The U.S. Chamber of Commerce said “Millions of Americans are embracing entrepreneurship by running their own small businesses, through independent contracting or direct selling.”

June/July 2008

A recent Gallup Poll finding that 61 percent of Americans now say that they prefer to be their own bosses.

According to Fresno California based research firm Decipher, 72 percent of all adult Americans would rather work for themselves… and 67 percent think about quitting their jobs “regularly” or “constantly.” An increasing number are doing more than thinking about it; they’re doing it.

The creation of a new business “is more wide spread than the creation of a new household or the birth of a baby,” reports the 2002 Panel Study of Entrepreneurial Dynamics.

Carl Schramm, president of the Kauffman Foundation says, speaking about the 15 percent of the U.S. population involved in running their own businesses; “These entrepreneurs, people now creating half the new jobs in America, are defining the new economy, not just here but around the world. We could call the current era the age of entrepreneurial capitalism.”

As economist Paul Zane Pilzer puts it in The Next Millionaires, “We’re in the midst of a boom in home-based businesses, and it shows no sign of slowing.”

Here’s how Fortune magazine put it in a recent cover story: “Forget the paycheck; your W-2 days are over. It’s a 1099 world now.”

Why

•More Security•More satisfying lifestyle•Greater financial opportunity•Opportunity to have greater impact

Need for security

Nikken’s 5 Pillars of Healthperfectly supports the reasonswhy folks are looking to starttheir own businesses

One of the biggest reasons says John David Mann author of the Success Magazine article quoted above, for the self-owned business boom is that people love the benefits of working for themselves and enjoy the freedom they gain from designing their own prosperity.

In another issue of Success Magazine Robert Kiyosaki says: Increase Wealth: Start a business. With companies downsizing, the falling dollar and the higher cost of living, many families are feeling the pinch “The need to earn more money has never been greater.” For many he says “the No. 1 thing they can do to increase their wealth is to start a part-time business. They can start a small home-based business, an Internet company or network marketing business.”

“The richest people in the world

build networks. Everyone else

is trained to look for work”
