Who is Gerry Cooke? A little insight about Gerry (as quoted from his website) – a person dedicated to the success of the disabled home business owner and network marketer. I was born with a physical disability which has given me a certain amount of perspective in itself as to some of the challenges people with disabilities face with their daily life and starting their own business.

Throughout my life I have had the pleasure of holding several interesting positions including assistant to probation officers, co-bank manager, run my own network marketing business, customer service representative and as well for the past 8 years owner and CEO of Three Quest Inc.

As Robert Kiyosaki explained, an “ah ha!” moment sparked off in my head. He was explaining a technical term called derivatives and he taught about how the financial sectors used it to make tons and tons of money.

In classic Dad style, he broke down the hard words into simple easier-to-understand concepts and I think it’s critical to understand the concept of it to really apply it in your home business. How can a term like that work? Okay, this is how Robert said it: “Think of derivatives as orange juice from an orange – orange juice is a derivative of an orange”.

Wow wow wow! The first day at the Singapore stop of Robert “Rich Dad” Kiyosaki’s seminar was jam-packed with great information.

Not all of it was about how to market one’s own business but they were all about one central theme – money. Here’s what went on for the first day:

1. Robert introduced his whole team who spoke on various topics
2. He predicted that the American economy is going to go down, down and down some more (he didn’t quite say that – he made it much more descriptive and grave).
3. That how the new administration is a bubble effect and the continuous printing of money is going to pull down many countries who rely not on gold but the US$ dollar.
4. He spoke out against how schools have been traditionally teaching about education but never giving financial education which is the real key to success and financial freedom.
5. … and tons more!

Before I can share with you exactly what I have learnt (I took quite a lot of notes), I want you to visit a site and read everything about it.

As a home based business owner, I am always striving to improve my business but lessons need not be learnt from the very top experts in the field, very often, great lessons can be learnt from paying attention to the little things.

As I got off the train and headed home, there was a nice old lady selling ice-cream by the roadside. That’s not a very uncommon sight in. For some reason, I decided to go over and buy myself an ice-cream.

In a time when every penny counts, online home businesses have to work a little harder to attract loyal customers. It may be that you offer the highest-quality product, but your customers are flocking to your competitor because they offer the best value.

That’s because value isn’t just about quality if that quality comes at too high a price.

Value is a balance of price, product quality, and the benefits of the purchase.
