The Work @ Home Revolution
Join the Crusade
At this time, thousands and thousands of professionals are engaged in this “movement” to work from home. Some are forced to because of downsizing or the necessity to be with their children, but most realize that it’s time to own their piece of the “pie” – and now more than ever, it’s possible…
Oh to work from home, what a thought, would that be nice; where never is echoed a discouraging word, and the sky is not clouded all day! Many people entertain the possibility of starting a new home based business, especially in today’s day and age. In fact, sociologists tell us many people are doing precisely that: returning to the homestead as a primary or secondary source of income.
This is not a surprising phenomenon and is really a sign of the times. In the larger perspective: hostile corporate takeovers, increasing profit margins, downsizing, outsourcing of jobs to multi-nationals and the overall proliferation of technology and the Internet are rapidly eliminating jobs, etc… all play a role in the desire to start a home based business.
This is not to suggest that these are the only reasons for this exodus to domesticity: personal factors also play a significant role in the desire to work from home. The idea of being your own boss and being in control of your own destiny will always be appealing to the more entrepreneurial segment of our society.
The increasingly long commute, corporate disloyalty to employees, mothers and fathers not being able to witness the most significant events in their own children’s lives must also exert a strong pull to the homestead. In my case, my fancy position as Director of Sales for a financial software company came to a screeching halt as the company downsized significantly because of the economic climate. In fact, there are rumors that the company may run the business from a virtual standpoint, meaning no offices, no building…entirely over the Internet.
Yes, the “Work From Home” shift is indeed a sign of the times but in more ways than one. Technology has also made the home based business an increasingly viable alternative. The Industrial Revolution of the late 18th and early 19th century that began in Britain and spread throughout the world, has given way to the Information Technology Revolution. Computers, software, the Internet, cell phones, and Networks are the new tools of the trade for today’s home based worker. With approximately one billion people presently online in 2006 and yet another billion anticipated to be online by 2011, who can reasonably argue that this is not the wave of the future for a significant portion of our working population.
Network Marketing has truly come of age. In fact many companies which buy and sell through a series of networks are publicly traded on the Nasdaq and are listed on The Inc. 500 of fastest growing companies. These are credible, rock-solid companies whose reputation is beyond repute. Want more proof of this growing trend to network marketing? Do a simple search for “home based businesses” online using any major or minor search engine and you will be flooded with pages of information. And the real beauty of an online business is that you don’t have to quit your present job (but why make “them” rich?) in the real world to be a part of it, although many people do precisely that at a certain point.
In any event, more and more people are beginning to realize that the State may not always be there to help them and that there’s nothing wrong with wanting to improve the financial lot of your loved ones. If you’re thinking of getting involved in a home based business, do your research and listen to 15yearsleft.com as Mark Yarnell’s perspective had a great influence on my desire to build an empire – right here – in our spare bedroom. Go for it!
