WHY BE THE LONE RANGER? |

What separates the good businesses from the bad ones on the Web? Knowing THIS can make you or break you so it's worth the time to take a look.
Anyone with a dial-up account and an idea can be in business today. But is that a good thing? Many think that the only pathway to success is to think up a TOTALLY NEW idea and then maybe success will follow.
While this can happen, it's often MUCH better to align yourself with someone who has learned from experience what works and what doesn't. A HUGE advantage in doing this is that the company has paved the way for you to succeed. Gambling with your future is pretty scary stuff. So, what do you look for in a partner?
A SOLID COMPANY
Be sure to find a company that has been around for a while. Have they been successful? Have they had complaints lodged against them? Are they up front about what they do or are they hiding behind pages of hype? These questions, plus the questions YOU come up with, are the right place to start.
Don't be afraid to ask, this is YOUR future.
ARE THEY FINANCIALLY SOUND?
The sound of desperation is unmistakable. To want you to participate is one thing, to act like the world is ending if you don't is a very bad sign. Ask all the questions you need to. This is business, there are no stupid questions.
DO THEY HAVE STRONG MANAGEMENT?
Even if the company is a financial powerhouse and have been around for hundreds of years, your investigation isn't over. ASK QUESTIONS about who is running the show and ESPECIALLY about their experience in THIS particular business.
Apple learned the hard way about hiring top people that didn't have a clue about the computer industry. Make sure the top people in YOUR potential business KNOW what they are doing.
DO THEY SELL WHAT PEOPLE WANT AT A GOOD PRICE?
If they sell what people want, they don't have to be the low price leader to succeed. People don't buy on price alone or no one would EVER drive a $50,000 car; they'd ride a bike instead. ALSO, if they have the cheapest price in town on pet rocks you won't go very far there either. Make sure you find the right product at the right time at the right price.
Remember, THIS IS YOUR FUTURE. Don't settle for less than the best. The questions above are an excellent starting point but no matter how many questions YOU use, don't make a move until you are satisfied that it's the RIGHT move for YOU.
