You see, I was in a franchise. I thought that since I had entered into a business of my own and if I worked it hard enough, I would have success. Man, I was dead wrong.

What I learned is that I could have all drive and determination in world, but unless I was behind a timeless, constant and steady product, it would be impossible to succeed.

What I am talking about, is an Evergreen product. When I was introduced to business I am currently in, I quickly learned power of an evergreen product. An evergreen product is something that is going to be around for a longtime. Everyone has to be able to use it. It must be a product in high demand consistently.

Health and Beauty sectors produce evergreen products. But, take cosmetics for example…that’s only 50% of market you’re selling to. I was fixing auto glass at a gas station… This service covered more of market, as both men and woman drive cars. But, I was still very limited. First off…I only had influx of cars coming into that one particular station. And, second…some customers, even if they did have chips in their windshield, didn’t want my service because they already used another auto servicing center for all their auto needs.
