If this series of events does not seem familiar to you, you either did your homework well, or either haven’t been in your home based business search very long.
You get on your computer and go surfing for the latest and greatest business opportunity– the sure thing that will make you rich. Filling in form after form, you give out your email, name, and phone number too many times to remember, and soon, your phone is ringing and your mailbox is packed. You see even more home businesses than you knew existed. A few of them look pretty good on the surface, so you fill out more forms. Then, you check your mailbox, and are sure you are getting email from everyone in the universe. Either out of desperation or fear of missing out again, you pick one, give them your hard earned money, put your name on the wonderfully unique replicated company website, and wait impatiently for the money to pour in. And wait. And wait some more. Finally, out of the frustration and boredom from zero website visits, you start looking all over again. Sound familiar?
Spending your time googling for your next opportunity before you are making some money on your first (10th?) one, should make it obvoius to you that you did not start with the right business. If you aren’t satisfied with the products, the company, the training, or the pay plan, you might as well move on. Next time, make sure ahead of time that you are making the best choice. If you decide which business to join before you do all of your homework, you will probably find yourself in the same situation again. You must have a firm set of guidelines that your next business has to meet, our you will risk being sucked in by the hype of some website and autoresponder, more than by how the opportunity fits you and your situation.
For help in setting up your guidelines, read my four part series entitled “Evaluating an Online Business– Things You Should Know…” (The video version has made its way around the Internet. YouTube is a good choice.) It will give you some guidelines for developing your own checklist, and how to stick with what you want. If you choose the correct business for you to start with, the time you are surfing the net now for another business will be spent building the business you have. Once you start a business, stick with it and give it your full attention. You will not be successful if you don’t actually work at it, and you will not actually work it unless you have taken the time to find the correct business for you.
If you take the time to decide what you want, you will be much less likely to listen to what someone has, and will be more likely to find a business that suits you.
