With so many business opportunities out there you really need to “create a standard” of what you want in your ideal business. This will help you to find the best Network Marketing company for you.

A standard is something you want included that you will not budge on. For example my standards include:

• proven management team
• unique product
• debt free
• family owned [no shareholders]
• min 5 years operation
• low breakeven threshold

My full list of standards has 29 points. It took me 2years to find a company that met each standard. The rest as they say is history.

Before you start setting your standards it is important to choose your market segement. Here are a couple of tips you should consider to help you decide which home based business is right for you?

Instead of choosing the first home based business opportunity that comes along, take some time to do your due diligence. Read books containing ideas for possible home-based or small business, trade magazine articles on trends and market demands.

Does The Product Have Potential For Long Term Growth?

Many Network Marketer join a company because they “like” the product. Unfortunately this is done in most cases without giving any real thought or regard to whether the product has any long-term growth potential. For example you may like golf ball typewriters? But right now golf ball typewriters have little long-term growth.

I’m betting you would go broke in a very short time if your chosen product was a golf ball typewriter!! A better option is to choose a product that is positioned in front of a huge market and ride the wave. Such a market is the Baby Boomer. Their are 1 billion of them. What do they want? What are they looking for? What are the problems that they would like solving? Positioning yourself in front of this market could give you an 18 year potential for long term growth.

You don’t want to spend time and money building a business as I have done in the past only to have the company go out of business and leave you with egg all over your face.

Is It A Business You Can Get Passionate About?

Ask any successful entrepreneur what has them leaping out of bed in the morning and you will find high on the list will be - they are absolutely passionate about what they are doing. You can only feel passionate about something you love.

Is It Profitable And Personally Satisfying?

This question is where the rubber hits the road. While you maybe passionate about your product and business will it return you a profit. Is there a high demand for it? Is it a unique product or service that can’t be obtained easier or cheaper some where else? Will it bring you recurring income? Is the market already saturated with it? What are the barriers to getting started?
