Network Marketing: The Ultimate Home-Based BusinessWhy is Network Marketing considered the Ultimate Home-Based Business? Lets look at a few of the reasons why you and many others are looking to having a home based business as a viable alternative to working for someone else.
You would like the freedom that owning your business would provide.
The J.O.B. or working for someone else has lost its luster.
You have good, creative ideas and plenty of energy yet not much money to invest right now.
You want to spend more time with your family.
Perhaps like many people today, the economic downturn has affected your employment situation and you need to take back control of your income.
Or maybe you just want to take advantage of the tax benefits that are available to those that work out of their home.
Robert Kiyosaki has stated in his books that the first step to creating wealth is to become a business owner. However if freedom is what you are looking for then a owning a business in the conventional sense may not exactly fit your bill. A conventional business brings along with it a list of demands of which the most demanding is employees. Having employees could adversely affect the freedom that you would want owning your business to provide.Owning a conventional business or even a franchise sounds may sound appealing yet you will find it is very similar working for someone else. You may own the company or franchise however in all reality what you have done is create a job for yourself. If you have employees you have the added responsibility of creating work for them also. There goes the luster of owning a conventional business.Starting a franchise or opening a business takes capitol. You may have plenty of energy and creative ideas but do you have enough money to purchase a franchise or have the capitol to keep it going for a year? Most businesses fail within two years because they are under capitalized.The lack of quality family time seems to affect nearly everybody. With commutes getting longer and longer and with many people needing to work two jobs to make ends meet, there seems to be little or no time left for family. Stands to reason why when asked what is important to them, most people answer that the freedom to do what they would like with their time is right up there with work freedom.But the question that lurks in the background is still there: What can I do that will provide a good living, allow me to be my own boss, not take a ton of capitol and also give me time with my family or where ever I am needed.
Let’s look at another situation. Perhaps you have been laid off or have had your position eliminated as the result of the current economic situation. This is truly a disturbing yet all too common situation. You have plenty of time, lots of energy and creative ideas yet little if any income. You realize after the fact that nothing is certain and now you must take control of your career.There is one more reason why people are turning to a Home Based Business; for the many tax advantages. Starting with the fact that a portion of your home is now your office and can be deducted on your income tax and as a business owner all your expenses are deductible. There are too many to go into here so let me just say that if only for this reason, a Home Based Business bears serious consideration.At the top of this article I stated that Network Marketing is the Ultimate Home Based Business. Let’s take a look at my reasons behind that statement.
By becoming a business owner you have taken the first step towards wealth as described by Robert Kiyosaki
Since most people get into Network Marketing at a part time level, you will probably still have your job however you know in your heart that soon you will be able to leave it. That alone will add a spring in your step and a little luster to your work.
It doesn’t take a lot of money to get started and will certainly allow you to use your energy and creativity.
While you may not immediately have the time you want to spend with your family, your goals will ensure that you will and sooner than you think.
You have now taken control of your economic destiny. As a Network Marketer, you are in the distinct position of being able to go as far up as you can imagine. There is no Glass Ceiling and you decide what will be the Top of Your Ladder, not some corporate executive.
Network Marketing while certainly open to everyone, is not necessarily right for everyone. There are some who need the structure of a job, there are some for whom being self-employed creates more anxiety than excitement and there are some who aren’t comfortable dealing with people. There is nothing at all wrong with any of these; it takes every kind of people imaginable to make up this world. However, for those individuals who are looking to own their own business, their own future and genuinely like people Network Marketing is clearly the Ultimate Home Based Business.
