    Protecting Your Assets - Choosing the Right Electronic Security Solutions and Suppliers
    Your premises is likely to be protected by an intruder alarm with a personal attack option and CCTV may be in operation internally and externally. It is possible that you may have received advice from your local crime reduction police officer, a security consultant or even your insurance company. However, identifying your needs is only step one of the solution and it is important to ensure that you system meets industry standards.So how do you know an intruder alarm or CCTV system is fit for purpose? If it is a monitored intruder alarm, an essential for luxury goods retailers, will you choose one that is eligible for police response? Will the alarm activate when you want it to or will it regularly become a source of false alarms? The police will s
    When is the last time you worked on a day or evening that you had set aside to do something with your family and went to an appointment or party instead? How did you feel when you were there? Did you feel a little angry for letting the people who are most important in your life down? It's not a great feeling is it?

    One of the most important things I took into consideration when I was beginning my job in Direct Sales was that I needed something that I could work around my family and other obligations. It would be a lot different from what I was accustomed to which was working my family and other obligations around my job! This is what draws a lot of people into the Direct Selling business! Yet, there are so many consultants that are so afraid to set limits with others for fear of losing business if they don't work when the customer or hostess wants that it absolutely amazes me!

    I consistently held three to four parties a week for approximately 48 weeks of the year (4 weeks vacation wasn't bad) for over 22 years! Yet I never worked a day or evening that I didn't want to. Every party I booked was on a date that I had pre-selected and one that fit into my schedule. You too can set yourself free when you take back control. Here are some of the ways I kept in control.

    1. Identify how many times per week you want to go out for your business. Remember, even if this is your part-time business you still need to leave the house once in awhile and go to work! If you are holding parties the average party takes approximately three hours plus some time at home for preparation and closing the party. A part-time consultant should be holding a minimum of two parties per week and a full time consultant should be holding three to four parties per week. (Would you believe full time with four parties is actually only 12-16 hours per week?) Makes you wonder, doesn't it?

    2. Identify the days of the week that you want to go out to do your business. For example, my goal was to work my business on Monday through Thursday evenings. I took Friday, Saturday and Sunday off for myself and family. If you attend church on Wednesday evening, mark off every Wednesday on your calendar and work around them.

    3. Each month schedule in all of your business meetings as well as any of your family's events that you want (and need) to attend. If your upline has a monthly meeting it is your responsibility (if you want to be successful) to be there if you want the information. If your daughter has a dance recital mark off that date on your calendar.

    4. Book your parties one week at a time, beginning with your first available week on your calendar. It makes no sense to book parties four weeks away when you still have dates available that are two and three weeks away. List these dates on your "Open Date Card" (available in "It's a Party Out There - Keeping the Fun and Profit in Direct Selling" Workbook) For info on Workbook check out the website listed below.

    Working From Home - Legit at Home Business!
    Are you tired of all the work at home gimmicks? So was I. I was getting tired of doing the same routine everyday. I was really tired of having someone else raising my son for me. I missed out on alot things that I should have been there for. But I was not, because I had pulled a double shift that night or someone did not show up so I covered for them at the job. I was not happy with my life and the way things were going.To be totally honest, I too thought all Home Based Businesses were scams. I would never give them the time of day until my life really started getting out of control. I found myself going to college, working, and having not one bit of free time with my son. Until now. I went on the internet, did some research and found a grea

    Why In The World Would You Hire A Freelance Writer?
    If you're a business owner, there are many reasons to hire a freelance writer: One very significant reason is that your staff doesn't have the necessary skill set to handle all of the needs of your business, and the workload isn't heavy enough to hire a full-time employee. The fact of the matter is, that freelance writers are used by businesses of all sizes for everything from improving web content to drawing up contracts.How Can A Freelance Writer Help Your Business?Typically a business will hire a freelance writer when it comes time to write all the marketing material and internal company material that no one paid any attention to when the business was starting out. Other Businesses use them to create, modify and revitalize their written ma

    Benefits of Defending Yourself with a Pepper Spray
    Pepper spray is an inflammatory agent which is used to inflame the eyes and cause breathing difficulties, which in turn can cause a person who is attacking you to be put into a position where they are unable to cause any damage to you or your property. When a person is sprayed their eyes will literally clamp shut meaning they cannot see at all. If the person is standing, they will immediately be brought to their knees in a coughing fit and will be left with the ability to breath only small amounts of air, enough so that it is uncomfortable, but not restricted so much that it is life threatening.Although the effects of pepper spray depend on the strength of the spray, you can generally expect to disable your attacker for around 30 minutes, which should

    How About Printing Your Own Business Cards?
    Business cards do not have to be boring. In fact, the more exciting and unique your business card is the more likely it is to be noticed. Since fifteenth century China business cards have been used as a tool for marketing, advertising and promotion.Although there is no definition for combined phrase “business card” in Webster's or Oxford's Dictionary there is a general explanation for the word “card”, which is defined as (a) thick, stiff paper or thin cardboard, (b) a piece of card for writing on, especially a postcard or greetings card, and (c) a business card or visiting card. From that definition we know that business cards are simply "an imprinted advertising message of one's name and type of business they are engaged, on small pieces of stiff p

List these dates on your "Open Date Card" (available in "It's a Party Out There - Keeping the Fun and Profit in Direct Selling" Workbook) For info on Workbook check out the website listed below. Make sure you only list dates for first available week, Avoid listing dates from two or three weeks on the same side of the card!!! Most people who are booking will look at the dates and select the date that is the furthest away instead of the closest. When you list dates one week at a time you take control of your calendar. Here's an example: Susie wants to work on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings and she would like to do three parties per week. Currently she has parties for August 2, 3, 5, and 12. Susie's Open Date Card should have Monday, August 9'th and Tuesday, August 10'th on the front side and on the back side she should list; Monday, August 16'th, Tuesday, August 17'th and Thursday, August 19'th. If she really wants to book on the 9'th and 10'th she could have a special bonus available to Hostesses who select her "special dates".

    5. If you notice that you are developing a pattern of working one or two weeks and then having no parties for a week or two and then working again you need to get back on track and avoid booking parties too far away. Don't forget the Hostesses enthusiasm usually wanes the further out you book her party. Book her close to help maintain her enthusiasm!

    6. Don't list dates on your "Open Date Card" that you don't want to work and don't book on dates that are not on your card. If you don't want to work Friday's and you book a Friday party you can rest assured that everyone who books from that party will also want to have her party on a Friday. No exceptions! I don't care what contest you are working on, if you want to bring people into this business "to be their own boss and set their own hours" you need to be an example of what you preach. I've seen many "burnt out consultants" who could have avoided the "burn out" had they learned to take control. Don't forget...your family doesn't want to be put on the "back burner" while you are building your business. When you have scheduled time for your family give yourself to them!

    7. The easiest way to take control is in your "introduction" at your party. I used to begin like this, "Ladies, I love being in Direct Sales because I have a business that I can work around my family and other obligations. I work Monday through Thursday evening and I save the weekends for my family, because they are my number one priority." Very rarely did anyone ever ask me for a weekend party but if they did, I re-stated the above sentence and told them I would be happy to do a party on a Monday through Thursday and if they absolutely had to have a weekend I would try to find another consultant. Most consultants would cringe here for fear of losing the booking; however, remember if you have done your job well, and built a relationship with the people at the party, they want you to be the consultant at their party and they will hold the party on your terms.
