People search business will have to act in the methodical and systematic basis, unemotionally and rationally. They need to set out its requirements, a list of purchases, what they want, what they need, and in depth look at what the business under control has to offer.
You require two Excel spreadsheets or Word table for the tabulation of results
1. In the first table you should join your field (ie variables that need to consider). Place fields on the vertical plain. Horizontal must write their answers;
2. In the second table, you should have a vertical same areas. On the horizontal you would have all the companies you are considering. Each unit can be used to truncated text and numeric scores on a scale of 1-10, where 1 " " is poor or inadequate, and " 10 " is excellent "
Give a lot of spreadsheets room, as it should be a long document, if you plan to do the task properly.

Money or for further " hidden " Buy-in/up-sell about the main Setting up your office, your purchase / modernization of equipment, consultant fees or When breaking even could happen? You are unlikely to make money in the beginning. Can you bear the expenses for this time?
f. TIME. Or How many hours it would take you to create business? Or how many hours you can safely conduct business on the day on a permanent basis? Or How many hours does the company say you have to spend? Are they compatible? Or you need to participate in conferences away from home? Who will pay? List of your other personal, professional and social commitments, and make sure you have time for this new obligations properly.
g. COMPANY. You may very well be your personal act together, but you looked very closely at the company.

Too often, people entering a new business in the euphoria, heightened emotional state of mind. Regardless of pressure to join, give yourself enough time to consider the pros and cons .& 39;s Better not to join than to be pressure to join us wrong. I do not listen to all the nonsense about your not having any courage or unable to take the risk. This sales exaggeration that you must treat contempt it deserves.
