Work From Home
The American Dream - Work From Home
Hey, its Monday morning, you’ve had a great weekend and you have to drag yourself out of bed to go to work. Have you ever thought - oh if I could only I didn’t have to go to work, I wonder what it would be like to Work From Home? I certainly did. In 1974 I worked in the hospitals, had two children, commuted to work and it was a 2 hr trip each way. I was a single parent and I had to wake my sleepy little ones and send them off for someone else to raise. Finally one day as I looked into their eyes and said enough is enough. I am going to have a work from home and spend more time with my kids. At the time I had no idea where that would lead me in life. Its been an adventure and I am grateful that I made the choice.
Being in a Home Based Business for ones self is part of the American dream. Each man and woman has the ability to work and with dedication, consistent effort, continuing education and choosing wisely, they have the chance for real success. We are a country built on the backs of the little guy. The regular person and often family enterprises are the foundation of this country. We come from many nations and tribes; each bringing our strong desire to care for our families and be strong in our communities. Go on do it, work from home, people have been for years.
The days of brick and mortar business are slowly dying out, the smaller ones anyway. More and more people are purchasing products and services via the internet. More people are getting tired of being tied to an unsecured future while holding a job. The realization that we need to look for multiple streams of income and residual income for our retirement years is here. Jobs; working for the MAN no longer offers the security our grandfathers experienced.

NEW YORK – Online spending is expected to rise a robust 17 percent this year, despite a sluggish economy that has bruised many brick-based retailers, according to an annual survey to be released today.
Retail sales online, excluding travel purchases, are set to grow to $204 billion in 2008 from $174.5 billion last year, fueled by sales of apparel, computers and autos, according to a survey conducted by Internet analysis firm Forrester Research for Shop.org Security, the online arm of the National Retail Federation trade group. That projection is below the 21 percent increase seen in the prior year, but industry officials attribute it to the maturing of the business, not the slow economy.
E-commerce is clearly the bright spot in retailing, said Scott Silverman, executive director of Shop.org Security. So home business is here to stay. It is clear to see that what we have been hearing and sensing about the growth in internet sales of goods, service and information is in fact documented.
