Has this ever happened to you... 'John, you have a lot of mail this morning dear'. Stunned as a goldfish you walk over to the kitchen table and pick up the envelopes. Each one is a quality envelope that has an address label with your name on it. You flick through them and the labels are more or less identical. You open one, then another and you can then start to feel what the others are about. More UK home business opportunity!
But that still doesn't stop you. You'll still want to open all of them, just to make sure. If you have time you read some, as there's no chance of you taking them to work to be embarrassed by your colleagues. 'Checking out your 'junk' mail!' Or you'll leave them there to be read in the evening.
Chances are getting slimmer for the sales person (letter) to get your attention. They want you to read the material immediately. Don't leave it till the evening you could be tired or playing with the kids. 'It can wait till the weekend...' Never happens!
But I have the 'Internet', the information highway...
Good, now what?
The Internet
This is possibly one of the biggest mistakes you can make. Why? You see one business opportunity that catches your interest. Gets you drooling over the page and you can't wait to download it instantly to receive the package, virtually. You're about to pay and 'boom' a pop up occurs. Another UK home business opportunity if not from the US, catches your attention and gets you going and now you're confused, then another and another.
With so much to choose from, it's an absolute craze. At the time of writing there is over 650,000,000 pages of 'work from home' opportunities. That's right, over half a 'billion' pages! Also for 'business opportunity' it's in the 100 million mark.
However, through the post you'll get the odd one now and then, but on the Internet there is instant access to over 750 million pages of information relating to home based business.
Now you'll either spend a couple of thousand or be sceptical and buy nothing. There are too many home business opportunities on the net, which makes it difficult to choose or not choose at all.
The Guarantee Period
This is 'powerful' medium. A general guarantee entails that if the system does not work for you within the next 30 days you can ask for a refund. It has been said that the longer the guarantee period, the more the interest. But figure this... Will you remember that in 3 months, 6 or 8 months time?
This is what could possibly happen. You buy the package and you read it several times if not once. You put it down and do your daily chores or go to work. You keep thinking, 'I'll get round to it'. And as you keep thinking I'll get round to it, the 37 days are over. Now whose fault is that?
So What's A Good Business Opportunity?
There are many factors to cover, but a business opportunity is not compatible for every individual. It might work for one and not the other.
If you do take on a business opportunity, learn to adapt to what it says. If you don't, then you can proudly blame yourself, if you can! One difficult skill to adapt to is to work on your own initiative and in your own time. Finding access to these precious factors is a major problem, especially for some.
You need to make time, work on your own initiative and be self-motivated. That's how you'll become successful.
Summing it up and what Winston Churchill said at a conference once:
Never give up
Never give up
Never, never, never?
