– It costs money – LOTS of money – to go into a conventional business, whether you buy an existing business, a franchise, or start up a new one.
– You still have a 90% chance of losing everything through ignorance.
– A business with a duplicable system is a much safer choice, because you can duplicate the system over and over again, at little or no cost. – A business system that offers both reciprocal and residual income is the best choice of all, because it allows you to earn reciprocal income quickly and predictably, while building die foundation of your long-term, residual income through the process of duplication.
– A business system that allows you to invest time and effort, rather than money, is the most desirable option because it allows you to turn that investment of time and effort into cash!
The chart included illustrates the vicious reality of our present career system – the Forty Year Plan that most of us become trapped in because we don’t know any better. We spend our first 20 or so years getting an education (geared to produce employees) and then we begin to climb the corporate ladder.
The income curve creates the illusion of financial security because of its steady rise. Once we reach our 40s and 50s the stress increases alarmingly. Mergers, acquisitions and other changes in the corporate environment increase the risk of “downsizing” (job shedding) and bringing in younger, better-educated replacements. Redundancy, retrenchment, early retirement (whatever we call it) means a nose-dive in income if we fall victim, or dramatic increases in our stress levels if we manage to survive.
If we go into business for ourselves, most of us end up working longer and harder – and for less money – than our employees. Eventually, though, we retire. Either way, it’s a steep drop to the kind of income level we had when we originally began – in our 20s! Any way you look at it, its hardly what you’d call “Iifestyle.” There’s a better way. And it takes only a fraction of the time, with no sudden drop in income.
Now Network Marketings’s Four Stage Plan creates true leverage and lucrative residual income
The whole point of residual income is to sever all connection between our time and our money, so that we can work less and earn more. We build an income stream and it continues to produce income for us, endlessly.
It’s like growing an orchard
1. We prepare our soil to make it fertile for the seedlings we intend to plant. We create a safe environment
2. We plant the seedlings in the soil we’ve prepared.
3. We nurture and protect the growing trees until they begin to bear fruit.
4. When the trees mature, produce seeds and spawn more trees, we enjoy more fruit than ever, with minimal time and effort required.
In other words, it’s a process in which we do lots of work for very little reward in the initial stages, then earn lots of income for very little work once were established. After the preparation stage, when we’re learning and improving our skills, we enjoy exponential growth in our income as our referral network expands rapidly.
As our people mature and become independent, we earn residual income in the form of royalties on. sales created by their organisations; (from the company’s share of the sales, not from our peoples’ share). And because it’s a business, the income continues, even after we’re gone. So our loved ones can continue to benefit from our achievements.
The residual income just keeps coming – and growing. And, because it’s tied to product prices, it’s protected against inflation and other economic forces that usually undermine the value of superannuation and other investment-based income.
Why is network marketing so much safer, better and smarter than other business systems?
CONVENTIONAL
Based on competition (Win-Lose*)
Relies in dependance
Values money and uses people
Creates financial and time bondage
BUSINESS NETWORK MARKETING
Based on cooperation (Win-Win)
Relies on independence and interdependence
Vales people and uses money
Creates time & financial freedom
(*A counterfeit – Win-Lose is really Lose-Lose posing as a win to fool you, until the loser wakes up to reality and ends the relationship.)
Network marketing is the ONLY fourth-generation system of business. Most others, including franchising, are first-generation systems. There are almost no second or third-generation systems.
This means that network marketing is based on very different principles to “conventional” business systems. There’s not enough room here to discuss the real differences in detail, but here’s a brief summary (see table above) of the major differences to help you recognise some of the reasons why it’s so much safer, better and smarter.
Network marketing is the most effective, enlightened, ethical, equitable and egalitarian form of free enterprise ever to evolve. But ONLY when it’s operated by people who are just as effective, enlightened, ethical, equitable and egalitarian.
