Home Business is Growing While Traditional Business is Faltering

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 recession in history, but another is the continual growth of the 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 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.

How to Start a Homebased Business

Do you know that it’s possible for a housewife or a ‘one-man-show’ around the world to a for full time income?

It’s possible. And I’m going to tell you what you need and how to do it.

First you need to get an extra phone line, fax and a computer in your home. This should be different from your existing home phone line or computer. That was easy to get started, wasn’t it?

The secret to start a home business quick and profitable is to be a ‘middle man’ between the prospects and the products or services they are looking for. It’s that simple! Of course you can create your own products or services to sell, but why go through the hassle in the early stages of getting started? By being the ‘middle man’, you can get started immediately.

Then, you have to determine whether you want to be a ‘middle man’ for a product or service oriented business. Both will give you the same benefits. Even if its product oriented, you are not be producing it. You are just merely getting it from someone and passing it to the customer. Therefore, you should not have any inventory. However, I’ll prefer to be involved in service oriented home business because it’s less ‘sticky’. Products may have more issues such as delivery, order fulfillment, product return and so on.

Here are 3 ways you can immediately start a home business by being a ‘middle man’ for a service oriented home business:

1. Human Resource ‘Department’

Do you know that many companies are hiring and many people are looking for a job? This is one of the best opportunities that you can get started immediately. It’s low cost, almost zero in cost. Go to all the offices and factories in your city and tell the human resource manager/department that you want to help them find reliable staff. They will have a list of vacancies. Get all the details. Compile it and start announcing to the public what vacancies you have to offer! You can make money from either the company or anyone who gets a job from your help. You decide how much commission you want. If the company already has their own commission scheme, you can just earn from there.

2. Real Estate

You’d be surprised that many people are actually buying houses each day. And many people are selling houses as well! Don’t believe me? Go to your local real estate dealer’s office and you’ll see there are plenty of requests from people wanting to buy or sell houses. You can just be a ‘middle man’ to get the deal. In fact, all real estate agents are ‘middle men’ in reality. You can just tie up with a few real estate agents and negotiate for a commission from them if you help them to get the houses their customers are looking for, or to help their customers to sell off their house.

A few deals a month will land you in big commission checks because houses price can vary from $50,000.00 to $5,000,000.00! However, you do want to set a certain criteria of amount that you will not participate. Example, you might not do any deals below $25,000.00 (or whatever figure you choose) because you’ll need to put in the same effort and yet the return is too minimal.

3. Seminar business

Do you see seminars conducted in your city or state? It can be any type of seminars. Doesn’t matter what seminar it is. Pick up your phone and call the seminar organizers. Tell them you’ll find participants to fit in their room and ask them how much commission they are willing to pay you per head. If the company is smart, they’ll pay you good commission because they no longer need to invest their money in advertising. And secondly, they cannot lose because they are paying you for results only.

Once you have experience of it, you may even consider engaging your own speaker one day and organize it. This can be your quarter year project for quick, instant cash.

There are so many other ways to start a home business. I’ve not even covered on how to start a home business by using the internet (If you want to learn that, go get a copy of ’5-Step System To Make Money Online VCD Package at http://www.sellingonlinesecrets.com ).

So don’t give excuses for yourself that it’s too much work, you need a lot of money to get started, and so on. Those are all excuses you create for yourself because of unconscious fear of failure. Or your own limiting beliefs.

It’s your life. It’s your decision. Sit on it, and there is no way you can expect to start a home business. Start it today, and maybe you’ll start making money in a few months and generate a full time income in a year or 6 months.

Introduction to Chinese Business Environment?

In the late 1970′s the PRC began developing its legal system which in turn would encourage foreign investment. China has turned its attention in acquiring an active role in the international since 1979. Since then China has spent many years actively modernising its legal structure, culminating in its entry to the World Trade Organisation in 2001. The scale of foreign investment has increased since then. The economy has experienced growth since then and with the joining of World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2001 there has been further expansion of the economy. It has resulted in relaxation of trade barriers and liberalization of the Company laws. The economy has shifted from centrally controlled system of the government to a oriented economy favouring foreign investments.

China has benefitted from the increased access of the foreign goods by way of export into the foreign market. The export of China has increased to US $ 762.7 billion in 2005. It has become the second largest recipient of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) after United State of America.

The legal system has thus been geared to meet the changes in the Chinese economy. There has been a change in the Company Law of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) of 1994. Previously the foreign investment in China took the three forms namely Chinese- Foreign Equity Joint Venture, Chinese- Foreign Contractual Venture and Wholly Owned Foreign Enterprises (WOFE). One of the initial major steps was the promulgation of the Law of the PRC on Chinese-Foreign Equity Joint Ventures (the “PRC Joint Venture Law”) in 1979 which governed foreign investment. As a direct result of this first Sino-foreign joint venture was established in 1980.

The management of these three types of Enterprises was plagued with inflexibility as these were governed by separate specialized legislations. The foreign investor can now open a Private Limited Liability Company and Public Companies issuing shares. This is an important step towards a friendly foreign investment.
