Realistic expectations when starting a home based business

Written by Rebecca Gilbert

Continued from page 1
I spend about 2 hours a day online through repparttar

week working on my business. I am advertising and submitting my website to various search engines, directories, and other high traffic sites. I am critiquing my website, sending emails to my affiliates in training, making deals with other webmasters, etc. I also do an enormous amount of reading. I have found that entrepreneurs who have made a fortune on repparttar 116965

internet are only too happy to share their knowledge on how they got there. Some days I put in more time and some day's I don't work at all. But, I know that every hour I spend on setting my business up is just one step closer to reaching my financial goals. If you are unwilling to invest your time...your probably not going to succeed. Are you unwilling to give up your skepticism? Many times I have an affiliate sign up for my program, and repparttar 116966

first thing I hear is how they have been burned by another internet business. While I'm sure there are millions of internet scams out there, I see a common characteristic that all these people seem to have...they don't DO ANYTHING! When people sign up for my program, repparttar 116967

first thing that I do is suggest that they complete a short online training on how our program works and repparttar 116968

compensation plan. I have a statistics page that will tell me when repparttar 116969

affiliates in my down line complete repparttar 116970

training, I can see when they have made a sale or signed up an affiliate of their own. All these people that claim to be scammed in repparttar 116971

past never even get past repparttar 116972

online training. Then oddly enough, they will have enough gall to email me repparttar 116973

next month and ask where their paycheck is? Do people actually believe that they will earn a paycheck just because they signed up? Is this why so many believe that they have been scammed in repparttar 116974

past? Are they so naïve that they think a company will pay them when they have made no sales? If any of these things sound remotely familiar...your probably not going to succeed. In closing, operating an internet business is not a get-rich quick program, nor can you be successful if you are unwilling to invest some time and money. You must have some realistic expectations and stay focused on repparttar 116975

goal at hand. If you are capable of doing these things, you can expect many handsome rewards in repparttar 116976

future for your time and effort. Best wishes for your future success and prosperity! Sincerely, Rebecca Gilbert http://www.101homebusiness.org
