When people lose their jobs, the last thing they might think of is starting their own business. But starting a network marketing business might be just the ticket. My own business kept our family going when my husband was out of work for 18 months and confirmed for me the power of network marketing. Here are four reasons why you should consider starting a network marketing business if you’re out of work:
1. Hope. The network marketing profession is full of amazing, positive people who are continually improving themselves and helping others achieve their highest potential. When you join a network marketing company, you get inspired to believe in your dreams again. You start reading personal development books and becoming a better person. You begin to focus on helping others, rather than yourself. And all of that gives you HOPE, which is one thing you need a lot of if you’re in the midst of dealing with a job loss.
2. Activity. One of the hardest parts about losing your livelihood is losing the daily activities that went along with it! While you continue your job search, why not put effort into building a business, instead of wasting your time watching TV or surfing the net? Keeping focused on being productive will help you to maintain a positive attitude–and make money!
3. Income. While companies that promise a ‘get rich quick’ deal are probably too good to be true, it is possible to make a few hundred dollars a week when you start out with a network marketing company–if you’re giving it a full time effort. You may not be able to replace your income, but at least you’ll have money coming in–and it’s money that depends on your efforts, not on whether or not someone else chooses to hire you. Instead of worrying about money, you’ll be creating income for yourself.
4. Residuals. Whether you find a new job within a few weeks or a few months, the customers and distributors you’ve brought into your business will continue to use your products/services, creating a continuing stream of residual income. Who can’t use a few extra dollars every month? And, who knows? Maybe you’ll love your company so much that you’ll continue to work your business and create financial freedom for you and your family!
There are so many wonderful companies that have great products and services, and the low start up cost makes network marketing an ideal opportunity for many people. As long as you choose a solid, reputable company and make a decision to stick with it, no matter, what, you’ll find yourself asking yourself why you didn’t try this earlier! 🙂
