“When it comes to business opportunities, everything works…you just have to find what works for you.”
I’ve been thinking about that tweet for a few days now, debating whether to comment on it or not. I keep thinking that it must be out of context… perhaps it was part of an ongoing conversation that I haven’t been able to find. But I’ve looked and I can’t find the context.
The statement caught my attention and it bothers me because it’s just not true. Fact is….
- While there are countless numbers of legitimate business opportunities available, there are also countless numbers of schemes, scams, and illegal programs being promoted as business opportunities.
- There are many different, successful methods of marketing and building your business opportunity, but there are also many ineffective, unsuccessful methods being promoted.
- There are many excellent business opportunity leaders who can and will teach you how to succeed, but there are also self-proclaimed experts who are really only interested in building huge teams or collecting a few dollars from you.
Before you join any business opportunity be sure to do your research and ask lots of questions. Don’t be fooled by promises of instant riches – it takes time and effort to build a successful business. Trust your instincts and use your common sense.
Good opportunities are out there; take your time and find a great match. They don’t all work.

By the way… I purposely didn’t credit the person who originally tweeted that message because I still don’t know if it was in reference to something specific, and because it’s not my intention to “call out” the author. It’s just that it’s been on my mind for a few days and it’s what prompted this post.
