Do you ever wonder whether you are cut out to work from home? I ask this question because not everyone is. Some people need the camaraderie that co-workers provide. They need to socialize on a regular basis and do not enjoy being alone.
This is a question that you must ask yourself before you consider working from home. You will be making a big mistake if you give up the corporate world without first realizing that you may miss the daily human contact.
For some reason, this is something that many people fail to consider before making the switch to working from home. They may take many other things into consideration, such as the luxury of being their own boss, no morning commute, not having to ask for vacation time, etc.
Of course, you can still communicate with the outside world through email and the telephone. You can even take a break and go shopping in order to be with other people. The fact is though, that a normal office provides a lot of socialization that you will never get elsewhere.

Top 3 Reasons To Choose A Network Marketing Company
I believe you should look for three things when choosing a network marketing company. When all three of these are present, you should feel good about your decision. The first thing is a good management team. These people should have good reputations in the industry and should demonstrate the highest integrity.
The second thing to look for is a good sponsor. It is a good idea to visit with another potential sponsor if the first person you talk to doesn’t possess the qualities you are looking for. In my case, my sponsor and I build our businesses in a very similar manner.
She is always available when I have questions, and she always goes above and beyond the call of duty when I need her. She sends her downline her personal schedule when she will be out of town so that we know when she will be out of touch. Even then, she makes fairly regular contact with a computer so that she is not unavailable for long periods of time.
The third thing is a good product. You do not want to be selling and promoting something that is not up to your standards. You want to be part of a company who offers great products and customer service. You should place an order for the product before you join so that you can test it for yourself.

Do Your Friends Really Want To Be Dragged To An Opportunity Meeting?
I don’t know about you, but I would rather stick a hot poker in my eye than attend an opportunity meeting. I have a friend who is involved in network marketing, as I am, but her company hosts these meetings quite frequently at a hotel meeting room in town.
I have politely turned down her invitations in the past, so she finally stopped inviting me to go. Whew! What a relief. She is very enthusiastic about her nutrition company, and that is great, but give me a break! I am not interested.
I hope she eventually reaches the conclusion that this is no way to build a business. Nobody that I know wants to spend their time at these meetings. What about you? Are you trying to build a business this way? How successful have you been? If your business is flourishing as a result of these meetings, I would bet that you are a rarity.
Most people are really busy these days. They have better things to do than listen to some company guru tout the benefits of joining their business. These guys fly in from all over hoping to persuade people to sign up. Even if they are successful in their attempt, most of these new team members don’t last very long.

Let Network Marketing Save You From Your JOB
Have you ever wondered whether network marketing can save you from your job? You know, having to ask for vacation time, sick leave, etc.? Don’t you find it strange that as an adult you are still required to ask permission for these things?
I truly hope that someday I can escape from the employee rat-race and become my own boss. It would be so nice to take a day off whenever I please, and not be required to call the boss whenever I am so sick I can barely dial the phone.
This certainly won’t happen any time soon because I have only been in this business for about nine months, but I hope to eventually work from home exclusively. I will get up each morning when I am good and ready and make the five-second commute to my home office.
I will work as many hours as I see fit and take as many breaks during the day as I want. I will stop working and go for a walk if the notion strikes me. I will take the entire day off if I want. What a great life that would be. I will not stop working my business until I have reached the goal of working from home.
What about you? Do you dream of working from home, too? As I see it, the only way to accomplish this is to either win the lottery or put our noses to the grindstone in our home businesses. They say the only way to fail in this business is to give up, and I have no intentions of doing that.
I hope you won’t give up, either. Your reasons for wanting to work from home may be different from mine, but that is not the point. The point is that we must keep our goal in mind at all times in order to reach it. We must wake up each day with that goal in mind and strive to reach it.

Truth In Network Marketing
If there were more truth in network marketing, I believe there would be less people who become frustrated and quit. It prospects were told in the beginning that this business takes time and a lot of hard work, they would probably not join in the first place. Or they would realize what it does take and would do everything necessary to hang in there until they reach their goals.
The sad fact is, though, that there is simply not much truth being told. Some network marketers are so desperate to build a downline that they tell people they can become rich overnight. They may even tell them that they won’t have to do a thing. Some even go so far as to tell their prospects that they will do all the work for them.
This is ridiculous, of course, but some people actually fall for it. They join a company in the hopes that all they have to do is sign up and become rich. Truly intelligent people should know better, but some of us want to believe it really is that easy. We want to believe it so badly that we shell out our hard-earned money to join these biz ops.
We soon find ourselves quitting and feeling a sense of shame for falling for such a scam. I know this first-hand, because I have been there. I finally came to my senses and realized that if something appears too good to be true, it probably is. There are no free rides in life.
There are good companies out there looking for distributors, but you have to work hard to succeed. You have to give your business time to grow. You have to know that putting forth a good effort for just a few months is not adequate. It takes at least a couple of years to get any business off the ground.

Your Warm Market and Network Marketing
If you use the “warm market strategy” in an attempt to build your network marketing business, you are doomed to fail. How many of your friends and family members have expressed a desire to do network marketing? I know in my case, I have only a couple of friends who do what I do. However, they are in different companies, and they build mostly offline. My interest is only in building online.
What I am getting at here is that your warm market is not interested in doing what you do. That is true in most cases, anyway. You may have a friend or relative who shows an interest once they see how well you are doing, but in that case, let them come to you. You will know that they are good prospects because they have come to you expressing an interest.
Your best prospects will come to you; not the other way around. If you approach people trying to sell them on your business concept or your products, you will experience a lot of rejection. Most people don’t have the desire to become involved in network marketing because they just don’t “get it”.

The Power of Time
The power of time should not be under-estimated. This is especially true in internet marketing. Building an online presence takes determination, hard work, and time. The truth of the matter is, it does not matter what type of business you want to build. You must give it time to work.
It is both your friend and your enemy at the same time. What I mean by that is we all have the same twenty-four hours in a day. Those hours can be very productive or we can waste them; it is our choice.
Many people in internet marketing become so frustrated by the length of time it takes to build a business that they end up quitting. Their income after six months is so insignificant that they believe they are spinning their wheels. If they had just given it a couple more years, they may have seen a very significant income increase.
That is why time is so important. The more that you put into your business, the more successful you will be. The more time you give your business to grow, the more your online presence will build. More people will find you who are looking to work from home.
You also learn a lot about building a business over time. If you read and study, you eventually become very adept and are able to teach others what you know. The more you know and the more you are able to pass on to others, the more your business grows.
