No More Gold Watches...

Does something feel different about the job market and the economy? Are the days of working for one company for 40 years and retiring with a gold watch gone? Is the feeling of job security also a thing of the past? I have to answer all of these questions with one word...YES.

If you haven't read Robert Kiyosaki's new book, "Business In The 21st Century" I would highly recommend it. He discusses the way things used to be and where the trends are moving in the present and the future. We as a society are moving away from traditional business and moving toward an entirely new business model. Remember the old days when our parents told us to go to school and get good grades so we can then work for a good company and spend the rest of our lives working for one company? What an opportunity to climb the corporate ladder, but the only problem was that the view was always the same on that ladder. You are always looking up at the other persons backside. It could take years of climbing that ladder to get to the top and only a small percent of people would get there. But with that came security. Knowing that you had a job with a steady paycheck was worth the slow climb because it took some pressure off.

That was then and this is now. As the economy continues to tailspin a lot of people are lost without that security. I don't know if they realize that there are many other ways to make a living and still live the life you always wanted to live. When you are presented with a down economy that is the best time to start your own business. Am I out of my mind for saying that? NO. When economic times are challenging is when you want to start a business. The statistics are clear that the majority of Americans would like to own their own business. They just don't know how to go about it. When times are tough is when the entrepreneurial spirit comes alive.

But Jay, I don't have the money to start a business! You don't need a lot of money to start a business if you choose the business of the 21st century...Network Marketing. The cost of entry is very low and the ongoing expenses are minimal. You want to choose a company that you have some interest in and then just share that with other people. Most people don't look at this industry as a viable alternative to the security of a job, but in this economy is there such a thing anymore? I would rather depend on my efforts and create my own economy than work for someone else and never know when the other shoe is going to drop.

Before you say no to this idea do some research on the industry itself. If you want to be in business for yourself and help others do the same without a huge investment, then I recommend you look into the future of business in the US. This is not just about making money or taking great products that will benefit your life. This is about self development and getting out of your comfort zone to become the person you always wanted to be. Becoming a leader and helping those that want to do the same, but just need your help. Serving others leads to GREATNESS!
