MY TWO MAJOR PHILOSOPHIES ABOUT MAKING MONEY

  1. Jim Rohn, my favorite personal growth coach, taught:

    "Wages make you a living, profits make you a fortune."

    In other words, being an employee can make you a living, being a business owner can make you a fortune. And, furthermore, I assert that it is easier to make a fortune than it is to make a living. A good example is a networking associate of mine who at 28 years old became a multimillionaire. When he was 20 years old I began mentoring him at his request.

    At the time he was working for a moving company working 12 hours a day for $10 per hour making a living... now that's hard work. Today, he works maybe 12 hours a week and earns more in a month than most people earn in three years.

    That's the power of a mentor and the leveraged income you can receive from MLM Network Marketing. It only makes sense to get paid for the rest of your life for the work you do today.

    A job pays you for one hour of your time and that's it... nothing more.

    Robert Kiyosaki the best selling author and lecturer of the Rich Dad -- Poor Dad series of books including The Cash Flow Quadrant suggests that the richest people in the world are business owners and investors who build networks that produce residual (passive or recurring) income... while everyone else looks for work as employees and professionals which [at best] creates slave wages. Robert also suggests in his Perfect Business Audio CD that MLM Network Marketing is the best/fastest way to move into the Business Owner and/or Investor quadrant.

    Thousands of opportunities are available that will pay you week-after-week, month-after-month, and year-after-year for the rest of your life for putting in just one hour of your time. Why would you do anything else with your time when you can get paid a Lifetime Income from the work you do today??

    During my many years business career I've found that the MLM Network Marketing business model offers the best return on your TIME and MONEY investment.

    Think about it for a minute... let's say you put in 100 hours and $1,000 into building an ongoing income for yourself from an MLM Network Marketing opportunity. And your 100 hours work is valued at $20 per hour resulting in $2,000 in time invested and $1,000 in cash for a total of $3,000. Now, let's say you earn $40 a month for the next 20 years from that investment. That would be an annual return on your investment of 16% and a 20 year return on your investment of 384%... where could you find a better investment anywhere??!?!

    Put another way... let's say you worked ONLY ONE HOUR and for that one hour you got paid 1 cent per hour 24 hours a day 7 days a week for the next 20 years. That would be $1,752 for that one hour's work.

  2. Your time has a monetary value to you personally and to the marketplace. The more value you place on your personal time the wiser choices and decisions you will make in how you invest and spend your time.

    A person working at a fast food restaurant has a marketplace value of about $6 per hour. And, unfortunately, people working at those places probably value their personal time at about the same level. Therefore, the decisions and choices they make about how and where they will spend their time will most likely provide them with equal value.

    This is so important to understand.

    Today, I personally value my time at $1,500 per hour. When I learned this secret of success I valued my time at $100 per hour. The impact it had on how, where, and what I would spend my valuable time on was incredible. It changed my entire life, it changed my income, it changed my outlook on life, etc. I hope you will value your time much the same so that you'll make the best choices and decisions about where you will spend your time and effort.

    When choosing an MLM Network Marketing program there are many factors to look at... one of the most important is to make sure that the time and money you do invest will pay you for the rest of your life. Less than 1 out of 500 companies stay in business. So, remember what you are worth and how much you value your personal time... and choose wisely.
