Why Everyone Will Have to Become an Entrepreneur

Written by JR Ridinger

The following article from Forbes is worth reading and sharing with people to help awaken their inner entrepreneur! To me, this article reinforces what we already know and the reason why we exist as a company and an opportunity.

With a dynamic community of entrepreneurs and loyal customers, Market America and SHOP.COM tracks customers' profiles and buying habits in order to match products to people and people to products.

Each entrepreneur is equipped with a SHOP.COM web site and is connected economically.  Market America provides a systemized and standardized business model, just like a franchise.  The company provides the support, training, technology, products, growing visibility and a proven business plan.

We represent the perfect opportunity for entrepreneurs – giving people the ability to achieve financial freedom, even in a time of global economic uncertainty. I feel that in the coming years, it will become increasingly apparent that it takes someone with passion and an entrepreneurial spirit to find success – and I’m not alone.

See below for the Forbes article: “Why Everyone Will Have to Become an Entrepreneur.”

Life is what happens while you are making other plans. –John Lennon
To prove the headline–and explain why everyone will have to become an entrepreneur–we need to talk about how the odds say the swirling global economy is going whisk you out of a job.

But since “nothing is constant but change”  was probably already a cliché when the Greek philosopher Heraclitus said it 2700 years ago, we need to make the point another way.

Try this.

Think back 20 years. On a random Saturday morning, you slip on your American made polo shirt, and made in the U.S.A. blue jeans, and while walking downtown you wonder if that new hot CD you want—the one that has been sold out forever—is finally available. Spotting a pay phone, you get the number for a record store you know is near by. Yes, they have a copy they will put aside for you, if you can get there within the hour. Not quite certain where the store is, you pull out a map and double check.
As you think about this scenario, and countless others you could imagine, you realize that it’s easier to list the tiny handful of professions and industries that will remain unchanged in the next 20 years than it is to write down the ones that will be altered—radically.  And all that upheaval is likely to throw you—and anyone else who is not prepared—out of a job.

Utilizing Twitter to Grow Your Business is Easier Than You Think

A couple of months ago, I wrote an article for the Powerline Magazine outlining a step-by-step guide for using Twitter to find success as an entrepreneur. Over the past few weeks I have been working diligently to grow my own personal Twitter following, while additionally putting those best practices in place for the Market America account. In a short amount of time, I have seen tremendous results, and I think you will too if you follow these simple tweeting tactics:

1. Jump in feet first. Twitter is simple and it’s free, so getting started is as easy as the click of mouse. Find twitter.com to create a personal [or business] profile. In just a few steps, you’ll join the ranks of celebrities, politicians, business leaders and the worldwide Twitter community.
2. Just go for it. Send a tweet! You know what they say, “Practice makes perfect.” So, just do it — send a tweet about anything. Express a thought, share an activity or even send a link to something of interest. Enter a tweet [no more than 140 characters] in the small blank box on the Twitter home page.
3. Follow other people and businesses. Just like any other social media outlet, i.e. Facebook or Google+, Twitter is just like attending a networking event only it’s virtual! Making a statement is not enough; joining in the conversation is imperative. By following others, your own personal following will form — just like making connections in the real world.
4. Seek out friends. Use keywords and search twitter.com to locate old friends, new friends or people who share common interests. It is a quick and easy solution to form a following. Think of a topic of interest to search; this simple action will reveal all the tweets surrounding that topic, while additionally showing the profiles of those who tweeted. Then, simply start following fellow tweeters with similar interests!
5. Pay attention to Twitter etiquette. Sending spam, neglecting to join or contribute to conversation, and merely launching an advertising campaign probably won’t inspire a following. Instead, treat Twitter as a relationship builder where the give-and-take of friendship is at the forefront. Supporting others, asking for input and sharing projects and points of interest will build trust and interest in both your personal and business brand.
Twitter is a very powerful social media tool, with the ability to create a viral message and send it around the world in mere seconds. Have you used Twitter yet? Can you share one of your best practices for Tweeting?
