I know that many people feel the same way that I do when it comes to getting the tax return done. Why does it have to be so complicated? It seems that taxes are just one of those ADULT chores that NEVER goes away…hence the saying “death and taxes.”

OK, I’m done whining for now.

If you are a home based business owner, make sure that you take advantage of all of the tax deductions that our generous Government makes available to us when it comes to home ownership (something that is becoming more and more obsolete these days!) And what I mean is besides the normal deductions of mortgage interest and property taxes paid…if you are running a home based business, and even if it is just an internet business and it doesn’t take up a lot of space, you can still take the Home Office Deduction.

Remember to Take These Home Based Business Deductions:

The Home Office Deduction-

This deduction can help take the biggest bite out of your tax bill. If you are a small business owner, self-employed and do your work from your home in a space that is consistently and exclusively used for your business, you can take this deduction, even if the space that you use in your house is not a completely separate room. It must be a clearly defined workspace where no personal activities take place.

A percentage is allowed for this deduction…
Figure out the approximate percentage of your home used for business. For example, if you have an eight-room house and your office occupies one room, your workspace would be about 12.5 percent. You can also add up the total square footage of your home and the square footage of your workspace to figure out the percentage.
Add together your rent or mortgage interest, utilities, maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance and multiply the total by the percentage you use for your business. (If you own your home, you can also factor in the depreciation on the room or space you work in.) Your final figure is your allowable home office deduction.

Business Expenses

– Even if you don’t take the home office deduction, there are many other expenses that you can take deductions on to help reduce your tax liability. Keep all of your receipts throughout the year and a running log of all of your daily and weekly expenses to have proof that your deductions are legitimate. Below are some expenses that can be deducted:

**office supplies
**postage and shipping costs
**printing expenses
**all phone expenses
**internet service used for your business
**memberships in professional organizations
**advertising expenses
**business insurance
**seminars and courses (inclued travel to and from)
**services by other professionals (attorney, maybe a good tax accountant?)
Big improvements, such as a new computer system or a suite of office furniture, can either be immediately deducted up to $25,000 in the year they are bought or depreciated over several years. (Five years is the typical depreciation period for most equipment.) It’s worth it to deduct large equipment purchases right away if your business is showing a profit.

Hope this information has helped you out with your home based business.

Good Luck with your taxes…I wish you many Happy Returns!

The internet is flooded with stories about how to gain success and wealth with passive income. Some is about writing e-books, some about membership websites. Recently I signed up for a new membership website in a niche that interests me very much. The price was about $200 for a year access. I just found out that the guy who runs the website; have had almost 300 subscribers within the first two months. That’s an income of $60.000 – for two months work!!! Amazing.

But how did he do to get so much attention and so many subscribers in such a short time?
Well he already had a strong brand on the internet with thousands of followers on Twitter and thousands of subscribers of his e-mail newsletters. When followed by that many it is pretty easy to get the word around the grapevine.

However building such a brand doesn’t come easy and you don’t build it overnight. My guess is that his brand building started at least 4-5 years ago, by commenting on blogs and forums within his expert area. Sidewise he developed his expertise and sold his hours in traditional consulting way and through success stories from his clients his brand got bigger and bigger. After some time he started guest blogging on respected blogs – again within his area of expertise. He started writing e-books which sold really well. At this point his followers must have been like a stab of ambassadors recommending his work to every one they met. I picture the Donald Duck cartoon where the giant snowball is rolling down the hill keep getting bigger and bigger.

So if you have the expertise and you have your followers, how do you build a membership website? Well actually it is pretty easy and free – well almost free. You have to pay for your webhosting, but that’s basically it. By using the a free blogging and content management system called WordPress, you can handle members and create hidden content that only members are allowed to see. When you’ve setup your webhotel and domain, install WordPress on it, either through the one-click-installer app that your hosting provider offers, or find a video on YouTube which describes how to install wordpress manually. It only takes a few minutes to get startet.

That’s it. Now just invite all your followers and start create some greate content so your followers will recomend you to their network.

As a woman entrepreneur, you actually are in charge of your own life and your own future. You can choose to work with whomever you want and in whatever industry you choose. If you decide not to work one week, you can do that. You don’t have to work with people that you don’t like. But, most of all – you make the decisions.

On the downside, for a true woman entrepreneur, there really isn’t a “Monday”, because every day is a work day. You will work more hours and harder hours for yourself than you will for any other boss, yet somehow it doesn’t really matter. It is a lot easier to put in the hours when you see a direct result of the work you do and you retain all of the profits.

Being a woman entrepreneur is a wonderful way to be able to express yourself, to enjoy your working life, and to actually make more money than you would by working for someone else. In addition, you are setting a good example for your daughters who will grow up thinking that they can indeed do anything.

Having your own business is one of those so-called “American dreams” that the risk-takers among us dream about and right now is a great time to take a chance and enter the marketplace as your own boss.

Consultants are usually hired on the account of their expertise and experience, and their ability to guide people into learning the key elements of a particular field of activity. Besides consultations for individual professionals, organizations also hire consultants to identify problems or to teach employees new skills. However, not knowing much about the consulting domain or having a poor set of skills & expertise will never bring you the success you are seeking in the consultancy industry.

Consulting seems to be an easy and profitable venture, but in some cases, mistakes can irremediably damage your progress. Let’s see some of the most common mistakes people do when trying to become a consultant:

Mistake 1

Approaching an unknown area of expertise

This is perhaps the worst mistake you can make when trying to become a consultant. I’ve seen people who wanted to try career consulting even though they never had a business or worked in a leadership position. What advice can you give to a man who is about to lose his job if you have never had success with yours? None. You will probably end up spending that person’s money and they will ask for explanations when things go from bad to worse. This is an unpleasant situation for everyone, and it will never bring you success as a consultant, regardless the domain.

Mistake 2

Not sizing the target clientele

A surprising number of consultants don’t calculate the adequacy of a market they plan to sell their services prior to build their consulting business. Indeed, this is a time consuming process, and it can cost money, but you need accurate results. Even though the response you get is not satisfactory (meaning that your area of expertise is not in demand on the consulting market), you still have a chance. Reassess your skills and certifications or take a new training course; you can always become a consultant in another domain.

Mistake 3

Poor focus of your goals

Consultancy is a tricky business, and you need a good start in order to keep motivation. Unless you have one or two clients in the beginning, the first months can be like hell. You fee like nothing happens, people are not returning your calls, and you don’t make any money. Don’t lose focus on your goals by trying other things that can bring quick money. This will only prolong your efforts until your reach the turning point.

Mistake 4

Waiting for things to happen

No business was ever made from behind the office desk, that’s for sure. Whenever you have a meeting and you talk to a client, good things happen. However, if you think that becoming a consultant means that clients will come to you, you are absolutely wrong. Get out there, talk to people, make calls and start an aggressive meeting campaign.

Mistake 5

Spending less on marketing

Marketing is the life and blood of any business and any successful businessperson will confirm this. Becoming a consultant requires you to adopt an aggressive marketing campaign, and remember: no cuts in the marketing budget. This could mean cutting the list of your prospect clients, and you don’t want that.
Now that you know the most common mistakes to avoid when becoming a consultant, I hope you will make all the right choices. Success is just around the corner; are you strong enough to claim yours?

Find out how to run your own business: 9 Things Stopping You From Being a Consultant

You might ask what are information products and how can they benefit me?

Information products are any kind of information that you can provide to your audience. It can take any of many forms available. E-books, reports, podcasts, and video files are examples for these products.

Information products can benefit you in two ways. First, these products can be used to generate income from the direct sale of the products. Second, you can fill these products with links to you website or other websites you are affiliated with. This way you can either increase the traffic to your website where additional sales can be done for other products that you have, or you can sell other peoples’ products for a commission, which is a great way to generate passive income streams.

If you have a basic idea about what people in your niche are looking for but are unable to find specific ideas, don’t worry. Here are some tips that you can employ.

1) Amazon is a huge repertoire of ideas. Let’s say that your niche is horseback riding. Searching for books about horseback riding in Amazon gave more than 4,700 results. Among the titles that I found were:

* Getting the Most from Riding Lessons

* How Your Horse Wants You to Ride: Starting Out, Starting Over

* Centered Riding

* Horse Back Riding, from a Medical Point of View

Imagine the wealth of information you can get if you review all these topics. You can use these topics and expand from your own knowledge about this matter. You can even read some of these books to get fresh ideas.

2) Search Engines are another popular place to look for ideas. Again, type your subject in the title area and see the results.

Our previous example, horseback riding, gave 20,300,000 results in Google search engine. One of the results was “Horseback Riding Stables & Horse Rentals”, which is a site dealing with how to build a stable and take care of it and what to look for if you want to rent a horse. Another site was “Horseback Riding: Ranches, Camping, Bed and Breakfast”, which provided ideas and information for people who are interested in making long rides and need places to stay for them and for their horses.

You can take any of these examples and write an e-book or a series of articles about the subject.

3) Article directories provide another source of wealthy information about your niche.
Sticking to our example, horseback riding gave more than 4,200 articles in Ezine alone about this subject. Some of the titles were:

* Horseback Riding Lessons – Living the Horseback Riding Dream

* Maui Horseback Riding – A Unique Experience

* Horseback Riding – The Best Horseback Riding Travel
Experience

* Horseback Riding Summer Camps

Be reviewing some of the articles written about your niche you can have a sense of what other writers are writing, which might give you a handful of fresh ideas that you can use to add your own information.

4) Flip through magazines and books that give information about your specific niche. Headlines that are mentioned in these media can be flashy and can spark a lot of ideas.

When you want to use information products to generate passive income streams you don’t have to recreate the wheel. Just have a look at what other successful people are writing and follow their lead.

Compare it to fishing. If you are looking for large, freshwater bass, you obviously aren’t going to go fish the ocean. It may seem like an obvious scenario but people do stranger things.

Lets take a look at ways you can build your brand online.

1. A cohesive brand strategy – From a designer’s view, it is extremely frustrating when you look at a potential customer’s current branding. You’ll see a logo that uses one color scheme in one instance, look to your right and you’ll see the logo using a completely different color scheme. At that point you know you are going to have a battle on your hands. They are obviously having an identity crisis.

You don’t want to be in the same position. Take some lessons from the big Fortune 500 companies. They have strict brand guidelines they follow in order to build a cohesive brand. Customer’s won’t have to ask themselves if they are shopping with the same business, they recognize the business and they will start trusting the business.

2. Take a leap of faith – So you know how to run your web site, you’ve built a customer base through naturally generated traffic and you’ve learned how to do email marketing. Well it’s time to take a leap of faith and start focusing efforts on something else. Don’t forget about what you are doing well, just add something to the mix. You can put together tutorials, eBooks, hold seminars, speak publicly or even use direct mail. The business will likely gain an entire new audience if you added another form of marketing to your efforts. If you aren’t comfortable at first, don’t worry, you learned how to operate your own business didn’t you? It might take some time, but you WILL see results.

3. Be a socialite – It’s just about in every post on every entrepreneur blog so there has to be some truth to it, right? Get on social networks. This is another form of networking that can benefit you and your company tremendously and will help in your efforts of being everywhere. You’ll gain new awareness from a new audience, you’ll have another way to communicate with customers and you will gain credibility. Going back to Tip #2, you might be uncomfortable at first, but realize it was new to everyone else at some point. Don’t get discouraged if you don’t have 10,000 followers in the first 6 months of using Twitter or haven’t found 5,000 people to Fan you on Facebook. Just like your customer base now, it takes time to build.

4. Visit blogs in your niche – Yes, they may be the competition and you might not want anything to do with them but why not increase your own exposure by including yourself in conversations on other blogs in your niche? Don’t bash the competition in your posting, but be informative and creative in your posting. The other respondents may find your information to be valuable and you not only gain a potential customer but you also gain credibility. If the competition doesn’t like you posting on their blog, so be it. They will delete the comment and you’ve only wasted a few minutes of your time.

5. Partner up – So you have a blog and it’s doing well. What if you could double the exposure of your own blog by partnering up with others? Sounds good, huh? Building a “posting crew” is a great way to build more exposure online. They are likely to link back to your blog in their own. It’s likely to bring in a whole new audience you might not have tapped into yet.

These are certainly only a few ways to really get a good start on building your empire online. There are other necessary steps you must take in order to make the most of your efforts. If you follow these basic guidelines, you will likely see an increase in your traffic and customer base.

Company Profile

Starting in 1963, Mary Kay has been doing business based in Dallas, Texas. Their product portfolio includes cosmetics, skin care products, anti-aging solutions, and more. Regardless of the competition within this industry, Mary Kay has established its own franchise in major cities around the world and is gaining in popularity.

Mary Kay Products

Mary Kay has an expansive selection of body lotions, makeup, sking care, and fragrances. The diverse product lines, for example, Age-Fighting TimeWise® series, are designed to help women with their entire beauty care requirements from gels to moisturizers to makeup. MKMen® Skin Care, Men’s Fragrances and Mary Kay® Sun Care are three product lines designed for men.

The company website offers you the chance to insert your own image and create a virtual makeover. In fact, advice on how to use their products has been one reason the company stands out from the rest of the cosmetics industry.

MLM Strategy

Mary Kay has continuously chosen to offer their products through mlm network marketing strategy. Many Mary Kay competitors have suggested that the networking strategy for selling cosmetics is a scam. Nonetheless, it is a proven fact that network marketing is effective for selling their product line in spite of what others may say. There is no doubt that network marketing is a viable means for being successful in many fields, including cosmetics.

Mary Kay’s success stories are not just based on the quality of its products. The growth is all attributed to the tireless determination of their members who are pushing for their own financial success through the company’s offers — marketing, educating, and direct selling to the consumer market.

Compensation Plan

Mary Kay uses the “stairway-breakaway” compensation plan. A new member must buy their own products from their sponsor to use in selling to consumers. Compensation is made by the sponsor at this juncture not by the member.

You earn points with each sale which increased your rank. As you move up the “stairway” and accumulating points along the way, you eventually “breakaway” from your sponsor and become one yourself to earn commissions that comes with every sale made by your members.

Becoming a Sponsor

Being a sponsor doesn’t mean that you will earn a quick profit. As a sponsor, you will need to build your own team. Your commissions grow as your team grows and produces. This home-based business plan does allow you to be financially successful through the “stairway-breakaway” strategy as you build your own downline.

Recruitment plays a major role in this MLM opportunity. Despite the popularity of Mary Kay’s product line, it is important that every member of your team is active in the direct selling and marketing business. This includes seminars, open-house tutorials on MLM and direct selling strategies for your members to guarantee that they are well-equipped when they start.

Conclusion

Mary Kay has proven to be a viable mlm opportunity over time. As with all mlm opportunities an individual should understand that your success all depends on your ability to understand the home-based networking venture in order to successfully create their own team, marketing, and direct selling of Mary Kay products. Having a strong lead generation strategy is crucial.

What do you think is the key element that allows their almost effortless success?

Is it their background?

Well, a recent study of a group of successful entrepreneurs revealed that they all came from a range of different backgrounds, some from very poor backgrounds. Despite the different circumstances from where they started, they were still able to attract success. So, having a privilege background is no guarantee of success.

Is it their brain power?

Quite a few of them had very little formal education at a high level when they started out on their road to success.

Is it that they bought lots of personal development CDs and books?

Some of them had never even heard of goal setting!!

Is it the quality of the support they receive from friends and family?

No, some were discouraged by friends or family for trying to change their current circumstances.

Is it that they were loved more as children?

A few of them were orphans and had a pretty miserable childhood.

Is it that they don’t watch TV or avoid reading the papers?

No, they read the newspapers, and watched television.

So, if none of these factors directly contributed to their success, how were these entrepreneurs all with different circumstances, able to achieve their dreams of creating wealth?

If you were to gather them all in a room and ask the question, “What is the secret to your success?”,their answers would be all different. But, if you looked a little closer at the answers, you would discover one key ingredient. It wouldn’t be obvious at first, but it would be very evident.

And that key ingredient would be fear.

Fear is an important part of success, and its fear that keeps so many of us from reaching our goals, or fulfilling our dreams.
Learning how to conquer your fears is a very big part of attracting the success into your life that seems to have been eluding you. It’s a key ingredient that entrepreneurs have to master on their path to success.

Given their varying backgrounds, entrepreneurs were pushed into action by the fear of not achieving their goals and the consequences of failure.

Having the Millionaire Mindset that successful entrepreneurs seem to attract to their businesses is available to anyone who is willing to master their fears.
