For a lot of us starting our own business, large or small is only  a dream—something too costly  and too risky to tackle.  Yet the desire remains—innate in many of us–to be our own boss, have our own hours, and determine our own success.  For others, due to layoffs, or technological changes, entrepreneurship is the only option remaining in these precarious economic times.  There is no better time than the present for the following reasons—

The Job Situation

Small business and entrepreneurship is where the economy is at.  Big business is not going to bring large numbers of jobs back so you need to prepare for this eventuality.  Jobs in the 21^st century will come from small business and entrepreneurship, not government or big business.  This severe economic downturn is going to recover primarily on the efforts of small business and entrepreneurs.  Studies show that most small business enterprises are 5 years old or less and account for over 70% of the new growth. 

Starting and establishing your own business can secure your future, even in recessionary times.  Did you know that more companies that we know and products we use today, were founded DURING the Great Depression of the 1930s than either before or after the Great Depression? That’s right! 

Entrepreneurship means you are not dependent on anyone else.  You can’t be let go. You determine your own salary, hours, employees, etc.  The amount of time and effort you put into the business builds the foundation for your future.  If that seems a little fearful, partnering with an established firm as an Independent Contractor can bridge much of the uncertainty when just starting out on your own as an entrepreneur, as you will be able to learn from leaders and mentors about marketing and business principles.

Product, competition, and market territories

These three things are key to your success.  The product or service must be of high quality and the longer it has been around the better.  Products come and go quickly in today’s environment, stability goes a long way.  Also, if a product has saturated the market it will be difficult to differentiate your presence in the marketplace from everybody else.  Branding will be important to rise above your competition.

Let’s ise the Summit Group and Watkins as tailorrmade examples for you in this regards.  Watkins has been around for over 143 years and is not going anywhere.  Starting with one quality product, liniment, Watkins has evolved to over 350 products winning a number of prestigious awards along the way.  It also has continuously evolved with the times, ever conscious of green and natural trends and incorporated them into their quality products.

As for marketplace, saturation and competition, territories are wide open for Independent Contractors, with statistics showing one Independent Watkins Associate for every 250 families in the United States and Canada.  That’s like one green pea in the middle of North America!   Perfect for building your brand and business opportunity with the Summit Group extensive training site and experienced leaders and mentors to help you every step of the way.
