Should You Start a Retail Business, Stay with Retail Management or Look at a Star Business Online?

Posted by admin on January 27th, 2012 — Posted in Study entrepreneurship

If, like myself, you have a career based in the retail business sector you will know how difficult the last couple of years have been to create any sort of growth. Many retail companies have not survived the recession. I have seen so many small and large businesses fall over once the sales started to drop. You may be thinking that because of your experience in this area that it is wise to continue on your career path and to either continue with a position in retail management or to really challenge yourself and take the plunge into owning your own enterprise.

I have done both. I spent years in retail management before starting a specialist retail store. Both options have their own set of challenges. I will touch on these in this article before introducing an option that you may not have even thought about.

Let’s say you decide to stay in the retail management career.
Okay. You are working for someone else, you are answerable to them, you have to adhere to the rules, and the budget that they set for you. There may be certain operational procedures that you disagree with but what can you do?
They will set how much you can earn and if you are really lucky you will get to negotiate for an increase annually.
You will have to work unsociable hours including weekends that will take you away from your family or your interests.
You will have to deal with staffing issues including days off sick, leave, personality clashes and all manner of other crises.
You will have to commute to and from your retail store rain or shine in rush hour or late at night.

What about starting your own retail business then?
You will have to negotiate a lease which you are responsible for even if you are no longer trading in the future. You will have to buy inventory to fill the store. You deal with insurance, utilities, legal costs, suppliers and reps. You have all of the staffing issues already covered. You ride the roller-coaster of good sales days followed by the frighteningly quiet days. You pay yourself a pittance and tell yourself that this is just a short term thing and you will be making much more when the shop starts performing. You agonize whenever the council decides to dig up the road outside or the weather is horrific or a major sporting event is on that kills your foot traffic.

Think now if you had your own star business online! Think how that would eliminate many of the really bad elements that come with working in the retail industry.

You would need a computer and a phone.
No inventory.
No leases.
No massive setup costs.
No expensive branding.
No staff to employ.
No clock to work to.
No one but yourself to tell you what to do.
No commuting.
No difficult customers.

Right! I made the move to one of the fastest growing global industries a while back after researching the many, many business opportunities online. The great thing is there is no recession on the internet. A billion and a half people are now online and because of the incredible advances in the technology the dream of working for yourself from your home is more easy to attain than you probably realise. And you can run your business from anywhere in the world!

You will need to find a business with integrity. A business that has a training system and marketing system that will give you the full support necessary to achieve your maximum potential. It should have a culture of community where those that are already successful help the new business owners to use the system to reach the same level. It should have a compensation plan that pays large up front commissions and healthy residual payments. It should be led by a team of entrepreneurs who actually care that you succeed with their system.

I have found a powerful marketing system that ticks all the right boxes. If you would like to find out more visit http://www.roadmapforwealth.com/?t=goart6 to meet Jay who is one of the entrepreneurs who developed the system.

Which Business Is Right For You?

Posted by admin on January 23rd, 2012 — Posted in Study entrepreneurship

How do you know what is the right business choice for you?  You definitely should not just sign up, and pay for the first opportunity that comes your way, you want to evaluate but you shouldn’t procrastinate and take years making a decision.   Many people take the ‘tire kicker, I’ll eventually get around to going into Internet Marketing, one day, but for now, I’ll just read about it’ approach.

While there are so many business choices out on the internet, and in offline marketing, hundreds, if not thousands, of entrepreneurs plan to start their own home business within the next 12 months, people still make the wrong choices when deciding on what to pursue.

These entrepreneurs, are normally NOT in the roughly 3% of entrepreneurs who succeed, yes only around 3% of entrepreneurs, make any money at all.  To increase your chances at succeeding in your home business, you should know a few things, you actually have to WORK to make money, yes, you need to put in effort, consistent efforts, you will not make money sitting on your ass.  You know those get rich quick schemes? They normally don’t work, should you take my word for it? I don’t know but here is MY story, I’m 17 now, and making internet marketing work for me, when I was 15, I invested $5,000 into a company, that seemed legitimate, but was technically a get rich quick scheme, I won’t name it  but, I didn’t ever see my money again.  Everyone learns from their mistakes, but I would rather you not have to learn from that one, let’s just say that lesson was on me.

Another thing you should do before starting your business, is make sure that you like it, you do not want to be stuck doing something you hate for money, that is probably why you are looking to get into your own home business, so you don’t have to do something you don’t enjoy doing, your day job.  The main reason I pursued my home business online was that I was rarely away from my computer, and I felt the need to capitalize on this, doing something I already love, and then being able to make money from it, what could be better?

When you are joining any business opportunity whether offline or online, you want to make sure that the people you are going into business with have a good track record, know what they are doing and won’t leave you stranded.  So if you are a newbie in the internet marketing world you want to find a mentor ASAP and don’t jump on the boat with new business, even though they could pay off, its not worth the risk on your wallet, and your mindset.

You want to join a business venture that has proven success already, and a business that actually helps you to achieve the goals you want to accomplish instead of being left stranded with a bunch of books and no assistance.  You want to be handed a bunch of resources, and training on how to better utilise each.  You want to be able to copy the already successful methods of traffic generation, and online marketing.  I want you to have a head start, you can just check out the business, and learn more about it below.

Small Business Property and Casualty Insurance

Posted by admin on January 21st, 2012 — Posted in Study entrepreneurship

Insurance can cover a variety of catastrophes including natural disasters, fire, and theft. Providing good health coverage for your employees can help you retain them. However, these are not the only types of insurance available. You may be required to carry life, business interruption, or auto insurance depending on the nature of your business. Other types of insurance cover business liability or damage to your inventory. Here we are going to focus on Property and Casualty Insurance

Property Insurance covers property loss from fire, smoke, theft, explosion, vandalism, and other disasters. This insurance protects your business from outside affects; it can consist of many different components, so make sure you ask your insurance agent the details of your coverage. As an entrepreneur, you need to calculate exactly what you should insure and weigh it against the cost of insurance. If you insure everything to the maximum extent, it will be very expensive and not make good business sense. For new businesses, property insurance is usually not very high, but it will depend on factors such as the cost of your equipment, the industry type, and safety of the neighborhood. Property insurance is generally considered the insurance that protects your place of business and the tangible components of your company. It protects the property for its cash value and replacement cost. There are two types of property insurance coverage. The all-risk coverage, as the name implies, covers you against most threats. “Named peril” coverage covers you against a particular risk, for example, a fire.

Liability (Casualty) Insurance combined with property insurance would make up the bulk of your insurance package. Liability insurance protects your business in the event that your business activities cause harm to a person. Liability insurance is usually the immediate concern for the entrepreneur. Society is becoming increasingly litigious, so operating a business without this insurance will be risky. If you are running a business where you deal frequently with customers and they visit your place of business often, liability insurance becomes important.

Home Based Internet Business – Is It Genuine?

Posted by admin on January 20th, 2012 — Posted in Study entrepreneurship

If the thought of becoming a millionaire overnight grabs you, or you fall for the promise of quick bucks or get rich schemes where you do nothing because it’s all done automatically, then this article is not for you.

However, if like me you don’t mind putting in some time and effort, and want to combine this with the structure of a ‘business in a box’, then a home based internet business could be just what you’re looking for.

Ensure you do you research up front though – check out what’s on offer. If there is a FREE tour, always take up the opportunity. You can always unsubscribe if it turns out to be something you’re not interested in. But if you don’t find out more information, you’ll never know.

You see, most of these home based businesses for the internet will have what’s known as a lead capture page. It’s as easy as entering a competition by text on your mobile. But this time it’s to get some credible business opportunity information, and all you will be giving is your name and valid email address.

Once you have taken the tour and you have some questions you want answered, you can then normally request a call back. This call back should answer all of your questions, allowing you to make an informed decision about whether the product is right for you. It will also give you an indication of the type of call back your own prospects will receive when you begin your internet marketing business. If the call back is from a pushy sales person, that will probably be an instant turn off. It would be for me!

Sceptics out there will always shy away from online business opportunities. However, if like me you have the philosophy that quality, efficient working demands a good rate of pay, then online marketing could be the home based business for you.

Do your due diligence and a few weeks of setting up marketing strategies, and you could be making a sizeable income from your own home based internet marketing business.
