I am often asked WHY would anyone want to be in a Home Based Direct Sales Business in this economy. I think David Bach, in his book, "Start Late Finish Rich" best describes the reasons. I have paraphrased them for you here.http://www.amazon.com/Start-Late-Finish-Rich-Achieving/dp/0767919475/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1234883944&sr=1-1
1. The Moment you join- you are in business and can make money
2. You don;t have to re-invent the wheel- everything is in place for you to be successful
3. You don't have to do it all by yourself
4. You will be forced to "stretch" yourself and think like the multiple 6 and 7 figure income earners
5. You will find mentors and experts to help you
6. There is passive and residual income in many cases
7. You will find a new circle of friends who will help you grow and be a stand for you
8. You never have to retire
9. You will get to help others
10. You can make your own hours
11. There are tax incentives that are not relevant to traditional business
12. It is less expensive to start and maintain than traditional businesses
13. It can be a family business with a spouse or adult children- you can leave a legacy!
So if that's not enough- I will add my two cents- you VERY OFTEN EARN MORE THAN IN A JOB OR TRADITIONAL BRICK AND AR BUSINESS.
It IS WORK and there are investment and costs to maintain your business, but at a fraction of the price you pay for your time and costs of other businesses!
Take a look! It could be for YOU! After all- What will be different tomorrow? You can get started in a direct sale company very often for less than your monthly car payment!
Til next time!
Have an incredible day!

Are You a Cow or a Rhino?
I've been studying some successful giants in the direct sales industry and found out that there are really only two kinds of people Cows and Rhinos- and two types of each.
Happy Rhinos have visions for success and their future and want to bring others along for the ride- we will get to them in a moment.
I want to first talk about Sad Rhinos because this used to be me- - They are usually very successful,but they are workaholics and therefore, miserable and tend to make everyone around them miserable. They yell a lot, are stressed and they the world will end if they don't succeed and when they don't succeed, they blame others for not succeeding. They also tend to die younger from the enormous amount of pressure they place on themselves and have stress-related health issues. If you are a sad Rhino- there is loads of good news- read on but first let's discuss the Happy Rhino- just as driven as they sad Rhino, but they enjoy every moment of life. They know that success is within reach and they LOVE THE HUNT! They will always succeed because they enjoy the hunt- it isn't even about the MONEY- It is about results and empowerment. They enjoy helping others succeed as well and give others more than their fair share of chances. So Sad Rhinos if you want to be a Happy Rhino-SURROUND YOURSELF with other happy successful Rhinos. A Happy Rhino LEADS BY EXAMPLE and if they fall, they get right back up because they have thick skin and never loose sight of their purpose, visions and goals.If you want to be happy in the direct sales Home Business- do what other Happy Rhinos do.
Now for the Happy Cows- There is nothing wrong with a happy cow- Not everyone wants to be a Rhino. Happy Cows won't work for sad Rhinos for too long because they want a little less than the Sad Rhinos and want to enjoy life more.
And Sad Cows- well- You sit around chewing your cud. Not a day goes by where you aren't complaining and whining about something. You call Happy Rhinos and Sad Rhinos for that matter- LUCKY! You then go right back to grazing and doing nothing to CHANGE YOUR LIFE. Well- my advise to you is to stop blaming others for your own CHOICES- yes YOU. Start looking at yourself and listing all of the times you complain and turn it around with a positive. Like oh I am so tired CHANGE TO- Oh I am so lucky to wake up in a bed!
I hope this opens a whole new discussion and allows you to see the POSSIBILITIES rather than the PROBABILITIES in YOUR Life!
