My hearts desire has always been to stay at home with my kids but not to stay at home and do nothing. I like being busy and enjoy being able to contribute to my family financially. That being said I’ve tried a lot of things before I found something that actually works to make money from home.
Making Money From Home
Maybe you love your job but you are looking for something with more flexible hours or maybe you can’t stand your job and it’s time for a change.
In order to succeed working from home a person really has to want it. It takes discipline and willpower to make office hours and stick with them. Being self motivated is key but for me the benefits of being my own boss, setting my own hours and taking vacation when I want, make it all worth it.
Know your goals and set out to achieve them! Dreams can be made possible but you have to take that first step.
Ready to work from home? Here are a few things to keep in mind:
The only way to not succeed is to quit. Everything good is worth fighting for. When the going gets hard, remember your goals and keep pushing forward even if it’s just one step at a time.
Slow and steady does not always win the race. More often than not success is attributed to the person who wanted it more, the person who put in the time because they believed in the end result.
And one last thing…
You can’t believe in failure — Instead it’s about closing chapters, learning from them and moving on to the next. Each chapter gets us closer to where one day we dream to be, it’s all about the journey. If we don’t start somewhere we’ll never get anywhere.
At this point I bet you have some questions…
Your Questions Answered:
Is it possible to make money at home? Absolutely! I’ve been averaging more each month working from home part-time than I ever did working an out of the house full-time. I don’t say that to boast, I say that so you know it’s possible!
How long will it take? This is completely up to you. If you try the slow and steady method it’s probably going to take you a while. If your ambitious and determined it could be as short as a couple of months.
How do you make money from home? Great question! There are a lot of possibilities out there but it’s important to find one that fits you well and that has a track record for success.
You can start a photography business, or try starting a blog {Yes you can make money blogging! You can read how to start one here!}. But the one I am going to talk about the most is the one I least expected and took me longest to find, one that has a track record of working and not just for one or two people.
Making Money Sharing Essential Oils
I’ve been with a lot of different multi level marketing companies. Before I fell in love with essential oils, I swore I would never join another one because I hadn’t seen the results I was wanting. I was putting in the work but not seeing the return. I closed those chapters because I knew there was something bigger and better out there for me. Little did I know, at the time, that the problem wasn’t network marketing it was that I was missing 2 key things.
In order to succeed with a network marketing business you have to:
- Believe in the product.
- Get on the right team.
#1 Essential oil are so easy to share because they have truly changed our life. Essential oils work rapidly and are incredibly effective. They work on the root cause of health concerns and prevention and not mere symptom management.
#2 is huge you guys — just like in anything else, having the right people around you will make or break your business career.
Those who choose to build with us, have one huge benefit — they are not in it alone. We make it our top priority to mentor, educate and support each person on our team. I see my team as my second family.
3 Ways to work an essential oil bussiness:
1. Pay for your oils —
- Someone who wants to share like this just wants to pay for their oils. They are casually sharing with friends & family. Over several months they will get to the point where they are paying for their oils
2. Supplement income —
- Someone who wants to build like this is someone who wants to make anywhere between 1-4 thousand a month.
- They would need to commit to 3-4 hours a week.
- Over time they will get to a point where they are making this income.
3. Replace your income —
- Someone who wants to build like this wants to make anywhere between 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 thousand dollars a month.
- They would need to commit to 20+ hours a week.
- This person would need to order $100 ea. month. You would need to have a book to educated yourself with.
- A person like this need to find 3 builders for their team. And you have to have written goals!
