Leverage - You have a product or service that
you continually have to go back and ask people to re-order on an
on-going basis, and the leverage comes in where you can expand with
other distributors to 'lighten the load' on how much product you
personally have to sell each month. However, you still have to go back
and constantly sell your products.*+

Difference: Time, frustration, money

Time - If you have to constantly worry each month or every couple of
months on who you are going to get your sales from each month to meet
your minimum requirements why don't you just go get a sales job. If
you are like me look for an opportunity that allows you help someone
with a service they are already using - however it allows you to make
true residuals month-to-month without actually asking that customer to
purchase again.

Frustration - when it comes down to it people really do not care
where they get their products from unless they are a wellness freak or
they really-really love you. Other than that you could have the magic
pill from Thailand that will stop cancer and people will still be going
through chemo and cancer treatment.

Money - when you don't have to go back to the same customers over
and over again to ask them if they are going to purchase you can spend
more time on aquiring new customers. This is where the law of
exponensial expansion really kicks into high gear when not only you are
doing this - but your team is as well.

I hope you enjoyed and this gives you a little insight of where you will make your next move.

Is Multi-Level Marketing the answer?

updates@sbcommunity.bankofamerica.com — Sat, 13 Jun 2009 14:23:18 GMT

With the current state of the economy and unemployment at its highest in decades, it's no wonder I have noticed an increase in the number of multi-level marketing programs my friends and family are pushing on me. I have been asked to try just about everything from Life Insurance to Vitamins and everything in between. While many of the programs are good and offer great products, my issue with most of them are the costs associated with maintaining your "active" status. Many of these programs have you paying several hundred dollars to start and several hundred a month just to stay in the program. I once had several cases of a particular product in my garage and paid over a hundred dollars a month just to stay in the program. It was very difficult and uncomfortable to convince people to buy my product for hundreds of dollars when they were also struggling along financially.

Earlier this week one of my friends came to me with the latest and greatest. I didn't want to part with my money this time knowing it would surely be lost in the "black hole" as well as stock my garage with god knows what product. He was a close friend so I heard him out... he went on to tell me about it and the different ways I could use it to save on cell phone usage, protect my privacy and manage my home, work, business and cell phone numbers with some pretty cool features. While I think the product is great and could see the many uses for it, I was still on the fence. Well, I have to say I was VERY excited once he told me about the opportunity and how inexpensive it is to join and maintain. Ok... hold on to your hats... $35 a year for the program and $24.99 a month for the service! That's it! I figured I could sign up even if only as a favor to my buddy. As I learned more and more about the cool features and how easy it is because of the low price and easy commission structure, I became a believer in the program! At Just 5 days since I signed-up, I am already profitable!

My point here wasn't to advertise (although it may sound like it :) ), but to make someone (anyone) out there have an open mind and realize that a multi-level marketing program may be the answer to the layoffs and madness of the economy. Perhaps I just wanted to vent my frustrations when trying to talk to friends and family about my program and the negetivity I get before I can even explain.

I'm pleased to invite you to become a part of our company's huge pre-launch, using our

WEB 2.0 Team Pre-Building System (to be released JULY 20'09). Our company is

headquartered in Southern California, was established in 2003 and is operated by some of

the most impressive executives in the world. We have built our own international

proprietary telecom and financial services network that not only allows any cell phone

on the planet cheap talk and texting rates, but to send money using the cell phone as

well.

We are positioned in both the $4 Trillion international telecom industry and the $750

Billion international Mobile Money Transfer industry, which will hit $1 Trillion by

2012. Again, the key thing you must note is we built and own our network and all

technology exclusively. We know of no other company that offers the combination of

services we do, or that owns the core technology and networks that we own. We are by

definition a category creator.

As to customers, we are a membership-based company. We have taken our decades of

professional marketing experience and created a perfect viral system for not only our

members to benefit by referring other members as customers, but have built, and of

course own, what we think is the most powerful business opportunity for micro-

entrepreneurs ever.

Forget lotions, potions, pills and juices; everyone has tried that stuff, it fills up

the garage and can't go global. Forget binary, matrix and other lousy commission

systems; everyone has tried those too and they are tired of being hyped-up and putting

their energy to work only to find out later that the business they joined is not there

for the long-term.

Not only are we groundbreaking in the services we built and offer, but we have created a

paradigm shift in commissioning as well. It's a simple concept that no one else does;

it's called REAL TIME. Instead of customers using services in January, being billed in

February and distributors getting residuals in March, our system pays out residual

commissions in real-time! Every time a phone call is made, or a text is sent, or money

is transferred or a member pays for services, commissions are fired instantly into the

most simple and equitable plan ever. Since we have an entire planet to sign up, our

bonuses are huge and incentives are great!

Our customer opportunity is to join as a free member and enjoy our international talk,

text and money sending services, which are available to the international market place

and upgrade later to plans that suit their needs. Our business opportunity is to join a

company that has created the perfect storm of not only services, but compensation as

well.

I invite you to position yourself right now at no cost into our pre-launch system.

This Web 2.0 site has designed a
system for everyone to use in order to position themselves on top by
recruiting more people. This site really does have everything needed to
pre-build your team for this new, revolutionary "first of its kind"
opportunity.

It truly kills all your birds with one stone:
*VIRAL Inviter - Invite friends from your social networking sites such as Facebook and

more

*Import contacts from email providers such as Yahoo, Gmail and more

*Convert your list to CSV

*Rewards you for inviting more and more people to participate; and by doing that, you

position yourself on top.
