OK.  You’ve made the decision to start off the new year with a home based business.  You’ve discovered your big WHY; set goals, and you now wonder;  “What tools do I need to build my home business?”    The answer is: Keep it simple!

The basic business success tools  are simple.  In this day and age of electornics and technology, a computer (laptop or desktop) is advantageous.  However, I have known many people working a home based business that do not own a computer and have been successful in their endeavors anyway.  It’s just a lot more effort without a computer. 

A phone with long distance service.  To duplicate your “simple” business, you’ll be using the phone as the major contact device.  Check with your phone service provider for availablity of “flat rate” long distance.  If your provider does not have a flat rate, many other long distance providers do.  That helps keep your overhead cost down.

Depending on the company you work with in your home business, many of them have brochures, audio CDs or online informational videos to inform your prospects of the goods and opportunity you are offereing.  Some of these tools are free and some have a minimal  cost.

A list of prospects; people you want to share your products and opportunity information with.  This can be your “warm market” (people you already know) or “cold market” (people you haven’t met but who want information).

And last, an appointment/organizer system to keep track of people you’ve spoken to,  follow-up appointments and notes on your daily activites.  Again, keep it simple.  You don’t need anything eleaborate; just a basic appointment book or tablet of paper, as long as you can stay organized.
