You want to improve your life but you are complaining that your life is full now.
Working a second job is out of the question.
What's the solution? I was like that as well.
One job had me working so much that six weeks after we bought a puppy, he was still treating me like a stranger when I would come home.
That was an eye opener! How does someone really get ahead without being so busy making a living that they can't live? One of the concepts that works is called leverage.
You have to be able to get more from your efforts than you are putting in.
Most people's concept of leverage is the lottery.
There are at least two types of leverage that are used by people that you think of when you think wealth - Trump, Carnegie, Getty, Gates, Buffett.
You can leverage money, sometimes called OPM or Other Peoples' Money, and time, sometimes called OPT or Other Peoples' Time as well as OPE or Other Peoples' Efforts.
The first type is money leverage.
This is where you invest your money to get a large return.
Unfortunately, for most of us, we don't have the large amounts of money to begin with in order to become wealthy with this.
This is probably best used to enhance your wealth once you become wealthy.
The next type of leverage is time leverage.
Companies leverage the time and effort if its employees in order to multiply it's profits.
If the company cannot make a profit from the efforts of its employees, they have lay offs in order to cut their losses.
While this is not a desirable route for most entrepreneurs starting out, we will show you how to harness this power without the costs.
One of the best opportunities for the average person is Network Marketing.
Network Marketing is a way to get products directly from the manufacturers to the consumers usually with at most one person in the middle.
Many modern Network Marketing companies ship directly to the customers' doorsteps with an automatic order or autoship system without effort on the marketer's part.
Network marketing is based on relationships.
Sometimes it's called Relationship Marketing or Word of Mouth Marketing.
People who are a representative of a company, a marketer, talk to other people to see if they are interested in starting their own business.
As a reward, the marketer gets a percentage of the products and services moved through the efforts of people they introduce to the opportunity.
The organization that is built through a representative's effort is called their "downline".
Marketers also find people who like the products and services of their company.
Many modern Network Marketing companies have a preferred customer program that offer incentives to customers who place a standing order or autoship order.
They will receive an 800 phone number to call or a web site to log into to place orders directly with the company.
In exchange for placing this autoship order, they often get the products for a discount.
The marketer still gets paid on the volume but doesn't get involved with the actual shipment of the products to the customer.
The building of a downline and customer base is where the time leverage comes in.
If you have 5 hours per week that you devote to your business then you benefit from only 5 hours.
But, if you had found five other people who became marketers who devoted 5 hours per week to their business, you get the benefit of 25 more hours in that same week.
The time leverage also extends to your customer base.
You no longer have to spend time in the actual order taking and product transportation, the company does that for you.
You collect the check as a reward for sharing these products and services.
As your customer base and your downline grow, you soon start collecting the reward for the effort you have put forward in a much larger proportion than the effort you put out.
This is leverage at its best and how you can get ahead in your life while working on a part time basis.
