Now is the Time to Start Your Online Business, Regardless of the Recession
Many people who are interested in starting a home 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. As with most of the major life decisions (e.g., getting married, having a child, starting a busines) – there is never a “right” time; there is only today.
2. If you want to get rich, you need to own your own business, as 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. 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. Home-based businesses don’t feel as much impact from the high costs of gas, parking and children’s daycare.
8. There are significant tax advantages from owning an online business.
9. Internet businesses are generally easy to start. Just bring some basic language skills and the ability to point, click and follow directions.
10. When you have your own online business, you are in control of your financial future – not some “boss” you must impress or hope is not putting your name on the next list of job cuts! The upside is great – you can make a lot of money.
Hundreds of thousands of new businesses will launch in the next 12 months, regardless of the recessionary economy. Shouldn’t you be one of them? Aren’t you ready to leave the 9-5 rat race behind you?
Carpe Diem! Don’t waste any time, seize the day! This is the time to start your own business .
