My Experience With A Home Based Business

When I got laid off back in mid 2007, I did not want to go back to a traditional JOB.  I wanted to do something different.  I had been working for about 30 years straight.  I needed a change.  So, I started looking for home business.  I came across millions of them.  There are so many scams out there that it is very hard to choose wisely.

I started with Herbalife in 2008.  At first it seemed like I had found a great opportunity.  As the time was passing and I was getting more involved, I realized that it was not for me.  But, I decided to give it a try for at least a year. 

Well, 9 months later I had to slow down.  I had already charged so much into my credit cards and had received nothing in return.  It was time to almost call it quits.  The problem with this system is that eventhough they tell you it is not MLM somehow it is.  I had a very good size downline, but no one was working the business like I was working it.  My team never invited anyone else to join. So of course, it did not help me or them grow.

The products are great, but the business opportunity is not very realiable unless you have income to keep injecting into it.  If you are doing it on the side and do not rely on it to pay your bills then I believe it could be something that will grow in time.
