Imagine experiencing financial freedom in your very own business…

What would that really feel like for you? What would you buy? Where would you take your family? Those are probably the very reasons WHY you’re looking into a business.

Perhaps you ran across the 360 Solutions franchise and now you’re interested in what this business can or can’t offer you.

See this video below if you’re unfamiliar with 360 Solutions Franchise opportunity…

And in reality not all businesses are created equal; even the 360 Solutions franchise may or may not be the right business or franchise for you.

Let me explain…

Have you noticed yet that there are all kinds of businesses you can start? There are franchise opportunities, online home based businesses, network marketing businesses, eBay businesses and on and on….

You may be a bit confused as to what to start, or maybe you just want to know a little bit more about the 360 Solutions franchise to see if it’s a right fit for you.

In a moment, I’ll tell you what you need to know…

The 360 Solutions Franchise – Good, Bad, and Ugly

Here’s the Good….

They give you a custom built website and marketing materials that are custom to you. This is a plus.

They also private label everything in your company name. And the biggest plus of a 360 Solutions franchise is that there are NO royalties (which is kind odd – I’ll explain later)…

The Bad and the Ugly…

Although from all appearances, 360 Solutions is a franchise, they go to great lengths to claim that they’re not. From their website they say that they form partnerships. Although they’re not charging royalties from those that choose to “partner” with them, you do have to wonder how this company is able to survive on just selling “partnerships” or franchises.

My guess (and probably yours too) is that they make the bulk of their money by selling the 360 Solutions franchise itself – which can range from $15k to $30k.

Some of the biggest complaints I see online from people who partnered with them is that the company “nickel and dime” their partners to keep buying product after product. This could explain the varying costs to get started with the 360 Solutions Franchise ($15k to $30k).

The other complaints I see a lot of from partners is that the 360 Solutions line of products are outdated. Now, I don’t know how valid these complaints are, but I do know that this is an Internet age and people want to learn via the Internet, especially if you’re trying to market business solutions and training to other businesses.

I’m not sure if 360 Solutions products are completely tailored to todays businesses. If not, you may have a hard time finding customers if you choose to buy a 360 franchise.

Should You Buy a 360 Solutions Franchise?

The whole gist of the 360 Solutions franchise is to market business consulting and employee training to other businesses.

The questions you have to ask yourself, are:

How effective are the products you’ll be marketing? and…

How responsive are businesses to the products?

Some of the biggest reasons people get themselves in trouble with franchises, is that they underestimate the true costs of running a franchise – even if they don’t pay royalties to the franchisor. The day to day costs could literally bankrupt you if you’re not financially able to stay in the game long enough to see a profit.

The second thing that gets a lot of franchisees in dire straits is not recognizing the market they’ll be marketing to.

Is there a demand for the services/products you’ll be marketing? How big is that demand? What will your costs be to reach out to that market? Are you able to afford to keep advertising to this market in light of your profit margins?

I can’t tell you to join 360 Solutions, but I can tell you that you better do your homework thoroughly first BEFORE you spend $30k on this or any other franchise.

By now if you’re feeling a little disheartened that maybe the 360 Solutions Franchise may not be for you, know that you do have other options….

360 Solutions Franchise Alternatives

Having had businesses online and offline, I can tell you the best way to get into business is if you already have a marketable skill or product. Keep in mind that there MUST be a demand for whatever it is you’re selling.

Not everyone has a skill, a hobby, or products lined up that can make them money, which is why you want to go to the second option – especially if you want to make money quicker…

Sell someone else’s products or services. This is called affiliate marketing. The great thing is that you don’t have to pay those nagging royalty fees and the cash turnaround is much faster than with a franchise.

This is why people who do affiliate marketing with the right company/products are able to make six and seven figure incomes a lot faster than with a traditional brick and mortar business or a franchise like a 360 Solutions franchise.

If you don’t find the 360 Solutions franchise too appealing and you’re serious about having your own successful business WITHOUT the high costs of a franchise, then take the time to look at doing affiliate marketing (see recommended online digital marketing training) or joining a good network marketing company.

You can make money slow with a franchise or you can make money faster with a top-producing affiliate program or network marketing opportunity.

The choice is yours.

0 What’s BLOCKING Your Wealth?

If you’re struggling at all in your business, you’ve got to see what some of those issues could possibly be. In this short article, I’m going to narrow down a few culprits that could be standing in your way of success.

No traffic to your website…

No profits…

Increasing business expenses…

What a predicament to be in yet many entrepreneurs find themselves in such a situation.

Why?

It’s like the domino effect…

One thing breaks down and it leads to the next thing and so on and on. Pretty soon you’ve got a mess and you have to retrace your steps just to figure out how all of it got started.

Here’s the funny thing…

If you can’t figure out what caused the break-down in the first place it could very well end your business – and all your future business ventures.

You see history tends to repeat itself when you don’t learn from it. And how can you learn from it if you don’t know what the initial cause is?

Well, you can’t.

For this very reason so many well-deserving hard-working entrepreneurs pack up their bags and head for the hills because they couldn’t get their business going the way they wanted it to go… i.e. making money at it.

Some of Reasons That Could Be Blocking Your Wealth

As someone who’s been in the home business industry for a length of time, I can tell you some of the reasons people struggle in their business. They include:

a. Not a good business

b. Not set up to receive income

c. Negative environment (i.e. well-meaning family and friends)

Let’s delve just a little bit into each one…shall we?

How to Pick a Good Business

First of all you want a business that has products and services you believe in.

And…

One that has products and services that actual REAL people want to buy (in the case of network marketing). In other words, there has to be a demand for your products.

To maximize your profits, your marketing funnel should have at least one residual income producing service and at least one high-ticket product or service.

Setting Up Your Business For Success

The next thing you want to work on is spending a majority of your time building your list. If you’re just an affiliate marketer who’s in several niches, then it’s understandable that you don’t want to build a list in all those different niches…but you could if you intend to stay long-term in a niche.

In the case of network marketing you want to take some time to develop your list-building skills. Now if you don’t know how to set up a marketing funnel that converts then you need to partner up with a company that has one already set up. Then all you have to do is drive traffic to it.

This is one of the biggest reason I leverage this system here. It works and works quite well.

I can tell you one thing, there’s no greater struggle then to keep sending traffic to a website that doesn’t convert – that’s a waste of good traffic!

Who’s in Your World?

The last thing that can block wealth is the thing that is most often underrated..and that’s your environment.

Are you around negative, pessimistic people all the time?

Do you have people around you (and yes that includes family) that are constantly telling you that “Those things never work?”

How in the world can you expect to build a successful business when you’re surrounded by doubters and negative people – people who most likely have zero experience running a business?

Well you can’t. You’re going to get frustrated with all the negativity and most likely quit without giving yourself a fair shot.

Think about Donald Trump – like him or hate him, do you think he surrounds himself around negative people and doubters? Of course not. He has some of the sharpest smartest minds around him…and you should do the same.

You’ve come this far, why quit now?

So , if you’re struggling in your business take a look at what you’re promoting and make sure it converts into sales. Check out your environment. If it’s not conducive to your business building then you’ve got to make changes.

The great thing is that all of this is under your control. The question remains – how bad do you want success?
