How Own Your Channel Helps to Give More Financial Security in Tough Economy i

How Own Your Channel Helps to Give More Financial Security in Tough Economy

My interest is in the future because I am going to spend the rest of my life there." Kettering

Recently I read an excellent article by Brian Tracy about Creating Your Own Security. Several points were made that were frightening about a future that is no longer safely predictable. The realization dawned that my family’s financial future with Own Your Channel was not so daunting.

Here are some of the worthwhile points to ponder:

  • Change is increasing and happening in unexpected ways..but how can you keep earning money..no matter what
  • You can't do much about what's happening. But you can -- and should -- think seriously about what all this change means in terms of your financial security.
  • One of the greatest mistakes you can make -- the one with the worst long-term consequences -- is to think only about the present and give very little thought to your ability to make a good living in the years ahead.
  • Today, a person entering the workforce can expect to have five careers between the ages of 21 and 65, and 14 full-time jobs lasting two years or more.
  • 40 percent of American employees in the 21st century will be "contingency" workers (Fortune Magazine). This means that they will never work permanently for any company. They will continue to move from job to job, earning less money than full-time employees and accruing few, if any, benefits.
  • Imagine what your job will look like five years from now. What you already know -- your accumulated knowledge and experience -- is becoming obsolete bit by bit, day by day. Knowledge in your field is probably doubling every five years.
  • It costs a company approximately double your salary to employ you -- in terms of their investment in space, benefits, and other resources. And of course, they have to make a profit on top of that. Therefore, what you contribute to your company's bottom line must be considerably greater than the amount you are receiving... or you will find yourself unemployed.
  • Your most valuable assets are continuous self-improvement. You need to position yourself to develop the skills you need to be a producitive part of the economy no matter what direction it goes in.

In other words, what is your plan for your financial future?


Own Your Channel has simplified my plan with brilliant logic and multiple streams of income. My personal economy has stabilized.


And part of the brilliance is I don’t have to spend years and hundreds or thousands of dollars to participate and develop these business skills or financial potential. I plug into the proven concepts of leverage (share an expert’s message), duplication (simple marketing plan that everyone can do) and residual commissions (handsome rewards for sharing the message)


I invite people to listen to a compelling video and/or webinar. I ask the simple question: Have you ever seen anything like this before?


And it even provides the most superlative self-development training. What if, I share with new prospects and team members these simple affirmations to be said on a daily basis. Just think, isn't this the most amazing business training you can offer anyone:


..excerpted from Brian Tracy's The 100 Absolutely Unbreakable Laws of Business Success


I believe every person has within themselves inexhaustible reserves of potential they have never even come close to realizing.


I believe each person has far more intelligence than they have ever used.


I believe each person is more creative than he or she has ever imagined.


I believe the greatest achievements of your life lie ahead of you.


I believe the happiest moments of your life are yet to come.


I believe the greatest successes you will ever attain are still waiting for you on the road ahead.


And, I believe through learning and application of what you learn, you can solve any problem, overcome any obstacle and achieve any goal that you can set for yourself.




My family's future has never looked more exciting. My gratitude is boundless for a simple home business system that everyone can do and a self-belief system that focuses on the positives. There are no regrets or excuses. What about yours?

How Own Your Channel Makes Me a Better Networker, and it can help your success,too

How Own Your Channel makes me a better network marketer, and it can help your success, too





I just came across a statement signed “with love” from a networker praising his mentor for his video which lasted 77 minutes and resulted in his writing 3 pages of notes!


What’s the next step..passing this information to a friend or prospect and expecting him or her to repeat the “love message,” watch the long video and arduously take notes as well.


Is this what creating and supporting a home business team is all about?


Been there, done that, and only a few hardy souls ventured into this kind of hard-to-duplicate downline.

Now that I have the foresight and good fortune to be part of the independent Own Your Channel, I would never inflict that kind of programming on anyone again.


Own Your Channel has opened two main considerations for all networkers:


1. How do we sponsor a team member?


2. What does it mean to be part of a team?



First, how do we sponsor a team member?


We invite people to join their own independent home business team.


The cost is $9 a month ($24 initial set up fee for back office set-up)


The emphasis is on a better lifestyle and more time freedom and financial security. At this point, it’s not about products, companies, payplans, bonuses, testimonials


We ask some basic questions and listen to why people are looking for a change..

1. How serious are you about doing something better with your life? ...Very ...Maybe ....Not


Would you put your family’s life on hold for $9 a month?


2. Here are 2 videos to watch....introductory...whole story.
 Have you ever seen anything like this before?


3. Do you know 3 other people also interested in good health and making some extra money from home…

Second, what does it mean to be part of a supportive home business team?

Network marketing is the only home business model that allows every person who wants a successful home business to start with minimal capital and earn residual profits based on leverage and duplication.


However, as can be seen by the opening statement..this fundamentally equal home-based opportunity for every body can be severely challenged by complicated, expensive, time-consuming information overload that simply can’t be replicated by regular everyday people busy making a living.


But don’t we also deserve an equal chance at a simple home business with the potential for fortune and freedom?


…we need to address doubts and depressions about an uncertain economy


…we have simple tools…phone, computer, handshake, smile


…we have people skills and empathy to help others


…we can learn new skills and reflect on goals, improvement and dreams


…we can experience a simple to follow system without volumes of details


…we believe in asking, giving, sharing and receiving


My wish for my team members is not long arduous videos and pages of notes followed by more internet “magnetic branding” exercises.


My wish for my team members is to listen to each other…to recognize each other with stories of success..to believe in winning together..to inspire a personal empowerment in all areas of living.


Network marketing companies give us the vehicle by which to make money..but it is our team spirit and dreams that drive it.


Denis Waitley says the best credo for building a home business team…


The five most important words a leader can speak are: “I am proud of you.”


The four most important are: “What is your opinion?”


The three most important are: “If you please.”


The two most important are: “Thank you.”


And the most important single word of all is: “You!”


This Own Your Channel opportunity has opened a new world of friendships, partnerships and prosperity. It starts with a simple question: How serious are you about doing something better with your life and family’s life?


Watch the videos. Guaranteed..you will not look at another network marketing opportunity the same way again. Your comments and questions are always welcome.

How to Go from Clutter to Clarity in Network Marketing Home Business

How to go from Clutter to Clarity in network marketing home business



I’m moving on up..from clutter to clarity in my network markting home business in both a physical and a mental space.


I am physically moving from my downstairs home office to a new upstairs office that now adjoins a new backyard deck and patio.


In the process of moving, I’m also sorting and eliminating a lot of paper work. A lot of learning..but not much earning.


Do I regret all the paper work once managed? Not really, beause it has provided a solid foundation about network marketing principles and practices. Somewhat, because I could have spent more time with family and friends.


Would I recommend anybody else to follow or duplicate these calls, notes, downloads, research, training, manuals and binders full of transcriptions?


Never, not now... because I fully embrace the clarity and liberty with Own Your Channel.


Here is an example.


One turquoise blue binder about 4 inches thick held the majority of the main categories of notes. At one time, I thought a one-binder home business was actually a selling feature. Now it is one website and one video. Things are moving on up for everyone to participate in this wonderful business..binder or not. All you really need is a phone, a computer and a desire for something better or you and your family..


Here is a quick summation of my old “basement” home business plan (5 years in the making)...and this is just the first 2 pages!


...5 steps Getting Started Checklist for new enrollees


...Goal Sheet and Mission Statement (1 to 5 years)


...procedures for Profit Bonus Center Systems (12 variables..which works best for you)


...link for audio training (Word Document) if missed calls (each is one hour in duration..200 calls approx.


...60 second script to memorize (more like 5 minutes)


...System, Strategy, Marketing, Leadership modules and manuals


...overview corporate team presentations…know your product and testimonials


...six month wealth creation and debt elimination plan (OK..this was important to review)


...retailing strategy


...Diamond Team Resource List (private team site, private coaching, cutting edge technology, “hottest” leads in the industry, personal development systems, and much more)


The cover letter concludes with…”There is a ton of information here..but don’t worry…the great thing about this business is you have a sponsor and team to back you up, and be there every step of the way to insure your success.” Ever wonder why so many people give up in this industry between the time it takes to sponsor new people and then the time it takes to train them? Sounds like trading one full-time job for another. I know networkers who work 10 to 12 hours a day..is this the time freedom we search for or advocate for others?




If you feel burdened with an overload of "stuff", I  welcome you to also be enlightened with Own Your Channel...and the one and only team you will ever have to build.


My new “upstairs” home business plan is uncluttered and uncomplicated with no stringy cobwebs of information. It is simple with “sunny” mass appeal that everyone can do...the true foundation of network marketing.


I enjoy talking with real people and asking 3 simple questions:


1. Are you serious, really serious, about doing something different to improve your lifestyle and your family’s?


2. Are you able to watch two videos..5 minutes introduction and/or 37 minutes whole story?


3. Do you know 3 people who are also interested or serious about improving their lifestyle?


This is a call to action for all networkers to move on up from old to new, from drudgery to brilliance, from winter to spring...from 5 years of effort to 5 minutes of education.


Your questions and comments are always appreciated.
