Hopefully you have some money in the bank to cover the basics, like food, shelter and clothes. Some people have no choice but to make the best of it, I think it's a tough way to go if you don't have anything to fall back on. But many people have made fantastic incomes by taking the plunge. I have a blog for anyone looking for tips on how to improve sales. http://marketinglistbroker.com/direct-marketing-ideas-close-more-sales/ Tim Little Publisher, MarketingListBroker.com Joanna,
