You know, most important thing in flying is to "always know where you are" and "know where it is you're going". The same applies to your online business. Do you have a flight plan? How are you going to get there? Do you know where it is you are going, a destination? (Read that as goals).

Where are you? Where are you going? That sounds simple enough.

Well, let me tell you it isn't. Our egos, pride or simply stubbornness, you name it. It gets in way - Stop that now, put it aside and listen to…

"This is Captain speaking…"

Get a flight plan. Know where you are starting from and what your destination is. Get a "flight plan" and follow it religiously. Things will start to happen…

Slowly at first, then building momentum as we pick up speed. You will find yourself doing new and exciting things. The internet is an incredible journey. Will it be a smooth flight? No. We will encounter some turbulence along way. So just fasten your seat belt, stay on course and you will arrive at your destination.

Also, look for a company that offers continued training, support and motivation from both your upline and company itself.

I would also choose one that is free to join and has a way for you to build your business up on any budget and in your own time . If opportunity is proven to turn it's affiliates into successful home business owners, then they know you will in turn be generating company a profit. So why would they charge you to join and risk frightening you away with a sign-up fee?

Think about that for a minute and I am sure you will come to right conclusion!

I would also go for a company that offers a chance for you to generate residual income, (i.e.: get paid many times for work you do just once) otherwise you will spend most of your time trying to find new customers rather than helping your affiliates become a success.

By helping your affiliates and downlines become successful you will in turn become successful yourself.

Last but not least, you need to be prepared to commit to your opportunity for at least 12 months to give yourself a chance of success. I hear a lot of people saying that three months is long enough to know whether opportunity will work for you, but it will probably take you that long to learn all about opportunity and how to get most out of it. If by spending just 5-10 hours per week for 12 months you could be earning thousands of dollars each month , don't you think that would be worth your time and effort?

Remember, be proud of your opportunity and enjoy your online business and that will come through to your prospects and affiliates. Within 1 to 2 years you could be earning more each month than you did all last year.

Stay with it and never give up your dreams.
