Are you looking for a legitimate home based business opportunity? If so, you’re among an ever growing populous of people globally who are online every day in search of the right company to get involved with.I personally spent 35+ years in the corporate rat race before I decided I just couldn’t take it anyone. That’s when I started looking for a legitimate home based business so I could spend more time with my family and friends.As much as I’m ashamed to admit it, I spend an incredible sum of money and time investing in programs, products and systems that produced little, if any, return. For a while, I beat myself up pretty badly. Given my proven track record in business, not only the corporate world, but also in another start-up business, I knew better than to jump at these opportunities to make tens of thousands of dollars a month by working only 4-5 hours a week.Fortunately for me, and now you, somewhere along the way, I remembered a quote from George Bernard Shaw, “A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.”"So,” I thought, “I have certainly learned some things about finding a legitimate home based business opportunity that I can use myself, and hopefully help others, as well.” I want to pass along to you two very important things I believe you should pay attention to:1. Find a business that you will enjoy. The more you can have fun with the work you’re doing every day, the more apt you are to jump out of bed every morning and enthusiastically get started. Frankly, nothing succeeds like hard work, whether that is in an offline or an online business. The more you enjoy it, the longer you’ll stay with it.2. Set realistic goals for yourself. I emphasize “realistic” only because of the outrageous claims of overnight success being promoted on the Internet. Actually, I believe you should set “BIG” goals, but I want you to understand that it’s not going to happen right away. In fact, “delayed gratification” is a key component to success in any endeavor.Don’t fall for all the ludicrous advertising and promotions that we are all exposed to every day – particularly when you’re looking for a legitimate home based business opportunity. Find something that you’d love doing on a daily basis, and set BIG, but realistic goals for yourself.
