I always sigh, smile, and shake my head a bit when I hear someone say they're going to start their very own business.
They believe their product or service idea will "sell itself." They see themselves working late nights, passionately, alone in their offices, putting a plan together and then launching a store or online business all by themselves.

You can have research scientists with PhD's, tax planners who worked for the IRS, and marketing experts with MBAs from Harvard, Stanford, and other top schools working FOR YOU. These overheads would typically cost millions of dollars per year in salaries alone, but they'll cost you NOTHING.
How$%: With your very own network marketing business. Network marketing businesses (the good ones, anyway) are incredible teams. Good enough to be beating the pants off of traditional businesses in every category, in fact.
