"It's expensive
to be poor." Fast Company Magazine, 10.02
In this issue of Fast Company magazine,
the editors relate what author Barbara Ehrenreich wrote in her new
book: 'Nickel and Dimed':
"I'm baffled by failed executives who demand huge severance packages
to 'maintain their lifestyle'. They should try to get by on $7 an
hour. I did...
Without a bank account, you have to pay
to get your checks cashed. Without extra cash, you can't buy in
bulk to save money. And it's almost impossible to find a place to
live, even if you can make the rent, because you can't make the
security deposit...I had a co-worker at Wal-Mark for whom buying
a polo shirt on sale or $7 was out of the question. I drove in car
pools to housecleaning jobs where a tollbooth presented a crisis:
Would the boss reimburse us?
What struck me when I returned to my real life was how easy it felt.
With money, things just happen. Need to get across town quickly?
Take a cab.
Don't feel like cooking? Order takeout. The ease of it is miraculous..."
She shows what many know: It's expensive to be poor.
So why not be part of the miracle and NOT be poor? Lincoln said
the best thing we can do for the poor is "don't join them."
According to author Thomas J. Stanley, author of "The Millionaire
Next Door":
Direct sales and network marketing are a business of your own. Yet,
despite years being in that business, making income eludes most
of those in it.
But it doesn't have to be that way.
Learn how to earn a steady bonus check with OR without active downline.
Learn how to get a customer base, like cable TV companies have,
that give you (and them) regular monthly income even without anyone
in a downline.
Yes? Do some of you pay for cable each month?
You get the idea. The cable comnpanies make a little on each payment
you and millions of others make each month.
Why not you?
Can you picture yourself with several hundred customers a year from
today?
If their orders average $65/mo, how much will you be making each
month?
From 313 regular customers?
Here's a way hundreds of people are making their network marketing
business work. Try to get in on the Dell Advantage course, which
shows you how to ASK for pepole who want the product or service
you market for the same reason you do. Who will stick with it like
you.
Two new classes, at http://Banana Marketing.com/dell_advantage.html
First 48 for each class only.
We do mixed company, or 'just one company' as with Shaklee.
Unless specified, the Dell
class is mixed, with people from all different companies.
Chapter 17 of the new book, "Do you have a
Plan B" shows you how to find those people who want the product
or service for the same reason you do, and who will likely stay
with it. See excerpts here.
