Jay, you are exactally right, no business will succeed if you don't put in effort. There are no get rich quick businesses or free businesses that will give you an ongoing residual income. One thing that I missed in there is there should be a great training system. You want to be trained before you start your business. Also you need to people to work together so that everyone is successful. My wife and I are lucky and found a business with all the qualities you listed and the ones I added. People better start realizing we have moved into the information age!
