Welcome to the Family Ebiz Blog.
Our job is to teach you to start your own business so that we can further the Kingdom of God…one family business at a time. With this goal in mind, I will be sharing lots of biblical concepts concerning business, lots of practical business tips and even a few resources or two.
Although I have owned several traditional businesses (service and retail) for the last 20 years, I have come to realize that one of the easiest and most profitable businesses for families to start is an online business. I know of precious few other businesses that can be started with the following characteristics:
-No Debt
Debt makes everything happen too fast. It puts too much pressure on your business. Debt is the #1 reason most businesses fail in the United States.
-Start Small
You don’t want to bite off more than you can chew. If you have never had employees, you do not want to start off with 10 of them! Remember, all things need a chance to incubate before they can grow and your family business is no exception.
-Include my Kids
The whole purpose in starting a family business is to spend more time with your family. If you start a gun-smithing business in your garage and never involve your kids, what is the point?!?
-Low capital investment
If you had a ga-zillion dollars, you wouldn’t need to start a family business!
-Low time investment
Nuff said!
-Generate passive income
Again, I can’t start creating wealth until my passive income exceeds my monthly expenses. For a great discussion on this concept, read
Rich Dad, Poor Dad. I want to earn money when I sleep (or while I’m on vacation!).
-High reward for little risk
Hey as long as we are dreaming, I might as well throw this one in as well. I do not want to large risks, but I do want a huge upside potential!
Hopefully, I have demonstrated the advantages of an online business. So, look for more posts on how to do all this!
BIG DISCLAIMER!
This is not about multi-level marketing! This is about YOU starting your own business and rising or falling on your own efforts…not some down-line.

Hey Steve, glad to see you blogging! Can’t wait to see the blog after the BIG Semenar.
I like your MLM disclaimer. I’m sure a lot of us feel the same way… Yet, I’m sure some of us would like to see some blogging with your opinions and ideas about affiliate and multi-level affiliate marketing built around a niche.
Thanks,
Mark
