What has worked for me, may not necessarily be the business for you.
That's one of the biggest mistakes people make when they look for a business. They think that just because Uncle Rick is doing great selling life insurance, they too can go into the business and be successful just like Uncle Rick.
After some time, it turns out that you are complete failure at selling insurance. Why? Because you only looked at the money and not the actual skills that it involves. You see Uncle Rick has always been good at selling face to face. And he loves what he does. You on the other hand, hate face to face sales and you hate convincing people to buy something from you. So in the end... Woops... Turns out that you didn't make any money at it so you quit and then look for someone else who is successful and then you start the cicle all over again.
Before you know it, your guarage is full of vitamins, you have been scammed a few times and the bank account is still near "over draft".
What are you doing wrong??
Why cant you find "The Perfect Business" that can be profitable for you??
The answer is actually very simple. It's because in order to be successful at a business, you have to first figure out what YOU love to do, and not what other people love to do.
THE BEST WAY TO PRODUCE A LIFESTYLE YOU ENJOY IS BY DOING WHAT YOU LOVE!
Take off the blinders...Take off the limitations. What do you love doing? What are your hobbies? What is it that you think about every time you get a spare moment?
That is the BUSINESS for you to be in...Don't tell me it can't be done because it CAN!!!
I have an aunt that hated her house cleaning job. So she started baking cakes part time, which was what she had always loved to do. And believe me, her cakes are incredible!!
This was 7 years ago. Today, working out of her home, she has 3 ovens in her basement and from thrusday to sunday she is baking cakes all day long for people all over town and her only method of advertisement is word of mouth.
She even has an assistant now.
She does at least $800 a week and over $1000 in a good week.
Needless to say she quite her house cleaning job a long time ago!
What do you think would happen if I tried to go into the same business just because my aunt is successful at it?
Easy... I have no baking skills, I hate cooking and I would be a complete failure at it.
Let me repeat it for you...
THE BEST WAY TO PRODUCE A LIFESTYLE YOU ENJOY IS BY DOING WHAT YOU LOVE!
Good luck!!!
