It has been about two years now since I was in your exact same position. I had the dream of starting a highly successful Home Based Business. Now for me I had my good reasons for wanting to create a positive change in my life. I had spent the previous eighteen years on my full time job barely scratching out a decent living for my family.

My job was operating subway trains in San Francisco. I usually averaged a sixty five hour work week, sometimes even more. My typical day started with the alarm going off at 3:45 am. I would usually get home around 6:00 in the evening. The job itself was grueling and often very stressful. It seemed that no matter how many hours I put in, there was never enough money to make it to the end of the month. Now don;t get me wrong here. I felt blessed that I had a steady secure job and I was able to support my family. But the mere thought of going on with this way of life for another fifteen years really put a scare in me.

So I went on the Internet searching for a good legitimate Home Based Business opportunity. Speaking from my own personal experience, I know the main problem people face is knowing the scams from the really legitimate businesses. And I know it can be overwhelming. But trust me there really are good legitimate online Home Business opportunities where you can actually earn a lucrative full time income working from home. So the key is to know what to look for when evaluating a business opportunity. Below is a list of what you should look for in a legitimate Home Based Business.

#1 Does the business opportunity sound too good to be true? Well chances are it probably is too good to be true. If they are telling you that you will make $10,000 by the end of the week, well common sense will tell you to leave that one alone.

#2 Look for an opportunity that offers complete up to date training and professional coaching. That would mean training and coaching from the top earners and leaders in the industry. What better way to become successful than to learn and copy the people who have already achieved the success that you desire.

#3 Does the business program offer a lucrative compensation package?

#4 Finally just use that sharp brain of yours. Take time and do your research when searching online. Like I said, there are good legitimate Home Business opportunities out there. You just have to spot the good from the scams. Nothing beats research.
