If you lost your job tomorrow and you couldn’t find work for two months, six months, or even a year, would you have enough money to survive?

Remember when you used to work hard for an employer, saved as much money as possible, and retired with security. Today young and old alike are realizing that their dream of having a job with a company forever is an illusion.

You can start a home based business with little or no capital investment, no business experience, and it can be done on a part-time basis while still holding on to your regular job. Direct selling companies have grown more than 91 percent in the last 10 years.
Instead of paying millions of dollars for TV, radio and print advertising, direct selling companies take that money and compensate their sales force.


Here are some reasons why starting a home based business may be the right fit for you:
1 – No headquarters, No boss, No employees, No office politics
2 – Low risk, Set your own hours
3 – Worldwide home based business
4 – Favorable tax breaks
5 – No commute, No lawsuits, Low overhead
6 – Residual income, Time freedom, Financial freedom
7 – Available to everyone regardless of sex, age, or education
8 – Helping others to succeed, Leadership opportunities
9 – Starting a home based business is not difficult and requires no licensing

The one downside to Network Marketing is that some of these businesses are pretty shaky. You do want to choose a company that has been around for awhile, has a proven track record of success. Many of these direct selling companies have a very high failure rate, especially with in the first few years of operation. You might want to consider companies that attract professionals, companies that have received awards and recognition.

Direct selling companies that offer some if not all of the following benefits:
1 – High Quality Product
2 – Training, sales, and marketing materials
3 – A training system for new associates/distributors
4 – Company and/ or distributor websites
5 – A  system to track sales
6 – The company should carry the inventory, ship the products and handle returns
7 – Offer incentives such as bonuses, trips, prizes, cash and conventions
8 – Award winning Compensation Plan – Some promise big up front, but please dig deeper!

Then there are companies that offer even more benefits such as:
1 – They partner up with a charity and give back
2 – Offer a tax training program
3 – Insurance for self employed
4 – Advanced marketing materials
5 – Company blog, social media training
6 – Pharmaceutical grade product, In house manufacturing
7 – Your home based business is transferable and can be willed to your heirs

Do your homework! Research the company your considering!
Don’t fall prey to “Get Rich Quick promises” or “You have to get in early to make any money.” If you choose a good company with a great compensation plan, you should be able to make more than someone in your upline.

Now after all that, It’s important to know that research has shown that it is not only the business that determines success or failure. It is usually the business owner. Why do you think some people succeed and others fail at the same business? Two words, KNOWLEDGE and ACTION! Unfortunately many people quit before they acquire the experience and knowledge that they need not realizing that they can save thousands in the tax breaks alone.

Bottom line – The choice between being wealthy and being poor for you and millions of others, is the opportunity that starting a home based business can offer.

Success is entirely up to you. You’re the one that decides. You’re the one in charge!

To Your Success,
