Once You Select a Business, Stop Looking For Another One

By Jack Beddall

If this scenario does not seem familiar to you, you either studied a lot of businesses for a long time, or you haven't been trying to build your home based business search very long.

You go surfing for the next, best business opportunity-- the one that will put all others to shame. You give out your name, email, and phone a few times, and before you know it, your mailbox is filling up, your phone is ringing, and you see even more opportunities than you knew existed. A few of them look interesting, so you enter your information a few more times. You look up, and are positive you are getting mail from everyone in the universe. Finally, you pick one out, give them your money, put your name on the replicated company website, and wait for the money to pour in. And wait. And wait. Finally, to fight the frustration and boredom of a virgin website (not been visited by anyone but you), you start the search all over again. Sound familiar?

Continually surfing the net for your next business opportunity before you have gotten the one you are on up and going, is a sure sign you are not in the right business. If you aren't happy with the company, the products, the pay plan, or the training, it's time to move on. This time, be sure you are making the right choice. Don't make your decision about which business to join without doing all of your homework first. If you don't have a concrete set of guidelines that your business has to meet, you will be tossed to and fro by the hype more than by how the opportunity fits you and your situation.

For help in setting up your guidelines, read my four part series entitled "Evaluating an Online Business-- Things You Should Know..." (The video version has made its way around the Internet. YouTube is a good choice.) It will give you some guidelines for developing your own checklist, and how to stick with what you want. If you choose the correct business for you to start with, the time you are surfing the net now for another business will be spent building the business you have. Once you start a business, stick with it and give it your full attention. You will not be successful if you don't actually work at it, and you will not actually work it unless you have taken the time to find the correct business for you.

Take the time to decide what you want a business to provide you with. You will find yourself far less likely to be swayed by what a business does, and way more likely to choose a business that fits you.
