At various times during my life I felt that there had to be another way to earn a living. In the corporate world I often felt undervalued, overworked, under paid and taken for granted. Office politics frequently affected my morale and that of those around me.
I often asked myself what else was out there. What exactly did people that “worked from home” do? How I could work for myself? I never researched it thoroughly but I did a bit of poking around, looking at business opportunities online and in newspapers. I came across people offering to share their secret to wealth and wondered why they needed to tape hand-written signs to railings if they were so wealthy.
I was eventually forced into making a move following a life changing event. My wife and I became the proud parents of 4 children under 20 months old when we added triplets to our family. After taking some time out from working altogether I eventually became self-employed as the owner of a franchise. As a result I met and made friends with others that had taken the step into business ownership.
One day a client, a highly respected Chiropractor, introduced me to an industry that I never knew existed. It’s a growing industry currently worth over £70 billion worldwide. Two things about the industry appealed to me in a huge way. First was the concept of residual income. Doing something once and being paid for it again and again. Just like musicians receive royalties from their songs. However, in this industry, residual income is available to everyone, not just the famous. The second thing that appealed to me was the concept of a network of people working together toward a common goal, all helping each other to succeed and benefitting from each others effort.
I researched the industry further and became very excited by what I found.
Network Marketing can be very lucrative if you are a team player and help others to become successful. It offers a low cost, low risk opportunity to run your own business and can be run part-time alongside an existing business or career. This means that you do not have to risk the security of your regular income.
In the corporate world and even as a franchisee, it was the owners and executives that I was really making money for. In Network Marketing your own success depends on the success of those that you introduce to the business so everybody is focussed on helping each other (it may explain those badly executed adverts that I never understood). Modern payment plans (compensation plans) are designed so that a person can earn more than those “above” them. You rarely if ever see that in the corporate world. Nor do you hear your bosses saying “we want to help you to achieve your goals and dreams”.
I do not consider myself an expert in network marketing, I’m still learning and will continue to do so. Thankfully one does not need to be an expert, you can earn as you learn, because the right team in the right company will have the support, tools and systems in place.
One of the best explanations of network marketing that I have seen comes from an ex US Navy bomb disposal expert turned network marketing expert.
His name is Tim Sales and you can see his excellent presentation HERE
You might not be looking for anything at the moment. All I’ll say is I wish I’d known about this industry 20 years ago. In my opinion watching the video would be 25 minutes very well spent.
If after watching Brilliant Compensation, you are attracted to Network Marketing, you might like to look at the company that I am working with. If so please contact me.
If the idea of adding to your income without risking the income from what you currently do appeals to you, take a look. You’ve got absolutely nothing to lose and could have everything to gain.
Best wishes,
Jon
Well done Jon. Very well put.
