Home Based Business

I was speaking with a neighbor the other day. She has been out of work for nearly 8 months and spends most of her week trying to find a job. Her search has gone from looking for that ‘dream job’ to looking for ‘any old job’.

She tells me she spent around 35 hours last week looking for work including the time she spent driving to and from places. That’s a significant chunk of time, I thought to myself. She is spending just about the equivalent of a full time job just looking for a full time job (that may or may not be something she likes). At this point, with job availability being at an all time low, she is most likely to end up with something marginal or else a terrible job that she’ll just end up hating.

I suspect she is typical of people looking for work right now. Looking for scarce jobs takes a lot of time, not to mention effort and energy. What if these people could take that same time and energy and pour it into a home based business? In her case, 35 hours per week would let her build a strong network marketing fairly rapidly. Most people who start a network marketing business only do so part time, but a full time endeavor can bring you a full time income. So if you’re spending 30+ hours per week looking for job, have you thought about putting that effort into a home based business instead? Wouldn’t it be time better spent?
