Is a Ground Floor Opportunity really the Best time to join?
GROUND FLOOR OPPORTUNITY!!!!! JOIN TODAY BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE!
How many times have we seen an ad like that on the web! Stating some new exciting product that is going to change the Network Marketing World or a friend calls you excited because he has just found a company in pre launch and is hounding you about how you will never get another chance to join on the ground floor. While I agree that timing is everything in Network Marketing, it is not the only thing that will lead to success.
Does it really matter when you Join?
It is amazing how many people join a ground floor opportunity with the wrong expectations. Most people who join a company within its first year believe that they have just stumbled onto their lottery ticket. Only to quit months later because their lottery ticket required a little something called “work.” It does not matter what year your company is in, because you still have to put in the time, energy, and money to build your business.
What does a new company really represent?
In my opinion all a new company represents is an opportunity to be a part of a community that will grow around you. When I started my Network Marketing adventure I join a new company called Jus International and they where just celebrating their one year anniversary. At the time the significant of joining such a young company meant nothing to me, all I knew was I like the product and I was in the process of looking for something different in my life. I will admit the one thing I love about being involved in a young company is everyone really cares about your business success. I love the fact that in my company when we sometimes have an opportunity meeting, our Chairman or someone else from the corporate team is involved. I remember once being invited to another companies opportunity meeting and they where excited because their highest earner was in the city, was going to be there. I had to laugh to myself because we had our Chairman at ours.
It’s like any other business you start! You need to work it
If you decide to join a company that is in pre-launch or in its first few year, you need to look at a few things like:
How stable is the company?
Does it have the right management team in place?
How does the product or service stack compared to the competition?
Do you really want to be part of this culture?
You need to ask yourself can I represent this product wholeheartedly?
If every one of your answers comes back good and you still want to proceed then all I have to say is now its time to work. It is amazing how many people join a Network Marketing company with the intent to “try” it out. One of the most memorial things my mentor told me was “Network Marketing works, so there no need to “try” just “work your business”.
Final Thoughts
Honestly it does not matter when you start, the only thing that matters is you make the most of the opportunity you go after. It is a shame to waste opportunities, but for every opportunity you miss, another will eventually come along, as long as you continue to keep your eyes open to them.
