You Have to Want It!

So you want to own a home business. Maybe an online
internet business. Why not, you've heard all the
promises…$1,000 a week stuffing envelopes, $10,000 a month
Brokering Notes, $28,000 in days, not weeks…simply
returning phone calls, Make $4,280 a month to simply shop
at home, $4,000 cash first 2 days. You get the picture.

I read these ads right off of "Home Business" August 2007
magazine. There's a lot of hype and promises out there.
Maybe you have gotten involved in some of these companies
and realized, after you spent your $1,000 or more to join,
it really wasn't as easy as they said, plus they didn't
have a system.

One of my favorites are the sites that have the long copy
and ask you to buy before they even show you what it is,
wow that's ballsy. I have to be honest with you here. I
fell for a lot of this hype and promises, to find out they
just don't work.

I want to help you not make the same mistakes I did. So
where do you start? What do you look for? What I'm going
to share with you is what to look for in a home based
business. It's not going to be some hyped, hypothetical
non-sense. I'm going to give you the hard facts on what to
look for.

1. Find a mentor. Someone who is going to be there for
you. Someone you can trust. Someone who has a system.
Someone who has the results you are looking for. Someone
who is willing to listen to your needs and actually cares
about your success.

2. Make sure the system is duplicatable. Make sure you
talk to everyone on the team and ask if they are successful
with the system. This is where most businesses fall short,
leaving a trial of destruction and not success.

3. Make sure the products being sold are legitimate stand
alone products. Meaning that the products would sell
themselves if on a shelf at a store. Most network
marketing and direct sales companies are built on a
compensation plan and not a stand alone product. If this
isn't the case you will have a hard time building residual
income and a stable business as most people will not be
able to duplicate what you are doing and your attrition
will be huge.

One way to tell if the products are viable is to see what
percentage of the products sold are retail sales. If
people are only buying the products to be able to turn
around and sell them to other recruits, beware. This is so
critical. Besides who doesn't want to be proud of what
they're selling. there are enough legitimate companies
marketing legitimate products out there. Find one that
feels right to you!

4. Make sure the team you are working with has a
true-turnkey marketing system in place that anyone can
duplicate. A system that anyone can plug into and get
instant results with. If you have to figure out your own
lead generation or if the company relies on recruiting
family or friends, purchased leads or newspaper
advertising, RUN. RUN FAST! If you don't have a reliable
way of getting quality prospects in front of what you are
offering you cannot be successful long term.

5. The system should also replace most of the redundant and
boring things that cause most people to fail. Turnkey
marketing systems that actually are proven to work are
difficult to find. This is usually the weak link…Look
closely.

6. Make sure that the company has a long term vision and is
going to be financially stable as long as your are going to
be marketing for it… If the company has bad PR, it's for a
reason. Bad PR kills companies quick. Also make sure the
company is NOT hiding offshore in the Bahamas or Panama
somewhere to keep out of reach of the attorney general.
This a key sign of company's true colors.

7. Find a Top-Tier direct sales company to work with. I
have personally never achieved a significant income with
MLM, affiliate, referral, or network marketing type
business models. The attrition is too big and the
commissions too small.

8. Make sure you don't have to pass up any sales as part of
a qualifications process…You should be in a income earning
position from day one. This is critical. Besides what
happens after you pass up your qualifying sales? You're on
your own! Your sponsor has no further financial interest
in your success.

9. Make sure that the company you are working with has no
conflict of interests.. You can recognize this as large
monthly fees, selling you leads, or partnerships and
alliances that are PROFIT CENTERS designed to line the
company's pockets with your money.

10. Finally, is what you are about to do something you can
be passionate about and would you be willing and eager to
share it with others…? If not how can you be successful if
you lack the self confidence and pride in what you are
doing. Do something meaningful and make what you do about
"helping others". Be proud and passionate and if you are
using the right system, it will be impossible to fail.

In conclusion, I would also like to say that You Have to
Want It! You have to be willing to put in the time and
money it takes to be successful, to have that Time Freedom
you have always wanted. Treat it like a business not a
hobby. Even if you have a job, it is very feasible to
start a home based business. I know, I did it.

There are no free lunches here. You have to be willing to
give up that night time television. You have to want it!
You can't buy an education like this, because they don't
teach it.

It wasn't until I started focusing and doing all the things
that this business offered, taught and required of me that
I became successful.
