Once you have the answers to these questions

Once you have the answers to these questions, you are ready to confront the mounds of advertisements for work

at home opportunities. The next step is to see how well your needs and wants fit into the businesses available

to you.

Before agreeing to any type of business, it's helpful to find someone who is already doing the business and ask

them the following questions:

- How hours do you work each week?

- What does your average daily business routine consist of? (This will help you determine if you'd enjoy doing

what they're doing.)

- What costs are involved in starting and operating the business?

- What is the product or service you sell?

- How much money can I REALISTICALLY expect to make working the number of hours you'll put in?

Now that you've done a little self-introspection, your next step is to research available home business

opportunities and write down the top 3 best opportunities that appeal to you most. Then take your time to think

it over thoroughly.

Starting a new business should never be a spontaneous decision - especially if there is a large financial

investment. Take some time - at least a couple weeks! - and sincerely think about and compare each opportunity

until you feel confident with the one you've chosen.

Finally, I do have a couple of words of warning for you when searching for that "golden" opportunity.

If it sounds too good to be true, it most likely is. Whether it's a business online or a traditional offline

business, all businesses require a lot of work. Anything that claims to be easy, or that reportedly doesn't

require work should be quickly skipped over.

You should NEVER...and I mean NEVER pay someone just to receive information about a business opportunity.

If an advertisement seems extremely vague, it's most definitely intentional. A good number of "too good to be

true" offers don't give you all the details up front because they know if they do, no one would be interested.

Most importantly, be well informed. Do not give ANYONE your hard-earned money until you have the answers to

your questions and are fully confident that you're making a wise financial decision. Running your own home

business can be very rewarding if you're willing to put in the necessary research to find what kind of home

business fits your and your needs bests.
