Through network marketing, I have learned the difference between earning a living, and building a fortune. I have learned the difference between working for money and having money work for you.

The network marketing business model gives the average person the opportunity to have all the advantages of big business.

Not small business, big business.

If you have a small business, you have a job. You might be your own boss, but you still have a job. I've been there, I know. You do all the work; you have to be there all the time.

The key to big business success, is to formulate a business model that makes money, then duplicate it!

Picture your buddy, Jim Bob, opening up a restaurant. He will be there all the time. No one wants his employees to cook their hushpuppies or biscuits, they want Jim Bob to make them. He will work like a dog for a couple of years, then go out of business. It happens all the time.

Now, picture Truett Cathy, Dave Thomas, or Ray Kroc. They opened restaurants, developed a successful plan, and sold the opportunity to others. They did not cook every burger or chicken sandwich in every restaurant. They sold the opportunity to cook burgers to others, and then took a small percent of the profits, for the work they did developing the opportunity.

This duplication is the beauty of network marketing. You can make some money up front, which is good, but you also earn a residual income every time someone in your downline makes a purchase.

Trading time for money is how most people earn a living. Earning residual income, the ability to make money when you aren't working, through duplication, is the key to creating wealth, and building a fortune.
