Thousands of people start a Home Based Business every single day! Thousands! Why? What makes a Home Based Business so attractive and where are all these people coming from?

Before getting too far into the perks of a Home Based Business, let’s do a quick analysis of the competition:

1. A J.O.B. – A job really doesn’t even hold a candle to a Home Based Business but people will actually choose a good paying job instead of a Home Business. Why? A false sense of security, a regular paycheck and much less risk. Don’t forget, you also get 2 weeks of paid vacation and a bonus check here and there.
2. A Franchise – Franchises are the closest thing to a Home Based Business in the fact that  they have a system already in place. The downfall to a franchise is the franchise rules, the large start-up costs, and the continued franchise fees. To start a McDonalds a person has to have a net worth of a million dollars with half of that being liquid. You can make 6 figures with a McD’s but must deal with employees, long hours, complaints, etc. You get the picture.
3. Brick and Mortar Business – For anyone who has no clue of what a brick and mortar business is, allow me to explain….it is any other regular mom and pop business. Clear? With these, there are no systems to follow, larger start-up costs, employees, etc. In order to have true success in these businesses, you must buy one that is already successful, have a great business plan or plenty of funding until you are profitable. Most mom and pop businesses are not profitable until 3 – 5 years after starting. 90% of all businesses fail within their 3rd year. It is a sad statistic I know, but true!
4. Work at home JOB – These are the transcripts, letter mailing, answering emails, taking surveys type of work. They are not your own business and the pay is minimal for the hours of work invested. You can make a little extra money though, enough to pay for an extra tank of gas or something of that nature!

Human nature is to flourish, excel, succeed and to live a life of luxury. A job definitely isn’t the answer nor a work at home job. Franchises and mom and pop businesses can provide this on a larger scale but at what cost? What would it take to get there? Is your family the one that has to pay for your success?

People are turning towards a Home Based Business because:

1. There is a system to follow. No guesswork is involved.
2. The compensation in specific business models is unparalleled in any other type of business opportunity.
3. The initial investment to start a home based business is extremely low for the income potential.
4. Complete control over your work schedule. Work when you want!
5. A Home Based Business is mobile. Take it with you on vacation and make money while gone or just work from home!
6. No stocking, warehousing or pre-purchasing products or inventory.
7. Direct mentoring from other successful Home Based Business Entrepreneurs.
8. Residual and passive income streams!
9. Most have a proven track history of success.
10. Freedom and complete control of your time as an Entrepreneur.

Little else compares to having your own Home Based Business. It all just depends on what you’re looking for in your life…..time freedom with the income, just the income, or neither. I think the choice is obvious!

How many of you, starting out in 2009, are thinking that a wage, 60 hour work weeks and two weeks of paid vacation sounds like a pretty good deal? Let’s say that your wage would be around $80k US, or even $100k US! Does that sound pretty good? You get all of that for only 60 hours a week at work and let’s say they even throw in a company car for you so that you don’t even have to pay for your own commuting, which by the way is going to be an extra 2 hours round trip! So all together, you are spending only about 70 hours a week working and getting all the perks! What a deal right?! All I have to say to that is, “Good luck with that!”

Let me tell you of a business opportunity that can make you more money working less than a third of the time. Yes, you named it. It is a Home Based Business that has such a simple system designed so much leverage that it only requires around 20 hours a week, tops, to make a multiple 6 figure income. Oh, and by the way, you get to work from home, so take out the commuting. You get at least 6 months of paid vacation time, at least I do! I can take my business with me to Acapulco this March.

Oh, and I almost forgot about passive income, living your dreams, assisting others in doing the same, and being part of a community of self-made millionaires, all of whom are personally vested in your success.

If you would like to become nothing more in this world than a doctor, what would you do? You would go learn from other doctors at school, in the field, on the side and would do all that you could to surround yourself with other professionals in the medical field.

So, if you would like to work 20 hours a week or less, travel every other month, earn a multiple 6 to a 7 figure income, spend more time with the ones you love most, get your freedom back, take control of your financial future and ultimately achieve your dreams, what would you do?

The answer is simple! I have been and am doing that. Stop settling and start living your life! Contact me now!

Looking to start a home based business? Is this your first time or have you tried something in the past?
Did it work for you? If so, what happened and why are you looking again? How do you know if you have found a home based business that is going to be profitable for you? How do you know if it is actually going to work before you jump into it? How can you know that you will do all that it takes to create the success you desire through this new home business of yours?

Here is an interesting fact: Thousands of people start a home based business every single day! Thousands! That is a huge number. How many of them actually experience the success they desire? How many of them can actually make a living at what they do? To tell you the truth, I have no idea what the actual stats are, but I can tell you that most home business owners are not able to support themselves without some other source of income. Many people quit before they even get into profit and this isn’t just true for a home based business, this is true for all businesses.

The only way to fail, in a home based business, is to quit. Why, because you can do it on your own time. You can work the business around your schedule until you are profitable. But, there are traits to look for in finding a successful home based business opportunity to start. Allow me give you some guidance:

1. Who is paid first, you or the wholesale company? Make sure it is you!
2. Do you have to stock inventory or pre-purchase your product? Make sure this one is a big fat no! There are home businesses out there that will ship, stock, do customer service for you and all you do is collect the profit!
3. Is it MLM? Now this is up to you, but know this, those you assist in signing up into the business will never make as much money as you do. Normally, the commissions are small, you have to stock and warehouse products and you have monthly quotas to meet. However, they are residual.
4. Are you choosing your home business to have the product or to make some money? Please, please, please say to make money! You go into business to make money. The product is the way to make money and most products are outstanding. Keep your focus!
5. Large commissions! Do you want to sell your product to half the world before you are profitable or would you like to do less work, sell a few, and make more money. Enough said!
6. SYSTEM! Is there a turnkey system in place that you can follow? This is a must. More people fail when there is no system to follow!
7. Look for the success the business opportunity has had. This is a big one. If you are looking for fault, you are sure to find it, even in paradise! Every, I repeat, every successful business has someone talking negative about it or trying to get a freebie. I mean Walmart is sued every half hour! DO NOT base your decision to get started in or not to get started in a business because of what people say in negativity forums. There are two classes of people who fail, those who fail and blame others and those who fail and take personal responsibility for their own actions. The ones who blame others are the comments you read on forums! The ones who take personal responsibility will one day succeed and the ones who are successful, are the ones still working their home business. Talk to two or more of them and ignore the failures.
8. Go on your “gut feeling.” The best way to make a decision is by following your heart! The head will just get in the way. Starting a business is about chance, confidence in yourself, and risk. You can’t rely on logic for that. It is about you! Can you succeed? Do your research and jump in with both feet!

Home based businesses are creating millionaires and there is no difference between you and those who have  already done it. Well, I guess there is one, time!

What does it truly mean to know your objective and do just that? First off, you must clearly define your objective, or your goals. This means you must know what it is, where it will come from, when you are going to accomplish it, and the steps that will lead you to that end.

Let’s use the ant as an example. An ants objective is to gather food for the entire colony. That is objective number one. Objective number two is to protect the colony. There isn’t much lolly gagging around. To an ant, getting food is primary until threatened. Then protection is primary. It is about survival.

Let’s relate this to running a successful business or becoming an entrepreneur. Your first objective is to gather food, or income, or raise. Nothing else should step in the way of that. Make it a priority. Set apart your “income producing” time. Get that time done before moving on to anything else. In Network Marketing or a Home Based Business, it is very easy to be distracted by other things. While working from home, there are kids to play with, wife or husband to help out, things to clean or build, babies crying and activities that do not add to the “income producing” ones. Do not let these get in the way. Set your priorities and tackle them in order of importance.

Get clear on your objective. Operate as you are already there and as though it is happening. This comes about through visualizing your goals. Once already at the end goal or the final destination, it is easier to see the steps you must take to arrive there. You can begin to work backwards and figure things out that might not be otherwise anticipated.

And always, always, always be a master of one. In other words, don’t be a jack of all trades and a master of none. When you start a business, project, or job, finish that one first or make that one the most successful first before you attempt to look elsewhere. I have known people who have started three Home Based Businesses all at once! Guess which ones failed? All of them failed! There is power behind concentrated and channeled focus. When directed to one objective, success happens!

So let us be more and think more like the ant. Even though it is pure instinct and the nature of the ant, I have no doubt that the ant is thinking “food, food, food, food” the entire time it is looking for it. It definitely isn’t thinking about the sexy queen ant it met the other day. It is extremely focused on the objective, and thus, extremely successful!

This is the second of the 10 Philosophies of the Ant.

There was a recent toll taken on the percentage of people who are looking for, considering, or interested in starting a home business. The results showed that roughly 45% are excited and cannot wait to get started in a home business, 40% are currently investigating a home business, 10% percent haven’t even thought about starting a home business and about 5% were not interested at all. Those are some serious numbers! So, almost 50% of people that were surveyed are already excited about a home business and let’s just say that half of the people who are investigating a home business get started as well. That is about 70% of the surveyed population that will be working from home! That is a lot of people.

Now let’s take that ratio and plug the numbers into the US population. That, again, is a lot of people! More and more people are looking for a way to create a little more time freedom. Most Dad’s spend more time at work than they do with their families! No wonder the crime rates are rising. More and more people are leaning towards starting a home business for that main reason. That’s the reason I am here and doing this business. For the time freedom, financial freedom, and the ability to be in total and complete control of my life!

The numbers of people starting a home business are going to astound you! The population in the US is over 300 billion people. If these numbers are consistent, you will see a whole lot of people working a home based business or the next few years. Even if you drastically decrease the percentages, that is still millions and millions of people that will jump on board with some kind of a home business. How many of those millions of people are going to become millionaires. Some will fail, or quit, I should say. Others will do well. Others will just do ok. The successes will vary with the business opportunity. But fact of the matter is, people want more out of life, and a home business will provide that for them.

I believe that over 80% of all businesses started in the US never make it past their 3rd year in business. Now, I have no idea why the failure rate is so high. I am sure it is many different reasons and factors that play into each failure. For one it may be that they were under capitolized, or maybe lack of advertising, maybe a bad location, or maybe just a bad product or service. Who knows.

Wouldn’t it be nice if everyone business succeeded? Wouldn’t it be comforting to know that if you decided to start a business today, that you would succeed and that everyone else that started a business would succeed? How prosperous would our world as we know it be? There would be no risk involved because your chances of succeeding are 100%! As nice as this may seem, it cannot happen and it must not happen.

It has to be this way. There has to be failure to offset success. To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Come on, we have all heard of this. To have joy, you must know and have experienced sadness. To feel good you have to have felt bad. Becoming an entrepreneur, succeeding at business and becoming successful is not an easy thing, otherwise, everyone would be doing it.

There is risk is starting a business. You could go out of business, you could lose your shirt, you could blow your life savings, or you could have no life and be married to your business. You could stay at your dead end job and have someone else run your life for you. On the other hand, you could strike it big, become wealthy, live your ultimate lifestyle, take charge and become the CEO of your life! Free enterprise is the only way to truly enjoy your life to the fullest. Leverage your time, increase your profits, and live your life. Risk is measured only by the way you view your own potential to accomplish the task at hand. Confidence is everything. You create your own risk by lack of confidence in yourself and in your business.

Here is a stat for you….90% of bussiness without a system fail. 90% of businesses with a system, succeed! I have succeeded in business due to the system that was already in place. I avoided a huge stumbling block by starting this business opportunity. Make it easier to succeed in business by starting a business that is already proven to work.
