Welcome to the first edition of home business training.  My name is Jeremy Henderson, home business mentor, and I'll be working with you to help you become successful in your own home business.

A little about me.  I'm a full time work at home dad.  I'm married to my beautiful wife Kate and we have a 4 month old named Caleb.  My wife and I've been married 5 years and have a very awesome relationship.  We both serve the Lord first and then each other next.  Serving the Lord and your spouse is not always the easy thing to do and takes lots of work, but is worth it by a long shot.

My story in regards to my network marketing career is similar to many others with the exception that I never quit and became successful.  I joined my first online income opportunity in April of 2006.  It was a 1up system and was several hundred dollars to join.  This was my first exposure to this industry.  I worked hard and spent money advertising but never made a sale, except for someone I already knew.  I joined another opportunity that was a lot more affordable and had a forced matrix.  I was told repeatedly that all I needed to do was sponsor 2 people and help them do the same and I would be successful.  Big suprise, it didn't work out that way, lol.  I ended up sponsoring over 25 people and never really made much more than the monthly cost.

Things changed for me when I began to study marketing instead of opportunities.  You see, like many, I was looking for the right opportunity instead of the right home business training and mentor.  If you don't possess the skills of marketing, you'll never be successful at any opportunity.  It doens't matter how great the company is or how awesome the payplan may be.  You must know how to market correctly.

So I spent the next 6 months reading and studying everything I could get my hands on.  I read that I needed to generate my own leads.  I ended up paying for a $2000 system that was supposed to help me generate tons and tons of leads at the click of a button.  Turns out the system I paid $2K for was an upfront cost for a system that I had to pay $40 a month to use.  So I plugged in and worked it for 3 months.  I went to the training and did what I was supposed to do.  At the end of the 3 months all I had was a few junky leads and some spam complaints.  I won't say that it was a scam, but I can say it wasn't even worth $40 a month, much less $2000.

So, I'm rambling, I know.  Get to the point, right?  What does it take to succeed in this industry.  For me it boils down to 3 things.

1. Mindset - You must believe the goal you have in mind to acheive.  I don't practice a lot of hocus pocus stuff here, but I do know that if your mindset is not right, you won't acheive your goals.  This is the first place I coach people.

2. Skills - You must learn:  marketing skills, relationship building techniques, phone skills, business ethics, organization, etc...  If you truly treat this industry like a business, you will find that there is a learning curve.  I coach people how to get started and which are the most important skills to develop first, but it's an ongoing learning process.

3. Discipline - You must plan to work and then work your plan on a consistent basis.  You can have the mindset and skills but accomplish nothing.  You must have a plan of action that requires a consistent effort of skill application.  I coach people on the best ways to create an effective plan and then in turn how to put that plan into action.

Thanks for taking the time to read this introduction.  I'll be adding to this site on a consistent basis so you can learn more from the mindset, skills and discipline areas which are needed to be successful in your own home business.

God Bless,

Jeremy Henderson
