<p>That wasn&#8217;t the problem.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s where this gentleman went wrong&#8230;</p>
<p>The first thing that came out of his mouth on our initial handshake<br />
was, &#8220;Hello, my name is Frank. How would you like to own your<br />
own business? I&#8217;ve got this amazing opportunity with this amazing<br />
product and the company is in pre-launch. Get in now and you&#8217;ll be<br />
set for life!&#8221;</p>
<p>Ok.</p>
<p>Honestly&#8230;Do you think Frank has a good shot at establishing any<br />
type of relationship or any chance at sponsoring distributors<br />
using this opening line???</p>
<p>Of course not! Its ludicrous to think that this could ever work.</p>
<p>I felt like I just got puked on by Frank and his business opportunity.</p>
<p>Yup, Frank puked on me.</p>
<p>And I definitely don&#8217;t want to do business with Frank now because I don&#8217;t<br />
work with people who puke on me&#8230;and neither should you!</p>
<p>This is THE #1 WORST POSSIBLE THING you could do if you&#8217;re trying<br />
to build a network marketing business.</p>
<p>This repels your ONLY target market, network marketers, because<br />
they could care less about your business.</p>
<p>This approach doesn&#8217;t work in person so why would anyone in their<br />
right mind believe it could on a website?</p>
<p>Yet I see MILLIONS of networkers promoting websites that are doing<br />
EXACTLY what Frank has done here: Puking on people by promoting<br />
their business opportunity on the initial handshake.</p>
<p>Do you want to learn how the top earners attract endless new<br />
distributors to their businesses effortlessly and build monster<br />
downlines that pay them for years and years?</p>
<p>I will show you how to build your business the right way:</p>

<p>If you get this part right your business will EXPLODE overnight.</p>
<p>And I promise you won&#8217;t piss anybody off by puking on them <img src='http://cesarramirez.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

	<script type="text/javascript" src="http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script><p>Are you truly fit for Entrepreneurship? I stumbled across an article while surfing through <a href="http://Entrepreneur.com" class="autohyperlink" title="http://Entrepreneur.com" target="_blank">Entrepreneur.com</a>, so they deserve the credit for these questions. The title of the post was “How to Start a Retail Business.” Ask yourself in an honest assessment if you are truly fit for Entrepreneurship. These questions are related to starting a retail business, but the same still applies.</p>
<p>1. Are you good at multitasking? In your own business, you have to be willing and able to do everything yourself. When you work for someone else, you are usually responsible for just one thing and have limited control. You are supported by others with expertise or experience in different roles and functions. In retail, every day can be a stretch, as you encounter customers, employees, vendors and landlords. You can’t say, “That’s not my job.” It’s all yours.</p>
<p>2. What is your risk tolerance? In a startup retail business, you worry about being in the right place at the right time with the right goods and services for the right people at the right price. Do you adjust quickly to unplanned events or prefer more predictable, organized projects? Do you see risk as a threat or an opportunity?</p>
<p>3. Do you count on a paycheck? New business owners can rarely count on a regular paycheck. Startups frequently require more capital than planned. Something’s bound to go wrong or change even though everything is penciled out in your plan. If you break out in a cold sweat if you aren’t paid on the same day every month, you may want to rethink going out on your own. Most of the money you make will go right back into inventory and other costs of doing business.</p>
<p>4. Are you a self-starter and comfortable being alone? Or do you draw your energy from being around others and count on colleagues for support and advice? In your own business, you must lead, knowing what to do and when to do it, and be fully accountable for everything that happens. The buck stops with you. Sometimes that’s a lonely place.</p>
<p>5. Do you value predictability or prize diversity? Not only are there laws against discrimination in hiring and business practices, but America is a multicultural society. When you open your store or service company, you will be interacting with a wide spectrum of customers, vendors, advisors and employees. Retailers need to be people-oriented, flexible and good-natured. Can you manage conflict, see things from others’ point of view, and cater to their taste, not yours?</p>
<p>I can tell you, as an entrepreneur myself, these are right on the money. So if you are someone who is thinking about starting a business, whether a home based business or brick and mortar, make a very honest assessment of yourself and your abilities. Desire can only take you so far before you actually have to start thinking and acting like an an entrepreneur.</p>
