Money Rant

By Ollie Donovan

 The ads are so tempting, and just think — what if you could make hundreds of dollars a day working from home? Unfortunately, people are losing money every day to work at home scams. Don’t become a victim. Here are some ways to make sure you don’t become scammed!

You know you’re just about to get scammed by a work-at-home ad when…

The very first line states you can make hundreds of dollars a week working from home.

There is no experience needed.

You can work just a few hours a week and still make a bundle of money.

There is lots of CAPITALIZATION AND !!!!!! used in the ad.

You read an extremely vague ad. You haven’t a clue what the business is about; but boy, could you be making the bucks.

You’re asked to call a 900# for more information.

For a fee, a company will send you a list of businesses that are looking for home workers.

You are forced to make a decision immediately and are made to feel stupid if you say no to their offer.

How to Check A Company Out

Whether you have those funny feelings about the claims of a company or not, do some background research on them.

Hire a lawyer. This may seem like a waste of money, but in the long run it could really save you some financial heartache.

Call the Better Business Bureau (in the state the company resides in) to see if there have been any complaints against the company.

Ask the company if you can talk to any of their happy customers. Please be aware that companies can and will give you false customers to talk to. If these people sound way too happy, I would be a little leery.

Questions You Should Ask If You Are Thinking About Buying A Business Opportunity

Find out from your sponsor, in writing, what is involved with this business; such as: Are you able to return merchandise if it doesn’t sell? Is there a money back guarantee? How long have they been in business for? (if it’s under a year, I would again be very leery). What is your total cost of this business opportunity, including fees, supplies, and equipment? Will you be paid on salary or commission and how often and who will pay you? Ask the program sponsor to write down every step of the business.

What To Do If You Become The Victim Of A Scam

First you need to write the company that you feel has ripped you off telling them you would like your money back. If they don’t agree with you, then you need to let them know you plan to notify officials. The following people should be notified:

If you read about this work-at-home scheme in a magazine, let the editor know you’ve been ripped off by these people and you’re not happy about it.

The Attorney General’s Office in your state or in the state where the company is located.

National Fraud Information Center. Call them if you feel you are a victim of a “get-rich-quick” or an “easy money” scheme. Check out their web site for daily alerts or new scams. 1-800-876-7060

Your local Consumer Protection Offices.

Your local Better Business Bureau (BBB) and the BBB in the state of the scammer.

Postmaster. Notify if you received the information through the mail.

The Federal Trade Commission. While the FTC cannot resolve individual disputes, the agency can take action if there is evidence of a pattern of deceptive or unfair practices. To register a complaint, write to: Correspondence Branch, Federal Trade Commission, Washington, DC 20580.

The Importance of Passion

By Jake Saab

 In whatever career you may find yourself in, there is no such thing as “information overload.” Know as much as you can, do what others do, and what the entire company does. Equip yourself with a total knowledge of your work environment, enough to make you feel like you own the network. Who knows, you may someday.

Walking an extra mile, being organized at work, honesty, trust-worthiness, dependability, being a team player, loyalty, and resourcefulness are the must-be characteristics of your passion.

Are you the type of worker who is always looking forward to Monday morning? Or you are the type of worker who’s pleading and hoping that it will always be Friday the other day? There are workers who are called TGIF workers? What is TGIF? TGIF stands for Thank God It’s Friday. TGIF workers can’t wait for their minimum of 8 hours a day to finish. If you classify yourself as a TGIF worker, then you are certainly lacking something or missing something important in your career life - passion.

What does it take to be passionate in your job? There is always that old maxim “Do what you love the most.” A passionate worker always has the appetite to go to work every day. He or she doesn’t mind if it’s Monday or Friday. He or she treats everyday as an important day in his or her career life. What do you think is the result of being a passionate in your career life? When you are passionate in your job, you enjoy it and even seek for more. There is always the idea in your mind that you can always do better than that. You are not satisfied to mediocre work. And it pays to be a passionate worker not because you will be accelerated into higher position nor you will be given extra compensation, but because you can get things done in your work with a sense of appreciation.

In your work as an entrepreneur at home, you got to have extra passion. Why do you need it? You might be asking. Take this for an instance; can you able to sit a little longer whenever a meeting comes? Can you stay a little longer if you’re transacting some business matters to a customer that asks too many questions? In short, can you be patient enough but maintaining the passion in you? You can be energetic enough in your work but it demands greater than that. Still, you need passion in your work.

So, what separates a passionate worker to a worker that only minds work?

People who practice passion in their work always perform their work at their best. They always strive for perfection in everything. They see perfection as unattainable in most things. But their eagerness drive them much nearer to it than those whose laziness and despondency make them give it up as an imperfection. Passionate workers put extra care in their work and they aren’t satisfy for anything less.

At this point you might be asking either one or more of the following questions:

1. Do I need passion even though my work is just a home business?

2. To whom will I use passion?

3. What will passion do for me? What is its impact in my performance?

4. How may I know my passion?

The last question on the list is very interesting. In one way or the other, passion creates a difference in terms of performance between a passionate worker and the other. What do you like the most? What are your interests? What type of job do you enjoy the most? The answers to these questions vary depending on the personality of a worker. But whatever will it be, if you can answer the questions then that will be your checklist on how you may know your passion. Each worker has different passion. One’s passion is not the same with the other. Your job as a home business representative takes a little talking to different people. If you found that your passion is more on communication, then you are really entitled for the home business. If you like to deal with different people and enjoy front liner’s job, you are really fitted for the home business.
