Now that that is outta the way

Yesterday, I kind of broke the ice by doing a little Hello World test post.  I am back today and looking around it seems like there haven't been any explosions. There's no broken glass and I don't hear any women screaming or children moaning softly in despair. Since the world does not seem to have come to an end, I figure it's safe to drop another post and then tomorrow I will again check for any apocalyptic results.

It has always been my opinion that the best way to make money is with some kind of program or system that pays out a residual over time, like the way musicians or movie stars do a task once and then get paid royalties forever. It has never been my way to work a "9-5" job. This is the way most of the world works. But it just doesn't make any sense to me.  And while I was growing up my stepdad always told me that I should work smarter and not harder. But even so, he was always pushing me to be part of the 9-5 grind.  For the past twenty years I have done a great number of different jobs, though I have never really stuck with any one position. Nothing really seems to fit. I just can't make myself commit to it.

The world is not the same place it was hundreds or even thousands of years ago. We, people, as a whole, do not need to get up at the crack of dawn and work tirelessly until sundown just to produce enough of whatever it is that we make to eke out a living anymore.  The general eight hour a day 5 day a week rat race is no longer necessary.

After a great deal of exhaustive research I have come to find that there are only really two ways to create a residual income. The first is to be the owner of a company and have a great product and awesome employees that take care of everything for you. There are a number of problems with this. It takes a lot of time to set up. It is very costly and there is no guarantee that you will ever find the quality of people that you need in order to make it work. The other way is network marketing.

There are thousands of network marketing companies both on and offline. Amongst them all they sell pretty much every product or service in the world, from advertising to mortgages to zinnias. The great thing about network marketing is that you get to be your own boss, you decide when to work and how much and you do not even need an office.  There are so many potential vehicles to get you where you want to be. The question is which one is gonna work for me? Over the last two decades, I have found a whole lot of them that are not the answer. I have spent nearly thirty thousand dollars and literally thousands of hours not being successful.  I've been a member of Streamline International, Amway, and Global Domains International just to name a few of the dozens of different programs that I have tried. I have tried many different health products used all the different online services and even clogged up my home with a bunch of stuff that I had to buy that I did not want or need.  And I very nearly gave up completely. I was becoming convinced that nothing out there would ever work for me. Until just the other day that is.

I finally found something that I am absolutely sure has the power and magnitude to get me where I want to be.

Check back with me tomorrow when I reveal just what this awesome vehicle is.
