			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>As we move into April, I&#8217;m taking the first turn in the subtle change of direction for <em><strong>The Rising Path Blog</strong></em>.</p>
<p>In this time of recession, more and more people have been faced with choices that they shouldn&#8217;t ever have to make. Choices that our grandparents had to make strengthened them and gave them the perseverance to see us through a Second World War. Many of us baby boomers still carry that same sense of resolve and determination with us today.</p>
<p>These tougher <a class="zem_slink" title="Economy" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy">economic</a> trends have forced people to re-evaluate what&#8217;s most important in their lives. Many are discovering that it&#8217;s not so much that shiny new <a class="zem_slink" title="BMW M3" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_M3">BMW M3</a> that&#8217;s most important to them, but the freedom that being at home (or near it) affords them to be able to share and involve themselves in their family&#8217;s life.</p>

<p>The acronym SAHM is making a shift from &#8220;<a class="zem_slink" title="Housewife" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Housewife">stay at home mom</a>&#8221; to &#8220;stay at home millionaire&#8221;. Those SAHM&#8217;s and <a class="zem_slink" title="Work at home parent" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_at_home_parent">WAHM</a>&#8217;s (work at home moms) were among the first to realize just how empowering owning your own <a class="zem_slink" title="Business" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business">business</a> is and can be.</p>
<p>What started out as a hobby for a lot of these women very quickly became a source of extra income or &#8220;mad money&#8221;. With a bit of effort and some serendipitous meetings, many turned THAT into a viable business with tremendous profits and a duplicatable business <a class="zem_slink" title="Business plan" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_plan">plan</a>.</p>
<p>Billionaires have been looking at many of the same businesses that the intrepid work-at-home entrepreneurs have. Warren Buffet was impressed enough with <a class="zem_slink" title="The Pampered Chef" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pampered_Chef">Pampered Chef</a> that he purchased the company and it continues to be one of the top performers in the Direct Sales market.</p>
<p>What mom&#8217;s and entrepreneurs have known for a long time, Business Experts like <a class="zem_slink" title="Donald Trump" rel="imdb" href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0874339/">Donald Trump</a> and <a class="zem_slink" title="Rich Dad" rel="homepage" href="http://www.richdad.com">Robert Kiyosaki</a> are beginning to see as a viable, profitable and essential part of helping to restore our economy; empowering individuals to own their own businesses in <a class="zem_slink" title="Network marketing" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_marketing">Network Marketing</a> or Direct Sales.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s my sincere hope that as the changes take place here at The Rising Path, you will continue to be inspired by the writing and most especially the motivation and intent behind my writing. I truly and honestly want for each and every one of my readers to succeed on their chosen paths.</p>
<p>Keep an eye out for more helpful posts about how to successfully bring your own Network Marketing or Direct Sales business to the next level&#8230;.and beyond.<br />
