postheadericon More Noble Than Money

As the owner of one of the best home businesses , you may need this skill often.
 
As far as making money ideas involving skills, this is one of the best people skills to learn, like opting in to a dual-compensation-plan with your company is.
 
As the newspaper editor of our small weekly publication in Nenana, Alaska, never did an author request payment for their articles. In fact they all, without exception, insisted they did not want pay.
When first starting to publish the news in what had been an advertising flyer, the frustration of the added tasks really got to me. It was just too much work to sell and design ads, typeset and layout the paper, then distribute it.

Adding news was not one of the best ideas the financial picture, but the townspeople were hungry for any bits of local news that were available. 

An article in the issues published early on appealed to the nobler motives of our local talented community members.

The article asked them to contribute to the newspaper with their comments, happenings, and anything that might be of interest to our neighbors, so that we could all be more aware of what’s going on in our community.

The first writer was called by me, and even though he was not a reporter of current events, his writing entailed his experiences upon moving to our area of Alaska, and we got great feedback from these regular bits.

Miles of Alaska has gone on to become an artist, and a brilliant marketer of his wares on the world wide web, one the best small business ideas for your own business, as the “web” is highly cost effective in marketing.

As others saw that Miles was getting lots of attention, more people came on board with their contributions.

Appealing to local authors was one of the more excellent small business ideas during the ten years that the Nenana Messenger News existed.

Of the regular writers who contributed each week for years and years, one was a business expert, the other an excellent human interest writer, and three great purveyors of the faiths they believed in, sought me out and volunteered to contribute every week.

Karen Harvey’s human interest stories of our local people were fantastic.

Two local faith based leaders, Virginia Young and Tim Horn, taught all of us a little about the B’a Hai faith. The Minnema family with their strong faith based beliefs, taught us much about how they deal with everyday life, using their Christian ideals.

Give Sympathy and Follow Through on the best home businesses For You
 
While running with the ball of one of my best home businesses that of interviewing a local merchant for more publicity for her business on my blog, she was not the most receptive, even though to be viewed in your own business environment should be good publicity.
 
Keep in mind she works many more hours in her business, a general store, than many work in this town of ours. 
 
Keeping up with her work hours is not something most home business owners that have a dual compensation plan have to do as they have the income without quite so many hours.
 
We were talking the subject over on the phone, she was thinking out loud about why she just was too busy to add one more thing to do.
 
  “I’m so busy, I have a meeting after we close at six, tomorrow I have to go to Fairbanks, and that takes away a whole day, and I still have my regular work to do,” she said.
 
 I listened and agreed, saying “You don’t have much time for extras, especially when you run your own business,” and it’s true!
 
She is a very busy lady, working nine to six, six days a week, and Sunday she is the Deacon at our church. She has multiple other volunteer and sports events she attends, also.
 
 
 Then she said she just didn’t know if she could take the time to come over and be interviewed, “You just don‘t leave your own business unattended“, she said, even though I know she has other help in place.
 
Well, that was my opening. It was never my intention to take her away from the store.
 
“I’d never take you away from your own business”, I said, “Besides, it’d be a better interview with you shown in your own business”.
 
I let her know that she did not have to move a muscle, that I would come over, interview her while she continued with her paperwork, and be out of her way in a few minutes.
 
She was delighted and agreed. I followed through on my promises, not delaying her work any more than one of her little pre-school customers who came in with her Dad to say hi while they were in the store.
 
She deserves a little sympathy, if not more, for all that she does.
I think I may be learning by osmosis, because I’d not yet read the chapter “What Everybody Wants” in Dale Carnegie’s “How to Win Friends and Influence People” when that conversation took place.

postheadericon In Your Best Small Business Ideas, See the Others Point of View

Awhile back, a few years ago, as an active board member of Nenana Valley Chamber of Commerce, and owner of one of mybest home businesses, my making money ideas revolved around bringing more business into our community, economic development.

 
 Others seemed to agree and we worked on various ideas to support that train of thought. The small group became involved and came up with the best small business ideas for promoting tourism. 

We thought that using these small business ideas to promote more visitors touring our town, would benefit our businesses.

The various tour bus companies and independent travelers who arrived by highway would spend money at our shops, and everyone would be happy.

Then, one of our esteemed board members, one of the most creative, an artist with many small business ideas, brought up an idea from another viewpoint. This is what entrepreneur Miles Martin of Miles of Alaska had to say.

“In your own business, and most other businesses in this town, the idea is fine. But what about those people who moved here or who have lived here because there aren’t too many people, strangers, wandering around?

I’ve been to other meetings where people say they don’t want the town to grow. They like that we have a small town, no big box stores or busy streets.

They want their children to be able to walk to our one store without worrying about speeding cars running them down. They like the peace and quiet.”

That was the first time we’d gotten a point of view that opposed our ideas, and we all agreed with Miles, that before moving forward, we needed to meet with community members, and not just restrict our conversations to those who own businesses.

One savvy and creative business member, Miles Martin, took the time to seek out other people’s opinions on our small business ideas.

Miles may have saved a lot of hard feelings from the townspeople who don’t own their own business, or care that we may have had the best small business ideas around.

In your own business, it is wise to “Try honestly to see things from the others point of view,” as Dale Carnegie states in the chapter entitled “A Formula That Will Work Wonders For You” in his timeless book geared toward helping your own business, “How to Win Friends & Influence People”.

postheadericon The Best Small Business Ideas for The Best Home Businesses

Take an idea for the best home businesses or an action of your own, plant it in someone else’s mind, and let them translate the idea into their own concept.
 
making money ideas that encourage return customers sometimes can be planted into the client‘s psyche.
 
For most of my life my hairstyle has been at the mercy of stylists trying their best to match my wants with their skills.
 
Instead of seeing my vision, they inevitably looked at my current hair’s appearance, and the unstylish rest of me,
 
and came up with a much plainer, version of the hairstyle in the photo.
 
Certainly not the image you’d want for your own business.
 
 The past two visits to two different hairstylists have had radically different results.
 
 The first of the two visits, my photos were two wildly different hairstyles, one platinum and sleek, the other, dark
 
brunette and curly. Both styles were short.The end result, was a little shorter than was asked for, but with the much
 
 desired “attitude” of the more fashion forward crowd, those in businesses that often utilize the best small business
 
ideas, a group of small businesses that have small business ideas that I aspire to.

Showing the stylist the photos, and saying that a style with “attitude” was the “do” expected, we started.

She then suggested different ways to go and came up with her own version of the cut.

 That style lasted for several months. A new hair stylist was needed because the former stylist decided take her small

business ideas to a different level, specializing in manicures.

The new stylist, when presented with several options, concentrated for a few seconds and agreed. I then asked for
 
suggestions to make the cut look better on me.
 
This stylist went even further, telling me that we would play it by ear, and she would ask me for direction in each
 
section of my hair cut.
 
Each time she asked me for direction, I would reverse the question, asking her which she thought would look better,
 
 and so it went until she was done.
My hair hasn’t looked this stylish and fashion forward since the eighties.

 

This technique worked so well, I hadn’t thought about using it in other situations since reading Dale Carnegie’s

“How to Win Friends and Influence People”, in the chapter “How to Get Cooperation”.

 

 

This lends a whole new concept when planning your own business and trying out the making money ideas .
 
Use it on your banker, to ensure financing or other banking services.
 
Use it for brainstorming small business ideas, asking your partner, friends or spouse for input on their ideas.
 
Genius in concept, takes aforethought to pull off, so do a little pre-planning until you get this technique honed to
 
a sharp business skill comparable to the best small business ideas.
