My Secrets
When it comes to a home-based business I have really been around the block and back. You may know how it goes – try this and it doesn’t work, try that and it doesn’t work, get frustrated here, get frustrated there only to find each and every time that you’re out of pocket even more money – again and again!
I learned that most people fail because they simply, through no fault of there own, don’t know what to look for and get caught up in all the confusion out there with so many choices. I myself jumped around from program to program, always looking for “the next big thing” and always ended up finding that next “ground-floor” opportunity was more like a sub-basement opportunity!
Finally with the help of some really smart and successful people, I GOT IT! I learned many things in the last few years that no one had ever explained before!
There are a ton of programs out there that people are joining by the thousands but they’re not stopping to ask themselves the questions that really matter. Instead they fall for the fancy websites and the powerful words spoken by recruiters, they sign up, and then then they ask themselves “now what?” They don’t make money, lose money – and quit!
Before joining any company you must ask yourself some basic questions:
How long as the company been around for?
Pre-Launch, Ground-Floor Opportunity, This Is New, Get In Now, and all that stuff may sound good at first, but will the company be around tomorrow to pay you? After all since they’re new so who knows if they will survive? If you join a new company, work real hard to make your business grow but then the company closes down where does that leave you? Make sure the company you stick with companies that have been around long enough to establish a proven track record.
What does the company sell?
To be successful you must join a company that has products or services people actually want – EVEN IF THEY DECIDE NOT TO DO THE BUSINESS. Yet many people are joining the flashy businesses only for the business opportunity and don’t realize that if people get tired or discouraged about the business opportunity, they will leave and not continue buying. So make sure you join a company with products or services that people will want and will purchase with-or-without the business opportunity. It can make the difference between success or failure for your business.
Have you compared dollar for dollar, enrollee for enrollee, what the payplan will pay you for your hard work?
I can’t believe people don’t stop and look at this one very seriously (again, I guess it’s because they fall in love with hype and the flashy websites). Based on your investment costs, make sure you’ll be paid what you’re worth!
What’s the Retention Rate?
The proof is right here. If a particular home business is so great then it’s obvious that people who join will stick around and stay. Right? Make sense? After all, if the home business is truly so great, people will make money so they won’t leave. Right? So a great measure of a viable home business is it’s retention rate. How many people stick around after they join?
What does it cost to get started?
In these tough economic times, people are very reluctant to dish out thousands or even hundreds of dollars to chance on a new business. Whatever you choose needs to be affordable for the majority.
