Resolutions For the New Year : Finding a New Home Based Business to be Involved With

New Years Resolutions to better our lives in 2006. There are big differences between MLMs and Direct Sales formatted homebased businesses.The former leads to frustration and failure, the latter to much better results in time and effort VS. return of investment.

(PRWEB) December 13, 2005 -- The New Year is almost upon us. Many people are making New Years Resolutions and plans to improve their lives next year, to do something that will make 2006 a little more satisfying and fulfilling than last year.

One way people do this is by investing in a home based business. Many people invest a little bit of money and way too much time in MLM style business where one has to build large downlines in order to make tiny percentages of the sales of their team's efforts. This is often frustrating and tiring and leads people to mistrust and despise the dreaded "MLM" word. For the most part this is an unfortunate yet true scenario. Usually in order to succeed in an MLM opportunity one needs to be one of the first members and then they have a piece of an ever-increasing snowball pie. For most members, this never happens and they tend to lose their dreams of ever having a home business.

A much better alternative to the MLM trap is in companies which have a Direct Sales format. This enables the representative to make his or her sales and keep 100% of the profit. These people do not depend on long downlines to supply them with tiny profits on bottles of pills or lotions or gadgets. Instead, Direct Sales marketers are System Dependent, NOT People Dependent.

Lana Guber, a native of San Diego, California, states that there is a big difference in the two formats. "I have been in many, many MLM companies and all I got out of them was frustration and more debt. I have seen a big difference now in the Direct Sales program offered in Coastal Vacations. It's really a turn-key operation and includes a step-by-step success plan that anyone can follow. I earn 100% return on my sales, I don't have to split it with anyone, and I get huge support and training from the organization and my mentor. This organization helps one another without hesitation, feeling that when we help each other, we all benefit; it's a win-win thing."

Another great "win" is the tax advantages one has when they own a home based business. Write-offs include, home office space (a percentage of your rent/mortgage), mileage, phone (especially long distance plans), internet access, office supplies, and a little-known, 100% IRS-legal allowance for hiring your own children in your business.

Lana, a professional manicurist for over 30 years, is looking forward to retiring from her profession in the coming year and being able to do something she and her husband, Bill, love to do a lot; travel. They are cruising to Mexico in January.
