How Can You Earn an Income On the Internet

Can You Budget For Your Business?

I was with a company that offered a great product with an awesome comp. plan but the product was too expensive to stay with the company. The way the economy is I couldn't afford to stay with the company. I had to find an opportunity that wouldn't interfere with my existing budget but still allowed me to concentrate on building a successful home based business. 
Where am I going to find such a company? There are so many home based business online and off that offer good products but non of them offer a comp plan that worked into my budget. For god sake, the gas companies are already making it difficult to budget money so, why would I want to build a business that is just going to cause more hardship in my budget. Health is the least of my worries right now. I am still young and strong and I think I am a pretty healthy guy. 

After extensive research I came a crossed a company that was not only affordable but it fit right into my existing budget. I didn't have to trade my budget in for an expensive product I didn't know was going to work for me or not. My wife didn't have to give up her cable TV so we could run the business. The company had products and services I was already using and the comp plan just made since. The technology is a trillion dollar industry and it just keeps getting better. It will never run out of products or services.
Your probably thinking I had to give up brand name products but I didn't, I am not talking about using products that are like brand names, I am talking about brand name products/services we use every single day. No adjusting budgets, No trying new products that never been heard of, and no convincing others to try it because they are already using it too. 
It's funny, most people are focused on their wants more than their needs. For example: Try convincing someone they need a health product to stay healthy that cost $100+ a month in our economy. That is like telling them to give up a cellphone, canceling their internet or their cable. But if you give them something they already have and use and they don't have to rearrange their budget to build a successful business they are more willing to give the business a try without any hardship. 
Of coarse this all depends on how you look at building a successful business, are you in it for residual income or are you in the business because it's healthy for you. Honestly, are people willing to sacrifice rearranging their budget and their lifestyle to be in a business because it is healthy, especailly the way the economy is today? Don't get me wrong, being healthy is a good thing but when it comes to building a successful business we are all in it for the financial freedom.

Good post Lonnie.
I like the emphasis on word BUDGET.
Everyday I run across aspiring entrepreneurs who are eager to GROW a business but have never developed a Budget, cash flow projections and more important a BUSINESS PLAN.

Actually the "cost" of staring a business needs to addresses in terms of Realistic Return.
The initial cost should NOT be the guiding fact...
rather the realistic potential.

Also needed: Th Mindset of a Business Person and not one of an employee

Lonnie, it's true, being successful in MLM means having a good product, affordable for a majority and a perfect marketing plan too.
Such a pity that Europe is not taken in consideration.... I know a company with an outstanding marketing plan, patented products in the cellular nutrition sector - it basically offers all of what a MLM marketer is dreaming of.

Just my thoughts when reading your article.
