Donald Trump and Roberty Kiyosaki Recommend Network Marketing – DO YOU?Network Marketing just seems to be one of those businesses. We’ve all either heard or said the famous question, “IS THIS ONE OF THOSE PYRAMID THINGS?” Network Marketing is one if not THE most miss-understood business models ever. In fact, Network Marketing is NOT EVEN understood by a large percentage of people involved in the business. Why is that, well in my opinion there are 2 primary reasons the masses don’t understand Network Marketing.The first reason people don’t understand network marketing is because; they have a preconceived notion of THE BUSINESS without having any information of substance. People THINK, they know – when really they have NO IDEA. We all look at business through a set of RETAIL eyes, unless we’ve received or sought out specialized training. In other words we all NATURALLY think of a store. We think of products being sold to an end consumer. Network Marketing sells to consumers too, but NOT in a traditional method – there is no store, wealth is not created in Network Marketing through traditional RETAILING or SELLING.The second reason people don’t understand Network Marketing is because people make decisions BASED ON EMOTION, then AFTER – the decision is made they back the decision with THEIR LOGIC. Were all human and that’s how we operate. So, when someone is exposed to the opportunity they will FEEL a certain way about what they’ve seen. They may feel that THIS WILL BE EASY, IT’S TO GOOD TO BE TRUE, TOO HARD, THEY CAN’T DO IT, I DON’T LIKE SELLING, or LET’S DO THIS, people will FEEL a given way FIRST. Each individuals FEELINGS will be based on the individuals own experiences and self-image they will then back this FEELING with logic.Humans are emotional beings; MLM is an emotional business and has to be because people are emotional. So what emotion is a new person who sees the light going to experience??? You guessed it EXCITEMENT! Excitement and enthusiasm is important in any endeavor, unfortunately when it comes to Network Marketing it’s usually misplaced. This miss-directed excitement can become a problem when the new Networker receives or ACCEPTS no training. EVERY company offers training, but not every person ACCEPTS IT. Too often the attitude about how to build a business is “IT’S OBVIOUS” but the reality is Network Marketing is a simple business that requires a decision for success first, then the action necessary to achieve that success.So to quickly review, MORE OFTEN than not in MLM, someone who “SEE THE LIGHT,” gets started, doesn’t understand the business but THINKS THEY DO, receives or accepts no TRAINING, and then QUICKLY has success but doesn’t know why or how, so they can’t EFFECTIVELY train others, or they KILL their own dreams of a better life at the first sign of adversity and quit. The system of MLM is designed to avoid these traps, but unfortunately most don’t follow the system.SAD RIGHT! Of course it is. So why would 2 WELL RESPECTED, entrepreneurs like Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki stick their neck out and recommend Network Marketing? Don’t they know most people don’t understand it or “FEEL” like it’s a scam or ARE THEY NUTS???Well, Robert and The Donald understand that Network Marketing is first about PEOPLE and RELATIONSHIPS. The business is about people before products, commissions, or anything else. A Network Marketing business is a collection of PEOPLE, and PEOPLE are the asset to the MLM business, and to all businesses. They also understand that Network Marketing is LEVERAGED – DISTRIBUTION business. That sounds kinda fancy, but it’s really SIMPLE. Network Marketing is not about retail, it’s about DISTRIBUTION. The distribution is created through RELATIONSHIPS. The goal is to create a distribution channel of like-minded people for the purposes of retailing through recruiting. It’s a model where distributors are CONSUMERS and can distribute to consumers, while creating individual and collective success. The real magic, is in the bond of like-minded individuals working toward the same goal. The leveraging component is created because of the commission structure, and because everyone has the same rights and ability to grow their business without any bias. Entrepreneurs of Robert and Donald’s caliber understand that the right relationships are the key to success in business and LEVERAGE is the only way wealth is created. MLM combines relationships and leverage in a business with NO BARRIERS to entry or CAP on income.Most business especially in a sales environment have commissions as well as leverage, BUT the leverage is limited. In mortgages origination, car sales, insurance, real estate, and many other professions managers earn their income based on the performance of the group. No one else is able to LEVERAGE from the efforts of many – only the managers and owners are given this privilege. HMMMMmmm. Limited leverage – limited opportunity, unlimited leverage – unlimited opportunity. Robert, Donald and many other entrepreneurs understand any business with an unlimited leveraging component can create a fortune.Robert Kiyosaki admits, that he didn’t understand Network Marketing at first – his mind was closed to the opportunity, for him it took a wealthy friend whom HE ADMIRED and RESPECTED enough to listen with an open mind. Since then he’s been a strong advocate of the industry. His most recent book is titled, “The Business of The 21′st Century” and you can guess what it’s about – that’s right Network Marketing.Donald Trump recognizes that hard work is required for success in anything. So, if you’re going to work hard anyway – why not work hard at something that has the ability to pay you again and again. This idea is readily scene in Donald’s real estate holdings – real estate is a business that can have booms and busts, but canalso create a recurring income stream. MLM on the other hand is known for its ability to withstand and THRIVE during recessionary periods. Donald and Robert co-authored the book, “Why We Want You to Be Rich” that had an entire chapter devoted to Network Marketing. Donald demonstrates his belief in the industry by endorsing a Network Marketing company and even featured the company on his prime time TV show The Celebrity Apprentice, while at the same time owning a separate Network Marketing company – that’s putting your money, time, and energy where your mouth is.The Key Benefit’s Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki highlight are:Tax Deductions – When you start a Network Marketing business you gain the tax advantages of a business owner and can do so without giving up your full time income. More often than not the benefit of the tax deductions can more than offset the initial and monthly expenses of the business. Consult with your personal accountant or CPA and get the advice you need to take advantage this HUGE benefit.Low Start Up – Most Network Marketing companies have very reasonable startup costs typically $500 or less. While traditional business and franchises have huge start up fees and unlimited operating expenses, all to gain limited territories and limited income potential. MLM provides a low cost entry and a fixed monthly overhead, with an unlimited upside potential. Network Marketing is a SWEAT EQUITY business; you don’t need to bring a big investment, just your consistent effort.The Network – The most undervalued asset in Network Marketing is the Network of people. Where else can you get 100′s or 1000′s of people of ACTION together in one place with the goal of a better life? Network Marketing is a relationship business, and in this environment you can meet, learn, and partner with entrepreneurs from all walks of life. Many of whom are business leaders or owners of businesses outside of MLM. It’s the meetings and the meetings after the meeting where bonds are made.The Skills You Learn – Network Marketing will challenge any insecurity you have, and rebuild you as a leader. Communication is the most important skill in life, whether it is internal communication with yourself or external communication with an individual or a group. Communication equals wealth. MLM will accelerate your learning curve, in sales skills, leadership skills, organizational skills, networking skill, and of course marketing skill. This industry is an entrepreneurs BUSINESS SCHOOL, where the grades come in the form of checks.Leverage Existing Systems – Surveys show that most Americans dream of their own business, and we all know most business fail. Most businesses fail because they lack a system. The individual more often than not is THE SYSTEM, and that system breaks down because of the stress and strain. Like franchising, Network Marketing companies have an existing system in place. All we need to do is PLUG IN and operate that existing system.Proven Business Model – Network Marketing is a proven business system. Results don’t lie, MLM and direct sales has created more millionaires than any other business model. The industry has proven that it’s person to person marketing strategy can stand the test of time, as well as even the deepest recessionary periods.In Conclusion – Network Marketing is a business for people who are looking to make changes in their lives. If you are a person looking to make financial changes in your life, and want to do it within a community of achievers – you deserve to get involved with the right company, the right leaders, while developing into the person you need to be to create the lifestyle and success you deserve.
Business Loans In Canada: Financing Solutions Via Alternative Finance & Traditional Funding
Business loans and finance for a business just may have gotten good again? The pursuit of credit and funding of cash flow solutions for your business often seems like an eternal challenge, even in the best of times, let alone any industry or economic crisis. Let’s dig in.
Since the 2008 financial crisis there’s been a lot of change in finance options from lenders for corporate loans. Canadian business owners and financial managers have excess from everything from peer-to-peer company loans, varied alternative finance solutions, as well of course as the traditional financing offered by Canadian chartered banks.
Those online business loans referenced above are popular and arose out of the merchant cash advance programs in the United States. Loans are based on a percentage of your annual sales, typically in the 15-20% range. The loans are certainly expensive but are viewed as easy to obtain by many small businesses, including retailers who sell on a cash or credit card basis.
Depending on your firm’s circumstances and your ability to truly understand the different choices available to firms searching for SME COMMERCIAL FINANCE options. Those small to medium sized companies ( the definition of ‘ small business ‘ certainly varies as to what is small – often defined as businesses with less than 500 employees! )
How then do we create our road map for external financing techniques and solutions? A simpler way to look at it is to categorize these different financing options under:
Debt / Loans
Asset Based Financing
Alternative Hybrid type solutions
Many top experts maintain that the alternative financing solutions currently available to your firm, in fact are on par with Canadian chartered bank financing when it comes to a full spectrum of funding. The alternative lender is typically a private commercial finance company with a niche in one of the various asset finance areas
If there is one significant trend that’s ‘ sticking ‘it’s Asset Based Finance. The ability of firms to obtain funding via assets such as accounts receivable, inventory and fixed assets with no major emphasis on balance sheet structure and profits and cash flow ( those three elements drive bank financing approval in no small measure ) is the key to success in ABL ( Asset Based Lending ).
Factoring, aka ‘ Receivable Finance ‘ is the other huge driver in trade finance in Canada. In some cases, it’s the only way for firms to be able to sell and finance clients in other geographies/countries.
The rise of ‘ online finance ‘ also can’t be diminished. Whether it’s accessing ‘ crowdfunding’ or sourcing working capital term loans, the technological pace continues at what seems a feverish pace. One only has to read a business daily such as the Globe & Mail or Financial Post to understand the challenge of small business accessing business capital.
Business owners/financial mgrs often find their company at a ‘ turning point ‘ in their history – that time when financing is needed or opportunities and risks can’t be taken. While putting or getting new equity in the business is often impossible, the reality is that the majority of businesses with SME commercial finance needs aren’t, shall we say, ‘ suited’ to this type of funding and capital raising. Business loan interest rates vary with non-traditional financing but offer more flexibility and ease of access to capital.
We’re also the first to remind clients that they should not forget govt solutions in business capital. Two of the best programs are the GovernmentSmall Business Loan Canada (maximum availability = $ 1,000,000.00) as well as the SR&ED program which allows business owners to recapture R&D capital costs. Sred credits can also be financed once they are filed.
Those latter two finance alternatives are often very well suited to business start up loans. We should not forget that asset finance, often called ‘ ABL ‘ by those Bay Street guys, can even be used as a loan to buy a business.
If you’re looking to get the right balance of liquidity and risk coupled with the flexibility to grow your business seek out and speak to a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business financing advisor with a track record of business finance success who can assist you with your funding needs.
Using Nutrition to Prevent Or Eliminate Illness
Most everyone knows that before drugs existed, most healings was done with herbs and misguided medical theories. Herbs and food were the medicine of past times. In a natural nutrition book, I recently read this quote, “If doctors don’t learn nutrition, nutritionists will become doctors.” This quote shows the importance of nutrition and the power it has to prevent or eliminate illness.If you are sick or have certain body conditions that are creating pain, then you need to consider learning enough nutrition to help yourself eliminate that sickness or pain. Learning some of the basic principles of nutrition is not hard. It just takes a little effort in finding the right nutritional course that teaches practical ways of applying nutrition.Most illnesses and resulting deaths occur because of inflammation. Inflammation occurs at the beginning of a disease and it is just a slight irritation that you might feel. Many times you just ignore this irritation, which then turns into a slight inflammation. As the inflammation feeds on itself it gets bigger and bigger eventually causing a disease that a doctor can detect. Once a doctor can detect disease, it is well established in your body.Applying practical nutrition stops the beginning of inflammation. This prevents the formation of disease. If the disease is developing or well established, nutrition can reverse these conditions. One area that nutrition can not heal or cure is when inflammation has caused a disease that has permanently destroyed cells and tissue. But the body has amazing recovering abilities so one cannot always say “the body can not recover.”Inflammation comes from excess acid in the body. This acid is created from the foods you eat. Eating certain foods leave an acid residue in your cells that then travel into the liquid surrounding your cells – lymph liquid. In the lymph liquid, this acid can damage cells and tissue and in doing so starts the inflammation process.A good natural anti-inflammatory to use daily is MSM. MSM travels throughout your body reducing inflammation and stopping the beginnings of disease. Using 2000 – 4000 mg of MSM is not uncommon.The acid in the body is neutralized by minerals. The actual way minerals are created by food and used in your body to stop the destructive effects of acids is taught in nutrition. There are 5 major key minerals that you must concentrate on when you consider what foods to eat. These minerals are responsible for the majority of chemical reactions that occur in your body, which provide you with natural health.Learning natural nutrition is now possible online. In the past, it was difficult to learn nutrition without going to school. Finding courses in practical nutrition can be difficult but what you and most people need is to learn is nutrition that you can put into practice. Understanding nutrition can give you the natural methods that you need to deal with anybody discomfort or disease. It gives you the tools and techniques that you need to apply to keep you healthy for a long time. Find the time, find the course, find the health that you need.
