Everyone it seems these days is searching. Hunting. Looking for the Holy Grail. What am I talking about? MONEY. More specifically, a way to make EXTRA money. A way to do it without losing (please check one or all of the following): your money, your kids, your sanity, your sleep, or (in my case) your HAIR.

OK, so with that out of the way here are just a few reasons to consider joining an established business.

* Everything is set up for you when you get there. By this I mean your website, phone number, graphics and copy are all done, ready for you to get to promoting.

* A payment system is in place. With your own business, collecting what is owed is up to YOU. When you join an already established business, they collect for you and you simply get it.

* Product creation is already done. You don't have to try to come up with a physical product as that is already provided for you. Indeed, regardless of company, this is something you need to make sure of: they must have a product.

* More time with family. When you start up a business from scratch yourself, be prepared to spend a LOT of time on it, sometimes at the expense of family time. With most things already set up for you, you can put your time into promotion and still have time for your family.

Hopefully, you can see that there are definite advantages to joining a business versus starting your own.

Detroit's youth: We'll leave if we have to

If young Detroiters can't find jobs, an exodus could be in the works. But a few say they'll stay and deal with what comes.

Isaiah Brooks: "You got to go where the money is."

Kenneth Rupert: "It's looking like most of the jobs are down south."

The Focus: HOPE school in Detroit once trained machinists for carmakers, but it is branching into different markets as the industry declines.

Frederick Dunbar: "I'm compelled to go wherever my job takes me."

Detroit's Youth: Stay or go?

The young people of Motown have a tough choice: Go where the jobs take them or stick around Detroit and tough it out.

DETROIT (CNNMoney.com) -- Isaiah Brooks expects to graduate soon from Focus: HOPE, a non-profit machinist school in Detroit, where his hopes of getting a job are fading along with the local auto industry.

Machinists are the backbone of automaking, but Brooks might have to leave town to find a job, like many other young people in this city.

"You got to go where the money is," he said during a question and answer session with his classmates at Focus: HOPE. Brooks, 19, is thinking of moving back to his native state of Texas to work as an auto mechanic with his father.

"You can't sit around and wait for an opportunity to happen," he noted. The other students in his class nodded in agreement.

Kenneth Rupert, 19, another machinist-in-training at Focus: HOPE and a former intern for Ford Motor Co., (F, Fortune 500) said he would stay in Detroit if he could find a good job, following in the footsteps of his late grandfather and his uncle, who once worked for the auto industry.

But Rupert said he is feeling the pull of other regions, with stronger job markets. "It's looking like most of the jobs are down South, and most of my family is from South Carolina," he said.

Focus: HOPE was founded in 1981 to provide free training and education to aspiring machinists and engineers, and to feed the workforce of the auto industry, which no longer seems to want them.

"We're finding that the jobs in the auto industry are not there," said Beverly Triplett, job placement supervisor for Focus: Hope. Job placement for program graduates fell to 64% last year, from 85% in 2007, she said. "It's challenging, because you have to make something out of nothing."

Detroit's biggest private employer, General Motors (GM, Fortune 500), plans to reduce its worldwide work force by 37,000 hourly workers and 10,000 salaried workers by the end of the year. The company wouldn't say how many reductions are slated for Motor City, but the impact is inevitable. GM employs some 36,700 workers in Southeast Michigan, out of a worldwide workforce of 243,000.

That's pretty bad news for an already-depressed job market. As of February, the Detroit-Warren-Livonia area was suffering from a 13.6% unemployment rate, the highest of any major metropolitan area in the U.S., according to the most recent figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Improvise, adapt, overcome

Triplett said that Focus: HOPE and its students, including teenagers training for their first jobs and laid-off line workers looking for a career change, are retooling their training to other fields that need machinists and engineers.

Triplett is trying to place three of the school's students at Glass & Mirror Craft in Wixom, which makes products used in architecture and interior design, and is some 40 miles away from Detroit.

Other new fields include refurbishing parts for military equipment and precision manufacturing for the medical industry.

Frederick Dunbar, a married 23-year-old with two children, used to make parts for the auto industry at Mac-Mold Base, Inc. in nearby Romeo. When his 12-hour days dwindled to six hours, he decided to pursue an associate's degree in manufacturing engineering technology at Focus: HOPE. Now, he's learning how to use laser technology to refurbish submarine parts for the Navy. He said he has no intention of returning to the auto industry, and would leave Detroit if a good job beckoned.

"I'm looking at NASA, the Department of Defense, maybe civil engineering," said Dunbar. "Definitely, I feel more secure pursuing a government job. I'm compelled to go wherever my job takes me."

Should I stay or should I go?

Residents' willingness to just pick up and go doesn't bode well for Detroit's economy. But it doesn't have to be that way, according to Alan Clark, 24, who's studying engineering manufacturing at Focus: HOPE. Clark just accepted an engineering job in Detroit at the Pepsi Bottling Group.

"Just because I live in Detroit, I don't have to go to the automotive industry," he said. "The same concepts you use to make a car, believe or not, are the same concepts and principles you use to make a bottle of Pepsi."

College and high school students interviewed by CNNMoney.com offered a wide variety of responses as to whether they would stay in Michigan, with its 12.6% statewide unemployment rate, the highest in the nation.

Alexandra Ritson of Grand Rapids, a 21-year-old senior in the English and Spanish programs at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, said she had accepted a teaching job in Arizona. Considering the Detroit Public Schools' plan to lay off 600 teachers due to its deficit and declining student population, she didn't see much point in getting certified in her home state. "It's one of the hardest states to get a teaching job in the country," she said.

Others see opportunities at home. Samantha Staley, a 22-year-old from Flushing is a senior at Detroit-based Wayne State University, where she's studying pre-medicine and mechanical engineering. Staley said there are plenty of local jobs for doctors, and she has no intention of leaving.

"I'm an optimist," she said. "I see things hopefully turning around. Detroit has a bad rap. But living down here, I actually love Detroit. There's a pride among the people who live here. The feeling is that we know what it's like to struggle, but we can overcome."

Despite Detroit's bad rap, aspiring architect Dyamond Logan, 15, also wants to stay. Through her involvement with the Better Detroit Youth Movement, a non-profit mentoring organization for young people, Logan said she can learn a lesson from a community that has seen better times.

"Challenge and turmoil are a necessity for growth," she said.

The Better Detroit Youth Movement generally meets in a hair salon owned by co-founder Harlan Bivens, but it had to move to a temporary location in a restaurant after the business was burglarized, its front window smashed in and boarded up, but that failed to stop him.

"We have to be the lions in the jungle, versus lions in the cave," said Bivens, who believes it doesn't matter where his work is done, so long as it's out in the community.

Dyamond Logan understands that she may need to leave that community to begin a career as an architect somewhere else, but she intends to return one day.

"In Detroit, I would like to pursue my dreams," she said. "Detroit, as a whole, is our foundation, and you have to help with your foundation."

Who is going to Bail YOU out? Here is a suggestion

I have found a great quote that I send out with every e-mail, it goes like this.... "Heaven never helps the man who will not act." -Sophocles

What this means (to me) is that we need to start taking on "being our own future". Waiting on help, the situation to change, or anything else is not going to cut it.

A lot of people are unemployed, or afraid of being unemployed (I sometimes tremble at my desk, if I am being really honest).

Business are laying off frightening numbers of people every month across all industries. There is no truly safe industry or locale to go to. Banks are not lending to finance small ventures. So the question is: Who is going to bail YOU out?

I have a suggestion: YOU will!!!

I am honestly looking to help people (and yes...me as well) to be in action around their future.

Feel free to give my number out (313) 585-4624 and forward widely!

First: I am making no unreasonable guarantees or promises. I am simply saying that Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing is a great opportunity, a great compensation plan and low entry costs, plus we have USABLE products that fit just about every lifestyle and need.

My website is below:

Visit: http://www.charlesprimas.com (To see products and services offered)

Visit: http://www.detroitbusinesstoday.net (To view a few online presentations about the business)

I would like to invite some people to some established meetings in the Detroit Metro Area. The meetings are completely free of charge and no obligation. Please let me know if you or anyone wants to attend.

And again: Please forward widely to anyone you think might be interested in this.

Finally: What I feel I compelled to share now with whoever reads this about MOST sucessful people in this industry are this:

1.) They are realistic about what to expect. They understand it is a business and that success is not a guarantee and you need to work at it....and sometimes VERY Hard!
2.) They understand that it might be a while before they start making "real money"

With these uncertain times, it is vital to build up the financial resources necessary to secure yourself.

Please contact me for more information or if interested.

Elizabeth residents seek network marketing for financial help

Elizabeth residents seek network marketing for financial help
By Ashley Dieterle

After a significant pay decrease in the family, an Elizabeth woman decided to find her own route in making extra money for her family.

Like many people in the country dealing with pay-cuts and layoffs, Jamilyn Anthony geared her direction to earn money in the network marketing business selling Pampered Chef. She and other women in her community are working to build a support network to help one another and their business. Anthony said the other women have opted for network marketing businesses also because of financial hardships.

Network marketing businesses or multilevel businesses have become increasingly popular recently. According to Direct Sales Association only 9.7 million people were considered independent sales people compared to 15 million in 2007. There are advantages and disadvantages to this type of a business, but it is apparent that more and more people are being drawn to the business.

Networking marketing is a business that allows a person to choose the product he or she wants to sell and the work schedule. It is a multi-level business that pays people for sales generated by other people who have been recruited into the distribution network below them. Each person involved is able to sell their products at their own pace, but also benefit from the sales of others.For Anthony, her choice for Pampered Chef was easy — she loves to cook. After selling the product about 10 years ago it was easy for her to jump back into the flow of things. After her husband took a pay cut, her family could no longer afford the extra things in life.
“We were able to pay our bills, but if something else comes up it was really tough,” she said.
The main reason Anthony went the Pampered Chef route was because she loves the product and after experience with owning her one private business, this direction was much easier. She said she does not have to hire any employees and she can work when she feels like working. She said learning about the products is not hard and neither is finding people who are interested in the products. Each week ranges in the amount of shows she works, but said she typically makes $50 an hour.

Anthony said it is important for a person to love the product they sell because that is the only way great success will happen. A person must also be self-motivated and willing to get out there and schedule shows and recruit other people interested in being part of the Pampered Chef family.

“You really have to share the business opportunities with others who might want to join,” she said. “But you really have to put in the time especially if you’re at home where there can be a lot of distractions.”

Leah Walker is another person in Elizabeth using network marketing as a residual income for her family. She first started selling products for Arbonne International in 2007 as a way to earn extra money, not knowing how important that business would be down the road. Recently her husband took a $1,000 a month pay cut, leaving their family in a rough spot. After family issues in 2007, Walker was forced to take a break from her business, but is now happy she has the opportunity in her back pocket.

“Before I stopped I was making more money working part-time selling Arbonne products as my husband was working full-time before he took the cut,” she said. “It was great knowing the business never goes away.”

Walker is a firm believer that people using network marketing can be successful as long as they know their product and are willing to talk to people.

“You have to get out there and be a people person and build relationships,” she said.
Although Anthony and Walker have been successful so far with her network marketing business, not all who get involved will prosper.

According to co-author of “The Virtual Handshake: Opening Doors and Closing Deals Online and the Emergence of the Relationship Economy” and 20-year veteran technology entrepreneur, executive, and consultant Scott Allen, there are certain people who are definitely not right for a network marketing position.

According to an article Allen wrote for About.com people with certain characteristics may be attracted to network marketing, but will not end up being successful.

People who have not done well in their business or profession and have little money saved up to invest, have no previous experience owning or running a business, have no previous experience in sales, have little or no experience developing business relationships other than that of employer/employee/co-worker, are not satisfied with their level of income and have unrealistic expectations of the amount of work involved compared to the revenue realized may have trouble with network marketing.

As a result, he says these people may end up over-selling the opportunity inappropriately, discussing business in social situations, coming across as desperate over-focused on new recruits and neglecting existing customers as a result being either inaccurate or deceptive when talking about their business.

But Allen says there is a first time for everything and network marketing is a venue people can explore, but need to remember to treat network marketing as a business and learn from others with more experience.
