The Icing on the Cake {look past the sugary coating in MLM research}

So you're looking for a Home Based Business?

It's confusing as HECK isn't it?

So many opportunities are blinking and flashing at you, promising amazing compensation, unheard of profits, huge incomes...

How do you know what is for REAL?

How do you know what one is right for YOU?

Research, research, research!

Now matter how yummy that frosting looks be sure to look past the sugary coating and dive into the moist center of every opportuntiy.

• Ask how much it costs to join and what does this include...
• Ask how much it costs per month in dollars and cents (some opportunities boast a 'point' system where a handful of points can be much more $ than expected)
• Ask if you have to spend more should you decide to build a team (often a monthly commitment goes UP in order to collect your residuals)
• Ask if your team can break away (in some companies you may actually LOSE a valuable leg of your team once they reach a certain level)
• Ask if your distributorship is bequeathable (if your family is able to 'inherit' your distributorship if you die)

Due diligence is key, interview several sponsors, get a feel for the personality and the business ethics of the person you are considering working with.  Are they able to help you?  How do they work their business?  What are their goals?  What have they accomplished?

A home business is so much more than the icing on the cake, it's a package deal, icing, gooey filling, the cake itself and even some luscious berries to boot.  

No matter which company you choose you are going to have to look at where you are, figure where you want to be, and take the steps to get there!
