Home based business – which, on recent estimations by Forbes magazine, will account for 79 million new businesses over the next three years – has come a long way since its humble beginnings. Certainly, when Amway led in the birth of the home business industry over 50 years ago (a multi-level marketing venture whereby you purchased your products at a reduced cost and also made money on the products purchased by people that you referred) the popularity today could not have been foreseen.Its growth is all the more surprising when the bad press MLM has received is taken into account: some MLM ’schemes’ were, until recently, little more than money games and it is clear that this minority has spoiled it for the rest of the pack.With top business minds, Forbes magazine, major players like Liberty League International and Wealth Masters International both capitalizing on the lucrative Internet market and LifePath Unlimited offering opportunities to work in two of the fastest growing home business opportunities industries today, it is safe to say that home business’ time has come.
