How Does Scrabble’s Strategies Relate to Your Home Business Job Opportunity Success?

Friday, February 19th, 2010

Scrabble for most seems like you are just spelling words for points to outscore your opponent(s).  I did just that when I started playing many years ago. A strong vocabulary at face value would seem like the best way to win at this game.  If I got a “q” without a “u” I sweated something fierce. The thought of getting stuck with a 10 point “q” in your hand could be the difference between winning and losing a game.  Scrabble for those of you who have never played before the board has “double letter score”, “triple letter score”, “double word score” and “triple word score” to boost your score significantly.  These premium squares along with mastering two and three letter words are keys to getting a higher score in Scrabble.  When I went from just spelling words to using the strategies mentioned below my score and games I won increased significantly.

This reminds me of when I first started in my home business job opportunity I was like a sponge soaking up as much information that I could get my hands on.  I was on as many webinar as possible gaining knowledge from many different people.  I developed my business like if the more knowledge I learn the better it would be for my home business job opportunity, very similar to the initial way I started to play Scrabble.  I only found myself investing in concepts that never got my business off the ground.

An example of this was purchasing leads from different lead sources. I also brought into following the “experts” until I realized that most “experts” were just trying to sell inferior products.  I now follow and purchased from people who give me tremendous value in their teachings and products, amazingly most of the knowledge gained is free. I learned from my mistakes and like Scrabble I developed different strategies. I am at a point in Scrabble that I have no problem having a “q” without a “u”.  I now maximize the points that I may receive from the tiles I have in my hand at all times.

I reversed what I was doing in my home business job opportunity instead of just blanket marketing I focused on my target market.  Like Scrabble, I have gained so much experience after playing several games that I am now an expert at the game.  I started using different marketing strategies that allowed me to attract the ideal person who would join my home business job opportunity.  My income generating activities are based on a 1 degree adjustment on a daily basis to generate the necessary traffic I need.  My long term strategy in Scrabble is to continuously increase my vocabulary and look even harder for the most effective use of my premium tiles.  The best way to get even better is to play as often as possible just like in my home business job opportunity.

The keys to making your home business job opportunity successful is continuously and never ending commitment to improving your income generating activities and following the right mentors. The correlation between the strategies of Scrabble and that of a home business are very similar in nature.  These strategies may be applied to make you an expert at Scrabble and your home business job opportunity.

What Do Chutes And Ladders Teach Us About Running a Home Internet Business Opportunity?

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

The simple act of playing a board game as a child could teach us tremendous concepts about running your home internet business opportunity.  One of my favorite game as a child was Chutes and Ladders where your goal was to reach the top of the board.  The person who got to the top first was the winner.  There were certain pitfalls or rewards that you could receive or be penalized.  You could either land on a square that took you closer to your goal as you traveled up the board.  The alternative was landing on a square that made you slide down the chutes or further away from your goal.  You either moved towards your goal very rapidly or very slowly.  The speed that we get closer to our goals in our home internet business opportunity is determined by a number of different factors.  The amount of targeted traffic that you generate to your website or blog is critical to your growth.

Google is always watching your website or blog and the activity of your blog or website to rank it appropriately.  SEO marketing is a method that is more towards slowly ranking your website while PPC marketing is for getting a more rapidly ranked website or blog.  The method that you use is dependent on your preference.  Chutes and Ladders can bring you very close to giving up and starting all over when you slide down a chute.  The actual throwing of the die determines whether you go up or down. Google can knock you back with a slap and the way you respond determine whether your home internet business opportunity will succeed or not.  Pitfalls versus rewards are evenly distributed on the Chutes and Ladders game board, but in real life you might encounter more pitfalls.  Rewards might come more few and far between so being persistence is very important in being successful in your home internet business opportunity.

The risk of not continuing for some people outweighs the possible rewards of succeeding in their home internet business opportunity.  Real life dictates that sometimes the risk is overwhelming while the reward is few and far between.  Chutes and Ladders does teach us about goal setting and achieving our objectives no matter the pitfalls.  The other alternative is reaching the top where you neither went up the ladder nor slide down the chute.  Does this make your journey less valid?
