Choose Financial Freedom – How to Tell If a Wealth Creation Opportunity is For Real
March 31st, 2009 Filed under: Uncategorized — Small Home Business AuthorLooking for a way out of the rat race? Feel like you should be paid what you are worth? Tired of lining your boss’ pockets with the dollars earned by your hard work?
You are not alone. Thousands upon thousands of people feel this way, especially after the recent market crash tied them to their jobs and halved their stock values. Everyday, at least 100,000 people Google “home based business” opportunities before noon, looking for a better way.
Network Marketing
One of the simplest, cheapest methods to attain Financial Freedom in this troubled economy is through network marketing. Well-known Entrepreneurs Robert Kiyosaki and Donald Trump have both stated that if they lost everything and had to start over, they would choose network marketing as their wealth creation vehicle.
When researching a network marketing company, it is important to take certain factors into account to ensure that you will have the environment you need for your business to grow. Three factors of this industry and their importance or lack thereof will affect your direct success: startup costs, product line and training/support.
Startup Costs?
As far as startup costs, should you choose to start your own business, you get what you pay for. “Top-Tier” Direct Sales companies that sell high-ticket items yielding higher commissions, can sometimes cost $2000 on the low end and $20,000 to position yourself at the top of the compensation plan.
$20,000 to start a business at the top is far cheaper than purchasing a franchise and, due to your best efforts, may take far less time to earn money. Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad also informs us that investing in any brick-and-mortar business can take as long as 3 years without a paycheck to turn a profit.
Some network marketing companies will provide many conveniences that others do not. Do your due diligence comparing what you learn about different companies before choosing one, and be prepared to pay for these conveniences as they are there to help you out.
You simply have to decide if you are willing to invest whatever it takes for as long as it takes to reap the greater rewards. This includes time, energy and/or money. Are you willing to relentlessly work your business on the front end to achieve an easy, abundant life on your own terms forevermore?
Products?
The products sold by your business may be perks, but are not essential to a rockstar business. Do not let that fool you into thinking you have to have the best, cheapest or most efficient items to offer your customers. This mode of thinking will most certainly work against you. Remember this: Above all else, you are marketing yourself as a leader.
According to Internet Marketing Gurus Jay Kubassek and Mike Dillard, you are providing a solution to your prospect’s problem, which is worth infinitely more than products. With a powerful marketing system directed at the correct target audience, it is possible to market almost any product out there. Any successful entrepreneur inherently understands this on one level or another, but the majority of people don’t, which is why only 5% of people who enter network marketing ever become top earners.
“Am I the leader others will follow?”
If you are not positioned at this point as the leader your prospects are looking for, then you should look for a marketing system in which you can leverage the company top earners’ successes and knowledge to attract your customers FOR you until you feel confident to present your own success story. Everyone has to start somewhere, and you should not have to suffer for it.
Never join a company that would have you create bogus success stories. Your prospects will sense that you are not being honest with them and will write you off as a scam, discrediting you, your products and your company.
Beyond leveraging your upline’s success, you will want to invest in your own knowledge, increasing your value to society. As well as investing time, energy and advertising money into your business, you must also be prepared to spend some time in personal development, which is why network marketing is not for everyone. Ask yourself,
“Are you willing to do just as much for yourself as for your boss?”
Surprisingly, most people in the world are not. That is what keeps them in their present position, doing the same things day in and day out.
Training and Support
Different companies have different training regimes. It is possible with the right company and marketing system to have no prior experience in ANY sort of marketing and experience great success.
If you do not at first have what it takes, then you can become what it takes. This does not happen overnight, and it may challenge what others have told you in life, but as you embark on your journey, one of its greatest rewards is the passionate, self-reliant person you become.
No matter whether or not you decide to develop yourself as an entrepreneur, congratulations on having made it this far! By contemplating Financial Freedom and actively seeking solutions, you are a full leg ahead of the majority of the world content to run the rat race forever.
Now, challenge yourself to act!
You deserve to be happy! Set goals. Do your due diligence. You ARE Einstein! You ARE Mozart! Go for the prize!
