WHY REINVENT THE WHEEL?
By
Greg Demario
Have you ever read one of those personality profile books?
They often say that some people have great amounts of inspiration
and are "big picture" people. They also say that some have the
inborn ability to be able to keep up with details. Not surprisingly
they are called "detail oriented" people and often "detail oriented"
people are the most successful, once they are going in the right
direction.
There are ways to start an Internet business without having to have
a lightning bolt of inspiration but you must be careful. Joining an
existing team is by far the easiest method of starting an Internet
business. Here's what to look for....
First, you should find something that you can BELIEVE IN. This is a
key factor because when you are doing something that you believe in
work becomes less like work and more like fun. Having a NATURAL
ENTHUSIASM for what you are doing will motivate you every day.
Secondly, make sure the company offers the amount of SUPPORT you
will need. You won't need support forever but there will be a
learning curve. It should be THEIR RESPONSIBILITY to get you past
that curve as soon as possible.
Thirdly, make sure the product is in demand. If you find a company
that sells buggy whips or hula hoops, you're in for an uphill
battle. It must be a product or service that people NEED AND WANT.
Fourth, what is their selling system? Look for something simple and
unique. Customers who get involved will want to be able to do
business in a straightforward manner without a lot of confusing
hoops to jump through.
Fifth, and finally, do they offer a product or service that is
repeatable? In the business world it is often the people who provide
basic services or products that get ahead. There are three major
categories in which most products and services fit.
First, products and services necessary for life. Food and clothing
for instance. Secondly, products and services that are optional, but
that most everyone has or anticipates getting soon. A laptop instead
of a desktop computer is optional for most people. Cable TV or
satellite dishes are as well.
We don't have to have them, but life is sure easier with them. Last,
there are the luxuries. A recent study showed that a digital watch
found in a cereal box kept the same time as one costing thousands of
dollars. Spending thousands on a watch is a luxury.
You can find a business that's fun, profitable and meets the
criteria needed to be a good bet to succeed without having some huge
moment of inspiration. If you can find a business that meets the
above criteria, run it like a business and be consistent you will
achieve a level of success that often eludes the hotshot "big
picture" people. I wish you the best.
