Now I'm not saying it can't be done. Sometimes people are quick to catch the vision of MA such as if someone is a networker or MLM veteran and they see the UnFranchise system & marketing plan, they will love the infinite volume search, binary team building and downline BV placement, among other advantages that MA distributors have to build the business. Those kind of people with previous experience in Direct Sales, real estate, insurance, consulting & even corporate sales might pick up the concept and major fundamentals. Someone looking for something more, to create leverage or another stream of income, like the Millionaire Mindset & RichDad crowd might also get it.

Personally, I would never start someone knowing that they didn't tell their "other half" to me that's just setting someone up for a big fight at home & eventual failure creating a wake of destruction. Starting a home based business requires commitment & some honesty plus the support from the people around you which is crucial to getting a good start. Many times those close to you are your first customers and help with listening to your demos or can give referrals and even be potential business partners, but only if they agree with your product, service and methods of business building. No one likes being a member of the No-Friends-Left-Club, no MLM tactics please!

Now I know that MA has so much to offer today's budding entrepreneur & that using the MA University concept for matching a product with their skills or existing profession is a big key to their success. Clear goals for how to incorporate this new business system and the necessary meetings, trainings and tasks into their daily life must be outlined for someone new. Sure they can learn as they go but sponsors must pre-determine things like this to know how to direct and coach the individual because our goals are different. I may want to work from home doing internet marketing & beauty products but they may want to do business-to-business services like the third party websites and want to travel more. I might be fine with $5k a month while they want $20k as a goal so when a sponsor helps a new partner strategize & achieve, then they end up achieving by default so that its a Win-Win scenario. Isn't that better than empty promises or just telling them to "plug into the system" and leave them out to dry?

So why didn't I pressure my contact into checking out MA? You're wondering. My approach for an overview was next for when she got her Motives order. I also know she had just been laid off of two jobs & had financial counseling earlier this year & recently stopped doing YTB-Your Travel Business. Now is certainly not the time for her to start with us......or any kind of start-up! She said it me herself, she's unemployed and needs money now! Any business owner, whether traditional or internet or home based, will tell you that the big picture is about delayed gratification. You will make some sales to recoup the initial investment & earn commissions when you find your two partners but in business there are ongoing expenses, unexpected expenses and only if you are consistently consistant then your business will survive and eventually thrive. I would've put her on a Trial Run to start her off.

Okay, I've vented enough and am looking forward to move on and discover new potential; after the election and after today's tough astrology aspect of Uranus opposite Saturn, the tide will change and bring new things to shore, let's just hope that they are treasures to behold.
