Help! The Sky Is Falling! by Sue Seward
Thursday, Oct 2, 2008
Everyone seems to be stuck like a deer in the headlights because of all the bad economic news lately. And, it's going to get worse. The worst thing people can do is nothing and that's why many will remain stuck in their situation. People are allowing their American Dream to be stolen right out from under them because of fear! Meanwhile, the rich are getting richer and the poor Chicken Littles are getting poorer! If the sky is indeed falling, the question we should be asking ourselves is, “How can we better position ourselves to take advantage of the fall out?”
Now is the time to take action and start taking back the American Dream! Doesn't that sound like a better plan than just hiding your head in the sand?
Starting an MLM business is the solution to dealing with today’s economic woes and the best time to start investing in your future is right now. What's important is not only to realize what is happening but to select a perfect vehicle that will help you take advantage of some really great opportunities that are going to be available. Find a venture that is affordable, simple, profitable and a sure bet for taking back the American Dream and helping people to be in a better position financially when the next famine strikes!
In the face of today’s economic reality, we must ask ourselves, “What will happen if we can’t work—our income ends?”Well, when I became seriously ill this past year, I could not work my MLM business sometimes for weeks at a time, yet my income still came in. In fact, I earned a six figure income that paid our expenses. If all I had done was retail products, I would have gone broke. The bottom line is income comes in even when I cannot or do not wish to work. In other words, I can take two months off without asking anyone’s permission and still have an income coming in. The secret behind this is the leverage that has developed along with my network marketing enterprise.
Leverage is defined as the power to get things done--influence over other people, especially something that gives an advantage. Leverage is an important concept that is the real beauty behind MLM because it’s where real freedom in your life comes from once you understand why it’s so important, how to get it, and how to make it work for everyone.
I have learned from Robert Kiyosaki and a favorite business mentor, Donald Trump, about leveraging other people's time and money. So, I recommend reading their books to understand more about what leverage can mean to you as a business person. Here's a special audio download for you of Donald Trump on “Thinking Big” and Robert Kiyosaki on “The Art of Winning.”
In my own business, I do a lot of delegating and I build depth. One of the things I've learned fromDonald Trump is to surround yourself with great people and I've been able to do this by networking, making connections online, and building long term relationships. I'm constantly networking not only with people who will work directly in my business enterprise but also with people upline and crossline in my business, as well as others within the same profession who are not even directly related to my company. Why? Because someday they could be. You never know, do ya?
Building any type of business enterprise takes hard work and it will take time depending on each person's personal situation, budget, etc. And, yes, it can be done by anyone who has the desire
and determination, and who does not quit. It will take some sacrifice, which many people will just not commit to up front in order to get more in the back end. That's called delayed gratification and it's tough when so many people are cash addicted and want money right now.
This is why it's so crucial to find an in demand product to distribute that has a 100%
wholesale-to -retail mark up to solve this issue for the majority of people who must have cash flow. This way people can put cash in their pocket day one while they are building up their long term residual income--because most individuals are not entrepreneurial. This is a character trait that has to be developed in most people. Although some are just naturally entrepreneurial, the majority are just not willing to wait for years to develop an income stream. That is really why so many people quit network marketing. They settle for going back to the boss for the paycheck at the end of the week or month.
Entrepreneurs are risk takers and they are laser focused on their goals. They understand what it means to sacrifice to accomplish their goals and dreams.When I started in 1996, my goal was to
build a successful career income in network marketing.I had absolutely no desire to work for someone else because I've always been quite entrepreneurial even though I’ve had a lot of work to do on myself personally!
Most people are used to being employees and having someone dictate to them what to do, when to do it, and how long to do it.It's hard sometimes to break out of that mold and become independent. It takes hard work to build yourself into an entrepreneur. The first thing you must do is decide that is what you want and then set their goals, put your plan in place, and take action.
Latch on to a mentor who has done it and be extremely coachable. The more you learn to let go of control, the more leverage you'll develop in your business.
Set your MLM plan of action into motion. Consistently work your plan everyday to expose your business to others. Help as many people as you can to get there, too. Support your organization and your upline as well as the company management, and do not let anyone steal your dreams! Make those dreams big and then grow into the person to achieve them. You will be compensated well and build a security for yourself and your family for many years to come! You were created for success!
So, what will it be? Do you want to be ready for the fire sale or will you be consumed by the fire? It’s your choice! Prepare yourself now by taking the above outlined action steps towards a brighter and more secure financial future aboard the perfect vehicle—your own MLM enterprise.
