In the last twenty years, a growing segment of the population
is calling it quits in 'Corporate America' and refocusing their energies
into some type of work from home. Though reasons for this trend are many
and varied, there appears to be numerous common elements underlying the
corporate worker's attraction to work from home. Corporations, in the face
of increased competition from abroad, routinely exercise layoffs in an
attempt to remain competitive in today's global economic marketplace.
Just as the baby boomer generation had infiltrated the
job market beginning in the mid-1960's, it appears that they are starting
to leave the job market as they begin to move into their retirement years.
Unlike prior generations, however, in which the work force was able to
support retirees with programs like social security, those retiring in
the next decade or so, are facing the very real possibility, if not probability,
that the social security system will weaken, if not collapse altogether
by the sheer numbers of people it will need to support. Coupled with the
fact that medical advances are allowing us to live longer, the situation
poses some particularly difficult choices for many of us. Even if we sensed
adequate security in our present positions to make it to retirement, what
then? If we haven't saved sufficient money to meet our financial needs
for what could amount to 20 and more years following retirement, many of
us will have little choice but to find some way of supplementing our incomes
to maintain some acceptable standard of living. This realization underlies
much of the growing interest in working from home.
When we study the success rates of all work from home
opportunities, we find nearly 90% of these businesses still operating after
one year, and over 70% still in operation after 3 years. These are amazing
numbers, when compared to success rates of small business startups historically.
The vast majority of us remain in our corporate jobs because we have been
brought up believing that this was our only option for supporting our families.
We cling to our corporate jobs, somehow believing that we have security
when the facts clearly indicate that we don't. We struggle to get ahead
financially, yet the facts show that few are making any serious dent on
what is too often, a growing indebtedness. We try to convince ourselves
that if we can just hold on for another 10 or 15 years, we can retire in
comfort. But the facts are that even if we can hold on, we'll more likely
be forced to lower our standard of living. Without some means to produce
significant incomes above and beyond our pensions, we can all but forget
the American Dream of retiring to a life of comfort and financial security.
But now the real question - what kind of work from home
might offer an extremely high income potential, and allow one to continue
earning a progressively increasing income month after month, year after
year, without working more and more hours?
Every so often, perhaps every 15-20 years or so, such
a business opportunity does comes along, offering incredible earning potential
far exceeding all others. Those with the vision to recognize such an opportunity
and seize it, typically amass significant fortunes. One such work from
home business has emerged and promises to be one of the most profitable
business opportunities ever. Requiring only a modest monthly investment,
this new business opportunity will literally produce hundreds, if not thousands,
of millionaires in just the next five years. This business opportunity
is ideal, requiring a reasonable, but not excessive, amount of time and
effort to succeed.
