Business
Opportunities Advice
Confession of a Home-Based
Business Opportunity Junkie
By Virginia Sanders
They found me lying on the floor
dazed and almost unconscious; my
eyes fixed and dilated. My
breathing was labored. My credit
card clutched in my hand.
My daughter looked at me with
disgust and turned away from me.
yes, I had relapsed but the
excuse was this was the one.
I discovered this new thing,
called the two-up system, hey
the slick copy described a way I
could make $3,000/week.
The problem with the two-up
system was that the reality of
the program did not meet my
expectations or those of
thousands of other would-be
millionaires.
"Don't let them steal your
Dreams", the flash website
hypnotized me as the picture of
people with money exploded in
front of my eyes.
My eyes glazed over. I had that
feeling again, that gnawing
craving that takes over your
whole being. My palms were
sweaty as I reached for my
credit card again. I've got to
have it I thought; this is the
one that will make all my dreams
come true.
Another relapse into the
business opportunity induced
state of euphoria. One program
after the other, one high after
the other and then the
inevitable let down. I sought
counseling in the offices of
successful entrepreneurs. I
studied at the feet (actually
the ebooks) of those who "DID
IT" . Those individuals who
kicked and conquered that
insatiable desire to be free.
I stopped trying to create the
next Microsoft and decided to
create an income from the
successful efforts of other
entrepreneurs.
I quit the home business
opportunity merry-go-round cold
turkey. No more pie-in-the-sky
opportunities. No more
convoluted programs that
promised the ultimate high and
delivered a cold sinking red
stain in my checking account.
I discovered affiliate programs.
Those paint a Rembrandt by the
numbers programs that actually
produce income.
Finally, my ego took the back
seat to making money. I became
humble enough to learn from and
then imitate other people who
kicked the business opportunity
habit and found success on the
Internet.
Kicking a business opportunity
addiction is not easy. The
self-realization that you can't
do alone is depressing. We are
taught in school to be self
reliant. But to succeed in this
business, get self reliat after
the income start flowing. You
get the time and the money to do
your own thing.
To kick the biz op addiction,
you must have at least two
things to make this happen for
yourself: desire and a model to
follow.
Well, the desire is there and
then I found a model, the CB
Mall affiliate program and
others affiliate programs that
flourish all over the Internet.
If you can follow simple
directions, you can actually
duplicate success. I finally
kicked my habit. I am a firm
believer in the OSA (Opportunity
Seekers Anonymous) creed "Save
your money for those things that
will bring you a return in the
end."
