SUPER-SIZED, DOWN-SIZED, AND GLOBALIZED The Changing Face of America’s Workplace

America’s workplace has changed. People my age (Gen-X’ers) will change careers six times. Corporate America has down-sized and Small Business is now Big Business! We are in the middle of a Home-Based Business Boom with 50,000 new Home-Based Businesses starting weekly according to www.entrepreneurmag.com People no longer frown at those who work from home but envy them.

Several Key Factors to Look for when Choosing a home based business:

Find a reputable company with proven leadership. Whether you are starting a traditional business, or joining a Network Marketing Company; a company is only as good as its leaders. Do your homework, ask questions, and investigate. A company can ultimately only be as good as the folks at the top.
Is it the right industry? Servicing retiring baby boomers is IN and will be IN for a LONG TIME! The fastest growing segment of the population is those over 100! Companies that service this demographic will be in business for a LONG time.
Go Global. In his book: “The World is Flat” Thomas Friedman points out that with the advent of Globalization, the world is a level playing field. The average Jane/Joe can now do a better job, many times, than the big guys. Start with a company that is either global in scope or can go global with minimal effort. Is the product/service consumable? Is the product/service border friendly?
Infrastructure. In their new book: “Why We Want You to be Rich” Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki talk about leverage. Smart people LEVERAGE themselves for maximum profitability. America’s first billionaire, J. Paul Getty said: “I’d rather have 1% of 100 people’s efforts than 100% of my own. Kiyosaki says, “Successful people look for and build Networks everyone else just looks for work.” Whether it’s a home based business, or traditional business; ask yourself, “Is the infra-structure and network in place to sustain long term growth and expansion?
Use the Internet. Don’t fear it, use it. You don’t have to be a “nerd” to “cash-in” on this trend that has only just begun. Get on social networks and start blogging. Let people find you and use your help as the expert you are.

Time is moving and CHANGE is the only constant. Find something you are passionate about, plug into a success system, and let’s have fun, help people, and make a lot of money!
