Do you find it hard to find the right job, or maybe you have a job but it just doesn't seem to make you happy, there just seems to be something missing, that something that makes you feel fulfilled at the end of the week. Maybe, you just don't know why, but it just seems like there is something missing from your life.

You know other people are happy in their job, they are happy to go to work everyday from 9 till 5, go through the motions each day and then pick up their check at the end of the week. But for you there must be something else out there, heck you know what you're doing now isn't cutting it for you, isn't fulfilling your needs, granted it might be putting food on your table which is nothing to be sneezed at by any means, but you know you only have one life and you would like to spend it doing something you thoroughly enjoy.

Maybe you think having your own business is the way to go, you could be your own boss, no one to tell you what to do, come and go as you please, you would be responsible for your own destiny. You could get up in the morning when you wanted, no alarm clock to wake you up, no rush to get to work because you're the boss now. Sounds great doesn't it.

But wait that takes a lot of money doesn't it? starting your own business. What business would I start anyway? I don't know anything about running a business.

Well there is a way. The Internet is booming for entrepreneurs at the moment. There has never been a better time to get started running your own business. Some people are making fortunes on the Internet, others are making solid businesses that will provide for them well into retirement and beyond.

These are some of the figures from the Us Department of Commerce indicating the growth in online sales

US Online Retail Sales 2003 - 2008 in billions

2003 56 billion in online sales,
2004 69.2 billion in online sales,
2005 84.5 billion in online sales,
2006 101 billion in online sales,
2007 119.1 billion in online sales (projected),
2008 139 billion in online sales (projected), Source emarketer, April 2005

This shows the potential of the Internet for a long-term stable investment. The interesting thing about starting your business on the Internet is that it costs virtually nothing to get started. A bricks and mortar type business in the offline world can be quite expensive just to get everything setup before you even make your first sale. You have to either lease or purchase real estate to house your business, you have to furnish that real estate, there is stock to buy, rent to pay, electricity bills etc, etc. Compare this to starting your own business on the Internet, your initial costs are a website and hosting which you should be able to get for less than $20.00. To set up a fully functioning website that is making sales should cost you less than $100.00.

Another advantage of starting an Internet Business is that you don't have to leave your present job straight away or not at all if you don't want to. You can start off part time and develop your business as you go along to whatever level you want. If you decide, as many have, that this is what you enjoy doing and that it really satisfies your needs, you may decide to put your efforts into it full time. There are no limits on the Internet, you make the decisions, you are the boss, you decide how far you want to go.

So if you want to take control of your own destiny, provide for your family's future needs or maybe just supplement your current income then your own Internet Business may be just what you are looking for.
