I'm sure I will piss more than a few people off with this post, but so be it because I'm trying to save a newbie from wasting time and money here. If you throw a rock into a crowd of people, the only one that will scream is the one who got hit. This is a serious problem in the industry and below I'll show you why.
1. Learn your computer functions: Your mind shouldn't even be on a Home Business if you don't know your computers basic functions and I don't care what people tell you or try to make you believe. You have to lkearn how to protect your computer, copy and paste, how to protect your links and quite a few other basic functions before you dive head first into a Home Business.
2. Do your due diligence, find a company you feel comfortable with and stick with it: I'll be honest with you, its been my experience that it takes generally a month just to build a strong foundation and at least 3 months to figure out if you want to make a go of it with your chosen company. Then maybe 6 months to sustain a consistent cash flow, sure you can make a few bucks with some companies right away but the numbers will fall off once the internet gets saturated with your product or service and trust me, it will.
3. Expect a certain ammount of hand holding but there will come a point where your sponsor will kick you out of the nest and like nature if you can't fly you'll be at the mercy of natural forces. You'll have to implement what you've been taught and leave the safety and comfort of the nest and either fly or fall, the important part will come when if you fall whether you get up, dust yourself off and get back on that horse, if not, you're toast.
4. Don't listen to how much somebody else makes: They'll tell you they made this or this person made that, who cares? I can't eat off what you or somebody else made, are they telling you the whole truth? Are your skill levels up to par with theirs? You just learned how to turn your computer on in most cases and you mean to tell me you're going to believe when somebody tells you that you can make over $1,000 out the gate? Gimmie a break.
5. Don't blame the industry: Most people who fail in Network Marketing look to point the finger at the industry and give a blanket indictment to the whole industry calling us all crooks, tell the truth, you treated this like a game, a hobby, you drank the Kool-Ade, you bought into the hype, you listened to some weasel, if you want to blame somebody, I suggest you walk into the bathroom and take a look in the mirror.
Of course there are countless instances where this has become a grave problem in the industry, don't let this be you and use the common sense that the Creator blessed you with. For more information stop by my site and look at our short video, you don't have to join my company but make damn sure whatever company you join is the right one for you and not someone else.
