What to Do If You Get Lost Trying to Find a Profitable Home Business


What if you get lost trying to find a Profitable Home Business....

Easy to do with thousands of opportunities out there all promising you gold and glamour galore.

Having a profitable home business in this economy is the right decision, but it's a tough process to start for both beginners and veterans. You want to minimize your costs and time and maximize your profits with proper support. But where to turn...who to trust...what to expect? Making no decision can be even worse because then you're mired in self-denial with an ineffective way to cope wih limited incomes and future securities.

I love analogies as a simple way to explain convoluted subjects...Here is a great example to relate to excerpted from Marlon Sanders.

Imagine You're In A Forest Trying To Find Your Way Home

Re: How To Find Your Focus

Focus. Do you have it?

Or are you jumping from project to project and idea to idea
searching for something that will stick or get traction?

Imagine you're in a forest trying to find your way home.
You start to walk down one path.
Then you see a flower on another path and you start to walk
down it. Then you see a pretty plant on another way out.

And you head towards it.
Night time is coming.
You keep walking down this path and that, following something
on each path that appeals to you.
Before you know it, dusk arrives. And you're where you started.
You make an entry in your journal:

"I don't think there's a way out. Nothing I do works."

As you're writing in your journal, a piece of paper flutters to
the ground. You pick it up.

"Oh yeah, I forgot about that."

It's a map.

See, in the forest there are markers down the paths to help hikers
find their way home.

Do You Need A Simple Map To Show You The Way?

Did you know that there are only TWO THINGS you need to
focus on this year to get out of the woods?
It's a very simple map.

So here you spent all day chasing down this path. Going after this cool looking plant,

exploring this bunch of flowers down another path.
And all of that was well and good.
But you forgot your goal.
It wasn't to snatch up pretty flowers. It wasn't to find nice greenery or bushes.

Your goal was to get out of the woods. And you were only two markers away.

I tell this story because there's a lot of truth in it. See,
you may have found yourself running hard to check out everything
in home business opportunities.

You've ran down this path. You've explored another.

You've gone for the prettiest or most promising flowers, bushes and trees.

You've headed down the path where the loudest noise was.

You let a flock of seagulls tell you which path to go down on the theory that the more seagulls

tell you to go that way, the more it HAS to be true.

But the seagulls aren't trying to get out of the woods. All they're doing is making noise.

So there you sit.

Maybe if you run FASTER and HARDER down a path, THAT will get you out!

Maybe if you ask ALL the animals there how to get out of the woods and get a CONSENSUS, maybe THAT will get you out of the woods.

Maybe if you go down the path with the most promising GREEN stuff on it.

None of that compares to a MAP from someone who has been there,
knows the way out and created simple markers to get you out.

Are you STUCK in the woods? Trying to find your way home?

What are you focusing on?

Who are you listening to?

The flock of seagulls? The path the most green stuff on it?

The loudest animals attracting their prey?

How about if you ran into someone else who is also lost in the woods and has

never been out. But they'll tell you which path will get you out of there?
Would you listen to them?

So there's a map.

It has just a few simple markers on it. And at the top of the map it says:

"How to find your "ideal home business" by someone who has been there and
done that. Over and over again."

How much would that map be worth to you?

Well, that depends on how badly you want to get out of the woods.
If it's getting dark and there are animals there and you REALLY
want to get out of the woods to safety, would that map be worth
a lot more to you?
'Cause if you don't get out of the woods, it ain't pretty.

How about $500? Would you pay 500 bucks for that map?

How about $100? How about $50?

Would you say, "I ain't paying $100 for that map. I'll just
spend the night with the animals even though I'm really hungry,
need food and I have nothing to drink?"

What if you could pick up your cell phone, call and have someone give you
instructions on following the markers to get out of the woods?

Would that help?

How much would THAT phone call be worth to you?

Think about it. Just think about it.

How are you gonna get out of the woods?

Which path are you following? Why?


Imagine you're trying to decide on a home business that meets your needs?

PS: I know my way out of the forest...the jungle of home-based business opportunities.
I use a simple 3-Steps-2-Rich Home Business Plan to multiply my profits over and over again.
I have hitched my success map to the "best home-based business concept for the 21st century" as voted by Lifetime Network.
Who do you know who wants a way out to make some extra money?
Who do you know who wants to be healthy?
Your questions and comments are always welcome.
