Direct Selling business opportunity

Additional Income through Direct Selling

To maintain our living standard we need more income, our job alone is no longer sufficient for the high cost of living, credit card debt, college education, and the retirement fund. This makes the future comfortable retirement look grim to more and more Americans.

A home-based business earning residual income sounds like the perfect solution to become debt-free and financially secure. Although a home-based business can take any form, direct selling is the one system that can benefit the greater majority of people looking to make extra money. The problem is that few people really understand direct sellings, let alone the compensation plans.

Learning from the stars in direct sales, representatives of Mary Kay, Avon, Tupperware, and other household names, makes it plausible that we can make money with a business opportunity that fits our life style. In my free eBook (found on this blog), I briefly explain the main issues with direct sales. I provide you with links and several tips offered in the Direct Selling Association (DSA) website.

As promised in my previous article I wrote this to regain hope in the American dream, because at this point in our economy most of the population don’t see a debt-free or worry-free future and a business in direct selling may be the answer so I’ll try to give you a slightly different perspective in this post.

When people talk about a business opportunity in direct sales, they usually refer to an entrepreneur-minded individual who is determined to earn extra income from a business from home and to pay for all those extra living expenses, some luxurious and some necessary.

Direct Selling Business Opportunity For All

First we must clarify that direct selling is not a job, when you do direct sales you are not employed by anyone. Direct selling is something you do on your own, person-to-person, one-on-one selling and marketing of a product, and you decide where you want to discuss your offer, you may have presentations with slides and videos, or you may want to have a simple conversation at a coffee/tea bar. You may want to have a business presentation party in your home or the home of someone interested in your products, in which case your host will invite people who know they will hear about a business opportunity in the direct sales industry with the option to buy or join the company.

Business Opportunity Presentation

Direct Selling Business Presentation

Direct selling can be very rewarding when the individual believes and enjoys the products or services to sell. For example, a cook may love selling chocolate or cooking utensils. A technology inclined person may be passionate about digital technology and sell those products. Or the fashion adepts who finds an opportunity to earn additional income selling products they themselves find a must to wear and have.

Is Direct Selling For You?

Selling – the word itself – scares a lot of people. But don’t be afraid, you do it everyday! I would have to mention that I personally believe that a very complacent person may find it difficult to compete with other more outgoing personalities, and they may lack the motivation needed to see results. The usual antidote to that problem is to have a goal and be determined to achieve it, for example, you may have credit card debt of $10,000 and possibly can only pay with extra income.

When looking for that business opportunity we all want to make sure the money you make is legitimate or legal, it’s worth your effort and will actually be a profit after your business expenses, and always keep that goal in mind as you learn the techniques to sell the products, because that may be the motivation you need to succeed in the business. It also helps to know that in the US the IRS rewards you for your business oriented efforts, more about that in my eBook.

We practice selling everyday, although maybe not as extra income.

This can be best explained with an anecdote: you know what happen to children when your store register is lined with candy, they will practice direct selling to get their candy, including promising to eat all their dinner, and you will too when you promise they’ll get it if they can be quiet. So, direct sales in a business opportunity is the same principle, “direct selling” is not weird, it’s a form of business any of us can benefit from. You just need a goal and a reason.

I could go longer with this topic, but I think I made my point. Anyway it will not be far from other posts since my business opportunity with 5LINX is a direct selling initiative, registered, with great compensation plans, nearing a multi billion dollar profit, and rewarding us with stock options and business expenses, and residual income, the overhead is miniscule in comparison to your success.

Income, earning a living

Residual income.

Therein lies the most difficult phrase to understand for normal people, working class, job dependent, retirement builder, otherwise known as regular folk.

It’s difficult to understand because we are taught in life you earn your living through a paycheck or salary.  Very few are fortunate enough to learn that earning a living and income can also be through the ownership of a business. Of that small percentage of people who understand business, the majority believe that you must spill your life over that business to make money.  Honestly, when one has a business one must work very hard to succeed, the fruits of that success is what will dictate how much harder and how many hours a day one has to dedicate to the business.  A dear friend of mine used to say “work smarter, not harder” I have to admit I am such a hard worker that I find myself always working harder, smart yes, but very hard, that’s what a lot of perfectionists do, and that’s what a lot of people who have no clue what they are doing usually do.  Reaching that balance of working smarter not harder is really harder than it sounds.

How can one increase one’s income?

Income to live your dreams

Hold your dreams in your hands. Click to become debt free article.

I wanted to learn how to make some extra money because I was working so hard and I was hardly earning an income.  I was dedicating over 14 hours of my day to work with the salary half that time, noting that I was a lot smarter than that. Noting that I should be doing a lot better to earn a higher income.  What does it take, I often wondered?
Is it lies, is it blowing your resume out of proportion? It’s been known to happen, unfortunately those statistics don’t exist, probably because everyone believes that is the way to get ahead.  Well, more news, I heard for the first time about residual income, passive income and  I just wondered, what the crap is that?

How can you have a residual income?

It took me a few months to get the concept and perhaps a couple of years to realize that anyone can do that, you just have to know. Getting that knowledge and doing the right thing involves self-development, you have to build your backbone, you have to learn about sales and realize that we do that, “sales” all the time, we just don’t know it.  It starts when we are very young and we want that favorite candy or toy and we plead to our parents to get it for us, there is usually a deal, something like this “if you promise blah, blah, blah…, you can have it.”  Later as we get older we try it with our friends, how many people relate to the exchange that takes place in the school cafeteria of an elementary school “you can have my juice if you share a piece of gum,” that’s the trait of selling, may not be income but it sure is the basis of it, it’s called trade.

The most popular form of selling is the one that reaches people through advertising, big commercial ads advertising a product or service, loud, noisy, big banners that get to you and you can’t ignore, they are so annoying that you can’t forget and you feel subconsciously compelled to buy.  But more powerful is the “word of mouth” advertising campaign, everyone knows about it, and the majority of people know about this through the perspective of the customer, the payables side.

Things are a lot different when you are the owner, the receivables side. Direct sales is like word of mouth advertising, it’s effective, no cost, trust worthy, and loyal, if someone you know tells you about a product you will likely try it because of the relationship.

In my next article I will write a little about direct sales, the impact on the population and where the key lies on the recovery of the economy for many people creating additional sources of income.

Business Opportunity to Become Debt Free

Recognizing a Business Opportunity

It is no surprise that many people are looking for an additional source of income, a business opportunity to secure their financial freedom. What is surprising is to see how many people know it is within their control to change their future and continue to do what they have always done ‘even’ when they see no change. And what I mean by that is, you should have the ability to recognize a business opportunity and do something, take action that could change your life.

This lack of skill of “seeing and recognizing an opportunity” can be attributed to the society in which we were raised, the school systems, and the overall view of how people are taught to perceive the world in sort of a “self-fulfilling prophecy” of being told to “study hard, get a good job with good benefits and you’ll find security for your retirement”.

Unfortunately things have not panned out exactly as they pictured it for the past 30 years. Today we are faced with a declining economy, a shift in economic super powers in the world, less exports and too many imports in America, diminishing jobs and increasing cost of life, and too many prescription drugs that are making normal people do things they would never otherwise do, all because they are becoming depressed and stressed out from the inability to hold a job, raise a family, and paralyzing debt. But it doesn’t have to be that way! I am here to tell you of an opportunity that can very easily fit in your life, all that you need is determination, focus, and make it work… anyone can do it, the question is, can you?

Most of us were never taught how to make your own money, or how to recognize a money making business opportunity.

We were raised to be dependent on jobs and employment.

Well, let me reiterate, each human being was created with the ability to create their own destiny, the tools will always be with you because they are your skills, your knowledge, basically what you do and who you are, they are what you learned since you were little.

In these financial times we must recognize those skills, we must recognize business opportunities and act on them. You may be fortunate to be at the right time and the right place reading this business opportunity information to make things right, to improve your life, perhaps to improve your family’s financial future. VIOFS Ventura is that business opportunity for you.

In the 5LINX® presentations we hear about the many wealth trends that in the past 40 years have been presented to many people, some of whom took action and became millionaires, and some who wish to kick themselves for not grabbing the opportunity when it was presented to them.

We are in the middle of the explosive growth of voice over internet protocol communications, otherwise known as VoIP, said by many experts and analysts to be one of the hottest industries to get into. I know that this sounds like something that big companies only can handle, but with direct selling, that is an opportunity that is available to regular people like you and me. Want to know more? Visit me, contact me, your choice, change your future or stay where you are, this may be your best business opportunity ever!

A Secret To Become An Entrepreneur

Why Become an Entrepreneur is a wise investmentBecome an Entrepreneur

If you have experienced loss of income or the confidence to seek a higher income and resolve your financial troubles, reading this article may put you on the right track to improve your life and start thinking of become an entrepreneur.

When the recession hit the United States in 1929 there were very limited opportunities for people to find another way to earn a living, things were very bleak back then, education was not as advanced as it is today because of the flow of information that exists now it is easier to become an entrepreneur. In the past two years we suffered a serious recession that was sometimes compared with the 1930s loss of employment and recession. However, a big difference today is that an individual does not need to have a huge capital to make money in a personal enterprise or become an entrepreneur and have a business.

The Opportunity to Become an Entrepreneur

I was blessed to find a wealth trend that only requires you to have access to the internet and a phone for you to become an entrepreneur and a business partner helping people save money while at the same time making a profit for yourself.  There is no need to buy and stock items in your house, you basically do this business without the trouble of having a business. You do not have to worry about employees, rent, huge overhead, advertising or marketing costs, or large capital to start a business, and yet you can see profits in the first 30 days if you follow a simple plan and if you are ready to embark on your personal enterprise for profit. This is possible because unlike any other time in history, we are positioned in a time and place where technology allows become an entrepreneur a reach of mass production easily when used correctly.

Become an entrepreneur is no easy task, but it’s all worth it

You may have heard negativity from individuals who fail in businesses and you may wonder if this is right for you. What you need to consider before making any harsh judgement is if the failing individual was actually looking for the same thing you are looking for, in other words, sometimes a person is looking for a “job” and wait to be told what to do next. As an entrepreneur you control your own time and efforts and does not look for a job and never waits to be told what to do. Instead, become an entrepreneur means you are proactive and resolve any discrepancies in a business. Time after time we realize that those individuals fail because they quit. I want to quote a leader in my business worthy of admiration for his success and someone whose story is a true inspiration for so many people “Quitters Never Win and Winners Never Quit” says E.J. Pardo who is also an avid student of Napoleon Hill.

To learn about how you can embark and be part of this awesome opportunity, visit my website, there you’ll find links to inspirational videos and more information, but if you know in your heart you have what it takes to become an entrepreneur, go directly to the Make Money section of this page.  Become an entrepreneur in this time and age is easier than it ever was, and like many, you have to demonstrate you have what it takes.

Money and Spirit

Money and Spirit: a balance between being content and being ambitious.

When I was growing up, I was taught that being poor was the best way a person could live, money and spirit were to be separate. Having money meant having a lot of worries and problems. And sometimes it could also mean you could be digging your own grave.  But I was also taught to always think of the future and if you have some today save a little for tomorrow, because you may have nothing tomorrow. Well, I grew up satisfied with what I had, content with what little I could have, but I wondered about the people who inherited so much history and richness from their families, names like the Vanderbilt, Kennedy, and Eastman, and wondered what if felt like to have such family history? How was their money and spirit life?

When I was able to start working, I spent all my money on everything I ever wanted. I did not abide by my mother’s teachings of “save for tomorrow” you could say I was out of touch of the balance of money and spirit.  Good or not, I was living to the fullest, but soon enough I felt the need for more money, to pay my car, to travel, to pay my expensive shoes and sun glasses.  Needless to say I cannot figure out what made me buy those expensive shoes and sunglasses back then.

The difference between a degree and earning a high income around money and spirit.

Life goes on and work takes priority, then family comes along, I started to really feel the need for money to help raise my two children.  I decided to go back to school and get my degree so I could look for a job that would pay more and break out of the glass ceiling I almost reached, but the day I could actually earn a higher salary based on a degree was not in sight, I had not yet reached a good understanding of the balance between money and spirit.

In 2007 I learned about the opportunity to have an extra source of income without leaving your work or changing your life, I was skeptical. However, the business strategy, the platform, the products, the training, and the benefits, could not have been better.  Starting to move forward in this business led me to seek more self-development training.  I had done management training at work, and had read the books of Stephen Covey on leadership and self-development as well as other books from the library, but they never made as much impact to me as it happened this time around, I don’t remember reading much about a good balance with money and spirit.

Money and Spirit Bring Happiness

I remember reading in a book about a little girl who had her first taste of business dissolved when her grandmother forced her to return the money she had made from selling candy!  I realized that many of our reactions to business are just that, reactions influenced by the way we were raised to believe.  So I took a deep look at my beliefs, culture, current economic opportunities, and recognized that I first had to make a change in the way I looked at things, particularly making money.  The book by Chellie Campbell was a total inspiration and a guide to how I should approach my future, this might have been my first connection of having the need to balance money and spirit as a healthy recipe for life.

Armed with the knowledge from those books, I started to appreciate the stories of the people who have succeeded in my business and how this opportunity changed their life; I realized this is exactly what we need an honest balance of money and spirit for success. To learn that in this time and age you do not need a huge capital to get into a very profitable business, or the need to make a proposal for a loan from the bank to own your time and money, or to learn that there is no need to spend countless hours in a business where you lose track of your time and never get to see your family because you become a slave to that business, that has been priceless. One thing is key, you must have the right attitude and everything will fall into place including a good balance of money and spirit.  I can show you how the pieces to the puzzle come together nicely, but I know you can find that out yourself. Being on the right path puts you within reach of abundant knowledge, you must understand, have faith, and keep strong. I can show you what to look for and how to find your path, contact me at MyPlanB@viofsventura.com.

Why money and spirit are so Important.

I wrote a separate article highlighting the importance of money and spirit in life, here is a brief summary that I think is especially important to understand:

In spirit and money, not one replaces the other, we should never prioritize money over personal relations… we make it through with prayer and quietly ask for a way to get out of debt and to have an extra source of income, maybe an opportunity.

The saying “give a man a fish and you’ll feed him for a day, but teach him how to fish and you’ll feed him for a lifetime” is so true. I came across an awesome opportunity and have witnessed people I personally know succeed with this home business and a chance to earn additional income that can supersede your regular salary. Can you imagine yourself making twice or three times your salary and have a chance for unlimited income?

I know you can find something in this post that will relate to you, if you are interested in the business opportunity that has made a huge difference in so many people’s lives, visit my website with links to videos and other resources or if you just want to start your own business and make a difference in your life, go directly to my registration page.  In any case, you have taken a big step into the wisdom of the happiness of so many wealthy people and recognize that you can be part of them with money and spirit in balance.

Time To Dust Off That Financial Plan B

Categories:

Entrepreneurial, Plan B, Uncategorized

May 18, 2011

How I came about a Financial Plan BFinancial Plan B

As with many people around the United States and the World, I also hit the curb, I was out of work, with so much to give, but no income I desperately needed a Financial Plan B.

Five or ten years ago I would have ran to the employment agency, they always find you something quickly, but this time, I was too smart for that, honestly, I had learned that you can and should always have a Financial Plan B.  I had gone through a lot of self-development during my years as an employee, and today I have gone through so many books and videos that I’m focusing on new goals.

It feels like I can breathe now, I was going on autopilot when I was going to work. Driving long distances, sometimes over an hour to get to work and another hour or so to get back home. Overeating at the office parties, over working without being told, exhausted for my family, no time to exercise, and even less time to cook.  When I left the house in the morning, my children were not even up to go to school and when I came back home it was too late to do anything.  How I did this for so many years, it’s beyond me! I could have never thought of a plan b and Financial Plan B really did not make sense to me at the time.

My Financial Plan B (life-saving) Opportunity

When my brother-in-law introduced me to the opportunity to have a home-baseFinancial Plan Bd business and make some extra income, it was a no-brainer for me, I knew I could do this, I knew the products and services in the opportunity would sell themselves, this is when I started to understand what a Financial Plan B looks like. What I didn’t know is that I lacked the confidence to believe in myself.

Nothing new here, the majority of us don’t have a clue of what being an entrepreneur, owning a business, or what a Financial Plan B, is all about, much less determine if we have what it takes to follow through. So I started to read as many books on self-development as I could, sometimes even forcing my kids to listen to audio tapes while on a ride to the mall or the dentists’ office, it is after all the investment towards a Financial Plan B, so maybe all those audios and my experience will instill in my kids a sense of entrepreneurship early in life, and perhaps have their own Financial Plan B in their twenties (hopefully many plans).

Knowing that many who had taken the business opportunity are doing very well, I was not preoccupied on the results for me, I still had a job, the kids had grown enough to find something to do when they were hungry or bored, and we still had a stable income.  But then, my husband was laid-off and while we managed for a few months, sometimes it was hard to tell if we were doing well or worse every time. So the Financial Plan B had to be launched. The best thing is that we did not give up on pursuing a dream to be our own, independent, entrepreneurs. We had learned something that would never change in our minds.  It was comparable to the moment you learn to ride a bicycle, you know you’ll never forget it.

Your investment in a Financial Plan B.

You know you can spend a lot of money on things that will not bring you any profits or even educate you in any way to make profits. When you think of your future and your Financial Plan B, spending on educating yourself should not be a problem, and many of you will agree to that.

Well, the same applies to the services or equipment you need to get in order to get you moving towards developing a Financial Plan B with a business.  For my family, it has been a roller coaster of ups and downs, but we are still going strong, I do not know where the strength comes from, perhaps faith in our success, but we are thankful for what we have, we are keenly aware that any day, any moment we may have a fall, but we know how to get up again and that’s just what we will do!

I hear a lot of people complain about how their mobile phone services work, or that their internet is slow, and yet every month they pay the bill, what doesn’t seem to click in their minds when I tell them of this business opportunity for a successful Financial Plan B, is that they could become their own customers and receive residual income from those same phone and internet bills with this business opportunity, it is the best thing that has happened to us.

Don’t you owe it to yourself to enjoy the fruits of your own labor?

If you are still en employee, you are producing for someone else, you’ll never enjoy the fruits of your labor that way, yes you may have a good salary and perks, but that can come to end because it’s not dependent on you!

So don’t despair, don’t give up, and search that Financial Plan B, dust it off, redesign it, re-analyze it, it is entirely dependent on your input for it to be effective.  If you happen to wonder where to start, let me help you. I am sure we can find something to your liking. Send me an email at MyPlanB@viofsentura.com.  By the way, VIOFS stands for the 5 pillars of strength of our business: Vision, Integrity, Opportunity, Freedom, and Success on your Financial  Plan B.
