If you would have asked me this question two years ago I may not have answered “yes”. We romanticize about being our own boss, taking vacations in the Bahamas, driving our favorite car and more, but often times we just shake our head and wake up from our dream and go to work.
About a year ago that changed for me. Times are different than they used to be. Retirement for most is a pipe dream and a scary scenario at best. In the professional world that I live in I see disaster waiting to happen for most. Sure, they make decent money at their job but guess what, there is no way they can save enough money to retire on. If you had no other income to fall back on and had to live on your “savings”, can you put away an extra $3000.00 _ $5000.00 per month for 20 years? (considering you will need 20 years worth of income to retire 65 to 85 years old). Recent statistics say that Social Security will evaporate by 2037. Real Estate and the Stock Market have recently destroyed many retirement plans.
So what do you invest in to change this gloomy picture? You invest in yourself! The one thing that you CAN control. By starting a Home Based Business you can begin to develop a second income on your terms and your time. Things generally start slow (if it is a “get rich quick” plan my advice is to run). Business takes time to develop, but ask yourself this…If I invest good honest effort for the next 2-3 years what would I expect to have built? How about in 5-8 years? Most can see themselves having options at this point and that is what will change our future.
My family has adopted FHTM as our business partner primarily because it is purely a marketing company and not tied to any specific products over the long term. This means we can adjust to any market trends and stay relative. My younger brother Scott is a Regional Sales Manager in the Seattle area, I am a Regional Sales Manager in Spokane and my brother Tim will be a Regional Sales manager in Moses Lake any day now. My daughter Melissa who is 20 years old is an FHTM Rep as well (Lord if I had started this business at 20 years old and stuck with it!!!!)…my point in this is we are an average family working together to lay a foundation for our future.
How about you? What is your plan for the future? We would love to help you answer that question. There are numerous Home Based Businesses out there to choose from. I can show you the one we chose and the reasons why…that however is a decision you have to make for yourself. My advice however is to pick the one that makes sense to you and start! Take matters in your own hands and do not be a victim of circumstance.
All the best,
Dean Cameron
