Vending Machines and the Lure of the Instant Home Based BusinessWritten by Mike Corbin
If you are considering vending machines as a home based business here are three very brief facts about vending. 1) Vending machines will start to earn revenue for your home based business almost immediately. 2) A brand new, high quality machine is actually very inexpensive. 3) Any machine at right location has very realistic possibility of paying for itself well within one year. These three simple facts are from my 8 years of experience owning a vending business. I remember day my first machine went into a location. It was a cigarette machine and after we hung it up on wall in bar we sat around and had a few beers. Within 30 minutes after we were done I watched my first customer walk up to my machine and buy a pack of cigarettes. I saw instant cash flow happen, and it was wonderful. I overpaid for that machine. It should have cost me only $2,400.00 plus tax, but instead I paid over $8,000.00 because I dealt with a business opportunity company and they gave me a location when I bought that machine from them. I can tell you, there is nothing more satisfying than watching someone put money into your vending machine. When I watched my first customer buy from me, last thing I thought about was how much I spent, my business was now making money!

Once you have made your choice, two most important things are to stay focused and not to get discouraged...it takes a long time to become an overnite success!I've had many active and enthusiastic business team members that were their own worst enemies because they exhibited classic "flea on a griddle" behavior pattern and jumped around chasing one business opportunity today, and then another one tomorrow without ever putting in enough sustained and focused effort to reasonably give themselves a chance to succeed at any of them. I can really relate to this situation since I briefly fell prey to this same "dog in a meat market" syndrome when I first started my own home based business a few years ago. I caught myself trying to chase several different opportunities at once and not being very successful with any of them. There are so many home business opportunities (some real, some not) that it takes real personal discipline to avoid scattergun approach...you know, throw enough against wall and something is bound to stick. In early going, it is really important to resist this temptation and to stay tightly focused on a single business.
