Hi Friends,
As tax day approaches, some people dread doing their taxes; however, we are not. This week is our time to finalize the taxes and honestly, we are very thankful to have a home-based business. If you don’t have your own business yet, you need to look at one and see how it fits your family, your goals and your life.
Obviously, we love what we do and now can enjoy all the benefits the tax code allows. As someone who has been in direct sales for nine years, the number one question I field is ‘how to pick a home-business.’ I cannot tell you what business to choose; that is a personal… and family decision. However, these are the nuggets I would share: (1) Direct Selling is booming! Find something you like and - whether you join us or not, who cares! Do something! (2) Does the company you choose have a retail site where others can purchase products without strings attached? (3) Finally, I would encourage you to look at different aspects of the company you are choosing: how long has the company been in business, what is your start-up risk (investment), are there monthly quotas that need to be met, what is the return on your investment/profit future and what is the future of the business?
From 2008-09 retailers turned in their worse earnings in 100 years while the direct selling industry reported $28.33 billion in sales during the same period. There are 16.1 million people getting a share of the 28 billion including us. Are you? People wonder why we chose to promote Send Out Cards? The simplest answer is because SOC’s greeting cards are better, faster, easier and most importantly they cost 1/5 the price than our competitors. A direct sales business model allows our family to control our time, schedule, vacations and more – and there is cap on the income we can achieve. There is no ceiling to our success unlike the days when we worked a J-O-B and couldn’t move up unless there was change/movement or someone died above us. With direct sales, there is no limit to your potential – and probably the reason, we cheer you all on and remind you to “Shoot for the Moon!” --Danielle
