What Does 21st Century Success Look Like? © 2003 Joy MorrisWhile we are well into the 21st century too many are stillthinking about their business as they did in the 1990's. The face of business has changed and the Internet is a BIGpart of that change. Today, anyone with a connection to theInternet and the ability to choose an opportunity wisely cansucceed online. Can you see the vision? The common thinking about doing business online says "if youhave a website people will flock to your site and make yourich". Right? Not exactly. The key to success online is to choose the RIGHT opportunityfor you. If you don't, you could be overlooking thousands ofunearned dollars. Not what you want, right?In an Internet crowded with opportunity, what does a world-class opportunity look like?Whether one offers products, services, or a mix of the two,all world-class 21st Century opportunities have these fivequalities in common. 1. World-class opportunities offer products that people WANTto buy. Notice, I did not say need. The fact is; people buy what they want. If you can make themwant your product, you will succeed. When you offer what people want, your customers will returnto buy from you repeatedly. That creates a foundation youcan build on. 2. World-class opportunities offer products that reach awide audience. To succeed in the end your products must havebroad appeal. Take the 'baby boomers' as an example. This group is large,in their peak earning years, and very willing to spend.Offer what they want and the world is your oyster. So, what do they want? Let's think that through. This group is aging and will continue to age. They know thatand don't like it. While the emphasis on youth and anti-aging was once radical, the boomers have now made itmainstream. We see commercials on television for cosmeticsurgery! Such a thing was unthinkable only 10 years ago. If you choose products that speak to the 'baby boomers' andtheir insatiable appetite for youth, you've picked a winner.Another example is people who work at home. The watchwordfor this group is convenience. Convenience sells and willcontinue to sell because this group wants to work on theirtime schedule and from their own home. They wantconvenience.3. World-class opportunities are easy to enter and maintain.All too often people enter a business and then can'tmaintain their active status. Since your goal is long-term success, be careful to choosean opportunity that makes it easy to keep on succeeding.Avoid those which draw you in and then fail to support youor make it almost impossible to continue long enough to havea chance to succeed. 4. The real 21st Century Internet business offers you upwardopportunity, but doesn't push. If your goals are to throwall of your energy into your Internet business, learneverything there is to know about the product or service youoffer and do more volume than anyone else on the world wideweb, they will support you in that endeavour. Hopefully, you will even have the chance to teach othersyour business and share in their earnings as well. If that is not your goal, however, a true world-classbusiness won't make you feel like an orphan or pressure youto do more than you want. 5. Support is the last quality of true 21st Century success.No one wants to be convinced to begin, commit their moneyand their time, and then find that they have no one to go tofor advice except themselves. Having someone to call on, whether by phone or email, whohas 'been there' and can offer guidance can mean thedifference between failure and success. There is an incredible amount of true opportunity on theInternet today. As you search for your perfect business, besure to hold your standards high and never compromise whenit comes to the quality of the companies with which youassociate yourself. After all, you are loaning them yourreputation, and it will be your reputation on the line. Finding these five qualities in an Internet opportunity isthe first step toward achieving 21st Century success!
