Time Management
I went to my bank, seems my debit card got
swallowed by one of their affiliates ATM machines. I stopped there to see if possibly they held on to them, so when the
owner returns, I could reclaim it. No such luck, they shred them for your protection. Go figure,
now I feel protected, and without my card for 7 to 10 working days.
Hope that doesn't include anniversaries or kids birthday parties.
While waiting, at my bank, to explain my dilemma, I was reading the
latest interest rate jargon on the big board posted on the wall. 30 month CD
paying 1.4% in interest. Big money earner there, but you could get a credit
card for 7% annually, which probably zooms to 25% if you even look like you're
going to be late with the payment. Guess they need the difference to pay their high overhead.
When you look at what a small interest rate the bank is
offering, why not take some of that money and invest in starting your own
homebased business? Usually just $500 dollars or less, is enough
to get started. Look at the benefits. Earn extra money from the comfort of
working from home, plus tax deductions for using a home office. That
includes deductions for upkeep, utilities, telephone, and the list goes on.
Find a good accountant
that's knowledgeable about deductions for small . Keep good
records, other wise if an audit comes along and you can't backup the deduction,
you loose on that one.
If you do any offline marketing like driving across town to
show Aunt Sally your business opportunity, you can write off mileage too.
It just gets better and better for you and Less money for Uncle Sam.
Do your homework when researching different opportunities, there's affiliate programs,
over 3 thousand network marketing programs, plus click bank selling as well.
Check the search engines for information, visit mlm forums to investigate and ask about the different companies and always look at the
management company's track record. Don't get taken.
Newbie training for getting started is now more plentiful than in
the days past. Networkers who are now successful have opened up to guide
you on the path that they took to get where they are today.
That's why network marketing is considered a people helping people business.
Good luck with your new venture, and to the right of my page, on my blog,
there's some excellent sources to help you with getting started, even if you
are on a shoe string budget.
