A Time to Focus and a Time to Diversify
Introduction
I'm known for emphasizing the power of focus in the Work-at-Home Mom (WAHM) community. Maintaining a clear focus is crucial when developing or growing a home business that stands the test of time and provides a reliable income.
The Importance of Focus
This principle is especially vital in Direct Sales businesses. If you've joined a Direct Sales company such as Mary Kay, Pampered Chef, or Lia Sophia, you’ll achieve the most success by dedicating all your efforts to that single company.
There’s often a temptation to branch out into complementary businesses. For instance, adding a gourmet food line might seem like a perfect fit for a Pampered Chef business, but in reality, it can dilute your focus.
Direct Sales offers a turnkey business model. The company provides everything from sales plans to promotional materials, crafted by marketing experts to ensure success if followed precisely. Straying from their proven system can reduce your effectiveness.
When to Diversify
However, some businesses do benefit from diversification. Diversification involves offering a range of products or services.
For example, home-based crafters often create a diverse array of items to satisfy customers’ preferences at craft shows. Similarly, internet marketers might manage multiple websites on various topics to maintain a steady affiliate income amidst market fluctuations.
An inspiring example of diversification is demonstrated by Tishia Lee, a single mother in my town. After leaving several low-paying jobs, she launched Tishia Saves Time, a home-based business.
Tishia Saves Time: A Case Study in Diversification
Tishia Saves Time is a dual-faceted business. On one side, she provides Virtual Assistant (VA) services to busy internet marketers. Her tasks include internet research, email management, and website updates.
The other side of her business caters to local clients with personal errand services. From picking up dry cleaning to grocery shopping, Tishia offers her services at an hourly rate plus mileage. She can even lend a hand with household chores on busy days.
The integration of these two branches works seamlessly, attracting regular clients and offering Tishia the flexibility to enjoy time with her young son.
