Whether you like numbers or not, these simple digits from 0 to 9 may just be the closest things we have for rational reality. These Hindu-Arabic numerical symbols have been used in counting and measuring for centuries. Their quantitative mathematical formulas can provide valuable insight into how something works, including all kinds of businesses. Who hasn't looked at these meaningful digits and wondered about market trends, inflation, recession, credit scores, retirement, resources, bank accounts, and consumer confidence?
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 Follow the True Majority Nature of Network Marketing Home Business with OYC...
How to Follow the True Majority Nature of Network Marketing Home Business with OYC…not Minority Alpha Leaders
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 )
…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:
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.

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

- 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

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?
