building a business

Building a business is your best bet to get rich. One big advantage is that those who build businesses are able to pay their expenses before they pay their taxes, instead of after. To learn more, I strongly urge you to read Robert Kioysaki's books - particularly the Cashflow Quadrant and Rich Dad Poor Dad. Find more resources for building a business here.

home based business

I'm writing this as my small children play around me. Sometimes my 1 year old grabs at the laptop, but mostly he's interested in stickers and the Little People. My 3 year old is playing with the Little People on the floor by me. My 5 year old and my 7 year old are playing with friends at a water park this afternoon - a very special treat for them.

My 1 year old is now pulling a little people in a tractor wagon. He's so proud of himself, he wanted to tell me what he was doing.

I love working from home. I couldn't stand the thought of missing all this.

Concerned about your pension? What are you going to do when you retire?

United Airlines defaulting on its pension plan for employees? Sounds like it. Life is no longer certain for the employee. Pension funds are underfunded, businesses have no qualms about laying you off right before you retire, so they can get younger, cheaper workers.

What can you do? Start your own business. Don't know how? The best way to learn is through multi-level marketing. The training is good, cost-effective and look at it this way - it's in my best interest to develop you, and it's in your best interest to learn!

Plus, the monetary investment is fairly minimal. Better to make mistakes and learn from them when you don't have thousands of dollars at stake. Learn more.

Multi-level Marketing will come into its own.

Franchising a business used to be viewed with disdain. Then Ray Kroc and McDonald's came along. Now, it seems that you can buy a franchise of any business - from an exercise club to a home improvement service and, of course, food outlets.

Right now, multi-level, or network, marketing is viewed with disdain by those outside the industry. However, it's a hugely successful business - making many people wealthy, and giving many more the extra income they need in order to live the life they want.

Plus, it makes sense. It's a win-win situation for everyone involved. I want to earn more money, so I work with you to teach you the skills you need to earn money. You want to earn more money, so you work with me to learn those skills. We both earn money, and are not in competition with each other - we're working together. Plus, we're helping people.

You can hardly lose - unless you don't want to develop yourself personally. Then, perhaps you should consider something else - like working for a franchise.

Internet based home business

I never thought I would be involved in multi-level marketing. But I love these products, and I realized that they would help other people too.

Then, I realized I could supplement my husband's income, while working at home and on the internet with this company. It's a great opportunity, and a great company with good products. You can't build a business without good products or without a company that has a long history of great service. So, if you're interested in building a home-based, internet-based business, check this out.

Work from home part-time and earn a full-time salary

Here's what Mary Kaczor has to say about her home-based business:

"My name is Mary Kaczor, and I am an R.N. ... I love my [business]. I earn approximately $70,000 per year and work 5-20 hours per week from my home, (that averages $100 per hour), and I get paid even when I’m not working because of what I’ve built.

I teach wellness and have helped countless people significantly improve their health and lifestyle by owning their own In-Home Business. I love the freedom, being my own boss, and having unlimited income potential! Many earn over $200,000 per year and I feel certain that it is only a matter of time and I will be there also. I’ve enjoyed 4 BONUS CARS and FREE world-wide luxury travel with my family, and feel greatly appreciated by a company I love and respect. I am able to put my family first while having time and financial freedom. [This company] offers products that are the very “Best of Nature and the Best of Science” representing 86 years of research, and I feel very proud to share them with others. This company improves the lives of everyone it touches."

If you are looking for a better life, more income, less stress and more time, and would love to make a real difference in people’s health and lives, I would love you to join my team. I will train you. It is my job to help you succeed! For more information, click here.

Why this is one of the best home based businesses

Are you evaluating home based internet businesses? Read this letter from Jodie S., in Sheridan, Michigan.

"I would love to share my story with you. I am 24, and do have a home based day care. However, my license expires in May, and I am not getting recertifed.

I was introduced to [this company] about 6 years ago. Never purchased a Membership, and only used [this cleaner] . I continued purchasing products at retail prices for about 4 years. I decided to purchase the Membership after my first daughter was so sick! I mean I was on first name basis at the pediatricians office. She started out life on an antibiotic. At about 3 months her doctor decided she probably had allergies. He asked me if my house was clean. I told him I am a clean freak; I spray the crib, changing table, diaper pail, everything with LYSOL! He told me that was GREAT! (Boy was I STUPID)

Shortly after that she was also diagnosed with Chronic Asthma. So she was now on 2 inhalers, and 2 allergy medications. After going on with this for over 18 months, I decided that I would call Mary Alexander, she did a Healthy Home Party that I attended, and I also got a few products from her. She told me that the first thing I should do is get all the CHEMICALS out of my house. I thought she was CRAZY! So I thought what do I have to lose. I can get my $$ back if I don't like it or whatever. After all this was a better offer than Shellbie's doctor had made.

So I got a box took all of my cleaners out of the house and replaced everything with [this company's products]. After a few weeks, I did see some change. I then started her on [a multi-vitamin], [chewable vita-c], and [chewable calcium]. After about 2 weeks the change was for sure. We hadn't been to the doctor in about 6 weeks.

After the success I saw my daughter had with [this company], I began to share [this company] with my friends. One of my best friends had a son, who was about a month older than Shellbie. He was so sick that he had tubes in his ears, tonsils & adnoids out, and on 1 antibiotic for 21 days at a time. I began to share with her, so she thought she would try it. She to began to see the results. She then detoxed her house and replaced everything with [this company].

It was in May of 2002, I decided to start my own business. I wanted to make a difference for others by sharing Shaklee with them. In July I was [making money] just by sharing with others. After I tell people my story they always decide to try it.

I never really decided to replace my day care business with Shaklee until Shellbie started pre-school, and how much I sometimes miss out on by being tied down with day care. When I started my day care it was so I could be home with her, and be involved in everything she does. Well, with day care you cannot. Unless you have a back-up, or close for a day, then you have upset parents! Because they are depending on me!

Now that I have another daughter Shalie who is 9 months, I realized how much I have missed out with Shellbie. Not as much 1 on 1 time, etc. The greatest things about [this company] vs. Day Care is that you can work when you want, with whom you want, and how much you want. No 60+ hour weeks, No taking caring of kids you dont enjoy, and being tied down to your home EVERYDAY 12+ hours per day!

If I can develop an AWESOME business in 6 months, earning a Bonus Check of $1200, anyone can do it! You have to be COMMITED, CONSISTANT, and CONFIDENT and you will be SUCCESSFUL!

My best friend that I mentioned before with the sick son, also has an in home day care, and she is building a Shaklee Business too. She is already [making money]. You know the funniest thing too, is that she told me she couldn't have a business because we knew the same people. Was she ever wrong.

I always assure my new builders that they are the only one who can stop themselves from SUCCESS!"

As an aside, I cannot legally tell you the name of the company that changed Jodie's life and the life of her friend. I'm not trying to scam you - these are REAL people, using REAL products that REALLY work. And you can make REAL money from home doing it.

And, the great thing is that other than talking with people, it's based on the internet. Questions? Read more here.

Work at home - be your own boss

I admit it - working for someone else is really quite easy. You work, you get paid. Maybe not as much as you think you're worth, but every two weeks - or twice a month - there's a paycheck. Plus, the company picks up part of the cost of your insurance.

Working for yourself is more risky. The paycheck isn't as steady. However, you get paid according to how much you work. You can decide how much you want to put into your business, and how much you want to get paid. So - work some, get paid some. Work lots, get paid lots more. The potential is huge.

Unless you have a spouse who works & gets benefits, you will have to pay for your own insurance. But, all your health care expenses - including preventative care! - is tax-deductible. Set up your business correctly, and you can expense your supplements, your gym membership, your haircuts and a ton of other things too. Depending on your situation, you can shift about $20,000 in personal expenses to legitimate business expenses - which are tax-deductible.

Starting a business from home is a huge tax benefit. Start a business with a company with a proven track record - almost 50 years - and with superior products that are easy to use and talk about. Join my team and you'll be in business FOR yourself, but never BY yourself.

Work at home - and take time to enjoy your family

My sister-in-law, Molly, is the person who encouraged me to try this MLM business for myself. I'm grateful to her for that.

She's pregnant with her fourth child, and is feeling like she needs to take some time off from her business. The great thing about our network marketing company is that she can do that - and still her business will grow. She loves the products so much that it's not hard for her to keep talking about them, and she has a personal website to which she can direct interested people. Plus, she doesn't have to buy a certain dollar amount each month in order to keep her membership or her business.

Since we're working together, I'm going to take over communicating with her customers regularly via e-mail, and voila! She's able to take of as much time as she needs, without losing her current customer base.

You can enjoy your family and build a business at the same time too - check out this great opporunity here. I'd love for you to join my team.

The great thing about my MLM company

I've been a part of my network marketing company since I was a child. I grew up on it, since my mother was a distributor. Well, technically, but she didn't do anything with it. Why? Because she didn't have the money to invest in handling inventory. She didn't want to take the time to deal with the paperwork, the deliveries - all the behind-the-scenes stuff needed to run a successful company. She loved introducing people to the prodcuts, but that's about as far as it went.

Ten years ago, I would have never considered starting a business with my company for the very same reasons. What a headache! But, today is the perfect day to start a network marketing business.

Why did I start? Of course, I LOVE the products. But, having the internet and computer technology available today, it practically eliminates the behind-the-scenes stuff needed to run a business.

Deliveries? My members order directly from the company through my website, the telephone or me (then I type it into the website). It's delivered right to their door.

Inventory? No way! Same reason.

Plus, do you know how much it took for me to get started? $19.95. No huge, upfront starting costs.

Multi-level Marketing? Network Marketing? What is that?

Why would anyone start a home-based business doing MLM or Network Marketing?

Those were questions I had when I first heard about it. But over time, I’ve realized that MLM is a powerful way to build a business and earn money without a large upfront investment. When I wanted to start a home business, I looked into using my journalism degree. Maybe I could free-lance, or write a column on a subject I’m passionate about, like homeschooling.

I started researching my options, but realized I didn’t have the time, energy or connections I needed to actually get a column published. It was going to be a lot of work, with no guarantee of any income.

Meanwhile, I was taking high-quality, guaranteed multi-vitamins from a well-established MLM company. My sister-in-law decided she wanted to start her own business with this company, so I connected her with my sponsor. Over the course of the next year as she built her business while homeschooling her three children, I realized I could do the same thing.

I love the company I represent. I’ve been using their products practically my entire life. So I knew they worked for me. When my sister-in-law became enamored with this company, I found a new respect for the products they produce. I also realized that many people don’t know about these high-quality products that can make their life better – and they needed to know!

I decided to get into the profession I thought was so horrible. And you know what? It’s not so horrible. It’s actually fun! I love introducing new people to my company and their high-quality products. The great thing is that it has everything you need to keep you and your family healthy – from multi-vitamins for adults, children and infants, herbs and other supplements, to a great skin-care and makeup line. I love the hair loss shampoo and scalp treatment, as well as their weight management program. It’s so easy, and healthy too. It offers superior sports nutrition and I use their non-toxic cleaners and laundry products every day.

The best thing is that while I’m using the products and introducing people to them, I’m earning money too. All while I'm at home with my four children. What could be better?
