Just as the title says, “The best kinds of businesses are the ones that bring in the money.”

The next best kinds of businesses are the ones that bring in the money, AND help your other businesses bring in more money. Wouldn’t you agree?

You probably know exactly what I’m talking about. But then again, you might not, and that’s okay.

In my humble, yet experienced opinion, the force that makes the world of business go round is marketing. Promotion! And you’re sitting there thinking, “I know already Dave. You’ve already told us that in almost, let’s see, EVERY SINGLE BLOG POST ON YOUR BLOG!”

I know, I write a lot about marketing, because my intentions are different. I’m here to show you how to become a true internet marketer, not just a home based business owner who wants to promote their business online. Can you blame me?

So on with the main idea of this post.

It’s Monday, you just put gas in your car and need to pick up some groceries. In order to do this, you decide to put only ten bucks in the tank instead of just filling it up so that you’ll have enough left over to buy the groceries. When you return home from shopping, checking your bank account shows a balance of $25.

Pay day isn’t until Friday…..

Sounding familiar? Living paycheck to paycheck.

How about another one?

It’s been over a year since you’ve left town for anything other than work reasons. Your social life stinks because when you’re invited out for dinner and a movie by friends or family, you have to turn them down. You’re lucky if you eat out at a restaurant at all during a months time. However, as a nice gesture, instead of letting you off the hook, they offer to pay for your dinner. As if you didn’t already feel low enough, to avoid letting the cat out of the bag, you make up some other clever excuse as to why you can’t go out.

If you were one of the many who were affected by the shut down of Zeek Rewards, you’re probably wondering what the heck happened. And to be honest with you, I really have no idea what happened. However, I do know this…..I know that there are people in this world who consider it their personal responsibility, to destroy the network marketing industry.

If you’ve ever been to a network marketing complaint forum, you’ll find full time idiots on there who bounce around from one topic to the next, just trying to suck you into an argument.

It seems that these people have nothing else to do, and some of these guys make a good living out of it. What a world, right? If I see an opportunity to gain by suing you or shutting down your company, it’s all good!

If you’re someone who has ever been involved with network marketing, you’ve probably heard someone on a training call tell you about “income producing activities.” And along with that, they gave you the understanding that if you didn’t focus primarily on doing those activities, over everything else, then your business would fail miserably.

Absolutely true! As entrepreneurs, we want to keep ourselves busily engaged in activities that will grow our business. In doing so, it’s imperative that we’re conscious of which activities are actually helping our business progress instead of restricting it.

Now you might be saying, “What in the heck are you talking about Dave? That makes no sense at all!” I would tell you that you might be right, BUT, I can explain myself a bit here. So bear with me.

Just the other day I received an email from a former business colleague. Within the contents of the email was a subtle offer for an additional revenue stream along with a pleasant greeting from a friend. Now I typically receive several offers a week from people I’ve connected with in the past and will occasionally look into the opportunity out of respect for that person. This was one of those occasions.

I was then introduced to the 2ez2x2 home business opportunity. Now, I’m going to be completely transparent here. When I first read the name of this opportunity, “2ez2x2,” I thought to myself, “Oh great! Another winner.” The name of the business seemed…..corny! But, I went ahead and listened to the information and was impressed.

In my experience in the network marketing industry, the number one cause of failure in marketers is because they quit. Quitting is really the only way to fail in network marketing. But the most ridiculous part about it all, is that most marketers quit before they even start! It’s true.

Let me give you an example…

I recently had someone sign up for my home business. She was as excited as anyone could possibly be and expressed to me that this business was exactly what she was looking for. She explained how tired she was of her current situation and got started with me that same day. Now, in my business, once someone gets started, they have access to an entire back office full of training that will help jump start their business. Well, this woman completed everything. She even purchased some leads. I thought she was well on track to making some money.

But let me ask you a question…..does signing up and completing training or even purchasing some leads really mean that someone truly gets started?
