Hi Chris and Susan here...
Hope you've had an amazing week and looking forward to the weekend
Tomorrow is 5th November - Fireworks Night
Fireworks are a sign of happiness, celebration, and even news of wealth
And it's a special day for us because 29 years ago we got married on 5th November!
We knew then we would do something different with our lives just not when that might be
To bring you up to date...
As you will know if you regularly read our emails, we've moved home in the UK and we're about to embark on an adventure to find our forever home in
Portugal
We shared about how back in 2005 when we purchased a run down old house and barn in
the French Alps we always imagined we would retire there...
It was the reason we started our online business after all!
Why we chose what is referred to as a "lifestyle business"
That's one that adjusts to a person's lifestyle so that they can live their life as they
like...
The freedom to work on the projects you want to work on even if they're extremely
varied
Which is why we wanted to spend some time talking today about how to start a lifestyle business and why we believe it's the
BEST option for most solo entrepreneurs to follow
The reason being, as one of our mentors wrote recently "if you want to make money - sell products. If you want to make a difference - solve problems!"
All businesses exist to solve problems for people. So, how do you start solving problems? You find one person with that problem, and see if:
a) you can solve it for them.
b) they’re willing to pay to have that problem resolved.
If the answer to both a) and b) is YES,
then you're in business!
The simplest businesses to start are affiliate marketing and network marketing businesses
We've have experience of both so we know they work and we've got the lifestyle to prove it
We won't say it's always been easy because it hasn't but entrepreneurs have to take the rough with the smooth...
It's all a balance
But the ONE thing we believe is going to be most beneficial is working with someone who has done what you want
to do
It's how we first started and we know the benefits or we wouldn't be stressing how important it is
These days we would say that modern network marketing is the best way to start generating an income
It's no longer about writing up a list of 100 people and contacting friends and family thank goodness
With social media and online marketing strategies it's a whole different ball game
We definitely would not have got involved
if we had to do it the old way
We want a life and a lifestyle
Proviso here - if
that's how you like to do business and you can then that's awesome
In fact we know many people who have built huge organisations this way and still do
We recently interviewed Australian entrepreneur Andrew Logan who is the author of The Way Out book
We highly recommend you tune in and have a listen because he's someone who has worked out this network
marketing gig using both online methods and old school methods (but not the contacting friends and family thing!!!)
