Hi,

I feel that the challenge for most people to make the transition from employee to business owner is that they are used to making money by showing up to work and getting a paycheck. That is how they have been preconditioned to make money so any other form of creating income to them just doesn't make sense to even bother with.

Some people would point out that there are many more people working,than are in business so why not just join the masses.
Business owners think very differently from employees. Business owners are in business for more than just money
This is probably one of the things most people fail to understand about business owners and entrepreneurs.
Money has never been the biggest motivator. Money pays the bills, puts food on the table, sends kids to school, and pays the mortgage, but it will not be a source of fulfilment and never will. Business owners end up going into business for themselves for a variety of different reasons. The most common ones are security, control of their time, lifestyle, efficiency and tax benefits.

For the very successful business owners their motivation is usually something that is emotional to them. It could be a dream or a goal they have for their life or maybe a vision for where they could see themselves ten or twenty years down the road.
Business owners are not scared of failure; they embrace it. They understand that failing is often the only way to learn in business especially if you have no mentor or coaching along the way.
Thomas Edison when first attempting to invent the light bulb stated about his failed attempts that he had not failed, but just found 10,000 ways that didn't work. That's ownership mentality. They understand the opposite of success is not failure, it's quitting.

Business owners are mentally tough and understand delayed gratification. This can be linked to the previous point about embracing failure as a friend. Business owners are in business for the long haul which is why the reward is even sweeter. The nature of any business is that profit is not something you should expect in the first two to five years. They do understand that if they can make it through the initial hump of failure then success is right around the corner. This once again goes back to the strong desire they have for getting into business.

Most people with a job mentality are very well-educated and as a result think that everything including making money should be complicated too. The truth is, however, that success in life is very simple. Anything you are consistent at long enough you will be successful at. Think about this for a second. We all know how to get six pack abs. If you don't, here's the formula: eat less and do sit-ups! The problem is none of us (well, most of us) never show up to the gym and stay away from fast food long enough to see the results we want.

It takes commitment to do the work!

So the challenge wasn't in the knowledge but in the work ethic and consistency involved to get the result. The same goes for business. Business owners can go without getting paid a check for years just to get their business off the ground. Most employees couldn't handle that stress which is why they show up every day to work with the hope that they can get paid for their time put in.
Business owners are also very careful who or what they let into their heads. This is not to say that they are arrogant, but they understand their mind is the most important thing they have. Charlie "Tremendous" Jones is quoted as saying that "Who you will be in the next five years will be a culmination of two things: the people you associate with and the books you read". Most of us if we have a reading habit can control that half of the equation, but people are a little tougher. And usually, family and friends have the biggest influence on the way we think.
Most employees if you take a look at their family probably have parents that are also still working, their grandparents worked, their great-grandparents worked, their cousins, siblings, aunts, pets, EVERYBODY had or has a job. No wonder they think the way they do about creating income.
Business owners however, understand that when it comes to making money, you cannot learn anything from someone who does not have what you want. If you are driven by financial independence and security, then taking advice from someone who is driven by benefits is not going to help you. Be careful who you listen to. As a rule of thumb take a look and see if they are in life where you want to be in the future. If the answer is no, then run!

I hope this helps.

Well chosen keywords and phrases will ensure that your ad is found by the right people looking for products and services just like yours.
Keywords and phrases should be highly specific and relevant to your business.

Google rewards relevance. So your keywords should tie in directly with your ad copy and your website. When someone types your keywords into Google, they should be looking for a business exactly like yours. As a result, those people that click on your ad will already be predisposed towards joining or purchasing from you.

You have to put yourself in your customers’ shoes. If they are searching for a product or service like yours, which words and phrases would they type into Google?
You need to tie it all together, your keywords and phrases should be closely linked to the wording in your advert and that in turn should match exactly the words and phrases you use on your website and on your landing page.

You must be specific and targeted. Avoid using terms or words that are too general. Don’t be tempted to add keywords that are not related to your ad but that generate lots of traffic, many of the people you attract won’t be interested in your product or service anyway.
Single keywords are often too generic whereas two or three-word phrases are usually more targeted. For instance, ‘organic vegetable box delivery’ is a specific phrase that will attract anyone that wants to buy their organic veg direct and have it delivered to their door. Using these keywords separately or in other combinations may be far less successful.
Use different variations. Your prospects may use different terms for your particular product or service. So always list variations in your keywords. These might include colloquial terms, synonyms (such as shop and store), product names and serial numbers, alternative spellings as well as singular and plural versions. You can even list common misspellings.
Use Google’s keyword tool to get ideas for keywords and expand your list. All you have to do is submit a keyword or URL and choose relevant and high-ranking words from the results. Once the tool has generated some initial ideas, you can then enter the best words and phrases to drill down and generate even more specific ideas.
You can also use the Website Content option to find the most relevant keywords from your own website. If you have a lot of keywords, it can be a good idea to create separate campaigns based on a few tightly-focused keywords.

Another good free resource is the AdWords Help Tool. It shows a list of relevant user queries that have occurred on Google.com, based on your URL.

Google also offers four ways to match keywords: broad, phrase, exact and negative match. Use of punctuation when you input your keywords indicates which type of matching you want.
Broad match is Google’s default setting for all keywords. Your ads may be triggered when someone searches for any words that include your keywords.
So if for example your keywords are ‘garden design and maintenance’ then your ad may appear if someone types in ‘garden maintenance’. Some variations such as synonyms (shop/store, for instance) and singular and plural forms may also trigger your ads. You do not have to use any kind of punctuation to specify that a keyword is broad-matched.
Phrase match is more tightly targeted. Your ad will only appear when someone types in a phrase that contains your entire keyword phrase— ie ‘garden design and maintenance’. So if someone types in ‘urban garden design and maintenance’, your ad will be triggered. Use quotation marks to indicate that your “keywords” need to be phrase-matched.
Exact match goes one step further. Searches must be identical to your keyword phrase. To get an exact match put your [keyword phrase] in square brackets. With exact match, you may get higher click through rates (CTRs) as you only appear when searches are specifically relevant to your business.
Particularly important is the use of “negative” keywords, it is a useful way to stop irrelevant searches triggering your ad. Add a minus sign before a keyword so that it is specifically excluded. So for example, if you were a garden designer using the keyword phrase ‘garden design’ you could add ‘–book’ to ensure searches for gardening books don’t bring up your ad. Or, if you sell cameras but not camcorders you can make camcorders a negative keyword.
I hope this is of some use.
Best of luck with your advertising.

I don't believe that you can assure that the people you sponsor adopt the discipline of duplication. But you can do everything possible to make this the likely outcome of your daily, weekly and monthly mentoring to your team. The more structure you build into the processes that you use to guide and train your team, the easier it is for them to follow.
If it is easy to follow then you increase the likelihood of them adopting and duplicating this training whithin their downlines.

Hope this helps.
