Four Deadly Mistakes to Avoid Before You Start Your Own Business
By Gerald Lewis
Now, more than ever seniors are looking for a legitimate home business opportunity. On
the internet there seems to literally be a business opportunity everywhere you turn. What
99 percent of people don't realize is that, YES, there is a ton of money to be made online
IF you know where to look. I want to share with you a few secrets and tips to avoid before
you start your own business.
Naturally, when it comes to a home based business there are common mistakes that people
make and common misconceptions that people have when getting involved with internet marketing.
Mistake number 1
Don't rush into it. Do your own research. You might have heard a speaker or a friend
mention how great an opportunity is, and how he or she raked in great money. Sometimes we
get carried away in the success stories of others that we forget to get the details of how
the success was achieved. You get details simply by asking questions. For example:
• How much work is needed?
• What methods were used?
• Was it done online or offline?
• How many partners did he or she have?
• What is there background?
• Is any coaching offered?
• Is skill or experience needed?
• How can your experiences be applied in a situation to help you be
successful as well?
Now, normally, these are great questions to ask, because some people have more business
experience than others, or some have developed some special skills that have helped them
succeed. But the internet will ask none of these questions. The internet only cares what
you do.
Mistake number 2
Don't be taken by the "easy money myth". There is no such thing as easy money in most
cases. I personally believe that something that is not worked for is not worth having, and
would most likely not last. People who are looking for a home based business opportunity
in the belief that it could be a way to make easy money are definitely going to be
disappointed. Once they realize the real work they have to put into it, they quit before
they discover that there really is a massive amount of money to be made online.
But there is no such thing as a web site that will do everything for you and all you
need to do is sit back, pay a monthly fee, and collect the money. However, if you take the
time and are willing to learn how it's done, it can be done and in a much shorter time
period than you though possible. We're only talking months and not the years it could take
doing it any other way.
