Start Your Own Home Business...In No Time Fast, Simple, Easy

Introduction: Start Your Own Home Business In No Time Start Your Own Home Business In No Time Welcome to a Better Way of Living and Working! That claim sounds fishy, doesn't it? Yet the facts backing up that claim are all around us. Starting your own home business is one of the best ways to balance your checkbook and your life simultaneously. Have you ever noticed Most people on lists of the wealthiest individuals made money through self-employment? Thanks to technology, fewer and fewer jobs need to be performed at a single, central location (usually an expensive, dreary office)? Employers often think of their employees as commodities, rather than people? There has never been a better time to start a home business. If you are reading this book, you might have noticed that many people are aware of this trend and are wildly writing about home business opportunities. This book is different. Instead of writing about home business, this book shows you (yes, you) how to start and operate one. Instead of insisting that a specific type of business is "perfect" for you, it acknowledges that you know--better than anyone--the business you are best suited to own and operate. Instead of worrying about degrees or pedigrees, this book focuses on the tools you need to give your business the best chance of success. Instead of dwelling on shortcomings (which we all have), this book will start with the assets you have--then help you develop the resources you need. Instead of theories and dry citations, this book provides you with reality-based exercises and guidance. This book speaks to you for who you are: a future home business owner; an intelligent adult; an employee whose humanity, intelligence, and abilities are routinely overlooked; a person who wants a life in which he enjoys his work--but also wants to knock off at 3 p.m., once in awhile, to catch his kid's soccer game. By the end of this book, you will know what you need to do in order to Own a fully operating home business. Use a workable business plan, a realistic budget, and a sound marketing plan. Live a life that not only reflects whatyou want to be doing, but howyou want to do it. Who Should Read This Book If you are ready to start your own home business, this is the book for you.

Because this book covers most of the decisions and dilemmas home business owners face, you will have a realistic picture of what owning your home business will be like. And as you will read in Chapter 1, "Exposing Myths of Self-Employment," many of us make such decisions based on myth, not fact. Gird yourself with the facts, and a more realistic picture of what owning a home business will be like, by reading this book. That one act will make your decision as well-informed as possible. If you want to start a business, but aren't sure whether to base it at home, read this book.
