Unleashing The Entrepreneur In You Means Finding The Right Business For You.

You are an entrepreneur at heart. You know it, you can feel it, you can sense it. You can feel your heart about ready to pound out of your chest when you think about all the things that you KNOW you can be doing, IF you had control of your time and had the finances. Your friends and family see it in you also. You believe that you were destined for something bigger, something better, something that would allow you to leave a LEGACY of your life behind... long after you are gone!! You know that it is your time.

"Tim", you say, "you are right! I know that I am destined for something greater, but how do I find the right opportunity?" That is a good question. You really do have to find the opportunity or the business that is right for you. There are literally thousands, even hundreds of thousands of thousands of work from home or home based businesses available to you. But how do you know which one is right for you?

Here are 3 questions that you need to ask yourself:

1. As you are building your business, HOW CAN YOU HELP OTHERS?

"What? Help others? I thought that I was in business for my benefit?", you may say. And yes, you are. But remember what Zig Ziglar says: "Help enough people get what they want and you WILL get what you want!" Now, for some people, getting what they want may be to lose some weight, some may want better health, and some may want wealth. What ever it is that they want, have the attitude of helping them get what they want. And this opportunity has to in some way give you the chance to help them do just that!

2. Very key item here! "Is this product or service that you will be providing be something that YOU can believe in?" Now this is EXTREMELY important because if you don't believe in the product/service that you will be providing, believe me when I tell you, your potential customer or prospect will be able to sense it!! There are too many people to count who have tried to sell or represent something that they didn't believe in, and eventually failed or gave up, quit, or blamed the product/service or the company or the support team. Truthfully, most likely the product/service was quality, but it wasn't right for them and they NEVER believed in it and people they talked to could tell.

Finally, and the thing that is most important to look for in a business opportunity is.....CAN YOU TEACH OTHER PEOPLE HOW TO DO THIS?

Think about this: A store owner can't be at his/her store every day all day (well he/she could, but would not have a life to live), so he/she needs to train someone to be able to run the store while he/she is gone. A smart business owner will "leverage" his/her time by hiring people to do the majority of the work so that he/she can focus on ways to build his/her business. Therefore, the person he/she puts in charge must be able to teach others to do specific jobs also so that the store runs efficiently and productively. So your opportunity choice has to have a system that you can use, and one that you can teach to others easily (helping others) to be able to do the same thing, causing you to be successful. When you can use a PLUG AND PLAY system to help you recruit, sign-up people, and train, then MOST of the hard work is done!! Then all you have to do is to teach others how to PLUG AND PLAY. In NO WAY am I saying that no effort is needed to be successful because EVERY beginning takes effort to build a foundation and get things rolling. BUT, can you imagine the POTENTIAL of a system like that, once you have taught others how to apply it and they have taught their others to apply it? The longer you work that system, and the more people you teach (and help them teach others) how to use the same system, IT WILL BECOME self perpetuating! Imagine the growth of your business in 6 months, 12 months, 18 months!! It will grow exponentially, and it will be 100% automated!

So there you have it:

1. How can you help others?
2. Is the product/service something that you can believe in?
3. Can you teach others to do the same thing?

There are many fantastic companies and opportunities with teachable systems out there, so find the one that is right for you.

I hope this article was useful in helping you decide, FIRST, if you are ready to unleash the entrepreneur in you. SECOND, to help you know what to look for in an opportunity. Thank you for reading my article.
