What are you doing to secure your future?

I had an interesting day yesterday, I went to a start up business exhibition in Nottingham and heard some good speakers - most notably Emma Jones from Enterprise Nation. There were 1300 people there - just shows that many people are looking to start their own business up in these difficult times. I believe passionately that this is a good way out of the recession.

In the evening I went to a Network Marketing event and listened to a great Speaker - Ray Robbins. I know ray and have met him a few times, he is always entertaining and forthright. He told how he used to work in a Fortune 500 company. He had a college degree, he had been an officer in the forces, he ticked all the boxes as he has been told to. "Get an education, get a good job, keep your head down and you will secure for life". The company had an 'employee of the month' award. After a couple of years they disbanded it because he was the only one who ever won it. He had trebled all the targets they set, he was the star of the company.

In 1974 there was a downturn in the economy (nothing like what those stuck in the matrix tell us this one is going to be like) Guess who got made redundant? Ray Robbins, why? he cost the most!

I could see that although this was 35 years ago it still hurt him. He had done everything he had been told and was still unemployed. He turned to Network Marketing deciding he was never going to let anyone decide his fate (how funny I used that exact phrase a month ago). He now earns $3.8million a year, his earnings are public so he knew we could check but I know Ray and would never doubt anything he says.

It was interesting that both he and Emma Jones made the same point, no job is secure today - none. Some people will read this and think "mine is because I'm special" - you are right you're special but your job isn't - it is vulnerable and so are you and your family unless you do something about it.

Self employment is more secure than employment these days. Every sector is losing jobs and it's getting worse.

A lot of people don't know about Network Marketing but let me tell you it is a genuine, good way of earning an income and securing your finances. I sat in a room with 100 people last night, at least 20 of them earning £50,000 a year. Others had just started and had those ambitions.

It is the fairest way to earn money - that's not me saying that but Warren Buffet - he knows a thing or two about money. With a net worth of over $60Billion he is the richest man in the world and owns 3 network marketing businesses.

Network marketing works - if you work. We had someone in our team once who moaned after 6 months that she hadn't earned anything and then went on to criticise the system. This was a woman who after 4 months was still putting the final touches to her first eMail!!! Everyone who puts in the effort with the right guidance over a period of time will earn money.
