Not long ago I said that I wanted to be a seasoned real estate entrepreneur since I was in the third grade. I may not have said it in exactly those words at the time – entrepreneur is really a huge word for a third grader!

However, it was usually a personal goal for me to run my own business.

These days, I prefer to share with you my 5 expert recommendations that are guidelines for my own personal home business:

A smart home business entrepreneur has the big picture in mind. What I mean by this is that you have to work smart. Unfortunately, I have also seen many home business entrepreneurs get lost in the details. They don’t keep the big picture in mind long enough to make a profit.

The main objective of all your work for your organization should be your financial success along with your persuasive call to action for other people.

A smart home business entrepreneur establishes himself as an expert in his network marketing niche. Ideally, he would like to be the go-to person, the expert that other people go to when they want an opinion on the latest news in their field of real estate business. The best method of building this reputation is through a strong Internet presence.

Article marketing, blogging, video, and social media are all powerful methods of getting your thoughts out quickly to your niche audience. Consistency and quality are crucial to creating a compelling presence as a reputable entrepreneur in the local business world.

A smart business entrepreneur knows when to get outside support. Be honest with yourself about your professional strengths and weaknesses so you can hire the outside support you need.

For example, there are freelance writing companies that can provide you with the written materials to begin building your profile as a referral entrepreneur for your specific home business niche.

A smart entrepreneur creatively and consistently builds a customer’s trust. It has been proven more than once that trust can be a key factor for a sales conversion to occur. For me, it is important to be identified by my clients as someone who will talk about the good, the bad and the ugly in the world of network marketing. My honest analysis is one of my biggest calling cards.

This also means sharing a couple of details about my life. It’s amazing, sometimes the simple reality of telling a prospect that I grew up in Maryland makes the sale happen.

A smart business entrepreneur has a life outside the office of residence. There was a time when I was so focused on being successful with my home business that I let my personal relationships fade. I had to learn the hard way that you need to be motivated by your home business, but you shouldn’t get consumed by it.

My life as a home-based business entrepreneur is even more fulfilling than I ever imagined as a third grader with big dreams. I hope your home business is bigger than you ever dreamed of too!
