Return To Business Opportunities Article Archive   How Do You Recognize A Rip - Off Business Opportunity By Blondie Clayton What are they promising? Do they say you can make triple what you are making a week now, working 40-hours, with no work, no meetings, no inventory, without leaving home? Are they saying you can get up when you want; that you will never have to lift a finger to sell a product, or speak to anyone? Dream on! It's attractive but keep your money. What type of business are you going to start and you have no part to play? None! Those that are suckered in come with the end result in mind. Yes, it is possible to build a business model where at some point in time you enjoy the fruits of your labor. But not right away. There is a price to be paid. By the time opportunities like this come around, the hardworking employee who has slaved for so long for pennies is a sure mark, only to discover that it was all glitter and to fall by the wayside turned off for the next opportunity that comes along, which just might be the right one. Business opportunities are every where but there are no free rides. In other words, if you put nothing in, you will get nothing out. There are many multi-level business opportunities that will work, if you work them. Yes, the key word here is "work." Research of unhappy business opportunity seekers revealed that those who were most disappointed were the ones who saw the dollar signs and ignored the work. When the smoke cleared they did not want to do the work to succeed. Using the computer to research business opportunity, connects the seeker faster than if they had to seek it out on their own. The offers are endless. You can find an opportunity for just about any subject. Each one promises the pie in the sky. Do not buy the pie until you check it out. The biggest mistakes opportunity seekers make too often, not knowing enough about business. It is that lack of knowledge which keeps them from asking the right questions before they jump in. Here are some things to consider before you jump into the non-traditional business opportunity: Capital outlay. How much is it to get started? What am I getting upfront as part of that fee? Are there training tools? Do they have cost? How much? How do I purchase my product or service? Find out about the company. Who started it? Their background. Is the product something you feel you can sell? Can you use the product yourself? Do they provide ongoing education and how much does it cost? Will that education be by phone, computer, or at a designated local area? What is the company's turn-a-round time for delivery? If a product has to be returned, what is the procedure? Are there guarantees? Does the company stand behind its product? If there is a person who invited you in, can you surpass that person if you do more work?It is okay if that person gets paid something for bringing you in but you want to make sure you are not in a pyramid, where there is no chance of out working the person who brought you in. Will your bonuses come directly from the company or a person? You want to get paid directly from the company, not a person. If that person has financial problems, you may never see your money. Are there rules about adding on another multi-level business? Go over what you can make for your efforts. Ask questions about how you get paid. Make sure you understand it. Do not assume anything. Get in the business not just for the unrealistic money you can make, but because you are willing to work to make the money and it is something you can get passionate about. Set a goal as to how much you want to make. Will this get you where you want to go? What will you have to do to make it happen? A Business Opportunity is a great way to increase your income, become debt free and build financial stability for your family. Developing a non-traditional business income stream builds financial leverage, confidence and control over your financial future. Blondie L. Clayton is a Realization StrategistTM.
