Do you think you have what it takes to be an entrepreneur?

First and foremost you have to ask yourself a few questions.

1) Do you want to be an entrepreneur?
2) Are you willing to become one?


If the answer is yes to BOTH of these questions, you're already there. The only thing holding you back from success is you. The only variable between wanting to be successful and being successful is just that, wanting it.

If you want something bad enough you will have more than enough passion and determination to be successful. If you don't want it, well then you won't have it.

So you've read a negative review on the internet, now what?

Ahh,

Here we are, surfing the web for any possible reason to back out, because it cannot be this easy, or can it?

When I first heard about the company I did what every other normal person in this age would do, I googled it. Can you guess what I found?

Negative reviews.

I thought, "okay perfect now I can stop dreaming and wondering 'what if?' 'is this real life?'" and go back to my normal every day routine. I got what I needed and that was that. However, someone decided to point out to me that things I do everyday and places I go have negative reviews online and I have never paid attention before. Last week your spinach has a possible recall (for unknown reasons), the place you purchased your vehicle has some bad reviews, but you had a good experience, Walmart doesn't have 100% positive reviews online... Why are you letting an under qualified source depict your future. I encourage you to do your own research, not just something you can read online. Contact the company, join a meeting or go to some training.

I know how easy it is to let someone else decide for you, especially someone online you don't even know. Because honestly, it's easier to find any reason to give up or any excuse you have available to give in than it is to take a chance on yourself.

But what if?

What if you made a decisive for yourself, for your own life, and your own future?
Your bank account will thank you for it.


I know negative reviews can be scary, but if you look at any successful company you will find the same things, people have a hard time watching others succeed when they are too afraid to do the same.

What do you have to lose?

You are afraid to leave your comfortable lifestyle, and I'm afraid of routine.

You have one life, you own it, no one else.

What's stopping you?

What's stopping you from becoming financially free?

Do you enjoy your job and working for your boss?
Do you enjoy working set hours?
Do you enjoy not being able to control your pay cheque?
Do you enjoy building someone elses dream?

If you answered no to any of the questions, what is it that is holding you back?

Is it that you are earning an income that pays the bills right now and you don't need any help?

Don't let 50k/year keep you from 50k/month, on your own terms.

Is it that you are afraid of failure or don't trust the system?

There will be haters, doubters, and non-believers, and then there will be you, proving them wrong. The truth is we are all human, and we fail a lot, at our normal every day jobs we fail in some way or another every single day, but what happens when we succeed? Well, where you are currently at, nothing right? It's just a normal day. When you make the decision to become financially free success is rewarded, big time. Sure, you're afraid to fail, but what are you doing right now? Do not fail YOURSELF, try.

Is it that you thinking building a business will take too much time and effort?

Well, the truth is you are focusing all of your time and effort on building someone elses business.. you didn't think of it this way did you? You go to work and drain all of your time and effort building a business every single day, the only thing stopping you from becoming financially free is that you aren't building your own. You are building a business right now, make sure it's your own. Time will pass whether you make yourself a priority or not, so why not do it?

Is it because you're scared of what people are going to say?

Well ultimately people are going to talk whether you are doing bad or good, so you may as well be doing something beneficial. Plus, this is a great word of mouth referral system. Sure, you may have a few people who aren't supportive, but I guarantee they are the first ones to ask you how you became so successful. At the end of the day you have to ask yourself one question: Can I pay the bills with their opinions? Last time I checked haters do not pay the bills, you do.


You believed in Santa Clause for like, 8 years, you can believe in yourself for 5 minutes.
You are your biggest obstacle, if you want to become financially free, then do it, it really is that simple.

If you were given $86,400 a day, what would you do with it?

Some food for thought... What are you going to do with your $86,400? Make today count for a better tomorrow.

Debunking The MLM Pyramid Scheme Myth

In todays world of online business and marketing mlm gets a big thumbs up from people like Donald Trump, Robert Kiyosaki, and other well known business people from around the world. If these people are giving mlm a big thumbs up then why is it that many ordinary folk turn cold the moment they hear the word "mlm?" Good question, and one which needs to be honestly addressed.

The problem with most folks is that if you were to draw an mlm's business structure it resembles a pyramid. Now this pyramid structure is not a problem in itself, however, because some unscrupulous people have used the basic mlm business structure to promote their scams mlm has inherited all the negative connotations that are associated with the word "pyramid."


Lets think about a pyramid for a moment. At the top is one person, then on the next level down there might be three to five people, then on the next level down there might be nine to fifteen people, and so on. Now the further you go down on each level the lager the numbers get. This is true both in mlm and traditional corporate business. Yes I did say tradition corporate business.


You see, traditional corporate business also has a pyramid shape to its structure. Lets consider this for a moment. At the top is only one CEO, then on the next level down are your managers (usually two to three), then on the next level down is middle management (can be up to ten or more), then on the next level are the front line supervisors (possibly 20 or more), then last but not least are the company floor workers, which could number in the thousands.


As you can clearly see, corporate business has a pyramid shape to it's employee structure. So then as I mentioned above, the pyramid structure in and of itself is of no concern as far as legitimate business goes.


So what actually is the problem? My whole purpose for writing this article is to debunk the myth that mlm is nothing more than an illegal pyramid scheme.


The problem began when unscrupulous people started creating "business opportunities" that involved recruiting other people for monetary compensation using the pyramid structure to make "false" monetary claims.
Typically the person being recruited is told that whenever they recruit new people into the "opportunity" they will be paid a commission from the new persons entry fee. The more people, they are told, that they can recruit the more money they will make.


Now there are two problems with this. Firstly this kind of activity is illegal, secondly there is no actual product to be seen, only recruitment fees. Eventually this illegal system can not sustain itself and it collapses.


Legitimate mlm businesses, however, have a core product that is sold to both retail customers and members themselves. Although mlm uses a pyramid for its organizational and commission structure, the core activity is distributing product.


Now mlm products also include membership sites. For example, I'm a member of 7Minute Work Out.com which costs me $9.95 per month. For my membership fees I get dozens of videos teaching me how to exercise correctly, as well as up to date nutritional information. Whenever I sponsor a new member into this "membership" site, I get paid a monthly commission. The only fees being paid here those required to obtain the product. This is how every legitimate mlm business is run.


I'm also a member of another mlm company where I have over 2500 people in my down-line. Now this company is free to join and remains free as long as you want to be a free member. However, I'm making some good money from this company because there are over 4300 products both physical and digital which I sell everyday. Actually I don't do any selling because all members are also customers and buy what they want when they want.


As you can see, although mlm is based around a pyramid for its organisational and commission structure there is nothing wrong with using this kind of business structure so long as there is a legitimate product that is being sold.


So the next time you hear the word "pyramid," I encourage you to think of mlm and the word "pyramid" in a new light. There is absolutely no reason to fear going into business with an mlm company so long as you've done your research and you've determined that their product or products are real.

Working for a living

Do you ever find yourself thinking “I don’t want to go to work today” or “Urg its Monday again?!” How about the classic “Do I really need money THIS badly or can I quit my job.. because it so isn’t worth it!”
Well, honestly I’m sure we’ve all been in that position. I know I constantly dream of being on a beach, while sipping cocktails and getting paid. Impossible right?!

Wrong.

The sad reality is that we have all been lead to believe that going to work 9-5 for something you don’t enjoy, just so you can scrape by and hardly make ends meet is what “making a living” truly means. Lets break that down. Making a living. What we have been taught is that going to the bank to borrow money for things you don’t really ever own, going to the grocery store deciding if you should buy that tooth paste now or wait until next pay, or my favorite, sacrificing your physical and mental health because well, if you don’t go to work that day you aren’t able to pay for your daughters dance class are things we find “normal”. A normal situation in any average middle class house hold will include other “normal” things like debt, stress and financial burden without any spare time left over in the equation. “Making a living” is not living at all.

What if I told you “normal” doesn’t have to be this way?

Sure, you could take away the already depleted time for yourself and your family and find another part time low paying job so you can buy that tooth paste this week. Who is going to take your kids to soccer? Oh, and you just forgot your daughter has a dance recital and your son needs new shoes for basketball. Now what? There is no more time left in the day to have another mediocre job to try and make ends meet. What if I told you that you don’t HAVE to live pay cheque to pay cheque? What would you say?

Contrary to what you have been told in the past, you ARE allowed to have your own dreams, you ARE allowed to actually MAKE A LIVING, not what you have been brain washed into thinking your entire working career. Are you familiar with debt? Would you like to get rid of your debt while helping others? Well, we can do that for you.


We believe that anyone can be someone; anyone can make a difference and choose to become financially free. Ultimately the choice is yours, you can get up every morning and go to “work” for something or someone that doesn’t make you feel alive, or passionate or happy, OR you can get up and decide “today I am going to make a difference for myself, my family, and everyone else”. It comes down to one choice.. Do you want to work for someone else’s dream or do you want to live your own?


Our moto is” Helping main street families get the protection they need at a price they can afford, invest for the future and get out of debt. We teach families fundamental financial principles that aren’t taught in school and we give them an opportunity to build a business and transform their life.”

This is not just a “come to work and go home job” it really isn’t a job at all, it is a career opportunity created by yourself and our company (family) fuelled by your dreams and ambitions. Here we appreciate you and want to see you succeed and become financially free.

I know this is hard to wrap your head around considering your whole adult, and quite possibly even adolescent life you have been told that you go to school, accumulate a mass amount of debt, spend the remainder of your years struggling to pay it off, pay your bills, save for retirement and THEN, finally at age 65 you get to relax, but only if you saved enough money.

But it really is that simple… you can dream the biggest dreams and we will make that happen. There is no dream too big for us. You set your financial income, you make your hours, you make a difference and YOU are your own boss. How nice would that feel?

“Well it's a pyramid scheme”

(I knew it was coming, “this is too good to be true”)

Of course you are thinking that, up until now you were working for someone elses dreams, it cannot be this easy.

Well, it is.


Lets draw a picture, where you currently “work” you have a boss, correct? That boss then has managers, under those managers what comes next, you. What comes after you? Well, more yous. Is there anywhere else for you to grow and thrive? Are you able to walk into your bosses office and say “Hey, I think I would like $20,000 this month” or “I don’t feel like coming in on Monday, but I still expect to be paid”
No, I didn’t think so.

After you have realised this, I want you to think about something else. People have a hard time realizing that life is meant for more than working to pay bills until you die. Sure, your uncle Frank tells you it’s a pyramid scheme because he walked 87 miles to work both ways uphill in his day and you are made to work excruciatingly hard for a small pay cheque. To me self earned income means more time with family, appreciation, fulfillment, passion and opportunity. People are scared of what they don’t know. It’s easy to pretend debt isn’t a big deal because everyone has it, well you don’t have to.


What if I told you the only thing standing between you and financial freedom is you?
