So, I would like to do a comparison of the Traditional style business versus a Network Marketing business in Direct Sales. So here we go!

Let’s start with a traditional business, or a brick and mortar type of setup that has a boss, employees, health plan and all that jazz. First off, I would like to get something straight, this type of business is set up just like an ant colony. All the worker ants support the queen by bringing her food, building her home and providing protection. The boss/owner of an enterprise is the one that obviously makes the most money. Who makes that money for him, his workers. These types of businesses obviously offer a valuable product or service for it’s customers but only the owner makes a real profit. Now I could go into this a lot deeper but we know that the employees aren’t the ones making the most money. Employees struggle to make ends meet. They definitely don’t flourish and what does this do? It makes them more dependent and they are paid the minimum wage possible for their work. The minimum! So we can safely say that the boss, is the profitable one.

The product or service offered obviously varies and can make others money depending on what it is, but usually, the customer does not profit monetarily from your product. They just give their money in exchange for the item or service of value and that’s it.

Now, Network Marketing. Most people in this world will automatically think of MLM when they hear “Network Marketing.” I am speaking of Direct Sales, which is much more lucrative and on more of a level playing field for all involved. In this type of business, which most people call a Home Based Business, the owners of the company still profit the most, which is standard with most businesses, but Network Marketing companies are designed to profit others monetarily instead of just themselves. They provide a product or service of value to the customer attached to a lucrative business opportunity. Network Marketing can be classified as a group of Entrepreneurs working together to market a specific product or service as independent contractors. So instead of being paid employees, they are independent business owners usually paid through commission when a product is sold.

Now this is where the huge difference is between this business model and the traditional one, the independent business owner makes nearly 60% of the total sale as commission! As far as my experience goes, no other traditional style company offers employees that type of a payout. They are usually paid a wage and a small percentage of their sales volume.

Network Marketing is a leadership factory. It teaches, trains and often times is a stepping stone for Entrepreneurs moving on to bigger things, but the basis for their success was learned while in Network Marketing. Donald Trump said that if he had to start from scratch all over again, he would start in Network Marketing. There is so much potential in this type of business model, which obviously most people don’t realize. Every new associate or independent business owner has the same income potential, regardless of the experience, education, or employers point of view. Their level of income is dependent on their own ability to create it. There is a product in place, a system to show you how to do the business and others who have gone before you to mentor you. I don’t know an easier way!

I absolutely love Network Marketing. It allows people complete freedom….time freedom, Financial Freedom and the lifestyle of their choosing. It empowers people to realize their own greatness instead of making them work for the minimum at great sacrifice to their home life. It is a curse and a plague for those who misunderstand it and fail at it but a jewel for those who dicover it and succeed at it. It is definitely not meant for everyone but everyone is welcome. The possibilities are endless and in my opinion, Network Marketing is the business model of the future.

Well what happens when you have a family event in the middle of the week? What if your family wants to go visit the grandparents for the weekend or maybe even the entire week? What then? You are “home based” right?

I guess it really depends on what kind of Home Based Business you are involved in. Let’s do some reviews of  home based businesses that are more “mobile” than others.

Ebay – Now I am not an Ebay power seller nor will I ever be. Ebay can definitely be a home based business but requires handling and shipping of products, unless of course you do some kind of wholesale distribution. You can set it up to have the manufacturers ship the products for you. All you do is take the orders and collect the profits. But for the most part, an ebay business is “home based.”

Day Care – I only have a few words for this one…..50 kids that are not your own! Definitely “home based!”

Avon, Arbonne, etc – I don’t know much about these businesses and don’t pretend to know, but my mother used to be involved in both of these and she spent most of her time having “make-up” parties at her home, hitting up family and friends, making local visits and hand delivering the product to her customers. So from my experience, “home based.”

MLM/Network Marketing – When you think of a Home Based Business, this is usually the category to search in. These are primarily marketing businesses connected to a wholesale company. Now most MLM companies that I have known require you to pre-purchase your product. Thus, you have a garage full of stuff. On the other hand, there are some MLM opportunities where the wholesale company ships the product direct to your customer. Most of your marketing is done on the internet or over the phone and can be done Internationally. So depending on the opportunity, “mobile!”

Direct Sales – Most direct sales home based businesses have a wholesale company that ships the product for you. You are never required to pre-purchase or warehouse any product. My pick is definitely with Direct Sales mainly because I get paid first. The customer pays me directly, I then pay the wholesale amount to the wholesale company, then they deal with the shipping and customer service. In direct sales, most of your marketing is done online, in newspapers, magazines, etc and can all be done with a phone and a laptop! Direct Sales in brilliant, much more lucrative and definitely “mobile!”

There you have it. Finding a Home Based Business that is mobile is fairly simple and will allow you to experience true freedom to come and go as you please. Take your business with you on vacation, a work trip, while attending a conference, attending family events or where ever it is you decide to go. It’s a beautiful thing when you can take your cash machine with you!

The reason I suggest Direct Sales is due to the compensation plan. Now there are many different Direct Sales business opportunities out there with many different compensation plans, choose the one that supports your financial goals. The compensation plan I am accustomed to pays me first, and then the wholesale company. I collect payment for the product and then forward the company their share. My keep is about 60% of the total cost of the product. I don’t know of any business, retail or wholesale, that has those kind of profits. That is huge!

Most of the time, with a Direct Sales Home based business, your commissions are going to be fairly large. I know with most MLM companies you get $20 here and $30 there for the sale of a product. Try $1,000 here and $14,000 there for a change. If you are looking to create some true wealth then I don’t know of any other Home Based Business that can provide the level of income this one can.

Do your due diligence when choosing a Home Based Business. Make sure it has a track history of success and talk with someone who is doing it. Jump in with them as a student. Follow the system they have prepared for you and whatever you do, do not try to re-invent the wheel, so to speak. The system is there for a reason….for your success. If it just so happens that you are looking into my Home Based Business, I look forward working with you. With just a little bit of capitol at start-up, you can blow your bank account through the roof.

When choosing an income opportunity, decide how much you would like to make. There are certain business opportunities that are only looking for very ambitious entrepreneurs. That is what I look for in someone when taking them on as a student. They have to have a strong desire to succeed, lofty financial goals, and the ability to be coachable and trainable. Other opportunities may take anyone who wants to get started.

If you would like to make a few hundred a month, you may want to look into typing from home, data entry or an MLM company. Most of those opportunities have very little start-up and can make you a few extra bucks. On the other hand, if you are looking for real wealth generation, creating time freedom, retiring yourself from your job, or starting a business to replace your current 6 figure income, direct sales is what you are looking for.

Now, I don’t have any recommendations for anyone who is looking to make an extra couple hundred a month. I do have a suggestion for someone who is looking to become wealthy. I am very successful at what I do, which is teaching entrepreneur minded people a very simple and lucrative system. I assist those who are capable of making quick and intelligent decisions to dupicate my results, or in other words, follow the system. It’s a lot like a franchise, plug and play! I am one of the top income earners in this business opportunity and also in all of direct sales and am more than qualified to lead you to success.

So there you have it! Find what you are looking for, don’t hesitate to get started, and make it happen. Your goals are only one decision away.
