When Opportunity Knocks, Will You Answer?

What will you do when opportunity knocks on your door?  Will you welcome opportunity in to your space or will you reject it outright?   Are you even looking for opportunities or are you content with your life as it is?  These are all questions we sooner or later face.   How we answer those questions will shape our lives going forward.   Opportunity comes in may sizes, shapes and forms, but to keep things simple, I will talk about economic opportunities in this blog.

I don't have to tell you how difficult the economy has been for so many over the past decade or more.   I myself have been battling it for several years, after getting laid off from my fulltime job in early 2010.   I was lucky enough to have my side business, video production, which quickly became my fulltime business once again, after more than a decade as a nice supplement to my salaried position.   But business was and still is, far from booming.   I needed something else to help make ends meet, since the employment world is extremely competitive and elusive.  Thus, my search for opportunities expanded beyond just the typical job search.   I began to look at other ways to make money.
                                                 

 



There are many different types of money making opportunties out there, home based businesses, survey taking gigs, and many different types of multi-level marketing, or network marketing organizations.   I liked the MLM concept, which leverages the organzation you build,  to have many sell a few products and everyone makes money.   It's not easy but the concept is simple.   So, I started looking into MLM opportunities.    I had done Amway before with no real success, so I didn't want to go there, but I know many people do very well with Amway.  So when a friend called me to see the ACN opportunity, I jumped right in.   I loved the idea of offering services that everybody already uses and making residual income from it, month after month, year after year off essential user services like telephone, wireless, internet, TV, home security, and energy.  It made too much sense not to do it.   I am enjoying the people I meet, well most of them anyway, and I am reading and listening to a lot of personal growth material, and the extra income is wonderful. 

ACN has been fun for me, but I have realized, that more people are not interested in hearing about new income opportunities than are open to new ventures.  Why not?   Network, or better yet, Relationship Marketing is really a great concept.  It's people helping other people to grow and to succeed. So why are so many so negative about MLM or network marketing opportunities?  Granted, not everyone succeeds, in fact, the majority doesn't.  It's not easy and many give up or quit before they ever make any money.   But that is usually not the company's fault.   Some make it and some don't, but the companies, at least the ones that have been around a long time, like ACN (20 years) provide its independent business owners every opportunity, training, and the vehicles to succeed.  However, many that don't succeed blame everyone but themselves, and poison the well blaming the company for their failure.  It's really a shame.   There is such great opportunity to grow as a person and succeed in business in many of the network marketing arenas.   If you are in need of a Plan B, want to save for retirement, pay for college tuition, or all of the above, why not at least take a look at one of these great opportunities?   You could change your life and the lives of countless others.  If you are searching, here's a list of the top 25 MLM companies, according to Nexera e-News.   A real eye-opener is the list of the Top 100 MLM earners, as provided by the Home For Business website.  This kind of money changes lives!



To really have great success in network marketing, you have to have a servant's attitude and a mentor's wisdom.   Then you have to find people who want the same thing.   Are you one of those who are willing to listen, learn and be coach-able?   Then I am looking to work with you and help you.  I am involved in ACN and another growing network marketing company called VizConnect.   VizConnect is a brand new network marketing company and it is growing fast.  VizConnect uses QR Code technology to take mobile video marketing to the next level.  When scanned, VizConnect QR Codes take the mobile user directly to a targeted marketing video, followed by a unique Call to Action Page.   Mobile marketing has quickly become the way companies are targeting their audiences and VizConnect is leveraging this in a big way.  Get in on the ground floor in this amazing startup company and see where it takes you in the next year or two!   If you would like to learn more, there is a business presentation at Kowloon's in Saugus, MA on Monday, May 20th at 6:30 pm.  Call me at 978-935-0373 if you would like to attend.

So what are you going to do when opportunity knocks on your door?  Answer the call and join the independent business revolution now.   You will be glad you did!   Mike at 978-935-0373.
