What is Up With Ground Floor

Read More: Leadership | Mindset | Personal Development | Positive ThinkingIt just amazes me to no end how many different Opps.
there are in the market place today. Some have a high
monthly what I call buy in and some low buy in. Some
even have a buy in every week.
Why would I want to spend all of this money every week
or month that I normally would not spend. I believe that
if you find a product or service that you are already
using or need and can get paid for doing that you have
done something truly great.
I know a lot of people that look at the next best thing
as the way to go but are you going to bet on a race horse
just because he is new to the game. I bet you would want to
see some history on how he runs. Well this business is
basically the same there are new companies everyday all
claiming to be the best. Well anybody can make claims where
is the proof. I look at facts and figures and how long a
company has been in business.
You see a ground floor opp may be great for a while but
what happens if the company is not what they claimed it
was and you worked with all your heart and then it was gone.
That is what I don't understand about this business. There
are a lot of people willing to take the chance on maybe
getting rich before the company falls apart.
I believe work with a proven company you will be happier
in the long run.

Good call
Like anything in business, a ground floor opportunity is a high risk investment. For anyone looking at these types of opportunities remember to do your due dilligence and find out exactly what the opportunity is, what kind of market is already there, if there is a gap in the market for the products they offer. Also remember that 9 out of 10 businesses fail in the first two years and 80% of those fail in the first year. So to minimize your risk look at a company that has gone past the two year mark with flying colours.
You mean businesses fail?
How true, I've bin in buis. for over 20 yrs. I've seen um come and go. I've seen the good and the slow times.
I think the hipe of a new opp. gets into someones head and they might sway from what logic tells them. Researching a new Co. in network marketing is easy if you use the 5 pillars.

I have to admit...
Until recently I thought it was a good idea to get in on an opportunity when it was just starting out. From my perspective, I thought I had a better chance at success because I'd be able to get more signups since the market wasn't already flooded.
Of course, at that time I also bought into the whole multiple streams of income idea. So it didn't matter if you had one company go bust, you still had several others you were building.
Thankfully my wonderful mentors have set me straight on these falacies because it's saved me lots of money and has set me on track to making more money than I could ever dream of making.
Thanks for the Post
If you feel comfortable with an old company and you have that feeling of future security so be it. Your doing good , making some half decent money stick it out. I would like to relate an experience I had last year.
I joined up with a new company during the pre-launch stage. Within a month of starting I had 5600 people in my downline, the cheques were alright but it was standard binary and I quickly found out about cycles , strong leg- weak leg. I am still with the company but feel there is more promise with another new company that I am now with that will pay me on both my legs. I'm going to double my money, on the time and effort I put forth this makes more sense to me. Whatever it takes to make your downline the most money, is where it's at in my estimation.You are so right with the due diligence part make sure you check the company out closely before jumping in.....
