Succeeding as an entrepreneur takes hard work and persistence because, unfortunately, there is no business-startup fairy who magically bestows success on small businesses and their owners.
Hundreds of online articles and published books claim to know the secret of success in business, but for the most part, they boil down to the same major points.

Passion, perseverance and a positive attitude tend to set successful entrepreneurs apart. Cultivating these attributes requires an innate skill set and some tips to get started.

So here are the main items to take into consideration if you’re trying to develop a business platform. These elements constitute will support a smart strategy for any new enterprise:

1. Love what you do.

Passion is key to keeping a business strategy moving. Half-heartedness in an entrepreneurial endeavor will chip away at your drive to succeed. Perseverance is the one thing that’s guaranteed to move anything over time, whether it’s a person, a job or an entire company. Abraham Lincoln failed at most of his efforts until late in his life, but he never gave up.

2. Take baby steps.

Jumping all in is rarely ever successful. There are success stories about people who invested everything once and came out winners after six months or a couple years, but those are rare. Risk management is an essential factor in any startup, and balance is vital. You can absorb losses more easily if you take smaller risks in the beginning. Those will provide essential and productive lessons.

3. Learn from others.

Successful entrepreneurs often worked for others in their field of choice before striking out on their own. Spending a few years in the industry under an excellent mentor will provide a good launching pad. Learn from your predecessors’ mistakes and brainstorm about how to improve upon their model. Find someone willing to teach, and think about starting your business elsewhere when you leave.

4. Learn how to self-promote.

Confidence and a good elevator speech can take any pitch to the next level. The first marketing any company experiences comes from its founder. Spend time learning how to share your vision without coming across as “salesy.” Don’t be afraid to ask for the sale, but remember: the client is always the focus.

5. Constantly take action.

Entrepreneurs are movers and shakers. They can’t afford to analyze every detail or they’d never get anywhere. There is no place for procrastination in a startup. It’s a 24/7, no-vacation-or-sick-days kind of job that demands constant forward momentum. Make a brief assessment at every step and move on it. Trust your instincts.

6. Make a plan.

Read about successful businesses. Take in the wealth of knowledge that’s been provided by successful entrepreneurs such as Steve Jobs and the personalities from Shark Tank. A successful business plan does not have to be a book. A 10-page plan is digestible yet long enough to include everything you need to start.

7. Build a reputation.

According to Brandi Bennett at hostgator, maintaining a blog on a well-hosted website, or volunteering your time and skills, shows instead of tells the community, and thereby builds expertise and trust.

8. It’s never too late to start.

Many successful entrepreneurs started later in life. J. K. Rowling (Harry Potter author), Julia Child (chef), and Sam Walton all started their wildly successful brands after they were comfortably along in their lives. Having the experience that comes with age can give you a unique outlook on your business. Life experiences bring depth that the most educated young adult, by his or her nature, is less able to foresee.

9. Build your "A team".

Finding the skill sets and attitudes that support the culture of the brand you want to promote will foster innovation and enhance your reputation. Include folks from outside the company for the people you rely on. That will start a free marketing chain reaction that can build confidence and revenue.

10. Be mindful of your attitude.

The attitude of the founder will set the tone for the business. Negativity, laziness and entitlement waste time and money while they tarnish your reputation. Success largely depends on making mistakes and accepting blame in stride. Owning up to and facing challenges head-on is what makes a mere business owner a leader.

ll the above tips are necessary for success, taking care of yourself mentally and physically is also imperative. Exercise, sleep and diet play a central role in ensuring you implement these policies successfully. All of them drive attitude, motivation and relationships.

triking a balance may take a while, but working toward this list as a goal for starting your company will make the difference. How an owner feels about progress and how quickly a business can be up and running -- and feeding that bottom line -- will swiftly feel the impact.

We have two types of down line: the ones who will buy from TripleClicks and the ones who won’t. The ones who won’t buy really have no available cash, still have doubts about SFI/TripleClicks, or don’t understand how to buy. And you have the ones who will buy once they see the importance of buying from TC.

A Few reasons why:

1. To outline the importance of investing in your own business
2. You earn 45% of the Commission Volume* of every purchase made by your PRM (Personal Referred Member) OR a TripleClicks (TC) member at TripleClicks.com.

Make an outline of what you need to say to your team and then break it up into 4 or more separate subjects and write weekly letters based on each subject. Don’t push but be firm.

What will you learn:

1. The benefits of buying from TripleClicks (TC)
2. What you have found to buy and how you found it; how to use the TC searches.
3. Explain transfer buying, show them how to use the Wish List, and get them excited about buying their gifts from TC or giving Gift Certificates as.
4. How to encourage them to purchase from TripleClicks.

1.The benefits of buying from TripleClicks

Leading by example is the best encouragement you can give to your downline to purchase from TripleClicks.

Set up a Standing Order first thing when you joined, if money is not a problem. It will show your downlines and uplines you are serious, and may follow your lead. A good beginning. If money is short, then all the better to promote TC products to generate sales, and transfer your experience and enthusiasm for the TC products on to them. In time your downlines will be able to save enough money to pay for standing order.

2. What you have found to buy and how you found it

Share your enthusiasm for a product that you have bought at TC, in your communication and weekly messages to your team. Mention how you have used and still using, for example, Viriuni Advanced Liquid Nutrition, the health benefits you derived from using it, and the VP and MRP that go with it.

There are many more physical products at our TC store, like TC T-shirts and TC caps, the new TC Portfolio, etc. and motivational books you can purchase at Hot Deals and are on specials, that will help shape your thinking about doing things in a positive frame of mind.

Share a product review in your weekly emails to give them awareness and teach them how to write a short, concise, and informative review and earn 25 Action VP per.

Sharing in the benefits of a healthy and profitable TC Executive Pool by purchasing TCredits for use at bidding, playing Eager Zebra games, TC music downloads, among others.

And most of all, if you are generous and charitable by nature, you will be delighted to know that a percentage of your TC purchases go to an accredited worldwide charity called CARE. Now that’s really caring, not only for yourself but for others in the world less fortunate.

3. Transfer buying

The best way to encourage network sales is to practice and teach the principle value of a transfer buy. Transfer buying is taking some of the disposable income that you already spend and transferring those purchases from the local market to your TripleClicks store. Since most affiliates complain about not having any money, you simply must help them to realize that supporting their TripleClicks store should not cost them money but save them money.

Here are just a few of the benefits of transfer buying:

You can achieve team leader status buy leveraging the power of up to 2000 VP from your transfer buy.
Always comparison shop prices. If the price is only a couple of dollars difference between the transfer buy and your local market go with the transfer buy. Why? Remember, you earn MRPs for shopping your TripleClicks store. You don’t get those locally. Those MRP can be use to purchase a wide variety of products. Check for free shipping to save even more.
If you set the standard for your team they can see your shining example. You can’t expect people to do what you are not willing to do.
Shopping your TC stores saves you the hassle of long checkouts, crowded malls, and the stress of driving or walking to the store. More time to spend doing your favorite activity.
You can set up an additional rewards system for every one that follows your shining example. Assign T Credits, PSAs, or a gift certificate. That would just make shopping TripleClicks that much sweeter of a deal.
Let’s not forget, that supporting TripleClicks sweetens the pot for everyone that is an SFI Executive affiliate – the more support will just make shares be worth more money!
Continue to give product reviews when you send your weekly team mail and ask them to send you their reviews. Ask for feedback in every letter and offer to run them through their first purchase, then give them a $2 Gift Certificate to either buy one TCredit, or better yet a Wave3 kit. Put a 5 or 10 day expiration date to hurry them along. If they don’t use the Gift Certificate, you will get your money back.

This is good for those who will buy and those who need help understanding how to do it. Those without any available cash can be taught how to pick up some spending cash by redeeming collected pop bottles, doing a paper route, helping a neighbor, etc. They need to be taught to target this extra money for the purpose they set for it, not letting it get sucked up into their general fund. If they want to succeed in this business they will find a way.

Those with too many doubts to invest their money need time to get to know the business better. They will either come around or quit. Don’t push them but always answer what you think they need to know.

4.How to encourage them to purchase from TripleClicks

The first and most important fact to remember is that your SFI downline, are there to make money and will wary of spending money as they may have been tricked by internet scams in the past. Remember this is a free program don’t pressure them into making purchases. As it may frighten them off and they will miss the opportunity to make an internet based income

The first thing to do is practice what you preach. Spend money promoting your business, start transfer shopping. Play the games be involved in the auction. Be active in forums and do not be afraid to ask you’re up line questions. It is in their best interest to help you and your team develop.

Give them information on how you have achieved successes and warn them of any pitfalls that you may have discovered and answer their question promptly as they are excited about the opportunity and want to start achieving results, they may leave if you appear apathetic or lazy.

In order to encourage your downline to purchase from TripleClicks, you should be setting the example of treating TripleClicks as your store.

How to encourage them to purchase from TripleClicks?

Explain the benefits of purchasing at TripleClicks, such as earning valuable VPs to increase commission and improve Power Rank and earning MRPs, which can be used to purchase any products and services at TripleClicks.
Let them know how they can capitalize on SFI products to grow their business. They can become top enroller by purchasing PSAs or they can deepen their knowledge by purchasing products dedicated to driving traffic, converting leads or simply learn how to effectively communicate. Acquiring the knowledge and skills to build their team will help them in the long run and will become business owners in true sense.
Organize a contest of accumulating VPs. Offer a reward of certain amount of TCredits for the top 10 in your downline or include them in your S-Builder Co-op or your own Ad Co-op.
Remind them about their reasons for joining such a successful home-based online business as SFI and how they can realize their visions and goals with your full support and commitment, emphasizing TripleClicks as their number one choice of store.

In network marketing it is important to talk about your business and how you got this far. One of the mistakes you can make during these conversations is trying to convince people to join SFI. Personally, I do not feel that it is a matter of having to convince anyone at all, and here’s why:

With anything that we do in life that involves people, whether personally or professionally, it starts with building and nurturing relationships. Let’s say you have a friend who has come to you in dire need of advice. Why did they come to you? Because you have built that relationship and have earned their trust.

The same principle can be applied to your SFI business. As you build, develop and grow your team, enter into conversations with your downline. Get to know them. Find out about things like family, hobbies, sports, where they live, etc. This demonstrates to them that you are genuinely interested in them as a person and not just another pay cheque. As you develop relationships with your downline members, you will, in time, earn their trust, and once they trust you, then it is not longer a matter of having to convince them… all you will have to do is teach and show them how to make money with SFI and they will instinctively follow your lead out of trust in you.

What can you do?

It’s hard to convince people to do anything without showing them some sort of proof, and many affiliates have not yet earned the kind of income that could inspire someone to join SFI on that premise alone.

Even if you could show how successful you are, it doesn’t mean that the individuals you are trying to convince will obtain the same results, so it’s always best to avoid giving any tangible proof that may ultimately back-fire on you.

Instead of just focusing on how much money they can earn, why not turn the conversation around to the many opportunities and benefits SFI has to offer. A good way to do this is by talking about your own experience.

Tell them about your achievements and how you have learned more than you could ever have imagined; how you continue to learn something new each day. Tell them about your badges or the prizes you have won, or any other accomplishment you are particularly proud of. But most of all, allow your enthusiasm and passion for SFI to shine through.

Let your prospects know that by joining SFI, not only will they have free access to valuable information; they will also have many useful tools at their disposal to help them grow their business. And, although their level of success will depend entirely on how much time and effort they dedicate to their new venture, assure them that they can always count on you to guide and support them.
