A Work At Home Business Opportunity, Better Than The Lottery!

I was talking with one of my business partners this afternoon, about people who would like to start a home based business but will say they are unable to come up with any start up cash. They'll agree that it's a legitimate work at home business opportunity, but still they balk at the cost. Of course it's absurd to think one can start a business and have no capital with which to do so. The online forums are full of posts indicating that any business that has start up costs must be a scam. They couldn't be any more wrong, but that's not really the subject of this article.

These same people, who say they can't come up with any start up capital have no qualms about going down to their local 7-11 each and every Payday and purchasing lottery tickets! They'll plop down anywhere from $10 to $20 or more every week without any reservation, knowing that the odds of even recovering their investment are slim to none. To make matters worse, once in a while they may actually win a hundred bucks or so, which just adds fuel to the fire. Yet, they're unwilling to spend $50 - $100 to start a home based business that will enable them to work at home with the opportunity to make thousands of dollars a month, passive residual income and be secure financially for the rest of their lives.

One definition of the word Insanity is "To continue doing the same things over and over, expecting different results." That definition certainly applies to these people. They want to strike it rich and they're willing to bet on extremely long odds, over and over again, to do so. Insanity! It's incomprehensible to me to think that anyone would refuse a legitimate opportunity to work at home and build a respectable and profitable business but they'll turn right around and throw money away on nothing more than a pipe dream!

No, there's no guarantee that a home based business will succeed. There are no guarantees in life, period, with the exception of death and taxes! But I will promise you, the chances of success with a work at home business opportunity are a heck of a lot better than they are with a lottery ticket. I'll take those odds all day long! Wouldn't you?
