Why “IF”? – Because POSITIVE Change is a CHOICE – Negative Change Happens

With all the turmoil in the economy, making ends meet just keeps getting harder and harder. All the staples of everyday life continue to go up while your paycheck stays stagnant. That is if you have a paycheck – unemployment is still very high. In order for the economy to tread water, 250,000 new jobs need to be added EVERY MONTH and so far this is not happening. In order for YOUR situation to improve or hedge, Plan B, you must abandon the fear and look the future straight in the eyes. On any given day SOMEONE ELSE can make a decision that will negatively impact your life. All JOBS are controlled by budgets – it’s that simple and you’re really just a faceless name to the person in the corner office.

Are You Prepared???

You need to be. We really need to sit back and make a true honest evaluation of our personal situations. Complaining is a negative action. A wise man once told me… “You’re either part of the problem or part of the solution. There is no middle.” Positive change is part of the solution and, the best way to accomplish it is to seize control NOW by doing for YOU. Plan B should be about you. The best way is a small business that has the potential to maximize your efforts. It is my personal opinion that Network Marketing provides this through people helping people create residual income. There are many legitimate direct sales companies where the start up costs are minimal. Not every opportunity is for everyone – people are different and that is a good thing.

Do your own due diligence and research direct sales companies that market products or services that interest you. The most important thing is that a POSITIVE choice is made to take control of your future now – in the present.

Misery loves company, do you find yourself in that company? If so, it maybe it’s time to stand up and leave that table.  Not sure, consider a few signs:

• Do you find yourself feeling sorry for yourself?
• Are your days spent with others in the same sinking boat as you are?
• Drinking too much alcohol?
• Are you sharing depressing stories?
• Are your thoughts of better times in the past?
• Have you given up?

Well, you should know that you’re not alone – especially in this economy. With the unemployment compensation extension about to end for millions of Americans next week, that alone can have a truly negative impact on the situation.

Your misery starts with your perception of the situation. Choosing to take the “half full” view rather than “half empty” approach is where it starts. Rather than taking a negative view, why not take the positive view.

There are opportunities all around you if, you allow your eyes to see them as such. Making money is NOT something that comes strictly from a J-O-B.

What are some options available to you:

A Job allows you the priviledge of trading time for money with a limited earnings potential. You can only work so much time and the monies earned are limited to what someone else has decided it is worth.

Both affiliate marketing and network marketing (even more so) allow for more upward earnings potential. The reason is that you earn based on your productivity. Network marketing takes that a step further by allowing commissions to be earned from the work of others also.

Affiliate marketing and network marketing are both business opportunities which, as of now, still offer very good tax benefits that the J.O.B does NOT. I’ve become partial to network marketing because it offers residual income, the ability to earn money in the future for work done in the present.

The choice comes down to how you want your future written. You can sit around with misery and feel sorry for yourself. Or, get up from the table say “Goodbye” to misery and Take Action on YOUR FUTURE. Yes, it really is that simple. Why? because there is nothing to lose by DOING and everything to lose by NOT.

You Can Do It – Others Have Before You – And Others Will After You.

The current woes of the world economies is really not an unexpected occurrence. Have you ever wondered how countries can operate with huge budget deficits? Can you operate your household on a large deficit? Well, sort of with the use of credit.

Operating in the Red – Living On Borrowed Money - Money As Debt

But that raises the thought:
If governments operate on very large deficits (the United States deficit is over $1 Trillion) along with most business operating on borrowed money add in consumer debt (mortgage/auto/credit card/etc) where is all the money? All the “digital” money does not really exist. It is created digitally not physically. Money is loaned out based on money that is owed. This type of system is set to eventually fail from the start.

“Borrowing from Peter to Pay Paul” is what is actually taking place. Think about this… Let’s keep the numbers relatively small so it is easy to follow.
Total amount of money in the entire system  = $1,000,000.00 (one million USD)
Total amount of money loaned out on credit = $1,000,000.00 (one million USD)
10% Interest owed on total amount of credit  + $  100,0000.00 (one hundred thousand USD)
Total amount of money (debt) owed (P+I)       = $1,100,000.00  (one million one hundred thousand USD)

Now, let’s say the total debt = $1,1000,000.00 is called and payable right now. Is it impossible to pay? NO. Why? It’s really very simple there is only $1,000,000.00 Total Money Available, remember.
So, where will the $100,000.00 come from if it doesn’t actually exist. Think about the bigger picture.
Didn’t the Great Depression start from a “run on the banks”?

You be the judge:
A) Ponzi Scheme
B) Poor Management
C) Greed
D) All of the Above

And that is why our monetary system was doomed to fail from the very beginning and the sad fact is that the ones who oversee it – Knew It From the Beginning.

Watch this video as it will open your eyes as it sheds some light on this fragile house of cards that has been built. Something to think about. I think you’ll enjoy it.
