Work at Home Advice

Why do most work at home businesses fail? Is it a lack of will power or desire? Is it a lack of knowledge of "business" or just the business that you're involved with? What about a burning desire to succeed, or the willingness to be coached? Do any of the items listed above have anything to do with the high rate of work at home failures?

I believe all of the items listed above can be the downfall of any home business. However, the one factor I believe that caused the most failures in work at home businesses is the failure to listen. Yes, you read that correctly, the failure to listen. You see the majority of people love to talk. They talk about themselves; they talk about their family; they talk about their business; they talk abut their products; and they talk about just about everything else that involves themselves.

In all actuality, what these people are doing is selling. What are they selling? They are selling themselves, their business, and their products. And you know what? Most people hate to be sold! People love to buy, but they hate to be sold. So, if you want to become successful with your work at home business, ask questions and listen.

There is a lot of wisdom in the previous paragraph, because very few people ask questions and then stop to listen to the other person's answer. However, if you find a successful work at home business owner I can almost guarantee you that that person is very good listener.

I received the following excerpt in an email this morning. I'd like to share it with you.

Will You Stop Talking Long Enough To Listen?

Have you ever been in the instance where you simply could not wait to blurt out what you wanted to say?

Have you ever wished you had said what you had said?

How many times have you gotten into an argument with someone, when neither person was listening to the other person?

Have you ever been in a discussion with someone, only to discover a little later, that both of you were actually saying the same thing?

"Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so"

There is a big difference between hearing and listening

Listening involves 3 processes:

1. Interpret: This is where you begin to take in the information and assess it. As you hear the information you begin to make judgments on what you hear. You begin to either agree or disagree on the information.
2. Evaluate: This is when you begin to determine what you will do with the information. Is it useful or not useful? How will you find the information if you find it useful?
3. React: This is where you have actually evaluated the information, and you have made a full determination of what you think about it. This is the most challenging of the 3 processes; because it is so much better to respond than to react.

There are 4 basic types of communication which people have:

1. Phatic: This is the "getting to know you" or the "building of relationships" kind of talk.
2. Cathartic: This is the release of "pent-up emotion" kind of talking. This is the spilling of emotional information, troubles, concerns, etc.
3. Informative: This is the sharing of information, ideas, or data.
4. Persuasive: This is used to reinforce information or ideas, or to change attitudes to produce a specific action.

"Our listening habits are not the result of training, but rather the lack of it"

Studies have shown that we spend about 45% of our waking hours listening.

It is interesting that we spend almost half of each day listening, yet it is one
of the least taught communication skills.
Tests have shown that immediately after hearing a 10-minute lecture, which was properly heard and understood:

• Only one half of the information was retained
• After 48 hours, only 25% is retained

This means that of all things listened to, only 25% will be understood and retained for any real time period.

Good listening habits can be taught, yet they seldom are.

Learn how to listen, and your life will take on great new meaning.

That email, courtesy of the fine folks at Help End Hunger Now, is great for any line of business. If you deal with people on a daily basis you need to know when to talk, when to ask questions, and when to listen. If you do not now how to listen, learn! Yes, you can learn how to listen, and I believe it is necessary to succeed in any business, especially a work at home business. Why? I mentioned it before: "Most people hate to be sold!" On the other hand, most people love to buy.

If your work at home business can get a person out of debt, or can make a person some extra money so they can purchase that new car or home, they will buy into your business. However, do not try to sell them, but rather ask the right questions, and then listen to their answers. When they give you their answer, ask another question, and once again, listen to their answer.

It may take some time to get used to this process; but, if you are persistent and you learn the skill of listening, your chances of becoming successful with your work at home business will greatly increase. If you learn the skill of listening together with asking the right questions, I believe you will be successful.

Work at Home Business

From time to time people ask me what I do. Taking the low road, I usually say I'm a web designer and SEO strategist, even tough I love my TriVita business. So why would I not tell them about TriVita, and that I'm in a network marketing business? Like so many of us, I believe it's the fear of rejection. The fear of loosing a friend, or being accused of working some kind of a pyramid scheme. Whatever the case, bugging my friends to join me in business has never been a passion of mine.

So many individuals that have a work at home business bug their friends to death about joining them. I've seen plenty of relationships destroyed over network marketing, and I'm not about to join that group. However, after reading an article on Google, I may have to change my mind. Below is an excerpt of the article, which can be read in its entirety by going to, http://www.scamxposer.com/trivita-business-opportunity-reviews.html.

...How refreshing!

It took almost 50 years, but there actually is 1 Network Marketing business (well, Trivita is actually called "Cooperative Marketing") that has FINALLY figured it out!

ALL of the problems people have ever had with network marketing - MLM absolutely do NOT exist here!

You know... SIMPLE things like "where do I find a constant source of people hungry for the products?" -or- "I don't like talking to friends & family about my businesses" -or- "" can't figure out how to recruit anyone... or don't like recruiting period" -or- "I don't want to stock products at home" -or- "I never see long term residual income because 95% of my downline quits every year" -or- ... (fill in the blank with what you hate most about MLM)

With Trivita, you can build a consistent, reliable & huge RESIDUAL income entirely from home WITHOUT having to bug friends and family or have any sales or marketing skills whatsoever.

Not only is this a legitimate, highly profitable home based Internet business, but it is now my #1 recommended business opportunity... and the ONLY network marketing business that I currently recommend... and will probably EVER recommend!

WOW!!! That's some statement regarding TriVita, wouldn't you agree? I would have to say that TriVita has figured out the network marketing industry. They have created a work at home business model that cannot be beat. It's the only home business opportunity where you don't have to bug your family and friends. However, you can if you really want to show someone how to create a genuine work at home business, and create long term residual income.

I've been working this business for just over two years, and all it has done is continue to grow. And I have one gentlmen in my upline that stopped working the business for 7-8 months, and came back to see the business has grown "exponentially." I don't think you can say that about many other network marketing businesses, of any at all. That is what TriVita is all about!

If you'd like to learn more about TriVita, call or email me. I'd love to share this terrific opportunity with you.

Sonoran Bloom Nopalea

I've been asked this question several time: "Are there any side effects and/or any known conflicts with prescription medication?"

Not being a healthcare professional, or a medical doctor, I cannot answer that question. However, from my research, I have yet to find a person suffering any side effects from drinking Sonoran Bloom Nopalea. I have also found that since Nopalea is an all natural product, there are no currently known side effects, on its own, and/or with prescription drugs.

DISCLAIMER: I an NOT a medical doctor or healthcare professional, nor to I portray myself as such. ALWAYS check with your family doctor or healthcare professional before taking any nutritional supplement.

In a recent TriVita Weekly Wellness Report newsletter, Brazos Minshew, TriVita's Chief Science Officer, answered the question, "Is it safe to take Nopalea with my medications?" this way:

"There are no known conflicts between Nopalea and medications. Nopalea contains natural ingredients and its main ingredient is derived from the fruit of the Nopal cactus (Opuntia ficus indica) from the Sonora Desert. It is low calorie and low carbohydrate, so it must be calculated as any other food in your total dietary intake of these macronutrients."

"Some of the older blood thinners are more easily adjusted if a person is not eating vegetables or fruit or drinking juices during the 'calibration' phase. Your doctor or pharmacist will give you specific instructions if this pertains to you."

"Always ask your health care team if you are in doubt or have questions. However, TriVita's Medical Advisory Board has examined Nopalea closely. In general, there are no known conflicts between Nopalea and medications."
