How to Avoid being Scammed - Hold Onto Your Wallet!

Starting a business can be a dream come true, or a nightmare gone horribly wrong.

In the past two decades, one common factor has been at the root of determining if a business will be a blessing or a curse...

That factor, is the all mighty dollar. Without question, money is the reason people start a business, and money is the reason it will succeed or fail.

But, the AMOUNT of money needed is actually much less than most people think.

My philosophy is you can spend "stupid" money on a great idea, and get nothing. You can also spend "wise" money and get a great result.

How will you determine which one? It is simple, YOU have to hold onto YOUR wallet!

Without exception, the whaa whaa stories I see about "scams" or "get rich quick schemes" or other nonsense, has at it's very root, a person who at some point may have "not left home without it" regarding money, but surely left their reason and wisdom at home!!!

Home businesses are by definition very inexpensive to begin. That is the appeal. But for some odd reason, people think spending more money will make them more successful! What a JOKE!!! Spending more money only makes YOU more BROKE!

How can you avoid this issue...of being "taken"? I suggest, you leave your money at home! When you go to a business opportunity meeting or the like, do NOT take any money. Leave it in the car or at home. That way you will not be able to buy into the hype they are dealing you.

Also, know this...it is a fact...EVERY home business that is legitimate requires a NOMINAL start up fee. This is generally referred to as a registration fee or joining fee.

The company I just left had a joining fee of only about $60 (varied due to shipping), but many were "sold" the plan that they had to "invest" upwards to $6000 just to get started!!!! ABSURD!

So when you are shopping around for a good home business to begin, make sure to get down to the minimum to get started. Once you have that number, YOU decide how much you want to invest to get set up (i.e. literature, inventory, advertising, etc.)

For example, the company I represent now has a customer registration fee of only $25. If someone wants to join as a business member, the fee ranges from $1 to a maximum of $29 (depending on the promotion that month).

So how can you avoid being scammed when growing a green business? Simply leave your "green" at home, and use some time thinking before you spend!

Pioneer in Environmental Wellness

We hear a lot about the environment these days. Growing concerns about sustainability, waste, the ecosystem, and on it goes. At our company, we are not only concerned with the environment, but we've been actively doing something about it for decades. Nice to see that the rest to the world is finally coming around.

We offer exceptional products at reasonable prices. From our nature-inspired formulas and our environmentally responsible business practices, we feel good about offering safer and more effective products to the world. For example, our cleaning products do not use chlorine bleach, and out disinfectants do not use ammonia.

We led the industry in establishing sound environmental practices, and then stuck to our guns. Phosphates are found in most every automatic dish detergent on the market, except ours. While the "big boys" are still selling water and phosphates with little actual cleaning elements, we are 100% phosphate free.

The vast majority of our products are highly concentrated.  Therefore it cost less to ship and there is much less plastic used which means less waster!

In our manufacturing process, we reuse bins until they wear out. Then we send them off to be recycled into fiber-optic cable! Our distribution centers use skylights to reduce power usage. Our shipping boxes are made of 30% post-consumer material and they are certified by the Sustainable Forestry Initiative!

I could go on, but it would really make those "big boy companies" out there feel really bad. So if you are interested in knowing more, be sure to scroll down and register for an appointment time to speak with one of our team members.

Until next time, this is WesleyGW wishing you the best of my best!
