Determining the right or the "best" home based business can
be a bit challenging. After all, there are so many
different companies to choose from and a broad range of
categories as well.
A great number of individuals are looking to make a fast
buck. This is not being limited to just representatives
but extends all the way to the company owners themselves!
Many companies rarely survive "start up" and never seem to
get "it" out of the trailer park!! We've all heard or read
the statistics that 90% of network marketing companies
and/or homebased business opportunities don't make it past
their first year.
Knowing that many companies don't survive, below are some
suggestions that may help you to determine the right
homebased business opportunities for you. Keep in mind you
may find it best to focus on one specific type of business
opportunity and not split your efforts between two or more.
Some individuals are able to excel in multiple lines or
companies, while most do best to get one going and keep it
moving forward.
1 – Look at the leadership. This would include but not
limited to owner(s), members of staff and other "key"
individuals brought on board to help grow the company. The
saying made famous by John Maxwell states "Leadership is
everything and everything rises and falls on leadership"
definitely applies. Many times you will see some of the
same people who "ran" the last company are now creating
another one. Usually due to company failure or a split in
leadership.
2 – Is there a market for the product or service being
marketed? Certain products or services may have a short
life span or be limited to a specific market place. You
would be wise to stay away from a "me too" type company,
product or service. Unless you find something for certain
that separates homebased business opportunities from
others, you're much better off securing a position with a
"one of a kind" venture.
3 – Is it your passion? Most people get involved
representing homebased business opportunities as a second
income or a way to earn extra money. You will find some
who have made it their career and do quite well for
themselves, while others seem to always struggle with their
homebased business opportunities. The difference may be a
simple as "passion". Is it something you really like? Is
it something you truly believe in? Do you see yourself
doing it five or even ten years from now? Getting involved
with a company's product or service for the money (pay
plan) is one thing but loving or enjoying what you do, is
entirely different.
It's best if you can find a match for all your needs and/or
desires. This will aid in keeping you focused should you
find matters challenging as you grow your homebased
business opportunities.
A key factor for determining the right homebased business
opportunities would simply be; is anyone else having
success with it or already had success doing it? You may
or may not want to find yourself being one of the
"pioneers" for your venture. Most beginning homebased
business opportunities are far better to join once they've
proven themselves to be a viable business. Although, a
"ground floor" opportunity has its benefits should the
leaders make it out of the "trailer park!"
