*reasonable income expectations touted by
top management of company offering opportunity.
*support systems and training resources available to help participants succeed.
One thing that really struck home with me was a statement made by founder of company that I eventually selected for my home based business. It went something like following:
"Hardly a day goes by that I don’t hear from an affiliate questioning why he or she is not seeing a big check yet. More times than not, person asking hasn’t even been involved for more than 90 days and is only barely beginning to even understand how whole system works. And frankly, even if number was six months, it’s still much too early to be expecting a significant income stream to have developed.
I always say that if you’re not willing to give a business at least a year, don’t even bother getting involved. You need to understand that it takes time to get to know all nuances of compensation plan. It takes time to determine which products you want to lead with. It takes time to develop a game plan. It takes time to figure out what marketing activities deliver biggest bang for buck. Anything worthwhile takes sustained effort. If you’re not thinking long term, you’ve set yourself up for failure."
To sum it up, selection process should focus on reality (there is no "magic" in home based businesses) and reject any so-called home business"opportunities" that seem too good to be true.
