Learn from my mistakes - Getting to know your business
One thing I have noticed in my short time of being a home
business owner, is how many opportunities there are out there.
To safeguard against getting involved in a scam and to ensure
your success it is very important to get to know what and whom
you are getting involved with. Most people will jump in with
both feet and work really hard and then get disappointed when
the money doesn't come pouring in.
I learned that I was able to do business much better when I got
to know the company I joined and more about the products they
produced too. It helped to know who the president was and where
he came from and why he started this business.
Definitely you should read the company's financial statements
which have pictures and a president's message etc. Read the
press releases and see what charitable organizations they
support. Where are their corporate offices? How many people are
employed there?
Then get to know the president. If possible send an email to the
president. If it is a reputable company, he/she will likely
email you back a welcome letter with some encouraging words.
