Home Business Models and Listening to the Plumber…
Okay, so you’ve decided to have or start a work form home business. This decision needs to include the ‘core reason why’ you want to do this as well as determining which fields, products, or services you can be passionate about.
This is post will discuss the next most important decision that needs to be made. This decision involves choosing the business model which matches your desired end result.
Example: IF your primary reason for starting a business at home is because you wish to spend more time with your children; then starting a business from scratch may not make much sense.
That’s because it typically takes an enormous amount of time to develop a product, prepare it for market, set up and implement a marketing campaign, and handle the shipping and receiving, etc.
Naturally, during this process you will not be earning any income and in fact will likely be spending quite a bit of money. With significant money being spent and no money coming in, you will in all likelihood be working long hours to reverse that situation.
The end result is that the ’start from scratch’ business model you have chosen has not brought it closer to your primary goal - which was for more free time with the kids.
You could choose to buy a Franchise. It’s also an expensive proposition, and because of that, a serious time commitment. Once again our goal of ‘more time’ alludes us.
In this circumstance, choosing a network marketing business model makes much more sense because almost all factors noted above have already been handled.
In addition; since it takes such little money to start a network marketing business at home, you can likely afford to spend quality time with your children. This business model also offers tremendous flexibility regarding the number of hours you work and what hours of the day you do your work.
Gee, it’s looking like I’m a little prejudiced here…
Yes, and for good reason. I’ve already gone the ‘employee’ route and also owned a ‘traditional business’, and in both cases I was still a slave. In our network marketing business I have all the upside potential (actually more) – and none of the downside of a traditional business.
No employees, no inventory, no rent, no business insurance, or any other the other twenty one expenses associated with running a traditional business.
I do get incredible tax benefits, great flexibility with my time and work schedule, my business can be relocated instantly, I can build a re-occurring passive income over time - hey I could go on for awhile here.
Sure, I still run into uneducated people who aren’t smart enough to learn about the networking industry and want to bash it. I can laugh at their remarks because I know these are the type of people who also listen to their neighbor’s advice on which stocks to invest in. The problem is their neighbor is a plumber and NOT a investing professional…
I mean , shouldn’t we talk to someone who actually knows that profession before making up our minds? It makes sense to me.
And you?
