How to Make Money Like a Wealthy Person

How the Rich THINK Differently and How You Can Think Rich Too

In his book The Cashflow Quadrant, Robert Kiyosaki spends a lot of time focusing on the four main ways that people create income. They are: Employee, Self-employed. Business Owner and Investor. If you can picture a square divided into four quadrants, Employee is in the upper left corner, Self-employed in the lower left corner, Business Owner in the upper right and Investor in the lower right. If you actually draw that picture on a piece of paper before reading on, I believe you'll better understand the rest of this article.

According to Kiyosaki, the difference between those who are truly wealthy and those who are not is about where the income comes from and if assets are greater than liabilities. Wealthy people have assets that create income. Whereas those on the left side of the quadrant generate most of their income from working at a job or seeing clients or patients, those on the right side of the quadrant generate most of their income passively. What this means is that they have assets that create a monthly residual cashflow and that cashflow is greater than that person's financial liabilities.

Wealth is a factor of how you think about money. If you continually spend all the money that you make, then you will never be wealthy. What the "work for a salary/hourly wage" type people see as assets are actually liabilities if they carry any debt. This includes your house and your car. These things are only assets if they have no debt or of they actually bring in income. Real Estate is an asset to the extent that someone else (ie: a tenant) is paying the mortgage and the expenses. If you THINK about assets like a rich person, you will begin to set up your life and your finance in a way that creates true assets.

Donald Trump, Warren Buffet, Robert Kiyosaki have all come out recently in support of the structure of network marketing companies. If you are a business owner than you are working from the right side of Kiyosaki's quadrant and thus are creating income in a way that does not rely on your physical presense or time. Starting a business can be costly and risky. The beauty of network marketing is that you can start your own business for little money and operate within the structure of an already established company. There is nothing better in business than making money without spending much of your own. This is what rich people do. You can to it too. Network marketing is a means to this end.

Risk is a matter of education. As you learn more about an industry or a business or an investment, it becomes less risky. What is truly risky is entering into a situation and using your own money without having a full understanding of what you're doing. Again, this is where network marketing is a great opportunity. The financial investment is small enough that you can earn while you learn and even keep your day job until your residual income flow catches up with your current salary.

The most exciting network marketing opportunity right now is with a company called Zrii. Zrii fits all of the parameters of a legitimate network marketing company. Plus it has something else.

Why Binary Compensation Plans Suck




Understand why most people struggle in binary compensation plans

There is a an appeal to thebinary compensation plans for newcomers to the field of network marketing. Binaries are easy to understand. The amount of money paid out to distributors is often a flat rate based on volume of product sold. Newbies are sold on the idea that their upline can only place people in one of two places and thus a new person's business will be "fed" from above. If you are one of the lucky people to be placed on a very succesful upline's "power leg", then in reality you only have to work one leg. Unfortunately, many people do not end up in this situation and that is where the trouble begins.

Binary MLM compensation plans pay out a percentage based on the total volume on the lessor (least profitable) leg. You do not get paid on your greater leg. The company keeps all that money. So let us say that you end up on someone's inside leg. What that means is that no one from above you will place anyone on that leg but the person who enrolled you. If your enroller is not actively and successfully growing his or her business, you will receive no people place below low from anyone but yourself.

All those in network marketing know that successful businesses are built by building a good, strong downline, not relying on an upline. But here is the problem in a binary. If you have to build both your legs on your own, you go out and start recruitng people. You alternate where you place them, in order to keep your two legs balanced. In binary plans, balance is crucial. After a few month you've placed ten people on your right leg and 14 on you left leg. Of these, seven on the right and nine on the left are starting to build their businesses. Your network is growing. Things are relatively balanced. You're starting to receive a small residual income.

Then you get lucky and enroll Sam on your right leg. Sam has been in the network marketing industry for 25 years. You are excited. Sam's business takes off like gangbusters!! In a few months you have over $100,000 worth of volume on your right leg. Your left leg is still doing OK, but you only have $12,000 worth of volume there. If your company pays out 8% of your lessor leg, then you will receive 8% if $12,000. $960. Since your company does not have to pay you anything on your right leg, they keep that money.

You have done a great job enrolling Sam on your team. You are not getting paid on ANYTHING that Sam does. Your company is making a lot of money from your hard work and you are not benefiting from it. And it gets worse. Sam is really good at this business and eventually your right leg has one million dollars worth of volume in it. Even if you've developed your left leg and are up to $100,000 in volume, guess what? You still will not get a dime of the money that Sam is generating. You only get paid on the left leg, the shorter leg.

In my opinion, binary plans sound great. They are easy to understand. They make people feel like they are working as part of a team. It's all good until your hard work ends up benefitting the company instead of benefitting you .

There is a better way to go. Compensation plans have developed a great deal since the beginning of network marketing, about 70 years ago. The latest type of compensation plan is called a Hybrid Unilevel Plan. In this plan you are paid for any volume that happens underneath you. Old fashioned unilevel plans often paid down only 9 levels or 10 levels. In some of the new hybrid plans, distributors end up getting paid down to the bottom. It could be 37 levels or 52. The computer calculates every purchase of product made by every person in below you...whether you have one, two, three or more legs. As you move up the line people are paid as deep as they have qualified for. As you move up in the ranking you are paid on more levels. Everything is dynamically compressed from the bottom up.

This type of dynamically compressed unilevel plan is the cutting edge of network marketing compensation plans. Add to it other bonuses for beginners, plus matching bonuses and rank bonuses and the sky is the limit. This type of plan is inherently more fair to its distributors that any other plan in the industry today, particularly in comparison to binaries.

Residual Income Creates Opportunities for Change

In the Sept/Oct 2007 issue of The Utne Reader, there is an article titled, The New Elders. The premise of the article is that the BabyBoomer Generation can still save the world. The premise of this post is that residual income is the door opener to making a difference in the world. If you have a source, or multiple sources of residual income (income that arrives in your bank account while you are doing something else), then you have the ultimate freedom in how you spend your time.

The Utne Reader article quotes author Marc Freedman (Encore: Finding Work That Matters in the Second Half of Life). Freedman states, "Faced with the practical necessity of extended working lives, boomers have made it a virtue getting busy on their next chapters. A generation that set out to change the world surely did, by changing the way the world thought about the purpose of work...."

Because people are living longer and are vital longer, there is a tendency to take on a second "career". Sometimes it is for financial reasons, and often it's to keep one's mind active and oneself engaged with the community. So here you have the largest generation ever, hitting 55 or 65 or even 70 years old and having the energy and the enthusiasm to devote to the needs of their community, the country and the planet. What an opportunity.

Network marketing is a means for creating passive, residual income. Though starting with a network marketing company is not a recipe for instant success, commitment, hard work and follow-through are the ingredients necessary to reach a point the residual income is appearing in your bank account on a monthly basis. If you talk to professionals in the network marketing industry, you will learn that though some make quick money due to their contacts and years in the industry, most people should expect to work hard and build their business for 3 years. How many other types of business can you build to a level of success in three years, that will enable you to be gone from it for weeks or even months at a time, and the money still comes in?

Once you are at that point in your business you can go to Uganda for 2 months and volunteer in an orphanage. Of you can join an organization in the US that is actively working and lobbying for healthy care reform. You will not be beholden to a desk or an office on a daily basis. Once you have set yourself up with a flow of residual income you will be able to not only go someplace warm in the winter, but go there long enough to be a traveler instead of tourist. The world opens up, and if you are of an altruistic bent then the possibilities are endless in terms of how you can use your time and your income to become an agent of change on a very needy planet.

How to Retire Early...36 Months From Today

What would you do with the rest of your life is you could retire in 3 years? Travel, play golf, volunteer in an orphanage in Uganda? Once you are free from needing to trade time for money everyday, you will be free to really dream. And once you're truly not trading time for money, and you've created the residual income that you desire you will be a position to make a difference in the world.

We live in a world that is increasingly in need of change and change agents. In his book, Your First Year in Network Marketing, Mark Yarnell talks about why he no longer works actively in his network marketing business even though he is the master of masters when it comes to this industry. He and his wife decided that they had as much money and they needed and they were blessed to be able to devote their time to charity work. I was impressed to read this and even more motivated to reach a point in my life and financial state that I could devote more time and money to be an agent of change if this very needy world.

Just for example. I local business person in my town spends 3 weeks per year in Haiti working in a medical clinic. He reported in a recent article that takes only $200 per year to send a Haitian child to school for the entire year. This covers tuition, supplies and uniforms. Even without network marketing success, there are very few people who are reading this who can't afford to spend $200 per year to send a poor child to school. What if every person reading this post made a commitment to do this? What if everyone working to retire early pledged to send just 5% of their yearly income to children in Haiti? Do you realize how many children we could send to school? (If you'd seriously like to know about doing this, please contact me directly at dtutnauer@yahoo.com).

So, the goal of retiring early is not just a selfish one. In fact, it could be the least selfish thing we've ever done. According to my million dollar mentor, the Zrii opportunity might be the road to this end. He has already made his million dollars in an older MLM and is coaching our team to success in this one. In this age of internet marketing and social networking we lose track of real time and often get discouraged if we're not making a lot of money in a few months. The reality is that even with the best MLM's, commitment is key. Patience is key. Understanding a system and working it daily, is key.

The Zrii compensation plan is unique in the network marketing world in that it rewards distributors early with fast start bonuses and the continues to reward them with it's powerful, unilevel, dynamic compression compensation plan. Link to the previous post to read more details about this.

Imagine if you were to get involved with a new company like Zrii right now? You would be the 9000th distributor or so. That alone is an amazing opportunity. Then you begin to work the system that this million dollar coach teaches you. You also work as part of a team that is developing a huge web presence and truly sharing team goals, chores and rewards. You offer your friends and clients the only health drink on the market that was developed by a world renowned medical center. A naturapath I know has tested the Zrii formulation using applied kinestheology with his patients and found it to test highly positive for every one he tested. What this means is that the ingredients in Zrii are known by the body to be beneficial.

How do you retire in 36 months? You enroll in Zrii, you commit, you create measurable goals and move towards them, you share and you give more than you ask for. Mostly, you don't bypass this invitation. Enroll now by going to www.zrii.com. Put in my name (Deborah Tutnauer and enroller #2631542. Your information will be sent to you and I will contact you to get you started on your first team project and on your way to your retirement dreams.

I'm shamelessly promoting Zrii this weekend because I'm so excited about what I've been learning about the comp plan. I thought I'd post it here.

Work At Home Mom Discovers Social Bookmarking

The pace at which the cyber world progresses seems increasingly fast for those of us who are well over 25. The latest and greatest focus for getting your information out into the world is to use social bookmarking. Facebook and My Space are social networking sites. Those of you who have high school age children have probably been familiar with these for years not. The world of social networking has expanded to include many different types of sites for people with different interests.

On these sites users can bookmark other sites that they've been to and like. For instance, if I find an article I like, I can bookmark it on Digg.com rather than just bookmarking it on my personal computer. When I do that others can see it and I can access my bookmarks from any computer, anywhere. The beauty of this from a marketing standpoint is that many people can see your bookmarked sites, blogs or articles and refer them to others who might also enjoy them. Information gets spread very quickly this way.

There are many articles and web sites that can explain this much better than I can. What I wanted to share with you today is my joy at finally learning how to access and use this system. I went to a site called socialposter.com. I followed the instructions and put a link button to the site on my Firefox Toolbar. Then I wrote the post below this one. I then opened the post in it's viewable version. Once it was up on my screen I copies the text. Then I clicked on my socialposter.com button.

This is where it becomes really cool. My URL and my title appeared in the box on the right side of the page. Below it was a place to paste my text and add some tags (like keywords...they describe the post). Then I clicked the button that said "start posting". After that my the URL, Title and text showed up in a box on the bottom left and I clicked the link underneath that said "submit to social websites". What this does is to populate the submit pages on each of the listed social websites so that you don't have to do so, one by one.

The first time you do this is takes a really long time, because you have to become a member of each of the sites. You will see the list of social networking sites. When you click on the word "post" to the right of the site name you will be redirected to their login and enroll page. Once you're enrolled in every site you want to post to, it becomes really easy. You click on the "submit to social websites" button, then go to the "post" tab next to whichever site you want to post to. The page will open and you will see all your information already there. Then you just click "submit" or "share" or whatever word is there to confirm you posting. It's that easy.

Once you are all set up on the various social websites you can submit a post or new s article or website to all of them within about 10 minutes. I'm sure you can find a more technologically complete description of all this. I found that I'd been doing it wrong for the last few weeks, so once I figured it out last night it seemed like a good idea to try and make it easier for others like myself.

If you'd like to see an example, click here, and you'll how the post below this one looks on Digg.com.

From everything I've been reading, this is a great way to share any information that you want to share with a great number of people. Now I'm not computer savvy enough to understand how that happens, but those who are are preaching this gospel as the new wave of internet marketing. I'll just go with that.
