Many people who are interested in starting an online business assume that because the country is in a major recession right now, this is not the time; however, I ask you to consider the facts.

1. For most of the important decisions in life (e.g., getting married, having a child, starting a business), there is never the “right time,” there is only today, only now.

2. To become wealthy, you really need to own your own business (93% of the already wealthy do).

3. In 2006, Fortune magazine called direct selling, including network marketing, “the best kept secret in the business world” with a 91% growth over the previous 10 years and a market of $30 billion in the United States and $100 billion worldwide. By 2012, that number will likely reach $326 billion.

4. Financial experts call network marketing a “recession proof” industry.

5. Warren Buffet called his purchase of a network marketing company the best investment he’d ever made.

6. Tom Peters, author of In Search of Excellence, called it the first truly revolutionary marketing shift in the past 50 years.

7. Internet marketing businesses aren’t as impacted by the usual commuter costs (gas and parking) and childcare expenses.

8. Owning an online business provides a number of tax advantages.

9. You, too, can become successful with an online business as long as you have basic language skills, and the ability to point, click and follow directions.

10. When you have your own online business, you are in control of your financial future – not some “boss” you must impress or hope is not putting your name on the next list of job cuts! There’s the potential to make a lot of money.

Regardless of the recession, business continues – hundreds of thousands of businesses will launch within the next 12 months. Wouldn’t you like to join them? Aren’t you ready to leave the 9-5 rat race behind you?

Carpe Diem! Don’t waste any time, seize the day! Today is the day to start an online business .
