Can you think of anything more stressful than becoming unemployed? Even if you are a good worker, you can still arrive at work one day to be told you're being made redundant. No one is immune to this and there is no doubt that unemployment can be incredibly stressful.
So what do most people do after being made redundant or when simply facing the threat of being made redundant? They try to get right back into the system that just left them out in the cold - they try to get another job for a different boss! A job will not create financial security, or security of any kind. If you are not in control of your own income, and have to ask someone else for a pay rise, and someone else can fire you at any time, you're asking for trouble.
If you don't have substantial savings and find yourself unemployed for a long period of time, even as short as 3 months, you could find yourself unable to pay the bills and facing foreclosure on your house. And all this is out of your control!
More and more people are taking control of their own income and building their own businesses from home as a way to take back control.
The main benefit of a profitable home business is that you're the boss! You won't find out one day you've been made redundant and have your income taken away from you. What's more, you're building a business that has a real future. You are creating an asset that is yours and yours alone, that you can even leave as a legacy to your children in your will. You can't get this level of growth and freedom with a job, where you spend all your time building someone else's financial asset instead of your own. You’ll never be safe in a job and you’ll never be able to earn more than an hourly or daily rate.
With a home business, however, you can have a small pay rise every single month. That's how it works. You build your business over time and your income increases. Eventually you will be able to let your business run itself and relax and retire altogether. You will be unemployed, but in a good way! You won't need to work anymore! Instead of stressing, which is how most people react to unemployment, you will have the time to enjoy your life.
Your first goal is $100 per month. Then $1000 per month. Then $10,000 per month. You can get started even while you have a regular job, so you're proactively building a second income stream to beat possible redundancy fears. Imagine being the only person not worried about unemployment, while all your colleagues fear and stress over it. This is what having a profitable home business will do for you - make you bulletproof to unemployment fears!
Standing in line trying to grab another job along with everyone else is demoralising and stressful.
Creating your own income is powerful and can set you free from unemployment stress forever.
