{Angel TV} 3 Income Strategies to Ease the Entrepreneur's Struggle

When you are still in your infancy stages of business and cash flow is an issue, it's hard to grow your
business when you are always worried about money. This also hurts you in the long run, because that desperation lowers your money vibration which makes attracting money into your business extremely difficult.

 So here are the 3 Income Strategies to Ease the Entrepreneur's Struggle of getting money in the door without sacrificing your long term goals. Implement these strategies into your business model, and you will change you financial outcome instantly.

 Income Strategy #1: Instant Cashflow/ Safety Money

The Instant Cashflow strategy is the easiest way you can bring money into your business or life in a matter of weeks. This strategy is all about feeling safe and secure, which we all want, especially with out money. You need regular money coming in each month so you don't have to feel worried, desperate or fear that your car payment won't be sent in on time or that your rent is going to be late. Making sure your bills are paid on time and that you still "have a life" is a very crucial step in growing your business. Don't let having "no money" prevent you from not being able to grow your business. Get a part-time job, or better yet book 2-3 workshops each money (every month!) to assure your safety money is taken care of.

Income Strategy #2: Signature Product or Service

The Signature Product or Service strategy is your main offering to your customers and clients. Having too many products or services on your menu may confuse your potential clients while you are still growing your business. Having a main "signature" program/product makes it a no brainer for them and better yet it makes it simple for you especially when you are out and about, perhaps at a networking event. You have the ability to think very clearly about the one offering you have that positions YOU as the expert to solving their product. Often, entrepreneur's fall in love with the "bright shiny object" syndrome which can be lethal. We think MORE is MORE, when actually More is More Confusing. Keeping your products and services to a minimum when your business is still in its infancy stages will make making money so much easier and faster!

Income Strategy #3: Long Term Plan

You Long Term Plan is absolutely one of the most crucial strategies in your business income strategies. Without a long term plan you'll be swimming around in circles wondering why your Net Income isn't increasing or why you're feeling a little bored in your business. However, a long term income strategy can be the most difficult to implement because time is of the essence. You have to put aside time every single week, and I mean a minimum of 5 hours per week to work on your long term goals. This might mean you have to reduce TV time or extra curricular activities for awhile. When you are a serious entrepreneur you know that your long term goals are actually your ticket to financial freedom. And yes you guessed it, your long term plan is usually the biggest money maker. If you currently don't have a long term plan in place, it's time to sit down with your journal and write it out. Then each week set aside time to work on them. Your bank account will thank you in the long run!

{Angel TV} 10 Signs Your Business is About to Take Off

In this video you will learn my 10 signs you should be looking out for to find out if your business is about to boom! I realize there are probably numerous signs that one could lean towards when determining if their business is about to tip, but I have found that these ten are what I noticed in my own business.

1) You receive not-so-nice emails. 

Disgruntled emails from anyone is annoying, but look on the bright side, it just means your business is about to tip. Hiring an assistant might resolve this problem altogether, but don't worry if one passes your path. There will always be rude people on your road to success. Always handle these with extreme professionalism (then talk to a friend to say what you really think!)

2) You receive extremely nice fan mail. 

This makes business fun, exciting, and very motivating! Whether it's praise about your blog posts, replies to your ezine, fan page comments, or twitter replies, people are taking notice about what you're doing and speaking up! Keep up the good work and your business is on the verge of booming!

3) You have spoken on stage about your business. 

At least once you have been on stage talking about your business. Talking on stage is the quickest way to grow you business. If you haven't got in front of an audience that needs what you have to offer, you might be on the slow track to growing your business. Book a speaking engagement and watch how quickly your business grows.

4) You've teamed up with other entrepreneurs. 

You've done at least 2-3 joint ventures, meaning you and another business owner put your heads together to create a killer marketing plan, product, or other valuable collaboration to enhance your business. When people are reaching out to you to do JV partnerships, that's a real sign you are becoming in high demand.

5) You receive lots of friend requests, followers, etc. 

You are becoming quite popular in social media and it shows by the amount of fans, followers, connections, and friend requests. Lots of new connections doesn't always equate success, but if combined with several of these other 9 signs, you are well on your way.

6) Your mailing list is growing quickly. 

What once felt like a snail pace for visitors to opt-in to your mailing list, now feels like it has stamina. Either you have a really great free goodie or people are really resonating with your personality and brand. Whatever it is, be sure to build that relationship once they are on that list. Your tribe will continue to fall in love with you.

7) You notice a few copycats. 

While noticing copycats in your industry might feel annoying at first, it's actually a compliment. It really just means that someone really likes how you present yourself, your products, and branding. Copycats are a sure sign your business is getting recognized.

8) You get clients by referral. 

Back in the day you were knocking on a lot of doors, or even cold calling to get business, but now your business mostly comes from referrals. That means you are solving a problem that many people need solved, and what's even better is your colleagues, past clients, and friends know you are fantastic at your job.

9) You adore your brand. 

Actually, you LOVE your brand. You love what you've created visually and spiritually-- because it represents you and your mission. Being in love with what you bring to the table and how that's shaping the world is a sure sign you're headed for success.

10) You come from a place of YES, but you know when to say NO. 

It can be very seducing to get caught up in the bright shiny object syndrome, but when your business is about to take off you really don't have time for those kinds of distractions anymore. Knowing your long term goals will set you up for success, so long as you pick and choose which projects (and people) you believe are a perfect match for your business.

{Angel TV} How to Build Business Credit in 10 Days or Less

Despite what some people would say, building your business DOES take money. It doesn't have to take a lot of money, but there will be things that you need to purchase in order to thrive in your industry. Whether you need to hire a marketing coach, a virtual assistant, or purchase a new laptop, you're going to need capital to help you take your business to the next level.

The information I will share with you in this video are 6 very simple steps to building your business credit in less than 10 days. If you're currently running your business on personal credit cards, let me remind you there is a much more effective way to build your business without using your personal credit. Here are 6 easy steps to building business credit so you never have to neglect the things you need to succeed in business or say, "I can't afford it."

Step#1: Incorporate Your Business

When you first filed your business, you may have applied as a Sole Proprietor. There are definite cons to only being a sole proprietor. This type of business doesn't protect you and your assets. When you become a corporation (C-Corp, S-Corp, or an LLC) you take the personal liability out of the equation. Despite what your lawyer or accountant has quoted you (usually well over $1000), you can easily and effortlessly incorporate your business inexpensively using www.incorporate.com to file your paperwork for just $79. Get your EIN number today, so you can apply for business credit.

Step#2: Apply for a Dun + Bradstreet Number

Just as you need to build your personal credit via TransUnion, Equifax, and Experian, applying for a DUNS number will help you build your business credit. For $229 you'll get your DUNS number in 3-5 days. This is how you get better (and higher) lines of credit. You can get a business credit card without a DUNS number, however you will get higher credit lines with one. Visit www.dnb.com for more information.

Step#3: Include Trade References

List your trade references in your DUNS account.

Step#4 Apply for Business Credit Card

Call American Express or another credit card company and tell them you want to apply for a business credit card. Do this over the phone. Don't fill out paperwork and mail it in or do it online. Calling is best. You will find out instantly if you are approved. Always make sure your creditor reports your good standing and timely payments to your business credit. If they don't report, you don't need them. Move onto another credit card company.

Step#5: Never Give Your Social Security Number Out EVER again!

Call the credit/bank you'd like to apply for a business credit card. Only provide them with your name, address, business corporation name, income, and your Employer Identification Number. If they ask for your social security number, tell them NO. If they require it to complete the application, hang up and call a different credit card company.

Step#6: Invest in YOU and Your Business

Now you have capital to purchase what you need to help you finance your business. You no longer need to mix your business finances with your personal finances. You now have access to capital that will allow you to fund your business and invest in personal development to help you stay on top.

Thinking like a leader will give you leadership results. Funding your business through personal credit card is still keeping one foot out the door. Take your business serious and you will see serious results!
