Sound Advice

I am here today to offer you sound advice on what I have learned. I have written about this in various ways on my other blogs, but I am hoping that here and now you will listen and take it to heart.

I have spent the last few days writing and researching articles. I am happy to tell you that on top of being a published poet, I was taken on as a writer on an internet site. It may not always be the most creative writing, but it pays. So I get to build a reputation in the writing world and make money. Which I love, I am doing what I love and I make a living at it. Not many people out there can honestly say that. And that is why I am writing this.

Most people would love to have their own business, the idea of being their own boss, work when they want, flexibility and so. So they get on the internet and scour for hours trying to find the perfect business out there that they are going to be millionaires at. I will be the first to tell you that there are hundreds, if not hundred of thousands of businesses that you can operate from your home. There are businesses out there that you can acquire that won’t even cost you much money up front, there is one that I know of that you can actually attain for free and then how much of a monetary investment you make is up to you.

So my word of caution to you is this, don’t pay for something if you don’t have to and are not in a position to do so. There are “gurus” upon “gurus” out there that want you to believe that you will not be a success without what they have to offer. You don’t need them really, and you definitely don’t need them before you know what it is that you want to do. Understand this before jumping into an online business, or any business, KNOW what you want to do. Be realistic about how much time, money and effort you are going to put into this business. Remember it is NOT a job, it is a business.

There is not a successful business out there that did not have a framework to build from, with the person creating it no knowing what they wanted to achieve and how they were going to do it. Outside of winning the lottery, there isn’t anything out there that is going to make you a millionaire over night.

If you are going to buy a product online from a guru, make sure that there is a money back guarantee and that you will be able to get your money back if it doesn’t work out. I have seen people write programs off as scam just because once they got they realized it required them to work at it. That doesn’t make a program a scam, it means that it is legit. But also know that all the information you need is out there, and you can get it for free. It will only cost you your time. It is always better to do the research yourself, so you know what you are looking at and what you are looking for, make an informed decision.

Take this from someone that started out as a hostess, worked data entry, became a nurse, ran a successful home based real estate business and now is what she should’ve been from the beginning, a writer. Check out my other blogs for more information on businesses and scams. The links are on this page…. But here they are just incase you don’t want to look for them. J
