What is the biggest challenge to becoming a Homefinder?

Is it knowledge? No, because you can get the information you need and you can learn.

Is it money? No, becasue the investment needed can be tiny. It could just be the cost of a single phone call or just one stamp that gets you a job that can earn hundreds even £000's.

Is it time? Probably not as this can be done full or part time. It can be flexible.

So, what is it?

It's the leap. The biggest challenge is making the leap. The leap to go from what you are familiar with to something you have an interest in but are now going to rely on to pay for the mortgage, or schooling, or service other debts or just to help make ends meet.

To make that leap you need faith, you need belief, but most important of all you need a plan.

A plan that is mapped out in advance, one that once done you stick to.

Whether a large business or a "one man band" ALL businesses fail where they do not have a proper plan. A plan that:
- confirms your market (private client, corporate, both, builders, off plan sales etc)
- details how you will get the business (sales letters, exhibitions, networking, referrals, marketing)
- how you will deliver the business (service standards, car, time commitment, fees)
- how you get more business (new targets, more referrals, direct mail etc)
- your route to market (direct, indirect, referrals, other channels)
-what you charge (by service, when payable, how to be collected etc)
and more.

The plan may be 3 pages long or it could be 20, but you need a plan. It may be complex, it may be simple. But you need a plan.

So, if you want to get started on your new Homefinding business, get a plan. Need help, then email Henry@homefindingasabusiness.co.uk or go to the web site www.homefindingasabusiness.co.uk
