Anyway, on point of this thread, the thing I have found over a 20 year period where I tried 2 companies, Mary Kay Cosmetics and Quixtar, is that you must not go into somthing because someone else "pressures" you to or "convinces" you that you would be great at it. If you don't feel the excitement and total belief that you can do this and want to do this, then there is NO shame in continuing to look for what works for YOU. In the last 15 years my husband and I developed and ran our own lodging business. It was great. the "selling" was easy for with advertising, the customers were already interested in us when they called. With the two companies I listed above, the reason they did not work for me is the way you had to go out and "get" customers to buy and eventually, sign up under you. The whole process made me feel uncomfortable. BUT, that's just ME. With Internet Marketing, I'm in my element. There are so many avenues that allow me to custom tailor my ways to develop streams of income. So, the most important thing I can share is to:

1. Take you time before committing to any business. Do not act on impulse, but on education. Allow yourself time to brainstorm and explore the possible business ideas.

2. RESEARCH, RESEARCH, RESEARCH, especially for scam reports. I do this: in your search engine, type the name of the business+review see what pops up.

3. Try not to be in a position of "having to make money NOW", as you search for and develop your business. Haste does make waste, and leaves you vulnerable to snap decisions and open to greed based, not good sense based, actions.

4. Take time to lay a solid foundation. I've been working on my startup foundation for a little over a month. A lot of reading, setting things up, writing and developing my plan. I'm giving myself one year to reach the financial goal I have set. No regrets to date!

Until next time...
