I am sure that you have already written down your resolutions for 2010. By now there are many of you that have already given up on them. After all, we tend to set the same resolutions year after year. Lose weight, get out of debt, stop smoking, get a better job.

Well, this is the year to accomplish your financial resolutions. In order to do that, I know the best way is to build your own home business. Essentially, there are five good reasons why you should.

#1 The Economy

The best incentive to build a MLM business is the economy.

The last 2 years haven't been easy on a lot of people. Every day seems to bring more bad news as the economy continues its downward spiral. With unemployment in the double digits for the first time since 1983, the trade deficit increasing as well as our national and personal debts, the signs are all pointing toward recession. But a recession is good news for home business owners.

The reason I can say that is people are actively searching for ways to get paid more money. To bring in that additional income while working from home, many people have found the MLM industry to be an ideal situation.

#2 Being Your Own Boss

The second reason to start your own home business is to be your own boss.

Let's face it, no one likes to have someone telling them when they have to be at work. How much their time and effort is worth. Telling them when to take a vacation. Telling them they can't stay home with their kids. Or if they can advance with the company. But that is precisely what happens if you work for someone else.

There is an advantage to being your own boss. You set your own hours. You can give yourself a raise. Take vacations whenever, wherever and for however long you want to. You can be their for your kids if they are sick. When you are your own boss, you are creating time freedom for yourself. It is the freedom to be in control of your schedule so you can dedicate more time to what is most important to you.

After all, hasn't it always been the American dream to be your own boss!

#3 Create Financial Security

Financial security is the third incentive to be a home business owner.

What did Rockefeller, Vanderbilt, Hearst, and Johnson all have in common? During times of economic downturn, they all created financial security and generational wealth. While everyone else was looking for a handout or a bailout, they pulled themselves up by their bootstraps and created something out of nothing. The same opportunity still exists today if you are willing to put in the time and effort.

But just what is generational wealth? Generational wealth is the money and things of value that you get to pass on to your heirs. It is what builds a family legacy.

One of the best things about having a network marketing business, is that it can be willed up to three generations. That means as you are building your business and securing your financial freedom today, you are also building a way to provide security for your family tomorrow.

#4 Taxes

The fourth reason to start your own network marketing business is to save on your taxes.

I have found that the tax benefits of a home business are one of the most overlooked parts of a business. Did you know in the current tax code there are over 150 legitimate tax deductions for a home business owner to take? With the current tax code, there are over 150 legitimate tax deductions for the home business owner. That means you can deduct practically every expense you have in building your business. You just have to show an intent to make a profit by building your business at least 15 hours a week. (And who isn't able to make a profit by really working your business?)

#5 The Internet

The internet is the final reason you should start a MLM business this year.

The internet has made marketing your MLM business easier than ever. The best thing is even a novice can learn how to market on the internet. There are some great internet marketing training programs that don't cost a fortune (And the cost is tax deductible).

Although most people don't fully utilize it, today most network marketing companies have some sort of internet marketing system. You want to set yourself apart with SEO (Search Engine Optimization), Web 2.0 strategies and branding of yourself. These techniques are easy to learn. You also want to find someone who is having success using the internet and use them as a mentor.

The great thing about the internet is there are many ways you can market for free. You don't have to utilize every single one of them. But if you get good at just a few of them, you can generate the financial security you are looking for.

Leveraging your time is another good thing about online marketing. With traditional marketing techniques, you have to constantly perform the same action in order to generate leads. With online marketing, your initial effort is still working long after you perform the action. So as you continue to market online, your efforts are being compounded.

You have a choice to keep doing what you are doing right now and produce the same results you are having, or you can choose to do something different and change not only your life but that of your family's as well. Do your own due diligence and find a home based business that you can succeed in today!
