Mike Dillard is a home business guru that became a millionaire while still in his 20's. He says the biggest secret to his success is to spend money on educating himself continuously.

It's no secret that you can find the industry leaders and ultra-successful entrepreneurs congregating at the same place numerous times throughout the year.

They're religiously attending conferences, meetings, courses, boot camps, and live events to gain any piece of extra knowledge to give them an edge in the market place. The amount of money and time they spend on their education year in and year out would probably scare you.

Here's the secret if you want to make it big and rich with a downline list the size of a phone directory. Don't ever stop learning.

Pick up a book, article, or newsletter to feed your brain daily. Go out of your way to mastermind with other leaders so you can think and act as they do.

To help you get started, here are a few resources that have helped me tremendously, and allowed me to enjoy the wealth and freedom from home that 99% of home business owners only end up dreaming about.

* €Secrets of the Millionaire Mind€ by T. Harv Eker

It doesn't matter how much you know about advertising, prospecting, and building systems if you're mind doesn't have the right set of beliefs. You won't see the level of success you want.

T. Harv Eker refers to these beliefs as your €money blueprint€. It's the set of conditioned thoughts your mind holds dearly with regards to money, success, and your abilities.

Fix the €leaks€ in your subconscious mind, and your downline building will become effortless. You can solve the mystery of any of your past failures very quickly.

* €Magnetic Sponsoring€ by Mike Dillard

If you simply want to throw your money down the drain on purchased leads and chase your aunt and uncle away to join your business, then don't read this book.

Mike Dillard says the key to building a home business is to market €You, Inc€, and solve people's problems by showing them a solution. Don't talk about your company or products because people don't care to hear about those.

Show them a solution, and give them help without asking for anything in return. Market yourself, your knowledge, and willingness to give freely so prospects will be attracted to you like a magnet.

* €Hypnotic Writing€ by Joe Vitale

The most important skill in building a business from home and online is copywriting. If your written word can do all the selling, telling, and prospecting for you, you're on your way to a huge income.

Joe Vitale is known for his writing and using written persuasion to get people to buy. In his book €Hypnotic Writing€, he says to write a sales letter with one question in mind. What's in it for me?

That question is what every prospect reading your website is thinking in the back of his or her mind. If you're sales copy doesn't answer this question thoroughly and convincingly, your readers are out the door faster than a fire drill.
