SMC is a time tested, legitimate home based business opportunity that has been helping people to start and run their own business selling SMC products for over 60 years.  Recently, there have been a number of claims on the internet that there is an SMC scam going on, but in actuality nothing could be further from the truth.  SMC has spent a considerable amount of time attempting to resolve every complaint lodged against them by people who, for whatever reasons, were not ready to own and operate their own business.  The idea that there is some sort of SMC scam going on is disproved not only by the thousands of successful business partners SMC has all across the United States, but also by the positive rating SMC has been given by the Better Business Bureau.

A home based business is not for everyone.  It takes extreme dedication and a large time commitment. You must have the willingness to become dedicated business owner.  Ask anyone who owns a successful small business and you will find out that, though they may be living the good life now with vacations, nice vehicles, and a great home, it wasn’t always that way.  There is a story of hard work and long hours that every business owner can share with you.  They will all tell you that it takes hard work, and most will also tell you that it is worth every minute of the hard work you put into it.

There is real drive in those that succeed.  They have numerous and varied reasons for their desire for success.  Some want the freedom that exists with having your own business, while some simply don’t like working for others.  Whatever the reason, every small business owner has one thing in common – they have all been willing to work hard.

This is a difficult concept for some people to grasp.  They may have the idea that they can start a business, invest in some products and catalogues, then sit back and wait for results.  Perhaps they plan to put in an hour or two per day and hope it will work.  People who approached the SMC business model with that attitude are many of those who started the SMC scam rumors in the first place.  SMC is not giveaway, and it is not a get rich quick scheme.  It is a legitimate business that needs attention, dedication and hard work.  The more attention you give it, the more successful you are likely to be.

The founder of Specialty Merchandise Corporation, Abe Levine, considered hiring a sales staff when he first started the business, and then changed his mind.  He realized that he could give people an opportunity that they may not otherwise have had – he could allow people to sell his merchandise by opening their own businesses.  They would own their own business, and be responsible for their success.  Sixty years later, literally thousands of small business owners have found that success with SMC.  Far from there being an SMC scam, SMC has provided individuals who might otherwise have spent their lives working for other people the legitimate and profitable opportunity to own and operate their own business.
