Copyright 2005 Craig FriesenIf you do any browsing of online home business sites or Internet marketing, you will surely have seen this message is some shape or form: "quit your job and become wealthy working from home...let us show you how!" In fact, most of
people who will read this article may have promoted a product or home business opportunity with a similar sales line or a variation.
What many do not understand is that wealth can be defined in different ways. A dictionary definition of wealth is: 1. riches; large amounts of money or worldly possessions; 2. an abundance of anything.
Your typical advertisement promoting an online money-making opportunity focuses mostly on
first definition - a large bank account and luxury items to your heart's content.
Home business opportunities, on
other hand, tend to focus more on
2nd definition. Here are several examples of how wealth is used as "an abundance of everything" in online marketing: - quit your job / fire your boss (wealth = more independence and control) - work at home / work from home (wealth = more time for family and self, with flexibility of schedule) - earn extra income / need help paying
bills? (wealth = more discretionary income).
