- Is company a member in good standing with BBB or any other organization that can provide 3rd party validation?

By this time, even though you may have started with hundreds of opportunities, you will probably have narrowed your options down to 10 or less to choose from.

Compare these remaining opportunities by considering:

- Which one offers products that excite you most?

- Which one offers a compensation plan that will allow you to earn money most easily?

- Is there a person eam in any of these opportunities who is willing to mentor you? If not, dump opportunity. If so, which of these people eams do you feel will best help you to achieve success?

At end of this process, you will end up with opportunity that fits you best.

You MUST go around obstacles to reach rewards and, larger reward, larger obstacle you will encounter. EVERYONE encounters obstacles, and you will probably encounter a multitude of obstacles in your lifetime.

Surprising Fact: Persons who earn $20,000 and more each month have down times too -- times when they feel their businesses are failing...no kidding! So, IGNORE your emotions and obstacles in your path. Focus on completing tasks that generate results, and NEVER GIVE UP!

3. Patience

As much as we all would like to be able to start a business and begin raking in a huge profit a couple of months later, that is just not how life works. Building a stable and profitable business takes time and patience.

A traditional business takes 3 to 5 years to get into profit. A network marketing business usually takes 1 to 2 years. Whatever type of business you are building, for first several months it will feel like you are wasting your time and money because you won't see any noticeable results. This is NORMAL!

No matter what type of business you build, it takes a while to build momentum...to build a customer or prospect base, to build product recognition and trust, and to train your employees or associates so they can add to growing momentum. To be a success in business, you must also be realistic about what to expect.

Yes, you can build a profitable business that can make you wealthy beyond your wildest dreams, but don't expect to make a million in your first year. Would you really be disappointed if it took you 10 years before you earned your first million?

Yes, there are many people earning $10,000 a month or more and you can too...but not after only working for 2 to 3 months. Give yourself a few years to reach that point.

No matter how long it takes you to make big money, it will probably take you much less time to make much more money with your own business than with a regular job. So, BE PATIENT!
