Have
you been in a company which committed "corporate suicide", been
"down-sized", or worked for a boss "threatened" by the
talent of the subordinates? Did your company's management sell off the company and
get golden parachutes, while the company was dismantled? Can you work for any
company for 25-30 years, retire with income for life, and never need to work
again?
You
need to do more for yourself and your family. What if you get too old to work,
suffer an illness or accident, or just want to stop the rat race of everyday
life? Why not try an alternate source of income that will continue to grow and
result in residual income for you, and your family?
Residual
income results from building teams of people who follow a plan for marketing a
product or service through teams of people who follow the same plan. These
teams sell directly to customers and build teams of other direct marketers who
in turn build more teams, reaching more potential customers. It is a lot of
people doing a few things. You receive compensation based on your sales to
customers and on the sales of your teams.
This
simple concept is followed in many network marketing companies today and in the
past, such as:
- AFLAC
- Avon
- Arbonne
- LegalShield
- Juice Plus+
- Univera
Actually,
every company operates similar to network marketing companies. The person at
the top earns the most, and a large portion of their income comes from the work
of everyone lower in the organization.
We
have heard, or even voiced, the horrors of network marketing. Like any
industry, you should check out the opportunity, dig into the website, talk to
representatives, look at the history, and verify claims for products and
services. You should study the details of the opportunities to succeed.
Is
the company's leadership professional, and is this professionalism apparent in
the daily operation and taught to all representatives? Can you be passionate about
the product or service? Will people want the product for themselves; is there
research or proof of its value? Is the company solid financially; how long has
it been in business? How good is the customer service for everyone, both
customers and representatives?
Is
the system of team building, able to be duplicated, and can you learn it and
apply it easily? Do you have fixed territories? Can you take time off when you
want, with no loss of position or the income built?
The
idea is to run your own business, at your pace, gaining from your experience
and efforts. Can you be a work from home spouse; can you work part time while
you build your business? Can you leave the business, and its income stream, to
your spouse/family, if something happens to you?
How
hard is the "selling" part of the business? You should have a
"personal" story about the product or service and a
"business" story about how you became a representative. Company
representatives who are customers have more validity than ones that are not.
How
difficult will it be to establish a "team", and for your team members
to establish theirs? The ability to help others realize their dreams of
security should be a guiding value. Network
marketing is a course in personal development disguised as a business.
If
you are interested in a residual income, seek out information. Information is
power; acquire it, and use it. Money will not "fall out of the sky":
you have to work for it. Residual income is yours, subject to your efforts,
even if you are on a beach. That's "Beach Money"! Now look at my
