What's your time really worth?

Whats your time really worth?

A 100K a year as an employee is really worth about 1200 per week in income after you pay all your hard earned money to Uncle Sam. Then you have to factor in hours per day spent commuting, gas, childcare, dry cleaners, lunches, etc. If you work from 8 to 5 like 90% of the world (you can add 2 hours for commuting) so you're really working about 50 hours per week on average. So your hourly rate is really about $24 per hour. If your miserable in your job is $24 per hour really worth it? If you have children you can add another $200 to $400 a week to your net income, bringing you down closer to $18 an hour. So the question you have to ask yourself is a $100K a year really all that important or would you rather live on purpose and do something you enjoy. Personally, I would rather make $5 per hour and be happy than $100 per hour and be miserable. Also, with a job, you are not building any equity, so your really renting your time instead of owning it. With a home based business every day that business grows, so does your stock. You can will it, transfer, or sell it to the highest bidder down the road. The choice is yours, but do you want to rent your time or own it?

Take this job and shove it!

I would love to see if anyone out there can afford to hire me, but my guess is probably not. So I will just keep working away in an industry that many people think is a scam. My friends and family members may laugh at me, but If our industry were a scam why would Avon, Mary Kay, and Nuskin still be around after decades and be billion dollar brands? Why would David Beckham wear Herbalife on his LA Galaxy Jersey? Why would The Orlando Magic play basketball in "The Amway Arena"? Yeah, it's all a scam. Why do so many of my friends make 6 and 7 figure incomes in this industry, yet you won't even look, because you think it's a scam. Why do so many women get to stay home with their kids, because of the extra income they earn from their network marketing business - oh yeah, I forgot it's a scam. Go ahead and think that way and stay at the bottom of the biggest pyramid in the world - The Corporate Structure. Watch your less talented friends get promoted because they are better ass kissers, watch your wife have to return to work 6 weeks after giving birth to your child, because she doesn't want to lose her job. Better yet cut your 2 week vacation in half, so you can show your boss you're a company man and deserve to be promoted, or out of fear cut your vacation short, so you don't return to having your positioned filled by yet another eager soul who's half your age and willing to work harder and for less than you. Yes, have your kids being raised by nannies or daycare providers as it's only 12 hours a day between leaving the home and returning to the home after commuting for 2 hours in traffic - it's ok by me. But personally, I'd rather build my own pyramid, instead of clawing my way to the top of someone else's or trying to run a business with a bunch of employees who earn more than me - ha ha. Besides, I suck at kissing ass and hate traffic.

Renew your Mind

The economy is crumbling, 2012 is coming and the world is going to blow up, cancer is going to get 1 in 2 people before they leave the planet, the food you eat is infested with pesticides. Ok, ok, I know I am being negative, but the point is - there is a ton of negativity out there and if you believe it, you will succomb to it. The only way to have a peaceful life is to renew your mind. Here's a few tips on how to renew your mind - so you can make a shift from all the negativity in our world:

Have very little association with negative people

Fill your mind with good books & music

Believe and trust in a God of your understanding

Spend time with you kids and love them

Love your spouse and friends "The Power of Love"

Don't watch the news or read newspapers

Pay close attention to the types of movies or TV Shows you watch (Garbage in Garbage Out)

A Coffee MLM Company - Really?

Recently on a 60 day sabbatical from network marketing, I made a joke with a good friend of mine in the industry that the next company I was going to jump in needed to either be a wine club or coffee company as I really enjoy drinking both.

It wasn't 24 hours later when i got a call from one of my friends who had become a founding member of a new coffee company who offered me a position as a founding member as well. I did my due dilligence and discovered that over 50% of all adults drink coffee and that 60% of Americans prefer instant over brewed coffee (over 1.4 billion cups consumed on the planet daily). I also discovered that the company was debt free, going global (24 Countries), and had a low cost auto-ship of $50 (affordable for most everyone). I later looked at their comp-plan before I got on the phone with their master distributor and saw a pay plan like nothing I had ever laid eyes on. Truthfully, I had never seen a compensation plan, where I could see myself making over $500K in 12 months - this was the first of its kind and that was with only 1 of the 7 pay outs. Needless to say I spent the next 48 hours doing more homework and now, I can finally say that I have not been this excited about a network marketing company since I first got in the industry 4 years ago.

Javita will be a great addition to some of the other top coffee companies in the network marketing arena: Gano Excel, Java Fit, and Oregano Gold. I think with the company's leaders James Dickerson, Donna Valdes, Phillip LeBlanc, and CEO Stan Cherelstein at the healm that we have a winner on our hands. Anyone who can see what I see and

gets in on this groundfloor opportunity will benefit greatly over the next 12 to 24 months.

The 10 most important things I have learned in Life

In life we learn and we grow. It's been said if you think the same way you did 10 years ago, you didn't learn anything. So I just wanted to take a few minutes to share the top 10 things that I have learned in my life.

1. There is a GOD and he is much bigger than you are I - if you don't believe me - test him.
2. Love is the most powerful thing on the planet. It's the reason that you and I exist. Love can change the world.
3. Don't ever put your faith in another person or become co-dependent. Sometimes better to walk away then stay, just for the sake of staying.
4. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
5. Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.
6. Everything in moderation. If you have an addiction towards alcohol, religion, work, cigarettes, candy, people, etc... this should be broken.
7. Choose your friends and associations wisely, as you will become like the 5 people you spend the most time with.
8. Education is important, but not as important as self education and renewing your mind daily with good uplifting books, music, audio, etc..: The Bible, Think and Grow Rich, As a Man Thinketh, etc...
9. You can fail at everything in life, but there is no option for failure in parenthood - love your kids and spend as much time with them as possible.
10. Be authentic and true to yourself. Don't ever become anything to please somebody else - you will be miserable. God gave you a purpose - find it, and run with it.

The 90 Day Push....

Have you ever heard the term "The 90 Day Push"? If not, it's a term used in network marketing to build your foundation or to get a 2nd window of opportunity to literally blow up your biz. How it works, is you basically go very very very hard for 90 days. A recruiting frenzy if you will. You recruit, recruit, recruit, and then you get others to join you. It's the way most every top income earner I have ever met has built their network marketing business.

If your network marketing business is not where you want it to be or think it should be - why not do a 90 Day Push, where for 90 days you work harder & smarter than anyone you can think of. You go, go, go, and push, push. If you do this, and you're not stupid about it - you can set yourself up for some seriously large checks over the next 12 to 18 months. Not to mention all the Fast Start Bonus Checks you will receive weekly. Hopefully, your network marketing biz, has Fast Start - ha ha...

If you're not happy where you currently are and you have already tried the 90 day push, it may be time to look for a new company. Many network marketers don't start to earn any real money until they get to their 3rd, 4th, or 5th company. It is pretty rare that someone will make a lot of money in their first company.
