ECONOMIC TRENDS
The American workplace scene is changing. Currently, the largest U.S. employer is Wal-Mart, followed by McDonald's as the second largest employer. Job security is no longer viable. Companies nowadays tend to hire casual, part-time staff in order to limit or eliminate benefits to their employees rather than providing full-time, secure employment. Furthermore, according to recent figures released by the Internal Revenue Service, the income of Americans is shrinking. During the last two years, individuals were actually earning less than previous years (Source: New York Times; July 29, 2004). According to the IRS, this is the first time that incomes were actually falling in modern recorded history since World War II. Furthermore, between 2001 and 2003, some 11 million workers (or about nine percent of all job-holders) permanently lost their jobs. According to recent government statistics, the recent job loss phenomenon is the steepest since the Great Depression. A survey published on July 30, 2004 by the Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics said that layoffs are more frequent now than before. Workers who have been laid off are now forced to accept lower-paid jobs than the ones they lost, thus contributing to loss of income and lowering of standards of living (Source: New York Times; August 2, 2004). The government budget deficit is the highest ever, surpassing $500 billion. The deficit, coupled with unemployment trends, are driving negative economic forces. According to government estimates, the social security system will run out of money in the very near future. Furthermore, there is a grave shortfall in company-sponsored retirement funds so that there will not be enough money to pay everyone. Colleges and universities are producing more graduates than the economy can absorb. In order to maintain the lifestyle you want, you should not rely on paid employment or social security but rather you should start your own business.
GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE
A small business is the backbone of the U.S. economy. Ninety percent of all U.S. workers in the private sector are employed by small business. The government is encouraging individuals like yourself to get into business. Uncle Sam wants you to be rich and successful. The U.S. government offers loan guarantees of up to $1.5 million to entrepreneurs to start their own businesses. Furthermore, exporters are offered unlimited funds in the form of guarantees backed by the goods to be exported. Free grants are also available. In this course, you will learn how to access government assistance programs to maximize your profit potential.
GETTING STARTED
I am sure that you have thought about starting your own business many times but were not able to do so due to lack of know-how, lack of finance, lack of motivation, or fear of failure. Enroll in this course today and start making money instead of dreaming about it.
I started my own Mail Order Export-Import business a few years ago with only $200 that I borrowed. I started with hope as my greatest asset. Today, I run a small empire.
