The Secret Income of Multi-Millionaires

Own Your Life

Have you ever watched television shows like, “lifestyles of the rich and famous, or cribs” and wondered or dare I say dreamed of what it would be like to live in a mansion, drive a fancy car and vacation wherever you wanted, whenever you wanted.

Truth is most people believe that only those who are talented like Michael Jordon, those who can sing and move like Elvis Presley or those who are born into a legacy like Paris Hilton are the only people who can live that type of lifestyle. Well, I go on the record saying that is untrue. I believe that I do deserve success like that and so do you. You see what I discovered after reading Success In 10 Steps, was that there are two types of income in the world. The first type of income is Linear Income; it’s when you trade time for money. Most people have to work for a living and when you don’t work you don’t receive a paycheck! Plain and Simple. For example if you clock in at 8:00am you start getting paid, when you clock out at 5:00pm you stop getting paid. Therefore when the work stops, the check stops—no income.

There is nothing wrong with having a Linear Income. It is considered to be an honorable form of earning a living. Some people earn great money, from a few dollars an hour to hundreds of dollars an hour depending on their occupation. About 90% of people around the world are accustomed to this type of income. Linear income earners must be physically present or “clocked in” to receive a paycheck. It is because of this that most people are not financially independent. Linear income earners can be laid off, downsized or fired at any time. As a linear income earner you have no control over what happens with your employment. Generally, the only way you can receive a promotion is if your boss is promoted or demoted. As a linear income earner you are not able to pass your job down to your children, grandchildren or great grandchildren once you retire.

Now, the second type of income is Royalty income also known as passive, recurring or residual income. Multi-millionaires know that the secret to creating true wealth is in creating Royalty/Residual Income. These are the Michael Jordan’s and Elvis Presley’s of the world; the business owners, professional network marketers, investors, etc. Their income continues to be generated because they did the work right the first time. Residual income earners don’t worry about “clocking in,” they can be absent for periods of time and still see consistent income from their business. When you earn residual income you can be in the hospital, in the shower, on a private plane, in Hawaii, or asleep and you will still see the checks in the mail or the direct deposit transactions on your bank statement. Wow isn’t that the Life!

Residual or Royalty income earners are the boss; they have total control, they own their life. Wouldn’t you like to be in that position? Where you own your life and are able to pass your business down so that it pays your children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. That’s what Elvis Presley did, he had enough hit songs that his daughter Lisa Marie collects a “royalty check” from the record company every time someone plays her daddy’s song on the radio or downloads one of his songs from iTunes. She never has to have a hit album, or work for that matter; unless she wants to, because while she is shopping in Beverly Hills, drinking a cool drink on South Beach or sleeping—she is still making money!! Elvis Presley left his family a legacy. He left a ready made pipeline of income versus working a job until you retire or die and leaving your children with nothing but debt.

Now you may be reading this thinking I don’t have the skills needed to earn that type of income. So I am stuck. My question to you is? Are you willing to learn? Did you learn to drive a car? Learn to use a computer and email? Oh my gosh, I bet you even learned to be a pretty good parent. Yep, me too that’s why I am glad I found the book Success in 10 Steps, it helped teach me the skills I needed to succeed and start creating that residual income that will pay my children, and their children and so on. I want to leave a legacy for my family, don’t you? Why should it be only for the Michael Jordan’s, Elvis Presley’s, and Paris Hilton’s of this world?

Would you rather be the individual with the Linear Income living from paycheck to paycheck without control over your success, unable to spend quality time with your children, and always sick because you have dreams and goals but are unable to achieve them? Or would you rather be the Royalty/Residual income Earner who has full control of their life, spends quality time with their kids and family regularly, is able to leave an inheritance for the future, doesn’t have to sit on their goals and dreams and can show others how to do the same?

You Decide. I believe that you CAN and DO Deserve Success!

What Is Network Marketing?

Your Hidden Talent

Network Marketing is simply referral Marketing. It is not a business but it is a way of doing business. It is not about “get rich quick schemes” the industry is very much misunderstood by many people. It requires work, effort, determination, a positive mindset and the proper skills. Instead of paying large sums to advertising agencies to promote a product or service, a large number of companies prefer to pay independent business owners, distributors or affiliates to spread the word.

Referring is nothing more than doing what already comes naturally. Until I read Success in 10 Steps, I didn’t realize that I had this hidden talent and had been doing it since I was about 5 years old. Think of all the earning potential that has passed me by! That e-book taught me how to use that hidden skill and get paid for it. When you tell a friend, coworker or family member about a great movie you watched you are recommending or referring. Even though you didn’t know about it and didn’t get paid for it, that’s what you were doing, “naturally.” Network Marketing is about sharing information and making each other’s lives better.

How is income generated? When referred customers purchase products or services. That income grows exponentially when the people we refer, refer others, who in turn refer others, etc. In other words as the number of referred people increases, either by us or by those we refer; so does our income.  Then it begins to have a snowball effect! That’s the power of time leveraging, which is automatically built into Network Marketing. Success does not depend on personally referring large numbers of people, but rather in referring and teaching network marketing principles; like those I found in the Free book Success in 10 Steps to a small number of people.

To give you a better understanding of how network marketing works and how it is also referral marketing: what if you had the choice of being given a million dollars or a penny a day that doubles every day for a month or for the rest of your life? Which would you choose? If you choose the million it can be here today, gone tomorrow. However if you choose the penny, in 30 days you would have $5,368,709.12! Just think about how much you would have as those pennies continues to double over 60 days, 90 days, 5 years, 10 years, etc. That’s the power of network marketing! This is why network marketing when coupled with a dynamic five pillars company and the proper skills training WORKS!

Network Marketing is rapidly becoming the number one way to do business for so many people around the world. It creates residual income, you possess full control of your life, you are able spend quality time with your children and grandchildren regularly and able to leave an inheritance for the future. It can be passed down from generation to generation and pay your children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, etc. and you will never have to live paycheck to paycheck again! The Best part is you get the honor and privilege of showing and teaching others the skills to do the same. My mentor, Michael Dlouhy has been successfully building a network marketing empire for over 30 years and has been debt free the last seventeen of those years! I am on my way to doing the same and it all started with one free book Success in 10 Steps.
