How
To Pick The RIGHT Business Opportunity
1.
Find a great mentor. He/she
should be a
visionary; self-confident, driven,
well-read, successful, ambitious, and
passionate about what he/she does. He/she
must also have a financial interest in your
success.
2.
Find a marketing system that works.
Tragically, far too many
network marketing systems today are
completely broken. If it is an effective system,
and if you work it properly, you should be able to start seeing
significant money coming back into your
pockets within weeks, not several months.
3.
With
the right opportunity, you should be in an
income-earning position from day one,
and should not have to be passing up any
sales as part of a qualification process.
4. If the
company's primary business-building
"methods"
are the recruiting of friends and family
members, or the purchasing of expensive
"opportunity" leads, be aware.
This
is a big red flag. You will almost
certainly find yourself running out of
relatives and/or funds for leads long before
you see any real growth in your business.
5.
Instead of Multi-Level-Marketing, choose a
direct sales company. By and large, in MLM
the attrition rate is far too high and the commissions much too
small. Which will only leave you with the
frustrated feeling of "trying to fill a leaking bucket."
6. Make
sure that what is being marketed are
"stand-alone" products, that is, that they
would sell themselves were they sitting on a
shelf in a store, and aren't just there to
make the compensation plan "legitimate".
If
you yourself wouldn't be willing to pay
twice the price for the products of what you
are selling them for, they are not the
right products.
7.
Find
something you love to do. Your business
should not simply be "a means to an end" --
something you have to suffer through in
order to reach your financial goals. The right
business should make you jump out of bed in
the morning, ready and excited to get to
work!
8. Make
sure the company and its leaders have
a
vision which goes beyond the mere
material/financial. They should promote
and model a "pay-it-forward" mentality. With
wealth comes the responsibility of good
stewardship, and only a person who knows how
to share of himself and give back,
knows the meaning of true riches.
