It hardly matters what city you are in, empty commercial office and retail space is available in abundance everywhere you look. One reason of course is our economies are still experiencing the backlash of the worst global recession in history, but another is the continual growth of the home business entrepreneur. MLM, Network Marketing, and Direct Sales, which for all intense and purposes translate to the same thing, is an intense factor contributing to the home business growth. This is because the business model itself grows each and every year as manufacturers of newly high quality consumable products are utilizing the general public as their sales force.

If you have a negative perception of MLM, Network Marketing and Direct Sales, which from this point on I will use the term Network Marketing, step out of the past and look at the present and the future. No other business industry better answers the question, what do we do when there are no more jobs. The work place economy has more trained people for particular jobs skills, tasks and functions then there are jobs. The experience that may have taken some years to acquire is no longer marketable in the employment circuit. If you have to begin over and be retrained for a new career it only makes sense to look more closely at the home business opportunities available in Network Marketing. This widely open unbiased arena does not care what is on your resume. Here you become an entrepreneur, with all the tools and educational training necessary for what you need to succeed among the self employed. The money does not come quick. Your business starts from ground zero. It requires your time and efforts to breathe life into it. If you maintain trust and faith in yourself, you will find that you are capable of earning an income of sizable proportions, and far greater than an employer will pay you in even the best of markets.

The home business is in some ways are a very discreet entity. The store fronts are primarily websites instead of physical street addresses, and they are obviously not found on any office building directory. They are however quite operational and in the United States alone make up for 49% of all businesses. The point is many have done it, many will do it, and you too can do it.
