Withinmoments of world renowned jazz violinist Karen Briggs (formerlywith Yani) taking the stage the quote from Tony Buz...
...an rang myhead."Whatever your discipline, become a student of excellence in allthings. Take every opportunity to observe people who manifestthe qualities of mastery."Here are lessons I walked away with that you can use tosuccessfully create a business you can work from home.1. Change an idea or business by 10% and you can be a leader inwhat you do. Ms. Briggs is not the only violinist but she is onethe first to become known as a "Jazz Violinist." She tooktraditional classical music and put a jazz twist on it and madeit her own. She created a fortune by doing so. You can do thesame thing. Find a work at home business you love, add yourunique slant and become an expert.2. Give your customers more than you can expect and you willcreate raving fans. We were told the concert would go 90minutes. However, when Ms. Briggs surprised us with anadditional 45 minute jam session it blew everyone away. When youunder promise and over deliver you will create screaming fansthat will tell others about your business. The ultimate form offlattery is a referral. (By the way, I highly recommend you seeher).3. When you are operating in your unique gift it will appeareffortless to others. Ms. Briggs was one with her instrument. Asa former violinist myself, I know first hand that it is not aneasy instrument to master if you don't have the aptitude orattitude. However, when the talent or gift is innate yourpresentation appears organic and effortless to others.Most people spend their life looking for the "magic bullet" tocreate wealth. And the truth is if you were to look at the giftsand talents you have, your million dollar idea is innately apart of you. If you are not sure what it is think about what arethe things you do that appear easy for you and difficult forothers. Your unique talent harnessed with discipline andcommitment will be unstoppable. Unleash your talents anddiscover how to turn it into a profitable work at homeopportunity.4. When you are a master at your craft people will pay for itand you can name your price. Being an expert in business is muchlike a top paid artist. When you have specialized knowledge or askill people are willing to pay a higher price to have access toit.5. Surround yourself with talented and supportive people and youall can go to a higher level of success. Ms. Briggs had a bandaround her and with their support her talents were showcasedeven more. No one creates success by themselves. Make sure youhave people around you who support you in your business.Consider a Mastermind Group.If you are starting or currently building a home based businesstake one or all of these lessons, implement them in yourbusiness and watch it grow. I am always amazed how lessons aboutbeing successful are always around us if our mind is open andour ears in tune. These lessons if implemented will sound likemusic to your ears.
