                                                Recommended Businesses

                                                As I continue getting all of the educational components onto this site, I will post pages on each of my recommended business opportunities to show why I believe they are strong options for those who have an interest in the respective industries.

                                                In short, I am always looking for products in demand that strongly compete with retail pricing (no mark-ups for the "business opportunity") and whose compensation structures help people at every level of the company. I'm especially interested in those that offer profit-sharing components based on ALL company sales (both to members and to customers and through retail).

                                                Health: ChocoNat
                                                There are some outstanding health supplements out there, and I'm not recommending against any that measure up to the standards I've presented on this site. But I love chocolate, and I love "raw food," and I prefer organic, and I'm a big supporter of fair trade. That makes ChocoNat fun for me, and I hardly have to explain chocolate or "make" people want it. Most people already crave it. One of the best raw chocolate values anywhere, and far cheaper per month than other chocolate businesses. Simple compensation plan and quarterly profit sharing with EVERY member who chooses to stay on autoship.

                                                Wealth: American Gold Reserve / KB Vision
                                                I'm not a fan of any kind of numismatic investment, where you're investing in "collector" value rather than in the value of the metal itself. In an economic crisis, the value of the metal is all that matters. Both of these companies are FREE to join and offer better prices than many popular online retailers.

                                                American Gold Reserve has the simpler compensation plan, is based in the U.S., and sends you each order you place so you have the actual value in hand.

                                                KB Vision has a more complex compensation plan, is based in Europe, and only sends your gold when you buy in bulk or meet half of your long-term contract. (They keep half until your contract is fulfilled.) However, they do offer the best price on one-gram gold cards sealed with holograms to ensure the weight and purity of the gold. This makes it a possible means of exchange in the event of economic crisis.

                                                I'm throwing this one in here before it launches because there is no risk, and because I know some people are looking for an opportunity that costs them nothing. But I cannot say how well it will end up working.

                                                The idea is simple: get paid to receive text messages to your cell phone. And when you share with others, and they share with others, you're paid when they receive text messages. There is no cost to join or participate (unless you pay to receive text messages).

                                                They have a short video that presents that whole thing nicely, so you just share that and your job is done. Click here to learn more or join.
