The landscape for working from home is changing rapidly since the global sub-prime crash a few years ago. More and more people are finding themselves reliant on work from home initiatives as a matter of survival rather than what used to be a luxury.
For many this is a radical change especially if working for a boss has become a mindset, which is not easy to change. The transition from being an employee to becoming a work from home mom or dad is not an easy one at all. It's a huge mind shift, a quantum leap of note and a paradigm shift not to be taken lightly. If faced with the choice however, it's better to jump than to be pushed. In truth it is better to be prepared for a move to self employment by preempting the situation rather than having to survive the negative consequences of an unwelcome push.
How can one prepare for a scenario like this and can one ever be prepared. Robert Kiyosaki and co-author Donald Trump in their book "Why we want You to be Rich" focuses directly on this question. They and other business role models all agree that wealth is acquired through building assets which then yield returns and thereby enrich their owners. Duplicating assets in this way is then the basis for multiple streams of income which no doubt is everyone's dream.
It is therefore clear that working for a boss will never make you rich. On the contrary, your boss will become rich and you will wonder what happened the day you turn fifty five and are still trying to make ends meet. For anyone wanting to acquire wealth then, the focus is clear. Acquire assets and let them work for you. In anticipating a potential work from home scenario the strategy starts unfolding. Low cost easy to manage assets which can be started with little capital outlay while still maintaining a regular job is what's needed. Sounds simple, but the days of buying houses, apartments and condos for the rental market are all but over for the average work from home person. The sub-prime crash and subsequent credit crunch has all but killed that option for now.
What then are the options of acquiring lucrative assets which will yield good returns without the initial risk of huge capital investments. Is there an asset class which the average work from home entrepreneur or part time work from home parent can acquire with a small, low risk investment which will yield exponential growth returns in the future.
The answer is a resounding yes!
The traditional brick and mortar workplace is fast being replaced by the cyber network of opportunity, the internet.
The internet is the new global village where there is work for everyone, and the new global village environment gives rise to a new form of real estate, the web site, which until now has been hugely under-rated and even misunderstood by traditional sectors of the market.
The future is all about the "web site" which is fast becoming the media of choice for almost all global trade, and this reality reverts directly back to the entrepreneur wanting a slice of future cyber real estate riches. Unlike the costs of a brick and mortar supermarket, shopping center of trade fair, a web site can be acquired for the price of a meal for two. Yet, the returns on a low entry level web site can be enormous. Return on investment (ROI) figures can become heady. A $100 investment can yield positive returns within a few months and have an enormous future growth potential.
Compared to the complexities and risk of a traditional brick and mortar business, the cost of developing a commercially competitive web site is insignificant. Taking into account the rising costs of transport, raw materials, personnel costs and associated red tape the viability of a web site as a work from home job opportunity just makes perfect sense.
After all, who can resist the convenience of going to the office in your slippers, skipping the morning rush hour traffic and finishing breakfast at your desk. Add the time gained, the stress averted and the energy saved and it all looks like a very workable option. Getting your first web site onto the internet will be your smartest move in 2011. This will certainly position you for a good jump to something far better than working for a boss and will avert the risk of being pushed only to have to find another boss to work for. Rather, start your cyber real estate portfolio today and let your web site work for you. Is this easy to achieve?
