Maybe, just maybe, this describes you. For some time now you've given serious thought to starting your own home based business, but! (Don't you know it, no matter how good an idea, there always seems to be a big but around.)
One minute your thoughts are set on positive, you are convinced of your natural skills, your square-jawed determination to succeed, to prevail against all odds. After all, you're the captain of your own destiny, aren't you!
Yet, that's the very moment when, out of left field, old man negativity rears his ugly head casting doubts, all about. Suddenly, you began to question your own tenacity and decision making abilities, the main ingredients needed for success in any business enterprise.
At that instant, you tell yourself, these doubts never confronted anyone else before, if I really had the right stuff, I would be spared of these worries, just toss them aside and dash headlong into my own project.
Perhaps, these same worries are still holding you back and destroying your dreams of starting your own business.
I am reminded now, of when this positive idea first popped into my conscious thoughts, and I quickly embraced its inspiration. In the first few moments I flexed my self-confidence, I knew I could create my own winning business.
At the outset, my ego took center stage and after a few minutes of giving myself an unbiased and careful assessment, I naturally concluded objectively that; I was brilliant, self assured, and modestly speaking, ready to confront the business world with a sound, sensible business concept of my own, displaying my many innumerable talents.
Yet, a funny thing happened on the way to reality, out of the blue, I became plagued with a tsunami of self doubts, all but drowning my positive vibes.
I began to question my own resolve, if I really had what it takes, you know, the elusive qualities so needed for success, in other words - the right stuff.
I began musing as to whether; I had the time, was really smart enough, had the necessary funds, etc.. After all, I had nothing to sell at that time, maybe, in fact I was stuffed with all the wrong stuff.
In order to fortify my wishes for a home business I proudly informed my 'friends' of my high-flying plans, eagerly expecting their encouragements, maybe even a couple of "atta-boys."
However, they not only did their best to confirm my apprehensions, but piled on a few added negatives of their own.
I was about to throw in the towel, surrender my hopes when I remembered a bit of true advice offered musically years ago by the late Johnny Mercer, namely to "Accent the positive, eliminate the negative, and don't mess with Mr. In-between!"
At this point, don't worry, I won't regale you with the aftermath, in the end it's the past, and history has its ups and downs to be sure. The point I'm attempting to make is for you to leave the doubting to others.
Chances are, once you can learn to separate true problems and concerns from mere misgivings and believe enough in yourself, you'll soon discover on your own, that maybe, just maybe, perhaps deep down you do have, the right stuff.

Following Up Is Key To Internet Business Success
Copyright © Robbie Fanucchi
Which is more important; following up on prospects or following up on sales? Nine out of ten people would answer 'prospects'. This shows in the fact that most people believe marketing ends once the sale is made. However, marketing actually begins once the sale is made. That's right! Following up on the sale is the crucial most important aspect of Internet marketing.
Think about it. How many times have you received an e-mail after making an Internet purchase? Usually within minutes after making a purchase you receive a brief e-mail thanking you for your business.
It doesn't stop there. Most companies will continue to periodically send you e-mails. Sometimes it is to check up on how their product is working for you. Other times it is to inform you of a new or upcoming product that might benefit you. Regular contact form these companies results in a slow and steady relationship. The business is able to capture your trust, making it easier for them to sell you their services or products.
This follow up marketing tactic can work just as well for you. If you take the time to follow up on each sale you prove to the customer that you really care about their business and are available to help them become successful with your product. One fellow marketer commented that follow-ups are like a fruit tree ripe for the picking. Yes, follow-ups are a great way to garner extra business.
If you're like me, and your Internet ventures rely heavily on affiliate programs and residual income, following up becomes even more important. Why? Because a lot of residual income programs only pay you as long as the members in your down line stay in paid status.
I learned this the hard way. I do a lot of my marketing with a plug-in profit site that promotes a handful of affiliate programs like SFI, Empowerism and Host4profit. I remember the excitement the first time I made a sale with SFI and Host4profit. I remember thinking I was on the track to making monthly income. Boy was I wrong.
I made the mistake of making no contact with my customers after they joined the programs. I just assumed that they would be fine left on their own. Wrong! One or two months into the programs, they suddenly became inactive or simply quit.
I just saw my residual income drift unexplainably away. What went wrong? I have no way of knowing, since the quitters failed to respond to my sudden inquiring e-mails. I assumed it was my lack of support. After those embarrassing episodes, I made a decision to follow up on every sale. Now I immediately respond to each sale. I thank them for their business and then offer assistance in getting them going. Since that epiphany, the dropout rate in my residual income programs has dramatically decreased.
A lot of people join programs and are confused where to start. They don't initially realize that some effort is required to make them work. They become discouraged and simply quit. By having good follow up habits, you can provide them with a motivating kick in the butt. Always make yourself available for assistance. It may take a little extra time out of your day, but it is well worth it to keep that residual income rolling in.
No matter if you are marketing residual income programs or selling a product or service, your follow up habits can make or break your Internet business. Remember, marketing doesn't end with the sale, it actually begins.
