Don’t Let the Recession Stop You from Starting Your Own Business
Many people who are interested in starting an online 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. For most of the big 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 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 and a market of $30 billion in the United States and $100 billion worldwide. That number is expected to grow to $326 billion by 2012.
4. Financial experts call network marketing 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 an online business provides a number of 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 Internet gives you more control of your financial future than a 9-5 job. You’re the boss, and the upside is incredible! The upside potential is great.
Thousands and thousands of new businesses will start in the next year, despite the recession. Wouldn’t you like to join them? Aren’t you ready to leave all the job-related stress behind you?
Carpe Diem! Don’t waste any time, seize the day! Today is the time to start your own business .
