Many of us are seeking what we might consider to be the Number 1 Home Based Business. Whether it be a nutritional product or some other type of program the truth is that if your opportunity is from a reputable, respected company, the biggest deciding factor will always be…you!No matter what the product is or what the company stands for or how successful the person is who is trying to recruit you into their company you always have to go back to the basics-personally. If your mindset and goals are aligned properly and you are willing to roll up your sleeves and just Do The Work, virtually any well-financed, well run company with unique products and services can be the number 1 home based business for you.Some considerations and questions you might want to ask yourself if you have decided that Network Marketing is the type of home based business you want to build:Do You Like People?Multi Level Marketing is, has been and always will be a “people” oriented business. It is very true that you do not have to be an amazing “in your face” salesperson to be successful in this business, but you do need to have an interest in others well-being, building relationships, being a great leader and sharing a great product or service. This is the reason that historically, schoolteacher’s have become Great Network Marketer’s once they realize that the money is not in becoming a great salesperson, but becoming a great leader, and a great teacher of the marketing method you decide on.Does The Company Have a Vision?To really build a long-term successful business in the Network Marketing arena, you need to realize early on that this really IS a business, and success usually does not come overnight. Therefore, you want to find a company that is not just famous for its products but also has a mission of some sort that is greater than the products, the lifestyle you can create for yourself, or the compensation plan that we all dream of conquering. find a company that has a vision of Philanthropy is a good rule of thumb to choose from. Companies such as Our World Network that not only has a fabulous life-changing nutritional product and a great compensation plan, but also has their own charity which last year donated over $1,000,000 to childhood leukemia research. Now that is something that makes a company stand out and gives you a “Cause” to support while you build your Number 1 Home Based Business.Do You Truly Love Their Products & Services?Do not go into a Network Marketing Business simply because you have a notion that it will be a great way to make money. If there is no product or service…I can guarantee you that it is a pyramid scam. If they are products that you feel are not really that unique and do not have aspects that make it stand head and shoulders above the competition, you will not develop the passion that you really need to promote it month after month and year after year. With a reputable company this is generally not the case as most products that find their way into the Multi Level Marketing distribution model, do so because they are so unique that they do not sell on store shelves very well.Do You Have an Interest in Computers & The Internet?Although I have stated above that the number 1 reason to enter this industry is because you are a “people” person, the Internet is really what makes Network Marketing the Number 1 Home Based Business today. The Internet is how you supercharge your efforts after building your business locally – the traditional way. Adding online marketing techniques to your business is what allows you to spread your wings and truly build a Global Business because of its inherent communication capabilities.
