This guy has&#160;NO FEAR.&#160;He doesn&#8217;t give a, you know what, of what his friends think about him. That&#8217;s a leader.

<p>This guy has&nbsp;<strong>NO FEAR</strong>.&nbsp;He doesn&#8217;t give a, you know what, of what his friends think about him. <strong>That&#8217;s a leader.</strong></p>
<p>You have to see your <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>home based business</strong></span> in the same method. What does it matter what people think about you doing something different? Something that doesn&#8217;t require the status quo decisions. After all, your bills say your name, not your friends. Just saying.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m often reminded that your lifestyle, friendship, happiness and finances are the average of the 5 people you hang out with. So choose your friends wisely. I remember hanging out with a guy growing up who would always talk about rebellious activities. Things that wouldn&#8217;t serve me well and I&#8217;d join in the conversations because that is what I thought was correct. It was actually hurting me mentally. I didn&#8217;t realize that your mind was so powerful it can completely change your behavior and those around you.</p>
<p>Your <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>home based business </strong></span>is about your self improvement. It&#8217;s not just about finances, it&#8217;s about time. Time with the person you are scared of facing most in the mirror.&nbsp;<strong>YOU</strong>. You are the person that blocks <strong>You</strong>. Until you can break the cycle of having to rely on someone else to make you happy, you will not survive hanging out with you. You see, I realize that leadership is investing in yourself to improve yourself to then go and duplicate. The problem I see with a few folks I come in contact with is that they&#8217;re scared of investing in themselves to improve.&nbsp;The<strong> wussy factor</strong> kicks in.</p>
<p><strong>How do you get there?</strong>&nbsp;Personal development, coaching and more personal development. Once you built a solid mind, nothing can stop the machine inside you and you will be dancing and duplicating. Make it your day. Your time to prosper. Build that<strong> home based business</strong> that you invested in so you can bring yourself and your spouse home to spend time with each other. After all, you did marry your spouse and not your boss. Get your priorities in line and stop being a wussy and dance like nobody is watching.</p>
<p>To the top,</p>

<p>P.S. If you&#8217;re reading this and don&#8217;t have a <strong>home based business</strong>. Consider that I did the investigation for 2 months shopping around 11 different companies until I found a company that was solid, simple, culture, internet marketing approved, and wife approved.

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h1><span style="color: #000000;">Home Based Business Leads</span></h1>
<p>I remember when I first started my <em><strong><a href=" http://cesarramirez.com/home-based-business-leads/">Home Based Business</a></strong></em> I was looking for red hot targeted <strong>leads</strong>. If you found this page through a search engine of some sort, it&#8217;s because you are looking for the same constant magic source for Home Based Business Leads. So I am here to give it to you. Read this article closely for I believe if you find this information useful, you will be able to forward it and teach your team (even the dead soldiers on your team).</p>
<p><a href="http://cesarramirez.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/LeadGenerationSystem.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1149 alignright" title="LeadGenerationSystem" src="http://cesarramirez.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/LeadGenerationSystem.jpg" alt="" width="430" height="332" /></a></p>
<p>Often times when I have a new person running on my team, I teach them &#8220;the system&#8221; of what the company teaches because it&#8217;s a proven system. It duplicates fast and it&#8217;s little to no cost on their budget because of the warm market relationship they have built over the years.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, this may dry out for some and for others it&#8217;s not a market they wish to tap. As a matter of fact, I stop going down that rabbit hole because I personally like to build new relationships and keep the old ones (if we serve each other.)</p>
<p>Bottom line is, if you want your business to grow, you have to keep on moving forward and realize that <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong>Home Based Business Leads</strong></em></span> are a game of numbers. Should you treat everyone like they&#8217;re a number? The answer is well you give everyone a chance to make a decision for themselves, but you filter them out using the system to the right. You see, lots of folks aren&#8217;t educated on the power of marketing. I&#8217;m a numbers guy.</p>
<p>I traditionally teach people that  numbers is the name of the game when it comes to your <em><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>home based business leads</strong></span><strong> </strong></em>generation. So let&#8217;s look at the concept here. Marketing starts from the left and drops down to a funnel into a capture page. As you see the funnel gets smaller because your number of responses out of 10 people is usually about 3 (30%). Even the great <strong>Jim Rohn</strong> said his best day was to talk to 10 people he&#8217;d get 3 in his business. So you&#8217;re right on track if that is your percentage of response.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re starting on a small budget when it comes to marketing (meaning under $500) to market your business, I&#8217;d say the two primary methods to focus on generating your <strong>home based business leads</strong> are organic searches (<a href="http://www.CesarRamirez.com/x">blogging</a>) and <strong><a href="http://www.CraigslistAdPower.com">Craigslist Marketing</a> &#8211; </strong>If you currently don&#8217;t have a &#8220;custom built&#8221; capture page (away from your primary company), then I suggest you consider using a <strong><a href="http://www.CesarRamirez.com/X" target="_blank">funded proposal system  like this</a> </strong>and stay away from Craigslist (free marketing)<strong>. </strong>Meaning that whether someone joins your primary business or not, you are becoming the expert by referring them to a system that generates them <em><strong><a href="http://www.CesarRamirz.com/x">Home Based Business Leads</a> </strong></em>and they get to know you overtime through your autoresponders.</p>
<p>Three things happen if you follow this method. You are branding yourself through these email autoresponders. Second you have a lead that can potentially join you in your primary business in the near future. Finally, you are generating an income residually because they are using your referral funded system (typically pays faster then your primary). Does that make sense?</p>
<p>Feel free to comment below and ask further questions on this process.</p>

So I was actually hammered by all my online internet marketing friends that are very close to me to just &#8220;GET IN&#8221; and be involved with <a href="http://CesarRamirez.com/empowernetwork" target="_blank">David Wood and David Sharpe&#8217;s Empower Network</a>. I was like, jeez! I&#8217;m already laser focused on <a href="http://promo8.bodybyvi.com" target="_blank">Visalus Sciences</a> guys and girls. I don&#8217;t need anything else on my plate. I got so tired of hearing about it, I joined. So long story short, I saw the herd going over there based on traffic stats. In less than a month they paid out 100% commissions in over $700,000.  I&#8217;m going to  show you a cool Alexa snapshot as of this morning.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.cesarramirez.com/empowernetwork" target="_blank"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1119" title="Screen Shot 2011-11-16 at 8.11.42 AM" src="http://cesarramirez.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Screen-Shot-2011-11-16-at-8.11.42-AM.png" alt="" width="684" height="597" /></a></p>
<p>Now I&#8217;m not the sharpest tool in the shed, but at least I&#8217;m in the shed <img src='http://cesarramirez.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> . That&#8217;s a huge spike in traffic. So what&#8217;s the deal with them and should you get involved?</p>
<p>First of all, you usually want to follow someone with <strong>Integrity</strong>. I know David Wood personally and even though him and I haven&#8217;t been in the same organization, I have followed his genius marketing tactics. He went from &#8220;living in a van down by the river&#8221; (literally but it was a beach) to now living in a 4,000 square foot home in the beautiful mountains of Costa Rica. In less than 6 months he made a killing just blogging and created a name for himself.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.CesarRamirez.com/EmpowerNetwork"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1117" title="VANMAN_CL" src="http://cesarramirez.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/VANMAN_CL.gif" alt="" width="504" height="432" /></a><strong>What&#8217;s blogging</strong>? Writing about ANYTHING you want that you have a <strong>passion</strong> for &#8211;&gt; Attraction Marketing&#8217;s finest niche. If you understand that I practice, teach, and advise people to do this one thing, then you&#8217;ll have a following. It&#8217;s not instant, but compounded over time, you will be that much more SEO (Search Engine Optimized) on the internet.  Additionally, you are allowing your readers to share your content with those that are your friends on all major social media sites. That&#8217;s it! Simple as that.</p>
<p><strong>Can&#8217;t I just use my own blog site? </strong>Sure you can buy a domain $12 per year and to host it $5-$15 a month for a good hosting company with great bandwidth, then spend countless hours setting it all up. Then you can spend hours + more $ marketing it = confusion.</p>
<p>Or you can <a href="http://www.CesarRamirez.com/EmpowerNetwork" target="_blank">click here</a> and have one setup for you that has JUICY TRAFFIC already marketing for you. You will have the support of myself and a community of internet super junkie marketers assisting you in blogging about whatever you want! The funnel you see there is given to you as well and I have created the automatic AWEBER autoresponders with Global fields (so you only input your data, and you&#8217;re done)</p>
<p>It doesn&#8217;t stop there. The Davids have made an awesome Funded Proposal of whether someone joins your current MLM/Network Marketing or not to use this system to generate daily 100% commissions deposited into your bank account either via Paypal or a Merchant Account. Caution: Paypal can be funny about internet marketers sometimes.</p>
<p><strong>Can I write about my brick and mortar business?</strong> Yes</p>
<p><strong>Can I write about my personal development?</strong> Yes</p>

I stumbled across an article while surfing through <a href="http://Entrepreneur.com" class="autohyperlink" title="http://Entrepreneur.com" target="_blank">Entrepreneur.com</a>, so they deserve the credit for these questions. The title of the post was “How to Start a Retail Business.” Ask yourself in an honest assessment if you are truly fit for Entrepreneurship. These questions are related to starting a retail business, but the same still applies.</p>
<p>1. Are you good at multitasking? In your own business, you have to be willing and able to do everything yourself. When you work for someone else, you are usually responsible for just one thing and have limited control. You are supported by others with expertise or experience in different roles and functions. In retail, every day can be a stretch, as you encounter customers, employees, vendors and landlords. You can’t say, “That’s not my job.” It’s all yours.</p>
<p>2. What is your risk tolerance? In a startup retail business, you worry about being in the right place at the right time with the right goods and services for the right people at the right price. Do you adjust quickly to unplanned events or prefer more predictable, organized projects? Do you see risk as a threat or an opportunity?</p>
<p>3. Do you count on a paycheck? New business owners can rarely count on a regular paycheck. Startups frequently require more capital than planned. Something’s bound to go wrong or change even though everything is penciled out in your plan. If you break out in a cold sweat if you aren’t paid on the same day every month, you may want to rethink going out on your own. Most of the money you make will go right back into inventory and other costs of doing business.</p>
<p>4. Are you a self-starter and comfortable being alone? Or do you draw your energy from being around others and count on colleagues for support and advice? In your own business, you must lead, knowing what to do and when to do it, and be fully accountable for everything that happens. The buck stops with you. Sometimes that’s a lonely place.</p>
<p>5. Do you value predictability or prize diversity? Not only are there laws against discrimination in hiring and business practices, but America is a multicultural society. When you open your store or service company, you will be interacting with a wide spectrum of customers, vendors, advisors and employees. Retailers need to be people-oriented, flexible and good-natured. Can you manage conflict, see things from others’ point of view, and cater to their taste, not yours?</p>
<p>I can tell you, as an entrepreneur myself, these are right on the money. So if you are someone who is thinking about starting a business, whether a home based business or brick and mortar, make a very honest assessment of yourself and your abilities. Desire can only take you so far before you actually have to start thinking and acting like an an entrepreneur.</p>
