With the profound popularity of online businesses springing
up left and right, there are certain keys that one must
avoid when joining one of these businesses.
If you are going to have any chance of success, you must
take these points into serious consideration, or you may be
doomed from the very beginning.
My name is Damian Benko and I am a successful interpreneur
(internet entrepreneur) working with the Passport To Wealth
business. I have been involved in online businesses for
almost 2 years and have had 3 other businesses off line as
well.
Many people ask me, because of my success, how I did it, or
what my secret is. Well, there really is no secret. There
are however, several things to avoid, too assure a greater
chance of success with any given program.
The program that I'm involved with is a software based
business that provides a tremendous amount of products for
the member as well as educational resources. The reason
that I chose Passport To Wealth is because, after my due
diligence, I found it to be the most solid amongst many of
the others out there.
Now, I'm not saying that Passport To Wealth is far better
than any other program out there. I'm just saying that the
concept, the compensation and the ownership, Darren Gaudry,
appealed to me the best.
That is the first key to success with any program that you
choose. You must believe in the company and represent it
because of your strong feelings towards it. If you chose a
company, just because it's hot or the "latest fad", you
could very well be destined for failure before you even
start.
You need to feel emotionally strong about why you're
choosing to be a part of that business. How can you expect
anyone to join with you if your prospects can't detect your
enthusiasm for your business? That definitely comes
through when talking with people. It is always best to
have your heart into what you do. It just makes it easier.
Now, that you have chosen a company to join, here comes the
hardest part, finding the right sponsor for YOU. There are
many different personalities out there and you want to work
with someone who you can get along with and feel
comfortable with.
There are many pitfalls or mistakes people make when
choosing the right sponsor or mentor to help them succeed
in their new business. When searching for that mentor you
want to avoid these three specific areas.
1) The first and probably the most important mistake to
avoid, is not calling your mentor personally. Many people
will just join a business without even picking up the phone
and speaking to whom they will be working with.
Don't make that mistake. This is your business and you
want to be sure that your sponsor will be accessible when
you need them. If you call them and they don't answer or
return your call in a prompt fashion, usually within 24-48
hours, how will you be able to rely on them for help when
you need it?
The same standard goes for email communication as well. If
you are getting auto responder messages only and don't get
a personal email communication after you sent an email to
them wanting more info, then that is usually a sign of an
incompetent sponsor.
Remember that they are supposed to be there for you. This
will be your business and you want to make sure the sponsor
that you'll be working with can help you when you need it
most. I feel that having a connection or bond with that
person can also help in your quest for success. It's a lot
more fun making money with those you get along with and
like!
2) The second mistake to avoid when choosing your sponsor
is not asking enough questions. You want to ask as many
questions as you can about the business and find out what
specific help they will provide you with.
This will lead you to ask about what other resources do
they have access to, such as additional mentors or leaders
in the business to help you too. The more help and access
to successful people the better.
Other questions that can tell you a lot about your sponsor
are questions about their background. What have they done
in the past and does it seem that their personal history
will benefit you in your new business? This can be very
revealing.
3) The last key to avoid when choosing a sponsor is rushing
your decision. You don't want to jump in with both feet the
first time you see the business. Take some time to really
think if this is what you want to do.
Understand that you'll need to spend a considerable amount
of time and effort to build and be profitable in ANY
business. There are no magic bullets or super secrets that
can make you rich without putting in that time and effort.
Many people make the mistake of joining a business strictly
on emotion. There are a ton of marketers out there that
know this and pray upon your emotions to convince you that
you need to join with them right away or you'll lose money.
This creates fear of loss, which is a VERY powerful
emotion.
They will also pray upon your emotion of greed, which will
make you feel that you can make all this money without
doing a whole heck of a lot for it. Have you ever heard,
"only an hour a week in this business and you can make 100
grand a year?" Yeah right, give me a break! If that were
the case, everyone would be rich.
These "hypsters" as I like to call them, will try to
convince you that they have all the answers and can make
you a very substantial income with virtually no time spent
at all on your business. Simply give them your money and
there system will do the rest. Just sit back and make a
fortune. Sorry, that is absolutely false!
This is a business and to be profitable in any business, it
takes time and effort on the business owner's part. You
must be committed and continue to pursue your goals even
when times get rough.
This is why you must take every precaution when choosing a
mentor to help you in your business. They will need to be
there for you and answer your questions when they come up,
because they will. Don't feel bad for grilling your would
be sponsor/mentor. Remember, this is not personal, it's
business. You have to look out for number one, that's YOU!
Always keep in mind that with the right help, and a
"burning desire" to succeed, you ARE unstoppable. Don't
hold back and give it all you've got. You can and will be
successful if that is your true desire. Put that goal out
there and do whatever it takes to reach it. You will
become a better person because of it! Go Get 'em.
