In today’s internet maze we must be able to set some criteria for a home based business opportunities in order to get out of the job enslavement moving forward after the worst financial collapse of our time.  The Job mentality will no longer work with most all functional jobs that create real products and services for profit are now being farmed out to 3^rd world countries.  The old school “trade time for dollars” is no longer a viable, long term model.  A job keeps you in the highest level of tax bracketing by simple virtue of your tax classification.  A legitimate and provable home based business will provide you the tax shelters and write offs you need to keep the income you earn.

So what are the top 5 most legitimate and turn-key models of a home business?  First, there must be a legitimate product backing the opportunity.  There are so many get rich quick schemes that it’s hard to disseminate what is real and what is fiction.   A product must be viable for all walks of life to benefit.  Second, there must be a proven income and compensation model.  This must be set in stone and easily replicated.  Thirdly, a home based business model must have coaching, follow up and people of integrity to help all learn the ways of successful entrepreneurship.  A key component that is lacking in most models is a “pre screening” or due diligence stage to make sure all applicants seem serious about doing whatever it takes to succeed.  This gives time for both parties to make sure they are right for each other’s opportunity.  Lastly, and probably most important, there must be a proven system so that anyone can “plug in” and replicate the success formula.  A franchise is a system of checks and balances that have stood the test of time in helping the mainstream achieve their goals and if this element is missed there is too much margin for human error.

Why do we say there are 5 key elements?  Simply put, the internet has created a hot bed of “home business wanna be’s” and we must be able to separate the good, bad and the ugly.  Log on to www.wakeupcents.com and learn the truth about what is real and what is fiction!   You will be firing your boss and taking back control of your most valuable resource, Time.
