Don’t Let the Recession Prevent You from Starting Your Online Business

Posted by myarticlenetwork on July 26, 2009

Many people who are interested in starting a home-based 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 important decisions in life (e.g., starting a business, getting married, having your first child) – there is never a perfect time.

2. To become wealthy, you really need to own your own business (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. Internet marketing businesses aren’t as impacted by the usual commuter costs (gas and parking) and childcare expenses.

8. Owning a home business provides significant tax advantages.

9. Online businesses are generally easy to start. All you need are basic language skills and the ability to point, click and follow directions.

10. If you’ve always wanted to be your own boss, let the internet put you in the driver’s seat with your own online business! If you’re willing to work, 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. Isn’t it time that you joined them? Isn’t it really time to leave the 9-5 routine behind you along with all the related job stress?

Carpe Diem! Don’t let opportunity pass you by; seize the day! Now is the right time to start your own business .
