Did you know that "home based business" and "work from home" are among the most frequently requested phrases on the search engines? I just entered the term "work from home" at Google, and I got back 4,730,000,000 results. What does that tell you? It tells you that there are plenty of websites around trying to keep up with the demand for information related to working from home. It also tells you that there are plenty of people promoting business opportunities. Network marketing, multi level marketing (MLM) Gustav Forsling Jersey Authentic , and direct sales organizations and their representatives are trying to get your attention.
OK. So you have this plethora of information, you narrow it down to a few choices by sending emails or making a few phone calls, and you decide to join Company A. But wait! Wasn't this company on TV recently for being involved in some type of fraud? So you do a little more online research, and find out that yes, your business opportunity is on the verge of a meltdown, and you breathe a sigh of relief for not being drawn in before its demise.
That's just the best case scenario. The fact is that a large number of opportunities for the home based entrepreneur will fail Brock McGinn Jersey Authentic , and drag down a number of poor innocents with it. Case in point: Brixdale. If you go to this website, what will you see? Nothing! This company was served a Cease and Desist order from the State of NY order last year, and closed up shop immediately, and the income stream that the distributors were enjoying stopped immediately. And there are many, many other stories like this.
WELL WHAT SHOULD I LOOK FOR IN A HOME BASED BUSINESS?
You may know a number of people that are very successful home based entrepreneurs, so you know that working from home is possible. Now we need to narrow it down to a business that fits your personality. So what should you look for first when evaluating a network marketing or direct sales organization? Very simply Sebastian Aho Jersey Authentic , longevity. Yes, I know there are so many more variables to consider, but longevity is a big one. And you know why? Well, if a company has been in business for over 1 year, then you know they've overcome a number of hurdles. If you talk to individual distributors and see that they are actually getting commissions on time and that support is very responsive, then you know you have a seasoned opportunity. We know that the first year in any long term endeavor is often turbulent Ryan Dzingel Jersey Authentic , but getting through that first year means something good may come the next year.
Now if you are a belt and suspenders type of person (like me), one that puts in a little more effort to make sure everything stays in place, you would naturally want to take this reasoning a step further and reason, 'Well... if a one year old company is good, then a three or five year old company would be even better.' That is absolutely true.
The more time a company has to deliver products, respond to feedback Dougie Hamilton Jersey Authentic , and upgrade services, the better they get at it. Take your average fast food franchise for example. How often do they upgrade their dining area? How often do they change the menu? Progressive organizations know that keeping in tune to customer satisfaction is the key to their success. Any business opportunity that you consider as a potential money maker for you should follow the exact same pattern.
There are so many variables to look at when you're considering a home based business. Evaluating the longevity of a company first will eliminate a substantial amount of research on your part.
Recently, Joy and I had the pleasure of speaking at a conference of Educational Office Professionals in Baltimore, MD. The other speakers included Ms. Deborah Phelps, mother of six-time gold medalist in the 2004 Summer Olympics swimmer Michael Phelps, and Agatha von Trapp Jordan Staal Jersey Authentic , the 91-year-old daughter of Captain and Maria von Trapp, the family on which the movie "Sound of Music" was based. To say the least, there were a variety of subjects discussed that day.
As I listened to Ms. Phelps describe Michael's achievements, I realized that his story had many of the secrets of success mentioned in my September article, Five Secrets to Creating a ?Goal? Medal Life.
Let's go over these five secrets again and see how you can apply them:
1. Create Passion with Goal Setting Ms. Phelps mentioned that Michael, after competing in the 2000 Summer Olympics Justin Faulk Jersey Authentic , was excited about the experience. Michael told her he wanted to compete again in the 2004 Summer Olympics. He had that burning desire to compete and win. So they sat down, developed goals, and mapped out a detailed plan for his success.
What do you have passion about in your career, your life? Have you put pen to paper and developed goals to achieve what you want in life?
2. Believe in Greatness Once Michael had competed in the 2000 Summer Olympics and held his own, he now believed he could win the swimming events in the 2004 Summer Olympics; not only win, but shatter world records. He visualized standing on the center stand with the gold medal around his neck. He visualized what winning the gold medals would look like Brian Gibbons Jersey , how it would feel, etc.
Have you visualized your "goal" medal life?
3. Create a Mastermind Group Ms. Phelps said that once Michael set his goal, she (a single parent), his older sisters, Michael, and his long time swim coach James Reimer Jersey , Bob Bowman, came together to develop a cohesive team for success. This was Michael's mastermind group. This group was devoted to removing barriers and helping Michael achieve his dream. Bob Bowman provided the technical expertise; and Ms. Phelps and his sisters provided the financial, emotional, and family support to keep Michael focused on his goals. They kept him focused on his goals while removing any distractions.
