Coronavirus | "The Truth About Working From Home In 2020 & Beyond"

Coronavirus | "The Truth About Working From Home In 2020 And  Beyond"
For the first time in many years, the Work From Home buzz has started all over again.   Over the last 30 days, there have been over 450,000 searches on google for Work at Home jobs.  I expect that trend to continue from now well into the future.
If you found this article through a google search, or someone shared it with you, I promise you, you are going to get much more than you bargained for.
If you are a mom or dad who has been working in the corporate world, are you really excited about returning to this?


Or this?







What do you think the number one benefit of having a business at home is?

I usually get answered like:

-freedom
-control my own schedule
-more time with family and children
-sense of accomplishment
-work harder and make more money
Etc. Etc. Etc.
However what you will discover if you start down this path is the TAX SAVINGS.   We have all heard, “it is not how much you make, but how much you keep”.
Please understand I am not a CPA so get your tax advice from a licensed professional however a home business is the very best tax shelter in the world.

The moment you start your business you can take some or all of your normal everyday living expenses and convert them to tax deductions. 
=========================================

 Here are just a few.

Advertising
All of your advertising expenses can be tax-deductible, such as printing flyers, business cards, Google Adwords, Facebook Ads, etc. You can even deduct expenses paid for PR and marketing agencies.
Travel Expenses
Do you travel to attend your business meetings or conferences? If so, then the expenses associated with transportation and lodging are also deductible. When it comes to corporate trips, your airfare, 50% of meal costs, and hotel charges can be noted down as business expenses. 
Even if you increase the duration of your trip after the completion of your business commitment you can include your travel costs in your business expenditure. But, make sure the number of personal days on the trip doesn’t surpass the total amount of business days.
Remember, travel expenses for your family (spouse or children) are not deductible unless they are accompanying you for a legal business purpose.
Home Office Expenses
If you have a home office, you can also list these expenses for tax deductions. Here how:
  • Fill out theForm 8829 to list down the expenses associated with using and optimizing your home office.
  • Remember to include both direct expenses, such as renovations and office equipment and indirect expenses, like insurance and utilities.

Insurance
As an independent contractor, you’re not eligible to be on your employer’s health insurance plan. But, luckily your health insurance expenses like, medications and premiums, are tax-deductible. Your business insurance expenses can be deducted too, so don’t let the cost hold you back from having the right contractors insurance!
The insurance you need depends on what type of contractor you are. 
Finding the right coverage for your business can be daunting, turn to a reputable insurance provider for advice better yet consult a competent attorney in your area.

Phone/Cable/Internet Charges
Essential business utilities, like your cell phone bill, can also be deducted from you 1099. Even if you use your home phone or mobile for both personal and professional use, you can note down the portion of your cell phone bill for business. Also internet bill and cable bill (for research) can possibly be deducted.
UTILITIES
A portion of your utilities can be deducted electric, gas, utilities, and even trash pick-up or rent.

Licenses and Taxes
You can deduct any business certifications, licenses, and regulatory charges you pay for your business, such as incorporation charges and small business licenses for your state. In certain cases, some types of taxes are deductible as well, including:
  • Local and state sales taxes–only for good or services sold
  • Payroll taxes– this only applies if you have employees
  • Federal highway use tax
  • Property taxes on company assets
Interest
If you charge your company expenses on a credit card, the portion of the interest payments can be listed as company expenditures, and are therefore tax-deductible. Keep in mind that there is a specific limit to the deductibility of this interest.
Other Additional Expenses
There are several other basic yet essential costs that are often overlooked and undervalued by most independent contractors. Some of these common deductions include:
  • Debt
  • Expenses for defending or acquiring trade names and trademarks
  • Start-up costs of the business including product samples
The Bottom Line
These are just some tax deductions for independent contractors. You should be aware of these in order to decrease your taxable income. Of course, you should always contact your accountant or tax advisor before you claim any of these tax deductions.
When you figure the wear and tear on your car, the clothes, meals, and childcare expenses most families have when they have jobs outside the home, a home based business makes more sense, simply because of the tax benefits if nothing else.

THE BEST BUSINESS MODEL IN

THE WORLD.
If you have read to this point, my fear is that I will lose all credibility with what I am getting ready to share with you. 
Please hear me, I understand, and I don’t blame you. I 100% understand why you feel that way.  Honestly, I don’t blame you.  
Truth be known, I have a real love/hate relationship with this business model.

So I think it may be better to open your mind, and hear it from Robert Kiyosaki instead of me, and when Mr. Kiyosaki is finished I will share some comments.
THE PERFECT BUSINESS


ROBERT KIYOSAKI

I sincerely believe that network marketing is the most mis-understood business model in the world. Not by those outside this niche, but by those INSIDE IT.

The bad publicity the profession has received over the last few years has been for the most part well deserved. But there is a tremendous amount of mis-information in and outside the profession.

RELATED: "How to Deal With Negative Friends & Family Who Hate or ( Don't Understand or Failed) At Network Marketing"

There is the number one opportunity, and only one right now in the market place that can recommend in good conscious, and quite frankly I sincerely believe that this is one of the best, if not the best program I have seen in over 20 years in this profession. 
You can click here to learn more if you would like.

Network Marketing is a 3-5 year game plan if you have great mentorship, are part of a great company, and you are teachable and have an above average work ethic.

Not to mention you must be involved with the right company at the right TIME in historyIf all those things don’t line up it is still a great business model for beginning entrepreneurs to start their entrepreneurial journey.


The names of big time entrepreneurs who got their start in network marketing goes on and on. The power of network marketing is that if you build it right, and you find the right company you really can develop Legacy income that can be passed down to your children and your grandchildren.

There is no business model in the world that provides the you the opportunity to create time and the money to enjoy it that even comes close to network marketing.

I have a real love/hate relationship with the profession.


 It absolutely changed my life, and I will be forever thankful. I love the business model, I despise what it has become.
At the time of this writing, I accept several speaking engagements a month for companies, and sales and marketing organizations. 
This month they were both changed to online events. Anyway about 1/2 of them are for direct sales or network marketing organizations. 
I am an example of someone who has lived the network marketing dream. 
For the right person, there is simply no better business model on the planet.

However all the * stars * must line up

* Right Company at RIGHT TIME in history
* Right Mentorship Team
* You must be Teachable
* You must have and Above Average Work Ethic
* You must understand this a 3-5 year game plan of dedicated focused work.

*At ANY given time there is ONE BEST Network Marketing Opportunity in The Market!
*There are 4 IMPORTANT Factors that you MUST look at.

"Drop Card Marketing | How to Build ANY Business Using $100 Bill Drop Cards"


"Drop Card Marketing | How to Build ANY Business Using $100 Bill Drop Cards" 
One of my very favorite offline tactics is advertising with drop cards

When I first got exposed to them I thought they were cheesy but once I realized I could use them in many, many different ways, I completely changed my mind about them and decided they were very effective (and easy and fun) for building My Businesses

Toward the end of this article I will reveal exactly how you can use them to close 20 New Deals A Month In ANY Business!

This sounds great but what the heck is a Drop Card? 

drop card , some people call them a sizzle card, is a small business card that when folded looks like a hundred or twenty dollar bill. 



These have historically been used to “drop” on the ground giving off the impression that someone dropped money on the ground thereby getting people walking by to react in funny and interesting ways to ensure no one sees them score some money that was dropped on the ground.

This article is going to talk about some ways to use drop cards that you may not have thought of.

The 5 Ways We Make Money As Real Estate Entrepreneurs

So What Should Be On The Dropcard? 

Well, if you are going to use these in a littering sort of way, like, throwing them on the ground everywhere you go, you do NOT want to have your phone number on them as you really don’t want to be spending your time fielding complaint calls.  

It is imperative that you have a good headline that will peak interest and your website minimum. 
  Here's a great example: 




 
7 Ways I Like to Use Drop Cards Effectively

#1 – In Planes 

I try to get on the plane as early as possible and place drop cards in the magazine slot in front of each and every seat. 

Or in the magazines or whatever other literature they have. You have a captive audience that is forced to sit there for hours and just might pick up those magazines. 

#2 – In Bookstores and Libraries 

This is one of my favorites. I will set an hour aside and go to the local Barnes and Noble, Books a Million or whatever and then select books I think my prospects would read. 

So think about what type of person would you want to work with?  
I like people that read Robert Kiyosaki, Zig Ziglar, Les Brown, Tony 
Robbins,  or really anything that talks about Real Estate Investing or Passive Income or Home Based Business is a prime target. 

RELATED: No Cash, No Credit: How to ALWAYS Leverage Other People’s Money in Real Estate Investing

I always teach people to place a few drop cards in each book.  You can do this at local libraries as well although I believe you increase the chances of getting busted at a library. I had someone ask me if this was legal, I highly doubt there is a law about reverse shoplifting but the bottom line is, I have worked with 100’s people using this strategy but if you aren’t comfy with it, don’t do it.

#3 – Waiting Rooms 
Another place where you have a captive audience, waiting rooms and hair salons. They always have magazines there, take your drop cards and place them in as many magazines as possible. 

#4 – Restaurants 
When you are done eating at the restaurant and putting in that tip (make sure it is a nice tip or this will not work at all!) slide a drop card in there, I have sponsored quite a few people that work in the restaurant industry.  You may even preface the drop card by asking this killer pique interest question to the waiter or waitress, “Would you be interested in a side project if it didn’t interfere with your current job?” Who the heck would not say yes to that?!? 
drop cards 
#5 – Toll Booths 

Now you can also use CD’s or DVD’s for this tactic but the lowest cost way is to use a drop card.  

Next time you are pulling up to a toll booth, look in your rear view mirror and see what kind of car is behind you, if its a decent vehicle, pay for their toll and have the operator give the person behind you a drop card! The operator may even ask you for one! 

#6 – Newspaper Stands 

Another interesting one is buying a newspaper, pulling out all the newspapers and stuffing them with drop cards and putting them back in the stand. This one cracks me up, think about this though, if you were marketing for real estate, wouldn’t it make sense to put drop cards in all the apartment rental guides that are in these stands? 

Sometimes you have to think outside the box. 

#7 – Get Your Team To Duplicate 

Effectively using drop cards is a very easy skill to master. It doesn’t require talking to anyone and is very low cost

What if you got your entire team in Your Real Estate Business to duplicate this process? I am willing to bet that based on the results I have seen over the years that if you get your team of 10-12 or more people doing this tactic, your business will explode and then you get each and every new person to join in on the fun.

Remember, Building A Highly Profitable Business is not just about your efforts it is about getting your team to produce efficiently & consistently as well!

And if you are wondering do drop cards work? I can tell you that they absolutely do, thought they will probably never provide you with enough people to talk to build massive numbers.

But I have recruited 100’s of people over the years from advertising with drop cards and it’s pretty dang easy.  

Drop cards marketing using $100 Bill Drop Cards like the 1 below is pretty fun to do and you simply do it when you are out and about. We call it "lifestyle marketing"




If you do not have a place to purchase drop cards, you can get some of the best ones made by clicking HERE NOW!   

Be sure to share this very simple concept with your teammates and although this does NOT replace traditional prospecting, it sure is easy to consistently produce dozens of leads.
