Health and Wealth: How Do You Enjoy Both?

Without health, all the wealth in the world cannot be truly enjoyed. Without enough wealth to take care of your basic needs, the health you do have may be hard to keep. Most of my posts have been about health. However, I am blessed with a good wife, a good family, a job I enjoy, and a business that allows me to help others with their health and wealth. I am truly blessed.

However, the economy in the United States is not the best it has ever been. For example, Microsoft has just announced 18,000 layoffs.  That is 14% of their work force. Being work-force-reduced from a good-paying hi-tech job is not fun. But it does happen. Being downsized from any other jobs is not fun either, but that also happens. Are you prepared for just such an occurrence? What are your other plans? Do you have an alternate stream of income? It is hard, especially if you are older worker. Having your own business is an important part of financial survival. But you want a business that doesn’t require a lot of overhead. You want a business that will free up your time and not take away the precious time you do have. The best businesses for this are in building relationships, not necessarily having your own business that you must be overseeing all hours of the day. Working with others, where you can earn from your work and the work of others is the best solution. The key to this type of business is one where you can help others become wealthy, and from that effort you can generate a nice income for yourself also. Find a company that encourages teamwork and rewards all in the organization in a fair compensation plan.

If you are looking at relationship (network) marketing companies, take a close look at their compensation plans. The two most common are multi-level and binary. From my experience, in a multilevel company, you need to build wide. You try to get as many people directly below you as possible. In a binary marketing plan, you have two legs. Once you fill those two legs, you build on these two legs and help those you introduce to the company to do the same. Often the multi-level compensation plans has a depth limit, so if a person comes in one level beyond that limit you will have no benefit for the work they do. In the binary compensation plan, there is usually no limit to the depth from where the income can flow up to you. In both plans, the key to success is to have about 20 members in your organization.  In the multi-level plan, you need to recruit all twenty by yourself. In most binary plans you need to recruit two to four new associates and then help them do the same. You can see with the binary plan, you will be working with others to build your businesses, while in the multi-level plan you are often forced to compete with each other for new associates. It is good to work together.

The best wishes to all those who are struggling with regard to work and income. Find multiple ways to bring in income and you will be the most secure. <ay you all have good health and sufficient wealth for the desires of your heart.
