A potential business partner decided to enter into a relationship with you in your home based business. The next step is training them to be successful in their new opportunity. When you came into this business you were just tossed into the deep end of the pool without any help. Your mentality is if it was good enough for me, then it is good enough for anyone I bring into business. This is definitely the incorrect way to look at building a long term home based business.The foundation of any sound home based business is made up of a consistent training program. The learning curve for any business varies from person to person. They are people who require hand holding through the initial process of developing their business. You also have business partners who do not require any hand holding. You must design your training to cover the person who is in the middle of the spectrum. If you have a business built on a foundation of not training your business partner, then your home based business will not grow. You must give your new business partners roots and wings.Roots denoted solid skills and values while having wings to aspire in their home based business. The first step is a solid training program that strengthened the foundation of your business. Many home based businesses take the money and run. False promises of how fantastic the training will be. Once the check clears no phone calls are returned, the partner is left in the cold alone. The business will only work for the short term, but will fall flat in the long term. The people who are in business for the long term will invest the time and money necessary to make their business partners better.The fact that the training you received when you started was not perfect. The same training principles need not be applied to your new business partners. I once worked for a restaurant chain that told me I was in charge of my own training. I was given some company material and left to learn the business on my own. The General Manager never sat down with me to go over any of the exercises. My foundation at this restaurant was unstable and inconsistent. The managers who came in after me went through the same process. You must have a consistent training program for your new partner. The first 30 to 60 days is the most critical time in teaching your business partner the keys to success. A proven training system is the best way to put people in charge of their destiny. A well trained business partner will lead to a more successful home based business.
