Black Genius Network

Regina Baker is a computer geek at heart.  She loves everything about computers, how they operate as they do and the limitless opportunities with software applications.

Her background is in Procurement and Information Technology as the Y2K Specialist for one of the oldest chemical and polymers companies in the United States.

After being laid off due to downsizing and even through the passing of her husband Ruben to cancer in 2002, Regina has learned to rely and trust in the wisdom and will of God. Regina says, “I knew there was something for me to continue to live for, to empower others and to have a profound affect in giving instead of just receiving.”

Having various roles in computer technology led her to where she is today as the Co-Founder of Wahmcart.com, a full ecommerce software solution for work at home moms as well as the small business community.

When my partner and I first talked about Wahmcart, we wanted to provide a full ecommerce software solution for work at home moms BUT without the huge price tag. Our goal was, and is, to reach the masses with our full ecommerce solution as opposed to only those who can afford a high ticket service comparable to what we offer.

“We believe that small business dominate a large portion of the market place however, a huge percentage of small businesses miss the opportunity to provide a secure environment like Wahmcart due to the lack of funds. Therefore they settle for free carts and not as secure or easy shopping options for potential customers.

This is why Wahmcart was born. Our goal is to educate the small business individual (sole proprietors) and companies with ecommerce solutions that will allow them to work smarter, not harder while at the same time providing an affordable solution that the “average” person can afford.

In doing so, I made it a point to become a Certified Business Coach.  In this role, I’m able to coach individuals on the importance of a suitable ecommerce software solution for their business while answering questions concerning internet and affiliate marketing in a easy to understand language.

Regina’s Success Tips:

1. “Every worthwhile accomplishment has a price tag attached to it.  The question is always whether you are willing to pay the price to attain it - in hard work, sacrifice, patience, faith and edurance.”  John Maxwell

2. Don’t limit God’s ability to do by your capacity to receive.”  With an open mind, willing heart, and positive attitude, YOU CAN achieve anything you want for your life!

3.  “People do not care how much you know until they know how much you care.” John Maxwell

This teleseminar is a perfect example of start a business backwards. What I have done is I have created a system to find out exactly what my potential clients want and I am tailoring this business to what you say you want.

Some people completed a one question survey. That one questions was “Why Don’t You Achieve Your Dream of Owning Your Own Business?”. There where 5 potential responses including “lack of business idea” and “Fear of losin money” but the question that had the biggest response to “Why Don’t You Achieve Your Dream of Owning Your Own Business?” was the most obvious answer.

The most selected reponse was “Lack of money”. This is exactly what I expected, for money people the main reason they don’t achieve their goals is because they believe that having money is how to start a business. Many people use “lack of money” for achieving almost any goal.

Well, the reality is having money to start a business DEPENDS on the type of business. I know of at least 10 businesses you can start with less than $100.00. So having money only depends on the type of business. On my teleseminar on January 22, 2008 at 8pm I will talk about how you can start a business with minimal money and guarantee success.

The last post generated a few emails, many people don’t believe that you can print money, or specifically you can make money out of thin air. Most of the emails where quite vehement, “This is complete buls&&t” wrote one reader. Well, I couldn’t disagree more. Money is a product of either work or ideas and most people associate money with the work. What I mean is most people believe that the only way to make money is through personal work and that is definitely not true.

There are many people that have gotten very rich developing ideas, creating a system to leverage the idea and as a result legally printing money.

One of the lessons that I’ve learned is that success leaves clues and one of the clues has been left by a very, very rich man, Donald Trump. Trump recently posted on his blog one of the keys to how rich people think.

Trump wrote “You might be surprised to learn that one of the most powerful habits of wealthy people is their ability to visualize a better financial future. They develop a clear mental picture of where they want to be financially, and then describe their financial vision in a simple and concise statement that serves as a constant reminder of where they are headed. This picture becomes a powerful motivator in their quest to produce and acquire wealth.”

His point is that rich people see themselves getting richer, that they “visualize a better financial future” and that is the amazing part to me.

Here is the question, what do you visualize as your financial future? Do you visualize a “better financial future” or do you visualize more of the same? Do you visualize your life getting better or getting worse or the same. The key is visualization, see the future how you want it to be, driving your future yourself instead of having circumstances drive you. Whats your choice? How do you want to live, driven by circumstances or guided by your vision?

Trump went on to write, “If you can get a clear picture of the way you want your life to look, that glimpse, quite often, may be enough to keep you moving ahead in pursuit of your personal dream of wealth.” He doesn’t guarantee a better financial future because you visualize but he does say based on his experience that having a vision, see the future as brighter “my be enough to keep you moving ahead in pursuit of your personal dream of wealth”. His point is that keeping the vision, in his experience will help you move ahead in the quest for financial freedom.

Trump continues “Let’s say that you have a plan to pay $900 a month to service your debt so that, in 18 months, you will your goal of becoming debt-free. That is your goal, to get out of debt. But your vision statement is something much bigger. It tells you what life will be like once you reach your goal. When you are debt-free, for example, you can invest some of the money that you will be able to save. Or you can enjoy the feeling of having the burden of debt lifted off your shoulders. Those are great motivators.”

His point is that having goals is NOT enough, his point is having a financial vision written down is as if not more important. A vision that creates a BENEFIT in your life that YOU WANT and that vision will help you stay focused on motivated towards achieving your goal.

So during this season when you may be setting goals and planning for a new year. Think bout Trump’s advice, I have.

After a month, Karen knew a lot about her new business. She knew clearly who her clients where, what they needed to hear in her marketing to make them buy and she knew how much money her customers where willing to spend for her services. Karen also knew how many prospects it took to get a sale and she knew her expenses. So, Karen could predict how much money she would make in her business. By doing some simple math

Based on the math, she hired two of her former colleagues, ramped up her marketing based on the test and almost immediately found 5 clients.

After two years, Karen’s business had two million dollars in sales, was very profitable and Karen had 5 employees. Unfortunately for Bob, the manufacturing company found a location with lower labor costs and moved. Bob ended up looking for a job.

Also before I forget, Karen went to her office only two days a week.

What’s the difference between Bob and Karen? Why did Karen’s business explode with predictable profits and customers and Bob ended up back working for someone else.
