Lito long-time friend of mine, who had fun on writing different kind of books. Early in his career he worked for advertising agencies. This was followed by a stint as a Naval officer. Lit’s career really blossomed when he founded, in his garage, his own business to sell marine products to the boating field. Starting with a high-grade varnish, Lito soon expanded to other quality products. Today he has a full-time staff but Lito uses all his talents writing what some think is the best advertising in the boating field, testing his excellent products, calling on boat yards, seeking new products, and being a friend to boatmen everywhere.
Don’t allow your skills to die. You have but one life on this earth. Live it to the fullest, using ALL your skills to build your wealth, happiness, and independence while helping others. You’ll never regret making a full commitment to outstanding success.

Does your boss call you an old man at forty? Thirty-five? Is he ready to throw you to the wolves—unemployment, discouragement, loss of ego—after you’ve given the best years of your life to the company? Are you faced with a constant barrage of sarcastic remarks designed to undermine your ego and make your life a mass of insecurity?
Stop singing the overage blues. Start, or buy, a business of your own that can be run at home. With such a business you can be proud of your age, instead of ashamed of it. You can proudly advertise your years of experience and highly developed skills. Instead of losing money because of your age, you’ll earn bigger profits. Escape the age barrier forever in your own business—the freedom you obtain will be more joyous than any you’ve ever known.

Do you enjoy working in a sport shirt, slacks, and sneakers? Or do you prefer neat khaki work clothes? Perhaps you have other favorite clothes in which you feel comfortable. No matter what your favorite clothing is, you can wear it when you work at home.
Other conditions which can make you more comfortable while you work are lack of noise, a cool working space, freedom from interruption, proper light, a pleasant view, and handy equipment and supplies. You can have all these and more conveniences when you work in your own home. Will they be expensive? No; you can furnish your office or shop at low cost when you start your business. Then, as profits increase, you can replace worn out or inefficient equipment.
One of my good friends, Tom B., worked for several large companies without much success. Finally, after twenty years of poor luck, he told me his troubles. He couldn’t hold a job because he disliked taking orders and liked to drink homemade apple cider. As we talked it became clear that Tom, while ambitious and capable, was actually an independent thinker. He was really cut out to be in his own business, instead of taking orders from vice presidents in large companies.
“Tom,” I said, “did you ever consider going into your own business?”
“I’ve dreamed of it many times,” he said.
“Then what’s stopping you?” I asked.
He pondered this for several minutes before he said “I guess you might say I’m afraid.”
“That’s foolish, Tom. You’re afraid you won’t make good with a large company because you’re an independent thinker. And you’re also afraid to go into business for yourself. Give fear the boot by deciding what you want to do. Then do it.”
Tom did. He went into the chicken feed business because he lived in a poultry farm area. Today he works his own hours three days a week and drinks apple cider the other four. As he remarked recently, “I find it very comfortable working at home, away from nasty memos, insolent vice presidents, and bossy secretaries. I should have done this years ago.”

You can start at the bottom in a large corporation today and rise to the top—if you’re lucky and if you’re willing to wait thirty to thirty-five years. By the time you reach the top you may be so weak and so worn out from the competition with other people that you can’t enjoy the results of your labors. Worse yet, you may work for years, giving all your energies and time to the company. Then your department may be reorganized, or merged with another, and you may be demoted, discharged, or laid off “until business picks up a little.”
You can move ahead ten times faster, and with much greater satisfaction, in your own business. Why spend thirty years waiting for the big promotion when you can earn as much, or more, in your own business within three years, or less? Hundreds of top executives say to me every year “If I worked as hard for myself as I do for this company I’d be a millionaire many times over. Yet, what do they pay me here? Peanuts!”
The older you get, the more Important It becomes that you move ahead fast. A business of your own has the ideal advantage of combining fast success with a disregard for age. Try It and seal

Many people spend two hours a day traveling to and from their job. This time is wasted, so far as earning income is concerned. Also, the longer it takes you to get to and from work, the more it costs you. So you really suffer a double loss—nonproductive time and nondeductible travel costs.
Did you ever stop to think how much you could earn in two hours if you worked at home instead of traveling? Add to this your travel- cost savings and you’ll probably have a good day’s pay, if you travel two or more hours per day.
People are motivated to start their own home business for many different reasons. When I point out these travel facts to some people, they say “I don’t care how little I might earn in a home business. All I want to do is get away from the miserable crowds on the train I ride.”
Others say 4’A day’s pay in two hours? All I’ll have to do is work four hours a day and I can double my income—without traveling! That’s great!”
Don’t worry about your motives—just so long as you want to earn money at home. Given this basic desire, you’ll welcome the fact that you don’t have to travel to and from work. And once you’ve picked and started your own home business you can forget about catching the 6:18 train or bus every morning and concentrate on earning big money at home. You’ll never regret the fact that you don’t have to catch a train, bus, or freeway car pool ride every morning of the week.

Cal E., an airline pilot, bought a motel as a start for a home business which he plans to run when he retires from the airline. The motel is doing well but Cal thinks there are other chances for him. Recently a very attractive apartment house containing 48 furnished units was offered for sale. The mortgage payments are about $3,000 per month.
Since the apartment house would make a nice combination with his motel, Cal watched it closely. The owner listed the apartment house for several months but couldn’t get anyone who was willing to take on the large monthly mortgage payment. After waiting for three months, Cal made his move. He offered to take over the apartment house, which is valued at $315,000, for no cash down. By this time the owner was so anxious to sell that he jumped at the chance.
So Cal, who never stops looking, became the proud owner of real estate worth more than $300,000 without putting up one cent! By careful manipulation of tenants between his motel and apartment house, Cal is keeping both rented at almost full capacity. Although the mortgage is a heavy burden, Cal feels he can soon “get out from by refinancing. When he does, he’ll be In clover because his
net worth will be enormously increased.

Some bosses are dreams others are slave drivers, if your boss Is average, he’s unpredictable demanding, surly at times, and a tightwad when it comes to raises. Why put up with such a situation when you can be your own boss?
Life is short. If your working day is full of frustrating demands, conflicting orders, back-stabbing, and constant competition, you can’t be completely happy. Is it worth being miserable for years just to get a modest weekly paycheck? Work at home and know the joyous freedom of being your own boss. After all, who’s nicer to you than yourself?

Work at home and you work your own hours. Forget forever time clocks, secretaries who check the exact minute you arrive, and nasty looks from a slave-driving boss when you’re one minute late.
Pick the hours you want to work at home—you’re the boss.
Fish or golf in the morning; sleep late, or have two extra cups of coffee in the morning. Start work when you want; stop when you’re tired.

You can get rich at home on your own schedule. Forget the 9-to-5 grind forever! Read on to learn how you can get richer_faster_at home than on any job you might ever hold.

As you move ahead with your home business plans, various types of people will try to attach themselves to you. The worst kind of person of this type is, in my opinion, the poser.
The poser pretends to be more capable than he actually is. He will often pretend tq be an intellectual—thinicing that occasional attendance at the opera and visits to art galleries increases his brain power. Let me tell you a secret—it doesn’t!
Don’t think that I’m anti-intellectual. I’m not. What I am against is the automatic assumption by some people that just because they read poetry and listen to classical music they therefore know so much that they can tell you how to pick and run your home business. The ability to read poetry and listen to music does not necessarily mix with the ability to run a home business. In fact, my experience shows that the two abilities usually do not occur in the same person, though either ability can be developed if the other exists first.
Be friendly with posers—you may be able to put them to work in your business when you need some cheap help! For when you probe the posers’ real worth you find you can’t afford to pay him much because his skills are so limited. He senses this and is willing to work for the lowest kind of wages so he can pay for more poetry books and classical records. Meanwhile, your home income will increase because of the work he does for you. So:
Be friendly with posers but keep them out of the financial areas of your business.
