You’re going to love this. I mean, seriously love it. Have you ever wished the “Big Dog” gurus would invite you over to look at their offices? See their schedules? And, explain HOW to make this whole working at home thing work?

Well, my favorite marketing mentor, Jimmy D. Brown has done just that. His course Homepreneur Habits even has a picture of him in his jammies at his desk.

I enjoyed this course so much, that I asked Jimmy if I could post an excerpt from it on my blog. He agreed, so here it is: 

Excerpt: Homepreneur Habits
by Jimmy D. Brown

 

Hello, this is Jimmy D. Brown, author of the SR Zone™ Reports.

One of the questions that I get a lot from members of List And Traffic (as well as from my other customers and even subscribers) is this -

What does your home office look like?

There is a lot of interest in learning about the equipment I use, the setup of my office, my daily routine, etc. So, I’ve decided to create this report that I’m entitling, “Homepreneur Habits: How To Run A Successful Home Business”.

My goal for this series is to teach you some basic setup and operations for establishing and maintaining your own home business office. Which, ultimately, will translate into more efficiency, productivity and … profitability!

Whether you are a complete beginner or a seasoned pro, I think some of the insights that I’ll be giving you into how my own office and business is organized and operated will be beneficial to you in your own pursuits.

And, YES, just so you know, I really do work in my pajamas! In fact, as I’m writing this article I’m sitting here in my Ralph Lauren Polo pajamas and a white t-shirt. My wife snapped this picture just a couple of minutes ago…

(Warning: This is Jimmy in the morning in his pajamas … not for the faint at heart

Continue on at your own risk.

No lifeguards on duty.

Turn back, turn back, turn back.

Okay, you were warned…

You really can operate your own business in your pajamas. Or anything else for that matter. But, please, no file-sharing. I’ll take you at your word when you tell me you work in the same pair of holey underwear from college just to remind you of where you came from.

Okay, back to the point. I’ve got this series divided into three parts…

Homepreneur Habits:  How To Run A Successful Home Business

Lesson #1: The PRINCIPLES Of A Successful Homepreneur

Lesson #2: The PARAPHERNALIA Of A Successful Homepreneur

Lesson #3: The PRACTICES Of A Successful Homepreneur

In our first lesson we’ll look at some guidelines or “rules” that I go by in organizing and operating my home office. Lesson two will cover specific equipment that I use in my daily operations. And in lesson three I’ll share how to organize your schedule for increased productivity and results.

I’ll be sharing lots of visuals as you’ll be given an “all access” tour of my own home office.

All of this begins in our next lesson. (Excerpt ends)
Jimmy always ‘over-delivers’ with his coaching so I urge you to head on over and grab a copy of this right now and see for yourself while it’s still available:

In any endeavour success comes at a price – and not necessarily the financial kind. As a home based business executive the first and most important contribution to make for personal success is to establish a clear objective and define the stepping stones to achieving the goal.
There is a quote I picked up years ago (author unknown) that remains pinned to the wall above my computer monitor. It looks across at me every morning and promts some positive reaction every time – it simply states -
“The Lord feeds even the birds – but He doesn’t throw the worms in the nest.”

That’s just a simple way of saying that nothing will happen today without personal effort from you know who!
So before getting started it’s a good idea to have a very clear idea of what a goal really is. The best definition I’ve been able to come up with is this,
A GOAL is a specific, measurable and time-bound end, toward which you direct specific effort until achieved.
Food for thought!
To your success…
