The lure of quick easy money can it really be achieved

A common theme in the many get-rich-quick home business offerings that are currently available is the emphasis on the lack of effort required to make a substantial income. I am a corporate computer guy. As such, by nature I tend to attempt to apply logic to most things. It absolutely astounds me that people believe that they can work from home and type a few things on their computer each day and then the money will just come flowing in. The promoters claims are that all the hard work has been done for you and everything is automated and simple. All you have to do is PAY to have access to these incredible money making systems. Reverse Funnel System, Road Map to Riches, Passport to Wealth, blah, blah, blah. I say, poppycock & bunkum! Now that said, it would be logical to conclude that indeed, significant money CAN be made with a home based internet business. After all, like millions, I myself do an amazing amount of consumer product shopping online. Someone is making money from marketing to the masses! But I don't believe that the "significant money" can typically be made in the no effort, get-rich-quick manner. Any degree of success WILL take education, direction and qualified mentoring along with a significant effort in the application of what you have been taught. Most work from home internet businesses fail primarily because the objective is to market and sell and the business owner is clueless about even the basic fundamentals required to do that effectively and successfully. There is a LOT more to internet marketing than posting as many classified's as possible and spam eMailing. Now, paying to be EDUCATED is an entirely different prospect to that of paying for a proclaimed money making system which if it fails you have no remedial options to explore because you are not equipped. More of my logic - if something - anything - is not working it must be changed. To make change you must, ideally, have a repertoire of alternative approaches and be skilled in deciding which to deploy dependent upon circumstances. Now why would one think that the same disciplines do not apply to a home based internet business?. Because of the luring advertised guarantee/promise of success? I work from home already in my corporate job but with the current economic climate I decided to explore additional feasible work at home income streams. I was taken aback by the sheer volume of offerings and researching as many as possible continues to be a daunting task. Many that I encounter I immediately discard and those that capture my eye often get defeated by my ingrained skepticism. Searching on keywords "HOME BUSINESS SCAM" and "business name SCAM" assists with discrediting/eliminating process. My search continued in a tenacious manner until I stumbled across the Wealth Funnel System. My first impression was another pay to get-rich-quick promise. But digging deeper, it became apparent that this was different from the masses. The emphasis was on equipping yourself with education that could and should be used in ANY internet business venture. The founder has painstakingly compiled a full suite of tutorials that cover a variety of facets of the internet marketing business, from industry terms to resources to application. THIS would be my repertoire of alternative approaches, I thought. It is sourced by a seasoned professional and in my opinion is the true value of the inevitable business investment. I can exploit the provided income streams and with confidence pursue others independently to grow my business. Somewhat like those that have been to college and pursued marketing as a career... Despite my natural tendency to apply logic , I am also a huge advocate of the old saying "Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained". At minimum I have the resources to learn how to start, manage and grow my business. Also, what is fulfilling is my Wealth Funnel System mentor has NEVER failed to respond to any contact I have initiated. Most of the time the phone is answered on the first attempt.

Home based business why starting part time is the smart way to success

With the development of various technologies and with low start up costs it has become much easier today for Entrepreneurs to start a Home Based Business. It is estimated that in USA alone there are over 40 million Home Based Businesses. Home Based Businesses represent 63% of all Small Businesses. Furthermore over 75% of these businesses are operated on a part-time basis. Some of the reasons generally attributed for starting a Home Based Business are; the fulfillment of a dream, the necessity for an additional income or to have a back up income in the event of losing the present secure job. A reason that is more universal is that most people love to own and run a Home Based Business and would like to experience the thrill and excitement of operating a business from home either full-time or part-time. The majority of those who come under the last category are often under the misconception that it needs very little effort to operate a business from home. If you have an idea of starting a Home Based Business it is advisable that you should start by running it on a part-time basis while continuing to work on your full-time job. There are several very compelling reasons for adopting this part-time business strategy. I shall enumerate the most important ones below. 1. In spite of your enthusiasm and determination to succeed in your Home Based Business, your attempt could end up in failure for various reasons. In such an event you could always fall back on your full-time job. Talking about failure can be disconcerting to some but you have to be prepared for any eventuality. 2. By starting as a part-time business, your investment both in finance and time will naturally be small thus minimizing the risk involved. 3. While in the process of establishing your Home Based Business, you still have to settle your monthly bills. It is the full-time job that can help you tide over this situation especially during the early months of your part-time business. If you start making profits early in your business then build up a reserve fund to start your full-time home based business. 4. The very thought of your having a regular full-time job with a steady income will give you the confidence to take a reasonable amount of risk in your part-time home based business. This will not be possible otherwise. 5. The presence of a full-time job means that you will not be under excess pressure to perform in your pat-time business for your survival. You can learn business skills, acquire business knowledge and grow gradually at your own pace. 6. By holding on to your full-time job you can continue to enjoy the benefits of health insurance, leave and other benefits till you establish yourself in your part-time business. 7. In the event of sustaining loses in your business during the first year or two; these could be written off when submitting your tax returns. 8. It is much easier to obtain bank loans, credit card facilities and other financial benefits for your business while you are in employment. Why not take advantage of this and grow your home based business while you are in employment. 9. If your intention is to become a home based business entrepreneur one day, then make use of your full-time job and lay the foundation for your home based business by making the necessary contacts with people who could be useful to your future business and could also end up as customers. You should of course ensure that your actions do not come in conflict with the Management policies of your employer. 10. Quitting your full-time job one day and starting a full-time home based business the following day could end up in chaos and disaster unless you have very strong support from experienced entrepreneurs. On the other hand if done gradually transition from full time job to full time home based business becomes much easier. Having said the above, it has to be mentioned that there are ofcource certain disadvantages in the method indicated. Doing a full-time job and running a part-time home based business can be strenuous and you can experience burnout and consequently neglect either you business, job or even both. Excessive indulgence in your part-time business can eventually lead to under performing in your full-time job, thereby creating problems with your Boss or Employer. You will have to sacrifice much of your precious family time for the sake of your home based business. Success in your home based business or for that matter in any business does not come easily. It requires hard work, sacrifice, dedication and determination. Above all you have to be passionate about what you are doing. Many great businesses have grown from small beginnings including the Giant Amazon. Start sowing the seeds of your home based business while you are in employment, watch it germinate, look after it with tender care, be passionate about it and watch it bearing the fruits of your labor. Enjoy the fruits of your labor and when the time is ripe, quit your full time job. That’s it, keep growing and establish yourself as a successful home based business entrepreneur. This then is the Smart way to Success. Copyright © 2005 Kanaga Siva.

Super success with a home business

I’m rethinking my position on home businesses. I still think selling nick-knacks is insane and has probably been induced by a combination of lost personal dreams and confidence and also a thuggish predatory distributor that feels no shame in misleading others for the benefits of their own ends. On the other hand, I think having a store that sold knick-knacks would probably be just as depressing. But, back to the more positive side of this story. I’m thinking a home business might be the way to go. Don’t get me wrong, I think that Dr. Laura is so laughably ridiculous that I need not bother pointing out her nonsense (she does a good enough of a job of that). I do think, however, that perhaps the blind pursuit of corporate success has brought unintended diminutions to our sense of camaraderie and community; within our families and the greater population. Maybe, taking a step back, moving at a schedule that is set by your priorities other than a human resources administrator could potentially get us back to putting humanity in a position of value. Challenge yourself mentally. Find feelings of accomplishment through work. Earn money that you can use to take care of your family. Do all of these things, but allow them to be part of a balance in your live where personal values and others are the priority. And you, you need to be the priority also. Your home business needs to be working for you and not the other way around. Finding success in your home business needs to also be done by having the business actually be something that interests you. Not, just some product that is sold as your financial freedom by some unaccountable internet site. I often think about some of the problems that arise from the excessive demands of corporate agendas. It just might be possible that finding satisfying work in one’s home business can be the missing link to reintegrating happiness in all the aspects of our lives.

In your salary remember to add enough to cover the hours of un billable time you spend marketing and administering. Overhead are the general costs of doing business, like: office supplies, software, equipment, utilities, administrative costs, advertising and marketing expenses.
