Becoming recession-proof in these tough economic times means taking the initiative and making a move now which will withstand anything a stuttering economy can throw at you in the future.

Network marketing may not be the first choice of many to build financial wealth but consider the changes taking place within the industry right now. For example, community based network marketing is emerging as a trend which is giving failed network marketers of the past renewed faith and hope that there is a system which can actually work and help them make vital breakthroughs in building their business.

In 2007, Ann Sieg rocked the network marketing world when she released two landmark books, The 7 Great Lies Of Network Marketing followed by The Renegade Network Marketer. What this system did was introduce internet network marketing to the world. The truth is, it actually just re-enforced the concept that using the internet would help fast track a person’s business growth.

Occupy The City

Occupy The City is a community based network marketing opportunity which encompasses the principles of the Renegade system. Members are being taught how to market online, skills which they didn’t have. In fact, many had not even touched a computer keyboard in the past.

Occupy The City founder Jason Acopolis is proud of the emergence and impact OTC is having and it’s role in redefining the face of MLM business building in the future.

“Our professional community is open to anyone that has the drive to succeed. Because Occupy the City is a Professional Community, there are no-strings-attached. The information is free and there is no pressure anywhere in the process. We know we have a lucrative business model based on core values with integrity, but we also know it’s not for everyone.”

Acopolis says…”Our system works like a diamond sifter to allow the most qualified, driven, and professional applicants to rise naturally to the top with out the need for high pressure sales. Our in house marketing Dept. is connected to the best of the best when it comes to marketing online and all of their knowledge and tools are put to use to drive your business.”

He says…”If you are someone with the ability and drive to succeed in the environment we create then you will see that for yourself, and if we see it in you as well then you are already on your way.”

“From day one as an accepted applicant you have access to the knowledge of the entire community along with all the training, tools, marketing, and mentoring you need through our support forums & training pages. Our community of professionals is at the beckon call of every new member. On top of all that you never have to interview or close your own prospects since we have some of the best people in the business on board to do that for you!”

So if you are struggling in your network marketing business then consider what Occupy The City can offer you in turning your fortunes around.

Succeeding with a network marketing internet business comes down to more than the strength of the opportunity itself. It’s often said that you are the biggest asset in your business and the truth is, that is spot on.

Many who make the transition from 9-5 to home business fail simply because they are not in the right mindset. In fact, one key to succeeding is to simply take that 9-5 mentality onto your business and apply it and you’ll be amazed how productive you can be.

It’s lack of productivity which often hurts the MLM internet business start up. When we say apply a job mentality we mean you need to clock on at a specific time each day, work a to do list and clock off only when you’ve completed your given tasks for the day.

Can you see the big picture here. Working from home doesn’t mean freedom and financial success. Well, it actually means freedom from a boss but here again, look at this deeper and actually appointing a makeshift boss is not such a bad idea especially if you are a bad self starter.

Health related Home Businesses offer a great chance to build a strong residual income business.  And to incorporate the internet aspect, Cyberwize Health businesses are a great way to build a strong business.

5 Home Business Time Management Success Tips

Without a good time management plan you are doomed to fail in your home business or at least, produce average results. Yes, working from home gives you the freedom to spend more time with your family and to work when you want to but if you are not making money then what’s the point? You would be better off going back to a paid job. At least the income would be consistent.

A network marketing internet business requires a good time management plan. Here are some tips to consider for your business:

1. Set yourself a work time schedule. This is especially important when first starting off in MLM. You can make this schedule whatever you want…9 to 5, 8 to 12, 9 to 3.

2. When your time schedule is set then these are your work hours. Let nothing interrupt you during this time because these are the hours in the day which will be responsible for productivity in your business.

3. Distractions such as the phone, checking emails and the television should be avoided. Check your emails first thing in the morning and leave your phone off or off the hook.

4. Set your schedule for each day the day before. Before you turn in for the night, make a list of your tasks for the day. Place them in order of importance. Don’t fall for the trap of doing tasks which are the easiest because they will kill your productivity levels and give you a false sense of accomplishment.

5. Appoint or hire a mentor. Someone you can report to on a daily basis that can offer encouragement and check your progress each day. This person needs to be someone you highly respect or even fear to a certain extent. It needs to be someone you hate to let down because of who they are. This is a very powerful way to beat procrastination and build your home internet business.
