A recent Gallup poll indicates 61 percent of Americans have a preference to be their own bosses. We want to work less, get paid more and have time freedom. We want to spend more time with our families and not have a caretaker raise our kids.

Many people are leaving the corporate world as they are tired of traffic, increasing job demands, meager pay raises, longer hours, and controlling bosses.

Today, most people who work for someone else are living paycheck to paycheck. They have no extra money to invest for their future, and most are in debt. They are all trading time for money, which means when their job is lost their income stops. Their income is based all on their own efforts so in order to earn more you typically have to work even more hours.

Distinguished economist and best-selling author Paul Zane Pilzer sees direct selling as the foundation for America's next big boom.

Network Marketing, also known as Multilevel, referral marketing or direct selling has become a viable alternative to traditional careers. For people thinking of starting their own business I am a big fan of Network Marketing home based businesses.

Network Marketing is a business which offers us a way to earn residual income which continues to come long after we've built up our business. Your income is earned both from your own efforts and from the efforts of others that you have introduced to the business. This is utilizing leverage which dramatically increases your earning potential and offers you time freedom.

Joining a Network Marketing business offers you very low risk as you do not need any employees, they have a very minimal cost to get started, and they require no prior special training or education. This is a home based business which allows you to receive many tax write offs that you can not receive working for someone else.

Success in Network Marketing does not require you to have a background in sales, or even a sales personality.

When you have true passion for a product/service your enthusiasm naturally shines thru and is contagious. This also makes communicating that information to others a whole lot more fun. How many times have you recommended a great restaurant, or even a product you like to someone else? Most people are already doing this all the time; they just are not getting compensated for it. People like and trust word-of-mouth recommendations.

Most Network Marketing companies already have a viable product or service. Your job is to find one of these companies with a product/service that is unique that you can have a true passion for. Having a product that is unique automatically separates you from the crowd. If you're offering something that another 100 other companies also offer, you will need outstanding skills to rise to the top.

Today with technological tools like computers, e-mail, and the Internet, the whole world becomes accessible from our own home. Most Network Marketing companies have online tools, websites, and systems to assist you in sharing your product or service to everyone. So, by having access to these tools you don't even need to understand all the details of your business to start making money. These same technologies are perfect for training purposes as well - both yours and your team's.

An increasing number of people are recognizing that to control their financial futures, they can't accomplish that by working for someone else. The most effective way to do that is to have your own business. The perfect opportunity to do that is to become a part of a Network Marketing company. That's because rather than starting from scratch these companies already have products/services, tools and systems in place - a huge advantage.
