A Quick Note on the Economy- If The Shoe Fits

Has there ever been a better time to build a home based business?
I personally know several Network Marketing, and Direct Sales companies making HUGE LEAPS in this new economy.
Why is this happening, when everything else seems to be going down the tubes???

It's all about Perception.
You've probably heard the story of two major shoe manufacturers
that each sent a representative to a newly discovered island. They
wanted to see the possibility of opening up an outlet in this
island to sell their shoes, so the representatives went to get a
feel for the terrain.

One of the representatives called his headquarters back and said
"trip is over, we gotta look somewhere else, nobody here even wears
shoes". The other representative also called his headquarters and
said "send all the shoes you got, market down here is wide open,
nobody owns a pair of shoes yet!"

The truth is, that with as much Doom and Gloom you might be seeing, the market is
truly wide open. More people in our country are looking for a better way to provide their
family with a better quality of life, without being tied to an unsecure 9-5.

I urge you to look at your current situation, and the opportunity that we all have to 
make a huge impact on this new economy, and take action. 

Just a quick note.
To Your Success

Primerica cancels convention (55,000 attended in 2007). Was it dictated by U.S. Government? How does canceling event help company & economy?

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Citigroup Inc has canceled a convention planned by its Primerica Financial Services unit in Atlanta, along with a trip to a Bahamas resort for the insurer's top agents, as the bank cuts costs after receiving $45 billion of taxpayer money.

The biannual convention, which was scheduled for June 17 to 20, had attracted 55,000 people in 2007, a Primerica spokesman said. The Bahamas trip was scheduled for later this month at the Atlantis resort on Paradise Island, the spokesman said. "Everyone is aware that this is a time of unprecedented economic challenges," Primerica said in a statement. It said Citigroup canceled the convention "due to the current prolonged recession."

Primerica is based in Duluth, Georgia, an Atlanta suburb. Citigroup and other financial institutions that got funds from the Troubled Asset Relief Program face pressure from politicians and investors to cut unnecessary costs. Earlier this year, Citigroup decided not to take delivery of a $50 million corporate jet, and former chief Sanford "Sandy" Weill agreed to give up his use of company aircraft.

The government bailed out Citigroup in November, injecting $20 billion of capital and agreeing to share losses on $301 billion of troubled assets. Citigroup had received $25 billion of additional capital from the government in October. (Reporting by Jonathan Stempel; Editing by Ted Kerr)
