How Numbers Justify Your Network Marketing Home Business - Rational Reality
So what is the relevance of numbers to a home business? Let's consider three important scenarios.
SCENARIO ONE: Here's the big problem with numbers when you work at a job.
As an employee you work at a job that may average 40 hours, 5 days per week, 52 weeks per year. That's a total of 2080 hours per year that you have traded in as services for the boss.
Now let's look at a typical company boss who has 50 employees working 8 hours per day, 5 days per week, 52 weeks per year. This adds up to a total of 104,000 hours worked per year on behalf of his' company. He may have worked 2000 hours or less if he also happened to enjoy fishing or golfing.
Imagine working another 40 years building the boss' dream and retiring with 40% less money than when you worked full time.
How fair do you think that is? Would you want that kind of leverage? Have you ever done that math?
The wealthy have been benefiting from such a strategy for centuries investing a couple hours a day.
Let's say you and your team can build an organization of 100 people who worked just 1 hour a day, 5 days a week, and 52 weeks a year. That would amass to 26000 hours that you could benefit from. If you wanted to get that much work done by yourself you would need to work 3250 8-hour days or nearly 9 years!
However, using leverage you worked one hour and so did your organization. Now, just think, what if those people worked 2 hours per day?
What are your chances to get that much work done in a "linear - job style" income scenario?
Now what if those 100 people had the authority to hire 1 new person next month, and then all of those 200 people worked 2 hours a day for 5 days a week over 52 weeks a year?
Do you see why the rich get richer?
Do the math, and decide if your only source of money is caught in a linear income TRAP.
Time leverage is a beautiful thing.
Knowledge leverage is a beautiful thing. You don't have to spend years becoming an expert in your field. You can share the expertise with a video or webinar. People either get it what top masterminds are saying or not.
Here's an example:
SCENARIO TWO: Most network marketing compensation plans are based on multiple levels of residual income.
Here is a typical example for a 6 month cash-flow projection. This really made a personal impact.
Let's say as a serious networker, you enroll 4 new members per month for 6 months at $25 commission per member.
New members per month: 4 x 6 = 24 new members on Level One.
$25 per member commission = $600 per month after 6 months on Level One.
Let's assume the 80/20 rule for your new members now on your Level Two.
20% of new members will be above average and sponsor 10 new members over 6 months.
20% of 24 new members = 5 (approx) x 10 = 50 new members on your Level Two.
(The assumption here is average sign-up rate of the 20% folks is about 2 per month).
80%, or the balance of your new members, just sign up 5 new members over 6 month period.
That's 19 X 5 = 95 new members for a total of 195 new members on your second level.
Total new members on your second level based on 20% results + 80% results.
Now, here is your TOTAL monthly residual earnings: $2550 after 6 months.
24 new members on Level One = 24 x $25/month = $600.
195 new members on Level Two = 195 x $10/month = $1950.
Now, here's the BIG financial question: What is the equivalent amount of money you would need in your savings account to earn the same (assuming a 2% interest rate)?
You would need about $1, 500,000!
Again, you don't have to be a mastermind to see how these numbers work.
SCENARIO 3: The most dangerous number for personal economy is ONE.
It's a simple fact that any business lives and dies by numbers. But have you ever thought that the most dangerous number to any business is the number 1. What does that mean?
Well, nothing can hurt you MORE than relying on ONE of anything.
Can you rely on one job or one income and think it is perfectly secure? Are you still programmed to think if you have a "good job," this means long-term support and ultimate security?
Now, what if you lose that job? Your income is gone and your situation becomes precarious. Your family is vulnerable.You may be forced to do things you don't want to.
This is one important reason to have a home business, especially today, as people try to ride the current economy like a roller coaster. It is a very good idea to have a job AND a work-at-home business on the side, so you have more financial defenses and aren't so vulnerable. You can use the business income to help weather the storm in a worst case scenario. With the right business opportunity, you may even amaze yourself at its simple system for success and enjoy time and money freedom at home.
In summary, this valuable article has looked at three scenarios that make sense using numbers in justifying a network marketing or MLM home business. Numbers are rationale and logical and do not permit irrational excuses.

How To Build Your Personal Economy With 5 Main Blocks Of Change
Would it not be better if you were in control of what you do and how much you are paid? Well, of course it would be better. You can start to regain control of your life, your freedoms and your financial well-being with a home based business. Learn the benefits of time freedom and lifestyle choices, how to leverage time and money, how technology will benefit you, and much more. It's time you took back control of your life and started making decisions that benefit you and your family.
Undoubtedly, you may have read these kinds of statements and, perhaps, they raised some concerns. But also, perhaps, there was some confusion because there was no clear direction what to do next to remediate some of these concerns.
One of the best lessons to use when contemplating important and complex facts is to DRAW A CONCEPT MAP. A volume of words is reduced to a simple diagram with connections and resolutions are easier to see and plan. I sincerely hope you get a pencil or pen and DO this exercise…getting a web of ideas on paper will make a difference, guaranteed.
Start by drawing a stick figure to represent YOU. Now you will draw a set of blocks beside you, one at a time, each labeled with a different reason for a strong personal economy. Inside each block note the keywords.
Draw BLOCK # 1: Label it TIME FLEXIBILITY.
Have you ever noticed that there always seems to be a trade-off between the journey for success and the price you and your loved ones end up paying for it? It's always been more time pursuing money, less time for everything else.
Believe it or not, many people want MORE TIME to do what they enjoy in their life, as much as they want more money…especially busy professionals.
The typical job, business, or corporate ladder may NOT provide the time freedom you are ultimately pursuing.
Home-based businesses, using the power of technology and the Internet, can give you MORE time.
Think about it… would you rather work your life around your business or the other way around….work your business around your life?
KEYWORDS: busy, more time, home-based business.
Draw BLOCK #2: Label it LEVERAGE.
Most employers understand Leverage. If you're an employer, you leverage the work of your employees.
Today's NEW style of home-based business is also all about leverage.
In a home- based business you can leverage Technology to maximize your efforts. The individual can enjoy the same type of leverage traditionally available to select groups of people.
You can leverage your efforts through strategic relationships to create unlimited monthly residual income. This is where the Internet has really changed business in the last couple of years. Smart people harness the power of Today's Technology in their home business. You can now work at home with today's low cost technology that gives you all the capabilities of a large corporation.
The Internet is completely changing how people are doing business. It allows you to work all types of business from home to anywhere in the world and make VERY good money doing it.Once you learn how to apply these two principles to your NEW style of home based business, your only regret will be that someone didn't show you how to do this sooner.
KEYWORDS: technology, internet.
Draw BLOCK #3: Label it LIFESTYLE.
Do you have a lifestyle now that really turns you on? Did you forget that a great lifestyle was even possible? Most people don't have the lifestyle they want. And most have forgotten that's even possible.
Lifestyle is about living where you want to live and having the money to do the things you really enjoy when you want to do them.
A successful home business allow you to design your life on your terms… everything from where you live, to what you do, and even how much you make. It's all in your control.
Most of us only need a phone and the computer to connect with our business… and we can get connected just about anywhere!
KEYWORDS: design your life, phone, computer.
DRAW BLOCK #4: Label it TAXES.
If you're a W-2 earner, you'll want to pay attention here!
Most people are not aware that by having a home-based business they are entitled to many substantial tax deductions. This could make a significant difference in their lifestyle without increasing their overall income.
When you understand how it works, you'll see that the tax code offers home based business owners 157 legitimate tax deductions while the typical W-2 earner only gets 3. In essence, you're nuts if you don't pursue building a profitable home business.
KEYWORDS: 157 Tax Deductions, Income, Nuts.
Draw BLOCK # 5: Label it FINANCIAL FREEDOM.
OK here's a tough one.
Unless you have a financial vehicle that let's you increase your income on demand, you are just an indentured servant, no matter how fancy your title or how many degrees you have.
What would happen if you asked your boss for this type of a raise…maybe a few hundred or a few thousand next month? What would the boss be saying? Would you even have a job after that?
So, here's the reality. Could you earn an extra $1,000-$2,000 a month next month if you wanted to? What if you wanted to increase your income $5,000 a month within the next 90 days, could you do it right where you are?
Do you have bills you can't pay off? Could you support yourself indefinitely, if for some reason, you lost your job?
If not, you are in FINANCIAL BONDAGE.
The NEW style of home-based business can give you the financial vehicle to break free of those chains. It allows you to start part-time and work within your schedule.
But financial freedom is not only about having money. You may already make a lot of money. If so, are you mired down with employees, regulations, corporate politics and glass ceilings?
Have you sacrificed the quality things in life, trying to achieve something that was not there when you arrived? It does not matter how much money you make, if you have to give up YOUR LIFE just to get it. Then your income is solely determined by your desire and effort.
KEYWORDS: income, bondage, quality life.
Now look at all the ideas you have put together on one page. Draw lines to interconnect them. Most importantly, draw lines or arrows connecting YOU. Add a star beside ideas that are really important to you. Add more words that have personal meanings. Tape it on your fridge. I hope you share some of your thoughts.
TIME FLEXIBILITY
LEVERAGE
LIFESTYLE
TAX REFUNDS
FINANCIAL FREEDOM
The NEW style of home-based business can give you ALL THIS.
IT'S ALL ABOUT EDUCATION but keep it simple. What is the Information Economy?
IT'S ALL ABOUT SELF-EMPOWERMENT to be your best. Why it's important to me and how can I achieve it?
Just keep it simple. IT'S ALL ABOUT MANAGEABLE CHANGE.
Follow a 3-STEPS PLAN.
Repeat 4 successful words I CAN DO IT!
Please watch this extraordinary webinar and get back to me with questions and comments. I look forward to sharing your concept map and how we can help.

Meet The 21st Century Network Marketer With 8 Power Steps For Success
There is an exciting brand of network marketer in this New Age rising from the basement of old network marketing companies. The new networker is embracing a laser-focus single Big Idea that cuts through the clutter of everything that can divert the prospects' attention. And the prospects for the first time in their mind can see an insatiable clear picture of living life on their terms.
Gone, buried as sad experiences and archived are the stultified ways of Old Age MLM home business. Who needs multiple autoshipments, meticulously complicated pay plans, mandatory product knowledge and the frustratingly mad pursuit of other distributors not so eager to duplicate an unmanageable heavy-duty workhorse.
A brand new core concept for network marketing has emerged that makes any other competition irrelevant because the issues have been resolved upfront and excuses have been removed. However, the 3 main principles of network marketing continue intact, powerful and productive; namely, the power of leverage, the duplication of a simple marketing plan and the benefits of a residual or royalty income.
The enlightened networker can now incorporate eight powerful steps to share an exciting different kind of home-based opportunity that is plugged into the internet's future major trends.
Part One looks at the new characteristics of the future networkers and entrepreneurs.
Part Two outlines a perfect home business program that fits this new reality.
Power Step One: Present Something Of New Value Not Heard Of Before.
It is time to cut through the promotional clutter with an offering that stops people in their tracks. This is a new technology, a marketing breakthrough to get a desired result. Ultimately it has a new value that your prospects haven't seen or been aware of before.
Power Step Two: Be the First to Present An Original Big Idea.
Everyone likes to find out about a new secret or a hidden discovery that others don't know about. It's a form of social currency, feeling like you know some good news that others don't know. It's a first to market advantage and a better way of achieving your financial goals.
Power Step Three: Help Prospects Reach Their Goals.
Ultimately, your core concept isn't about your product or service. It's about your prospects. It's about paying careful attention to their beliefs, feelings, and desires, meeting their needs, and improving their lives.
Power Step Four: Make It A Bold And Striking Breakthrough.
This is a major shift in thinking that does not support a mild interesting let-me-think-about-it viewpoint. Your prospects' response should be, "What did you say? Please tell me more...Right now!" They already connect the benefits in their lives and just want to find out more.
Power Step Five: Be Supported by Proof.
People want the testimonials of others who have achieved the results they also want. Most have heard the logical argument that depending on a boss for your lifestyle goals has problems. But they want real peoples' stories of self-employment or self- generated personal incomes. If they can do it, so can I.
Power Step Six: Be Easy to Explain, Simple To Do and Even Easier For Your Prospects To Grasp.
The Big Idea needs to be stated in a sentence or two. Remember, everybody these days is overloaded and overwhelmed. So in order to break through the mental fog in your prospects' minds, it's got to feel to be easy and simple. In fact, your prospects should be able to easily restate your Big Idea in their own minds or words in a minute or two. That'll only happen if it's easy for them to grasp.
Power Step Seven: Abdicate from Previous Failures And Avoid Excuses.
Make sure your prospects understand it wasn't their fault for not succeeding in the past or getting stuck in a poor job. Traditional network marketing has been overly complicated and difficult for average people to duplicate in order to make residual profits. This new model is different and when done correctly with 3 steps, failures are minimized and successes are maximized.
Power Step Eight: Deliver Better, Faster, Cheaper Value to Prospects.
The company, affiliation, service or product will give your prospects their desired result either better, faster, more cheaply, or with more certainty of success than any other alternative. This way, your product or service really becomes the default choice, and your prospects would need to be certifiably insane to pass up on what you're offering.
PART TWO: So how does The Shopping Genie meet all these criteria for this New Network Marketing Powerhouse…let me say, with perfection and admiration.
Step 1: VALUE. Compare prices…save and shop online or offline...never pay full price again for anything.
Step 2: FIRST. My Shopping Genie is a four year old company…well established…top Alexa ranking…but still a relatively new enterprise.
Step 3: HELP. People want to save money in a tight economy. You get access to millions of sales, discounts, coupons and free offers. Who wants to throw their money away or ever pay full price again?
Step 4: BOLD BENEFITS. Compare best deals in seconds...rides on top of major search engines...make Pay Per Click Income even without a team.
Step 5: TESTIMONIALS. Listen to shoppers who saved hundreds of dollars monthly and more. Why not your family? Also, hear about how much distributors are making and the extraordinary potential of getting paid nine ways.
Step 6: SIMPLE. The Business Plan has 3 Steps every one can do. Can you share a number, invite to a webinar, and do a live demo on the computer to show the kind of savings and earnings your prospects can make?
Step 7: NO EXCUSES. No cost to download and enjoy savings.Let professionals tell and sell the benefits. Keep it simple 3 Steps Plan.
Step 8: BETTER and FASTER. Who do you know wants to save money? Who do you know wants to make money…no need to change habits, subsidize training, or spend money up front to try it out.
In summary, My Shopping Genie is a recession proof, no-brainer home business for our modern times. The major trends are information distribution and online advertising, shopping and saving. You still may say "nay" but not because you failed to check out an important webinar.
My sincere hope for you and your family is to register for the webinar today so you have the chance to learn about ALL the benefits of My Shopping Genie such as co-branding for small business owners and fund-raising for non-profit organizations.
The dawning of a new generation of networkers is a beautiful thing to behold and welcome, finally, a fair and democratic home business opporrtunity for every family.

The Tiger Woods Saga and MLM Home Business..3 Similarities and ONE Huge Difference
Everybody seems to have an opinion about the Tiger Woods scandal…even the Stock Market fell into a lull for 13 minutes as Tiger made his first public appearance and apology in 3 months. For me, the main interest was the psychology of why people behave contrary to their belief systems and the inherent right to learn from their mistakes and get a second chance
The more I thought about this human drama, the more I was struck by certain similarities.
1. The GAME and BUSINESS MODEL
The game of golf remains constant and true to its principles. It continues to exist within the spectrum of personal victories and failures of golfers. There will always be golfers striving for recognition and beating their personal best within rules and protocol.
The MLM industry model…its main concepts and functions will continue into the future within the range of millionaire, poor, new or veteran networkers who strive to make it work as well as they hope to. If goals do not work out as planned, we, as entrepreneurs, have the right to change the rules to better meet changing times.
2. THE MESSAGE
One sincere explanation will be believed or not believed. His apology for his behavior will be received and dissected in as many diverse ways as possible by people with as many diverse viewpoints, including those who may not even play the game or have working knowledge. Those with secondary agendas will step from the shadows and try to capitalize from his fame and fortune.
It happens when trying to explain the Network Marketing Business Model. Some will take a pitch...some will cry foul and some will hit amazing home runs! Some people have no experience, or a bad experience or base their understanding on hearsay. Entitlement or entrenchment is not the channel to make judgments and decisions. In fact, any voluntary, on-the-spot act can produce irreversible results that may take a lifetime to erase.
3. PERSONAL CHOICES
We all need to find our “core values” as we travel a personal journey. Character will decide the direction of the game. It starts with practice and vision to improve and meet individual goals. It includes personal responsibility and respect for team members.
Similarly, people can choose not to see the potential of this home business model based on only 3 simple principles: message, marketing and residual income. Some close the window of opportunity and find fault with the industry, not themselves or lack of training or consistency.
4. PERSONAL CHALLENGE
Herein lies the biggest difference…in most sports…individual excellence is based on a combination of natural talent, dedication, practice and vision.
In network marketing, excellence comes from LEVERAGE.
In other words, you don’t have to spend years of self-sacrifice, training and expense to become the best you can be. You become the messenger and share information by an expert via a webinar or DVD. Imagine if a Tiger Woods double could take all your golf shots!
Imagine if a successful CEO can do all your presentations?
WHAT WE DON’T KNOW CAN HURT US FINANCIALLY.
Of course, many questions remain about Tiger Woods:
How long will his rehabilitation take?
How long before he gets back to playing great golf?
In the same way..networkers have questions. Nobody wants to do something that doesn’t work. The track record for networker success is not very encouraging.
How long before a networker can make some serious money?
What kind of training do I need to make this work for me?
Here’s a personal invitation to you…will you take it, leave it, assume you know, deflect or blame it on someone else?
Remember. Your championship word is LEVERAGE. Listen to this compelling video. Then call me to discuss your questions and opinions. We are here to help and support you. Life is a competition but our team is about co-operation and paying it forward.
In the meantime, I wish the best for Tiger Woods...He is a prodigy with human conditions who has transformed the game of golf. He has a long road to climb with serious crosses to bear and I wish him and his family faith, healing and happiness.
Standing by to help,
Annemarie
In the meantime, if you feel that parts of MLM do not work..let the facts speak for themselves. The facts are, there are 49.9 million people in direct sales that sell 89.2 billion dollars in sales. There are 475,000 new distributors joining each week. Check out the Own Your Channel video now and choose to see what is truly in front of you.

How to Follow the True Majority Nature of Network Marketing Home Business with OYC...
Once in awhile something crosses my desk that is so self-serving and madly contrary to what the true nature of this home business of network marketing is all about. It must be rebutted to show people an alternative, more compassionate inroad to this great home business. Thoughts and words are where people first start to agree or disagree about changing their own belief system. What if certain words will only help to close your mind, underrate and confuse you? Why not, let other words stand in service to your true potential and open your mind?.
Let’s first look at what a few network marketers proclaim. They commonly advertise themselves as the top dogs...the alpha leaders...that others want to follow. Huge advertising campaigns buy many internet marketing audiences and sometimes, it seems, its only their show biz pitch you hear. They offer programs to magnetize your personality...to tap into the phenomenon of an alpha male or female worthy of pursuit by countless wanna-bees. The image of a James Bond looks out with steely gaze and bravado confidence as you are led to think that every successful networker should assume a James Bond role (image and all).
For example, here are some of the benefits of their training (paraphrased some longer statements..I couldn’t make this up if I tried )
- become naturally attractive...radiate confidence and focus your energies on achieving your goals
- get a strong frame so others are sucked into your reality of what’s possible
- have a lot of rules that others must follow when they are around you
- everyone wants to work with you because you authorize your own hosting, lead generation and marketing campaigns
- love and respect your body, dress with style, and live healthy lifestyles
- show integrity and not tolerate disrespect or in fact ignore persons who don’t follow you
…and, get the hottest girls if you’re an Alpha male…I’m really not making this up..
The program is about attracting Alpha Leaders..you are either in their exclusive club or you are called another name, the Betas. These people are described as having “little confidence or value to offer others, so they simply flock to those who do have it in hopes that it will rub off. They are essentially, “unsure” of themselves, or still uncomfortable with the idea of being a leader. They typically live life in a state of “reaction”, where life events and other people dictate their rules and reality. It’s usually someone else’s fault. Beta entrepreneurs cannot exist..only Alphas who can “lead themselves through adversity and challenge”
What egotistical balderdash! Do you buy any of this untrue, unfair supposition?
How can any ONE person focus so much on his / her own biased PHENOMENAL SELF – when proper information can empower and secure financial well-being for so many well-meaning people. Doesn’t it sound like a little “conspiracy of the rich” getting their fingers into this common pie started at the grassroots level?
The foundation of network marketing has always been where average people with above average dreams can start a home business with minimal capital and maximize profits by helping each other to succeed.
Now I will agree with a couple of points:
People do not join a business, they join YOU.
Now, in a traditional businesses or corporations, you need strong, visionary leadership, top-down management, competition and rank advancement based on competence...
Network marketing is based on different concepts where every person is given the same tools, co-operation is the rule and the bottom-up is helped to rise to the top so everyone to experience success. This system is also known as “pay it forward” which can be found on the Entrepreneur’s Assembly Line as outlined by Own Your Channel.
Belief comes before results…what you think sets the tracks for your actions. So why would any one boost their ego at the expense of discriminating against the more democratic majority?
This is where the Alphas blindside themselves by looking too long in their own mirrors. Masterminds may work in other industries but not as well here. Network marketing is not about duplicating a roomful of celebrities and James Bond look-alikes comparing their “hit-Lists.”
The true concepts are based on leverage and duplication with the end result of residual incomes. In other words...every person can share a message from an expert with people they care about who also see the value of a simple plan to make long term income...without the worry of earning a per hour wage in an uncertain economic climate.
Network marketing is not about following alpha leaders and their expensive, time-consuming magnetizing programs that the average person has no reason to do. Give us a break…Its about a simple program that everybody can do like Own Your Channel. (read the many benefits in the previous post)
In a tough economy, the time is right for you and I, the common folk, to reclaim the traditional values of network marketing:
- Network marketing is as much about personal freedom as it is about financial independence. It offers you an opportunity to build caring relationships..not just gain position of powers.
- Network marketing is the simplest and easiest way for the average person to experience free enterprise, take control over their earning abilities, and start generating profits in a reasonable amount of time.
- Network marketing eliminates the huge start-up costs and hassles normally associated with traditional business ownership or franchising. Think about it: where else can the average person have the opportunity to earn an executive-level income by working from home? Without having to go to college for years, pile up tons of student loans, and climb a corporate ladder that often they don't even enjoy?
What if...someone considered "unemployable" can become a millionaire?
These stories happen in network marketing. Who would actually say NO to this exciting opportunity?
What if your success would not be hindered, but furthered, if you helped every person in your team contribute at a maximum level with no limits?
What if the Alpha Players played in their own backyards and stopped complicating a simple fair and democratic plan for success:
Leverage
Duplication
Residual
Can you send an email..can you watch a video..can you talk on the phone and see what people think?
What if..everyone started with a mere $9 a month to build a home business team?
Remember two things: Avoid following the Alphas...You are not a Beta..and never will be by choice.
Your questions and comments are important. Let's start with what you hope to accomplish.Annemarie
One of my favorite quotes by a great networker, Tim Sales:
Why does food grow on planet earth, other than to help other life to grow?
Why are humans on planet earth, other than to help other life to grow?
There is only one real business on this planet-the business of making someone's life better

Home Business Blog Destined to go Viral with Einstein-Like Formula
What if one formula based on one program can change the face of network marketing forever:
1. more networkers will be successful based on the founding grassroots principle…
2. more public will better informed about sound business principles and improve their perception.
The time has come to bring this network marketing home business together as one whole.
No army can withstand the strength of an idea whose time has come..Victor Hugo
One system can formulate the democratic right of every person for home business success based on the proven BIG business concept of EQUAL DUPLICATION.
It can be called destiny, a universal affirmation, when huge changes energize a huge field of possibilities of abundance not scarcity. The gateway is education and empowerment.
BE VISIONARY… in adapting to inevitable changes in a changing economy where our world of tomorrow will be very different from our past and present world.
BE PRACTICAL… in a fair democratic way because we are all in this world together with varying conditions with varying reasons, but the opportunity must be equal with no physical obstacles and no excuses.
USE VIRAL MARKETING…to help open a safe, like-minded community of home business owners based on a professional presentation and a simple to follow plan for success
The difference then will be what you decide outside the gate:
1. Go back
2. Stay where you are and hope that things will get better.
3. Walk through and get informed.
Over the last few months numerous blogs have been written about the network marketing home business model…what makes it work, or not. They weren’t about any company, product or compensation plan, or leadership teams.
You can read the entire log of blogs or here is a short overview of several themes explored:
...why you need a simple people-friendly plan
...why attraction marketing strategies can’t duplicate democratically with masses
...why two goals are all you really need to determine ambition, success, residual income, salesmanhip, communication skills, leadership quotient
...why education and self-empowerment must precede financial outcomes
...why excuses must not have mastery and how to eradicate them
...why a "golden ticket" is our right to sing and celebrate the best we can be
We even took some side trips to a gift of wisdom from the 1900’s, an old classic tale of perseverance, how to ditch the Doll (Barbie) for the Standards, a lesson in the 3-step shuffle and 10-step Cha-Cha-Cha, motorcycle maintenance, gold-panning, garlic toast and goulash, Will Rogers and more
These blogs were written in the context of today’s network marketing home-based industry...
..something’s not working where only a small minority of networkers are successful
..something’s not right where public perceptions are biased, often based on these failures while still maintaining curiosity about how so many millionaires continue to be created.
What is out-of- balance needs to be brought back into BALANCE based on three simple proven business concepts.
You can’t fix problems with the same strategies that caused then in the first place”
Unlike Einstein…this isn’t rocket science.
We need something different…a revolutionary marketing plan with only 3 steps...more than 3 steps will not duplicate massively.
Introducing a new contender..the Einstein-like formula to shine brilliantly for everyone
P=lm + dpxd
Profits = leveraged message + democratic plan x duplication
What does this mean?
We are talking about a grassroots principle: simplicity = velocity = results (profits)
We are talking about the relativity of three essential proven business concepts based on residual income, leverage, and duplication.
Profits are based on residual income paid multiple times through multiple levels. The key here is that volume of profits is based on duplication of a simple marketing plan..
Leverage is using the MESSAGE as an information tool to tell the story for you without being there. The key here is to include a short, comprehensve curriculum guide that explains how network marketing works...eliminate objections, build self-belief
Duplication of a simple marketing plan is the process by which fortunes are made in this home business. The key is a DEMOCRATIC simple marketing plan that everybody who wants extra money can say "I CAN DO THIS."
You may be thinking “What’s new? I’ve heard all this before.”
What’s new and exciting is a Mini-Program for Maxi-Profits, a generic curriculum guide which is a vital component as a leveraged message because ONE TOOL
- explains how network marketing works..main facts
- includes personal development, the first step in new mindset
- provides an inbuilt training resource, for your time flexibility
- keeps an unbelievable low cost
- shares important information in a most time effective way (one hour)
Gone are the 100’s of hours and 1000’s of dollars for training materials, consultants, technology.
How simple and democratic is that!
Summary:
Need a new vision and a practical way to achieve changes
Need practical education to format a fair and democratic home business program
Need to stand tall. Be proud. Understand that biography is not destiny.

What works best in this home business: selling or educating
I always enjoy speaking with home-based business opportunity seekers. They have so many good questions that require proper, hype-free answers. I can relate to my first efforts in starting a home business by following a program without a proper overview of how this special home business worked. I followed with “blind faith” that the master marketer would inspire more and more “followers.” Unfortunately, this home business model based on network marketing concepts doesn’t work that way.
So my main answers are to make sure new people understand the foundational principles of network marketing. This will ensure that common mistakes can be avoided, and unnecessary costs eliminated and time saved. After all, customers buying important products for personal use are the basis of long –term commissions.
One of the most common questions is related to selling. Do I have to sell anything? I have no experience. I don’t like sales. After all, customers buying important products for personal use are the basis of long-term commissions.
These concerns and fears are absolutely relevant. How about you? Do you feel that you are unable to sell, or may even see selling as negative. Perhaps you may have had a past experience where you have been pushed into buying something you didn't want, or felt hassled by a salesperson.
The process of selling is an exchange of information between two people talking…one is looking for a solution to a problem..the other is providing some answers.
Both ways, they are selling each other whether about the problem or the solution. At the end, one person will “sell” the other.."my problems are too great" or "your solution seems the right first step to take." Our consumer society shows we are always willing to exchange money to buy if we find what we want.
The fact is that there are both very good and very bad sales people! Bad sales people are only interested in what they will personally get out of the sale and will use every tactic to close the deal for their own gain.
A good sales person will not sell something to anyone unless they truly believe that they will benefit from it. They will ensure all important questions are answered and if someone is still not interested, then they will stop pushing. The good sales person will also go to any length to ensure that all customers are completely satisfied with their purchase.
But here is the $64,000 question:
Do networkers SELL a product or EDUCATE a better financial future?
Is network marketing all about really selling a product that can be bought in a local retail outlet, or does it offer the unique advantage of presenting an improved lifestyle opportunity? What other options are there?
You don’t need to “sell” a better, more financially free future...most people would be interested in "buying" and upgrading their status quo. However, first, you must educate about the key concepts to get you there.
So, on one hand, you have particular products..as the means by which to make residual income…Note that most network marketing companies produce cutting-edge research and development products. Do your due diligence here to understand the value and benefits.
On the other hand, you have an opportunity, a decision to make to start a home business of this type that can change your life and your finances forever. You have a situation where you can identify ways in which your business can help other people to achieve life long ambitions.
Ultimately, the best way to make any decision is to educate first. Get your facts. Get your overview. Start to change your belief system...I can do this.
Now that you’ve been educated and enlightened, now go out and check the products and see if you are willing to “buy”.
In conclusion, this home business model is unique that allows every person the right to have a profitable home business. Go out and get educated first. Get smart and help others get smart.
Does this mean I have to be a teacher now rather than a salesperson?
Goodness, no! Use professional teaching tools to tell the story for you.

How to Focus Home Business Ambition Between Two Goals and 3 Steps
Do you sometimes find yourself blaming circumstances for your lot in life? Do you find yourself raising a bunch of excuses… if only my parents did this, or I was raised differently, or my teachers didn’t like me enough or I followed my friends’ ambitions. Do you find yourself looking at successful people that seem to have everything...a big house, nice car, holidays, hobbies with the kids? Maybe you feel you don’t have the psychology, the emotions, the purpose-driven life goals, or something as simple as personal ambition to get ahead...is it a genetic trait or do I develop it like some kind of mental muscle.
Maybe you’re just waiting for the right opportunity, a silver platter with your name on it, a lottery ticket mentality. But there are far more chances to create your own fortune and get what you want than waiting for a “fantasy knight to save you on a magic carpet.”
As a teacher I firmly believe that every person starts each day with a positive direction in mind. Most of us think “what can I do today to be better”..not “what can I do today to be miserable, make others miserable or fail on purpose.” Most of us know what we want and have some determination to get to that destination. But it is the bumps and bruises itself along the way that throw sand in our eyes and blur our reasons.
Sometime setting goals for building ambition and motivation can be problematic in their own right. The more steps to follow, the more reasons or excuses not to try or reduce hope to excuses.
The big question is how can we simplify the process of planning and achievement so there will be less chances to give up and walk away.
So let’s say you want to start a simple, low-cost but profitable home business. Most new opportunity seekers look at network marketing for several reasons.
Here are two plans (Long and Short) to help focus and maintain your ambition.
A. LONG (SLOW PROGRESSION) PLAN
(not everybody may want to do this process)
1. Brainstorm
Get a piece of paper and write down the important goal of home business.. Now cluster as many other ideas about why its important and how to do it. No judgments allowed at this point whether they can work or not…be as open-ended as you can be
2. Organise
Get all of those ideas you just wrote down and organize them into topic sentences…home business…what I need to do ..help I can expect from others...how will I market….how to increase my customer base...how to track expenses for tax deductions
3. Budget
Do some careful research and find out how much money setting up your home business will cost you. Be sure to include products, inventory, advertising and promotional materials, rent, utilities, telephone, internet, office set-up, freight, etc
4. Check personal finances
Evaluate your current budget..what money is coming in, and where your money is going out. Can you cut back on spending (non-essentials) to save more. Are you willing to sacrifice short term pain for long term gain? Can you find a second job temporarily or get a loan?
5. Timeline
Put your home business plan of action into one document. You know what you need to do to achieve your goals and when you want to do it. Break your plan up into smaller goals, and put them along a timeline. This will not necessarily be the exact way it pans out, but if you have a rough idea of when you want to achieve your goal, you have something to work towards.
6. Steps to action
Now you are ready to carry out the steps to achieve your goals.This is where your ambition will give you optimum fuel for motivation, determination and positive attitude. Even if something unforeseen happens, do not accept failure as an excuse… go back through the steps you have taken and see if there is a way you can overcome it.
SHORT (FASTER DUPLICATION) PLAN
Again, you are focusing on building a home-based business based on network marketing concepts (leverage and duplication). Always remember, no other home business comes close to the potential of this industry, but it must be done right.
Draw two goal posts and join them with a straight line…the shortest distance between two points or goals:
HERE: GOAL #1: Reasons I don’t want to be here (current reality)
This straight line represents all the steps and psychology from the LONG PLAN…brainstorming, budget, timeline, ambition and motivation, actions
Now what’s the easiest, straightest way to travel from HERE to THERE
1. Educate and Empower ..I understand the business concepts about this home business and I CAN DO THIS! YOU CAN DO THIS! Our success is the greatest ambition to do more..
2. Plug into a successful network marketing company for valuable products and residual commissions.
3. Use a simple 3 Steps Marketing Plan for leverage, duplication and long term residual income. Enjoy a lifestyle with time and money freedom.

Looking for a Job? Pan for Gold..in the mountains or in a home business?
Looking for a job..Pan for Gold…in the mountains or in a home business?
I came across an interesting article titled Lost your Job? Try Panning for Gold…
You can read the entire article at http://tinyurl.com/degrvu Posted: April 22, 2009 by: ArticleWriter
Here is a condensed version. My comments relating to home business are at the end.
COLOMA, Calif. — There's still gold in California's Sierra Nevada foothills, and a new rush is under way to find it. Not since the Great Depression have so many hard-luck people been lured by prospecting, hoping to find their fortune tumbling down a mountain stream. The recession and high gold prices are helping to fuel the latest gold craze, especially among workers who have lost jobs. There are hundreds there now standing knee-deep in an icy creek coaxing gold flakes from a swirling pan of gravel.
Miners who locate an unclaimed area can pay a $170 fee to the federal government for access to the public land. Most claims are along the 120 miles of steep granite outcrops and rushing riverbeds that are part of California's Mother Lode, a narrow band of gold-rich terrain.Many would-be gold panners are drawn to the South Fork of the American River, where the 1849 discovery of nuggets at Sutter's Mill launched the largest human migration in the Western Hemisphere. The Depression brought another wave of miners in the 1930s.
"It's hard to keep my equipment in stock," said Albert Fausel, the third-generation owner of the nearby Old Placerville Hardware store, which was founded to sell sluices, picks and pans to the original '49ers. Back then, the price of gold was $16 an ounce. Today it hovers around $1,000.
The store's wood floors used to creak under the weight of recreational rafters and fisherman. Now prospectors are some of the biggest shoppers."A lot of people are out of jobs and know where the gold holes are," Fausel said.
Between October 2007 and September 2008, the Bureau of Land Management in California issued gold miners 3,413 permits, or claims, to search for gold. That figure compared with 1,986 claims in 2006. So far this fiscal year, the agency has issued 1,444 claims.
Many miners believe that only 10 percent of the gold in the Sierra Nevada was discovered in the original gold rush. Now they attend classes about sandbars, cracks in bedrock and low-pressure eddies behind boulders are prime places to set up sluices, special channels designed to catch gold. Spring is the best time to hunt for gold as snow melt churns streams and rivers, potentially uncovering new riches.
They are also excited by the prospect of stumbling onto buried treasure.
"I was walking my dog once and went to pick up a rock and pulled a long nugget straight out of the sand," said one grizzled miner. "It was worth about $6,500 — and that was 13 years ago."
It is a common fact that the people who sold supplies to miners were the ones who stayed rich. One of the most notable examples was denim maker Levi Strauss.
So how can we apply this information to a home business based on network marketing principles?There are a few comparisons common to veteran networkers:
- you can compare building a successful multi-level home business to finding a gold mine that pays golden dividends…work hard to set up structure and function and then collect long term residual income…like royalties for life, in many cases.
- you can call prospecting the act of talking and sharing informaion with people who may also be interested in finding a “gold mine.” As with claims, some will be promising, some will be empty, some may take months or years of “digging”, a few can even be a brilliant success…and become millionaires. And some "nuggets" will lie undiscovered in your ownback yard because no one thought of looking there.
- you can call “tools of the trade” essential equipment to unearth treasures in the ground. You need hardware: shovels, picks, pans, boxes and physical labour powered by a dream. In network marketing, you share “intellectually” and use professional information tools to tell the story for you and help your prospects to open up new ways of thinking, planning, capitalizing and succeeding.
Finally, wouldn’t it be grand if you received a roadmap to the goldmine or a home business with perpetual profits? How would that change your fortune ratio?
The network marketing home business is based on a few fundamental principles which considerably simplify the road to success.
A roadmap is simple enough to draw from beginning to end. If you have a piece of paper, a pen or pencil, and the will to follow a dream to your “gold mine” we will be happy to share more information with you.
Sure beats slogging through spring run-offs..

How to Set 2 Goals 3 Steps to make Residual Income in a Home Business Plan
The concept of residual income or passive income is probably one of the most important concepts you will ever learn in your lifetime. It is a powerful concept because anyone that can master the concept of residual income can also design their own comfortable lifestyle.
First, you need to understand the difference between linear and residual income. Linear income is based on working per hours and getting paid per hours. If your hours run out, so do your paychecks.
Residual income is based on working one time and getting paid multiple times.
Simply put, residual income occurs by building a system one time that can produce a recurring stream of revenue once the system is set up. What's so great about this is if you are willing to apply some effort and build a residual based system in the initial phase, you can reap the benefits from this one-time labor for years to come.
For example, let’s say you start a home business based on the network marketing model. You order valuable products directly from the manufacturer and recommend them to other people. Word of mouth advertising is still one the most powerful way to share information. If other people, and their referrals, also buy the products based on your recommendations, then you will earn commissions again and again based on recurring sales rather than just a one time sale.
So here is an idea. Draw two goal posts and a straight line joining them.
Label it linear income. Under it, write the rule: 8 hours work = 8 hours pay. No hours worked = no hours pay.
Or consider a home business with residual income potential.
This time draw two goals and join them with a straight line…the shortest distance between two points or goals. This time label it residual income and draw multiple percentage signs ( %’s) around it to represent getting paid multiple times from initial effort.
GOAL #1: Reasons I don’t want to be here (current reality)
GOAL #2: Reasons I want to be there (future independent lifestyle)
Now what’s the easiest, straightest way to travel from HERE to THERE...3 steps
1. Educate and Empower ..I understand the business concepts about this home business and I CAN DO THIS! Use the resource Mini-Program for Maxi-Profits for a generic overview.
2. Plug into a successful network marketing company for valuable products and residual commissions from an expanding organization.
3. Use a simple 3 Steps Marketing Plan for leverage, duplication and long term residual income. Enjoy a lifestyle with time and money freedom
It doesn’t get simpler than this for focus, motivation, action steps, and home business success. You can make excuses or you can make residual income.

I worked for wages this weekend but home business profits are better...WHY?
I worked for wages this weekend but home business profits are better…why
This weekend I made a few dollars as a food demonstrator for a marketing company introducing new products to a supermarket. It was interesting to meet all kinds of new people and talk about sprouted grain bread versus milled bread. Do you know the difference…most did not.
The difference between sprouting versus milling (or grinding to make flour) processes are huge to the nutritional benefits of breads that result. In the milling process there is substantial amount of heat generated which has adverse effects on the wheat grain. Almost all milling oxidizes the kernel, losing vital vitamins, enzymes and minerals. As well, most of the bran and germ (endosperm) is removed and resold. By taking out these ingredients, it allows most flours, including whole wheat, to have a shelf life for several months on the store shelf without going rancid.
For handing out taste samples and coupons I got paid $14 an hour. In one day of work I made $98 minus taxes. I will never get another cent from this day’s work. I will have to work again tomorrow to get another one-time wage, sufficient as it seems at first.
So how do wages compare to home business profits?
Let’s take a look at a small number potential using knowledge as leverage to go beyond one hour of work and earn multiple times.
Let’s say I was working comfortably from my home, setting my own hours by network marketing a high-demand nutritional product. I shared the information via website with ten people. Two people saw the value of the product for their health and ordered it and I received two commissions. These two new customers then each shared the important information with ten other people for a total of 20 new contacts, 4 of which also became customers.
I get 4 more commissions. Now these 4 new customers each share the healthy benefits with 10 people each for a total of 40 new contacts and a possible 8 people buying and using the product. Now I am eligible for 8 commissions…bringing the total to 14 commissions based on two personal customers.
As I continue to share my home business, I will continue to grow my profits over and over again based on short-term initial work and long-term residual income. Many networkers achieve a 5 or 6 digit monthly income with residual profits using this business model.
High quality nutritional products are forming a huge market trend as more people look for natural solutions to maintain their health proactively (before getting sick). However, as important as health products are to this networking business model; it is even more important to use a simple business plan to duplicate your profits over and over again, both with direct referrals and indirect.
I’d like to invite you to check out our 6 month income-generating, debt-reduction plan to get a clearer picture how residual income works.
