The tax filing season just ended (unless you got an extension) for many and you make have from money burning a whole in your pockets. So what do you do with this money?

.

For some it means:

1. Pay off or on some debt
2. Take a trip
3. Go on a shopping spree and so on…

.

Most people use their refund money in ways that I will not call bad, but is there a better way to use the money?

.

On Monday, April 15 Yahoo had an article entitled “6 Smart Ways to Spend Your Tax Refund.” Now while they did give you some ways to blow (oops did I say blow) your money, I think they missed one option that is generally always over looked.

.

What if you took the money and “STARTED YOUR OWN SMALL BUSINESS.” If could be something small to start. If you went through the “How to make money on demand” posts on this site, your mind should be generating ideas all the time. All you have to do is pick one that you can start.

.

Other small businesses you could get  involved with are direct sells or even network marketing. Many people  call them pyramid schemes but most are not. Your “job” is a pyramid scheme because you are not ever going to make more than your boss but in network marketing you can make more money that the person that shared the business with you. You may say you are not a sells person, well most network marketing companies has systems in place to help you with this so YOU don’t have to be a sells person.

.

The bottom line is, instead of spending your money on “stuff”, why not invest it in yourself and your future. You can better your financial future if YOU make some changes and better decisions.

If you have not read our series of posts on “How to Make Money On Demand“, I encourage you to do so.
