The Bible says "the love of money is the root of all evil," Despite that Biblical principle, money certainly inspires us to do many things that we might otherwise leave undone. Money may have even been one of the reasons why you thought about going into business in the first place. In fact, money is the main reason why so many people give it their best shot at least once or twice during a lifetime.

Just the thought of possibly going into business is intriguing enough. The prospect of being able to develop a long-lasting residual income is even more exciting. After all, in these changing times of failed economics, sky-high prices and dirt low interest rates, who doesn't need more money? Even at that, the desire for a second income, alone, sometimes isn't enough to persuade some people to go into business - especially when they don't have the slightest idea as to what kind of business to go into.

Working one full-time job of thirty seven to forty hours a week is bad enough. When you consider taking on a second part-time job with an additional twenty-four or twenty-five hours a week, the going really gets tough. Longer hours may mean a loss of much-needed sleep. Also, there is the ever-growing possibility of becoming more susceptible to colds and other sicknesses due to a run-down condition . . . perhaps causing the need for the many nutritional products that are available today through network marketing. Working two jobs isn't easy. Heck, working one job isn't easy . . .and in many cases, employers are asking people to work overtime just so they don't have to pay out extra benefits to additional workers. This causes nerves to get shattered and tempers flare up as less and less time is devoted to family life and other social obligations. There simply is not enough extra time left to devote to all of the other everyday demands.

"It is far better to dare great things than to be numbered with those timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."
-----Theodore Roosevelt

Why, then, put yourself through all of the stress and strain? Is money alone worth it? Maybe it is and maybe it isn't. It has been said a mere $300.00 additional family income per month per would change the life of that family . . . and that 90% of the people fall into that category. The need for additional money may make it seem like it's worthwhile until all of a sudden, along comes a simple little sickness of some kind and along with that comes many unexpected doctor and medical expenses. When that happens, you usually begin to wonder if it is really worth it.

What else, then, is there to be derived or gained from a second income if all it is, is another job - another place to work and another place to get sick of working. And so it is: The rat race goes on and on. The more money you need, the more you work, the more money you need. It seems like an never ending cycle.

Well, believe it or not, there is an answer. If approached in the right manner, it can be very rewarding and very much worthwhile. Life doesn't have to be a devastating experience as you might have been led to believe. It is true that a job is a job and work is a very compelling argument for building a business with a steady income.

A steady residual income is even better and really makes it all very much worthwhile. In the case of a job, you have to either punch a time clock or work on a piece-work basis. Either way, when you stop or quit working, the paychecks also stop.

If only there was another way. THERE IS! . . . AND IT'S CALLED" BUILDING A BUSINESS FOR YOUR FUTURE". It is much harder to do, but it is also much more rewarding when you succeed. The benefits are numerous, and there is much more to be gained than mere money along.

A residual income is the key. Can you imagine working for your future now and earning money now and later? Can you imagine having money come in, whether you were at home or on vacation? Can you imagine building such an effective and powerful business that eventually it will grow on its own . . .bigger and better year after year? Can you imagine building a business, not only for your future, but for your children's future?

Immediate positive action is a step in the right direction, but unless you take that first positive step, you will never go anywhere. You can debate and procrastinate until the cows come home, but unless you go to work and put the cows out to pasture in the first place, they will never have the chance to come home. Give yourself a chance. It may, very well, be your one chance of a lifetime to work toward your goals and dreams and to experience the fruits of your labor. The rewards of success might be even greater than your wildest dreams.

Success will not happen, however, without a certain amount of pain and sacrifice or without spending a lot of time and a considerable amount of money.

"For every hill I've had to climb,
For every stone that bruised my feet,
For all the blood and sweat and grime,
For blinding storms and burning heat,
My heart sings but a grateful song -
These were the things that made me strong
----Anon

FINANCIAL SECURITY AND INDEPENDENCE . . . . . . are the carrots on a stick that could be yours. Are they worth the effort? That is something that you will have to decide for yourself. See how much you can save. A lot of valuable time is being lost every day. Start now and take that first step towards ensuring your future.

You will never know if you can do it unless you try. The experience that you will gain through trying is probably worth the effort . . . but remember . . . success is a journey . . .not a destination! Many men and women need the experience gained by going into business to round out their lives and their lifelong ambitions. For me, seeing my children off to school rather than their sending me off to work is part of that American Dream. What is the American Dream for you? Fulfill your lifelong ambitions by starting on the adventure of a life time. Some how, somewhere, become a part of network marketing . . .today.
