Why I passed on a "Golden Opportunity

Something occurred to me yesterday when I received an email from a friend re his new online business. he didn't mention Customers!

You see just a couple of weeks ago, when he asked me "What are you doing?" and "how's it all going?” The timing was such I decided to share my latest results.....as you do!

Of course you can guess what I received - an invitation to look at his new home business ! So I did, after all, He’s a much-respected friend and I value his commentary on such things.

Now without going into detail too much it seems to be a new "Gold Coin" program. The core attribute of the business being you buy gold coins and save them. You also recruit / refer others and go about building a home business upon Gold coins - cost per coin? Around $700 presently.

But wait a minute I thought, we're in a recession and its going to get worse - so it could make good sense. Didn't I hear that the price of Gold was going down recently? Of course, it's "bound to go back up"

Then I thought some more,” What about those MLM stats I recall from all the due diligence we always talk about when assessing such opportunities? Didn't I recall a figure something like," The average network marketer recruits 2.4 people in their lifetime of their business"! I did the numbers and I wasn't impressed.

You see my friend has (I think) overlooked a key factor which is central to the success I enjoy in the opportunity which I presented to him. Is this: BUY CUSTOMERS! Plain and simple!

Here's the secret. Can you imagine for one minute your Down line’s Gold coins talking to and referring other Gold Coins? I know that sound silly but think about it. The real power in network marketing comes from the power of referral - not the perceived value of the product.

Who amongst you would not want to have CUSTOMERS who buy and buy again and again?

Will those buying Gold Coins at $700 buy again and again? Sure, some will. However, I also remember some advice I received from a Chinese girlfriend. She said, “When the Chinese want to eat they look for a restaurant where lots of people go. They look for the 'path that others beat their door '- for that means the food must be good and of reasonable price to attract the majority of people".

So what's all this got to do with the price of Fish? Nothing- but most home businesses depend on having traffic, and 'the numbers' to sustain it.

Again I thought, “How much food could the average person BUY for $700 these days?" Answer - quite a bit – but even the price of food is going up at an alarming rate.

Question: " How many Gold coins at $700 each do you think the millions of people who've just lost their job and who’ve been living close to the 'bread line' for years will BUY?" Question:" How about you?" Have you ever lost YOUR job? Have you ever faced a recession before? I'm 66 and consider myself to be lucky that I haven't really seen a recession like the 1930's - but people say we're in for one NOW! So what to do?

Well here are my thoughts.

Ten years ago I lost everything - during a minor recession - it was 1997 - the Korean Monetary crisis. I had 'huge debt to carry and overcome.

What I did was SOME DEEP THINKING!

It went something like this..........

I haven’t got any income or savings and I haven't got this week's rent...
I can't afford to eat like I used to - must cut back....
However, I must maintain my health and fitness so I can compete for work, to earn money, to survive!

What did I do? I lived off my credit card and bought the best nutritional supplements I could buy, recommended them to others so I could earn income. I joined the local swimming pool and walked there every day to swim 1000 metres, refresh myself, relax for a few moments each day and reflect upon my progress. It was very slow - but it worked!

After ten years I paid off my debt by learning to manage debt effectively. So much so, I am now again in debt but this time I am financing a business in which I BUY CUSTOMERS - who BUY PRODUCT – for THEIR health!!

The difference between this business and the earlier one? I am making money and I am doing so in ever-increasing amounts. The company markets to, and finds the customers and acquires them - through a MAP process (Media Acquired Program). I and my Ultimate Team partner with them and buy the customers in the process. The business is awesome! For that reason alone (and there are more) I recommend you look at it with me...
