Is it possible to be financially independent working from home?

The answer to this question should be somewhat understood by all at this point in time. Of course it is possible to make serious money from home and not only possible, but also probable. Take a walk into any major bookstore and just try to count how many best selling novels there are about different kinds of people and the different ways that they were all able to make millions with their own companies started from the home based business industry. There are millions of people who are actively working from home as their full time occupation and most are at least at the middle class level. The great thing about some of these new and great opportunities is that you don't have to have your Masters Degree in Business or Marketing, this home based business industry requires nothing of that caliber. Anyone who has a computer or laptop and a cell phone can potentially start their very own business making an income from home almost immediately. Some

programs offer great training and support and will help you from the very beginning to get your business up and running. Other potential online opportunities just want your money and then disappear; making it difficult for the legitimate businesses to explain that owing and operating a business will be an investment and usually involves some capital to begin with.

So what are the steps in creating an online business? Well the first thing you need to focus on is what kind of product you will be selling, if any. If you are trying to promote a product with little to no value than you are already digging yourself a hole. You need to make sure that what you are promoting is something that people are interested in. The next thing to consider is what kind of training and support this new business has to offer you. Are there real people available for you to contact when you have questions or other input? Are they willing to take some time to ensure you are properly trained if you are new to the industry? Another very important topic to consider when creating an online business is how you will be marketing this product. Does the business which you are now an affiliate of have proven systems in place for you to start promoting and branding yourself? These are a few of the very important things to consider when

beginning to generate any online business.

The bottom line is that there are many different and great opportunities out there right now, which could easily allow someone to be financially independent working from home. People, you have to realize that owning a business does take some effort on your part, and unless you have a good amount of experience in the field, you have to be willing to learn and interact with people who have good productive experience.

I will end this with one of my favorite quotes from Dr. Martin Luther King, who said,

"I say to you, this morning, that if you have never found something so dear and precious to you that you will die for it, then you aren’t fit to live. You may be 38 years old, as I happen to be, and one day, some great opportunity stands before you and calls upon you to stand for some great principle, some great issue, some great cause. And you refuse to do it because you are afraid. You refuse to do it because you want to live longer. You’re afraid that you will lose your job, or you are afraid that you will be criticized or that you will lose your popularity, or you’re afraid that somebody will stab or shoot or bomb your house. So you refuse to take a stand. Well, you may go on and live until you are ninety, but you are just as dead at 38 as you would be at ninety. And the cessation of breathing in your life is but the belated announcement of an earlier death of the spirit. You died when you refused to stand up for right. You died when

you refused to stand up for truth. You died when you refused to stand up for justice."

-From the sermon "But, If Not" delivered at Ebenezer Baptist Church on November 5, 1967
