Hi, I'm back!
Hi everyone at Starting your own business,
I have been very bad at keeping my relationships here on Eons up to date. I got the holiday-itis good this year!
I think that these tips may be helpful for new people looking for a home business, or for us "seasoned" people just as reminders!
I believe that one of the biggest reasons that people work from home is for Time Freedom, then end up never taking time off!! Once you realize that everything that you do is for YOU it changes how hard you want to work!!
You need to set "office hours" and time off, just as if you had a corporate job. The cool thing is that YOU get to choose what those hours are from week to week!
Anyway, I know that many people are looking for work from home right now. Either New Years resolutions, or Christmas bills!! I'd like to post a helpful guideline for those that are looking at all of the overwhelming offers, and trying to make sense of what to look for.
Remember, this is just a guideline. If you have any questions about starting your own business in general, I've been doing this for 25 years now, and would be glad to help you.
Company Check List:
There are 5 essential characteristics that a company must have to survive long-term in this industry. As I go through these five areas, take note and see if what you have done before you might find that one or more of these areas were missing or lacking, thereby reducing your possibilities of success. I’m going to list them and let’s see how Scent-Sations stacks up.
1. LOW UNIT COST - In other words, a broad segment of the American population must be able to afford these products.
2. IT MUST BE HIGHLY CONSUMABLE - You must be able to make a sale and have the product get used up or consumed and re-purchased over and over again by the same consumer.
3. THERE NEEDS TO BE A CERTAIN MYSTIQUE OR EXCLUSIVITY - That is to say you can’t run down to your local Wal-Mart and buy this same quality of product at the same price or less money.
4. THERE NEEDS TO BE AN ADEQUATE MANAGEMENT TEAM IN PLACE - Proven leaders who have been there done that, and willing to bring on qualified people to build a worldwide company.
5. THERE NEEDS TO BE AN ADEQUATE PROFIT MARGIN - To fund both the company and the distributors network.
I'd be very happy to share with you how my company fits with these guidelines. Just visit my profile and leave a question!
Happy Hunting!
