Letter from the Editor: Is $500 A Lot Of Money?

Would an extra $500 a month be a lot of money? Maybe. Maybe not. It depends on your perspective. So here are a couple of different perspectives for you to consider:

Perspective #1

If you were to start a business that by the end of 12 months was generating for you an extra $500 a month, would that be a lot of money? Some people think it wouldn't be very much money.

Perspective #2

Let's say you just got out of your car in the shopping mall parking lot on your way to buy some clothes and noticed five, crisp $100 bills blowing past you along your path towards the store. Would you just keep on walking and leave them for someone else? What if the same thing happened to you once a month while shopping at the same mall, would you still say that an extra $500 a month wasn't much money?

In reality, many people challenged financially could actually turn their lives around if they were able to generate an additional $500 a month. What about you? If you started your own business that by the end of 12 months generated for you an extra $500 a month, how would that change your life? Think about it for a little while. Just to show you what's possible, here is an example what an extra $300 a month can do. This came from a friend who helps people generate extra income each month in their own business.

In this particular case he had a very conservative friend who got started in a home business, and after a short while ended up generating an extra $300 a month on a regular basis. This guy was kind of boring, so, not having anything exciting about his life he simply applied the whole $300 to his home mortgage each month. That may not sound like much, but in just four short years, his house was paid for in full.

Sounds pretty good so far. Since he still had the extra $300 coming in each month, and he now had an extra $700 a month from the house payment he no longer needed to pay he decided to pool the money together and buy another house down the street for rental property. The new house payment was $800 a month, but he was able to rent it out for $900 a month.

So what did he do considering that he wasn't the most exciting guy in the world? He took the rent money along with the original $700 a month mortgage payment he freed up on his first house, and his $300 a month extra income from his own home business and applied all of it to his new loan. Then, in just about 3 1/2 years he had house number two paid in full.

What did he do next? He simply repeated the process on house number three and once again paid it off in about 3 years. As a result, he now had rental revenue coming in from two houses and his home business extra income of $300 a month, all of which he could apply to house number four.

What was this person able to do with just an extra $300 a month? Well, in just under ten years, he was able to gain $300,000 in net worth and create a net asset value from his multiple income streams of $600,000. How many of you could save $600,000 in just ten years?

You see, only an extra $500 a month can create a large net asset value in your life even if it never grows any larger. It all depends on what you do with it. Does it really require a large amount of cash flow to gain financial freedom in your life? No! When you focus on generating a realistic extra $300 to $500 a month your financial freedom is right around the corner.

Article 1: Building Strategies!

The trick to building your organization is to not leave out the DUPLICATING NECESSITY PART.

The problem a lot of people run into is that they get some downlines and the downlines just sit there not doing anything. What the downlines are failing to do is duplicate the methods that made the sale on them. If they would duplicate the selling procedures they followed into buying, then they would be productive and have their own growing downlines they could be an example to and the selling procedure wouldn't sputter and quit.

A lot of times, just in order to get a sale, a distributor settles for an uncooperative and unproductive downline member. This ruins everything, because the secret to network marketing wealth is: EVERYONE DOES A LITTLE SO EVERYONE CAN MAKE A LOT.

The huge problem in network marketing is: 
ONE PERSON DOING EVERYTHING AND A BUNCH OF PEOPLE DOING NOTHING.

Persuading others to join you is part of the parcel. It is wrong to your uplines, downlines, to yourself, and to the people you are cheating out of a good opportunity because you refuse to convince them to join. WHEN PEOPLE WON'T PUT THEIR HEART INTO IT, THE SALE IS NOT MADE.

Another horrible and in my opinion inexcusable problem in network marketing is people refusing to act as a team. There are way too many unproductive lone rangers trying their hand at network marketing. TEAMS BUILD BIG DOWNLINES WHILE UNPRODUCTIVE LONE RANGERS CHEAT THEMSELVES AND EVERYBODY ELSE.

Another problem is lack of focus and sincere effort. There are way too many people skipping on to the next thing and have never coordinated an effective effort in what they just left. LACK OF FOCUS AND FAILURE TO USE PROVEN METHODS CREATES FINANCIAL LOSSES.

If you are going to be an effective internet marketer, you are going to have to understand your online environment. People get distracted very easily and go wandering about collecting all kinds of programs. If you are going to succeed, you must establish your voice and that of your group as a constant among that which is constantly changing. YOU AND YOUR GROUP MUST GET AND KEEP PEOPLE'S ATTENTION FOCUSED ON YOU AND YOUR GROUP AND WHAT YOU ARE WORKING TO ACCOMPLISH.

Now look at this problem:

TOO FEW TEACHERS

There are way too many people running around "learning" things they really refuse to learn. People need to stop "learning" so much and start WORKING WHAT WORKS IN ORDER TO TEACH OTHERS WHAT WORKS AND STAND BY THEM TO MAKE SURE THE NEW PEOPLE WORK WHAT WORKS.

Another problem is bad inquiry management. 1. You ought to have a team. 2. Whenever the team comes up with a lead, everyone should be clamoring over themselves to welcome that inquirer, offer help to that inquirer, get to know that inquirer, answer that inquirer's questions and ASSURE THAT INQUIRER THAT THE TEAM WILL MAKE THEM SUCCEED, THEN MAKE THEM SUCCEED.

Finally:

TOO MANY FOLLOWERS

There are way too many people who don't take the lead for organizing group effort. Much like "sheep without a shepherd," there's too much aimless and dangerous wandering that goes on. DON'T ASK WHO THE LEADER IS BECAUSE THE LEADER IS YOU.

Have a nice day!
