Many people who are interested in starting a home-based business assume that because the country is in a major recession right now, this is not the time; however, I ask you to consider the facts:
1. With most of the important decisions in life, e.g., getting married, having a child, starting a business, there is never the “right time,” there is only today, only now.
2. If you want to be wealthy, you need to own your own business – 93% of the wealthy do.
3. In 2006, Fortune magazine called direct selling, including network marketing, “the best kept secret in the business world” with a 91% growth over the previous 10 years. It has a market of $30 billion in the United States and $100 billion worldwide. By 2012, that figure is expected to reach $326 billion.
4. Financial experts call it a “recession proof” industry.
5. Warren Buffet called his purchase of a network marketing company the best investment he’d ever made.
6. Tom Peters, author of In Search of Excellence, called it the first truly revolutionary marketing shift in the past 50 years.
7. Internet marketing businesses aren’t as impacted by the usual commuter costs (gas and parking) and childcare expenses.
8. Owning a home business provides significant tax advantages.
9. They’re generally easy to start – if you have a basic language skills and can point, click and follow directions, you have what you need to become successful in the world of online businesses.
10. The Web puts you in control of your financial future – no more depending upon your boss to give you a raise or promotion! The upside potential is great.
Regardless of the recession, business continues – hundreds of thousands of businesses will launch within the next 12 months. Shouldn’t you be one of them? Aren’t you ready to leave the 9-5 rat race behind you?
Carpe Diem! Don’t let opportunity pass you by; seize the day! This is the time to start an online business .
