Home Business News with Own Your Channel Network Marketing Done Right..the Bad, the Good, the Best



“Don’t become a victim of yourself. Forget about the thief waiting in the alley; what about the thief in your mind?”Jim Rohn






The bad news is that this recession has caused an unemployment rate that hovers about 10%. Joblessness has wreaked financial and emotional changes and hardships for countless people. The good news is that Own Your Channel offers real stewardship and opportunity to become self-employed with a profitable home business. The best news is that change begins at a personal level..and no one can calls us to action like Jim Rohn.


BAD NEWS


Recently a New York Times/CBS Poll surveyed 708 unemployed adults. You can read the entire article and actual people.Poll reveals depth and trauma of joblessness


Unemployment has caused major life changes and mental health issues for millions of Americans, a New York Times/CBS News poll found.


http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/34428644/ns/business-the_new_york_times/from/ET


Now here are some of the realities faced by unemployed workers which applied to nearly half of them

• borrowed money from friends or relatives
  
• cut back on doctor’s visits or medical treatments and did not have health insurance
  
• suffered from depression, anxiety, insomnia
  
• encountered more difficulties with conflicts and arguments
  
• had trouble maintaining even the basic necessities ,paying house payments and other bills


• faced rising foreclosures and evictions


• more embarrassed and ashamed of being out of work (men more so than women)


• majority were rethinking career choices, moving, retraining


• took on additional hours or another job to make ends meet (or spouse)

Does receiving unemployment benefits cover basic necessities…61 percent said no.


Does the job market look promising for future security… 39 percent anticipate improvement, 36 percent expect it will stay the same, and 22 percent say it will get worse.


Who or what is to blame for this high unemployment rate?


The highest blame went first to government and politicians (37%), banks (8%), globalization (8%) and other causes


Another interesting note: Approximately 30% people in a nationwide poll said their salary had been cut due to bad economic conditions.


GOOD NEWS


So is there a silver lining in this stormy economic prediction?


A network marketing home business is an ideal solution but it must be done right. The normal sequence must be reversed. Given a choice, what sequence would you choose:


a) join a top network marketing company ($50 for kit)..order autoshipment product ($100 -200 monthly (or more)..training/marketing materials ($100 or more)..time commitment steep learning curve..then build your team hoping others will pay the cost in dollars and hours.


b) build a home business team ($9 a month). When the team is large enough then join a top network marketing company and make calculated profits from Day 1. Your training/marketing is all about telling others one simple truth: if you have a big enough team, you'll make money in ANY network marketing company. 


A compelling video explains how this works.


BEST NEWS


Only you turn that first page away from Bad News. Only you can look in the mirror and decide to choose to make changes. You need to believe you deserve better..no way to blame others..no one else to lift your veil of frustration..no excuses with a legitimate, healthy home business you can start to build for $9 a month.


And while you’re looking in the mirror..repeat these words by Jim Rohn:


Each of us has two distinct choices to make about what we will do with our lives. The first choice we can make is to be less than we have the capacity to be. To earn less. To have less. To read less and think less. To try less and discipline ourselves less. These are the choices that lead to an empty life. These are the choices that, once made, lead to a life of constant apprehension instead of a life of wondrous anticipation.


And the second choice? To do it all! To become all that we can possibly be. To read every book that we possibly can. To earn as much as we possibly can. To give and share as much as we possibly can. To strive and produce and accomplish as much as we possibly can. All of us have the choice.


To do or not to do. To be or not to be. To be all or to be less or to be nothing at all.


Like the tree, it would be a worthy challenge for us all to stretch upward and outward to the full measure of our capabilities. Why not do all that we can, every moment that we can, the best that we can, for as long as we can?


Our ultimate life objective should be to create as much as our talent and ability and desire will permit. To settle for doing less than we could do is to fail in this worthiest of undertakings.


What if: the economic recession will continue to track on and you choose only to blame others and make excuses


What if: a simple video can explain a new and exciting home business opportunity with extraordinary income?


What if: repeating Jim Rohn’s words a few times a day will change our belief system and empower our future.


What if..a simple Mini-Program for Maxi-Profits covers the essential basics and training?

What if..you never try and another year passes by...


What if..we take the chance to talk about your dreams, achievements and what you would like to accomplish. Your comments and questions are always welcome.

No Excuses Allowed Team
The future belongs to those who change with the democratic power of 3 steps education and belief in your dream..YES YOU CAN!


THE TWO YEAR STORY by AL SCHREITER

Let me give you an example of one of my favorite stories. This story is
designed to get the prospect to think long-term, and to believe that he
can succeed in the business.

Imagine you're at work one day... and your boss comes to you and says,
"Bad news, we're going to have to fire you. Business is bad. And the
economy stinks."

You feel depressed. No more career. No more regular paychecks.
And then the boss says, "You know what? If you were to work just one
extra hour overtime every day for free, from 5 pm. to 6 pm., Monday
through Friday, we'll let you keep your job and you can continue
collecting your same paycheck."
Now, what would you do?

Well, most people would say, "Well, I will work the extra hour of overtime
just to keep my job. I know I will be working the extra hour for free, but it
is important to keep my present job."

And then the boss says, "Well, I know it's kind of bad news for you but
there is some good news. If you work an hour of overtime, Monday
through Friday for no pay, just one extra hour a day... at the end of two
years, we'll let you retire at full pay."

All of a sudden, how do you feel?
You feel like saying,
"Wow! Excellent! What an
opportunity! Just work one hour
overtime for free, Monday
through Friday, and two years
from now... I retire at full pay!"

So what would happen?
You're working overtime and six months later one of your friends says,
"Hey, why don't you quit doing that? You're working an hour overtime and
not getting paid for it."
You say to your friend, "No way! I only have 18 more months to go and
then I'm going to retire!"

A year from now, maybe your spouse says, "You know what, dear?
You've been working that free hour of overtime for the past 12 months.
Why don't you spend more time here at home instead of working that
hour overtime?"
You say, "No, no, no! Just one more year and I can retire at full pay."

And you would be at work faithfully, Monday through Friday, working that
overtime so you could retire. And you would be excited about the
opportunity.

Well, we have the same opportunity to retire with our network marketing
business.
We ask people to spend one hour a day, Monday through Friday building
a network marketing business. And all you have to do is... talk to some
people.
And you don't have to worry too much about what you say,
or how good you are because you know what? You'll get better.
The longer you do network marketing, the more you'll learn.

So maybe after the first month you say, "Gee, I really don't know what to
say."
The second month you get a little better and say, "Well, I know a few things about
this Wonderful Company.”
The third month you get better at this and say, "I think this is a neat
business. You might want to look at it."
And the fourth month you get better and better.

Just invest an hour a day. And at the end of two years you might be
pleasantly surprised and say, "You know what, I can replace my full-time
income and retire for the rest of my life."

So... would you take advantage of this opportunity?
If you are like most people, you will want to take advantage of this
wonderful opportunity... but, you won’t do it.
Here is why you won’t do it:
A little voice inside of your head is saying, “But what if it doesn’t work?
What if I waste an hour a day over those two years? What if I’m not good
at this? I don’t know anyone who has retired in network marketing. I only
know people who retired with a pension from a job. This might not be a
sure thing.”

Yes, you’re going to have some doubt. You will have a belief problem.
And that's pretty natural.
So here is what we are going to help you with your belief.
To encourage you along the way, every so often we're going to
send you a check in the mail --
just to keep your spirits up as you build your two-yearbusiness.

When you get these occasional checks, you will say, "I know it works! I've
got these checks to prove it."
And that is why you want to start your business today.

Home BusinessViral Marketing Formula with the Magnificent Gift of Time

Home Business Viral Marketing Formula for Network Marketing Success with the magnificent gift of time ...Part 4

Yesterday we talked about the magnificent obsession of having a passion…what makes you rise to the best you can be with no regrets or excuses...how to fulfill the one life we have to live.

Today we look at the magnificent gift is time..

Brain Tracy says it best:

Time is your most precious resource. It is the most valuable thing you have. It is perishable, it is irreplaceable, and it cannot be saved. It can only be reallocated from activities of lower value to activities of higher value. All work requires time. And time is absolutely essential for the important relationships in your life

So how does time relate to the network marketing home business viral formula
based on a DEMOCRATIC MARKETING PLAN

P = LM + DP x D

Profits = Leveraged Message + Democratic Plan x duplication

The time-saving, time-maximizing, time-reduction value is clear as a bell.

Time is limited and delegated to the most important principles of this unique home business.

• 1. PROFITS
  ...based on residual income..get paid long term based on initial efforts
• 2. LEVERAGED MESSAGE
  …use professional information tools to work on your behalf 24/7 beyond physical limitations of how much time you have and where you are
• 3. DEMOCRATIC PLAN
  …everybody who wants a low-cost, part-time home business can have a successful home business based on the proven principle of duplication
• 4. DUPLICATION
  ...the key to high profits in network marketing is the duplication of a simple marketing system. They key to success in this simple marketing system is a short, comprehensive curriculum guide to how this industry works. It is simple-to-follow, low-cost, generic, standardizes content to handle questions and objections, and time efficient and practical for everyone to use.

How time-efficient and democratic is this.

Precious time is not spent jumping through hoops, traversing the internet jungle, magnetically branding yourself, writing articles and blogs, studying copywriting skills, testing SEO ad words, mailing lists, selling, persuading, following, training and banging your head against misperceptions.

Precious time is spent hanging out family, visiting friends, catching up on old times, watching your children’s events, reading, updating studies of interest, doing hobbies, golfing, fishing, relaxing, going on retreats and holidays..just watching the garden grow...if that is your choice.

Precious time builds memories that will live forever.

Put time in your hands and money in your wallet by checking out a simple network marketing home business plan.

Your questions, comments and special times you remember are always welcome to share.

As a special treat you can read more intensively about

The Three Factors of Time by Brian Tracy

Organize Your Life Around Your Family, Your Career and Your Personal Goals

You need to stand back on a regular basis and analyze yourself, your life and your time usage. You need to become a master of your time rather than a slave to continuing time pressures.

The Starting Point Personal time management begins with you. It begins with your thinking through what is really important to you in life. And it only makes sense if you organize it around specific things that you want to accomplish.

You need to set goals in three major areas of your life.

First, you need family and personal goals

These are the real reasons why you get up in the morning, why you work hard and upgrade your skills, why you worry about money and sometimes feel frustrated by the demands on your time.

What are your personal and family goals, both tangible and intangible?

A tangible family goal could be a bigger house, a better car, a larger television set, a vacation, or anything else that costs money. An intangible goal would be to build a higher quality relationship with your spouse and children, to spend more time with your family going for walks or reading books. Achieving these family and personal goals are the real essence of time management, and its major purpose.

The second area of goals is your business and career goals.

These are the "how" goals, the means by which you achieve your personal, "why" goals.

How can you achieve the level of income that will enable you to fulfill your family goals?

How can you develop the skills and abilities to stay ahead of the curve in your career?

Business and career goals are absolutely essential, especially when balanced with family and personal goals.

Personal Development Goals

The third type of goals is your personal development goals.

Remember, you can't achieve much more on the outside than what you have achieved and become on the inside. Your outer life will be a reflection of your inner life.

If you wish to achieve worthwhile things in your personal and your career life, you must become a worthwhile person in your own self-development. You must build yourself if you want to build your life.

Perhaps the greatest secret of success is that you can become anything you really want to become to achieve any goal that you really want to achieve.

But in order to do it, you must go to work on yourself and never stop.

Action Exercises

Here are three things you can do immediately to put these ideas into action.

First, develop the habit of stopping on a regular basis and thinking about what is really important to you. The more often you stop and think, the better decisions you will make.

Second, decide clearly upon your personal and family goals. Write them down. Discuss them with others. Be clear about why you are doing what you do.

Third, take some time to think about your career goals and the steps you will have to take to achieve them. Do something every day that moves you forward in all three areas.

I wish Susan Boyle was my Home Business Partner

I think 20 million people were blown away this week by a middle-aged woman from a village in Scotland who did what most would not do and, thereby, has set a standard for everyone of us.
She has an incredible gift of song that has taken nearly 50 years to discover but what if she had not taken that one step onto the stage?
Her story is not just about a dream that refused to be beaten down by life...but also about each of us...and what we are willing to do or not do.

She has shown us that you don't have to be good-looking, educated and talented to be successful.
We all face our public detractors or critics.
We all have our personal private critics..not right age, not right shape, gender, ethnic groups, family background, training..
We all have the potential to abandon our dreams and join the masses of cynical losers or scoffers who blame the system, the economy or other people for their failures...without taking that first step
We all know that doing the right thing always demands more courage than following a crowd.
We know that we have innate potential to help, self-develop and prosper beyond audience participation and "survival modes."

To help you get started to prepare for your Life's stage entrance..here are some common ideas well expressed by Chris Widener, successfull network marketer.

When you get to the last step of mastering skills, remember that in the Information Economy there are many ways to leverage your time and knowledge and duplicate your profits in a home business.
There are simple curriculum guides to educate and empower you and excellent companies and products to share that everybody desperately needs.
There are no more excuses, if you really want the chance and change.

Thank you, Susan.

PS. What is the one thing that stands between you and sucess...tell me what you plan to do to beat it. Let us work together to help.

Words to Dreamed a Dream
I dreamed a dream in time gone by When hope was high, And life worth living I dreamed that love would never die I dreamed that God would be forgiving.
Then I was young and unafraid When dreams were made and used, And wasted There was no ransom to be paid No song unsung, No wine untasted.
But the tigers come at night With their voices soft as thunder As they tear your hopes apart As they turn your dreams to shame.
And still I dream he'll come to me And we will live our lives together But there are dreams that cannot be And there are storms We cannot weather...
I had a dream my life would be So different from this hell I'm living So different now from what it seems Now life has killed The dream I dreamed.



Take Yourself to the Top!
by Chris Widener
Everybody wants to get to the top, whether it is the top of a career, a company, the earnings scale, or the many other ways that we as individuals can define the "top' in our own lives! But with so many people trying to get to the top, how come so many people aren't moving up? I think there are some fundamental reasons why.Reasons that can be addressed and changed!

What are some things you can do to get to the top? Here are somethoughts for you this week!

First of all, define what the "top' means for you.
This is extremely important because if you don't know where you are going,you will never get there! Some people don't want to be the CEO of the company. In fact, many think they are better off than the CEO even though they don't make as much money. Instead, they think they are at the top because of less stress, weekends with their families, etc., and I see their point. It doesn't matter what others think is the top, only what you do, since you are only gauging whether or not YOU get there! So where is it for you? That is the first question for you to answer.

* Be passionate about your goal.
Passion is the energy that drives us, or, as Alexander Pope said,passions are the "gales of life.' Passion is the wind in the sail of work. Find something you love and you will find something you can get to the top of. If you don't love it, you may still make it to the top, though highly unlikely. And even if you do, there will be no joy. Let your passion carry you, because it will carry you far! Thomas Fuller put it this way: A man with passion rides a horse that runs away with him.

* The will to continue in the face of hardship.
Another reason most will not get to the top is because they simply refuse to scale the mountains of hardship that separate them from the top. If you want to get to the beautiful view from the top, you will have to climb over any obstacles. Instead, many choose to stayat base camp! One would think that Bjorn Borg, one of the greatest tennis players to ever live, would consider his skill his greatest asset. Instead, this is what he says, "My greatest point is my persistence. I never give up in a match. However down I am, I fight until the last ball. My list of matches shows that I have turned a great many so-called irretrievable defeats into victories." Continue until you get to the top!

* Love people and treat them right.
What? Love people? That's right! Why? Because if you are going toget to the top you are going to need other people. Be a jerk andyou will find people dragging their feet on you. Treat them right and you will find them helping you and even cheering you on!

* Master the appropriate skills.
Average skills will get you to the middle. Top skills will get you to the TOP! This is most assuredly true when combined with the points above. Are you achieving excellence in the skills you need?Are you growing day by day, month by month, year by year? You can always get better and getting better will take you closer to thetop! Even if you only improve a little, you can keep improving that small amount and it will eventually become a big amount! Demand the best from yourself and you will get to the top. Remember the words of Jose Ortega y Gasset: "We distinguish the excellent man from the common man by saying that the former is the one who makes great demands on himself, and the latter who makes no demands on himself."

These will take you to the top!
