My name is Bob Schwartz, publisher of Home Business Advertiser.

I must tell you that I am absolutely thrilled that you are, or want to be your own boss. Home Business Advertiser (HBA) has really helped improve my life and my family’s life, and I know it can improve yours too!

Please let me explain. A little over 15 years ago, I was working 2nd and 3rd shift (swing shifts) at a chemical/paint factory in Belvidere, New Jersey. I was making about $12 an hour, so working enough overtime (50 hours a week) I was making a little over $30,000 a year. It wasn’t hard work, but there were a lot of things I didn’t like about the job. The chemicals we worked with were extremely hazardous and required us to use protective clothing (rubber gloves, aprons, goggles, etc.) Also, there were even more harmful chemicals that required the use of a protective breathing respirator. (I never felt very comfortable wearing those darn respirators!)
