Recent studies predict that over 79 million people will enter into the booming Home Based Business Industry over the next five years, and considering the state of the economy and world affairs, there is no indication that this will not hold true.The so called Job Security attraction formerly associated with a career in the Corporate World has evaporated at an alarming rate as we have seen some of our countrys largest and most respected job providers resort to massive layoffs and downsizing measures to survive the economic conditions of todays business arena.
People are tiring of the long hours, increased workloads, and reduced benefits and expected company loyalty only to be considered expendable and let go by upper Management when things get tough. And somehow, even though it was the poor decision making of these upper management folks that led to the problems, they seem to always keep their jobs and big paychecks while the employees on the front line are cut loose.
We have always heard, you cannot get wealthy working for someone else, and it seems that has never been truer than in todays world. With regards to monetary wealth, consider, in the corporate structure your income is determined by a boss up the corporate ladder, a committee or budget of which you had no input, or a set annual percentage increase; not on your direct contribution to the company profits or success. But wealth is not just about money. What about your time?
In the Corporate World consider these truths:
-- You need permission to take time off for a special family event
-- You have to get permission to take a vacation
-- The amount of vacation you are allowed is set by someone else
-- Your work hours are pre determined by someone else
-- You waste precious time commuting
-- You spend more time at work than with your family
It is obvious why a Home Based Business can be so appealing when considering all of the restrictions placed on our time and earnings by the normal J.O.B. Quality of life can be so enhanced when working around your life versus living around your
work.
There are some great opportunities in a Home Based Business, however, one must be cautious and prudent in evaluating any of them. The obvious to avoid are the rich quick schemes; you know, the guy sitting by the pool in swim trunks and shades, a laptop in hand and claiming that you can become a millionaire with little or no effort; I hope we are all smarter than that. A successful business will take effort, dedication and an investment of both time and money.
Some basic keys to look for in a legitimate Home Based Business Opportunity are:
-Legitimate products that you can believe in, will purchase, and have a money back guarantee.
-Have a professional training/mentoring program; you want to be in business for yourself, not by yourself and left to figure everything out.
-A proven, easy to duplicate marketing and support system that you can plug into and be up and running within a week.
- A marketing platform that will not require cold calling or harassing family and friends.
-Affordable start up costs and the ability to generate income immediately.
-A company producing your product that is not hiding offshore, that has a good BBB rating, and is transparent regarding how they make their money.
-Make sure you will be involved in a direct sales environment, not a MLM Choose a company that will not require you to purchase and stock inventory and then have to go out and try to sell; they are just grabbing their money up front.
And finally, trust your instinct; If it does not feel right for you, do not do it. People can create wealth, control their own time and steer the course of their destiny while working for themselves in a Home Based Business; just remember to do the proper due diligence. After 20+ years in corporate management I took control, earn what I am worth, set my schedule, and live life the way I want. It is really a choice a choice to change.
