The Hunt For Money

by Jim Lynn

As I pulled out a Post Office receipt from my pocket today, I was struck with the notion of how dependent all of us are on the availability of money in our lives. For most of us that availability hinges on having a job, a pension plan, receiving social security or help from our family. But those resources are temporary and meager at best and unreliable at their worst.

Staying employed seems to be the number one issue for most Americans, because it is through employment that we think we are best able to pay bills and put food on the table. But millions of hard-working Americans have lost their jobs in recent years. And the ups and downs of the stock market have robbed millions more of their retirement pension. Social Security is there for sure, but being dependent on SS means living below the poverty level.

We dream of having the freedom to do those things in life we would like to do but do not do, simply because there is not enough money. It seems no matter how many hours we work, no matter how much money we can set aside, there is never enough money to break free.

Sadly many Americans have taken on debt as a way to finance their lifestyle. But being indebted means more hours to work, more sacrifices to be made. Indebtedness is not the answer, it frequently imprisons us beyond our capacity to escape. According to the credit card industry, the average credit card debt is $9,000, and half of all U.S. households report difficulty paying their minimum monthly payments. This means millions of families will spend many years just to pay what they owe. There has to be a better way to live and work, to be free of money concerns. Fortunately there is!

Begin a Home-based Business:

Starting a part-time home-based business is the number one way the average person can escape the time and money trap. Set-up cost is usually less than $500, and comes with many tax advantages that can place immediate cash in the business-owner's pocket. A typical part-time home business owner can realize several thousands of dollars in tax savings, regardless of whether the business operates at a profit or loss.

Network marketing is far and away the easiest route to owning a home-based business. Network marketing represents a huge industry. Annual revenues are estimated in excess of $100 billion, and are growing more than 10 percent annually. According to Forbes magazine, of the 300 billionaires in the U.S., at least three of them made their fortunes in network marketing. Hundreds more are millionaires, and thousands more are making a $100,000 or more annually. Many of these people started with nothing more than a vision to escape the time and money trap they once were in.

With a network marketing home-based business you are able to determine your own level of involvement, to set your goals and business plan accordingly. Rather than exchanging your time and energy for a paycheck, you decide what your reward will be based on the time and effort you put into your business.

Leveraging Time:

How much money are you worth an hour? I know each of us fully believes we are truly worth much more than what we are  actually paid. But consider this...If you are a salaried employee, receive an hourly rate for each hour worked, or simply get paid for services rendered, your time is worth exactly the amount you agreed to work for...and no more. Money earned in this manner is generally referred to as linear income.

Now there is nothing wrong with linear income. People can earn good money by it. Hourly wages can run from a few dollars to hundreds of dollars per hour. There is, however, one BIG drawback involved with linear income...Income is limited to the number of hours worked, and ONLY pays when you work. In other words, when you stop work, it stops! So while linear income may be the manner in which most Americans earn their pay checks, it is also the main reason why so many of us cannot afford to retire.

With network marketing you are paid for creating value, instead of your time. It's called time leveraging. With time leveraging, there is no hourly limit placed on your worth. Increasing amounts of money may continue be earned irregardless of time spent...hence the name - time leveraging. Your time spent creating value becomes increasingly worth more and more. So if time is worth money, leveraged time has no upper limit of its worth.

Are You Ready For Change?

As you consider what you have read, ask yourself these two questions.

If I cannot obtain financial freedom now, when?
If I am not willing to help myself, who will?
