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!

Why the Confusion about Network Marketing?
Some people just don’t get it when you ask them about Network Marketing. Without any valid evidence to rest their case upon, they dismiss it as “one of those things.” Surely it’s a scam!!
A scam? Yes, there are plenty of scams out there in the free world, but done properly and with integrity, network marketing is not one of them. Are there companies using the network marketing business model who do not operate with integrity or without the best interest of their customers? Of course, but they exist in traditional business as well. So do your homework, as you would when evaluating any business.
Let’s look at a traditional business model and dissect one big difference between the two models. That difference would be advertising.
Traditionally, if a business has a product or service to get into the marketplace, research would be done to determine exactly what kind of penetration could be made after implementing various advertising methods. The cost of advertising would be a serious redline on the balance sheet until sales were made to get the company in profit. This example is extremely simplified for illustration, but the point is this – no sales typically occur until after advertising is made, and even then, it’s a crap shoot.
Now let’s look at the model used in network marketing. Here, all advertising is done through word-of-month. Then, the “fee” for advertising (which is done through individual distributors), is not paid out UNTIL product or service is sold. This just makes good business sense. Although there are many risks involved in starting any business, the risk of paying for advertising while not knowing (and only guessing) the outcome of the advertising, often an extremely high expense for any business, is virtually eliminated.
Who are you more likely to trust -- Your friend, a billboard or random magazine ad?
Network marketing is not a scam; it is simply a way of rewarding those who take the time to let others know about a needed product or service. Do some real investigating and learn the facts before you dismiss this growing business model.
I am part of an online group that is taking a marketing challenge called 180 days to greatness. We have a coach, Nadira Haniff who assigns daily tasks that need to be completed. This program is exceptional and I would recommend everyone signing up for it as it is now available to the public. But HURRY it is limited to the first 500 people. Don’t be disappointed. Suzanne Lavigne gives her word that you will not regret it. It is the best thing that I have ever done. Visit www.180daystomarketingsuccess and get started today!!
