Avoiding the fake Golden Eggs.
Many would be entrepreneurs are so desperate to get into business that they often fall into a common trap...Business Sales.
Being your own boss or running your own company can be a wonderful and rewarding experience, but so many business start up ideas have nothing to do with you being entrepreneurial...they simply want you to sell!
If you are an excellent sales person this may suit you, but if your aim is to run your own company and control your destiny you are going to be disappointed.
Very few successful Business Opportunities are ever handed out on a plate and if they are, you need to consider if what you are receiving fulfills what you wanted. The majority of "Business Opportunities" are from people that have come up with a failed project idea and as a last resort have decided to sell the idea to other people wanting to get into business and promise the returns they themselves had deluded themselves into, by assuming others can sell something they could not.
Most of these "Business Opportunities" should be sold as "Marketing Opportunities" to those that can sell Ice to Eskimos...but they have learnt, true sales people will be selling something else with far more ease and so they have opted for the soft target.
My advise if you are starting out in business, selling one of these ideas, is hand over no money until you have taken a week out of your life and seen exactly how much you can earn from selling the product to people you never knew before that week...if you don't make a living...dismiss that Golden egg!
