Leverage is a concept where effort is amplified. Archimedes, the ancient Greek mathematician, once said, “Give me a long enough lever and a place to stand and I can move the Earth.” Moving the Earth may not be high on your agenda but what about moving your world?

Learning about the right kind of leverage can move your world from barely getting by or worse to one of enjoyment and abundance.

Leverage is used every day. There are only 24 hours in a day. So, if you start a business and you are the only one working it, at most you could get 24 hours of work done each day. If you employed someone, you could get the benefit of their effort as well. If you had an online auction business, you could manage the auctions while they did the packing and shipping.

There is a limit to that kind of leverage since each new employee brings costs. Their contribution must be greater than their costs or it doesn’t make business sense to employ them.

Also, there’s the age old struggle of employees want to do only enough to keep from getting fired and employers want to pay only enough to keep people from quitting.

What if there was a way that each new member of your organization could reap the same types of financial benefits that you do without reducing your profits? Motivational problems aren’t there because they have an interest in the business. After awhile they would build your business with little to no effort from you.

Is this just a fantasy?

This is the world of network marketing. It’s not perfect, it’s just better.

As you work with your company to sell products, you find other like minded people who want to build their own prosperity. Depending on your company, you will get a percentage of the business their business generates. If they find other people who build a business, you will probably get a percentage of their business as well. As your business organization grows, there will be a point where you are receiving more money from other people’s efforts than your own. There is another point, a critical mass, where your organization and income grow exponentially without your effort. This money is called residual income.

This can result in lifestyle freedom where you have the money and the time to do what you want, with whom you want, when you want.

I listened to a teleseminar recently about the beliefs of a very successful network marketer. His first belief really resonated with me, “network marketing isn’t perfect, it’s just better if you do it right.” What does he mean by that?

Traditional career roles fall into 5 major categories – blue collar worker, white collar worker, sales, traditional business ownership and investing. I’m not saying that there’s anything wrong with any of these. Many good people have spent their entire life in these categories. What I’m saying is that if you want a better life, you might want to look outside of them.

One common trait of these categories is the lack of lifestyle. People that work in these categories earn just enough to keep them from going elsewhere or their constant attention is required. Staycations have become the norm today with Someday Isle being one of the most popular destinations.

Working for someone else is building their dreams, not necessarily yours. Robert Kiyosaki has a quote, “Why would you work so hard at something you will never own?”

Being your own boss is the dream of many people, but in reality, traditional business ownership results in the business owning you. If you go on vacation, so does your income.

Investing can give you what you want but has a high barrier of entry, namely, you have to have the money to make more money.

Why is network marketing better? You can get the benefits of business ownership without the problems. You can build it part time, for very little money, while you have other income. It offers the ability to create lifestyle, having the money and the time to do what you want. It utilizes leveraged residual income to give you the ability to take vacations and have your income increase.

Granted, building any business takes hard work. The advantages are that you own it, you can will it to your kids and it can provide you with income so you can “retire” at any age.

At first glance, most people will think that they have a paycheck waiting for them, until they realize that it’s really a scheduled paycheck if they do the work! Every pay period, they start over from scratch.

I know a guy named Mark who was a very successful owner of a real estate brokerage in a hot market. Mark did all the right things with his brokerage and pulled in six and seven figures in profit each year, but he had the same problem as a fast food worker. Every January 1^st, the start of his new pay period, he started from zero, just like a fast food worker starts each week.

Mark realized that no matter how well he did in the past, if he didn’t get back on the hamster wheel, his income would stop. Not only that, he felt like he was running up a down escalator with more competitors, a higher bar set from the previous year, etc. It just became harder and harder to even obtain the previous level.

What Mark, the fast food worker and almost everyone else who works earned was linear income. You trade one unit of work for one unit of pay.

What did Mark do? He found out about earning residual income with a home based network marketing business. He replaced his former income and sold his brokerage. Now, every week, the benefits of his previous efforts are there providing him with residual income. His paycheck is already there before he wakes up on Monday morning. It’s up to him how much he wants to increase it which he does by helping other people become successful as well.

The reason I know Mark is because we work with the same network marketing company. If moving from the down escalator to the up escalator sound appealing to you, go to FreeRKCDForYou.com, and get a free cd from Richard Kiyosaki, the Rich Dad, Poor Dad guy, to get more information.

Retirement is what people often look forward to when they wish they weren’t at work. That’s the model that they learned as they grew up. You work until about age 65 and then you can cut free and do what you want in your golden years.

That model has a lot of assumptions built into it. One is often unspoken but it’s the foundation. It can change everything that you’ve known about retirement. That unspoken foundation is that retirement is a function of finances, not age.

This can work for you or it can work against you. Many people in this economy are finding this out the hard way. They are having to postpone their retirement, sometimes indefinitely. Others are being forced back into the labor market.

How do you get the function of finances to work for you? One of the easiest ways is to work from home in a home based business. When you make money from home, you enjoy a whole host of benefits. You can have more control over your income. You can save a lot on your taxes. And, you can “retire” at any age.

Not all home based businesses are equal though. Some are based on linear income which means if you stop, so does the income. You need a residual income business. That’s where you build the income up and it continues to come in even if you go away on an extended vacation.

Having my own business has been great for me and people ask me about it. In this time of uncertainty, there are a lot of people looking for more financial security.

I recommend a good network marketing business, the best type of a direct selling business. There are a lot of good business reasons for this. In his book, Start Late, Finish Rich, David Bach devotes an entire chapter to creating wealth with a direct selling business. He initially had a negative view of it but after doing his research, he realized that this was a very viable way to create money. Warren Buffett, yes, that Warren Buffett, has bought network marketing businesses because of the boom in their popularity. And this was way before the current economic situation.

What do you get with a good network marketing business? For one thing, it’s a business in a box. You don’t have to start from scratch developing products, marketing materials, stocking inventory, etc. Boom! It’s in there!

You get good training. In network marketing, the person who introduces you to the business won’t become successful unless they help others become successful. It’s in their best interest to get you the best training and mentoring possible.

With network marketing, you can take advantage of two secrets of the wealthy. They are residual income and leverage. Residual Income is where the income continues to come in for the same effort, like an author who receives royalties for her books. You can leverage other people’s efforts. As their business grows, your business grow.

Your success depends on your results not the hours you put in. In the beginning, you will be underpaid. After some success, you will become overpaid as your income increases exponentially.
