Don't Let Your Business Fly South for the Winter

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.
