The United States is experiencing the worst economic times since the 1930’s. People all over this country are wondering what they can do to get ahead. How can we thrive when so many are saying our economic future is only going to get worse? Is there any ‘safe’ investment these days? And if so, what is it? The answer to that question is absolutely yes! The safe investment…is you.

You may have thought of starting a home based business before but have never taken that leap of faith. Some of the worlds most successful entrepreneurs (Donald Trump, Robert Kiyosake) agree that starting a home based network marketing business that allows you to get educated by leveraging a system is one of the best investments you can make in yourself (with the least amount of risk!) Maybe you’ve investigated opportunities before but never found the right one. Maybe you’ve even been in the home based business, MLM or network marketing industry before but it didn’t quite work out. So, what has changed and why is now different? In a word, TIMING.

There are millions of people today searching for solutions to their economic problems and many will search the web to find one. People are discovering that they need to do more than merely trade their hours for dollars and leave their financial future up to a boss that is far more concerned about the bottom line than feeding their family. The internet has totally revolutionized the MLM and network marketing industry by linking people together with astonishing speed. The old ways of making lists, attending weekly hotel meetings and bugging your friends and family is pretty much a thing of the past for people who understand the power of the internet and where the industry is headed in the next 5 years. The people making the big money today are using the power of the web to literally make millions. Many of these people are what you would consider “ordinary” people, but they have simply chosen to embrace the changes the internet has brought about and there has never been a better time for you to do the same.

This year and in the years to come, millions upon millions of people will decide to “bail themselves out” and they will use the internet and network marketing as their tool to do it. Why? Because of two concepts: duplication and leverage.

Let me ask you a question. What if you could replicate yourself hundreds of times over, send all of your copies out to get jobs, and you could collect a small portion of the money they made? How cool would that be and how many times would you replicate yourself? If that sounds “far out” to you, listen up.

Back in the 1950s an unknown milkshake machine salesman met two brothers that owned 5 hamburger stands. He noticed that each stand served the same burgers and operated the exact same way. These two brothers had created a system that cranked out these burgers at an astonishing rate of speed. This salesman realized that if this system was so successful in this small town, it could also work in other towns and cities.

He approached the brothers about expanding their system. To his amazement, they were not interested. But he did not give up. He purchased the rights from the two brothers to expand this amazing system and duplicated it all over the nation. He found people that wanted to own their own business and trained them in exchange for 2% of the profits they made. Everyone thought he was crazy. But today, the McDonalds franchises are still going strong and Ray Kroc still makes millions of dollars a year and he has been dead for almost 2 decades.

Why not you? If a milkshake machine salesman can do it, so can you. What if Ray Kroc had the internet back then? Are you starting to get the picture?

As a brick and mortar fast food restaurant, McDonalds exploded because they had a system of expanding and teaching entrepreneurs how to be successful owning their own business. The opportunity for ordinary people to do the same thing is even better on the internet…if you find the right system.
