Mix It Up With Marc

Earlier I was discussing business online, and after the tremendous response to my last post, I thought it was high time to continue with this subject.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN AN MLM

As you scout around online, another possibility to consider is new start up companies. Keep in mind that, It is a fact statically that almost all new MLM’s fail in their first year of business. If you feel real good about the business then go for it. But just remember that you will be going through the growing pains of a new business. There will be problems with payroll, shipping etc. But if you have the patience to weather these problems then your payoff could be considerable being on the ground floor.

So what are you waiting for find the MLM business that works for you and get started. One thing to keep in mind is that an MLM is a real business. They take time to build and you must work them like a real business if you want to gain any real success. So find one and get started and live life abundantly. Take your time and don’t let anyone pressure you. Do your homework and get started. Work it hard and life can be good. Just remember anything worth having is never easily obtained. It takes work and dedication. But it is so much better being your own boss than making someone else rich. Just remember is won’t happen all by itself you’ve got to work it!

There are many excellent MLM’s out there to choose from and a lot of not so good ones as well. The question is how do you choose which are the right one for you. The way to do this is research. My wife who is an accountant showed me how to do this. One of her responsibilities is protecting her client. Here’s some advice:

First you want to ask lots of questions. Then go to your computer and do background checks. Go to the city where the company is based and check them out with the better business bureau. Then check out the owner of the company. If he or she has had six businesses in the past ten years this is not a good thing. You should always check out the product. An easy way to do this is to just Google reviews on the product. You will always have negative information about everything out there. But if you dig deep into the information you should get a pretty good idea what people think. You should also ask the person trying to recruit you if they can show you proof of all that big money they are making.  Check stubs tell no lies. If you can show thousands of dollars of check stubs you will have that person’s attention. If they are new to the business they won’t have a lot of stubs, in fact they may hoping to sign you up to get their first one.

If you remember from my last post, I was just about to describe the sunset… Here’s where we pick it up again…

Not far from there was the ruins of an ancient roman glass factory called Apallonia by the sea. During the roman occupation there had been a civil uprising. The glass factory was overthrown and the huge vats of molten glass were poured over the cliffs into the ocean below. To this day the beach is covered with green and blue round globs of glass that has rolled in the surf for two thousand years. It’s a beautiful stretch of beach with all the color. I brought home some of this glass and my father had a piece of it set in a gold ring for my mother.

My friend Olav and I went there quite often to dig for relics. After the battle was over they buried the dead under piles of rocks. So Olav and I would look for mounds of rocks and dig there. Once we found the remains of someone who was killed in that battle. There was a hole in the back of the skull and when I washed the dirt out with a hose I found a piece of flint that was the tip of a spear head. We also found a ring on one of his fingers. Most of the bones were pretty much crumbling away. But to this day I still have the skull who I named George.

There was also an old empty Mosque that was very big and fun to explore. Off the side of the cliffs were a lot of caves that we would climb down and explore hoping to find something but we never did. But we spent many days in the sun swimming and exploring. It was a lot of fun. Memories that I shall never forget, I loved hunting for relics. The country is rich in history. A person would often find some ancient relic just digging in their garden. One day I plan to go back to Israel. To see those sites again, the house where we lived. Where I went to school and the places I use to go down at the beach. I know after more than thirty years a lot has changed. As an adult I know I will appreciate the antiquity much more. There was so much I didn’t understand as a teenager.

But one day I know I will return.
