Here is a sneak peek of our latest Blog entry
- Choose your life-partners wisely!
Hi everyone!
My name is Laura, I’m an experienced wife, mother, pastor, network
marketer… and this blog is about stinky, rotten business really! It’s
also about how to avoid being IN it.
Now, I am talking to business NEWBIES here, so all you big-wigs,
already-made-it-to-the-top, “my stuff is better than your stuff”
braggers, do not pay attention to this! It just does not apply to you.
Ok, now that I’ve weeded out the “higher-ups” that be… to anyone,
and I mean ANYONE else, who has just ventured into the “hey, I have an
idea honey, I’ll quit my job and become SELF EMPLOYED” notion, you NEED
and DESERVE to hear and consider (and hopefully apply) what I’m about
to tell you! I am about to SPARE you from years of grief in
home-based, network marketing, mlm business attempts! Here we go!..
Now, this comes from about 20 or more years of experience (at this
point, I’ve lost count how many years). So, if you REALLY are serious
about making this new business venture work, please listen, learn from
my mistakes, and then and ONLY then, sign on that dotted line, pay your
fee to join, etc.
Ok, ready?
1.) Investigate EVERYTHING about it.
That means “do the research, Sammy” Google the company, it’s
leaders, it’s legal situations (does it have a law suit against it, for
instance). It doesn’t matter much if they were voted #1 in WHO’S WHO
OF AMERICAN ENTREPRENEURS if they lack personal character and won’t be
there to answer your questions when you have them. Trust me on this
one. I know.
Nothin like feelin as though you are a “nuisance” to the big-boy
manager! Be sure he is one who built his OWN business from the bottom
up, also and that “daddy” didn’t GIVE him the buiz because he was the
“favored son” Ugh…movin right along here…
2.) THIS IS A BIGGIE SO PAY ATTENTION CLOSELY!
Examine the PRODUCTS! Are they truly “competitive?” This means,
when you decide to stop using your favorite brand of shampoo, will this
new one that you buy from your company (oh, did I mention that, for a
while, YOU will be your 1st customer, before anyone else will purchase
FROM you?)…
When you put that “new business” shampoo on your curly locks and you
lather, does it feel as luscious as the one you fell in love with from
Wally World? If YOU would switch, chances are, so will your
customers. If not, I’d be real careful about selling something even
YOU can’t believe in!
Be careful about “ground-floor” opportunities too…no need to rush to
be first, in a company nobody even knows about yet. Give em a couple
years, see if they are still around, THEN Join. Why should YOU buy a
ticket on the TItanic if you know that other ships like it, have sunk
within the first couple years! Be careful, prayerful and WISE in your
choosing! Remember, “Good things come to those who WAIT!”
3.) Check on pricing of your products. In one business I was in, I
found the same machine my company sold for hundreds of dollars, over on
a forum selling for at least 1/3 of the price. How’s THAT hit ya? Not
a good thing to sell your house, your car, your first-born, to hop on
the bandwagon and join! Right? (I hope your head nodded up n down on
that one!)
