Once You Select a Business, Stop Looking For Another One
Posted on Monday, August 25, 2008 at 3:46 amIf this series of events does not seem familiar to you, you either did your homework well, or either haven’t been in your home based business search very long.
You get on your computer and go surfing for the latest and greatest business opportunity– the sure thing that will make you rich. Filling in form after form, you give out your email, name, and phone number too many times to remember, and soon, your phone is ringing and your mailbox is packed. You see even more home businesses than you knew existed. A few of them look pretty good on the surface, so you fill out more forms. Then, you check your mailbox, and are sure you are getting email from everyone in the universe. Either out of desperation or fear of missing out again, you pick one, give them your hard earned money, put your name on the wonderfully unique replicated company website, and wait impatiently for the money to pour in. And wait. And wait some more. Finally, out of the frustration and boredom from zero website visits, you start looking all over again. Sound familiar?
Continually surfing the net for your next business opportunity before you have gotten the one you are on up and going, is a sure sign you are not in the right business. If you aren’t happy with the company, the products, the pay plan, or the training, it’s time to move on. This time, be sure you are making the right choice. Don’t make your decision about which business to join without doing all of your homework first. If you don’t have a concrete set of guidelines that your business has to meet, you will be tossed to and fro by the hype more than by how the opportunity fits you and your situation.
For help in determining your personal guidelines, read my four articles entitled “Evaluating an Online Business– Things You Should Know…” (You can find the video version on several video sites like YouTube.) It will provide you with some guidelines for coming up with your own checklist of what you want in a business, and how to stick with what you come up with. If you manage to start with the best business for you, the time you now spend surfing the net for another business will be more productively spent building the business you have. Give it your full attention once you start. Make yourself stick with it. If you don’t actually work at it, you won’t be successful, and you won’t work it unless you have chosen well.
Take the time to decide what you want a business to provide you with. You will find yourself far less likely to be swayed by what a business does, and way more likely to choose a business that fits you.
