As I said in an earlier post I am going to start a series of posts about Homebased Business Success Tips. These are short posts with home based business tips that are designed to help you find and succeed with the correct home based business.
Homebased Business Success Tip #1:
Be sure to look for a homebased business that you find enjoyable. Some people will determine they want to work into a homebased business only because they think the pay plan is great or they can make a lot of money. However, I have learned from experience if you do not like the industry, the service, or product of your homebased business you will not like what you have to do from day to day. I learned this with one of my first home based business ventures which was Mary Kay. Mary Kay is a great homebased business. I was part of an organization that had great training and coaching but I hated dealing with cosmetics. I tried to convince myself that because I was a male nurse and had many females working around me that I had a huge group of women who could become clients.
Although it was true I did have a lot of women that could become clients. I did start out working pretty consistent but very quickly became completely bored. There was nothing about make up that interested me. I didn't want to do home parties I didn't want to do facials. It just was not me. Therefore, that business venture failed! I never felt I was scammed the reason I did not succeed was because of me. That homebased business was just not for me. Homebased business success is always dependent on you, so be sure that you find a business that you can enjoy.

Hi Jackie:
You don't know me yet, but it's really amazing how I came across your blog.
I was on blogger last week, and I hadn't posted a blog in months, so I ended up deleting my old blog and starting a new one from scratch.
While I was on the home page, I was looking at the random blogs that scroll on the marquee, and I saw your blog roll by. By happenstance, I clicked on it, and after reading the first post, I signed up for it.
I just turned 21, graduated from a small junior college with a degree in Business Admin., and I have tried Network Marketing my first year of college. I was a Representative for Excel Communications, and for the first couple of weeks, I was super excited about it!
But that soon disipated when I had to constantly badger friends and family to try to change their phone service, or expensive traveling trips to different boroughs to go to another cramped up "presentation meeting", or wasting time printing thousands of flyers and going door to door.
I managed to make my investment money back by signing up 2 reps under me, and helping them get their first reps, but, after that, I realized that I no longer had a passion for it, and decided not to renew.
Since then, I've heard about almost every network marketing "opportunity" including Pre-Paid Legal, Prime America, Quixtar, Mary Kay, Cutco, and they've all left a bad taste in my mouth.
But I must admit, after reading your biography, that it really inspired me. Honestly, I even had a heart to heart w. my father after it, and explained to him your story, and we recollected all of the drama I went through with Excel.
I feel such a connection to you Jackie, even though we have not met. I checked out your website and I'm totally going to sign up.
A couple of my friends are majoring in Hospitality, Travel and Tourism, so I'm going to forward them some info too. I'm not working at the moment, but once I save up the initial investment, you can count me in!
I hope to hear from you soon.
Take care and I'll keep reading up on your blog when you post.
