Are you compatible? Being great golfing buddies does not mean that repparttar 142884 two of you will get along well as home based business partners. You want to be comfortable with your partner and enjoy being around them. Still, in most cases, a too-close friendship is not advised. Why?

70 MILLION PEOPLE WILL BE DOING THIS BY THE END OF 2005

Staying home and making money is repparttar

fondest dream of millions of people.

And why not? Most people are unhappy with their day jobs,

slaving away for a boss and not getting much in return, not

even their freedom. Many people live for repparttar 142883 weekends and

drag themselves through repparttar 142884 weekly 9-5 grind.

Did you know that repparttar 142885 majority of fatal attacks happen at

9 a.m. Monday morning? Don’t believe me? Well it’s true.

It seems a lot of people would rather die than get back to

the old grind after a weekend of freedom.

Whenever someone offers an opportunity or plan for you to

take your job and shove it, yet still make enough money to

live and pay all your bills, it sounds blissfully

irresistible.

Is it really possible to land a real work-at-home job or

run a business from your own home that is more than a hobby

or source of part-time income? Can you get rich working

out of your own home? Can you really trade your cubicle

and necktie for pajamas and repparttar 142886 comfort of your own den?

Well, home-based businesses are one of repparttar 142887 fastest growing

kinds of enterprises in America today. Currently some 40

million Americans are doing at least some form of work out

of their homes, (telecommuting, freelancing, working as

independent contractors, or owning a business), and repparttar 142888

numbers are rapidly rising.

According to repparttar 142889 U.S. Department of Labor, as many as 70

million people will be working out of their homes by repparttar 142890

end of 2005. Government studies have indicated that as

much as 75% of all work done in this country could

eventually be moved home. The numbers are staggering.

You would actually be surprised to know that many major

companies like Office Depot, Pizza Hut, Sears, Staples,

Carnival Cruise Line, etc., hire home workers. Yes,

millions of people like myself are secretly working

from home earning enough money to pay repparttar 142891 bills and

more.

However, repparttar 142892 overwhelming majority of home workers are not

exactly getting rich. Only about 5% are getting rich.

Why? Well, it takes a lot of discipline, hard work,

motivation, perseverance, and your own product or service

to really start earning at least $10,000 a month like repparttar 142893

greedy marketers claim you can easily do.

In reality, most people are not willing to do what it takes

to make this happen. There are many people who are just

satisfied with making enough money to pay their bills and

work around their family's schedule.

Most people don't want to go through repparttar 142894 hassle of starting

a home-based business from scratch. They would prefer to

contract with a major company like Office Depot or work at

home as an employee for a major company.

If you are like most people and would like to work from home
