Do you dream about operating a successful online business? Not every opportunity will be right for everyone. Before enrolling for an internet business proposition, it's useful to have some factors to measure the right opportunity for you. These are some elements to remember as you research.

1) Solid Foundation - Opportunities abound online, a large percentage of which are flash-in-the-pan, fly-by-night opportunities based totally on fake guarantees of instant riches. Research your opportunity. Ninety p.c of net businesses fail in the first year. A good guideline is that the company should be over 12 months old. If the company is a relative amateur at a year or thereabouts old, ensure the financial and experiential foundation is solid. Research the founders ; have they'd prior experience in a successful business? Do they seem to have acceptable venture capital?

2) Product Is the product something you can feel better about promoting? Would you need to use it yourself, regardless of whether you didn't work the business? A successful businessman is always a product of the product. Is there an existing market for the product? Where are the market trends heading? If possible, position yourself in front of a major market trend. In a nutshell, the two primary questions are, a) do you believe in the product? b) Is there a market for the product?

3) Return on your investment every legitimate small business opportunity needs and investment in either time or money or both. Fastidiously weigh cost vs value , how much you time and cost can you realistically expect before turning a nice profit? Is the compensatory schedule designed for the small enterprise? Are there successful folks in your opportunity? How long did they take before becoming successful?

4) Support and training Is there a success track for you to simply plug into and copy, or do you need to re-invent the wheel? Are there training videos, audios, eBooks, and software available to lead your success? Are you able to have face to face or telephone time with successful people in your business venture? Are there local meetings, online conferences, webinars, teleconferences, presentation videos and vocal recordings to plug prospects into?

5) Your Burning Desire - Does the business proposition awaken your dreams? Do you burn for success in this particular opportunity? Can you taste, smell, feel the symbol of victory at the top, whether that be a cruise or an automobile, most corporations offer a discernible inducement for motivation. It is not so much the object, but the symbol of success ; do you burn to have that symbol?

Find the online business venture that fulfills the above five elements for you, and you are already successful. You simply need to do the work to cause it to happen. I know you will , if you burn for it.
