Researching the Best Home Base Business to Start. Learn to Avoid The Scams by These 6 Red Flags

There are literally millions of home base business out there today.  All of which claim to promise you the ability to quit your job in 30 days, become a millionaire overnight, own 15 houses or more, etc. The problem however is that 99.9% of what is said is never backed up with facts.  You'll more often see pictures of 20 year old kids driving $500,000 cars or the story of the 18 year old who retired.  Behind all the "bait" you never seem to find the actual math of what you would need to do to create that income.  Because 99% of business statistically will fail the average person, it's important to learn the red flags to avoid when researching which home base business is right for you:

RED FLAG #1
Company is less than 10 years old (not enough time to prove it will stand the test of time).  Don't fall for the "get in now" or "ground floor opportunity".  That's bait to get you to think you need to act soon or miss out.  Even if it was true, that would suggest that the business is only profitable for those who start now and later down the road you'll have to lie to people bc it will no longer be profitable.  You want a business that has a great opportunity today, 10 years from now and 50 years from now.  Make sure it's a stable company with over 10 years experience or you may find yourself starting and the company not being around in the near future.
RED FLAG #2
Company pays out less than 40% of it's earnings to distributors.   Most companies pay out as little as 10% and most won't even show you the financials.  You obviously are going into business to make money - not only in sales but in residual income.  Make sure the residual income is over 40%.  Still the highest I've found has been with market america / shop.com - more info at thestackgrp.com
RED FLAG #3
Company doesn't publish a annual report.  Transparency is a must in todays market - if they don't publish a annual audit for you to review - there is something negative they're trying to hide. Get the report or find another company.  
RED FLAG #4
The Company structure is Horizontal or Hybrid Binary (the average person can only build less than 2.8 legs successfully.  Any more than 2 legs and the average person will fail.  Also Hybrid Binary is a system that combines horizontal flaws with binary building.   You want to start a company that is Binary based which maximizes the profits in the entire group.  The structure should share profits from the newest owners to the oldest as well as from the oldest to the newest.  To this day the highest paying plan is shop.com
RED FLAG #5
One industry or one product line company.  Market conditions change all the time - if you are a one industry or one product company - you will experience challenges that could wipe out your business.  Also, not only are you limited on your customer base, but also on who you can bring on as a partner.  Find a company that is a product broker.  Brokerage companies can move with the markets and always be where it's profitable.  
RED FLAG #6
MLM's.  MLM's were created in the 1950's and have failed the majority of builders.  The idea was to pay people different percentages to a specific level to encourage expanding the business.  Problems in this system include:
- Top experienced leaders don't help the new people bc there is no payout on their level - ends up with new people teaching new people
- People build wide (horizontal) to get paid the highest % and spread themselves too thin
- Competition is created and begins to errode your business
- Break-a-ways.  If a partner does well, the MLM company could take that person and move them to pay you less.  This creates a structure where you don't want anyone to succeed bc then you'll be paid less on their success.

Want to Succeed in Building a Home Base Business? Learn the 8 Traits of Successful Entrepreneurs

With over 87 million people falling into jobless, hopeless or underpaid, it's no wonder why so many people are leaving the work force to become self employed.  One of the smartest steps in being financially free is to invest time into building a home base business.  There are millions to choose from so make sure you pick the right plan.  The highest payout I've seen is from market america shop.com - feel free to do your own research here.  Once you identify your system, you now need to get educated - mainly, Get Your Head Straight - because now it's up to you.  You need to become an entrepreneur:
def:  noun.  A person who organizes, manages, and assumes the risk of a business or enterprise.  Or my favorite:  Living a few years of your life like most people won't, so that you can spend the rest of your life like most people can't!

Here are 8 Traits shared by some of the world most successful entrepreneurs

1.  Assume Complete Control of your life
 Ever here people say:  I was late because...., I'm broke because...., I'm tired because..., I can't because.....  people love to offload responsibility and play the victim role rather than take full responsibility.  If you are going to be successful as an entrepreneur you need to take 100% responsibility for everything that happens, not just for good, but also for bad.  The second you blame someone or something else, you become a victim and no victim ever became successful.  Taking 100% responsibility will inherently enhance your ability to find solutions and create huge success.

2.  Have a "Can Do" Attitude
Replace negative thoughts with - I can do it, We can do it, Let's make it happen, and know that there's always a solution.  Except nothing short of CAN DO in all you do.

3.  Massive Levels of Action
Unsuccessful people plan plan plan but never take action.  Successful people assume their future achievements rely on investing in actions - massive levels of action.  If there is one thing that levels the playing field - it's how much action you are willing to take and continue to take that will set you apart and lock in your success.

4.  Goal Oriented
We do most people not have goals?  Because average actions doesn't require goals.  For those looking to become extraordinary, setting goals is a must.  You need targets!  Then you need to break you goals down into daily understandable tasks so your brain can accept and believe.  Once you believe, have a plan and a target set that you're excited about - you'll begin to see opportunities in all you do.

5.  Build Strong Networks
I could guess the type of person you are, how much you make and the likely hood of where you will be in the future based simply on your network.  Associate with success and invest time to create a team.  A team wins the championship, not the individual.  It's impossible to go big without the right team.

6.  Persist Until Successful
Expect Setbacks, unexpected events, bad things happening, resistance and more on your path to hit your goals.  I believe this is the natural selection in the business world.  Massive success is not a hand out, it's only rewarded to those who continue to push through till they are successful.  Persist with so much success that all goals will get accomplished and resistance turns into support.

7.  Continuously learn & Adapt
The average CEO makes over 319x the average worker and reads 4-5 books per month compared to the average worker who reads less than 1-2 books each year.  Protect and expand your brain - it's necessary on a daily bases otherwise the only info programming your brain will be conversations you surround yourself with. 

8.  Focus on NOW....RIGHT NOW
Stop Planning and start taking action.  Successful people understand the goal and take action.  All additional planning happens in the process.  You'll always be able to adjust as you grow - but you have to START!  Don't get stuck on details, just take action!
