The next time someone trys to tell you a brick and mortar business or a traditional internet business is safer and more productive than a home based network marketing business, have them read this.
"What's Real"
Do you want to see what real businesses sell for?
________________________________________
These are businesses for sale recently on bizbuysell
A couple things I want you to pay close attention to:
1. Look at the cash flow. Let's pick number 3 for example: That means that for you to make an extra $7,000.00 this year you are going to have to spend $50,000.00
2. I want you to also look at these, and I want you to notice the years established! These are established businesses that people like you and I got in as early as 1988 and have put in all the blood, sweat and equity to get them going and still make only $35,000.00 a year!
I had to find this out the hard way, so please stop searching for what doesn't exist. I would also recommend you stop trying to get something for nothing, it's not going to happen.. Why, because real businesses cost real money!
By the way, why do you think these people are selling?
"Can you say burnt out!!"

All of the above examples involve significant overhead and risk and none has paid off yet. There are many fine network marketing opportunities that can show thousands in earnings weekly in the first year. That's why famous investors like Donal Trump say that if they had to start over again, they'd invest their time, effort and money in network marketing.

Thanks for this great outline of how and what to expect when selling a business. I really liked the three examples that you gave. I learn a lot more when I see examples instead of someone just telling me how it works. I learned that I am like this when my dad was teaching me about waterless cookware--he told me about it--but I didn't get it until he gave me examples and showed me how to use it. Thanks for the examples!
