Why Work from Home Business Mom reads Robert Kiyosaki celebrates Own Your Channel Even More
Motherhood, Security, Independence..are there any more valuable words. Last week I lived them all and learned some important lessons about being a better networker.
MOTHERHOOD
...involved babysitting three children for my brother and his wife while they went on a much needed vacation. A 3 year old, a 6 year old and a 17 year old became my responsibility. It was full time work...First, the cooking from preparation to clean up from breakfast to a hot lunch to home cooked suppers. Second, the standard duties...mail, shopping, laundry, organization. Third, the quality playtime..reading, sharing discoveries, paying attention, toys, laughter, a few tears, helping, games, redirections (don’t like using the words No or Can’t ) and lots and lots of affirmations. I walked away with a renewed and deeper respect for the countless things moms do (without the aid of a day care facility).
And it’s a full time job..common enough to the last generation..like my mother who raised five children on a homestead...we were her focus, strength and world...a legacy we still enfold.
And it is unconditional protection, love and security for the best of futures.
SECURITY (versus Insecurity)
In the evenings I found a few minutes to myself. I read Robert Kiyosaki’s new book Conspiracy of the Rich. It is written in a readable style that actually does simplify the complex world of finances…what created today’s economic challenges and how they can be tempered. It is definitely recommended for its 8 New Rules of Money with the biggest concern on how the future will be different. Here are just a handful of factors:
- baby boomers are retiring and beginning to collect Social Security in an unprecedented rate..78 million
- suburbs are ground zero for the subprime mess..major shopping centers and retailers are closing their doors while online shopping is taking off
- television networks are losing advertisers to the world wide web
- major airlines are on life support while people visit all over the world via the Internet
- pension plans are going broke both company pensions, health care and Social Security
- China will soon be the richest country on Earth and is asking that the US dollar no longer be the reserve currency of the world
One eye is watching the children sleeping peacefully...one eye is now watching warily economic forces unfold over which most families have no control. One hand is rocking the cradle...the other hand is building a life raft.
A home business with a personal supplementary income is definitely an answer in this uncertain economic forecast. The next question is what kind of home business? Who will help me? How much will it cost? How much can I make?
INDEPENDENCE
You can see how busy Moms are and their priorities are with their growing children.
They do not have time to master product features, industry fundamentals, marketing, call lists, self-development courses or metamorphose into an “attraction marketing guru.” They do have valuable skills of friendship, communication, integrity, and talent enough to amplify their earnings with proper support and simple home business plan.
This is why I celebrate Own Your Channel as my family’s way to long-term income and financial independence. It offers the best TRUE balance in the network marketing MLM home-based industry based on three main benefits:
- comprehensive leverage..share one expert video
- simple duplication...can you send an email...follow-up phone call
- maximum residual income...one team earns from multiple companies' payplans.
You can start a home business team for $9 month. You can join an Entrepreneur’s Assembly Line and learn in time and association with other social minded networkers. Learn more about how to position yourself in a Clearing House and receive a $299 account to start and Pay It Forward to others.
Robert Kiyosaki in his new book spends a lot of time talking about people investing in their financial education and different ways of preparing for prosperity even in a struggling economy. Read his USA Today excerpt about whether our current education system is helping or hinder us... http://blogs.usatoday.com/oped/2010/02/column-we-need-two-school-systems-.html
This one video is the best financial advice I have heard and it takes about 40 minutes.
Your questions and comments are always important. Let's start by finding out more about what is important to you. If you're a stay at home Mom...my many kudos to you.

My favorite all time quote by Jim Rohn for all families and children:
Indecision is the thief of opportunity.
Every life form seems to strive to its maximum except human beings.
How tall will a tree grow? As tall as it possibly can.
Human beings, on the other hand,
have been given the dignity of choice.
You can choose to be all or you can choose to be less.
Why not stretch up to the full measure of the challenge
and see what all you can do?
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 )
- become naturally attractive...radiate confidence and focus your energies on achieving your goals
- get a strong frame so others are sucked into your reality of what’s possible
- have a lot of rules that others must follow when they are around you
- everyone wants to work with you because you authorize your own hosting, lead generation and marketing campaigns
- love and respect your body, dress with style, and live healthy lifestyles
- show integrity and not tolerate disrespect or in fact ignore persons who don’t follow you
…and, get the hottest girls if you’re an Alpha male…I’m really not making this up..
The program is about attracting Alpha Leaders..you are either in their exclusive club or you are called another name, the Betas. These people are described as having “little confidence or value to offer others, so they simply flock to those who do have it in hopes that it will rub off. They are essentially, “unsure” of themselves, or still uncomfortable with the idea of being a leader. They typically live life in a state of “reaction”, where life events and other people dictate their rules and reality. It’s usually someone else’s fault. Beta entrepreneurs cannot exist..only Alphas who can “lead themselves through adversity and challenge”
What egotistical balderdash! Do you buy any of this untrue, unfair supposition?
How can any ONE person focus so much on his / her own biased PHENOMENAL SELF – when proper information can empower and secure financial well-being for so many well-meaning people. Doesn’t it sound like a little “conspiracy of the rich” getting their fingers into this common pie started at the grassroots level?
The foundation of network marketing has always been where average people with above average dreams can start a home business with minimal capital and maximize profits by helping each other to succeed.
Now I will agree with a couple of points:
People do not join a business, they join YOU.
Now, in a traditional businesses or corporations, you need strong, visionary leadership, top-down management, competition and rank advancement based on competence...
Network marketing is based on different concepts where every person is given the same tools, co-operation is the rule and the bottom-up is helped to rise to the top so everyone to experience success. This system is also known as “pay it forward” which can be found on the Entrepreneur’s Assembly Line as outlined by Own Your Channel.
Belief comes before results…what you think sets the tracks for your actions. So why would any one boost their ego at the expense of discriminating against the more democratic majority?
This is where the Alphas blindside themselves by looking too long in their own mirrors. Masterminds may work in other industries but not as well here. Network marketing is not about duplicating a roomful of celebrities and James Bond look-alikes comparing their “hit-Lists.”
The true concepts are based on leverage and duplication with the end result of residual incomes. In other words...every person can share a message from an expert with people they care about who also see the value of a simple plan to make long term income...without the worry of earning a per hour wage in an uncertain economic climate.
Network marketing is not about following alpha leaders and their expensive, time-consuming magnetizing programs that the average person has no reason to do. Give us a break…Its about a simple program that everybody can do like Own Your Channel. (read the many benefits in the previous post)
In a tough economy, the time is right for you and I, the common folk, to reclaim the traditional values of network marketing:
- Network marketing is as much about personal freedom as it is about financial independence. It offers you an opportunity to build caring relationships..not just gain position of powers.
- Network marketing is the simplest and easiest way for the average person to experience free enterprise, take control over their earning abilities, and start generating profits in a reasonable amount of time.
- Network marketing eliminates the huge start-up costs and hassles normally associated with traditional business ownership or franchising. Think about it: where else can the average person have the opportunity to earn an executive-level income by working from home? Without having to go to college for years, pile up tons of student loans, and climb a corporate ladder that often they don't even enjoy?
What if...a high school drop-out can earn professional 6-digit income?
What if...someone considered "unemployable" can become a millionaire?
These stories happen in network marketing. Who would actually say NO to this exciting opportunity?
What if your success would not be hindered, but furthered, if you helped every person in your team contribute at a maximum level with no limits?
What if the Alpha Players played in their own backyards and stopped complicating a simple fair and democratic plan for success:
Leverage
Duplication
Residual
Can you send an email..can you watch a video..can you talk on the phone and see what people think?
What if..everyone started with a mere $9 a month to build a home business team?
Remember two things: Avoid following the Alphas...You are not a Beta..and never will be by choice.
Your questions and comments are important. Let's start with what you hope to accomplish.Annemarie
One of my favorite quotes by a great networker, Tim Sales:
Why does food grow on planet earth, other than to help other life to grow?
Why are humans on planet earth, other than to help other life to grow?
There is only one real business on this planet-the business of making someone's life better
