Money Problems? Consider A Viable Home Business

Article by Jim Eastman

Many people find themselves in what might be called the “Time and Money Catch 22.” Trapped in a dead-end job with no hope for advancement, they live from paycheck to paycheck making barely enough money to meet expenses. They long to break free and start a business of their own, because the hope of better money “somewhere down the road” is way better than no hope at all!

The “catch” is that starting a business would require more time than their job allows, and yet they can’t quit their job because they’re forced to depend on it to pay their bills. There’s just no getting around it! No new business is going to begin making money the very first day. There will always be a period of time when there’s just no money coming in.

What’s needed is a business that:* One can start in his spare time and at his own pace

* Can be started with very little money

* Can be making money in a reasonably short time

* Most importantly, can be operated part-time while the entrepreneur maintains his present job during the “start up” phase.

So the solution is to look for a business that one can manage part-time until such time as there’s enough money coming in to equal or exceed the income from the present job – or at the very least, enough money to pay the bills!

If you find yourself in this situation, a good business for consideration would be the business of “Credit Repair.” Now there are credit repair agencies that charge 5 to ,000 or more for this service. Some attorneys even charge as much as ,000. So clearly, you can make a lot of money doing credit repair.

But even though agencies and attorneys charge a great deal of money, there’s nothing they do that you can’t do yourself. Best of all, you can start with very little money and do it part time while maintaining your current job.

Depending on which state you live in, you may need a license and may be required to be bonded. But you DON’T need to be an attorney, nor do you need any prior experience. Credit repair is easy to learn and easy to do, and with nearly 1 out of every 3 Americans having some kind of credit problems, you’ll likely have no trouble finding clients, so you can begin making money in a relatively short time.

While a detailed discussion of the process is beyond the scope of this report, let’s go through a condensed “run down” of how credit repair works.

1. You have your client go to http://www.annualcreditreport.com and get a copy of his credit reports from the 3 major credit bureaus. They are Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion.

2. Examine his report and identify negative items.

3. Write to the 3 bureaus and dispute several of those items. By law they must investigate and reply within 30 days.

4. When the updated credit reports come back, repeat the process and dispute additional items.

This explanation is a somewhat simplified version of the process. To start making money in credit repair, you’ll need to get a good book on the topic and do some study. You can easily find one online. You’ll also need to research the law pertaining to credit repair companies. Just go to Google and type in “Credit Repair Organizations Act.”

But remember, it can all be done while you continue to earn money at your current job. And even if your job allow you little spare time, you can use the time you do have to study at your own pace.

When you’re ready, you can get started by doing some “word of mouth” advertising. As you grow your business, you’ll want to reinvest some of the money you make into paid advertising so you can recruit more clients. At that point you’ll be well on your way to dumping that dead-end job and ending your money problems!

Money Myth Number One: More Money will Solve My Money Problems

Article by Kent Stuver

I often hear people say, “if only I could just make a little more money, I’d be able to get ahead financially.” This sentiment actually reflects a myth about money that has kept countless people from reaching financial prosperity. This is the myth that more money solves money problems. I’ll also look at what the reality is, and how you can leverage that reality to gain incredible mastery over your money situation.

This is the first of a series of five articles that each describe a myth about money management, and explain how understanding the true principle can be a powerful force in building prosperity.

At first glance it seems incredibly logical that an extra 0 or ,000 would make an incredible difference in dealing with our current money difficulties. And, if all else were to remain equal, this would likely be a valid assumption.

Unfortunately, where increases in income are concerned, all things seldom remain equal.

I worked with a man once who was an insurance and investment salesman. Over the course of four years he increased his income from ,000 a year to one million dollars a year. That’s an increase of 1,200 percent!

There’s another side to that story, though. The same year that he earned a million dollars, he spent .1 million. He closed out the year with 0,000 in consumer debt. That’s twice as much debt in year four as his entire income in year one.

And, when his income dropped significantly in year five, he had some serious financial troubles, even though he earned over half a million dollars.

The situation of another man I knew was quite a bit different. This man never earned more than ,000 a year. Yet, he never seemed to have any money problems. So what was the difference?

When he bought his first house, he bought one that was significantly less expensive than what he could “qualify” for. He made additional principal payments, and had the house paid off within 15 years. He set aside 20 percent of his income for savings and investments. He saved up for his cars, and paid cash for them. And, he was able to retire debt-free, as a millionaire.

These two examples illustrate the true financial principle: spending less than I earn will solve my money problems.

An interesting study was done a few years ago. In this study people from every income group (from ,000 a year to 0,000 a year) responded that they needed about 10 percent more money to really meet their needs. If you remember the man with the income of Million, you begin to see that, no matter how much money you make, that same inclination is there.

In ‘The Richest Man in Babylon,’ Arkad states, “that which men call their necessary expenses will always grow to equal their income unless they protest to the contrary.” This is a reflection of Parkinson’s Law, which states that the amount of a resource required will always grow to meet or exceed the amount of that resource which is available, if natural tendencies remain unchecked. In other words, if our income increases by 10 percent, the amount of money our lifestyle requires will also increase by at least 10 percent, unless we take specific steps to prevent this.

There is almost no limit to the number of things that we can do with our income. However, there is a limit to our income. This means that our spending will always grow to the amount that we allow. “No down payment, easy terms” means that it is often very easy for our spending to exceed our income.

Ben Franklin said that, if we want to increase our financial choices, we only have two options: We can either increase our income or we can decrease our spending. He added that, if we’re wise, we’ll do a little of both.
