Does that sound familiar to</font></font> <font FACE="Arial">you? The tell-tale signs of burn-out are taking extended lunches, clocking in five minutes late, leaving five minutes early -- and a notable lack of</font> <font FACE="Arial"><font size="2">work satisfaction. When you begin to show all these signs, it's time to start looking for a change. The BIG problem comes in that you have a mortgage or rent, credit card bills, and other pressing financial obligations to pay -- plus a family to house, feed and clothe -- and you have a decent lifestyle you'd like to achieve or maintain -- or even improve a bit, if only you could! (NOTE: I'm not talking about having huge mansions, buying exotic sports cars and taking extended vacations in exotic, wonderful places here... just having a decent life, in a nice home, with enough money to pay all the bills, and some "quality time" left-over to spend with your loved ones... and no worries about where the next dollar is coming from -- or going to!)</font></p> <p><font size="2">This is where so many people get stuck in their daily work-a-day, paycheck-to-paycheck routine -- never seeming able to break out of that never-ending rut -- and remaining desperate for a solution to their money-worries, and sometimes great financial dilemma...</font></p> <p><font size="2">Well... we do have an answer for you...</font></p> <p><font size="2">Self-employment IS the answer many folks today seek -- yet seem unable to find for themselves. Starting and operating a micro-sized home-based business is a fantastic way to make those needed changes in your life -- and improve your income. Self-employment in the typical home-based business offers a world of opportunity to anyone who is willing to work hard -- and to put in extra time building a solid business they can call their own.</font></p> <p><font size="2">One feature of the home-based business is that it is traditionally far less expensive to start than setting up a regular "Bricks n' Mortar" business in your home town. You are able to work from your own home -- with the 'tools' you'll need, and in a workspace you probably already have, or can get cheaply enough. (WE detail exactly how to set all of this up</font></font> <font FACE="Arial"><font size="2">for yourself in our master home-business start-up manual.) The home-based business start-up costs are usually minimal -- and -- the rewards can be literally limitless!</font></p> <p><font size="2">So... how would <b>YOU</b> like to earn extra money by starting a profitable home-based business for yourself? </font></font> <font FACE="Arial"><font size="2">Most folks choose to work from home for many reasons:</font></p> <blockquote> <blockquote> <ul> <li> <p style="line-height: 150%"><font size="2"><b>Including the desire to stay home with their kids</b></font></li> <li> <p style="line-height: 150%"><font size="2"><b>the need for extra income, or...</b></font></li> <li> <p style="line-height: 150%"><font size="2"><b>they are simply fed-up with their current job.</b></font></li> </ul> </blockquote> </blockquote> <p><font size="2">Self-employment in a home-based business will provide you with a relatively simple and exciting way to earn more money... and there are very many additional income opportunities of all sorts available to home-based business owners, once they are established.</font></p> <p><font size="2">When starting your own home-based business, you should begin by developing a detailed business plan -- and research ALL of your options thoroughly.</font></p> <p><font size="2">(We show you exactly how to do all of this, step-by-step, in our micro-business start-up and operations manuals.) Making wise decisions and following your business plan each step of the way can help you create a reliable, steady stream of additional income.</font></p> <p><font size="2">In all honesty -- please do be aware -- operating a home-based business will require a goodly amount work and effort from you -- especially at the start... and... you will not become wealthy over night! That's simply NOT possible, no matter what anyone tells you to the contrary! There is NO magic bullet or "special secret" -- It will, however, take a bit of hard work and lots of grit and determination to assure your own success.</font></p> <p><font size="2">When you're creating your business plan, be sure to include both your short and long term goals. Determine exactly how you will achieve those goals -- and then -- put your plan into action! (We have an entire chapter dedicated just to goal-setting AND goal-getting in our master micro-business manual!)</font></p> <p><font size="2">Our <b>Micro-Business Plans and Manuals </b>are excellent home-based business booklets, manuals -- and entire step-by-step programs -- that</font></font> <font FACE="Arial"><font size="2">nearly anyone with enough grit and determination can succeed with -- and -- we also offer numerous other home-based business ideas and opportunities (at little or no cost!) that WILL help YOU create new or additional income streams -- if you are willing to make the effort needed to succeed. (Our business plans and manuals detail every factor you'll need to know BEFORE you start your business... and... unlike almost all other "business opportunity" resources -- aka: Biz-Guru's and "opportunities" you'll find -- we are easily reached and available for any questions you might have as you start your self-employment journey in a micro-sized, self-employed, home-based business of your own.)</font></p> <p><font size="2"><b>Important note</b>: Some home-based product-based sales businesses may require some initial investment in tools, equipment, business materials, trade-goods and other supporting materials -- while others, mainly service-type businesses, can be nearly free to start and operate for as long as you care to be IN your own business!</font></p> <p><font size="2">However... no matter what...You MUST research all home-based business opportunities you're offered (anywhere and everywhere!) carefully to make sure that you understand exactly what will be required from you to start and operate a home-based business in terms of: </font></p> <blockquote> <blockquote> <p><font size="2"><b>1. The total start-up costs, fees, terms, and conditions of acquiring and being in that business. </b></font></p> <p><font size="2"><b>2. Knowledge, background, and experience necessary for success. </b></font></p> <p><font size="2"><b>3. The ease of operations and amount of time and effort required. </b></font></p> <p><font size="2"><b>4. Full disclosure of what other materials and "hidden costs" are required. </b></font></p> <p><font size="2"><b>5. All outright, up-front capital investment needed. </b></font></p> <p><font size="2"><b>6. The realistic returns/profitability potential.</b></font></p> </blockquote> </blockquote> <p><font size="2">While this short list is not as fully-comprehensive as it might be due to space limitations, it is a starting point for your research and</font></font> <font size="2">consideration. (Additional details for each business type may be found in all of our business-specific start-up manuals.) </font></p> <p><font FACE="Arial"><font size="2">As a new home-based business owner, you will have to distinguish yourself from the competition -- if you want to succeed. Don't let self-doubt or other vague, self-defeating concerns stop you from accomplishing your goals, though. Every successful home-based business owner gives their business the very best effort possible. Some hard work -- and highly-focused determination at the beginning will make your home-based business an eventual success -- and provide you with a steady stream of reliable income, that with some time, focus, and dedication, can become a full-time career -- and be very profitable, indeed.</font></p> <p><font size="2">Starting a home-based business is one of the most exciting and satisfying choices you will ever make ... if you have the grit and determination to succeed, despite all of the obstacles and challenges you may encounter along the way. It won't be all that easy, but it is very do-able - and I'm certain you can make a home-based business work well for you, too!</font></p> <p><font size="2">Here is to YOUR success... should you decide to accept the challenge!</font></p> <p><font size="2">Have a GREAT DAY!</font></p> <p><em><font size="6" color="#0000B9">Nick Snyder, Sr.</font></em> (AKA: <a href="mailto:ecnmanager@charter.net" target="_top"><strong>Old Nikko</strong></a>)<br> <br> <b>General Manager & Owner<br> The Entrepreneur Community Network™<br> How-To Lyceum • The ECN Institute • The ECN University</b> <hr align="left" width="65%" size="1"> <p><em><font size="3" color="#C49431"><b>"We are dream-enablers....<br> not dream merchants nor dream stealers....<br> helping the dreamers achieve their dreams."</b></font></em></p> <hr align="left" width="65%" size="1"> <p><font size="2"><b>* A Micro-Business is defined as one employing less than 5 people and having annual revenues of less than US $1 million.</b></font></p> <p align="center"><img border="0" src="images/greatnesssmo.jpg" width="458" height="309"></p> <hr> </font> <DIV align=center> <p align="left"><font face="Arial" size="1" color="#000000">As a Philanthropist, I am dedicated to Sharing the Wealth of Knowledge and Experience of over 50 Years of my Business and Personal Success and Giving Back to My People with Love what My People have given to Me with Love... and all of you are "My People."
