So many people have a negative outlook on Network Marketing companies, and for most people it’s because they were sold on the idea of making tons of money the easy way. No matter what network marketing company you join, understand the time and commitment you must make to yourself.

It really is your own business, no one else is going to do it for you. If you are not out there trying to promote your product or service, no one will buy, and if you aren’t willing to help people that you get involve (your team) then of course you are going to fail. Just don’t blame the company, blame yourself, too many people are looking for a free ride and when it doesn’t happen they yell SCAM!

Successful people in any network marketing company have worked hard to get where they are today and if anyone is to yell scam, take a look at what is happening on wall street. Large companies making terrible investments, bank loaning money that people can’t afford, sending them into foreclosure, and destroying millions of peoples futures. Yet no one is yelling SCAM!

This is a matter of taking responsibility!

With most network marketing companies there is a start up fee less than $1000, but Wall Street wiped out people 401k’s, banks have foreclosed on peoples houses, and people are worried about the $1000 that they spent starting their own business.

When I first changed my thinking from go to school and get a good job to start your own business and build assets, I read that 9 out of 10 businesses fail.  So I decided that it was ok to fail as long as I learned from it, and then I was just one step closer to having a successful business.

You truly only fail if you QUIT!

So make the commitment to keep going, you have trusted you banker to keep your money safe and look at how many bank have either gone under or been acquired due to there own terrible investments. Your financial advisor tells you to diversify your 401k, but with it all in the market you have little control during turbulent times. But they assure you the market will bounce back, but when, what if you are about to retire and you just lost 60% of your retirement.

Start NOW, make a promise to yourself to take more control over your financial future.

With a network marketing company you can start up for under $500, and get all the coaching you need, take as long as you want and have a support system in place when you have questions. No where else is any one more willing to help you build your business and become successful than in a network marketing organization.

Start NOW, it’s never too early to start and it’s never too late to start. Begin to build a business that works for you, NOT you working to build someone elses business.

Best part is that you don’t even have to leave your current job!

Start this as a part-time business and grow it, once you can replace your current salary, then go full time. Think about it, what could you do with the extra money you would be making?

Now many of you are probably saying you don’t have the time, and I truly understand that! Being a father of 3 under 3 keep my wife and I very busy. and we love to spend time with them, but we also know that if we can invest a few hours each week while they are sleeping in our network marketing business, then in a few short years we can spend all the time we want with them, go on as many vacations as we want, be at all of their sporting events, and be there for them without having to worry about losing our jobs.

If you have never heard of Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad, he has been one of the most influential people in my life. He really did change the way I see my financial future. Take a look at this video, he’ll give you a quick overview of his philosophy and why a network marketing company will work for you.

Three headline that really caught my attention are just terrifying to so many people.

Here’s why, take a look at this hypothetical situation, headline 1 talks about the JobLess and unemployment on the rise. The second one deals with the housing market continuing to decline and the third about mutual funds having to lay off people.

Now, losing your job is gut wrenching, add to that having a house that you may not be able to afford and now you can’t sell it and if you do, you lose tens of thousands of dollars, and just to add to the problem, your 401k and retirement accounts may be at risk if they have not already been wiped out by the market dropping out on you.

Weekly jobless claims rise 15000 to 478000
MarketWatch - By Rex Nutting, MarketWatch WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — Jobless claims moved higher last week, pointing the way to an increase in the nation’s unemployment rate, economists said Thursday.

Home prices post annual 5 pct decline in August
BusinessWeek - A government report says US home prices fell a record 5.9 percent in August from the same month last year. The Federal Housing Finance Agency also says prices, on a seasonally adjusted basis, fell 0.6 percent from July to August.

Janus, AllianceBernstein Slash Jobs; Cuts May Worsen (Update1)
Bloomberg - By Sree Vidya Bhaktavatsalam and Gillian Wee Oct. 23 (Bloomberg) — Janus Capital Group Inc. and AllianceBernstein Holding LP are firing workers to cut costs as the global bear market erases investor assets and profits across the mutual-fund industry.

How do you recover, where do you earn money from, what about your house, how do you afford it, gas prices, though they are coming down, they are still high, and having your retirement account wiped out with a market crash, now you have to start over.

What do you do?

I have spent the last 4 years preparing for just a crash like this. I don’t count on the market, I count on the fact that after it goes up for a period of years it will come down. I don’t worry if I were to lose my job, I have built a Second Salary (a passive residual monthly income) to support me and my family in just such times.

While most people are looking to climb in a hole and ride this turbulent time out, I’m looking to buy!

I’m not putting money in the market just yet, but I’m looking into real estate and Virtual Real Estate that has a positive monthly cash flow. All because of My Second Salary!

In times like this are you worried about your job! Everyone used to think working on Wall Street was the way to financial freedom. Look where that got them now!

Today headline hits home with my sister-in-law working at Goldman Sachs. 

 What would happen if you were to lose your job tomorrow?

 How long would you be able to survive with out a job?

 I have been working on My Second Salary for the past few years, here’s what I figure. If over the next few years I can build a passive residual income that is equivalent to my salary, it would be fantastic! I wouldn’t have to worry about losing my job, and since it is a passive residual income, I can survive without working.

It’s a great feeling seeing what is happening in the world today.

With the Your Travel Biz’ (YTB) announcement on May 13th, of a partnership with the Kansas City Chiefs, a tsunami was started in the sports industry.

What we are looking at today could be a huge revenue producer for all sports teams that take advantage of this incredible travel opportunity. Here’s how it works. YTB creates a branded travel portal for the team and allows them the ability to have any one mainly fans to book travel through their site, they earn a commission and offer some special team related perks. It’s a Win/Win, the fans support their team, the team has a new revenue source and has a chance to offer some great benefits back to the fans.

The travel portal offers a way to make travel arrangements, book vacation packages, car rentals, hotels, airfare, and much more, just like Expedia and Orbitz. Now, instead of Expedia and Orbitz getting the travel commission, the organization will get it.

Take a look at the Kansas City Chief’s new travel website at ChiefsTravel.com, the Chiefs are giving fans more incentive to make their travel plans through their site with Away Game Packages, Home Game Packages, Group Travel to Arrowhead Stadium, even a Cruise with the Chiefs. Why wouldn’t a raving fan who buys tons of Chiefs apparel and face paint book travel through them. If you have a stadium full of these loyal fans, it only makes sense to give them a way to make their travel plans.

This is just the first of many sports teams that are going to just onboard with this program. Not only can your fans make their travel arrangements for the games, but think about it. Once they use the new site, why would they go to another travel site. That means they will book their family vacations, they will tell their friends and family about it. This stands to be huge revenue source for sports team.

And if you are wondering about pricing…That’s a shocker you won’t believe! You will just have to call to find out.

“Fueling Google’s travel plans is consumers move to researching and booking vacations online. In 2007, more travel sales were booked online than in person, says Google’s Rob Torres. “That means travel marketers, many of whom already spend millions on search ads and the like, will likely shift more of their budgets to the Web…rather than try to convince travel marketers to advertise on user-generated videos, they can sell sponsored destination pages on YouTube where travel marketers can post their own videos and influence or control what types of content users upload.”

Total revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 increased 76.7% to $42.7 million, compared to $24.2 million for the first quarter last year. The Company’s property and equipment increased from the December 31, 2007 balance of $15.4 million to $18.9 million as of March 31, 2008 or 22.7%. The number of RTAs increased to 138,814 in the first quarter of 2008 from 82,932 in the comparable quarter of 2007. The Company believes the significant increased number of RTAs is attributable to the emerging market shift for travel services to the Internet.

Net loss for the first quarter of 2008 was $3.5 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $2.2 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2007. The loss is primarily attributable to stock awards, and promotional and expansion expenses totaling approximately $3.1 million. As of March 31, 2008, the Company had $1.3 million in cash and cash equivalents. Net cash used in investing activities was $4.1 million during the first quarter of 2008 compared to $1.3 million used in the first quarter of 2007.

Scott Tomer, Chief Executive Officer of YTB, commented on the first quarter results, stating, ‘We are pleased by the significant increase that we experienced in our top-line results during the quarter. This growth speaks directly to the demand for our travel related services, and our ability to meet or exceed specific sales growth objectives through diligent execution. We are acutely aware that sustainable growth requires reinvestment in our company, and with this in mind, we incurred several charges during the quarter, directly related to the promotion of our brand, and the retention of our top performers and personnel. During the quarter, we also incurred expenses related to our expansion into three new countries to help build our international presence. Primarily due to these investments in our company, we reported a loss for the quarter.’

Mr. Tomer continued, ‘During this first quarter we continued to focus on the sale of travel by our RTAs, as well as the strengthening of our executive team. We welcomed two new members to our Board of Directors, Mr. Paul Hemings and Mr. Burt Saunders, and we are excited by the valuable experience that they bring from their respective fields. Looking forward, we plan on continuing to execute our stated mission to revolutionize the travel field by offering affordable travel and unique opportunities for motivated individuals to participate within this burgeoning industry.

‘We see our recent move to the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board as a positive step forward for us, and welcome the new investors that are now able to participate in the growth of our company.’
