Business Success Is Simply Getting What You Want

The goal in business as in anything, is simply to get what you want. Actually, the most difficult and crucial part of starting a business is deciding exactly what you want to achieve. After that, the steps necessary to achieve that goal fall into place.

We all have our reasons for leaving the corporate world in order to work for ourselves. For me personally, I wanted more time and money to enjoy life and make a difference to the people around me. Parents often want to spend more time with their children and perhaps even home school them. Artists want more time and energy to be creative. After all, working 40-80 hours a week to get someone else what they want really takes its toll on your creative energy.

Just this week I heard that 1 in 6 people in the United States now work from home. And approximately 175,000 people are expected to start a home business next year. This tells me that people are very aware that entrepreneurship is the ticket to making life better.

If you've been kicking around the idea of starting a home business, you are in the exact right place at the exact right time. After all, suceess in business and especially in a business you work on your terms, is simply a matter of getting what you want. Contact me today and you can be on your way to getting what you want by tomorrow.

Define Simple Business

When someone decides they've had enough of working for someone else and are ready to start their own business, what criteria matter the most? Most people look for such things as profitability, start-up costs, training or expertise required, and marketability. Many of us who are now home based entrepreneurs talked to other entrepeneurs and searched the internet or business opportunity section of newspapers and magazines. Some may have read books on how to start a business. So how do you actually define a simple business that you or I can make a lot of money doing?

For Ed and me it wasn't very hard. We talked to someone already in the business. He had us listen to a 25 minute business overview call which explained the nuts and bolts of everything. The call pretty much answered all the questions we had. Sounded very lucrative and ingenious to us. In fact, the longer we're a part of this company and the more time we spend with the co-founders, the simpler the whole thing becomes.

Just today one of the co-founders was talking about how important it is to keep this business simple so that other, average people like us, can also make an extraordinary amount of money without having to learn of lot of skills or spend too much time at it. His premise is that we only truly succeed when we are having fun doing what we do. In fact, we actually do an adult form of Simon Says. This really workis for me because my goals are simple. I want to make a lot of money without spending a lot of time doing it so I can spend time doing other things.

Those other things include volunteer work, sailing, reading, and travelling. Also, I know that I will succeed only to the degree that I am serving others. You see, my purpose is all about making a difference and glorifying my creator. So, when I define a simple business, it really has to be simple. Because I don't have time to learn and do a lot of complicated things. Life is too short.

How Long Will It Take?

If you continue working at your current job, how long will it take you to become independently wealthy? The answer to this question depends on several factors. These include the income you generate, your expenses, the investments you make, and your self-discipline. If you are earning less than $100,000 a year, you will probably never become independently wealthy unless you inherit a sizable chunk of cash. After all, there are only so many hours in a day that you can work, right?

So what are your options? Besides working for someone else, there is multi-level marketing with uplines, downlines, products to warehouse, and meetings to attend or conduct. There are franchises with large initial investments and then long hours in order to "pay yourself" a salary no where near what you deserve. There are brick and mortar businesses that also require a huge amount of time and money on your part. Real estate investing or selling is another option, also requiring either money or time.

These are the reasons our company came into existence. Our co-founders have a vision of helping as many people as possible become millionaires with a proven system and quality products. We have a simple three-step system that anyone can duplicate. The initial investment is up to the person who chooses to become an associate.

The bottom line is that large profits are available to everyone on an equal basis. For this reason people come here to become millionaires rather trying it someplace else. The earning potential is large, multiple six figures in the first year. No one knows how long their life will be. Most of us have dreams of travelling and experiencing many things that weren't even possible 25 or 50 years ago.

If you are like me, you'd like to get things rolling in a hurry. I have a list of 101 things to do before I die (I've already done many of them so I keep adding new ones) and most of them require time and money. I am grateful to have both. What about your list? Do you have one? Have you started checking things off? If nothing changes, how long will it take you to achieve your goals? I stand ready to assist you in making it happen - soon.

Job Security

This past Monday was Labor Day in the United States. This is a holiday which was created to recognize the men and women who work all year for an employer. These employees are rewarded with a paid day off in recognition for their devotion to their job for the remainder of the year. Paid holidays, such as Labor Day, are important to workers who have traded their time and energy for money and the "job security" it represents.

Just a couple of generations ago most Americans were actually entrepreneurs. Most people worked in agriculture on the family farm. If one's family didn't actually own a farm, then many people worked for someone who did own a farm. It was a minority of people who ran businesses or provided services to others for pay.

As agriculture came to be done more by machines, fewer people could produce more crops. As a result, farms became larger because machines can do a whole lot more a whole lot faster than people and animals can. The larger farms displaced the people who used to live on small farms and sent them to the cities to look for work. Textile, steel, and automobile factories became huge places for employment for millions of Americans in the 20th century. Unions came into existence and factory workers achieved minimum wages and as many "benefits" as their union representatives could negotiate for them. This was the case for a couple of generations at least. People worked 40 and sometimes even 50 years for the same company and retired with a pension and other benefits such as health insurance.

Toward the end of the 20th century, this situation changed rapidly. As most of us are aware, many factory jobs have been relocated to other countries where the expected wage is much lower. So the very benefits people worked so hard to attain were gone in a flash. What to do now? For most middle and upper class workers the 40-hour work week is a distant memory. To achieve any kind of job security, middle management and executive level employees know they are expected to work many more than 40 hours per week. And job security is a misnomer. Corporate buyouts, takeovers, outsourcing and restructuring leave no security whatsoever.

These are the reasons for our amazingly simple home business. Ours is a business you own for yourself but not by yourself. The company co-founders saw the need for a simple home based business in direct sales. They developed three unique products in the personal development arena with one profit going to one person. With this proven and very successful company, the only job security you need is within you. Take a look. You'll be in great company. And you can have any holiday you want with the pay you determine.
