In the past, I decided to join a MLM home-based business opportunity (cosmetics) because I believed that I could earn enough money to quit my day job. The MLM opportunity that I was involved in offered a great product and extensive training and support. I had custom designed business cards, brochures and even a website to promote my business.
So, why did I quit?
I quit because I wasn't earning any money. The market was over saturated with representatives selling the exact product. Every person that I tried to sell a product to already knew someone who was in the business. I had to work extra hard just to get a sale. I certainly didn't earn enough to quit my job.
I had no other choice than to quit the MLM business opportunity and head back to working a regular job. I was miserable because I really wanted the business to work out ...I really wanted to be an entrepreneur.
Family and friends assumed that I had no other choice than to go back to my dead-end job because I wasn't entrepreneurial material. That was beyond the truth. MLM may be an excellent opportunity for some people, but it didn't work out for me. So, what was I going to do with my life at that point?
I basically had three options:
I tried #3 and it has worked out great for me.
How I did it?
I found my niche. The market that I'm in is not over saturated with the service that I offer my clients and it is recession-proof. I don't have to recruit people and bother family and friends about my business opportunity. Best of all, I don't have to wait for a commission check in the mail.
A couple of months ago, I decided to write an e-book to help aspiring entrepreneurs to learn how to earn a good living working from home on their own terms. To find out more information about my new e-book, visit: http://www.e-junkie.com/76126/product/84026.php

I basically had three options:
- To work at my dead-end job for the rest of my life.
- Find another MLM opportunity.
- Create my own opportunity.
