How to make a Budget if you are a freelancer with variable income

August 7, 2009 By avillanueva Leave a Comment

It is usual to read that you should make a budget to control your personal finances.

That sounds great but what happen if I have an irregular income, how will project my expenses and inversions?

Well Get Rich Slowly, one of my best blogs about personal finances, give us some advices.

His author summarize two methods for making a budget when revenues are variable.

1. The average method. This method consists of making an average of our income for the last 12 or 6 months. That average number will be my estimate income in order to make my budget and find the balance with my expenses.

The problem with this method, as the author said, is that if one month I have zero income this method could be a nightmare. If I do not have enough savings will not balance my expenses.

2. The method of the lowest income. In this case is not an average but it takes the lowest income I’ve had the past 6 or 12 months.

This method is much more conservative and more secure.

7 tips to have Sales Success and make more money with your business

July 24, 2009 By avillanueva 1 Comment

Learn secrets or tips to sell is one of the most important aspects for success. Always we are selling something … sometimes ourselves. For instance, we are selling ourselves as good professionals to get the best job possible.

At Aspire Now website gives us Seven Keys to Sales Success. In summary they said:

“1. Work your plan – double your manager’s goals for you, or double your sales figures.

2. Deliver what you promise.

3. Offer what you can deliver today.

4. Build relationships, not orders. Build 4×4 relationships.

5. Use your network. Keep people informed.

6. Keep some in reserve.

7. Spend time wisely. Time is our biggest resource — and our smallest. Use it well and make the sell.”

About the first tip they said:

“1. Have a planned quota or goal to achieve? Now double it. Set your goal as double or triple whatever your boss told you to sell. People tend to miss their own goals – on average, they only hit about 80% of the goal. Therefore, your goal needs to be higher than your manager’s goal for you. If you are in business for yourself, take your sales goal that you know you need to sell to make money, and triple it. Strive for that goal, rather than the break-even goal. You’re in business to make money, not lose it, right?”

May 6, 2009 By avillanueva Leave a Comment

Suddenly you already have a business idea to make at home, low budget or high … but is it is good idea or not?

Seth Godin, one of the gurus of the business, interviewed by the magazine Business Week points out in summary the following:

1. If you already have the idea now concentrate on the business model is like going to develop this idea.

2. It have an idea might take 5 minutes of inspiration, however explore how to implement the process takes more time and work. If a business idea to make at home you should ask for example if your family is going to support you or not, that resource accounts, how will the distribution of products.

3. After taking the idea, focus in the process. The design process takes time. In addition to the factors outlined above should see how you will set the price, legal issues and much more.

4. Do not try to invent new business models, which must be original is only your business idea. A most striking example is perhaps the case with Microsoft and Apple. The two companies are business idea development software, but the business model of Microsoft is to sell its software for use on any computer, the model of Apple is that their software works only with their own products we also sell software Macs, Iphone, Ipod etc.

5. Do not do focus groups, that are inaccurate to the level of a small business. Once you have developed your business model and thus prepared a business plan for yourself you must be honest enough to evaluate whether your plan will work or not. So it is important to separate the idea of the business plan choosing a business development model.

This article try to takes ideas from an interview made to Seth Godin but contains other ideas of the author of the note. You can read the original interview from Business Week by clicking here in this link
