 Small Business Ideas
If you have your own small business idea check it out, research it as much as you can. Ask people you respect
and who know something about small business. Do not ask someone who has always had a job for an opinion on a
business because even though he or she may look and sound smart, he or she doesn't have a clue about what a real
business is. Beware of the dream stealers. These are people will say "it can't be done" or "you can't do that".
Every successful business owner has met these people and ignored them.
If you don't have a burning hot small business idea, you can brainstorm with your family and friends. Even
little tykes can have great small business ideas because they are not burdened by popular thinking. Some apparently
"off the wall " ideas can actually be excellent small business ideas with a little bit of refining. Small business
ideas often come from noticing problems. One person's problem is another person's opportunity.
As you go through the process of thinking about a small business idea, you may come across some negative
thoughts that come form your own brain. Sometimes, these negative thoughts can look like pure rational thought. You
may begin to think about all kinds of reasons why this is not going to work for you. If this happens to you, I want
you to watch this short movie presentation-it's called the Dream Movie

Small Business Ideas I Promote:
The following small business ideas are not in any particular order and they are not mutually exclusive. This
means one program can help build another but you will make money from both. You will find over time that it is
better to focus on one program but that doesn't mean you ignore other programs that work for you too.
One of the key steps to starting a small business is the market potential. Can I make money doing this?
What's true for me may not be true for you. In the past, I have not been very good at making these decisions
because I was not mass market focused. I always seemed to specialize in niche markets which can be good but if the
market is too small, it's hard to make real money.
All these businesses below are already set up like a mini franchises. You plug in with a solid effort and you
may achieve success. Compared to setting up and running a conventional business, there is nothing to owning and
operating any of them. The key is that ALL the businesses below give you
leverage which is the main benefit of owning any
business. Leverage is something you don't have on a job.
Small Businesses for You to Evaluate
I have been a customer and user in all three of the following businesses. I can personally vouch for
their credibility. All have excellent customer relations departments. I have absolutely no negatives issues with
anyone of them over the several years I have been dealing with them. That's really important and can only be fully
appreciated when you have the opposite experience. In addition, all of them provide lots of training and help with
building your business.
1. Health and Wellness Business: Immunotec and the flagship product Immunocal. Immunotec is the leader in the immune system sector of health and wellness . If you
are tired of unsubstantiated health claims and benefits, this could be for you. There are only a handful of
products but they are all excellent products. I have been a long time customer and personally endorse the entire
product line and the excellent service you get from Immunotec. For more details, you can visit my Health and
Wellness webpages for more business information and glutathione-gsh webpages for product info. My business
name for my Immunotec business is "Wellness Plus For You."
I use the following Affiliate businesses to help me build my Immunotec business.
2. Send Out Cards. For some people this could be a real time saver and business promoter. I
use it to build a relationships with people who join any one of my online business ventures. Imagine being able
to pick real greeting cards, write a note in them, sign them with your own signature, stamp them and mail them
from your own home computer at a very competitive price? You can. You can even use your own photo for the front
of the card and load your picture and business card on the inside panel. Great for any business person with lots
of personal clients like real estate agents, insurance people, car salesmen, mortgage brokers, lawyers,
dentists, chiropractors, optometrists, naturopaths, medical doctors and others. I have been a customer for years
and can tell you the system works like a charm.
The following two affiliate programs are only if you want to have a serious web presence and you want to
generate your own leads online.. Both these programs are highly web educational in nature and will require a lot of
your time to absorb and learn. (This obviusly depends on what knowledge you start with).I have been a member of
Veretekk, on and off for years. I just joined Prospex. Both will help you with lead generation and website
promotion. Both have affiliate programs where you can make some extra money if people join under you. This is good
but the real value is in the education your receive.
3. Veretekk I use this marketing program extensively.
4. Global Domains International. Every business needs a website these days. People expect it. If
you don't have one you just don't look so good. Lots of companies offer replicated websites: these are good only
for the company--they don't do you much good. People want to know about you and you can't get that on most
replicated websites. Also replicated websites are not indexed by Google so you will never get found. To do that
you need your own domain and website. It may sound complicated but it's not. GDI makes it really easy to
register a domain name, create a website and provide you with dedicated email addresses. All for only $10 per
month and you can make money at it to. Click here
5. Prepaid Cell Phones: This is a new start up company which just launched March 15/2010. I
am really excited about it's potential right now. It looks good. For one, it has about 15,000 distrubutors
already signed up over the past couple of months and the official launch is set for October 2010.
The downside is you could lose a couple of $100 over the next few months
if it doesn't gel but the upside is too good to pass up.
The key is the forced matrix compensation plan which could literally revolutionize network
marketing all by itself. Why? Because most people can make real money, unlike most present plans
which favour the few. Now, add in wireless phone service and digital voip phone service--what do you
get? Massive growth. The telecom industry is one of the few industries enjoying robust growth in the
USA--Now you can benefit directly. Is your cell phone making you money? Is your home phone making
you money? You can change that and change your financial life too.
It promises to be an innovative company. For example, cell phone customers (not distributors)will have their own
free customer replicated websites where they can earn credits when personal referrals also sign up. These credits
can be used as discount coupons so customers could get their service free. The distributor would get paid for any
new customers this customer actually signs up. It's a great way for new people to get introduced to the business .
It also shows that this company values customers which should be the main focus of any business but often missing
in mlm types of busineses.
More details to come.
