Since the inception of the MLM industry in the 1950’s there has been ten recessions in the United States of varying degrees, none have lasted as long as the current recession, none have had such a staggering unemployment rate and none have experienced as large of a decline in the GDP. With each recession the MLM industry has experienced significant growth. The MLM industry is experiencing a growth trend here in the United States. Many MLM companies, large and small, have experienced record growth in overall sales and the number of people entering into an MLM Home Based Business is growing daily.
“When the economy declines, network marketing grows more rapidly.”
Over the last twelve years the industry as a whole has grown worldwide however there has been only moderate growth domestically, although the U.S has been waking up to the of the business potential in recent years. This slower growth here in the U.S. has been over compensated for with double-digit growth in abroad in the midst one of the worst economic downturns in modern history. This is further proof of the theory that “when the economy declines, network marketing grows more rapidly.”
The reason for this phenomenon is simple, there are more people looking either to supplement or replace their income. There are more opportunity seekers in a recessional period due to the uncertainty of their present financial situation. Many have lost their jobs, had their wages or overtime cut back or simply are concerned that they may be next in line for being laid off or cut back. For some who may be secure in their financial situation, a recession serves as a wake-up call that the party may be over and sitting around every night watching T.V. isn’t going to work anymore.
“Thousands of bonus checks sent out by MLM companies each month.”
The MLM industry presents a chance for these passive opportunity seekers to create another stream of income without having to risk as sizeable amount of capital to start their venture. Of the hundreds of thousands of bonus checks sent out by MLM companies each month and the sales volume they represent are the lifeblood of the industry. By percentage, much fewer people have created wealth generating income streams through network marketing. It is also true that there are thousands of people that enjoy complete financial security through their MLM businesses, however the formula which has created such growth and permanence in the MLM industry for over fifty years is providing supplementary income opportunities to mass amounts of people and changing lives they lives in a positive way financially.
This being the case, it is exactly why the MLM industry has grown well during unstable economic periods. That is why now is an ideal time for people to wake up and launch their ventures. There are vast amounts of people that will be drawn to this industry in the next several years. These will be individuals that have yet to consider this industry. Demographically there where tens of millions of people that entered the workforce during the last decade that had never in their adult work experience seen the lean times of economic instability. These people had the luxury of enjoying extra income, vacations, leisure time and other benefits of a strong economy. They need alternatives and for the first time they will be open to opportunities presented to them via network marketing.
Look at these statistics:
• 59 Million people working from home FT of PT according to the DSA Direct Selling Association.
• Over $400 billion is generated each year according to Entrepreneur Magazine.
• Average work from home income is in excess of $59,000 per year according to Richard Poe former editor of Success Magazine.
• 20% of home based entrepreneur’s report that their yearly business is between $100,000 and $500,000 according to Money Magazine.
The Great American Dream is gone. More than 6 million jobs have been eliminated in the past 10 years – including over 2000 jobs per day last year alone – and an estimated 55% of all jobs created in the next 10 years will be near minimum wage in stores, restaurants, and bars. 90% of all the people in North America earn less than $33,000 a year and today’s two-income family are not living as well as their parents did.
So what is the alternative to the Great American Job? Richard Poe, former senior editor for “Success Magazine,” describes in his book “Wave 4” that a shift in thinking has resulted in over 14 million people in the U.S. working from home full-time and another 13 million part-time in the. This number is increasing by almost 600,000 per year. And the average work from home income is $59,250 per year, about twice the average income of wage earners working for someone else. He also states that over 46% of us will be working from home.
Home based business wage earners success rate is over 85% compared with small businesses like retail shops and restaurants, at about 5% success rate after 5 years. Couple that with the flexibility we have to change our schedules and set our hours and then those of us who are parents are now available when our children need us, plus we no longer have the need for the “foster homes” we call day cares, where the care-givers get to see all the “firsts” your child performs. There’s no wonder the number of people looking to work from home has skyrocketed.
This “New Era” of financial growth is largely due to the latest technologies that are now available to those who desire to work from home. Imagine what it would be like to run an international operation if you so choose, right from the comfort of your own home. Well, this is exactly what an MLM business offers! Your MLM business offers you the “freedom” that is available through a constant flow of income that does not depend on the whims of a boss, bonuses or the economy.
Take a look at some of these statistics:
At age 50:
75% of the population has less than $5,000 in the bank for retirement.
At age 65:
45% of Americans depend on relatives
30% depend on charities.
23% are still working (most can’t afford to quit and work until they are no longer physically capable).
Only 2% are self-sustaining.
At the present time:
It is impossible to support a family of two working full time at minimum wage!
For the first time in history, the current generation is averaging a lower standard of living then their parents! Automation is taking layoffs to record highs!
The Bureau of Labor Statistics says…
Out of 100 people that starts working at the age of 25, by the age of 65…
1 is wealthy
4 have enough money to retire
63 depend on social security or charity
29 are deceased
95% of people, age 65 and over cannot afford to retire and work until the day they die!!
What Happened to Safety & Security?
Why we no longer put our trust & faith in “Big Business”
In J. Paul Getty’s book “How To Get Rich”, his first rule for success is, “You must be in business for yourself. You will never get rich working for someone else.”
This partly explains why someone starts a new home based business in the United States every 10 seconds. In the past 20 years alone, the numbers of home-based businesses have grown from 6 million to 59 million with no slow down in sight. In fact, according to the IDC an estimated over 8,500 new home businesses open every day and 48% are college graduates.
The United States is now driven by an information and service economy. Fortune 500 companies and smaller companies steadily continue to reduce their work forces.
As companies continue to downsize and re-organize or close completely, many professionals will seek out and search for new ways to take control of their careers. Many of these individuals have forsworn traditional “nine to five” office jobs and are making their homes pay off in more ways than one.
For the entrepreneur, home-based businesses have become the bridge between work- crazed big cities and easy paced family oriented small towns. More and more people run either full-time or part-time businesses from their homes. People used to believe that their livelihood depended on living in big cities near big corporations. That is no longer true, thanks to mobile phones, personal computers and the Internet, it is no longer necessary to live in close proximity to “Big Business”. You can now operate your own “Big Business” right from your home office.
People across the world are realizing that they can no longer resist change. The world is changing and those who embrace it have the opportunity of a lifetime. Those who do not may find themselves living in poverty. Trends create millionaires and we are in the midst of one of the biggest trends the world has ever seen.
The search for genetically appropriate food sources based on ethnic origin took us back to the beginning; to the book of Genesis, which is why 7 years later we call the underlying research and development effort for this product line – Project Genesis.
God has provided us a bounty of healthful food, perfectly suited for our bodies, including a specific herb mentioned in two passages of The Book of Genesis: an herb yielding seeds which are herbs … and an herb which is so protein-rich, it can be used for meat.
Genesis 1:12 – And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
Genesis 1:29 – And God said, Behold I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
Have you been taught that being a copycat is a bad thing? In school we were punished if you copied your buddy’s homework or for plagiarizing an essay…
While imitation may be the best form of flattery, a knock-off Rolex watch, Armani handbag or pair of Gucci shoes won’t put you on the “A” list.
Now in the Direct Selling Industry (MLM, Network Marketing) you want to be a good copycat. As a matter of fact, you want to be a copycat maker.
The power of the direct selling strategy is that it allows you to tell a story about your product, your company, and yourself. It is this combination of the word-of-mouth endorsements with the loyalty of its customer base that adds instant credibility that a product on a shelf or a television advertisement cannot come close to.
Somebody told you their story and you joined up, and somebody before that told that person, and someone before that, and so on. The danger of relying on this storytelling method of advertising is best demonstrated by the party game called telephone.
Let’s Play Telephone
Playing this game, the first player whispers a phrase or sentence to the next player. Each player successively whispers what that player believes he or she heard to the next. The last player announces the statement to the entire group. Errors typically accumulate in the retelling, so the statement announced by the last player differs significantly, and often amusingly, from the one uttered by the first.
This same problem plagues many direct selling companies and becomes a liability as their distributors begin to change the story by adding to it, via exaggerations and hype or subtracting there by failing to mention or downplaying important information.
Imagine if you had 42 people at your party and each of the people at the party had spent 5 minutes with the original person (in this case you) and listened to you tell the sentence over and over again. This time the outcome of the game would almost certainly come close to, or even exactly match, the original sentence. It would not make for a very fun telephone party game though, especially for the person that had to spend 5 minutes with everyone saying the same sentence over and over again.
What if you just picked 6 people and spent the 5 minutes with them and then had those 6 people do the same? The game would have a very similar output but you would have only spent 5 minutes to reach 42 people instead of the 3 1/2 hours it would take telling each person.
Recruit, Recruit, Recruit?
The direct selling system is not designed for 1 person to recruit a ton of distributors. As you see from the simple math of the example above, utilizing the power of multiplication is much more powerful than addition (2×2 or 2+2, its really that simple, now you are getting it multiplication is the key you want to copy or should I say copycat). If you concentrate on adding more distributors personally then most of your time and effort will be spent training, encouraging, and following up with each of them.
Chances are that you joined your direct selling company to create more time for yourself and your family while generating an income stream that continued to work without you having to be present to do so. Like the person in our telephone game, you can spend your time doing this but it isn’t going to be much of a party.
If Momentum Is Going to Be You Have To Copy Me
Instead, find 6 distributors and then say to them, “You Have To Copy Me” Take the time and effort to teach them the direct selling company story and the nuances of it. Make sure that they hear you tell the story over and over again. A great way to accomplish this is to offer to talk to their prospects with them as a three way call or meeting.
You could do this in a group all at once, but doing it one at a time so your distributor has a chance to hear you tell the story to different people multiple times is much better. In the process, you train your new distributor how to tell the story and make a copy of yourself that can now go out and do the same with their 6 distributors, and so on, and so on. That’s the power of multiplication!
Remember it only takes 2 personally sponsored distributors to qualify for team commissions in the binary compensation plan of most direct selling companies. If everyone commits to bring a minimum of 2 new qualified distributors into business with them and teach them to copycat and each of them do the same everyone’s business will grow exponentially.
Let’s say that you understood the simplicity of this duplicatable business model “Bring 2 Teach 2 to Copycat and Help 2 Teach 2 to Copycat” and you brought 2 new distributors into your business in your 1st week for example and taught them to copycat and you, then helped those 2 distributors bring their 2 new distributors the following week and teach them to copycat and so on, in 3 months, you would have 8,392 distributors in your business. That’s the power of exponential growth when everyone commits to bring 2, teach 2 and help 2 (that’s with everyone committing two just 2, you can bring more, what if you brought 6. then your business could grow even faster, but you only have to bring, teach and help 2). Now that’s simple, just become the best Copycat.
The Best Copycat Wins
The secret about direct selling is that it isn’t about selling at all, but about teaching. Teaching your downline (distributors who come into business with you) to become copycats, it helps to eliminate the direct selling buyer’s remorse, reduces the need to generate a huge list of people to prospect, prevents over-hyping and over-exaggerating the story, and provides more free time and financial security. Aren’t these some of the main reasons people list for the negative reputation of the direct selling industry? Can you imagine if more direct selling sponsors would spend more time creating copycats?
While it is true that timing and positioning are important in the direct selling industry, there are many who have got in early and did not make it big. If you fail to properly train your downline distributors the odds are that you and they will fail. The early bird may get the worm in direct selling, but it is the cat that gets the bird … the “Copycat”.
Sometimes in life the stars just line up and that’s what is happening right now for our business. More than just about any other company on the planet, forEarth is perfectly positioned for substantial growth in the next few months and this could mean big money for you.
Our major business focuses on 3 mega trends, which are the three E’s that are major issues in the media: Economy, Environment and Energy. Let’s take a look at the front page news this week.
Energy
The price of oil is up 70% in the past 12 months, while a gallon of gas is up 40% at the pump. We are approaching $3.00 for a gallon of regular unleaded in many parts of the country and the prices are sure to go higher after Memorial day. $3.00 per gallon is the magic number. That’s where gas prices become a top-of-mind issue and really effect peoples behavior.
This means even more people will be very receptive to our message of Saving Green.
Environment
The Gulf of Mexico oil spill has dumped 1.6 million gallons of oil into a very delicate marine habitat and is still gushing. This is the worst man-made environmental disaster in the US since the EXXON Valdez in 1989. The slick now covers 9,100 square miles. It is 3 times larger than originally predicted and continues to grow hourly. The damage is expected to hit the Florida Keys, where 84% of the nation’s coral reefs are located.
This means that even more people will be very receptive to our message of Living Green.
Economy
The US Department of Labor just reported that the Unemployment Rate is up 1.1% versus the same month last year with more than 15 million Americans out of work. 6.5 million people have been out of work for more than 27 weeks. The Consumer Price Index is up 2.3% while wages are up only 1.7%, meaning that the spending power of individuals continues to decline and credit card debt continues to rise.
This means that even more people will be very receptive to our message of Making Green.

How much money will still come in each and every month if you do not ever go to work again?
Most people are aware that if you put your money into a bank it will earn you an income. How much money do YOU have in YOUR bank account? How much interest do YOU earn every month.
Example Monthly Income
@ 5% Interest
Savings in the Bank
Monthly Income
$12,000
$50 /mth
$24,000
$100 /mth
$48,000
$200 /mth
$120,000
$500 /mth
$240,000
$1,000 /mth
$600,000
$2,500 /mth
$1,200,000
$5,000 /mth
$2,400,000
$10,000 /mth
Earning a passive income of $500 per month means you needed to have $120,000 in the bank!
For $10,000 per month you would have to have saved over $2 million!
How long would YOU have to work a regular job in order to save that amount?
Most people don’t have even $20,000 in the bank. They typically have at least that much owing on their credit cards.
What is your plan? Do you have one? Would you like to know about a proven system for true economic empowerment?
It seems like everybody has their own theory on how to survive the recession. Just some of the kind of stuff you’ll see across the internet and blogosphere is advice like:
1. Protect your job
2. Move while others are distracted
3. Earn extra money
4. Evaluate your mortgage
5. Refinance high interest credit cards
6. Reduce spending
7. Haggle your way to savings
8. Conserve and reduce your energy bills
9. Avoid taking on any unnecessary debts
I really could go on to reach 99 just to represent the saying, “99 ways to skin a cat”. But I won’t waste your time. I know you can Google it for yourself and find hundreds more advice from every Tom, Dick and Harry out there.
So let me get straight to the point.
With so many ways and advice, how come not everyone gets rich? How come not everyone who reduces their spending get rich? How come not everyone who has an education get rich? How come not everyone who starts a business get rich?
Because it’s not about what you do, it’s about how you do it. Cause while there are 99 ways to skin a cat, if you don’t do it RIGHT — whichever method you have chosen — it won’t bring RESULTS.
So what is the ONE right thing that you need to do to get rich?
Bob Proctor knows. And he wants to tell you that there is a science — a formula — to get rich. It’s about doing certain things in a certain way. And this blueprint has been proven to make anyone get rich across centuries.
So before you waste your time trying out 99 ways blindly, get this one formula that will transform your financial future.
