Recession-proof Jobs Article at USA Today

Here is an article that was passed on to me about how people are using direct sales to get them through the recession. Whether supplementing their current income, replacing income from a lost job, or just staying home with the kids to cut down on day care expenses, network marketing is giving people an alternative to the standard 9-to-5 job.

Here is a portion of the article:



Direct sales (like Avon, Mary Kay) offer recession-proof jobs

By Charisse Jones, USA TODAY

Not long ago, Craig Lapp made his living driving a truck that helped carve Southern California's soil into new developments. But then housing sales slumped, and in November 2007 Lapp's construction company let him go.

While he searched for another job, Lapp began working alongside his wife, Lynne, in a business based in their Temecula home, selling nutritional supplements made by the direct-sales company Isagenix. Nearly two years later and with no construction job in sight, Lapp says a one-time sideline has become the couple's bread and butter.

"It's paying our mortgage, our car payments … putting food on the table," says Lapp, 55, who adds that he and his wife are earning a six-figure income. "It was our 'Plan B' that turned into our 'Plan A.' "

Direct-sales businesses that rely on home-based representatives to peddle their wares are seeing their sales forces rapidly expand as the nation's unemployment rate soars to nearly 9% and those who lost jobs and nest eggs look for new ways to make money....

Why MLM? Tremendous tax savings!

Are you interested in trying network marketing?

Are you struggling in your existing network marketing business because prospects have no money?

Well, tonight's webinar will tell you exactly how a home based business will help you SAVE your hard-earned money ON TOP of the residual income you earn in a home-based business!

The webinar is put on by Ron Mueller's Home Business Tax Savings, Inc., and the topic is titled

"How YOU Can THRIVE While Helping Others to Survive"

Ron is a speaker and business success coach as well as the author of the book "It's How Much You Keep That Counts"

Here is the invitation letter I received yesterday, explaining what will be discussed tonight:

Chris,

Some 500 people were on last night's webinar as
I described a powerful approach to making a lot of
money, while helping people who need a home-

based business the most - the ones who are broke.

The call got rave reviews and I am grateful to have
received dozens and dozens of emails thanking me
for holding that call.

But I ALSO got a TON of emails from people

who tried to be on the call, but could only
get a busy signal. Ugh!

I AM SO SORRY!!! But I'll make it up to you...

I WILL CONDUCT THAT SAME CALL
ONE MORE TIME - THIS THURSDAY

TITLE:
"How YOU Can THRIVE while helping Others to Survive"

DATE:

This coming Thursday, December 4, 2008

TIME:

6:00 p.m. Pacific / 9:00 p.m. Eastern

FEE:

Xero - Nothing - Nada - You're my guest!

TO REGISTER:

IF YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THIS
EMAIL IS ALL ABOUT ...

If you missed the announcement last week,
here it is again:

If your business is network marketing, and if you have
prospects telling you they can't sign up because (a)
they're broke, or (b) they are afraid to spend the
money they do have "in case there is an emergency"

3-way them onto Thursday night's call, let me
slam-dunk them into your business.

I will not promote or recommend - or even mention -
ANY specific company or ANY category. I'll simply
(but powerfully) show them how they can get Uncle Sam

to foot the bill, not only for their sign-up costs, but also

for ALL of their ongoing monthly operating expenses.

After hearing what I will present, even a person

who doesn't have a dime to his name, will have a

SOLUTION to the dilemma of wanting to start

a home-based business, but not able to afford

to start or run one.

At the end of this presentation, I will encourage them
to get back with the person who invited them onto
this call, to learn more about a business ideally suited
to taking advantage of all of these tax breaks, while, at
the same time, earning an above average income.

FINALLY, you NOW have a way to help the people
who need a home business the most - the ones
who can't afford to start one.

I'll show YOU how to THRIVE while you are helping
Others to Survive.

Get your toughest prospects onto this webinar!

Helping THOUSANDS to SAVE a BUNDLE!!!

Mike Healy's Power of One Presentation

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT....

by Mike Healy

As most of you know, I began my Xango business with nothing but the desire to make some more money for my family.

One of the GREATEST things to impact my business was when I came up with the "Power Of One" presentation.

This is the presentation that I used and still use in ALL of my meetings, whether in a group or 1-on-1.

It basically goes like this...

12 Months

1 - 1
2 - 2
3 - 4
4 - 8
5 - 16
6 - 32
x $100
x 5%= $150


7-64
8-128
9-256
10-512
11-1,024
12-2,048
x $100
x 5% = $10,000

Here's the concept and the power behind it if you are not familiar with it.

Everyone wants to make money.

But most people don't have a PLAN to make more money.

By showing someone that if they ONLY sponsored JUST 1 person per month and work with that person to do the same, they could potentially create a six-figure income. (Remember- people will only join you if they believe they can do what you just did during your presentation to get them in)

Most everyone that sees this presentation will join because....

They BELIEVE they could get 1 person per month and they BELIEVE that it's not a "get rich quick" program.

From 7-20-2004 to 7-20-2005 I had an increase in volume just over the numbers above. And 4 years later I am still enjoying the benefits of that "push".

It was not because of how I "structured". It was because I worked my butt off !

The point is, if you are not keeping it simple, you will never build a solid business.

It' just a matter of Faith, Work and Patience.

Sorry but there are no "Short cuts" to success.

It isn't whether you structure this way or that, it's all about being CONSISTENT on a DAILY basis.

Here is a VIDEO of a conference call I did a few years back being interviewed by Aaron Rashkin. It's less than 5 minutes long but I think you will understand the true power of it.

Just think about what can happen if the "12 month numbers" include Singles, 3sixty5, Goodness Meal packs, Regular cases and Glimpse!

With all of the great things that we have to offer, the opportunity is better than ever!

Enjoy!

Mike Healy

The site is just getting started, but there is a lot of great information there.

ABC News Reviews Home-based Business Opportunities

This message was forwarded by Sandi and Ed Cohen who are 500K Premiers and legends in the world of Xango. The message is as follows:

Thanks to Rod Cook, one of the founders of the Distributor Rights Association (DRA…www.mlm-dra.org) for passing this along…

http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=3628738

Even ABC News coverage understands the value of a home based business. Those who do not understand, obviously need to be educated. Some will never understand and they will have to settle working at their job or profession forever with little or no hope of time or financial freedom!!

40,000 people a week join a home based business!!

If you have determnination, drive, perserverance, are coachable and have a dream, you can achieve your goals.

Do you have these?
