At one point or another everyone of us has thought about a home based business. You could google the 1000s of choices out there and land a whole lot of spammy junk! Some will be interesting, some a bit whacky so how do you choose what is right for YOU? Here are my top five things to consider when starting your home-based business. PLUS read on to the end to get a free recipe for my Wise & Wellness Shot – a lively way to start out your new adventure!
Quality Matters
Can you get behind the product?
Do you feel there is value in the product? Can you feel good about suggesting it to someone? You’ll hear it time and time again: “You need to be a product of the product.” There is SO much truth behind this! You naturally talk about things that you use and even more about things that you ACTUALLY WANT to use! Would you recommend something you don’t like? Probably not. (And trust me, people won’t like if you do either!)
Similar Values
What is the culture behind the company?
If you have the choice, wouldn't it make sense to work alongside a company that will support you? With people who respect and encourage your growth? Do you want to put your family first? Then it’s important to work with a company that allows you to do that. Working from home presents its own set of challenges – don’t make it harder for yourself by following a company you don’t believe in.
Training
What is available?
Consider what kind of training you’ll receive at the start and find out what kind of ongoing support you can access. Is there an avenue for you to ask questions and get constructive feedback as you learn? Just because you are working FOR yourself, doesn’t mean you have to work BY yourself. Look for companies with lots of resources readily available to help you be successful.
Money Talks
How do you make money?
Make sure you understand any compensation plans so that you know how and when you get paid. Will it take a long time for you to recover your startup costs? Or can you “learn while you earn” and start making money right away? Let’s face it, sometimes we start a home-based business because we’re low on funds. It’s always a bonus if you if you can get up and running quickly and learn as you go! Another important point to consider is whether you will be creating residual income, IE: doing the work once and earning an income from it for life. This is the opposite of the traditional J O B where you're trading your time for money, and only getting paid once.
Proof or Promises
How long has the company been around?
Sure, it would great to get in on the ground level of the “next big thing,” but there is something to be said about a company that has been around for a while. Why? Because this shows it can withstand the test of time. Companies come and go every day and if you want to build a business that can support you financially FOR LIFE, you need to align with a company that will be around for life! These companies have products and systems that have been shown to be successful. A new venture may have lofty promises, but that could be just hot air.
