  <body>&lt;p&gt;OK.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You're still here so that's very important.  You really DO want to start a business of your own!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So let's address each one of the mis-guided views/obstacles that are likely holding YOU back needlessly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1. &lt;strong&gt;Too Difficult&lt;/strong&gt;?   NOPE!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In fact, I once thought that too. But then, after doing my research, I found that there are technologies and software everywhere that are both extremely affordable ( many great ones are even free) that will enable you to do just about anything you can imagine.  On top of that, there are some awesome, very knowlegdeable people out there that will help you step-by-step. I'm one of them!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Your business can be ANYTHING (literally) that you can dream up!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Do exactly what you LOVE to do!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So rid yourself of the fear right now. If you have the equivalent of a high school education, you can start, develop and truly succeed in a business of your own!  And LOVE it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2. &lt;strong&gt;Too Expensive&lt;/strong&gt;?  NOPE!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It will not be free, but actually pretty close to it!  If you follow my lead and adopt the recommendations made by my system, you will be able to start from NOTHING - not even an idea!  Then very affordably start to learn, start-up, develop and GROW a real business for about the cost of a coffee and bagel per day.  And that will include EVERYTHING you need. I actually have a way that you can earn a very decent FULL-time income for absolutely NO cost to you!!  And you'll learn the rest at the same time too!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Is that better than free?  Yep.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3.  &lt;strong&gt;Have A Good Job&lt;/strong&gt;--No Need To Do This?  Hmmmm...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Well, Congratulations.  For now.  But I am certain you are aware of the fact that job security is NOT what it was years ago.  Employers are businesses too. Today, they need to scrutinize every penny spent and strategy, just as everyone does.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You may think you are &quot;safe&quot;. But you may be incorrect.  I have been victim of that thinking at least twice. It is THE reason I started my business.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;YOU should do the same. Don't think twice about it.  Even if you ARE comparatively secure, what if something happens to you like an accident or illness?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Would that change your level of security?  Likely it would. You need a Plan B.  So do it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also, are you earning more than you need?  If not, another great reason to get started!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;OK. Is my point clear on this one?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;4. &lt;strong&gt; No Time&lt;/strong&gt;--  No Time?  We ALL have 24 hours a day.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What do you DO with yours?  It's a matter of making decisions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Is it sensible that you could devote 1 hour a day or 3 to 10 hours each week to create a FAR better quality of life? And what if you even had someone willing to do up to 90% of it FOR you? You will! That'll cut your time down by 50-90% more.  Now do you think you have the time?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;5.  &lt;strong&gt;Hassle, Pain In The&lt;/strong&gt;...?   No WAY!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anyone that has experienced the freedom, control and creativity&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;of being in business for themself, will tell you they would never turn back.  Entrepreneurship is the foundation of the US.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately, we have lost sight of that.  We have become a &quot;worker bee&quot; society.  Not that that is a bad thing, it's not. But what is best for YOU and your present and future?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Do you really want top be a &quot;worker bee&quot;?  Is that all you have in you until your last days?  If so, then that's fine.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But it wasn't for me.  I now know that we have ONE shot. One life to live.  No job is going to enable me to do what I really want to do to the level that I want to do it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I work extremely hard. But...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&quot;Nothing is really work unless you'd rather be doing something else&quot;&lt;/strong&gt; -- James M. Barrie&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So, exactly how do &lt;em&gt;you &lt;/em&gt;see things ?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;**&lt;strong&gt; Final comments&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;OH, and let's be sure you understand one more thing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We're not talking peanuts and small potatoes here. With the mainstreaming of the Internet, YOUR potential to do this successfully is greater than EVER before in history.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you are wondering just &lt;strong&gt;how much income is possible&lt;/strong&gt;, let's just leave it at this:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Your market is truly unlimited. Internet usage will only grow and grow.  You just need to get going. The Internet is a small business &quot;miracle gift&quot; from God&quot;. It's the perfect &lt;em&gt;modeling clay&lt;/em&gt; for all of us to create real personal financial success.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Do things the right way and you will think what you earn now is laughable -no matter how well off you think you currently are.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now that you hopefully have a new perspective, perhaps you'll see how important a decision this may be for you and your family.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In my opinion &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;every single one of you&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;should just get started.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I'll even personally consult with &lt;strong&gt;you at no cost&lt;/strong&gt; so you know what step #1,2,3,4,5, etc.  is.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Delaying is only denying yourself a great thing. There are no negatives whatsoever and the upside could not be greater.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So waddya waiting for?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks for reading!&lt;/p&gt;</body>

  <summary>I have learned that although over 70% of individuals in the US would love to start a business, they have not done so.  WHY?

I believe it is for these reasons, none of which are valid reasons for hesitation:
