10. Would I enjoy doing this business?

The home based business which is largely made up of the network marketing industry is basically a people business and that is why Robert Kiyosaki wrote a book on it and gave it this title: The Business School For People Who Like Helping People. I highly recommend this book to everyone who has an interest in starting their home-based business. I have also written three books on network marketing and they are: Break Free! – there is a better way to earn a living, Why Network Marketing? and How To Be Successful In Network Marketing. I have also written a simple ebook to educate the public on how to start their home-based  business.
