If you’ve been doing your own research into working from home and making money online you may well have come across a home business opportunity called YourNetBiz. Today I want to discuss whether making money with YourNetBiz is easy to achieve on your own or whether you need the help of a six figure mentor – I’ll define a six figure mentor as someone who consistently earns over six figures online and who is prepared to work with you to show you how its done.

YourNetBiz is a home based business opportunity in the form of a Turnkey Internet Marketing Training Program that you can resell and make from $300 to $2000 per sale. The opportunity consists of the Internet Marketing system itself, but you also get a suite of Internet Marketing products that you can resell and keep all of the profits, training products to develop your own knowledge of Internet Marketing, live Internet Training webinars and, at the top entry level, membership of a travel club called Primo vacations. I know many people who have enjoyed success with YourNetBiz without any mentoring help.

So why, if success is achievable working alone, would you need the help of a six figure mentor?

Its simple really. Like any good home business opportunity in the Internet Marketing arena there is a learning curve that you need to go through. If you are a complete newcomer to the world of Internet Marketing there will be terminology that you don’t understand, tools you will need to master and new skills you will need to develop. The real danger here is that you could suffer from ‘information overload’, lack of direction and failing motivation to carry on if you hit problems.

Whilst YourNetBiz does contain everything you need to succeed online there are 3 major issues to consider:

1. Where do I start? – there is so much to learn, when you start, that where to start is the issue! Working with a six figure mentor allows you to partner with someone who knows.

2. What do I learn first?– if you adopt the approach of learning everything before you start you will never start. Again a six figure mentor may be prepared to work with you, on a step by step basis, so that you develop the relevant skills at the appropriate time.

3. How do I stay motivated?- I’m sure we’ve all struggled to learn a new skill at some time. You have the manual, video, audio and so on and yet you still encounter roadblocks along the way! Then you’re stuck, frustrated and feel like giving up. Having access to a six figure mentor can eliminate roadblocks, keeps you on track and build your motivation as you see your business building quickly.

Having experienced starting out as an Internet Marketer myself, and trying to go it alone, I can tell you its tough! Most successful Internet Marketers have had help from someone, at some time.

For me the best tip I ever had was this – “find someone who is successful at what it is you want to do and just copy them!”

One of the common disadvantages of working from home is that you are physically alone throughout the majority of the day, or have no other adults around who can help you to become motivated whenever you feel a bit flat. When you work in an office situation, there is always someone else around whom you can bounce ideas off and chat with to become enthusiastic about your work again, but when you work from home; you can feel quite alone when you are feeling uninspired about your work.

This is why you need to stay connected with other people when you work from home. Here are five ways you can stay connected and increase your own motivation.

The Advantages of having a Coach

A life or business coach can really help you when you need additional drive to get your business going. A coach can help you to set realistic goals and can provide the inspiration or encouragement you need to reach those goals. Everyone has days when everything seems a bit flat and you don’t feel as creative as you want to be. Talking with your business coach could be just the medicine you need to get back on track to meet your business goals.

Participate in Online Forums

When you are sitting in front of your computer at home staring at a blank screen in desperation, remember there are thousands of people around the world who have experienced similar sensations. Connecting with an online community in a forum can give you the help and support you need to keep going with your small business. You can get helpful advice and even just knowing that you are not alone can help you to feel better.

Tweet Your Way to Success

Twitter is a great way to stay connected in this online world. Tweets are short to write, so you do not have to spend much time to stay connected with other small business entrepreneurs, but the connection can give you a lift just when you need it most. Sending or receiving an uplifting message of inspiration will help you to stay motivated.

Meet with Your Mentor

Sometimes, it can be inspiring to meet or chat with your mentor or a close friend. If you have a business mentor or someone who is mentoring you in your personal life, it can be inspiring to meet with your mentor for support and encouragement. Connect with the people who you know can inspire you to achieve greater things and who will help you to get over your current slump.

Read Your Way to Inspiration

Finally, you can motivate yourself by reading inspirational words from other successful entrepreneurs. There are thousands of motivational self-help resources available including websites, books, CDs and DVDs. Find a book or website that you always find stimulating and bookmark the pages that will provide motivation to succeed. Whenever you feel down, go back to your inspirational source and read your way to renewed enthusiasm.

Whenever you work from home, as many small business entrepreneurs do, it can be difficult to stay motivated by yourself all the time. Making efforts to stay connected with your various support people in your network, both online and offline can make the difference between business success and business failure.
