A Watkins New Year

Posted in Watkins Business by Eldon on December 31st, 2006
Tonight, I am thankful for everyone in my Watkins group. I have been fortunate to meet and work with some really great people. As 2007 rolls in, I have set new goals for my Watkins business that will take it to the top. I have come as far as I have, due to the efforts of many people in my group who are working hard to build their own Watkins businesses. Without the hard working members of my group, I wouldn't have the success I've enjoyed. To everyone in Watkins, and to those in any other network marketing or home-based business, I wish you the very best in 2007. I know you are working your business to achieve personal or financial ...

Important Sponsoring Tip for Network Marketers

Posted in Watkins Business by Eldon on December 30th, 2006
We as network marketers can get so caught up in the benefits of our business opportunity that we neglect to consider that our prospects are individuals with unique goals and dreams. We need to remember to focus on our prospects and find out what they are looking for, before we try to dazzle them with all the wonderful benefits of our business opportunity. Here is an important tip to keep in mind when talking to your prospective network marketing associates. Listen carefully and find out what your prospect wants. Some will want just a little extra money each month, others will want a full-time income to replace a job they absolutely hate. Your job is to understand what your prospect wants, and ...

Setting Income Goals For Your Home Business

Posted in Watkins Business by Eldon on December 28th, 2006
Deciding what you really want from your home business, and setting income goals to match, is critical to your success. Anyone who starts a homebased business does so with the intention of making some money. A key to success is knowing just how much you want or need to make, and building a plan to achieve that success. Following are three quick tips that will help. 1) Define your income goals clearly. A common mistake that home based business entrepreneurs make is creating targets that are too broad. For example, "I want to make some extra money to help pay expenses". This is too broad, and much too vague. It is better to say "I want to make $1000 per month ...

Watkins Grapeseed Oils

Posted in Watkins Business by Eldon on December 27th, 2006
Grapeseed oil, produced and sold in Europe for many years, is enjoying a substantial increase in usage in North America. In France, grapeseed oil is sold not only as a cooking oil, but also as a remedy for high cholesterol. Grapeseed oil is one of the only foods shown to not only lower LDL (bad) cholesterol but to also increase HDL (good) cholesterol. This gives grapeseed oil a distinct advantage over other oils. Watkins Grapeseed Oil is: - Delicious! Unlike many other oils, grapeseed oil has a neutral and light flavor. - Versatile! Use as a dipping oil, with pastas, on salads, and anywhere else you would use cooking oil. - Low in Saturated Fat! At 8%, Watkins Grapeseed Oil has only half ...

Why New Year Resolutions Usually Fail

Posted in Watkins Business by Eldon on December 26th, 2006
Home based business people, like many others, will make various resolutions around the New Year. Some of these will be personal goals (quit smoking, lose weight, and so forth). Others will be business and income goals like "make more money in 2007". Today, I want to discuss why personal goals often fail. Over the next few days, I'll go over reasons business goals fail and what to do about it. Let's take a typical personal goal - to quit smoking. Regardless of whether you quit cold turkey or quit with assistance from medications, it is still very hard to quit smoking. When you say "I will quit smoking", this tends to be a negative thing in your mind. You think of ...

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to All!

Posted in Watkins Business by Eldon on December 25th, 2006
I would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas, and of course a Happy New Year! As the New Year approaches, many of us take time to reflect on the past year, and choose to set goals for the upcoming year. I do this, but I never refer to my new goals as "New Year's Resolutions" - I call them "positive decisions". May God richly bless you, your family, your loved ones, and your business in the upcoming year!

Network Marketing - Fear of Talking to People

Posted in Watkins Business by Eldon on December 24th, 2006
Some people who start home-based network marketing businesses like Watkins soon find that they are afraid to talk to others about their business. While this can reflect a lack of confidence in your opportunity, it can also be due to a natural shyness. Shyness can cripple a new associate before they ever get started. If you find that you are afraid to talk to anyone about your business, dig deep down inside yourself and examine the reasons. Are you truly confident in your business? Do you really feel you have a good opportunity that other people might want to learn about? If you lack confidence in your opportunity (and many new network marketers do), you need to build belief in your ...

Home Business Blues - Playing the Blame Game

Posted in Watkins Business by Eldon on December 22nd, 2006
Over the years, I've spoken with many people who started a home-based network marketing business and quit long before their business had a chance to develop. I've found that many of them played the "blame game". In this case I am referring to people who joined MLM or network marketing opportunities that are stable and known to be legitimate (not fly by night operations). Below are a few of the most common excuses I've heard from people who have quit their network marketing business. Following each excuse are questions I asked, or wanted to ask. Excuse #1 - It is the company's fault. I don't like the way they do things. Did you research the company before you got involved? Did you ...
