A lot of us are thinking of starting a business but we’re scared. Especially now with the economy the way it is. Is it really a good time to start that business that we have been dreaming of?
Most times it only takes a small investment and a product to get you started.
For other types of businesses it may take a little more of an investment to get you started.
We searched the web and found an article with the top 5 reason’s to start a business now: These top 5 reason were taken from an article written by Maria Watson of http://prosper-2009.com
==============
1. No pink slip
With people losing their jobs every day, it is a tough time to be working in this economy. Every day there is the fear of losing your job and the uncertainty has started to take a toll on many people. By starting your own business, you never have to worry about receiving a pink slip. It is extremely liberating financially and psychologically when it comes to being your own boss.
2. Prospects! Prospects! Prospects!
If there is one thing that is not secure in the economy today, it is your job. This is an extremely troubling and difficult thing to take in. What you will find online is that there is an endless amount of prospects to deal with. As long as you are motivated and willing to take action, you will find that you can double or even triple the amount of prospects you generate.
3. Tax incentives
There is not a person that enjoys paying large amounts of taxes. Why would you want to hand over a large portion of income that you have generated? By owning your own business, you will find that there are some tremendous tax incentives to take advantage of. You will finally be able to keep a large portion of income that you have invested so much effort into.
4. Now is the time
If you have received a pink slip, chances are you do not have a backup job to turn to. Instead of sitting around pouting or waiting for another opportunity to come up, jump on the opportunity of a lifetime. The sky is the limit for what you can get from starting your own business. You can potentially make a great deal of money from your own business online.
5. Invest in yourself
While the market is down, now is the time to believe in yourself and start taking advantage of the opportunities available. If you are going to succeed online, you have to have the right mindset and determination. If you are willing to invest the effort and time into yourself and the opportunities that are online, you can profit greatly.

Robert Johnson, founder of BET, said it best. “The best time to start a business is in a down economy especially if you have bullet-proof business plan and have identified an unfulfilled niche. I’m looking forward to this Friday’s radio show.

I am a home based business owner which has given me many options and titles but only because I make these choices.
My advise is to research everything of the company and its product or service.

This is absolute best time to start a business. I do advise that research your market, find your niche and commit yourself to the process of building your business and your customer base.

The best reasons for me being in business for myself are investing in myself, the Tax advantages and the attitude adjustment I have about working for someone else. I am no longer dependent on a sole job, although I still have to work outside the home, I am no longer fearful of what will happen to my finances if I should suddenly lose that outside job. There is nothing like peace of mind.

People talk to me about changing jobs and changing careers and opening a new business.
One of their major problems is they don’t know how to change their old attitudes into a new attitude to successfully go into a new business!
Going into a new business requires you to go into a new attitude about your new thinking, your new habits, your new behavior, your new lifestyle.
You have to learn how to change from your old attitude to a new attitude before going into a new business!
Going into a new business requires knowing how to give yourself a NEW ATTITUDE months and maybe years before you open the doors!
