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

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

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

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

Here are some of the worthwhile points to ponder:

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

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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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




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

How Own Your Channel has liberated my Home Business ..and it can do the same for every network marketer

How Own Your Channel has liberated my home business..and it can do the same for every networker



It was one of my brightest days when I discovered Own Your Channel as a concept for building a significant and profitable home business. It is based on the brilliant logical sequence...build a team first...then capitalize on multiple network marketing companies. Calculate clearly what your profits will be before you start, make money on Day 1, and repeat the successful process again and again.


Own Your Channel has liberated my bank account. I am no longer concerned with expensive web traffic tools and tactics…they are too time consuming and they just plain don’t work. I no longer have to risk hundreds of dollars paying for autoshipments while I "pound the phone" looking for partners who want to spend hundreds of dollars also while hunting on the internet for prospects.


Own Your Channel has liberated my time. I want to talk to real prospects who are interested in improving their lifestyles and financial futures. It is sometimes easy to say “no” to a product but to financial independence and security… starting at $9 a month...that’s harder and more irresponsible from which to turn away.


Here is what I no longer have to do…and you can easily substitute the word YOU in place of I..


I (you) don’t do expensive pay per click ads...I only need 3 serious people who want a positive change in their lifestyle.


I (you) don’t do traffic exchanges anymore promoting someone else’s company...drudgery to get a click or two


I (you) don’t have to listen to SEO versus Adwords techniques to try and cope with ever- changing rules with internet marketing


I (you) can cancel so called targeted safelists..no more emails that never get read


I (you) don’t have to order any more e-books, courses…there is a low-level training…a few webinars to help create relationships and a social site for sharing stories, photos and more.


I (you) instantly delete weird emails with statements like instant passive income, endless leads, gargantuan traffic surges...no need to search anymore


Imagine, I (you) don’t need to concentrate on optin lists, leads, conversions, web pages, software, tracking, niches, codes, social bookmarks, or write continuous blogs for “self-branding” purposes. This home business is not about self-proclaimed virtues of “magnetic,” “attractive” experts but about the unselfish values of every family helping each other. There are no corporate trappings here...the way it should be in a free enterprise system.


I (you) don’t need to make technology a friend. Everyone can pick up the phone and introduce this brilliant concept and follow-up with an invitation to watch an amazing video.


I (you) don’t need to worry about researching the market, presenting in-depth details about product benefits, sales, selling strategies, step-by-step guides and scripts.


I (you) believe with a simple program, we even don’t need costly, long term coaching programs or “accountability partners” looking over our shoulder…our success will motivate us with protection and payout from a large team. Our self-development, self-confidence and self-esteem will rise proportionately with our profits. Others will knock on our doors to find out more about this extraordinary home business opportunity.


And you and I certainly don’t need somebody telling us what 7 steps to follow to manifest our dreams and destiny…We are powerful, capable human beings with equal rights who deserve prosperity and abundance in our lives.


I give thanks every day for the friendship of the networker who introduced me to Own Your Channel. I respect the leadership and fully support their vision of free enterprise and equal opportunity.
You are invited to check out this video..guaranteed you have not seen anything like this. Questions and comments are welcome, as always,

How can knowing EVE increase your home business profits?

How can knowing EVE increase your home business profits?



As an avid reader and retired teacher, I recently came across an interesting question and explanation:



Do you know what your EVE ratio is?

This is your entertainment vs education ratio.


Have you ever thought about how much do you spend every month on entertainment:

cable tv ______ movies _______ sports ______ hobbies ______ vacations ________ dining ________ internet ________ video games _________ social clubs _________ etc?


What do you spend every month in continuing education for personal development or adapting to new economic changes?


The average person has a ratio of 50 or 100 to 1! Do you think this could partially explain the cause of the current economic turmoil?

You can quickly figure out what your EVE ratio is.


Part 1: On a piece of paper write down some activities you like to do. Some examples for entertainment are listed above. Now beside each activity write down on a MONTHLY basis how much money you spend and how much time you spend. Add up the totals for expenses and time.

Part 2: Now write down something you learned from an educational program...cost and time involved. Add up total cost and time.

Now compare entertainment with education. What is your EVE ratio?
Are you thinking that maybe, just maybe, you could try and improve it? Would that change your potential for success in any way, shape or form?

Education is defined as “bringing up” (of the young or older...I'd add) systematic instruction, development of character or mental powers. And it is certainly far beyond any school instruction or system. LEARNING IS~A LIFETIME JOURNEY.


Now I want you to think of this comparison carefully.

There are two rooms... TV and To Be and you get to spend ONE HOUR in each room.

Which would you choose and Why?


In the TV room is a TV set and you can watch Housewives with fantasies, Reality Shows with unrealistic expectations, Entertainment by Fabulous People to make unfabulous people feel even more so... do as much surfing as you want.


In the To Be Room you can turn on an education program: Examples


  • how to communicate effectively..33 words that answer every objection and stretch every thought

  • how to set goals…setting goals is conscious thinking…achieving goals is unconscious thinking

  • how to build self-esteem and overcome adversity..changing habits..the brain’s software..simple powerful affirmations

  • how to start a home business with 3 simple steps to build a lifetime income

  • how online marketing works..how to reach thousands of potential customers with the whole world as your backyard

  • art and power of listening..and many more

Which room would you choose: TV or To Be?


Ultimately, it is your choice and legacy.


Your questions and comments are always welcome.

An Old Classic, A Contrary Poem and a Valuable Lesson for your Successful Home Business


I love stories and so many times they harbor greater truths that can permeate more complex ventures like starting a profitable home business.

Most of us are familiar with the story The Little Engine that Could. It is a classic story that teaches the value of optimism and hard work. You may even say it is a metaphor of self-discovery…that if you believe hard enough in your dream you can achieve it.

In the story, a long train must be pulled over a high mountain. Various larger engines are asked to pull the train; but for various reasons they refuse. The request is sent to a small engine, who agrees to try. The engine succeeds in pulling the train over the mountain while repeating its motto: "I-think-I-can".

I think a short version of the story is worth repeating.

A happy little switch railroad engine was employed to pull a few cars on and off the switches…it was built small for that purpose. One morning it was waiting for the next call when a long train of freight-cars asked a large engine in the roundhouse to take it over the mountain. There were hungry children waiting for food and toys. "I can't; that is too much a pull for me," said the great engine built for hard work. Then the train asked another engine, and another, only to hear excuses and be refused. Each one had their own heart felt excuse…
I’m too grand… I’m too important… I’m too old… I’m too busy… I’m not smart enough
In desperation, the train asked the little switch engine to draw it up the steep mountainside and down the other side to help the waiting children.
"I think I can," puffed the little locomotive, and hitched itself in front of the great heavy train. As it went on, and the grade got steeper and steeper, the little engine kept bravely puffing faster and faster, "I think I can, I think I can, I think I can."
As it neared the top of the mountain, which had so discouraged the larger engines, it went more slowly. It was hard...the little engine was gasping for air. However, it still kept saying, "I--think--I--can, I---think---I---can, I----think----I----can.”
Finally, it reached the top with its last great lunge and unbroken bravery. “Yes, I can do it!” was the triumphant cry. Then down the mountain side it sped, congratulating itself by saying, "I thought I could, I thought I could. I thought I could."

MORAL: An unbreakable belief in YOU will rise to the occasion and save the day.


Now, here’s another look at the same situation by one of my favorite poets, Shel Silverstein (1932-1999). He has developed a repertoire of somewhat satirical but whimsical ways of looking at the ordinary things.

The Little Blue Engine

The little blue engine looked up at the hill.

His light was weak, his whistle was shrill.

He was tired and small, and the hill was tall

,And his face blushed red as he softly said,“I think I can, I think I can, I think I can.”

So he started up with a chug and a strain,

And he puffed and pulled with might and main.

And slowly he climbed, a foot at a time,

And his engine coughed as he whispered soft,“I think I can, I think I can, I think I can.”

With a squeak and a creak and a toot and a sigh,

With an extra hope and an extra try,

He would not stop — now he neared the top —

And strong and proud he cried out loud,“I think I can, I think I can, I think I can!”

He was almost there, when — CRASH! SMASH! BASH!

He slid down and mashed into engine hash

On the rocks below... which goes to show

If the track is tough and the hill is rough,THINKING you can just ain’t enough!


MORAL: Can’t think your way out of problems, you must TAKE ACTION that are different from the problem. In other words, you can’t solve problems with the same thinking that created them.

SO WHAT IS THE VALUABLE LESSON for a SUCCESSFUL HOME BUSINESS?

At least a couple:

First, about self-development and dreams…

There are limitless resources about self-development strategies or how to self-actualize your powers to be and overcome Life’s balancing acts.

Countless self-development “gurus” have created fortunes for themselves on the foundation that people are insufficient within themselves to realize their potential, and they need to be prodded, envisioned, molded like clay by masterful hands into someone special.

All kinds of self-empowerment tools can be found such as motivational toolkits, emotional bank-accounts, vibrational medicine, guilt-free relationship plans, ego joy mind-maps, psycho-spiritual integration, manifest destiny, divine guidance, and interpreting the secret behind the secret.

To some extent, these gurus are helpful to show there is far more to living well than advertisements, reality shows, money, or fame. It is pushing yourself beyond pre-set limitations and finding joy in small things like “the finding of heaven in a grain of sand” that makes all the difference.

Second, about actions and dreams…

The one valuable lesson I have gleaned from a few decades of life is the importance of TAKING ACTION with a SIMPLE PLAN.

..nothing moves until something moves (Robert Ringer…an entire book)

..the shortest distance between where you are and where you want to be is a straight l.ine of action (Mark Joyner… an entire psychology of daily steps)

Nothing develops self-esteem, motivation, goal-setting like SUCCESSFUL ACTIONS.

Nothing increases your odds for success than PRACTICE and SIMPLICITY.

Of course, you will be excited if your simple action plans are productive and make extra income from home. Of course, you will try even harder to get more positive results. The more you get, the more you’ll try…this is not rocket science or reams of psycho-therapy.

The only self-discovery, self-empowerment or self-motivation tool you need is YOU based on a simple ACTION PLAN THAT DELIVERS.

Just imagine you were making a 5-digit monthly income? I think you will find all kinds of ways to celebrate your new self-confidence and lessons in living well.

Always standing by to talk,
