"Only those who
risk going too far, can possibly find out how far one can go."
T.S. Eliot
You have 2 basic choices in your work life:
Work for someone Else - or
- WORK FOR YOURSELF!
Strangely enough most employees work harder for the success of their
employer than themselves. It is OK to work for your own success.
Will
your present JOB or Business give you what you REALLY
want over the next 2-4 years? If not why are you doing
it? And why not look for something that will?
If
you are interested in your future you should
investigate another opportunity thoroughly?
How
many people (including yourself) really like their current
situation?
 |
Do
you have all the money you would like?
|
|
Do you have all the free time you would like?
|
|
Do you really like what you do?
|
|
Do
you determine your income?
|
|
Are
you paid what you are worth?
|
If the answer to
any of the above is "NO" then ask yourself, why not?
As mentioned elsewhere, if you
were going to invest your time, money etc in a business, would you
want one that is growing rapidly or one that is old and no one wants
the products?
I have asked a number of successful business people; if they could
design their "Perfect" business/investment what would be some of the
key elements. Below are several of the key elements of the
"Perfect" business/investment mentioned:
|
Low risk / High return
|
|
Low entry cost
|
|
Rapidly expanding industry / market
|
|
Proprietary / Patented products
|
|
No limit to income
|
|
High time / effort leverage
|
|
Products that are effective, affordable,
profitable and add value
|
|
Global market
|
|
No "glass ceiling"
|
|
Flexible time commitments
|
You are at the "Right Place" and this is the
"Right Time." The only question is: do you recognize it and
will you take advantage of it? Remember the
Millionaire's Mind section,
they were able to recognize opportunities where most others were
not.
Selecting the correct business/investment is critical.
In
evaluating any business make sure you have adequate information to
make an "Educated" and "Informed"
decision. Below are a few areas that you should investigate:
|
Company:
(strong, experienced and well financed) |
|
Market:
(rapidly growing) |
|
Industry:
(established and growing) |
|
Products:
(unique, patented, work, add real value to people) |
|
Training:
(extensive, simple, worldwide) |
|
Marketing/Opportunity:
(simple, proven, effective, no financial limit, no "glass
ceilings") |
Get
all the information you need to make and informed decision. I
will help.
As I mentioned on the Home
page, I have, over time been asked about businesses that are simple,
low cost, can produce various amounts of income and do not require a
large Overhead. Below are examples of various Franchises and
Businesses that follow the more "Traditional" business approach,
i.e. large investment and their comparison to the ones that I have
presented on the Business/Income Opportunity page.
Business Income Opportunities
Comparison of
Numerous Licensing and Franchise Opportunities
Obviously, many
opportunities exist for the franchising and licensing of business concepts.
Most of these concepts have extremely high capital requirements in addition to
the initial fee, mostly to purchase inventory, hire employees, secure retail
space, and so forth. With the businesses I have presented here the income potential compared to
the required capital is truly extraordinary. Also, the overhead is
virtually non-existent compared to the "traditional" business.
