You know what I'm talking about.
Work 40 hours a week for 40 years so you can retire with a nice pension?
I think it's common knowledge at this point that that doesn't exist anymore.
Neither does job security. Or company loyalty. Or social security for that matter.
Why spend your entire life slaving away at a job you're not truly passionate about, working under a boss that doesn't truly appreciate and recognize you for your efforts, for a paycheck that's hardly enough to get by with, just so you can spend the last few years of your life in enjoyment?
Or maybe that's not the case.
Maybe you LOVE your job. You make GREAT money. But there are obviously certain restrictions, responsibilities, and sacrifices that come with it.
Like spending time with your family on a Tuesday afternoon.
Or planning out a spur of the moment 10 day vacation.
Or simply being able to raise your children instead of paying someone to do it for you because you have to focus on your career.

IT'S TIME TO FLIP THE SCRIPT!
THERE'S MORE TO LIFE THAN LIVING FOR THE WEEKEND!
Why not create a legacy every single day?
Why not live out your passion, every single day?
Why not make more than enough money to support your lifestyle and have the freedom to travel and do your heart's desire whenever you want?
It is possible you know. You just need the right vehicle.
YOU NEED TO BE IN THE BUSINESS OF YOU.
With the end game of either creating a residual income that pays you whether you show up to work or not. Or to eventually sell for millions, retire on the interest, and focus on new projects and passions.
Something you can pour your heart into, even if it's during the pockets of your day while you work your day job to support your family.
And in my experience, there are 3 ways you can do that (and I've done all 3):
1. Start your own company
2. Franchise
3. Join network marketing company
1. Start your own company. This is typically the hardest option but also the first option people run to. Why? Because you're literally starting from scratch. All you have is a vision, maybe some start up capital, and sweat equity. While the rewards can be astounding (think Apple, Microsoft, Disney, Starbucks, etc), you are limited by your time and money, with limited leverage of other people's time and money. Skill becomes a major player because at first, you are everything to everyone until you can hire and delegate, which may take years. It's not easy, but again, it can be incredibly rewarding.
2. Franchise. This can be much simpler to do than starting your own company because you are leveraging other people's resources to help you benefit. Typically, for a large initial investment up front and monthly royalties, you can get the systems and support of a proven company and you just have to put in the leg work. The advantage is in its leverage over starting your own company. The disadvantage is you lose your own brand as there are many restrictions to what you can and can't do, as well as high initial investment costs (typically $50,000 - $250,000 or more to start). Not to mention the difficulty of trying to operate a franchise part time.
3. Join a network marketing company. I've found this to be the most rewarding of the three. After starting my own company as well as franchising, neither have come close to the freedom and income potential of network marketing. Minimal start up costs (typically less than $500), minimal overhead, no employees, choose your own hours, create your own schedule, work only with people you want to, and unlimited income potential. Not to mention receiving a residual income and getting paid whether you work or not. The trick lies in finding a strong, stable company built on integrity, with products/services you can stand behind, and being committed to learning the skills to become a professional networker. Network marketing is quickly becoming the fastest growing industry in the world due to its nature of cutting out third-party distributors and directly referring outstanding products and services via word of mouth. Its reputation is also growing as the industry that's creating more 6 and 7-figure earners than any other.
In any of these 3 scenarios, you can be in the business of YOU. You can live a life on purpose, knowing that you're really contributing to society in a way that only you can. Knowing that you're not working a job, but creating a legacy.
All you need is the desire to make it happen, the will to plan, and the courage to act.
