Grow you business like a garden
Just as a gardener prepares his garden beds by tilling, testing
the soil, fertilizing, watering and preparing it for his seeds.
So must the home business person also prepare his business bed.
Do your research on the business you are interested in. Know
what they offer, how they pay, what you can expect. However you
need to make sure that you do not over fertilize on the endless
amount of information. Just know that you, like the gardener
will always need to re-test and get more information. Over
fertilizing to start with will leave you in confusion and unable
to differentiate the best of what you have. Planting seed: Now
is when the tomatoes and peppers are started inside. And it is
also when you put out information to those that you know
personally. This is not really getting the plants in the ground
but it is the best way to have a fine harvest. Just like the
fact that the tomatoes take so much longer and so need to be
started ahead of time so will most of the contacts that you hit
at this time. Most of them will want to wait and see how you
really do before they jump on board. But as time goes by they
will grow. Always remember that even if they do not think much
of prospect to start with everyone with time can come around.
Realize that the tomato plants produce more fruit in the long
run then do some of the fast growers. Now the gardener lines his
rows and plots out what seed to put where. He knows that
radishes grow fast and so he mixes them into the same row as the
slow growing carrots. I am talking of gardeners not farmers that
plant whole fields of one crop. Gardeners of any kind plant more
then one type of plant. Flower gardeners may plant a rose bed,
but they have different varieties of roses. So must the home
business have more then one venue. This way you have more then
one source to help bring in the income. Choose to start with
business that has an auto responder (automatic sprinkler system)
with it, this will save you much time for yourself and your
family. If you can find one that has advertising included for a
time it will save you a small fortune in that area. Defiantly
find one that has training if you are new to the game (step by
step instructions at this point will save you a lot of money and
headaches). Packaged together you can reap more from your
investment faster. As your shoots start to grow you will want to
put a fence around them to protect them from pests, I have a lot
of rabbits and snakes here. For my business this part is not
letting people turn me aside from my goal. My business plant may
not yet have been what I wanted it to be but I would not let
friends and family tell me that since I didn't get rich
overnight or in the first week or month that it was doomed a
failure. Protect what you have invested your time and money into
and it will keep growing and you will have that harvest that you
are seeking. If someone tries to tell you that you can get rich
really fast without working or putting out any money, look out
it may be illegal. Time to do a partial harvest and weed and
replant. Lettuce, spinach and radishes have an early harvest.
But it is a small harvest because no gardener will plant much of
this crop because they do not keep for long, and no one wants to
watch their efforts go in the trash can. So you are starting to
reap some rewards. Now weed out the dead ends that seem to be in
the way and keeping you from your greatest harvest. The gardener
will now replant where he has harvested so that he can get more
out of the bare area. Sometimes he will replant the same type
plant and sometimes something different depending on the
research he knows about his garden. You to must replace the dead
ends that you have weeded out. Maybe it is just changing from
one Nutritional program to one that has a new product and so
your chances are better with it. Or maybe you will need to go in
a totally new direction, only you can by research know what is
best for you at this point. The rewards are now yours. Keep
weeding and harvesting, sometimes it takes months to see the
full potential of your business garden. You may at times even
think that the weeds far outweigh the harvestable plants, but as
you keep working you will see that it isn't as bad as you
thought. Just believe in yourself and the work that you have put
forth and keep growing. I will not try to tell you that it will
be easy. Nothing worth having is as easy as someone else makes
it seem. All gardens and businesses take time and effort and
downright work to see the end harvest. That doesn't mean that
you won't reap some really good harvests in the middle but the
big harvest takes time to reach. Be patient and make it fun to
learn and grow your business you will not regret it. Just as a
garden has expenses like the seed, water, a rake, hoe, shovel.
So will the business garden. Never fall for something that says
it will never cost you anything to grow your business, It is a
Lie. Some expenses will be small, some larger. Just remember
though that it can be done slow. And you can start with doing
some things that are not to expensive. You do not have to be the
first ad on Google your first week out. If you have the money
for that then by all means do so, but if not take your time and
grow your business to that point. Upgrading from free services
to the pay services is absolutely great, but don't end up
homeless doing it to soon. You can take your time and reap just
as great a harvest. Just keep growing forward and you will grow
to where everything just flows and is beautiful to you. You want
to reached your harvest without having to buy the produce
section of the local wal-mart to make it look like you got
there. Good Luck and Happy Growing
