5 Reasons why a home based business can lead you to the life you've dreamed of.

I saw a statistic the other day that blew me away until I actually starting thinking about.  Did you know that over 5 million people a month are actively seeking a home based business as an alternative to their current employment.  5 million!  Now that's a number that should catch everyone's attention.

If that's the case why is that happening?  What would lead so many people to seek this unconventional alternative?  Could it be that running one of these businesses is no longer as difficult as it once was.  Or could it be that the choices now available are much more viable than say 5 years ago.  How about the effect social media is having?  All of these things have led to the significant rise in working from home and it prompted me to analyze some reasons why running a home based business can indeed give people the life they dreamed of.  Let't take a look at some of these reasons

1.  I mentioned it in the last paragraph.  CHOICES!  Folks there are now more choices than ever and if you
     do your homework you can find one that fits your passion, is DOABLE and one can that can pay you
     what you're worth.  People are doing it every day and because there are so many choices your chances
     of success are significantly higher than they have been in the past.

2.  PROVEN SYSTEM.  Here's one of the things I love most.  I don't have to figure anything out.
     Somebody did it for me and has shared their secret with me.  Not only that they've even attached
     numbers to it so I know exactly what needs to be done to give me the life my wife and I have dreamed
     of.   And here's the fun thing.  Once you start going through those numbers you start seeing the plan
     work.  And that's priceless!

3.   AFFORDABILITY.  There's an old saying we've all heard.  "You have to spend money to make
      money."  Well, unfortunately this is true if you want financial freedom and time freedom.  Oh, you can
      get one or the other working full time but you can't have both.  And before a bunch of you jump out of
      your seats after reading this just remember.  If you're working a job and you're making plenty of money
      you're likely not doing it working 20 hours a week and you also have NO control over whether you'll
      even be on that job the next day because it's simply not your company.  If they close the doors there's
      nothing you can do about it.  However, if you found the perfect business you could do from home for
      pennies on the dollar and 20 hours a week now you have something!

4.    INTERNET.  The internet has made it so simple to operate a lucrative home based business.  If you
       have the proven system and you can move your goods/services through the internet you just found
       the recipe for time/financial freedom in the simplest way!  Folks, I've seen it and it is powerful!  And
       businesses are doing it every day.   Just think how far Amazon.com has come.      

5.    EXPOSURE.  Who would have ever thought in 2013 that the amount of exposure a business can get
       would reach this level?  Doesn't it seem like a new social  media outlet opens every day?   And this
       one new tool has allowed simple businesses to reach new heights.  It has to be done right but when it's
       done right the results are mind boggling!

So that's it.  Some of you might read this and say to yourself "he's not really giving any concrete reasons to back up his point" yet I would argue that's exactly what I've done.  If you found the right business that you love, has a proven system, is affordable, operates on the internet, gives you unlimited exposure and has worked for thousands of people to get time/financial freedom wouldn't you agree that's the perfect business.  And the great thing is there are plenty of them!  So go find yours and live the life you deserve.

Why Network Marketing is no longer a laughingstock!

There's an old saying that says "It's best to work smarter not harder."  I don't know about you but I personally very much agree with this thought.  Life and success are much simpler this way wouldn't you agree?

So if that's the case how do we work smarter without working harder.  Ah, the million dollar question!  Most Americans are conditioned to get a job, work 40 hours a week, get a great benefits packages and hope to hold on to that until retirement and then kick back, enjoy the sun and never have to worry about life again.  Sound familiar?  Well what's wrong with this picture?   Could it be some of these facts


  • the average person will hold 9 jobs during their lifetime
  • the probability of losing your job or having your pay seriously cut because you're making too much money is higher than ever
  • there's always going to be a boss at some point in your life that's going to make your work life miserable
  • you can't pass your job along to your loved ones
  • you have no control over whether you have a job tomorrow and you therefore have no control over your income
Now I know I just ticked off everyone who has a job and is reading this blog.  Well if I did that was not my intention. My intention is to get you to think and look at how do I work smarter and not harder.  

And that's where a good network marketing opportunity can play a role.  Yes, I said it.  Network marketing!  Those dreaded 2 words that also are spoken in the same sentence with "pyramid", "one of those things", "scams" and God only knows how many other slang terms.  But the truth of the matter is there is NO better path to financial freedom, living the life of your dreams and protecting yourself from a recession than a good solid network marketing business.  Don't believe me?  Well would you believe it if Donald Trump said it?  How about Warren Buffet?  What about the author of the best selling book Rich Dad Poor Dad, Robert Kiyosaki?  Would you believe him?  Well all 3 of these financial geniuses have endorsed network marketing as the best pathway to these objectives.  

So why now has network marketing become this great opportunity to work smarter?  Why now are there more of them than ever?  Folks, I can sum it all up in one word.  INTERNET!  The internet has changed everything and made the impossible possible, the ability to own a business without risk doable and the opportunity to live the life of your dreams without punching a time clock a reality.
 
 And by working for yourself and building an asset that will pay you whether you're working or not you're working SMARTER!

What could be better than being able to drop what you're doing and go enjoy a sunny day, or go to the beach or just kick back and relax but not having to worry about where the money is coming from. 

Well, Ron, I've looked at those things before and only the people at the top make money!  And you have to get your family/friends to join you!  And you have to bug people to buy your product!  I'm going to shock you now but guess what.  All of these things could be true; HOWEVER, let me explain.  

There are some companies where only the people at the top do make all the money.  Guess what. Stay away from them!  There are plenty of other good ones out there where that's not the case.

Regarding family/friends, let me ask you a question.  If you knew someone who was miserable, broke, unhappy with their job or financial situation and you had an answer for their problem do you think it's bothering them if you ASKED them "Are you open to seeing something that can change that?"   Notice I ASKED!  If they say no drop it.  That simple!  But I can tell you from experience if you ask a question to someone who fits that profile you may be shocked to hear what they'll say.  Now by asking a question am I bugging them?  

As far as my product is concerned let me ask you another question.  If you had a product you believed in and you knew there was a HUGE market for that product and that market was growing do you think it's bugging someone if you asked them "Are you open to trying this?"   

Huhhhhhhhhhhhhh!  It can't be that simple, Ron!  Nothing is that simple.  Well, you're right again.  And that's why it's not a get rich quick scheme. But if you find a good company (like I did) in 2 to 3 years you can actually build an asset that will pay you for the rest of your life and allow you to live the life of your dreams in as little as 10 to 15 hours a week.  

And I'm going to shock you again folks.  It's actually fun!  What can be more fun than changing someone's life for the better and watching them realize their dreams.   

And that my friends is why network marketing is no longer a laughingstock.  The laughingstock are the people that criticize it.  And how much fun do you think it is to prove them wrong?  That might be the best reason yet!
