Find A Fix for 2006
If you work outside the home (making someone else lots of
money), you might want to consider creating and implementing
your own Plan B. Here's my suggestion...
Start your own business working at home, on the internet and/or
direct marketing.
What are you thinking? The $3 gallon gas burden of 2005 should
have made you stop and think things over. Not only are you
building someone else's bankroll but you very likely got deeper
in debt on your credit card to buy the gas to get back and forth
to do it, for heaven's sake! How's that working for you?
Plus, due to new federal regulations, you can plan to take more
out of your paycheck to make your minimum monthly payment on
that debt. Ouch! Debt hurts. I know - been there, done that,
just couldn't afford the t-shirt.
It's Simple Honestly, setting up an online business is simpler
now than ever before. There are all kinds of affiliate programs
available where you can sign up and promote for free. Yes, you
read it right.
There are programs available to help you straight away from
building your website to helping you drive traffic to it.
You can hook up with companies that will give you a website to
help promote your business. There are hosting programs that do
way more than just host your website. For a reasonable monthly
fee, they offer autoresponders, several email accounts, site
builder tools, ad tracking, and many more features.
Notice I said SIMPLER, not necessarily EASY Anything worth
having is worth working for. A home business must be taken
seriously. After all, you are the BUSINESS OWNER. It is your
business and should be given the respect it deserves.
If you want results and love what you do, it will be easy for
you to remain dedicated. Your determination will not waiver. You
will discover new ideas every day.
Be cautious of the idea treadmill Don't become overwhelmed by
everything out there. It can eat up your time and fill up your
brain to a point of wanting to walk away from it all. (Been
there, done that, working on t-shirt logo.)
Bottom line... Creating your own business is very satisfying. It
is also necessary for your future. You may (or may not) feel
secure in your current position with 'XYZ' company but you must
realize by now there really is no true financial security
working for someone else.
You can discover that building your financial security through
your Plan B is the answer. This will only happen with owning
your own business and creating multiple streams of income,
including passive and residual.
