Recession Proof Your Life

What do I mean when when I talk about making your life recession proof? First off, Zig Ziglar says, "Choose Not To Participate". That sound simple enough, but does it make sense and is it really that easy? Certainly, we all feel the effects of what's going on in the economy around us and one way or another it will touch our lives, either directly or indirectly. How we let it effect us however, is completely up to us.In this day in age, if you are relying on a single source of income or even on a second if your married and your spouse works, you're not in a good position. If you haven't developed enough investment income that can sustain you in times of need, then you are vulnerable to small and large storms alike. As we can see in this current time that having investments in real estate or the stock market doesn't always mean security either.

If you listen to people like Donald Trump, Robert Kiyosaki or even Warren Buffet, they all agree that to position yourself above the curve, Network Marketing is the way to go for those that don't have the cash to buy an existing business that is already profitable or to buy a franchise that can cost from 10's to 100's of thousands of dollars, only to require much of your time managing it for the first few years. Certainly not something that you could do part time to create a secondary source of income. Network Marketing has been a proven success for over 100 years in this country. Avon started in 1886, more of a direct sales company, but still had the concept of recruiting other like minded individuals and paying bonuses for all dollars going through the group. 122 years later, Avon is the number one direct sales multi level type marketing company out there and many people earn substantial income part time and full time.

If you look at what it takes to participate in legitimate MLM or Network Marketing Company, you realize that the rewards far outweigh any of the risk. For between thirty and one hundred and fifty dollars, you can start your own business that has the potential to out perform most well played stock portfolios and real estate empires that are loaded with risk and headaches from tenants and down markets. With the right company and support you can create the freedom to walk away from the traditional 7-5 work day and take back some of your life.

There are many companies to choose from and there are also many scams out there. When researching, do yourself the favor of making sure there is a real company behind the product. There has to be a product of some sort. Make sure it's a company that you can go visit and walk through the lobby, meet the staff and see the production and shipping areas. Companies like Amway, Xango, Herbal Life or Avon to name a few, have huge offices, and distribution centers that are available to visit and learn about. They continue to grow in countries around the world and have stayed afloat during all kinds of economic down turns. In fact most network marketing, direct sales, companies have extreme growth when the economy is bad.

So if you can start a business from your home for about one hundred dollars, what's stopping you? The tax write-offs alone are worth having a business. You may be able to deduct part of your home, your utilities, your new computer, your automobile expenses and even travel if your business reaches beyond your own state and you go to visit one of your partners. I personally know couples that travel about one week per month, year round, visiting with partners in their businesses around the world. Below is a video of a trip to Hawaii that we went on with a dozen close friends in our business along with a couple hundred others that we met there from around the states.

The key to having success in network marketing is friendships. We all know people that know people that we don't know. If we have something that can benefit us, it would make sense that it could benefit others. As we share the idea and product with people that we know, that trust us, they will in turn share with others that know and trust them.

Most people can easily generate an extra five hundred to a thousand dollars per month in a very short time and when they do that, they want to show others how to do the same, which will reap them even more rewards. In as little as a year, many people are earning residual incomes over two thousand dollars per month which is the equivalent of having five hundred thousand dollars in the bank earning 5% interest.

So you tell me, how fast are you going to get that extra 500K saved up? Do you think it might be easier to start a small business for a hundred bucks, dedicate some time to tell a few friends about it, invest in some information on how to utilize the internet to drive traffic to your business opportunity and create some new friendships with people around the globe.

Not everyone will be a million dollar earner in MLM, it does take the right individual with the right leadership and the right system in place that can be duplicated by others. How much you earn will be reflected by how much effort you are willing to put in, just like everything else, but when the business grows beyond your reach through geometric progression, that's when the real money comes.

Don't quit to early. If you double a penny every day for 30 days you would have over 5 million dollars, however on day fifteen you would have only about 163.00 that's the power of duplication.

THIS IS YOUR LIFE

ARE YOU WHO YOU WANT TO BE
