In many ways finding the perfect home based business for you is a lot like finding a spouse.
Here are a couple of reasons why...
You don't commit after just one date You wouldn't marry the first girl (or guy) you took on a date right? Most people want to look around and meet other people before deciding that they are ready to settle down.
After all if you don't look at others how do you know that yours is so special? Same is true with a home based business.
You want to look at several different companies before joining the first one you see.
That doesn't mean that you join and bunch of different businesses it just means that you take a look at a few before you fall in love and join the first one you see.
You need to look at their track record When looking at a business you need to look at their track record.
How many people in the company are really making money? How long do people generally stay in the business? Has the company followed through on all of their promises to their reps? Ect.
Just like you would want to know your future spouses dating history you should know the history of your business as well.
You need to know what they can do for you Relationships are about give and take.
Just like you wouldn't want to give and give and give and never get anything back from your spouse you want to know that when you give something to your business they will give you something valuable in return.
What's in it for you!? You have to ask yourself that in a business.
If you're working hard you need to know that they are going to give you enough in return.
You want something long term Just like a marriage you don't just want it to be something that will last for a little while.
You want to be in it for the long haul.
So make sure that this is a business you can see yourself in for a long time.
Many businesses are fine and they may be fun and everything but they're not something you want to do for years to come.
That's not always the best thing to have in a business.
You want something that you can build that will provide you with years and years of solid dependable income.
So when you think about it finding a great home based business is really very similar to finding a spouse.
So go out there and find one that you are ready to be committed to!
