Don’t Let the Recession Stop You From Starting a Home Business

Posted by myarticlenetwork on October 2, 2009

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 for most of the big life decisions, e.g., starting a business, getting married, having your first child – there is never a “perfect” time.

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. It has 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 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 to owning a home business.

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. The internet puts you in control; no more hoping your boss will give you a raise or promotion, no more hoping you won’t be included in the next round of job cuts – plus, the upside is incredible! You really can make a lot of money.

Hundreds of thousands of new businesses will launch in the next 12 months, regardless of the recessionary economy. Is this the right time for you to join them? Isn’t it really time to leave the 9-5 routine behind you along with all the related job stress?

Carpe Diem! Seize the day! This is the time to start an online business .
