I have to confess. When Herbert called me and said he had seen my ad and was interested in joining my work at home business I was reluctant to encourage him to sign up. Even though it was very inexpensive to join, when he told me he was 80 years old I felt I would be taking his money and he would struggle to do what needed to be done to promote the business. So I told him this might not be something he would want to do.

The next thing I knew he signed up. As soon as he did he called me again. Most people email me, but he’s from a different generation and I’ve learned that Herbert prefers talking. I could not believe all the contacts he said he had, and all the advertising ideas he started bouncing off of me for my opinion. Well I figured he had more time than most people, and he certainly came up with more creative advertising ideas than most people, so who was I to tell him this might not be for him.

I learned a valuable lesson from my friend Herbert (not his real name). Never prejudge anyone who wants to get involved in a work at home business. The more he’s talked to me the more I realize he’s checked out more work at business opportunities than I even knew existed. And for some reason he settled on mine. And he’s doing quite well with it. I wonder how many others he thought about joining only to be spurned when his sponsor found out his age. Go to www.simplegdi.ws/dvdmr if you want to know what work at home business Herbert joined. Oh, and there are no age restrictions except that you have to be at least 18.
