Reasons why you should be running your own business

I am so excited about running my own business and watching it grow and expand. As a Licensed Massage Therapist I enjoy providing pain relief and comfort to my clients. As a distributor for Young Living oils I enjoy the benefits of these products every day as well as provide pure and natural products to my clients that improve their quality of life. I am also loving being a Paparazzi distributor. Providing women and girls everywhere with lovely jewelry that is not only very affordable but also lead and nickel free.

As I continue to grow in my business, I am beginning to experience more and more the benefits of running my own business that I want to share with you. Take a look on what I have found.

Some people know from an early age they were meant to own their own business. Others find themselves starting a business due to life changes (parenthood, retirement, losing a job, etc.). Others may be employed, but are wondering whether the role of business owner/entrepreneur is right for them. There are a number of benefits to starting a business, but there are also risks that should be evaluated.

There can be many benefits to starting your own business, including:

• Rewards. Not everyone defines reward the same way. For some it might be seeing a new venture grow and succeed. For others it may be conquering the unknown and striking out on their own. However you define reward, starting a new company might hold that promise for you.
• Being your own boss. When you start a business and are self-employed, you are your own boss and ultimately control your own destiny.
• Income. Whether you view starting a business as an economic necessity or a way to make some additional income, you might find it generates a new source of income.
• Flexible hours. Owning your own business is hard work and often requires long, odd hours. In some cases, having your own business may allow you to have more flexible hours. Many stay-at-home parents, for example, choose to become entrepreneurs.
• Purchasing an existing business. While it may not be viewed as “starting” a business, purchasing an existing business has proven beneficial for many business owners—but it undoubtedly requires both financial and time investments. For businesses that are already profitable, these new business owners jump past the true startup phase into running a mature business.

If you’re an entrepreneur you have heard the million reasons not to go into business: It’s too risky, you might go into debt, you’ll probably lose sleep, your social life is kaput, and the list goes on. But even with all these uncertainties, people are still attracted to the startup world. There are just as many, if not more reasons to take the leap and go start your own business.  Here are just a few:

Tax benefits. For entrepreneurs (freelancers included), they have the opportunity to take advantage of some nice tax perks. Many can write off expenses like travel, food, phone bills, portions of car payments, and the list goes on. Also, certain startups qualify for government incentives. Make sure to ask your accountant about what tax benefits you may be eligible for.

Pride. When you build something successful, it’s a great feeling. You had a vision, were able to execute it and not can reap the benefits of saying "I did this." On the other hand, it’s tough to be proud of the zillionth request for proposal you fill out for your employer.

Your posterity. If you’re a doctor, plumber or bus driver it’s hard to imagine you passing your career on to your loved ones. But if you own your own business, that’s something you can pass on to the next generation. And be proud of it, because you created it.

Job security. Have you ever been laid off, downsized, or fired?  If you have, you get this. With entrepreneurship the security lies in the fact you are your own boss. You run the show and don't have to worry about getting let go.

Networking. Click here for more on this article

Your reason. I’ve given you a list of why I think you should get into business.  But all that really matters is your reason to start your own business.  So, what is it?

There must be some reason why some 600,000 new businesses are founded each year, right? Well, based on an informal survey conducted by Inc.com, there are plenty of good reasons to run your own small business. Nearly 500 (462 to be exact) small business owners responded to the survey in which they were asked to name some of the reasons why they prefer to own their own small business as opposed to working as an employee for a larger company. What follows is a list of the 10 most common responses along with thoughts from some of the entrepreneurs who sent them (along with thanks to everyone who participated). 

1. You Control Your Own Destiny

2. You Can Find Your Own Work/Life Balance

3. You Choose the People You Work With

4. You Take on the Risk – And Reap the Rewards

5. You Can Challenge Yourself

6. You Can Follow Your Passion

7. You Can Get Things Done – Faster

8. You Can Connect With Your Clients

9. You Can Give Back to Your Community

10. You Feel Pride in Building Something of Your Own

The Benefits of MLM

Have you ever considered starting your own business with MLM? 

I found this article on interesting facts you may not already know 

The MLM involves low investment, minimal risk and almost infinite earnings potential. So why everyone isn't doing it? And why is it so difficult to explain to others the benefits and business opportunities and make them take a part?

Stop for a moment and think:

Suppose you were offered to work for a company for duration of 30 days. You have two options to get paid:

1. Payment of $10,000 daily for 30 days (the total of $ 300,000).

2. Payment of one cent ($ 0.01) that doubles its value each day, for a month.

What would you choose?

Let’s analyze which option will bring you the most money:

 

Amazing, isn’t it? It is an exponential growth.

Network marketing is building your business based on this mathematical calculation.

So what actually are we talking about?

Network Marketing (MLM = Multi-Level Marketing) is an improved marketing method, and you are about to understand the reason why; besides marketing company’s product, a reseller has an opportunity to build his own marketing network. He receives company’s support as well. In fact, distributor builds his own business without investing in resources and without any risk taking.

At first the business requires reseller’s presence. However, with a time she becomes a type of 'business owner' that beneficiates from the economic leverage of the network she has built.

Through MLM anyone can reach financial freedom, since the resource needed to succeed is not a financial capital but a human capital. Everyone knows people who know other people and the whole business are based on personal networking.

How does it work?

On the contrary to the traditional marketing method, that attracts attention in any way possible, Word-of-mouth marketing has been recognized as one of the most valuable form of marketing. It is based on person-to person relationships. And, it works on the basis of network marketing.

This is a situation where everyone wins. Client, who already buys the product, gets a chance to make money. That way the company reduces marketing cost but remains with the best advertising method- word of mouth. The resources saved by the company are invested in distributors that result in bonuses additionally to the current benefits. Hence, the customers are enjoying from a quality product as well.

How do you make money?

How much do you want to make with Paparazzi?

see how

People who engaged in MLM are not regular marketers. They build businesses based on social networks. The power of these networks is that they are expanding all the time. The principle is very simple: Find number of people who will join you to build a business, provide them support, guidance, training and help them to unite people to do the same thing. This is a reproduction.

Suppose you have joined a network marketing company today. Let's see what your earning potential is:

Suppose that every month only one person joins you. That person invites another person next month and so on.

In the first month only one person joins your business. Therefore, you have the total of two people. In the second month each of you joins another person. It now makes company of four people. In the third month the business grows to 8 people.  

After 5 months you will have 32 people in your network. However, personally, you added only 5 people to your company. After just one year you will have a chain of 4096 distributors. For example, even if we take an extreme case, where 90% of the members of the organization will retire from it, you stay with 410 distributors whose loyalty and reliability is very high.

What if every month you add three people instead of one? And imagine, if you add five people to the network?

Growth potential is enormous and your network can only grow and flourish. 

A few facts to think about... 

Nobody within your network is working for you.  You are not responsible for their income or for the people within the whole network. Each of them is an independent worker just like you.

The key to build a successful network is replication of the same exact process. MLM is a system that has everything set up for you. You don’t need to develop any training programs or “reinvent the wheel”. The only thing you need is to learn leaders’ theory of business in order to manage the network and apply to the network you are building.

People who are "below you" in the network can make more money than you. Think about it, in traditional business world there is no chance the common worker will earn more than the CEO. It sounds incredible yet surreal. But in network marketing there is an equal opportunity for anyone.

In network marketing the leaders will ensure the success of the group, in contrast to the traditional business leaders, who are hiding information in fear for their work place. Network marketing leaders care about the success of all the members within the organization. It is the only way to move forward and make profits.

Pyramid scheme???

The majority of the people don’t know a thing about MLM or they get confused and compare it to pyramid scheme.

Is it the same? It is so not!

The only similarity of the two methods is that in both cases you add people to the network. And that's it.

Pyramid scheme is illegal.  Its purpose is to create something out of nothing. In the pyramid scheme the product is worthless. There are high entry fee and the money goes to the apex of the pyramid and stays there. Most of the members remain deceived because of the clear pyramid hierarchy. Cash flow is always moving only upwards. The higher person’s position in the pyramid, the more money he gets from the people underneath.

In Network Marketing the money is not paid based on the amount of people the distributor signed.  He receives commission based on selling a quality product. The position in the hierarchical ladder of the organization doesn’t matter. New distributor can have higher income than the distributor who signed him into the network.

Ignorance is depriving people from enormous financial potential!

Anyhow, is it so bright in the end?

Start your business today

Allegedly, the business involves low investment, minimal risk and almost infinite earnings potential. Therefore, why everyone isn’t doing it? And why is it so difficult to explain to others the benefits and business opportunities and make them take a part?

Yet again, the answer is ignorance, but this isn’t the only reason. Many don’t believe that they can become rich and when they get offered an opportunity to take control of their lives, get wealthy and live their dreams, they just don’t believe it could happen to them. They simply reject the offer.

Not everyone succeeds. The reason isn’t because of the method, product or company, but the person himself. To be a successful network marketer, distributor has to go through development and growth. This way can ensure a fair enrichment, but not an instant one. People think that within two months they will become millionaires and do not have the patience to wait and go through the process.

To summarize 

Network Marketing is a business that gives an equal opportunity to succeed for everyone. Business combines low risk and investment, and high potential in return. It provides financial education, knowledge and leverage.  Business generates passive income and simultaneously increases the free time.

Today, the situation isn’t simple. The future is uncertain almost in all areas. Any sensible person must consider his steps and choose the way that would allow him and his family a good life and economic well-being at this moment and in the future. Network marketing allows anyone to reach this goal and doesn’t require any special talent besides faith and perseverance.

Compliment Challenge

Compliment Challenge

Everyone can relate to having a bad day; car problems, getting stuck in traffic, or just running late to an appointment can put a damper on anyone’s morning. Once the ball gets rolling, it can feel like the rest of the day is only going to go downhill. Have you ever had one of those bad days and a friend, co-worker, or colleague gave you a simple compliment and for some reason that small gesture lifted your spirits and your day seemed to get better? That’s because compliments are powerful gestures that will not only change the momentum and outcome of your day, but more importantly, can reinforce positivity in your life.

The Paparazzi brand is associated with guilt-free shopping and gorgeous accessories, which leads to loads of fun and increased confidence for everyone involved.  As a Consultant, it is important to incorporate that positivity into your business.  One easy way to do this is by giving compliments.

Compliments are great tools that can help break the ice with your customers and dissolve the walls or barriers that can make them feel uncomfortable. Establish common ground with your customers by greeting them at the door with a compliment. Not only do these small gestures make you more approachable,compliments lead to further conversation and can allow you to easily learn the likes and dislikes of your customers.

A true compliment will stay with you forever, leaving a lasting imprint on your life. Sometimes giving and receiving compliments does not come naturally to everyone, but incorporating the practice of compliments into your daily business practices will not only benefit your team morale, but will help you build confidence in yourself.Create a compliment challenge by setting a compliment goal for yourself. For example, perhaps you decide that you want to give five compliments a day to your customers, friends, co-workers, or even strangers!  Below are a couple of tricks to help you reach your goal:

• Penny Pocket Trick: Keep five pennies in your front pocket to represent the five compliments you want to give at a party (or throughout the day). For every compliment you give throughout the party, move the pennies from your front pocket to your back pocket. By the end of the party, you should have moved all your pennies from your front pocket to you back pocket or vice versa.
• Rubber Band Trick: Put five rubber bands on your right wrist to represent the five compliments you want to give at a party. For every compliment you give throughout the party, move the rubber bands from the right wrist to the left wrist. By the end of the party, you should have moved all the rubber bands from the right wrist to the left wrist or vice versa.

The act of giving compliments is always a win-win situation.  The person who received the compliment is uplifted and given a burst of confidence, while the one who gives the compliment gets to savor the amazing feeling that comes from spreading that amazing Paparazzi positivity.

Hidden Causes of Nickel Allergy

Nickel allergy is a common reaction to minute amounts of nickel particles coming into direct contact with the skin and may include jewelry, watches, zippers, snaps and even eyeglasses. Approximately 10% of Americans have an allergy to nickel. Certain occupations result in habitual nickel exposure, which increases the risk of developing a nickel allergy. These include metal factory workers, hairdressers, tailors and restaurant workers.

Jewelry Not a Girl's Best Friend?

Because women tend to wear more jewelry, particularly costume jewelry which has a high nickel content, they are more commonly affected. Men rarely present with a nickel allergy unless developed through occupational exposure. A nickel allergy may arise at any age, and as with any form of allergy, the more often the exposure, the higher the risk for developing an allergy. As seen with other medical allergies, once a person is allergic, they are always allergic.

Eczema patients (or those with atopic dermatitis or other forms of chronic open skin rashes) are more prone to developing a nickel allergy as the nickel particles can gain better access to entering the bloodstream. Also, if nickel comes in contact with an open wound, this can act as a source of sensitization. Ear, nose and body piercings can ironically act as a major form of nickel sensitization. Use of stainless steel, medical plastic or medical titanium earrings are vital during the ear piercing process to reduce this risk.

Acting Rashly

Why does a rash form from exposure to nickel? Nickel sulfate is considered foreign by the immune system – much like the body would react to a germ. When one of these foreign substances comes into contact with the skin, the body reacts, causing a rash termed an "allergic contact dermatitis." There are many causes of allergic contact dermatitis but they share clinical similarities in the appearance of the rash. Inflammation leads to itching, redness, rough scaly areas, cracking and perhaps weeping or blistered skin.

Repeat insults result in repeat flare-ups. This explains why the earlobes for instance may only develop an itchy rash periodically when certain high-risk earrings are worn versus continuous daily problems with a wedding ring.

What Are the Symptoms of a Nickel Allergy?

People with a nickel allergy usually begin to develop a skin reaction within 12 to 48 hours after coming into contact with an item containing nickel. The symptoms of a nickel allergy include:

• skin rash or bumps
• redness or other changes in skin color
• dry patches on the skin that resemble a burn
• itching
• blisters (in very severe cases)

Nickel is also one of the main causes of a skin rash known as allergic contact dermatitis. Someone with a nickel allergy will almost always have a localized response following exposure to objects containing nickel. This means that the allergic reaction only affects the part of the skin that comes into contact with nickel.

Eating foods containing small amounts of nickel may also trigger an immune response that causes changes in the skin.

Allergic contact dermatitis causes the following symptoms:

• severe itching
• scaly, raw, or thickened skin
• dry, discolored, or rough skin
• warm, tender skin
• fluid-filled blisters

The rash usually lasts between two and four weeks after exposure.

In rare cases, a nickel allergy can also lead to respiratory problems, including:

• runny nose
• nasal inflammation
• asthma
• sneezing

People with this type of reaction should take preventive measures immediately.

Here are some precautions to follow to avoid nickel. 

For clothing, choose fasteners made of plastic, coated or painted metal, or some other material. A nickel allergy does not mean jewelry cannot be worn. One just has to be much more selective in choices -- make sure they are hypoallergenic, or made of stainless steel (although this contains nickel, it is so tightly bound that it cannot be leached out), solid gold (at least 12 carat), pure sterling silver, or polycarbonate plastic. However, if earrings must be worn that contain nickel, protect oneself with plastic covers made specifically for earring studs. Applying clear nail polish to earrings is another option of some use. Since perspiration dissolves nickel, some people have tried removing moisture by applying talcum powder to areas of the body in contact with nickel-containing items in the hopes of limiting the extent or degree of exposure. This is of little use.
