What is the Best Home Based Business?

I have began a new series of short video trainings over at my Live Stream channel at JamesHolmes.tv. Today, I posted two extensive answers to a couple of great quesitons on the subject of establishing and marketing a home based business. I have posted a video recording of my reply here and I encourage you to take notes as I share a few critical success factors to ensure your success.

Here is the Question from Leslie, my visitor:

“What is the best home based business out there? A home based business with a low start up cost and be able to make a good living…no inventory to keep, no selling, using my computer.” – Leslie A
Here is Leslie’s Answer:

The is a little and occassional audio cracking in the first few minutes of the video… it is not your computer. 

I will be conducting this sessions on a weekly basis, so please feel free to submit your questions by visiting http://www.AnswersJunction.com I am working on a continual live stream concept and in the meantime these sessions are not based on a set schedule. I will post to my social media network with a little advance notice prior to each session and will also make video recording available at my video channel.

I am here to help you succeed in business and life!

Richard Branson Another Remarkable Chapter

If you are a regular reader of my blog you may have seen prior post and videos I have shared featuring Sir Richard Branson. I am a great admirer of his entrepreneurial spirit and his accomplishments as the original Maverick Entrepreneur.

Richard Branson started from nothing and since his late teens has taken the risk and made necessary sacrifices to emerge as one of the most innovative and wealthy self starters of all time. He has become a billionaire as a result of hard work coupled with creativity and a flare that has made him very popular and love around the world. Along the way he has given away millions and helped thousands of people better their lives. Richard Branson’s causes are as big as his vision and imagination including ending poverty, saving the environment, furthering space exploration, and much more.

His home will be rebuilt and according to Mr. Branson… even better than before. The true loss was the journals, photographs, and other irreplaceable documents which chronicled the career that has spanned many decades, cultures, and industries. By God’s grace no one was injured and for that all of us as human beings can collectively extend our gratitude to everyone involved. I wanted to pause for a moment and share a few thoughts to consider.

If you are not familiar with Sir Richard, here is an insightful interview recorded March 2007 during a TED Conference and the interview holds several key business and life lessons. The interview is 29:55 in length and worth every minute. If you seek to learn how a billionaire thinks, how to extend a brand, and understand the rewards of taking risk – this interview is for you.

Born in 1950 and educated at Stowe School were he founded his first venture Student magazine at the age of sixteen.

With around 200 companies in over 30 countries, the Virgin Group has now expanded into leisure, travel, tourism, mobile, broadband, TV, radio, music festivals, finance and health and through Virgin Green Fund Mr. Branson is investing in renewable energy and resource efficiency.

In closing

I owe much of my successes in life to developing a discipline to study successful people and a strong desire to understand how they think. I encourage you to do the same. Please take a few moments to scroll down to the bottom of this post and share your comments. I would love to read your thoughts and I would also be curious to know who has inspired you.
