I have An Idea.......

I have been associated with many many home businesses.
To name a few –Pre-Paid Legal, VM Direct, Global Travel, Cruise to Cash, Magnum IQ. As well as some well established businesses like - Avon, & Mary Kay. I also dabbled in vending machines and some online affiliate marketing like giving away vacation vouchers.
Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not lazy by any means but it takes work to master a business. The only one that guaranteed and paid a return was Avon, however small.
It’s just tedious work; you have to pass out all these books, then take and place orders, & maintain the site. Then when the order comes in, everything is all over the place in these small boxes, and you have to match the product with each person’s order and place in individual bags, tag, deliver and TRY to collect your money. By the way- you also have to order and pay for your own supplies, like samples, bags, books, etc. Man, can I get a break? After all that, most times I spent my $12 back on their products.
I’m not saying those other businesses wouldn’t have worked, but believe me when they said it takes money to make money. Yes it takes money alright. Lots! Marketing is a kick ass, or shall I say… a kick buck! It kicked mine until it died. First you’ve got to put up the money to join the business, and then you’ve got to advertise it. Some even require you to go to weekly, and/or monthly meetings and drag a potential sucker, I mean partner with you. Oh and what about those that offer support. That’s a joke. I personally experienced those so called supporters who called me daily to feed me all their business gab and then as soon as I joined and paid them my money--- the calls stop. I’m done.
In my years of experiencing all this, I’ve discover the best business is Your Own. What I mean by that is – your own idea or concept. This way—you make your own rules and financial statement. Now you’ve still got to advertise, but at least you’re not buying into somebody else’s idea nor are you paying just to spend time and gas on meetings that go over that same dam silt over and over each time.!!! “Shut up already”.
If you’re going to start a business, stop and think. ((( pause ))), think about something that you’re good at and enjoy. ---wait a minute---I mean legal and with your clothes on. Get a name for your business and brand it. Prepare your own marketing tools like business cards, flyers, etc. You know those family members who wouldn’t even answer your phone calls anymore because they knew you had another one of those “businesses in a box” to throw at them…..well family tend to support you when – It’s Yours. They take pride in believing that success runs in the family when you create something new.
So for years and I do mean years, I’ve been exploring the idea of writing. Well you know what; I’m just going to do it. Yes I’m going to write. So get ready, but I must warn you that I’m going to put a lot of me in there. Naturally because I just told you to do what you know, right? Well Rea knows Rea.
Stay in touch and follow as I jump in with what I got. Float or Dope, I’m going to do it.
