Media The U.S. Chamber of Commerce said “Millions of Americans are embracing entrepreneurship by running their own small businesses, through independent contracting or direct selling.” (Source: report titled Work, Entrepreneurship and opportunity in 21 st Century America) June/July 2008

A recent Gallup Poll finding that 61 percent of Americans now say that they prefer to be their own bosses.

According to Fresno California based research firm Decipher, 72 percent of all adult Americans would rather work for themselves… and 67 percent think about quitting their jobs “regularly” or “constantly.” An increasing number are doing more than thinking about it; they’re doing it.

The creation of a new business “is more wide spread than the creation of a new household or the birth of a baby,” reports the 2002 Panel Study of Entrepreneurial Dynamics.

Carl Schramm, president of the Kauffman Foundation says, speaking about the 15 percent of the U.S. population involved in running their own businesses; “These entrepreneurs, people now creating half the new jobs in America, are defining the new economy, not just here but around the world. We could call the current era the age of entrepreneurial capitalism.”

As economist Paul Zane Pilzer puts it in The Next Millionaires, “We’re in the midst of a boom in home-based businesses, and it shows no sign of slowing.” Here’s how Fortune magazine put it in a recent cover story: “Forget the paycheck; your W-2 days are over. It’s a 1099 world now.”

Why More Security More satisfying lifestyle Greater financial opportunity Opportunity to have greater impact Why folks are saying that they want to start their own businesses:

73% of Americans believe their financial situation will worsen. 47% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. 42% say $500 more per paycheck would allow them to live comfortably. 43% of households spend more than they earn. Nearly 42% do not have enough in liquid assets to support themselves for three months. Need for security

Nikken’s 5 Pillars of Health perfectly supports the reasons why folks are looking to start their own businesses

One of the biggest reasons says John David Mann author of the Success Magazine article quoted above, for the self-owned business boom is that people love the benefits of working for themselves and enjoy the freedom they gain from designing their own prosperity.

In another issue of Success Magazine Robert Kiyosaki says: Increase Wealth: Start a business. With companies downsizing, the falling dollar and the higher cost of living, many families are feeling the pinch “The need to earn more money has never been greater.” For many he says “the No. 1 thing they can do to increase their wealth is to start a part-time business. They can start a small home-based business, an Internet company or network marketing business.”

“The richest people in the world build networks. Everyone else is trained to look for work” Robert Kiyosaki Author of #1 best seller Rich Dad, Poor Dad
