Is $500 A Lot Of Money?

Would an extra $500 a month be a lot of money? Maybe. Maybe not. It depends on your perspective. So here are a couple of different perspectives for you to consider:

Perspective #1

If you were to start a business that by the end of 12 months was generating for you an extra $500 a month, would that be a lot of money? Some people think it wouldn't be very much money.

Perspective #2

Let's say you just got out of your car in the shopping mall parking lot on your way to buy some clothes and noticed five, crisp $100 bills blowing past you along your path towards the store. Would you just keep on walking and leave them for someone else? What if the same thing happened to you once a month while shopping at the same mall, would you still say that an extra $500 a month wasn't much money?

In reality, many people challenged financially could actually turn their lives around if they were able to generate an additional $500 a month. What about you? If you started your own business that by the end of 12 months generated for you an extra $500 a month, how would that change your life? Think about it for a little while. Just to show you what's possible, here is an example what an extra $300 a month can do. This came from a friend who helps people generate extra income each month in their own business.

In this particular case he had a very conservative friend who got started in a home business, and after a short while ended up generating an extra $300 a month on a regular basis. This guy was kind of boring, so, not having anything exciting about his life he simply applied the whole $300 to his home mortgage each month. That may not sound like much, but in just four short years, his house was paid for in full.

Sounds pretty good so far. Since he still had the extra $300 coming in each month, and he now had an extra $700 a month from the house payment he no longer needed to pay he decided to pool the money together and buy another house down the street for rental property. The new house payment was $800 a month, but he was able to rent it out for $900 a month.

So what did he do considering that he wasn't the most exciting guy in the world? He took the rent money along with the original $700 a month mortgage payment he freed up on his first house, and his $300 a month extra income from his own home business and applied all of it to his new loan. Then, in just about 3 1/2 years he had house number two paid in full.

What did he do next? He simply repeated the process on house number three and once again paid it off in about 3 years. As a result, he now had rental revenue coming in from two houses and his home business extra income of $300 a month, all of which he could apply to house number four.

What was this person able to do with just an extra $300 a month? Well, in just under ten years, he was able to gain $300,000 in net worth and create a net asset value from his multiple income streams of $600,000. How many of you could save $600,000 in just ten years?

You see, only an extra $500 a month can create a large net asset value in your life even if it never grows any larger. It all depends on what you do with it. Does it really require a large amount of cash flow to gain financial freedom in your life? No! When you focus on generating a realistic extra $300 to $500 a month your financial freedom is right around the corner.

What the heck are you Selling?

What the heck are you Selling?

So the guy on the street stops and asks you that question. Then you go in to a big spiel about your product and how many berries it has and how good it tastes and how pretty the presentation is and, and, and..... STOP!

We need to approach people on what we can do for them, not what they can do for us. They could care less about our product. The key to this is tell the BENEFIT! (Notice that says Tell not Sell!)

When people ask me what I sell, I tell them, "Pain Relief!"

When they ask, "What is it or what do you mean?"

I tell them a one of the hundreds of stories I have like this one....

A little over a month ago, my 88 year old step father and I were chatting and I asked him if he was still playing the guitar. Man, he loved his guitars! He replied, "No my arthritis has gotten so bad I can't play any more. I guess I'm damned too old."

The sadness on his face was easily measured and I felt bad for him because something he truly loved to do had been stolen from him and in its place was a feeling of uselessness.

I asked him he wanted to try a product that had been having some great success with others who were suffering from Arthritis. I told him I didn't know what it would do for him but it was worth a try. "It's just good nutrition from a bunch of berries", I said. SO,.. he bought a bottle.

Two weeks later he came back and asked if I was going to get him another bottle of that Keak-a-boo-go-go-juice. I laughed and asked if he was finding any relief by taking the product and in the true spirit of a senior citizen he said, "Nooo.. It's not doing anything for me."

"OK!?!? "

So he got another bottle. Two weeks later. Same thing. "I want to get a couple more bottles of that Go-Go Juice off ya", he said. And of course my reply was........ "Norm,, are you finding any relief" and his answer was..... "No,, its not doing a thing for me."

My wife took him over the 2 bottles of Monavie and she asked him if the product was doing anything for him and he jumped out of the chair and said, "Nancy, a few weeks ago I couldn't lift my arm away from body any more than a few inches, I was in so much pain. I was supposed to go to the doctors for an operation to have my shoulder scraped." (An operation they would have to repeat yearly). Then he said, "Look at me now" He started swinging his arms up over his head and laughing. He said, "I called the damned doctor and told I didn't need his operation". Nancy came home and she said you wouldn't believe the smile on his face. He was just beaming!

This past week, he ordered another 4 bottles of Monavie, plus his son ordered 2 bottles and his next door neighbor is trying a bottle.

That makes me feel like I have made a difference. That is why I love this industry. We change peoples lives!

We didn't sell him a product, we sold him freedom from his pain, youthfulness and energy. He could care less about ORAC value, whether there was 19 berries or for that matter even what they were.

Think about this story the next time you try to sell your product.

Take care and have a great day!

How Many Times Did You Pay For That Purchase?

How many times will you pay for that furniture? Did you know that if you are like the average US citizen, you have $7,000 in credit card debt? If you pay just the minimum payment each month, it will take you more than 20 years to pay it off. That translates to the sad fact that you will be paying approximately $34,000 big bucks to pay back the original $7,000 you thought the furniture cost you in the first place. Of course, this is assuming that you never use the card again during the rest of the 20+ years that it takes to pay off the furniture purchase.

Now what if you could generate an additional $500 a month in your own business? Could you then apply that to your credit card company in addition to the minimum payment expected? If you did, it would take just a little bit over a year to pay off your debt. This translates to you saving over $33,000 that you would not have to pay as interest payments.

Many people get caught up in credit card debt and can't see a way out. Sorrowfully, what many will do is pick up the phone to call that toll-free number of the bank that will grant them a consolidation loan against their home to pay off those credit cards. Interestingly, all that does is transfer the debt from one area of life to another. Then, usually within 12 to 24 months, they will have their credit cards maxed out once again. Ouch!

Luckily we specialize in showing people how to generate extra cash flow in their lives. Many take this extra money and pay off those credit cards. As a result, they find they only have to pay for their furniture once, instead of 5 times. If you are ready to find out how you can create a new income stream in your life, then send us an email with your name, phone number, and the best time to call.
