Three Reasons Why You Need a Home-Based Business Today

So, you have your life dream drawn in technicolor. The house, the car, the travel, time with your family, and the financial freedom to do and be whatever you can hold in your thoughts.

Now, is your current job your ticket to your dream?

No? Thought not.

But, wait, there's hope...A HOME-BASED BUSINESS!

Here are three reasons you need a home-based business today...

1. the economy
   
2. taxes
3. flexibility

THE ECONOMY
Do I need say more? Our economy is in turmoil. Big companies...Starbucks, Circuit City, Rite Aid, to name just a few who've been in the headlines recently...are either closing their doors or are close to it. Where are all of those employees going to find jobs?

But it's not just the closings...it's the layoffs and down-sizing, the lower wages and the disappearance of benefits.

All at a time when gas prices and food prices eat huge holes in family budgets.

How secure are you?

I was a teacher for 14 years. I voluntarily left to pursue a greater dream. But thousands in my Florida county no longer have teaching positions even though our student population is growing.

TAXES
There are 300 or so tax deductions available for small business owners...including small home-based businesses.

One of our dreams was to travel. And we have. Every trip we've made this past year...from a cruise in the Mexican Riviera to Universal Orlando and Blue Man Group...were tax deductible business expenses. All according to the IRS code.

And that's just a small part of what the government has available for small business owners.

You can't afford not to have a home-based business.

FLEXIBILITY
Your home-based business gives you the flexibility to arrange your business activities around your family.

If you have small children, keep them home with you. Save on day care and travel expenses. Give them parenting you know they need...you.

If you have school-aged children, be home for them when the bus drops them off. Help them with homework (if you get that new-fangled way of teaching algebra!), play that game of Monopoly, read that book together.

My husband still holds his W-2 job. Until the end of this year. Then we'll have the flexibility to travel where we want, when we want. Our home business is portable. All we need is our lap top and wireless Internet access...

Hey, I remind you. We're not there yet. Not at financial freedom. But we have a plan. And we've already worked through lots of mistakes to get where we are. I'll tell you about those, so you may not have to repeat them.

But we still have our dream.

So, dream your technicolor dream. A home-based business can be the way you step into financial freedom.

Go for it!
