For the Entrepeneurial Spirited Person
59There are reasons for doing everything in Life and I feel that I have a message to share to everyone that is willing to listen........
In my opinion it's important to choose a career that suits you the best. I like to be in business for myself and the reason is that I am not tied down to punching in or being strapped to my chair all day long. When I was in the Army I couldn't stand being told what to do all the time so I decided to get out and learn about life. I didn't do well and later found that I needed something solid in which to build from. I needed a CAREER and I wasn't getting there working as a gopher for someone else. I had good ideas and they would never get used if I were to work for someone elses CAREER. I needed to do something that will help others and help myself. It has taken me many years to figure out what I want to do and many trials as well.
I made a decision and I decided to go into business for myself. I had no idea what I wanted to do but I at least did something to get out there and learn about how to do things that are relevant to having my own business. I can't tell how many times I fell on my face and how many times I made mistakes and how much money I've spent over the years in opening up my own shop. I in my opinion was a failure and I just couldn't get it out of my head and everything I did was wrong, in my families' opinion. This is why I am choosing to show this exerpt from Donalds and Roberts book "Why we Want You to be Rich". I think it's important that we all have choices and we all have something that we want to do in life. I think it's a shame that most are scared to fail because of what others may say or what we will think about ourselves. There is concern amongst those who truly care about others and what happens to them.
I am the end product of numerous studies, philosophies, interests, jobs, careers, hobbies. I've done almost everything you can think of. I served in the Military during the Gulf War, I lived in a Monastery, I lived in the streets. It's important to know that I am so grateful of everything that I made a decision to do. Yes, I take full responsibility of my life and the things that I went through. The point I'm making is that you can do anything you want in life and if you want to be a winner then be a winner, and if you want to be a loser, well then I would consider thinking about the consequences because there ARE consequences to every action. Again I chose this to share because it's important to know that we all have choices and if this helps you to make a choice to be wealthy, then your on the right road, if not I wish you the best of luck. Everyone deserves to be blessed and everyone deserves to have money, food, clothing, a house, cars, friends, etc. in abundance. So choose what you want out of life and go and get it like there's no tomorrow.
There is Concern Amongst the very Rich and Everyone Else
Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki are concerned. This concern is that the rich are getting richer but America is getting poorer. America is becoming a two class society. Soon you will be either rich or poor. Donald and Robert want you to be rich. This phenomenom - the shrinking middle class - is a global problem, but predominantly in the richer G-8 nations (Countries such as England, France, Germany, Japan, etc.) Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said, "As I have often said, this is not the type of thing which a democratic society - a capitalist democratic society - can really accept without addressing". He went on to explain how the income gap between the rich and the rest of the US population has become so wide, and is growing so fast, that it might eventually threaten the stability of democratic capitalism itself.
The Problem with Society is Education
What did the Federal Reserve Chairman state as the main cause of the problem? In one word his answer was "education". Mr Greenspan points out that U.S. children test above the world average levels at the 4th grade level. But by the 12th grade level, they are far behind. He says, "We have to do something to prevent that from happening".
Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki also place the blame on the lack of education. But they focus on a different type of education, . . . Financial Education. Both men are concerned about the lack of quality financial education, because the United States moved from being the richestcountry in the world to the biggest debtor nation in history so quickly.
Different Types of Financial Advice
There are three kinds of financial advice: advice for the poor, advice for the middle class, and advice for the rich. The financial advice for the poor is that the government will take care of them. the poor are counting on Social Security and Medicare. The financial advice for the middle class to get a job, work hard, live below your means, save your money, invest for the long term in mutual funds and diversify. Most people in the middle class are passive investors or investors who work and invest not to lose. The rich are active investors who work and ivest to win. Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki are best-selling authors and popular speakers because they teach people to expand their means and improve the quality of their lives rather than work hard to live below their means. They want people to work and invest to win. One of the ways they suggest people invest in themselves is to start their own business - a network marketing business to be specific.
Isn't Network Marketing a Pyramid Scheme?
I am often asked if network marketing is a pyramid scheme. My reply is that corporations are all really pyramid schemes. A corporation has only one person at the top, generally the CEO, and everyone else below.
A true network marketing business is the exact opposite of a traditional business model. The network marketing business is designed to bring you to the top, not keep you at the bottom. A true network marketing business does not succeed unless it brings people to the top.
Why Network Marketing?
Donald Trumps Response
Marketing is a powerful tool, and network marketing can increase that power, provided you're self-motivated. In a simple visual, see a product and remove the advertising agency from it. It's up to you to do the marketing and advertising.
This is a big job, but it can be done if your passionate enough to get going on your own and to keep the momentum and motivation going at a high level. It requires an entrepeneurial spirit, and that means focus and perserverance. I don't recommend network marketing to peopl who are not highly self-motivated.
Another important aspect of network is that it's inherently social, so if your not a social or outgoing person, I'd think twice about getting into it. Sociability is a requirement. Just like in advertising, there's no point in having a fantastic advertising campaign if the product is unequally fantastic. Also, keep in mind that if you decide to become a distributor, or associate, you'll be legally responsible for the claims you make about the product or service, the company and the available opportunities. But above all, make sure the product is worth your energy and total devotion. Otherwise, you could be energetically spinning your wheels.
Robert mentions the importance of going beyond your comfort zone when it comes to network marketing. He also mentions giving yourself enough time. these are good points to consider. I agree that leadership qualities are critical for success. You definately have to have a take-charge, can-do attitude.
As with any other undertaking, know everything you can about what your doing before you begin. Network marketing has proven itself to be a viable and rewarding source of income, and the challenge could just right for you.
There have been some remarkable examples of success, and those successes have been earned through, dilligence, enthusiasm, and the right product combined with timing. As with so many issues, there are tangibles and the intangibles involved, but success is not a total mystery, and that applies to network marketing, as well.
Most people have heard of focus groups, a research tool advertising agencies use. When they're testing a new product they go to different locations and simply ask everyday people what they like and don't like about new products. It's best if you can keep the focus group idea close at hand when deciding about a product. Just because you like it doesn't mean everyone else will. Finding a common denominator in product appeal will matter.
My advice about network marketing is to do your research, and put everything you've got into your product.
Genuine enthusiasm is hard to beat, and the odds will be with you.
