Working From Home: Haven or House Arrest?
The typical Multi-level Marketer (MLM) starts out more or less the same way. He grows tired of his 9-5 routine, feels sick of being ordered around by his bosses and other superiors, gets pissed at the hassles of commuting, wants to make more time to do the things he likes, and ultimately dreams of attaining financial security sooner than later. The notion of working from home sounds too enticing to pass up. But there are pitfalls that must be addressed before taking the plunge and starting from scratch.
One of the biggest threats to the direction a prospective MLM faces is the concept of a lottery mentality and that everything will come easy once the research has been done and the setups are all in place. This mindset is a recipe for disaster and should be a blaring alarm not to pursue this type of business. No one becomes an overnight millionaire in this industry, and that is the sad reality being covered up by so-called sponsors who claim that taking part in MLM is the fast pass to a better life.
The saying "too good to be true" rings all too familiar in the ears of many frustrated marketers. Of course, most of them have been duped by fellow marketers themselves, claiming that certain products or services are of groundbreaking nature and will change the course of history in a matter of years, if not months. While MLM companies do provide neophyte marketers with kits and guides, success will still hinge on the marketers' capability to make do with what the have. The process of marketing is still reliant on the individual and their commitment to perform above their own peers. A sound business strategy is definitely the way to go, but it goes far beyond that.
Because it is not only a commitment that marketers are dealing with, but also a long-term one at that. From a psychological standpoint, a marketer who is only dipping his toes into the water to get a feel of the industry has no business being there and should abandon all hope of earning anything significant, because a half-hearted attempt will turn in zero returns. Also take into consideration that even if marketers work from their homes, all the legalities still enter the picture. There are still taxes to be paid even if marketers only handle their own laptops and keep their wonder drugs in the pantry.
Motivations for marketers working from home must not be emotionally-triggered. It cannot be due to external factors such as a disagreeable colleague at work or disputes with regards to compensation. The primary motivation of a new marketer must be a desire to perform in this field with realistic expectations of what he wants to achieve. Companies will always say that marketers cannot fail once they become a part of their MLM business. However, it all boils down to whether marketers are receptive to innovative ideas that will push them over the top. Marketers are in the continual struggle of seeking those promises of grandeur and more in the comforts of working from home.

About the Author: Robert Hathhorn RSS for Robert's articles - Visit Robert's website There are many lessons from my childhood which have served me well through my life, but none better than being willing to learn new things, embrace change, and roll up my sleeves for some good old fashioned hard work. Hi, my name is Robert Hathhorn. My first online 'opportunity' involved buying leads and placing classified ads, and I learned very quickly that this was a dead end street. The most important lesson from that experience was that the most successful people online know how to generate their own high quality leads. I could see that with the right education, it was possible to build a business on the Internet and the possibilities for growth were huge. So I went looking for a way to learn how to market professionally online. The focus was on improving skills and delivering quality and value. And my lifetime of experience in business told me that this was the only way I wanted to build an enterprise of my own online. It is a new frontier that is growing by the minute, but I know that to be successful online, you have to roll up your sleeves and learn the skills to attract the attention of prospective customers and business partners. If you also find yourself looking online for ways to build a business of your own, and take control of your finances and your life, take this lesson from me... Do your due diligence, ask all the hard questions and above all else, make sure you are entering in to an opportunity where you will be taught how to market on the Internet in a professional way. Online business is not so different to offline; it is all about the value and honesty you bring to your market.

Re: What is Your Favorite Thing About Owning A Business?
- [quote="freddyb45":1t3lpfi8]For me it's the fact that all the time and effort you put in is worth a lot more, due to it making you "business" more profitable. Working for yourself is also a positive, although employing people you can trust is quite different.[/quote:1t3lpfi8]
I like this idea. Working for yourself means you are investing in your own future, not someone else's, although there is value in working for someone else first to gain experience and confidence.
Working for yourself does not automatically mean success, fame and fortune. For most entrepreneurs, it takes much work and dedication to get to the point of financial success and comfort - sometimes years. But the benefit is, again, you know you are investing in yourself and building equity for your own future.

Re: Trade Shows - Are They Worth It?
- HI,
I have used trade shows (not participated) to collect potential clients. For example, the Home & Garden Industry is extremely behind the time in regards to their websites. I attended an Home & Garden Expo in Denver and collected all the companies contact information. I plan on cold calling & mailing information to each business.
It also gave me time to research the industry more, talk directly to the owners in many cases, and learn more about what they need.
