Top 10 Reasons for Starting Your Own Direct Selling Business
Empowering Women magazine - August 2006
1 Freedom and Flexibility Imagine the freedom to set your own hours, to take vacation when you want, not when it's convenient for your boss. That freedom, combined with the flexibility of a business that fits the lifestyle of a corporate professional as easily as it does a stay-at-home parent, is an appealing aspect of direct selling business.
2 Financial Freedom Building your own business allows you to control your financial future. An opportunity that allows you to leverage your time and offers a source of residual income allows you to create true financial freedom.
3 Tax Benefits Tax deductions for home-based business owners ? supplies, business mileage, even utilities for a designated office space ? can really add up. A tax advisor who specializes in home-based businesses can help you take advantage of all the tax benefits available to you.
4 Recognition Recognition is practically nonexistent in an adult's day-to-day life ? unless you're part of an industry in which praise is part of the package. Good companies recognize their field's achievements more than money. Applause, trips, jewelry and more all help independent business owners know they're appreciated for their efforts.
5 Personal Growth You're never too old to develop a better attitude, learn a new skill or overcome shyness. Owning your own business, and being part of a direct selling business in particular, fosters the desire and the support people need for personal growth.
6 Fun and Friendship Direct selling business opportunities offer a wonderful opportunity to develop and strengthen friendships. Whether you're a stay-at-home Mom who craves adult conversation, a retiree who wants to remain socially active or a corporate employee who wants to create a life outside of work, the direct selling industry offers numerous opportunities for expanding your circle of friends.
7 No Limits When you're employed by someone else you rely on them to give you a raise or a promotion. When you're the boss, you decide! Set your own goals, dream big and create the life you want with no restrictions on territory or income. Perhaps that's one reason more young women are choosing this alternative-career path over the corporate world.
8 Customers Love the Convenience In a fast-paced world, the more ways we can simplify our lives the better. Shopping at home ? at a home party, on a consultant's web site or by simply picking up the phone and talking to someone who knows what you like and use ? is a convenience that customers appreciate.
9 Get the products you Love at a Discount Most companies allow their distributors to purchase items for personal use at significant discounts. Becoming a consultant with a direct selling company is a great way to stock up on products you love, and earn money by sharing them with friends and family.
10 Earn Money While You're on Vacation Take advantage of residual-income opportunity most direct selling companies offer by building a team, and you'll be on your way to earning money ? even when you're not working. Direct selling offers independent business owners the opportunity to maximize their income based on their personal efforts and those of their team.
