Successful Home Business Ideas – The Relationships Effect

When it comes to successfully building your online home
business, relationships can pull you up or down, and here’s
how to take control!
Famous motivational speaker Jim Rohn used to teach:
We are the average of the five individuals we hang around with
the most. This assertion is based on the Law of Averages, and it
is extremely important for your success because it means as you
habitually relate with other folks, you will be influenced by
them for better or for worse; therefore it would be wise to
consciously select our relations based on our ultimate business
goal.

The first step of this process should be to assess current
relationships and how they might contribute to our progress or
detract from it. Next, to bring about a positive effect from
your associations, some drastic decisions may have to be
made; if you don’t, you will inevitably experience the
opposite. Moreover, when you choose to connect with the right
type of people, there will be much to learn from them; therefore,
it is necessary to be open to new ideas.

The Right Kind of People Move You Forward

Choose right and your relationships will be like fuel to help
you get to where you want. You must have a well-defined
mindset based on what you want to accomplish, and decidedly
choose to relate with folks who are already there, as well as
those heading in the same direction and further along than you.
It would not take very long to find these people are positive
thinkers and action-takers. These are precisely the kind you
need to associate with, since they share similar aspirations as
you and understand what it takes to achieve them. They will
inspire you, challenge you, and energize your dreams and
aspirations. Those who are well advanced will display good
leadership skills, others, like you, will be underway.
Nevertheless, relationships are a two-way street, so feel free to
share your own ideas, but, do not try to reinvent the wheel.
Since your purpose is to learn as much as possible, you need to
have a humble learner attitude, in order to tip the scale in your
favor. Allow yourself to be led by these likeminded individuals
and little by little you will be molded into their traits. These
selected few are your lifters!

Set Aside the Detractors

It shouldn’t be difficult to identify who is likely to be holding
back your progress. Detractors are like a heavy weight pulling
you down, therefore it is necessary to deal with them
appropriately. Realize anyone with a negative opinion of your
plans will take away the drive and enthusiasm needed to
succeed. Sadly, this can include your own family and close
friends. When it comes to family, they may be acting out of
ignorance, trying to keep you from a possible fall, or simply
influencing you according to what they think is best. Family is
important, consequently, you should not disconnect from them
or drive them out of your life; simply and kindly keep them out
of your business. As far as friends is concerned, you might have
to be a bit more drastic, discern who is really your friend, and
ditch the rest. For example, suppose you frequently hang out
with some friends who work a regular 9-5 schedule, get together
to play pool or get a drink at least a couple of nights a week,
and are always looking forward to the weekend to have fun at
the ocean, dancing or whatever. Not that there is anything
wrong with entertainment within measure, but, what would
happen if you told them you plan to build an online business
which will allow you to fire your boss, get rich and live life on
your terms?
Most likely they will say you are crazy, just dreaming, and
maybe even scoff at the idea. This would be at the very least
discouraging, and depending on your character it might even
tear you down badly. Either due to jealousy or ignorance, these
folks do not want you to succeed because it would prove they
are losers going nowhere fast. As author Cynthia Occelli says:
“When people seek to undermine your dreams, predict your
doom, or criticize you, remember, they’re telling you their
story, not yours.” Besides, your buddies will pull you their way
when you really need to be focusing on your goals!

Join a Successful Community

An online group of people who are knowledgeable on your
chosen line of work and willing to help, is an excellent way to
instantly improve your business circle. Note I am not talking
about the endless number of social groups on the web, where
folks are either wasting time sharing nonsense or fishing for
prospects; these would only distract you and actually rob you of
valuable time. The right kind of community allows you to
cultivate relationships with likeminded individuals whose
experience would contribute to your progress. In it you will find
positive people, who are go-getters, whom you can learn from,
and with whom you can exchange ideas with – what is known as
Master Minding. Typically this type of environment is found
where members receive incentives for being active participants
and helping others. I have personally found these advantages at
the Wealthy Affiliate support forum. It is the prime example of
a social business community one can rely on to be on your side
if you ever need any help. Here are some of the benefits you can
enjoy as a member of this awesome community:

• Asking any questions you may have
• Getting help defining your direction
• Learning from other members postings
• Interacting with well advanced folks
• Getting response on your ideas
• Comments and feedback on your projects
• Receiving incentives for participating and helping others
