Home Business Shocker (part 2)..making a case for fair, democratic home business

HOME BUSINESS SHOCKER PART 2…making a case for fair, democratic home business for every family..

In the previous blog, we focused on a simple shocking realization:

...for every 3000 people who are thinking about a home business..there is only ONE person who is also thinking about some kind of primary education to explain how a home business works.

HELLO! What’s wrong with this SHOCKING picture?


REALITY: Every person has a desire for something better. Every person would welcome an opportunity to be better but they need to be shown how to make extra money from home…

CASE for EQUALITY: Common premises:
  • small business owners are more successful with network marketing opportunities because of their previous communication, personnel and marketing experiences
  • network marketing opportunities are frequently shared with neighbours, relatives and acquaintances with no previous business experience
  • profitable home business is not built by sponsoring more successful business owners but by working with average people with above average dreams who also wish to enjoy a better lifestyle for their families
  • this industry does a very poor job in educating people about the true business-building concepts and it’s not about product or company or guru presenter.


IS IT POSSIBLE for real equality in this unique home business model based on 3 simple business building concepts that’s open and fair for everybody? Everyone should know and practise them by heart. Do you?


INVESTIGATION: THREE SCENES

Scene one..search the internet for a home business

2. Watch a video about product and testimonials
3. Have a sample of product, read brochure, ask questions
4. Entry positions and compensation plan explained..get 3 who get 3 who get 3
5. Join, and repeat this process, offline or online, to make your commissions

Or perhaps you can watch a website or listen to a conference call that covers these points

Scene three: primary home business education first

If you are a home business opportunity seeker, how would you answer these FOUR BIG QUESTIONS...nothing complicated here..

  • What are the four ways in growing an income?
  • What are the four fastest growing trends in a home business?

  • Watch a professional presentation that answers these basic questions
  • Learn definitions via diagrams of the 3 main concepts that make network marketing work
  • Start to develop positive self-affirmations you deserve something better


REALITY you will learn is that this home business is not about selling a bottle of pills or whatever else after explaining benefits and compensation plan.

It is the one and only opportunity where you can leverage professional information, duplicate a simple democratic plan that everyone can do and multiply residual profits over and over again.


Communication, personal development and training..all standardized in one simple PRIMARY FORMAT. Nothing can be more basic, more democratic, more life-changing.

Everybody has the ability to learn and understand simple actions.

If you had this kind of home business education would you say NO?

Does this make sense to you?

Now you are ready to change.. to embrace an extraordinary product and company.

My job is to help you get this primary education first. Then you can pass it on to others who can pass it on to others and so on.

Home Business Voted as Best Concept and how Viral Marketing Formula can Help

Home Business Voted as Best Concept for 21st Century and how Viral Marketing Formula can Help

This is a two part blog..
PART ONE: read about the home business opportunity first
PART TWO: read about a marketing plan to build a home business like this as huge as you want. You control the residual cash flow from a small spring to a torrential water-fall.

Let’s see how you can do this.

PART ONE: WHAT IS CHEWS-4-HEALTH?

Chews 4 Health has recently been voted by Lifetime Networks as the "best home-based business concept of the 21st century"...Let’s take a closer look at a few reasons why..


Chews-4-Health is a delicious tasting, doctor formulated, natural chewable dietary supplement derived from the most nutrient rich sources from around the world.

At Chews-4-Health Inc., you are part of an elite group called “TEAM MEMBERS.”

We are so different from the typical “MLM” company (Multi-Level Marketing) we’re not even in the same category! In fact, we are a trademarked NCM™ company (National Co-Op Marketing).

With our “Chews-4-Wealth Success System”, you may have an opportunity to be part of of a national CORPORATE advertising network. This “strength in numbers” gives you the opportunity of taking your Chews-4-Health business to levels that are difficult to attain by other home based businesses.

5) Shared profits in a national advertising Co-Op.

PART TWO: HOME BUSINESS VIRAL MARKETING FORMULA

The Home Business Viral Marketing Formula is based on five factors:

  • a network marketing home business is the only opportunity where people can start a home business with minimal capital and make a potential high profit by making a difference
  • there are only three basic principles that make it work so, theoretically, the business model shouldn’t be that hard to master
  • address any misconceptions about mlm industry with generic education about how to achieve a better lifestyle...not just buy product
  • simplify a simple read-and-share process that everybody can do instead of complex marketing systems that the majority of people do not have the time to learn for success
  • use a standardized handbook to level the same playing field…the same objectives..the same success ratio


P = LM + DP x D

PROFITS = Leveraged Message + Democratic Plan x Duplication


PROFITS = residual income based on working once and getting paid multiple times

LEVERAGED MESSAGE…professional information tools to work on your behalf 24/7 beyond physical limitations of how much time you have and where you are

DEMOCRATIC PLAN…keep marketing plan to 3 factors to minimize learning curve and easier to understand and share

DUPLICATE… marketing plan is shared by masses of people looking for extra income from home. 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.


YOUR HUGE OPPORTUNITY…step brightly into a new future...

What if, you integrate a 3-steps simple marketing formula and an amazing network marketing company like Chews-4-Health to start a successful home business?
What if, you had extra money and extra time and a sense of satisfaction to follow your dreams…create your own visions..who would you help?
What if, you make assumptions with stick-to-itiveness to old habits and never take a look?

Why You Should build a Home Business without the Wolf with Prevention in Mind and the Cure-in-one-Call

Why You Should Build a HOME BUSINESS without the wolf, with prevention in mind, and the Cure- in-one-call

This week, 3 very different messages crossed my desk and yet they are all uniquely connected to home business opportunities…past, present and future. Here are brief summaries and their connection to home business in network maketing in today’s uncertain economy.

MESSAGE #1

I’ll huff..I’ll puff..I’ll blow your house down..big bad wolf
In the fairy tale, the first two pigs learned their lesson and soon built their own houses of brick, and they all lived happily ever after. But as you know, the Three Little Pigs is just a fairy tale. In real life, people ask the government to rescue them with taxpayer money, and then they rebuild their straw and stick houses all over again. The fairy tale continues, lessons are not learned—and the wolf lurks in the darkness.
All over the world, people are asking, “What are our leaders going to do?” I believe a more important question is, “What are you and I going to do?” More specifically, “How can you and I build our own house of bricks…Robert Kiyosaki’s new book
…

CONNECT: You got to build a profitable home business because the future is uncertain with too many bad wolves prowling around challenging age-old traditions and securities.

MESSAGE #2

In the late 1980’s an important infomercial was advertised to try and make America a better place for kids. It was beautifully produced video about helping parents talk to their teenagers about drugs. The script was written by Dan Kennedy, and a team of professional copywriters and even hosted by Nancy Reagan.

Guess how many people were convinced to get a video in order to talk to their kids about drugs based on orders received…Zero

Why?

Because it was about preventing the problem...not actually curing it. Who would want to think that their kids might need this program? "My kids would never take drugs...I'll never have to worry about this problem."

CONNECT: Why wait until more emergency difficulties or more major pain backs you into a corner to look for alternative home business income? Do preventative education now and learn all you can about setting up a profitable home business opportunity.


MESSAGE # 3

The power of a message struck me like never before. We know there are mountains of home business opportunities out there...each one promising the easy path to the gold mine...financial freedom.

And so it happened that I heard a presentation of one program that had all the elements of a great home business…In fact, it had been voted best home business concept for the 21 century by Lifetime Networks based on a recent survey.

Personally, if I had to design a dream home business, I couldn’t think of anything better than these benefits:
  • part of the booming Wellness Industry based on natural preventative products (versus waiting until you get sick and then trying to find help in the health system…
  • based on nutrient rich whole food super fruits and sea vegetable supplement
  • low cost to qualify for commissions $40 for valuable product everybody needs
  • no cost website with all the information plus back office for customer updates /support
  • national co-op marketing campaign making the product a household word
  • endorsement by Beauty Spaces (inner nutrition for anti-aging) and Kids Spaces (best supplement for children)
  • five income streams, including retail sales


Most of us realize that a successful, time-efficient, profit generating home business is a good thing..a few extra hundred dollars a month would absolve most bankruptrices (report). It is a smart preventative measure even if you have a good job now and trust your status quo will stretch into long golden years as planned.

But what if it doesn’t turn out the way you planned?

Will you continue to put your financial security into someone else’s hands?
Isn't it better to set up some preventative steps now by taking a closer educational look at what works in the network marketing industry?

Don’t wait until you’re facing financial mayhem. Some people tell me they can’t even put together $40 a month to start a home business and qualify for commissions. It's hard to sell the virtue and goodness of a home business until you experience it for yourself.

Don’t wait for the waters to part before you and a bridge to appear to better understand the prosperity available for you.

Don’t wait until some big bad wolf breathes down your chimney while your house is still standing.

Do check out an amazing home business opportunity cure-in-one-call

Do check out a simple 3-steps plan and viral marketing formula

How to Increase Home Business Productivity Not Dam IT

How to increase home business productivity not dam it…

I guess I’m human and dedicated enough when I see the words FREE HOME BUSINESS TRAINING I will open up the email…never knowing where some valuable suggestive nugget might be found about making more money or talking to more people. Especially, if possible, to also save yourself money and time..all under the veneer of free. (It’s true parents raised in the First Depression brought their families up to believe a penny saved is a penny earned.)

But folks, nothing is free. As it turns out, the course materials were free to access but the TIME required to master the content was not mentioned. But I have climbed that EveryTraining Mountain…hour by hour, notebook by notebook, teleseminar by teleseminar.

And when I felt I had reached the top of self-belief and support of others, and looked around, no one had followed me!

The sad truth is very, very few people will scale that mountain even if it is absolutely free to start and continue to work their buns off hoping that many more will also want to do the same…

But judge for yourself. Here is the free content as outlined:

Get free access to private internet marketing coaching calls dynamic, fun, and informative LIVE network marketing training sessions and TELECLASSES

Get an upgraded affiliate status – so you can refer people and get higher commissions paid back to you .

Get a free residual income website to generate products, leads, business tools and affiliate commissons

Get a free replicated Blog with over free100 templates available you can personalize

Get a free attraction-marketing and list-building system designed to help provide value and build "know-how" in the minds of your prospects.

Get free access to a cutting-edge collection of network marketing articles and e-books, Cds and Dvds; jam-packed with business building strategies and techniques that the pros use every day.

Get more internet marketing courses, tools, and resources to make income online always have discounted prices on the hottest industry-related products and services, so you can stay up to date with the digital age.

Get top quality sales Leads - If you like buying leads, never worry again if you're getting the best and most effective. You can even listen-in from time to time, as we call them "Live and In Your Face!"

Get Educated by hardcore internet marketers and have been building teams online for years…Never get left behind!

Wow! I get tired just reading about all this gear, trails and mountaineers!

The real truth is the network marketing home business is about duplicating a simple business system by average people, always has been, and always will be a democratic way to build residual income.

The only real way to increase productivity in this unique home business model is to offer a 3 steps marketing plan that can be delivered in one hour with inbuilt comprehensive training and no loss of critical information. The way to dam productivity is to build a mountain of information in front of it.

It starts with education of facts and principles about how network marketing works. It includes a strong personal component for self-empowerment and change. It concludes with an extraordinary home business opportunity.

Your questions and comments are always welcome.

USA Today Article on Recession-Proof Home Business via Direct Selling, MLM, Network Marketing

USA Today Article on Recession Proof Home Business via Direct Selling, MLM, Networking Marketing.


Recently I read an article from USA Today with the heading: Direct Sales Offer Recession Proof Jobs and want to share my thoughts.



Direct-sales businesses that rely on home-based business owners to help market their products are seeing a rapid expansion of networkers because of the country’s unemployment rate, lost jobs and lost nest eggs. People are simply looking for new ways to make money from home during economic hard times for supplemental income or replacement of a lost job. Women are especially looking for financial solutions. Jobs are no longer being taken for granted. What other options or "safety valves" can help to keep you afloat in a faltering economy?


In the article, the Direct Selling Association (DSA) which oversees these companies, states these statistics:
...There are roughly 15 million direct sellers in the U.S. They can also be referred to as network marketers or independent contractors who help market products or services primarily through a home business such as demonstrations in someone's home and one-on-one interactions. In 2007, the most recent year available, the sales industry generated $30.8 billion in U.S. sales.


...10% of representatives work "full time," or at least 30 hours a week. The majority work part-time or only long enough to meet short-term goals, such as holiday presents.


...Compensation systems vary, but representatives primarily earn money from commissions on product sales or by purchasing the products wholesale and selling them at retail prices. Commissions on sales typically are 25% to 50% of retail. While representatives may also earn a small commission on the sales from representatives they've recruited, legitimate businesses do not use recruitment alone as a basis for compensation

You can read the entire article for actual names of people and companies or read this brief summary. Most of the references are about cosmetic companies; in fact, one recently had a 108% spike in its sales representatives.

Three heart-felt opinions are offered:


  1. What if we switch from lipstick and earrings to nutrition with whole food supplements

  2. What if we switch from the idea of salesmanship and recruitment to education about three main business concepts: leverage, residual income and duplication

  3. What if we every person has the potential and democratic right to be an entrepreneur and just need a democratic marketing system


Several different examples were cited of successful home business owners:


…truck driver laid off by construction company worked alongside his wife in a direct-sales compaby with nutritional supplements. Nearly two years later and with no construction job in sight, a one-time sideline is now earning a six-figure income
.. an assistant office manager saw her hours cut last year and needed a way to make up her lost income while maintaining her office job and busy household.Now her home business is thriving even though there is a recession
…young pregnant mother lost her job as a corporate recruiter and couldn’t find a new job.. now focuses on building home business that looks “pretty promising”
…retirees join the trend …66 year old wife saw the couple’s savings reduced by half in the wake of the stock market fall. Now enjoys hosting parties to earn income until market recovers and savings stabilize
… 26 year old recent graduate in public health has struggled to find a job in her field. She worked for her sister as a nanny before getting a full-time position as an account manager. But she has also decided to start selling cosmetics on the side, partly to earn extra cash for her upcoming wedding. She now intends to forgo a public health career and eventually sell the makeup line full time.

My last opinion, as stated priveously, is we live in exciting times, changes and opportunities if we choose to focus on the potential. You cannot control what happens to you. You can control your attitude. You can master change rather than allow change to master you.


Your comments, questions, opinions are always appreciated.

How to Get on the Right Track to Your Democratic Home Business Success

How to Get on the Right Track to Your Democratic Home Business Success…

Imagine you’re looking ahead at the horizon with the destination of your profitable home business.
The engine to get you there is called the MARKETING PLAN.

Now you have two choices…You can choose to be the most celebrated, most qualified, unique, Self-Branded ENGINEER in order to “attract” people who want to be just like you...

OR you can drive your train to pick up everybody, irrespective of race, gender, age, status, training, who deserve and want a profitable home business as well.

The tracks are called NETWORK MARKETING and have been built on the basic principle that average people with above dreams can start a home business and make a difference. Why have we gone so far off-track?

Well, I feel like I’ve been following the right track all along based on this primary foundation.

Yesterday, I actually read these two quotations about two self-proclaimed problems from a top “self-branding engineer” (first time, as a public disclosure with a solution “with a catch”, of course)
I call these the two BIG PROBLEMS of MASTER ENGINEERS:

1: You're feeling overwhelmed by the amount of "stuff" you have to learn when it comes to marketing your business online, and you don't know how to keep up with all of it.

2: You have no idea how all of these pieces, (like blogs, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, auto-responders, PPC, and your primary opportunity), actually fit together and work like a well-oiled, business building machine...


So, I did a little homework to better define what is meant by a democratic home business that’s equitable for all. The focus must be on a few fundamental questions and answers:

What is Democracy is defined as government by the people for the people with an absence of hereditary or arbitrary class distinctions. There are two principles held as rights:
---all members of a society have equal access to power (in this case home business profits)
---all members enjoy universally recognized freedoms and liberties (in this case equal home business opportunities)

What is Capitalism is an economic system where goods are owned, operated and traded by private individuals, businesses, corporations for the purpose of profit where the productive enterprises are protected by rule of law.

What is Grassroots Capitalism can be described as ordinary people supporting each other’s marketing systems and cash flow. People, like you and I, can use cost-effective, simple systems to market exceptional products or services to meet our own needs and create our own profit margins. This opportunity can prosper in the Information Economy because information tools through technology do most of the work.

How to Relate Network Marketing Home Business Model as one of the last bastions of free enterprise or grassroots capitalism. You can plug into a large successful company with top management; use their products, manufacturing, accounting, distribution, shipping, and marketing strategies. Your independent “contract” with the company is to help advertise or promote their products. In return the company pays a handsome commission through multiple levels of direct and indirect referrals.

The answers to these questions fit the democratic options for at least two reasons:

  • low cost to run this kind of business makes it a democratic option. To qualify for commissions your purchases may vary but can start as low as $40 for monthly consumption of outstanding products. It’s a perfect win-win situation.
    Democratically, who can not afford $40 to maintain a home business, especially if marketing costs are also greatly reduced?
  • simple marketing plan to share with consumers and business partners based on 3 main concepts. Distribution of product is handled by the company, but as independent distributors (associates) you need to be able to market successfully. In fact, your profits are directly proportional to your marketing success.
    If too complicated or expensive, you will face the two problems quoted above ..most new people will fail to realize “dream profits”, drop out of the business and blame the industry. But check the marketing plan first: Complexity beyond 3 factors leads to uncertainty, procrastination and failure.


Let me give you an example. I can share my experience as one of the “independents” in the “great masses” that believed totally, tried unconditionally, but failed to earn more than I spent. Sure, I managed to build a team but the effort was huge and totally unrealistic to expect my team members to duplicate my full-time efforts. And I certainly did not want to spend the rest of my life as a self-branded “engineer” chasing endless prospects trying to explain the benefits and replace lost customers.

Something better had to be designed such as a marketing system where 90% of people succeed with average effort, not fail. The good news is the change is simple based on the main principles of democratic duplication through multiple levels found only in this business model.

The simple democratic qualification is:

I CAN DO THIS! YOU CAN DO THIS! EVERYBODY CAN DO THIS!


Start with a simple training primer to explain vocabulary, structure, a concept map with all the pieces and strategies that work?

Share 3-steps marketing plan: phone, website, overview (read and share)

Finally, my journey has been further enlightened because my train seriously avoids the Two Big Problems of Master Engineers now publically stated.

I am the “little guy”, with grassroots under my feet, the salt of the earth, believing in a democratic express and spirit, stretching out a helping hand to everyone, and deserving unlimited home business success.

Questions and comments are appreciated. What are you looking for in a home business and how is your marketing plan working?

Face this blog's 10 Challenges or Cry Trying in your Home Business

Face this blog's 10 challenges or CRY TRYING re network marketing home business


Announcing... confirmation by top internet marketers about what I’ve been blogging about for months now.

Personal Branding strategies don’t work...

What are we talking about here?
Lets take one step back first…the context here is the network marketing home business. The majority of home business owners do take a serious look at plugging into a network marketing company. In a nutshell, as an independent member, you can access the product, research, top management, replicated website, marketing tools, accounting, and payment plan and bonuses.
Your "job" or purpose is to help market their product and earn residual commissions.


The keywords are help to market..the lifeblood of any business..
The key concept is duplication for residual income based on simple marketing plan.

So the majority of training programs are based on “branding” yourself..how to make YOU the branded leader that others want to follow. The main strategy may have been unique at one time and is commonly known as web 2.0 social marketing…writing articles, blogs, participating in forums, social sites, videos, e-books for funding proposals, list-building, traffic generation, teleseminars,etc. It seems in the last five years or so that a handful of marketing gurus have moved through these complicated ranks and managed to raise their success ratios with these strategies. Attraction marketing does work for a select few, but not for everyone. Now with resources and connections they are massively promoting the courses / programs at costs to other would-be entrepreneurs.

Personally, I have bought into the theory of YOU.INC or personal branding for a couple of years and even managed to hammer out a downline with superhuman effort. But how much time was wasted in these social communities, training sessions, and over-saturated traffic generations can’t be calculated..nor would I want to..too depressing. Instinctively, there were several signs that this process wasn’t working. However, the home business model was strong, functioning and believable. I even took the mountain of hard work and simplified it into a comprehensive and basic 3 steps marketing process that better fits this unique home business.

Now, I have finally heard from top internet marketers why personal branding doesn’t work anymore in the context of Web.2 social marketing..an ever-evolving marketplace.

The challenges to self-branded YOU.INC marketers are that they can’t get their teams to duplicate their success. Their approach doesn’t attract the masses:

  • information overload..too many resources, methodologies
  • too many parts and tactics… limited mastery of any
  • decrease of personal production with primary company in an overcrowded industry
  • way too time consuming...setting up training modules
  • no big picture overview..people need a trail of victory before they believe unconditionally
  • no duplication...people need the right basic tool for the job that every single person can do..I CAN DO THIS! YOU CAN DO THIS! ..no excuses
  • profits and personal growth are decreased via competitive market
  • expensive factors in both time and costs in struggle to be successful vs simple equation
  • not friendly to beginners who can waste time and money doing extraneous expectations
  • continued public negative reaction to an opportunity based on democratic ideals but underpinned by personal branding mini-structures


In the end, this unique home based business built on a few network marketing principles needs a professional presentation that is simple to get started and duplicated, that provides a safe, like-minded community in which to interact and which promotes grassroots capitalism democratically where every person who wants a home business can have a profitable home business.

It is time we take this home-based business back to the masses.

Your frustrations, successes, questions and comments are always appreciated,

What works best in this home business: selling or educating

What works best in this special network marketing 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.

It’s simple to say “no’ to a product..a bottle..a box but you have to think more responsibly about saying “no” to a home business opportunity that can build independence for you and your family.

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 Set 2 Goals 3 Steps to make Residual Income in a Home Business Plan

How to set Two Goals Three Steps to make Residual Income in 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.




Seriously speaking, it just makes sense. Residual income is what you want…getting paid on a regular basis whether monthly or weekly. Yet so many people just don't get it. Master the concept of residual income and you can master your destiny.

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.

How to Achieve Success in Home Business with Two Goals

How to achieve success in a Home Business with Two Goals...

Success In Home Business is achieved to a large degree by the clarity and effectiveness of our goals. We know that. We know that mentorship, focus and action plans are the keys to success.


So we set out to clearly define a chart of goals to take us to where we want to go. But the more we goals we set up, the more difficult the journey becomes…the more excuses materialize, the more obstacles distract us, the more challenges and doubts question our rationale.

First let’s look at a set of goals commonly prescribed for home business entrepreneurs:

1. Identify Your WHY…to get you through the “tough” travelling days in any business

2. Prepare a Dream List and pictures of an exciting lifestyle you want


3. Write down your goals and review them on a daily basis to focus your efforts

4. Break your goals down into action steps. First, imagine your goal is achieved and work backwards through the steps to actually realize it. Keep track of these steps in order to repeat them consistently.

5. Get multiple “Accountability Partners.” In other words, make sure your team members
keep you on your toes with regular motivational calls.

6. Review your goals once at night and again in the morning. You want to train your subconscious mind on a consistent basis to achieve your dreams and desires.

7. Repeat the process. Goal setting should be a continual process not a once a year process. Try and apply more challenging targets and bigger dreams.


Second, what if we can set up just two goals and join them with a straight line…the shortest distance between two points or goals:

GOAL #1: Reasons I don’t want to be here (current reality)

GOAL #2: Reasons I want to be there (future lifestyle, if money and time were no objections)

Now what’s the easiest, straightest way to travel from HERE to THERE:
  • 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
  • Plug into a successful network marketing company for valuable products and commissions.
  • 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.

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.

Standing by to help,

A HOME BUSINESS? an overview

We are living in some exciting times in the middle of the Information Age, surrounded by countless possibilities…It's about automation, technology, sharing information where intellectual distribution is competing with physical distribution. It's about marketing information using a self-franchise system. All the tools you need are in your hands…a phone number, a website, a read and share marketing plan. You don’t need to spend endless hours studying, reading programs, taking ecourses, listening to webinars and conference calls (unless you want to)
So as an ex-teacher, here’s my cry , " I just can't take it any more!"
Let's get back to basics..the simple A B C's of how to understand any big concept, especially when looking at a home business opportunity. Let's learn a few basic facts. Let's apply a few strategies. Let's see the "total" big picture or "concept map " so we know what to pay attention to and what is essential for success. Let's review, make plans and set goals. Now you're ready to look seriously at a profitable home business.
The next few blogs will outline a basic vocabulary and structure to better understand some of the fastest growing home business trends.
FACT A
Most people live on salaries. If you work for the boss you live on a fixed income.Traditionally, there are 4 ways to earn an income and make a living:
1. Work for the boss.
2. Start a home business with something you' ve created or service you provide.
3. Plug into a huge company, help market their product and receive multiple commissions.
4. Earn accrued interest from your investments because you're already wealthy.
How do you make your income?
What are the positives and negatives of any of these ways?
How can we amalgamate more than one way?
Which is the fastest way to reach Number 4, if that is something you desire?
We'll look at FACT B next time.
