We live an environmentally sustainable life style, growing organic tropical fruits and vegetables for home consumption, and relying on the sun to generate power.

In 2000, we quit a busy lifestyle as resort managers. With the use of the internet, we are able to work from home and being able to fund the lifestyle we've always wanted... a life of self-sufficiency and freedom.

In order to fund the life style we wanted, we needed to find ways to earn an income from home. We started learning all we could about investing and share trading. Later we discovered other ways to earn extra money at home. So if you need some tips to help you go solo contact me.

We believe one can operate a home based business from anywhere provided you are connected to the rest of the world and provided you are prepared to learn all you can to make it works.

On this site I discuss a number business ideas that I feel comfortable recommending because they have low start-up cost and do not carry a lot of risk.

Until several years ago we never bought anything from an independent network marketing distributor because we couldn't understand why they weren't sold in retail stores, especially if these products were of exceptional quality as claimed.

Now we're big fans of network marketing. The complete turnaround happened sometime in 2005 after we personally saw some very remarkable health recovery among relatives and friends from taking a particular health product which we couldn't find at health food stores or chemists. We're retired baby boomers so preventive health is important to us for without a healthy life longevity could be less desirable.

Now, besides food supplements we buy skincare and cleaning products from direct selling companies. It is a greener shopping option. And we're passionate about living sustainably.

But we love traveling.

Internet home based business fits into our lives very nicely. We don't have to physically handle the products. The paperwork, packaging and handling are all done by the product company and customers can be put on auto-ship. Online marketing and prospecting keeps the business open 24/7 generating auto-pilot revenue, leaving us plenty of time to do what we really enjoy doing such as gardening, fishing, beachcombing and traveling.

The thought of starting out on your own can be intimidating but I believe anyone who dreams of working for themselves should give it a go.
