Is capitalism inherently a system that perpetuates greed and greedy people.., and why is this question important to this blog? Answer; because this blog is devoted to helping others by providing tips on building their own home based business with the hope of, someday becoming self reliant. Hopefully that means that its readers expect to become successful participants in this system of exchanging goods and services called capitalism. And by the way, if one day they become “rich” as a result, is that not the ultimate goal?

You see, I personally do not believe that capitalism is inherently a system of perpetual greed. Yes, you can find greedy individuals who have become successful. But I would dare say that there are far more greedy people among those who are not the top producers in our economy.

I know, I know…, how can I possibly make such a statement when everyday the media tells me about yet another greedy, rich individual or group? But what does a person who has been successful enough to acquire large sums of money, actually do with that money (if the government doesn’t confiscate it that is)? Do they tuck it under their mattress so that “you” can’t find it? No. They do any number of things like;

- Build a new house
- Landscape their yard
- Remodel their home
- Buy an apartment building
- Buy a new car
- Put the money in a bank
- Hire a nanny to take care of their children
- Go out to dinner, to a play or to a concert
- Invest in a company
- Create Foundations and Scholarship funds
- Etc…..

No matter what they chose to do with their money, someone else benefits (unless, of course, they do tuck it under their mattress). If they build a new house, remodel their home, landscape their yard or buy a new car…, that means employment for many people. If they buy an apartment building, they could be providing housing for a college student or a young family. Putting money in the bank means that banks have resources to loan to others who also might want to do one of the items listed above. Investing in stocks means that companies have money to do business and to employ others. Just by typing Charitable Foundations into Google, you can pull up close to 700,000 entries. Colleges and Universities couldn’t survive without contributions from wealthy donors (did you know that Morgan Stanley has a children's hospital?).

It actually saddens me to hear us berate the American people as badly as we do. Despite those things that we can all point to as horrific in our past, I believe that Americans are inherently good people. We are the first to give when there is a major earthquake, flood or tsunami somewhere in the world. We have given our sons and our daughters for others to be free. As bad as slavery was, it did not start here, it ended here! And this country sacrificed 600,000 of its citizens in the fight for that freedom (a far cry from the 4,000 in Iraq). With President Lyndon Johnson, we embarked on the War on Poverty and spent upwards of $4 trillion in the process (which only increased poverty 10 fold by creating a permanently dependent class – in fact, dare I say that more politicians benefited than did the poor?).

So, no, I do not believe that capitalism is inherently a system of greed. I believe that we have demonstrated that by rewarding achievement, we have not only produced great wealth, which we HAVE shared with the rest of world, but have also produced great creativity, development and innovation, which we have also shared with the rest of the world. No other country on the planet can claim to have equaled our contributions to peace and prosperity the world over.

Therefore, I do wish you the greatest of fortune in creating wealth and achieving your dreams. Because, by do so you will also be helping someone else achieve theirs. And, in some small way, I hope that this blog helps in those achievements.

Make the Leap to Home Business Success

Before you can have a successful home based business, you must first possess 3 "intangibles." These are things that must come from WITHIN you.

 ===> Intangible 1 <===

First,you must have a strong WHY.

Why MUST you have a successful home business? What is driving you? What is it that you CAN'T have in your life anymore and/or what is it that you absolutely MUST HAVE now?

For me, I couldn't stand working 12+ hours a day anymore and missing the experience of my children growing up. I also absolutely HAD TO HAVE the freedom of being able to control my life and finances through a little box (laptop computer) that I could carry with me anywhere in the world and not be tied to anyone's time pressures or demands but my own. That was my carrot and my stick. I felt a great pain deep in my gut of missing out on my children's lives and the incredible freedom that succeeding in a home based business would provide for me. I found my why. You MUST find yours.

===> Intangible 2 <===

You must BELIEVE that it is possible.

If you don't believe that it's POSSIBLE for you to have a successful home based business or make your living from home, you won't. It's that simple.

For me, figuring out that it was possible was just a matter of realizing that many other people were ALREADY making great money working from home. If they could do it, I could too. It would just be a matter of figuring out what those people were doing and then adapting it to my situation.

There is no shortage of undeniable PROOF that people (millions of them) are making money working from home. Just get online and do some research and you'll find countless testimonials and stories of REAL PEOPLE making real money on the Internet. Or head to your local bookstore and you'll find the same documented evidence of this fact. Truth is, it's getting easier and easier to make money with your own home based business.

I've always said that "affiliate marketing" (a simple way to make money from home) is the job of the future. In the old days, you had to go to a potential employer, apply for the position and hope for the best. Now you can simply go to any company you want, fill out their affiliate application and start work immediately. Affiliates are the new working class. In fact, making money with affiliate programs or making your living on the Internet is WAY MORE than possible. It is pretty much (or will be soon enough) unavoidable now. Affiliate marketing is the "job" of the future that's already here TODAY.

===> Intangible 3 <===

You must be willing to MAKE THE LEAP.

Ready, FIRE, then aim... This is the operating philosophy you MUST adopt to succeed with a home based business.

That's backwards for most people who like to aim before they fire. The fact is that home based business success is a moving target... The only thing constant about it is change. You need to stop analyzing the game and simply jump into it. You can't learn from the outside... You have to be *IN THE RING* to truly understand and profit from it. In fact, this is a business where you can truly be earning WHILE you're still learning...

The lesson here is that you will never really be READY to start a home based business. You simply have to start one. It's like having children... You're never really ready, but when it happens you adapt and grow and therefore you succeed. This is what I call: "Making the Leap"!

The good news is that the cost of failure with having your own home based business is very small. In the "brick and mortar" world you need to evaluate things very carefully before you decide to open up a business. It's almost always necessary to invest thousands of dollars to get an offline business off the ground. However, on the Internet you can often start a successful business for less than $100. The Plug-In Profit Site is a great example of this where you can get your own money-making site setup free within 24 hours:

You simply need get IN THE GAME... Each moment that you stay "out there," you're wasting valuable time that you could be learning and skills necessary to build a successful home based business. In fact, if you're not in the game yet, you're ALREADY behind the times... Make the leap to starting and building a successful home business TODAY!
