Contribution to Each Others' Success

Early on in the evaluation process of joining a business, it is prudent and fair to evaluate your enroller.  This is why we "preach" to anyone considering joining us is that you have to work hard at establishing your credibility and be worthy of being followed. One lens to look at this is through in the title of this post.  It is fair to consider how two people can "contribute to each others' success".  In this context, please understand, you need to make a commitment to entering a relationship.  You are "joining" a person and a community... not a "deal" to make money. It is completely fair and reasonable to judge how you will "click" with the person who has introduced you.  Hopefully, in them, you will glean a sense of integrity and truthfulness with a bit of an edge (a disclaimer) that what we do is not easy and is not for everyone.  Otherwise, everyone would be doing it. Our business is about the interdependence of a large ...

Security

What is security?  To many, it means having a job with benefits.  Going to work every day, having a predictable paycheck and getting two weeks off a year.  All play a role in defining how most people view "security". There is a movement going on in the home business industry that suggests you "create your own economy" that is independent of the traditional economy.  What this means is that you have control of your finances (such that) you can/could live independently from the eight-hour-a-day slog. Forget about the lifestyle considerations this will afford you.  Forget about ALL of the creature comforts of toys, travel and being a big tipper.  Simply reflect on the underlying, fundamental baseline of what it will feel like waking up every morning knowing that your bills are covered - and will be for as long as you can rationally see into the future. This is what our business model offers.  This is the goal.  Getting there does not happe...

An Alternate Economy to the Job Economy

Most people have jobs.  Understood.  All good. For most, this is not a choice - but is a function of how they have been taught to think and then adapting it to their role in life... to have a job with benefits... being a responsible, productive member of society... yadda, yadda, yadda...  Still, all good.  This is the way the world works for most people. The WorkingPoorNoMore Community exists to pose an alternative.  We propose (in addition to your current job) that you take the time to understand a different and more personalized way to make a living.  The common sense aspect deals with your ability to control your future by controlling your income. Under the WorkingPoorNoMore umbrella, we have a variety of marketing sites that focus on different target markets.  We introduce people to a specific online businesses that is progressive, ultimately building into full-time residual income that enables people to consider leaving the world o...

Financial Literacy, Leverage, and Understanding Growth

One of our marketing sites is "Three Steps to Retire at Any Age".  This is a pretty bold and provocative title.  The three steps outline a pragmatic "system" that can be followed and combines a progressive rationale from simple to more complex. In the beginning, little is required except to commit and get going.  This means developing a few simple resources that enable people to get to know you (a simple "About Me" site and how to set up a couple of Gmail accounts that are used in different ways).  Then, it is just a matter of exposing people to any of our Marketing Sites that are specifically focused on the people we target. At the end of the day, we engage in what we do to create income.  Our model leverages both money and people (or, people and their money) for each others' benefit.  We are inter-dependent.  We rely on each other and pool resources by choosing vehicles to participate with.  These vehicles provide a structure that is co...

People You Know is Phase Two: Trust Me On This One

Most people know the difference between warm market (people you know) and cold market (people you don't know) in identifying a marketing strategy at the initial stages of building a business. Talking to people you know (your friends, family, and personal network) about something you have never done before and have no track record with presents "issues".  If your credibility is important to you, our experience dictates that "proof" that something is working is significantly preferable to sharing a hope, dream or goal about something's potential - which you have not yet fulfilled. In addition, once you "burn through" your warm market, then what?  Necessarily, you need to learn the skills and techniques to market to people you don't know.  This is the long-term-play.  Therefore, acquiring these skills and having the ability to model the daily practices necessary to appeal to cold market prospects is the practical and common sense thing to do. ...

Intelligent Application of Specialized Knowledge

There is a lot of "noise" in the home business industry.  It leaves people wondering what is real, and who to trust.  It is all warranted. In evaluating a path to the creation of a reliable and stable income, you need to start with an assessment of the individual components that make up (what is hopefully) an integrated whole.  At the end of the day, it has to make sense to you and you need to have confidence that it will make sense to others. Our system/process is smart and backed by rational judgments of the best way(s) to progress in building a home business.  It is extensive and intensive and requires a commitment of time and effort.  In our Learning Community environment, our "job" is to learn Specialized Knowledge (tools, skills, and strategies) and then teach others to Intelligently Apply what we collectively come to "know". There are many credible vehicles for people to use to make a side income that can morph into a full-time income.  Ou...

Moral Health and Doing Things Right

It is really easy to say or claim anything.  This goes back to the idea of actions speaking louder than words.  If this is the case, then how do you know 1) that what you evaluate, and; 2) then choose to become involved with - has merit and conforms to "all that is good"? The idea of "moral health" speaks to this.  It is a representation of a line in the sand.  It is a proclamation that doing something right - matters.  This includes when we are in the business of helping people make money, that we understand and take seriously that peoples' lives matter.  It encompasses the fundamental decency of not leading anyone down a path that leads to nowhere in the pursuit of a quick buck. It holds true to the idea that we are attempting to build something that has permanence and in doing so will provide security to families - and in many cases have implications regarding altering the legacy of families for generations to come. However, when we state that what...
