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.
