Salute to Small Business!

Sometimes you wonder if you are ready to make the break. Sometimes you want to continue studying and thinking and researching the businesses so that you can make a decision on the "right one". However, sometimes this leads to something called "paralysis by analysis"... you spend so much time trying to *figure out* all the different aspects of a particular business that you don't get around to DOING IT! That's like reading all the books on bouyancy and hydrodynamics and swimming in particular without ever getting in the water yourself. Sometimes the BEST way to learn to swim is to just get in the darn water! Of course, it helps if you have a *mentor* -- someone who can come up alongside you and help you with the "fine-tuning" or over the rough spots. In many businesses, this is called the "internship" or "apprenticeship". The only problem with this paradigm is that nowadays many businesses don't want an intern or apprentice who is too smart...because that intern/apprentice may later just quit and start a competing business with all that new knowledge. It's a cut-throat world out there in the business arena. (Why do you think they call it a "Business *ARENA*"?)

A good way to start a business is to get into one of the *many* multi-level-marketing businesses out there (or what is called a network marketing business). These usually have a low start-up cost and a product that is so good that you yourself like to use it. And the way you market this great product or service is through using it and folks notice the difference in your appearance, your attitude, or health... and when *they* ask about what you are doing, that gives you the chance to tell them-- and you offer them either the opportunity to do what you are doing or the opportunity to get the great product. That's really all there is to ANY MLM or network marketing company.

So... you have a *LOW* initial investment of cash and time with a *HIGH* return on investment (ROI). And, because nowadays most folks order their stuff through their own computers and it's delivered straight to them. You don't have to be running around town with your car loaded with stuff and chasing them down. You are BUYING YOUR TIME BACK. You are GAINING FREEDOM!

And does it matter *which* MLM? Not much. More in the next few paragraphs...
