“STARTING AN ONLINE BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY”

I opened my email this morning and much like any other day I had 57 new emails.  What do you think was the common thread?  How to make money online, how I made $19,344.52 in 72 hours with a $97.00 investment, the one unique secret to create unlimited wealth for $47.00, make $500.00/day filling out surveys,  etc. etc. etc…

State of mind plays an important role when reviewing these types of messages. It is important to realize that these types of messages are impulse buying messages. They are designed to get you to think of the possibilities of earning a ridiculous income that will change your life forever with little time or financial commitment. The rule here is simple and very much like the rule for grocery shopping.  Don’t go grocery shopping when you are hungry.  Don’t start a business out of desperation or the excitement of amazing life changing possibilities with little financial or time commitment.

Starting a legitimate online business is a serious undertaking.  It is an extreme makeover from a conventional business.  However, the thought process can be no different than starting a brick and mortar business.  You would never buy a brick and mortar business without performing a proper due diligence.  Why would you not do the same for an online business?

An online business opportunity is similar to a franchise. When you buy a franchise the franchiser provides you with training, education, support and a proven duplicable system.  The same should hold true of an online business. Your success will be the direct result of the quality of the education, training and support.  You want to join an organization that is already successful and has hands on training.  You never want to go it alone.

Look for a proven system, plan and template that you can emulate and copy the success of proven leaders in their industry.  Discover a system that is built on leadership, communication and integrity, a system that provides its associates with the tools to virtually copy proven success tactics by means of ongoing training and personal support.

There is tremendous opportunity to make money from home today with a legitimate online business. The internet is the largest and fastest growing marketplace in the world with 1.5 million new visitors a day.  However, do your homework before making a commitment to an online business opportunity. Don’t get excited by get rich quick business opportunities that require little financial and time investment.  Step back and reflect as to why anyone would share their plan to a 6 or 7 figure income for a $77.00 investment.  They are marketing to greed and generally to naive people who think that they can achieve miraculous results for little money or effort.

Before embarking on an online business opportunity ask yourself these questions. What do I want from life? What am I prepared to commit to attain this?  Do you I have the ability to focus on a work day from home and not be distracted by what is going on around me?   Do I have the ability to persevere through the learning curve?  Basically, you will need to evaluate your goals, plan how you are going to achieve them in realistic steps,  and have the passion to succeed.  Remember at the end of the day it’s not the money but what the money can do to improve your life, i.e. spend more time with family and friends, exotic vacations, a country home, a new car, etc. It is living your dream.
