Are you getting a little nervous? Maybe a lot nervous. Seems that every time you turn on the radio, TV or check the news on the computer there’s a new addition to the economic crisis.

Talk of lay-offs, downsizing and rising unemployment has created the perfect storm for home based business owners. Now, more than ever, is the time for you to create your own “Economic Stimulous Package” to protect you and your family from this crazy economy.

Now is the best time to take control of your financial future by either starting your own home based business or really working your business if you’re already involved in one. Because frankly, if you’re waiting for for some kind of miraculous bailout, it will be a long time coming.

Here are some things that make now the perfect time to venture into a home based business of your own:

Baby boomers are coming of age, retirement age that is. And those who aren’t quite there yet are sure thinking about it. If you have a 401K or IRA, have you looked at it lately? If yours is like mine,it ain’t pretty.Wall Street’s little dance the last few months has lots of folks wondering if they can retire when they’d planed, if at all. A very large segment of the population have not prepared for their “golden years” believing Social Security will keep them all warm and toasty after they retire. Those folks will need the funds to keep them comfortable without having to flip burgers at the local fast food joint. You can show them a better way.

Its Time For A Change

These are the twenty and thirty somethings that have become dissatisfied with working a regular J-O-B because they know there’s more to life than showing up to work on time and putting in their eight hours at something that’s not fulfilling for them. These folks watched their parents work long and hard at stressful jobs. They realize there’s more to life than just work and they want to make a contribution that’s meaningful (and make a good living at the same time). They’re tech savvy, smart and can make things happen.

People are worried about the economy and you can offer them hope. By starting your own home based business in direct sales or network marketing you can offer a solution to those wondering if they’re even going to have a job in the near future. Look at all the real estate agents, mortgage loan officers and construction workers that have been effected by the housing slump (myself included). Now you can show all those folks how to supplement or even replace their decreased paycheck.

The cost of starting your own home based business is only a fraction of what starting a traditional brick and mortar business would be. Where else but a home based business can you make such a small investment (usually anywhere from $50 to around $1000) and have the potential to make a six figure residual income? Is it work? Yes. Will it take effort and commitment? Yes. Will it happen overnight? No, but nothing that’s worthwhile and lasting ever is.

What I can tell you is this,you can take charge of how you’re making money. You can flourish in this economy amid all the doom and gloom. You can be free to spend time with your family, take that dream vacation and have that beautiful home you’ve always wanted. The sky is only falling for those chicken littles that aren’t willing to take a chance on themselves. Create your own “Economic Stimulous Package” with your own home based business starting today.
