Empathy - Not Business Plans - Key to Your Home Based Business Success - Do You Have Empathy?

Tip! Balancing Home Business and Family.

EMPATHY is a Natural Talent, you were born with it and you will never loose it. It can be a blessing or a curse in a home based business. If you develop it, it can make you a Millionaire. Mary Kay, of Mary Kay cosmetics, did just that. If you have it, it is your most important key to a successful home based business. Business plans, cash flow projections, marketing analysis, etc. are skills that are needed in a home based business, but they can be learned from a workshops, courses or books. Your Natural Talent is what gives you the competitive edge.

This a the second in a series of articles describing the 34 Natural Talents that can give a home based business owner the “edge” in the market place. The purpose of this article is to help the home based business owner identify which Natural Talents they posses. The rest of the article will discuss what to do with the Natural Talent, once identified.

First, examine do you have EMPATHY as we define it. EMPATHY is: “A person that loves to relate. They can sense the emotions of those around them. They feel what others are feeling as though they were their own feelings. Intuitively, they are able to see through the other person’s eyes and share their perspective. They do not necessarily agree with each person’s perspective. They do not necessarily feel pity for each person’s predicament. That would be sympathy, not empathy. They do not necessarily condone the choices each person makes, but they do understand. They hear the unvoiced questions. They anticipate needs. When others cannot find the words, they seem to find the right words and the right tone. They help people find the right phrases to express their feelings. They help others give voice to their emotional life.

Tip! You will not be tired from standing on your feet all day, sore from lifting heavy boxes and shipments or any other labor associated with many jobs. With an at-home business, the heaviest thing you will need to lift is that of the rare occasion when computer equipment must be moved or checked.

Having EMPATHY is only one of the thirty-four Natural Talents that have been identified by the Gallup Poll organization. Gallup interviewed 2 million successful people, spent millions of dollars and recorded the results for 25 years to identify these natural 34 talents. Tax Moms has integrated these into and is sponsoring a FREE 9-week Experience called the “Be Financially Free with Ninergy - the Experience. The purpose of the Experience is to help home based business owners identify which of the 34 Natural Talents they possess and how to use them.

Your Natural Talent is where you start. Your next step is to encounter the money messages you receive throughout life. Your �Money Strategy’ is the inter-twining of your Natural Talents and your money messages. A person’s lack of understanding of their “Money Strategy,” not the product; search engines, business plan, or capitalization is the reason for business failure. This is the reason Tax Moms are sponsoring a FREE 9-week experience called the “Be Financially Free with Ninergy - the Experience.”

Each week for 9-weeks the participants will have the opportunity to take part in a chat, talk and video webcast-conference with exercises to help them to identify their Natural Talents and how the money messages effects their “Money Strategy.” At the end of 9-weeks they will understand how their “Money Strategy” can cause their failure or lead to their success. It is now their choice.

Tip! Be honest - You probably didn’t start your work-at-home career to climb the �corporate ladder� of your at-home business. Chances are that you started your business with the best of intentions � to be able to be at home with your children, to contribute financially to your family, or simply to have a little spending money of your own.

The 9-week tele-conference is free and does not promote any product, franchise, service or business, but provides a life changing experience about money. During the 9-weeks the participants have to spend 3.6 million dollars on anything their heart desires. For 9-weeks, the participants receive 2 money-emails a week. The first one is for $5000 and the last one is for a $1,000,000. Each week they have to spend their virtual money before the next money-email arrives.

PappaPC Computer Home Business Computer spyware and virus removal with free software. Real 150k home based business. Huge demand.

They will experience their “virtual dollars” turn into “real dollars” by focusing and purchasing every desire of their heart, and understanding their “Money Strategy.” The purpose of the 9-weeks is to change their “real world” money consciousness. It is not a just a webcast-conference, it is a real life Experience

Tip! Do something in your home business every day.

How do the Tax Moms know that a person’s “Money Strategy” is the secret to success? Since all Tax Moms have participated in this experience and since they prepare thousands of client’s tax returns, they see it over and over that it is not the product or the service that causes the success or failure, but the client’s Money Strategy.

Registration is limited to 500. There is no cost to participate in any part of the experience. The first money-email arrives on July 4, 2005, your Financial Independence Day.

If you cannot attend the webcast-conference, this is the first article in the discussion of the 34 Natural Talents. The next Natural Talent discussed will be ACHIEVER.

Tip! You must follow up with your prospects. This is without a doubt the most important factor in your success with any home business.

The Natural Talents definitions in this article are from the book “Now, Discover your Strengths” by Marcus Buckingham & Donald O. Clifton, Ph D. Tax Moms is not affiliated with the Gallup organization or the StrengthsFinder® group, nor certified by them.

Your Natural Talent is your most important asset. Business plans, cash flow projections, competitive analysis, etc. are needed, but these skills can be learned from workshops, courses and books. The second Natural Talent of 34 to be investigated is - EMPATHY.

Coralee LaFresnaye is the Vice President of Tax Moms. She handles the daily operations of a nationwide network of CPAs, IRS Enrolled Agents, and State Certified/Public Tax Preparers that work at home. She has been a Entrepreneur and Tax Professional for 34 years specializing in small businesses.

Anthony Robbins’ 12 Reasons Why People Don’t Get Wealthy

According to Wallace Wattles, in his popular wealth
treatise called the Science of Getting Rich, said that,
“There is a science of getting rich, and it is an exact
science, like algebra or arithmetic. There are certain laws
which govern the process of acquiring riches, and once
these laws are learned and obeyed by anyone, that person
will get rich with mathematical certainty.”

It is true. Those who make wealth know that it comes about
by application of simple rules and principles. Those who
don’t make wealth don’t know about these simple things, and
so they assume that wealth is a result of luck or pure
chance or something just as superstitious or silly.

Anthony Robbins is one of the top success coaches in the
world, having coached star sports players, heads of states
and Fortune 500 executives. In his Get The Edge program, he
listed down 12 specific reasons he has come to observe to
be the leading causes for most people’s lack of wealth.
Here they are:

1. They never decide and really define, very
specifically, what wealth means for them. The keyword here
is specifically. Can you imagine how hard it would be to
build a car or a plane without making a blueprint or sketch
drawings of it first? You have to know what your target is
before you go chasing after it.

2. They make wealth a moving target instead of a
fixed one (this is related to point one above). Once you
have your target, fix it. Don’t change it until you reach
it. You must accomplish each step, celebrate, and then set
course for a new step, a new target.

3. They define it in a way that seems unreachable.
You only achieve what you believe. No more, no less. So you
must make it believable for you. Set goals that will make
you move forward and stretch, but not too high that even
you yourself don’t believe you can. Take the biggest step
you believe you can, achieve it, then take the next biggest
you believe you can. This will build positive reinforcement
in your self-confidence as well.

4. They never start. Ok, this is obvious. If you
keep thinking about it forever, it will forever remain in
the thought level. You have to act! Start somewhere,
anywhere! Only after you start do you begin to get some
feedback which will help you plot your course better. The
aircraft has to first take off before it starts to adjust
course for its destination. You must start, somewhere,
anywhere, doesn’t matter, just start! Act!

5. They never make it a must. Let me explain what it
means to make it a must. It means marshalling all your
intent, your will, your direction, into one singular flow
that is directed towards your goal. All obstacles are
viewed as challenges to be overcome. You will meet
obstacles, and so expect it, but also expect to move
forward anyways. Use your obstacles to develop strength and
skills, don’t run away. Find out how to go past them. Find
out! There is always a way, always. And if your emotions
are acting against your desire, embrace them, learn what
they are, know yourself, but keep moving forward. Make it a
must, and it will happen. Guaranteed. You don’t know in how
many steps it will take, but you know it will happen.

6. They don’t have a realistic plan. If you want to
do something, find out how it is done from someone who has
done it before. Make a realistic plan. Copy from those who
have succeeded before you. But don’t throw away your
intuition. Your intuition is extremely powerful once you
learn how to listen to it with practice.

7. If they have a realistic plan, they never follow
through on the plan. Well, if you don’t follow the plan,
who will?

8. They give responsibility to others (”experts”)
instead of to themselves. This way, they never really learn
how to do it, and if there are failures they never learn
why the failures happened and so they are bound to repeat
them. It is a good idea to get advice, but do it yourself.
At least understand it yourself even if you will delegate
the actual doing.

9. They give up when they face challenges. Going
through the challenges is what has made people rich, not
giving up. Look, there are always challenges. So get used
to that. You will only get where you wish to get to if you
are willing to face the challenges along the path. All
challenges are opportunities dressed in work clothes,
remember that. After the challenge is over, you will
discover the amazing fruit it held for you.

10. They fail to conduct their lives as a business;
they never ensure that they make a profit year by year. Get
a personal finance package like Quicken or Microsoft Money.
you need to have budgets and cash flow statements for your
personal finances and your businesses. It is easy with
those software packages. If you don’t keep records and
track, you wont know when you are making or losing money
until it is embarrassingly too late.

11. They allow other people’s ideas to affect their
decisions unreasonably. There will always be people who
don’t believe in your way, or who are pessimistic, who try
to pull you down, or whatever. And they will sometimes be
your closest friends and family. You cannot change that -
they have a right to be who they are. It is OK. Allow them
their thoughts, don’t judge them for that, but don’t feel
obligated to accept their thoughts of follow their way.
Don’t allow other people, now or from the past,
unreasonably affect your decisions. Allow them their way,
and you live your way.

12. They don’t get quality coaching. This is
extremely important! Coaching is simply getting mentored by
someone who has succeeded wildly in the area of your
interest. Get coaching! Our education system hardly equips
us for real life, so don’t assume that because you went to
college you are properly equipped. Hardly. You need to keep
learning. The most successful people attend seminars, read
books, join mastermind groups and clubs, find mentors,
network, and even hire expensive personal coaches to make
sure they succeed.

How many of these reasons can you identify with? Well, now
that you see the reasons, you now can look at yourself and
make sure that you don’t follow ways that are known to not
lead to wealth. Follow what works and it will work. And
don’t forget to enjoy yourself along the way.
