Evaluating a Business Opportunity

Most of us have been inundated with so-called home business opportunities.
Most of us become almost desensitized to the ads with often outlandish promises. We reach a point of being skeptical at almost anything that has an
appearance of being advertised as a home based business.

That is understandable, but if you want a home based business, you have to
take a serious look at the business beyond the hype?and a serious look at
yourself and your situation.

If your considering joining a membership that is a ?shooting star? fast growing
online business, ask yourself and others several questions. First, who
are the people behind the business? Are they reputable and well-known;
if not well-known at least reputable. What is the business model? How
successful and how long have other such business models lasted?

Just as important, what is the ?shelf life? of a membership business. That?s right,
They are like food products at your local grocery store. You better consider the
shelf life of the product and how long to spoilage. Businesses of this nature are
no different. Who wants to get in on the last hurray of a dying business.

Another question is, what is the pyramid business like? Do they offer real,
genuine useful products or services? Are they of the type that you would gladly buy if the down stream income were not available? Don?t get me wrong, there is money to be made in such businesses -if it is new and growing rapidly, but make sure that those who are succeeding are not stepping on the back of so many others who are failing at the same opportunity. In other words, if the membership fee entitles you to something really value to you regardless of whether you recruit anyone else, is a good business.

It should be designed to help those with little skills and experience to advance to varying degrees of success.

Now I personally know of several successful home based businesses that are not
membership related. I helped my 29 year nephew start a business from home
that will gross him well over a million dollars this year and a lot more next year.

One of my best friends started a home based business and had no working capital. He is making about $ 10,000 a month just after about 6 months in the business.

The point is, you may find your field of diamonds ? not where the lights are flashing, but in your on backyard of experience and contacts. You might just
need some good consulting regarding the same.

Remember, like in stock trading, if you start following the masses, your likely going to loose your money.

Hype should be a flashing red light to stop. Next, seriously look thru analytical
glasses before partnering or becoming a member.
