My Journey Before Arriving at the Ultimate Marketers Guide

Life before the Ultimate Marketers Guide, where I was before
that and
what experiences did I have that I could share with
you? Well lets just
try to keep it focused on the online, IM,
MLM parts of my life, I will
keep it short as it is really
something that most people that I know, have experienced
.


What's that? Failure, and it's presented in so many different
ways.
Well, my work from home first experience was one
that I would rather
forget, I signed up, paid money, received
executive pack,lots of
glossy bits and pieces to throw
around. A whole bunch of product to use
and no training.
Just make a list of all the people you know etc etc
etc. How
many times have you heard that, it has probably happened
to
you.


So, that did not work very well, no training and heard from
my sponsor
once after joining!


Now, don't get me wrong, I am not blaming outside
influences for the
failure, but they were a contributing
factor. Anyway let's move from
the blame to the history,
if you want to call it that!


We, my wife Karen and I, moved to another and another
and finally a
fourth. We failed at all of them for various
reasons. The main one,
when we think back on it all, was
that everything was portrayed as an
easy way to make
money from home. So what happens then? When we find

something is harder than we think it is going to be, we
quit!


That is what we did.


Now, here we are back again, some years later. Why?
Well we need to
make some more money than we have. I
am getting closer to my retirement
and need more. Simple
as that! Guess what, not a lot has changed over
the years.
There are thousands and thousands of promises out there,
how
to in 30days, I made $273,000 in 6 weeks etc. There
are many who still
fall for the QUICK BUCK but it is my
guess that unless you win the
lottery, the quick dollar is
a myth! You know that too!! Or if you
don't know it, you
at least suspect it. Right?


So, here I am, some years older and some say quite a bit
wiser. That does not necessarily follow does it? Just
because I am older does not mean I am wiser.
On with it!


Get the bulldozer out and try to move all of the rubbish out
of the
way. Do the best job as you are able in doing your
own due diligence.
See if you can find out who is running
the organisation. Are they
accessible? Do they exist? There
are tons of areas to explore. Be level
headed and DO NOT
be attracted by HYPE.

Hard I know, but do it!


Another
thing you can do is to check on testimonials, if
there is information
other than the person making the
testimonial, such as addresses etc,
try to trace them down.
Did they really give the testimonial, stuff
like that. I have
been approached for that kind of information. People
will
not mind.


See if you can chat with current members, get their point of
view, most
likely their response will be positive. You will be
able to read
through the lines and assess their comments.
Having done as much due
diligence as you can, maybe you
decide to join an opportunity, take any
advantage you can
on any offers the company may offer, such as join
free and
upgrade later. Any offer that gives you more time to
complete
your evaluation should be taken before your final
decision is made.


Having made your choice. COMMIT!!
