Work at Home Business Lessons From A Friend
A former colleague of mine, I’ll call him Chris, responded to an advertisement titled “work at home: home business opportunity” and ventured into the world of home businesses with the hope that he will take advantage of the growing trend and make his dream lifestyle a reality.He soon became a statistic – he joined the 90% group of home business workers who failed in their endeavours and finally quit. So what could Chris have been done differently to alter his market place results? What could he have done to move him from the 90% group of failures to the coveted 10% category?In this article I will look critically at Chris’ work practices to pick out two of the many nuggets that the wisdom of hindsight provides.Lesson #1: Separating the Chaff From The WheatThe internet is filled with a lot of information which my friend Chris was not able to adequately sort through. He got bombarded left, right and centre such that he got overwhelmed by the sheer volume of what is available on the internet.Every opportunity looked like ‘the’ one and he found himself joining one program after another. He did not allow enough time for any of these ventures to produce results he desired before moving on to the next.Does that mean there is no legitimate and profitable’ work at home, home business opportunity’ that one can operate? Far from it, there are some really excellent opportunities out there.You only need to know what to look out for in order to separate the chaff from the wheat and concentrate on the good, business opportunities.This research phase is very critical to the success of your home business endeavours. You need a checklist for evaluating every work at home: home business opportunity before you make a commitment one way or the other.For example, I personally check the quality and the existing demand for a product before I even consider getting involved in the business. If both if these are not up to scratch then, frankly, I am not interested – I move on to the next opportunity.It is very important to offer high quality goods and services. You want to offer good value for money because your customers deserve it.There are at least 7 things that I look out for before deciding on whether to join a venture or not.Lesson #2: Don’t Believe the Hype Chris certainly got carried away by all the hype and the endless promises of getting rich quick that his ‘work at home: home business opportunity’ advertisement promised.Like so many others before him, he was led to believe that he could get away with putting in little or no effort into his online business and still have great results. He was also of the opinion that once he had a system in place he could relax and the system would do all the work and the money would roll in automatically. Sounds familiar?Far from it – succeeding in your online business venture, just like any other, requires a lot of work and dedication, especially at the start. It also requires a lot of testing and tweaking afterwards in order to produce optimal results and ultimately to achieve autopilot status.No online business becomes a success overnight.Choosing the product, I must say is the easy part; the challenge comes from getting others to know your business exists. Driving traffic to your website, for example is one of the key skills you need to learn and master in order to succeed.In other words, you business needs to be nurtured from inception to the point that it can stand on its own feet. This takes effort and sometimes a lot of it especially at the start when you are learning the ropes on how to make that work at home: home business opportunity a success.

More Heavy Machinery Job Opportunities Coming to the New Zealand Automotive Industry
This year was a particularly difficult one for the automotive recruitment industry and this was reflected in the falling away of employment opportunities in this sector right across the board.However, recent figures show that confidence is rising in virtually all sectors of the motor industry, with the forestry sector for heavy machinery coming in very strongly on the job market. This is reflected in the steadily increasing numbers of jobs becoming available in the automotive industry.This is good news all round for anyone looking for mechanics jobs, car sales jobs etc and recent comments in this sector give a sense of optimism that there may be ‘some light at the end of the tunnel”. This may be due to the fact that several large road construction projects are due to start in the new year, meaning more automotive recruitment all round.Data recently released, shows significant growth in new areas of the employment market which matches reports of growth in emerging New Zealand motor industry jobs. More good news for the automotive sector is the effect of the recent Fonterra payouts to the farming sector. This, in turn, will prove a boon to the local farm machinery companies, resulting in more job opportunities with these companies.Interestingly, there has been a turnaround by New Zealand Immigration’s ‘shortages list’ to include Automotive Technicians, which gives even more reason for optimism that this sector of the job market has an even brighter outlook, with rising numbers of new job advertisements, forty-five percent higher than at the same time last year.So, taking all of this into consideration, it would appear that automotive employment opportunities are on the up and up. This is good news indeed for all sectors of automotive recruitment, whether it be in industry (private and public works), farming or car sales.Regarding the industrial sector, it is reported that there has been a steady increase in heavy automotive and equipment vacancies, which could increase exponentially as the automotive employment opportunities in general continue to rise.
