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. To become wealthy, you really need to own your own business (93% of the already 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 and a market of $30 billion in the United States and $100 billion worldwide. By 2012, that figure is expected to reach $326 billion.
4. Network marketing has been called a “recession proof.
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 businesses don’t feel the impact of gas prices, parking fees and childcare expenses.
8. There are significant tax advantages to owning a home business.
9. Online businesses are generally easy to start. All you need are basic language skills and the ability to point, click and follow directions.
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 is great – you can make a lot of money.
Don’t be discouraged if you want to start a new business – hundreds of thousands of new businesses will launch in the next 12 months; yours could be one of them. Isn’t it time that you joined them? Aren’t you ready to leave the 9-5 rat race behind you?
Carpe Diem! Seize the day! Today is the day to start your own business .
