Don't Let Your Business Fly South for the Winter
by Michelle Hansen
Winter is in full swing and we hope you are enjoying this
fabulous time of year with the ones you love as much as we are.
As we plan for the upcoming holidays, don't forget to stay at
least moderately active in your home business. One of the
biggest mistakes I see people make is taking a full 1 to 2 month
break from their businesses in winter and summer. This is deadly
for your home business. It's twice as hard to play catch up than
to do just a little everyday. Although we're busy during the
holidays we should keep in mind that people are beginning to
think about the new year and starting a home business. Also many
moms are home with the kids out of school and have some time to
breath and start something new during the holidays. Now's the
ideal time to make contact with both groups of prospects. Don't
wait until after the holidays, you can certainly lose out by
doing so. If you've already made contact with your new partners,
some will begin during the holidays season and you can be ready
to help the ones who want to start up for the new year right
away in January. If you wait until January to start calling and
contacting prospects, you will be playing catch up and miss out
on the people that the early birds already talked to. Also if
you own a home party business, book those parties because this
is the most profitable time of year for you!
Of course, we're all busy during the holidays but we can
certainly use the extra money and we don't want to let our
businesses go south for the winter. Simply take advantage of the
flexibility your home business offers and schedule your work
around shopping and family activities. Pace yourself and do a
little each day. Don't stop making new contacts just because
it's November and December. This is one of the major mistakes
business builders make. Make your home business the early bird
that caught the worm, not the bird that flew south for winter. A
little work in November and December can pay big dividends in
the new year for you and your wallet! Don't look at the holiday
season as a time to kick back and stop working, instead use your
flexibility for benefits you can reap in January. Winter is not
time to hibernate, but are you allowed to slow down...just a
little.
