Recent gollege grad students looking for a job this year don't need a dismal report from the National Bureau of Economic Research to tell them the United States is officially suffering through a recession. They're living it.
A recent report by the Collegiate Employment Research Institute at Michigan State paints an especially troubling picture for those who will graduate this school year.
As the job market gets worse, it affects a wider range of people as skilled workers push less-skilled workers out of the running for lower-level jobs.
The unemployment rate for college graduates is typically about half the rate of the overall population. But in October, it was up by more than half a percentage point -- to 3.1 percent nationally for grads over age 25.
Where are recent college grads finding an abundance of opportunities?
“Starting a business in MLM and Direct Sales”, says Brent Vanderstelt of Fortune Hi Tech Marketing, a direct sales opportunity which offers products and services from Fortune 500 companies, such as Dish Network, Sprint, Verizon, Travelocity, GE Home Security and 20 other products.
There are many great reasons and real life experiences gained from starting any business, but MLM and direct sales offers the least expensive option. Choosing to start a business is a step that exudes confidence, planning and optimism and requires a certain amount of skill, including networking, management, sales, time-management, planning and money management.
Even if you start a business as a part time enterprise, the simple fact that you've taken that step speaks volumes about you as a person. Take a look at these benefits:
Small amount of risk: There is a certain amount of inherited risk involved when you become an entrepreneur, but with a MLM or direct sales business your loses can be limited to just a few hundred dollars.
The income potential: There is no cap on how much money you can generate. In my corporate jobs, my big limitation was that regardless how hard I worked for these companies; my income was tied to a "market standard" for someone with my skills.
Residual income: I am sure that you pay your gas, your electricity, and your phone bill every single month. These are the types of services that for the most part provide an ongoing stream of residual income for these companies.
Taxes: As a small business owner you can take advantage more than 12 tax reduction strategies to lower your tax liability. Don't think of taxes as a burden, but an opportunity to partner with the government to help your business grow.
Enjoyment: You have immiadiately have a career in MLm and direct sales. You will not have to sit through dozens of interviews with countless number of job seekers. Your can climb the corporate ladder” with your own business and make more money working for yourself than working for “the man”.
Growth: Personal growth is an area that many small business owners don't realize they have entered. Hardly anyone is an expert in their field from the get go, so starting a business allows you to grow your skills.
Skills that you grow don't have to be limited to your business area. You're going to pick up other skills like public speaking, decision-making and other soft skills.
Community/Networking: You found your way to this site, which is an extended community. You can also find your way to other communities whether they are online or offline. As a small business owner you have something in common with a larger group of people.
Direct selling is a growing industry.
Sales in the U.S. have more than doubled in the last decade to more than $30 billion and are now more than $100 billion worldwide.
People from literally all walks of life, of all ages, are successful in direct sales. About 75 percent of those working in direct sales are women, 10 percent are African American, six percent are Latino and three percent are Asian, Native American or other. Many people start part-time, and later leave their other careers when direct selling becomes more lucrative.
Anyone can do it.
There are no required levels of education, experience, financial resources or physical condition.
People of all ages and from all backgrounds have succeeded in direct selling.
Direct sellers are independent contractors. You're your own boss, which means you can:
- Work part-time or full-time - you choose when and how much you want to work.
- Set your own goals and determine yourself how to reach them.
- Earn in proportion to your own efforts. The level of success you can achieve is limited only by your willingness to work hard.
- Own a business of your own with very little or no capital investment.
- Receive training and support from an established company.
