Do you want to start a home business on the Internet? Then I want to ask you a very important and relevant question.What would you do if you were offered one million dollars to fight the heavyweight champ for one round of boxing? You would have to stay on your feet for the whole round to earn the money. How long would you last? Maybe 10 or 20 seconds? Most people would be flat on their back in less than 30 seconds. Remember, running away is not allowed. You have to stay and fight.My point is, many people find themselves beat up in the network marketing industry. They are down for count and don’t try getting up on their feet again. This same scenario applies to your home based business. You have to get up and try it again. Persistence and tenacity are what you need.The key to staying on your feet in this business is the right training and support. There are companies out there that provide both. However, you still need to do some research of your own. Search the Internet for free training and as much information as you can about home based business and network marketing.The key to long term success is not about giving up because you failed initially, it’s all about knowing what to do and then doing it over and over until you get it right.
