Read This Before You Join Another Business Opportunity!

8 replies
If you want to start a business or become an entrepreneur, DO NOT join those whack business opportunities , they are a hassle and a waste of your time and money, I've learned this from years of experience. (however there are a few legit ones).
SMH lol ... one of many mistakes I've made through-out the years was joining BS money-making programs and BS business opportunities. Now days, I'm a capitalist/business owner, NOT an affiliate. I rather OWN the company from scratch, have my name on titles of ownership (Registrations, mastheads, boards, trademarks, etc). full control. Not no nickel & dime hustle/struggle. lol

If you are interested in business start-ups, start you OWN from scratch, buy an EXISTING business, sell your OWN created products and services, franchises are ok, create your own MLM in stead of making the guy above you wealthier, build your own affiliates. You can go ahead and join that biz opportunity but if its not legally registered in your name, it's NOT yours, meaning you DON'T own it (they fool you into thinking that). Start your OWN biz and get it Inc, LLP, LLC, S corp, C corp, etc. Don't Say I Didn't Warn Ya ;-)

Including any biz opp you see on infomercials, lol , SMC is legit except their products are so generic and not in demand, quixtar, BBW, AmWay, Noni , MLM, ACN, internet millions, software millions, greatest vitamin, cash gifting, any business kit, ETC, ETC. Many of those MLM, and schemes are setup and structured very much the same. Many of them require you to spend pointless hours of your time to refer and recruit your family, friends, neighbors, ect to join the silly program only to get them to do the same exact thing so on and so forth.

Now let's be real, who wants to do all that only to be very disappointed later? Many of those so called business programs make you think your a business owner, but you are NOT. Its not a franchise either. They refer to you as an IBO (Independent Business Owner) but guess what .. your not. And many require you to retain a minimum amount of monthly volume points as what they call PV's, just to insure that the person above you is guaranteed their pay from the pyramid. You are just another salesman for them, they fooled you. (You just might barely earn $100)

In today's world many of you are materialist and only believe what you see, and are blinded from what is really behind to the whole thing / operation. If you are not business-minded enough to see how it is really operated and how it really works with the flow charts. Please Thank God that I am writing and sharing this with you now instead of much later after you have been suckered into these so-called business opportunities.

If you hear about any of those, you better start running the other way and get a REAL business started that you have FULL ownership. When your customers are paying the money goes directly to you and not awaits days or weeks for % commission checks lol, Get Registered with your state, get a REAL merchant account, (PayPal is ok for a limited time) to accept payments. Get your accounting, management, staff, marketing, stocks, financing , capital, etc right, open a creative store front or provide some sort of innovate services.


Relationships is the Key to Success.

(Self-motivation, enjoying life, appreciating life, automating your business as much as possible, wise decision making (chess)), management of the flow of business and time, visioning where you want to be or take your business in the future all the time, establishing good relationships with people in your network and expanding, establishing a mission, and most importantly is HELPING people as in your customers/clients.

The product above, its one of my latest developments, its a product I have copyrighted and own full ownership. I'm not selling it for someone else, so if I sold it I'd get full gross sale NOT a % of commission, minus the overhead involved (transaction processing fees, shipping if any, money owed to my affiliates for making the sale of any, advertising cost if any, the time and money it took to develop and brand).


I have learned this for myself and matured throughout the years.

To Your Success,
Juan Burton

  • Not necessarily. There are those who really crush it out there just by selling affiliate products and systems that they do not create themselves.

    Internet Marketing is a skill. As long as you have the skills to drive traffic and convert them into sales, it doesnt really matter if you're the creator or not.

    However, there are people who have viral sustainability by systemizing their processes and 'selling' them as products that teach people how to make money selling their stuff for them.

    In essence, these people just create systems out of the processes that they do and get other 'affiliates' to do the same while promoting the same system. That's how a lot of 'gurus' get a load of traffic without having to do their own marketing (by getting other people to do it).

    I signed up for a $5000 real estate seminar I saw on late night TV. I later went on to close more than 60 deals from the stuff I learned. Things are what you make 'em....
