Do You Know The Problem With Having a Job?

Do you know the problem with having a job?
Besides your boss, that is. :-)

Let me address that question by asking you
another question:

If you were going to do a one-time job, and you
had two choices for getting paid, which of the
following would you choose?

A) $50 one time
B) $10 per month for the rest of your life

Obviously, "B" is a MUCH, MUCH better deal.
It's called "residual income" and it's much like
writing a best-selling book or a hit record and
getting paid royalties on it forever.

For example, I read that Elvis Presley made over
$40,000,000 last year . . . and he's been dead for
decades! (Or MIA, anyway, depending on which
theory you subscribe to. :-)

If you're like most people, you have a job. The
problem with most jobs is that it's like option
"A." When YOU stop, the money stops! You're
trading hours for money, and you can't build
wealth that way. To build wealth, you need to tap
into Residual Income.

Residual Income is of course one of the crown
jewels of a good network marketing compensation
plan. As a distributor, you can refer other
distributors and earn commissions on their efforts
as well as your own.

And then you will receive commissions on the
production of the people they refer, and the people
they refer, and so on.

Some people call Residual Income "Passive Income,"
and in a lot of ways it is. What do I mean by that?
That means that top earners can take weeks off at a
time if they choose. They can go on a month-long
vacation. When they return, their commission checks
will be waiting for them in their mailbox.

(Or, with many companies, you can do like I did, and
choose to have your checks direct deposited into your
bank account. That way, you won't be worrying about
your check sitting in your mailbox while you're
visiting the Eiffel Tower. :-)

Indeed, your commission check often will have
INCREASED while you were off with your family on a
cruise, a trip to Europe, or golfing, boating, or
relaxing on the beach!

How can this be, you might ask? The fact is, if
you're like most people, you've been wrongly
conditioned your whole life to think about income
as a process of trading time for money, which
is actually an ANTI-wealth program.

I can guarantee you that Bill Gates, Warren Buffet,
and Donald Trump don't make their money that
way!

Another reason why you've probably been stuck
with the J.O.B. ("Just Over Broke" or, alternatively,
"Journey Of the Broke") mentality is that, frankly,
there have been VERY FEW real opportunities for the
"little guy" to tap into significant Residual Income.

Network Marketing has changed all that, by providing
a way to market goods and services that people use
every day - and pay for every month. This makes
Residual Income (and many other benefits) available
to people from all walks of life.

With network marketing, just a few personal referrals
can, over time, turn into hundreds, even thousands
of affiliates generating hundreds or thousands of
dollars in sales . . . many on which you can earn a
percentage.

And, unlike a job, the income doesn't stop when
you stop, because it's not dependent on you.

Rather, your income can continue indefinitely and
can even increase as time goes on because the large,
global sales team you started, with your handful of
personal referrals, continues to flourish because
of many, many others who have a vested interest in
its ongoing success.

By the way, recently Donald Trump was on the David
Letterman Show. You may have seen it. As the interview
came to an end, Dave looked at Mr. Trump and asked very
seriously,"If you lost everything, and I mean EVERYTHING,
what would you do to get it all back?"

Mr. Trump, without hesitation replied, "Network Marketing."
Immediately there was laughter and snickering from
the audience -- I guess most of them thought he was
joking. Donald Trump turned to face the audience and as
politely and graciously as possible, smiled and replied,
"That's why you're there, and I'm sitting here."
