Opportunities to work from the comfort of your own home are everywhere these days. From vague ads on job-search websites to flyers and signs posted along main street America promising the ability to "Earn money in your Pajamas!" or "Work from the comfort of your own home!" Unfortunately, these opportunities are - more often than not - too good to be true. After all, if it was that easy to earn money by sitting behind your computer screen, wouldn't everyone be doing it? However, too good to be true business "opportunities" might be a dime a dozen, there are viable paths to take when it comes to starting a profitable home based business. One of those paths that continues to find more and more leverage is that of the corporate cost reducer.
It might as well be said now. There really is no magic opportunity that will return six figures without any hard work. There has never been one, nor will there ever be. However, there are opportunities that are ripe for driven individuals interested in working independently. So if you want to set your hour and you're ready to set your sights high and go for it - some of these opportunities might fit the bill for you.
One of the approaches to actually attaining the "work from home" lifestyle has continually evolved over the years, but it hasn't lost its place as one of the timeless ways to work from home, offer a service, and get paid for it. That specific approach is corporate cost reduction.
Regardless of the economic climate, businesses like supermarkets, restaurants, hotels, hospitals, and just about any institution that serves or sells food in any capacity has to deal with a tremendous amount of waste. That waste needs to be disposed of, which isn't free. To think of it as simply as possible, waste truly does equal waste. However, instead of losing money by paying to dispose of waste, businesses can approach the problem from a different perspective and do "optimize" that business' waste stream, making it smaller, more cost efficient, and saving the business more than they might have thought possible. One recent study even estimated that Americans throw away as much as $165 billion a year when it comes to wasted food, and some of the biggest offenders may not even realize there is something they can do to reduce what's wasted. In fact, some of the most egregious wasters of food tend to be grocery stores and restaurant. Grocery stores alone throw out an estimated $15 billion worth of unsold produce alone every year. This is usually written off as the cost of doing business, however - does it need to be that way? By reducing that waste by half, businesses everywhere could save a great deal, and new home based businesses across the country are helping them do it.
