My work at home experience

The Difference Between Job income and Residual Income

I wanted to share some information with you to consider your options to there full potential.
Before I started working at home, I really had no idea about Residual income.
As I researched  about the subject, I had found how much more powerful Residual income is than getting paid at a job.

I hope this article helps you as you move forward on your search.

 

If you are out there in the corporate world holding down a job you may never have thought about the difference between earning residual versus linear income.

 

So what’s the difference?

 

Let me ask the same question a different way. Would you rather get paid for your own time and efforts or receive a share of other people’s time and efforts?

 

Let’s look at a couple of LINEAR income (job income) examples first:

 

If you have a job and get paid hourly wages, that’s called linear income. You put in your time and you get paid for the hours you work. If you have a day off or you are sick you don’t get paid. Doctors, lawyers or anyone who is self-employed earns a linear income as well. If a doctor doesn’t see patients or goes on vacation, he doesn’t get paid.

 

Now let’s take a look at some examples of RESIDUAL income:

 

Elvis made a lot of records during his lifetime.  Although he’s been dead for a long time now, every time one of his songs plays on the radio his family still receives “royalties.”

 

The same goes for movie stars. Regardless of how long ago they made the movie, every time it plays on TV or is sold on a DVD they receive royalties for it. Just like Elvis, they get paid over and over for it forever.

 

You may ask, …”Well how does earning residual income
vs linear income relate to me??”

 

If you have a home based business you are creating a “royalty income” aka “residual income” of your own. You do something once, like acquiring a new customer for your company, and you will get paid on that customer as long as he or she stays with you. Every time that customer places an order, you get paid a percentage.

 

You can also leverage your time and efforts by inviting people to join your team and teach them to do the same … acquiring new customers for your company. Then you also get paid a percentage on their efforts.

 

Residual income happens when this royalty income starts to grow. Let’s say your customers love your products so much they start telling their family and friends and they all become your customers too. And then they in turn tell all of their friends as well. That’s kind of like how AOL grew so big so fast. Word of mouth is the fastest and most cost effective way of acquiring new customers.

 

Once this happens, things take on a life of their own. You can’t stop your business from growing, even if you tried.  When you’re sick or on vacation your business just keeps growing as one happy customer tells another.

 

Now, that’s the difference between trading time for money like with linear income, where you work a certain number of hours and get paid for those hours. And residual income where you do something once and get paid for it over and over again and also where you leverage your time with others.

Again, the question … would you rather earn residual income or linear income?

 

If you answered RESIDUAL INCOME than I would suggest you start working on that. Start today! You can do it part-time while you are still earning a linear income from your job.  Commit a certain amount of hours to work at home every week.  Set realistic goals. Remember, you eat an elephant one bite at a time. Be consistent. Be patient. And never, ever give up.

 

I love this quote by Jim Rohn: “Work full-time in your job and part-time on your fortune.”

 

That sums it all up, doesn’t it?

 

I look forward to helping you find your freedom at home!

Sizzle Cards VS. Business Cards

Sizzle Cards verses Business Cards

With so many options to choose from, how do you know what is the right choice in choosing the right tool to market your business?

Well, lets Visit The Difference between  Sizzle Cards verses Business Cards.

A business card is a tool that is used to give out information about your business but it is very vague with limited information such as, Your name, address, phone number, and a website.
It is a useful tool but not one that has much impact.

A sizzle card is a business card size and it has much more information than just contact info and the back side is also used as well to bullet point some great things about your company or service.

This has a bigger impact because unlike a business card it has a Recorded overview number located on it that someone can call to find out more information about your company, product, or service.

Recorded overview is usually called a sizzle number or hotline.

If your Company has a Recorded overview, you should really be using that to help you with your marketing efforts. You can also Record one yourself by using www.Simplevoicebox.com

I like to use www.vistaprint.com for all my stationary needs.  They are reasonably priced and you can also get matching stationary and magnets for your vehicle as well. If you haven't tried them yet, you really should!

Here are some examples of Sizzle Cards that I use:

Here you will see the Front of each card as well as the back side.

This one is for The Service I provide: 



FRONT SIDE                                                       





            


 This one I use when looking for people interested in working at home:
FRONT SIDE





  





The one below is what I exclusively use in looking for Sales Professionals.
It's like a small ad and I leave these where ever I go



This is meant to be used to have them get a taste of what it is and to have them call me so I can ask a few questions of what they are looking for and direct them to call a detailed Recorded overview which is more like what we would be discussing if we were eye ball to eye ball.


This really just sums it up and I think you can agree, a sizzle card is much better than a business card.  It will give you a greater impact. Believe me, when you get a call from one of these types of cards you can pretty much bet that it is a qualified lead. And, oh my.. its such a time saver!

I hope this information was useful to you!

Many Blessings!

Beware of Dream Stealers

Although your own internal talk is the most important, you will occasionally need to seek external feedback on your progress toward your goals. When you do, be sure it is from people who are truly interested in seeing you succeed.

Don’t seek feedback from fair-weather friends, competitive peers, or any person who doesn’t have your best interests at heart. Neutral doesn’t count. Get feedback from someone who is on your side but will still be objective and honest with you.

 

I’ve seen it time and again that misery truly does love company. Jealousy creates some of the most miserable people I know. Surpass the achievements of your particular social crowd or your business colleagues, and look out for the slings and arrows of those who wish you were back where they are. You have to dodge the snide remarks and catty comments. Let them roll right off you. Don’t internalize them.

             
Only pay attention to feedback from those who have similar goals or who are working actively alongside you to achieve goals of their own. Motives and fears run deep. Study them in others. The sympathetic fair-weather friend who supports you and comforts you when you’re down, may like you best when you are in just that state: down and dependent.

 

Ultimately, nobody else is responsible for your life but you. Nobody else is accountable for your actions but you. Therefore, nobody’s expectations for you and opinions about you are as important as your own. So make sure those take precedence in your mind over all others, and if you do need to consult with someone else, think very carefully before you choose exactly who.

 

 

Equally important, be prepared to sell your ideas to an indifferent world. As passionate as you are about your business and the fact that your products and services will have positive, life-changing benefits to everyone you meet, you are going to find resistance every time you tell your story.
People are most interested in their own dreams and goals. They have difficulty believing that you have found a better way than they have to reach them. They are suspicious and guarded when anyone tries to sell them or change their minds. Rather than have others steal your dreams by raining on them, ask questions and find out about their dreams before you launch into your sermon. People buy what they want first, then what they need. Find what turns them on. It may not be what turns you on. By helping others get what they want, you’ll get what you want too!

The Habits of Success and Simple actions to get there

The Habits of Success and The simple actions to get there     Develop and reinforce these five habits of success.  When you do, you will not have to make new decisions every morning. You instinctively know what you are going to do and how you are going to do it!

1. The habit of POSITIVE THINKING! Successful people have simply formed the habit of doing what failures do not like to do and will not do: they think positively!  They have the habit of expecting to win, the habit of planning to win,  the habit of working to win . . . and they win! 2. The habit of PROSPECTING! Develop this habit and you will have prospects everywhere and you will have an endless supply of Class–A leads. 3. The habit of CALLING ON PEOPLE! This makes selling fun and exciting — and fruitful! 4. The habit of SELLING! Use a system or sales presentation. Follow it to a “T”! It will make you a skilled communicator, a person who speaks with emotion and conviction. 5. The habit of WORKING! Work is a privilege! Work is a joy! It is one of the most exciting things you can do.  When you get results, it pumps your adrenalin, gives you more energy, and multiplies more results! How do you acquire these habits? You simply decide that the opportunity of presenting is a service is worth doing! Determine ahead of time the personal goals you  can achieve for success in this business! Be confident that you have the ability to change or to do whatever it takes to get the job done! Enter into it without giving mental recognition to the  possibility of defeat! Live each day with positive expectancy! Stick to the basics and the fundamentals! The fact is that living the life of your dreams is possible. People prove that every day. Someone somewhere is going to get rich,  get healthy and improve their life. My recommendation is this: Let it be you! So what are the Simple actions you ask. Here they are... The first and most important is to make a commitment to work on yourself.  Are you going to improve or stay the same? No matter what you have achieved, you are at a certain point right now. What you have achieved in the past is fine, but it doesn’t make a difference for the future. The decision about what you will become is made each day and every day. Each day someone is making  the decision to better him or herself. Let that person be you! The second is to make a plan.  Once you have decided to become better you will have to have a plan. It doesn’t have to be a long, intricate plan. It can be simple. Save a dollar a day. Walk a mile a day. Read an article a day. That is a simple plan with achievable goals.  Someone is going to develop a plan that will take them into the future of their dreams. Let it be you! The third is to begin to act. All of the great ideas, without action, become stale and useless. The key to turning dreams into reality is action. People who have great ideas are a dime a dozen. People who act on their dreams and ideas are the select few, but they are the ones who gain the wealth, wealth and wisdom that is available. Someone will act today. Let it be you. My encouragement to you is to stop looking at others who live the good life, wishing that you were as well, and instead begin to commit to your improvement, develop a plan and act on it. Someone is going to. Let it be you! Blessings!
