How To Compare Values Of Network Marketing, Physical Health And Financial Security

Our life is shaped by our mind; we become what we think. Suffering follows an evil thought as the wheels of a cart follow the oxen that draws it. Our life is shaped by our mind; we become what we think. Joy follows a pure thought like a shadow that never leaves." Buddha

This year I experienced the dawning of a new personal affirmation. We all agree that every person deserves a new beginning whether they want better physical health or stronger financial well being. But, what do you think, before reading further, will drive people harder...a desire for health or a dream of wealth?

There are some interesting correlations between the need for physical health and the search for financial health. This new awareness is based on the struggles of MS (Multiple Sclerosis) patients. My twin brothers, in their late 40's, have had MS for the past 15 years. From strong, able-bodied farmers and millworkers, fathers and husbands, they struggle daily, determined to stay independent. They once experienced robust vitality and strength...it is now lost and they will do anything to reclaim it.

Their story for health independence (as well as for all MS patients) started with a CTV's W5 report on November 2009 about exciting breakthrough research by Dr. Zamboni, a vascular surgeon from Italy. He reported on several years of research that showed restricted veins in the necks and chests of MS patients helped to contribute to their symptoms. Constricted or blocked veins caused blood from the brain to drain improperly, potentially setting off the immune response that marks MS. Treatment consisted of balloon angioplasty to open the constrictions and improve blood flow…commonly performed for many different kinds of artery or vein problems.

The condition of narrowed veins is called CCSVI and the procedure to open them is called the LIBERATION TREATMENT. Results in health improvement have been astounding. However, the problem from mainstream Health Boards, neurologists and MS Societies is there has to be more double-blinded studies and trials before this simple procedure could be offered here…as if, somehow Italians are different from Americans and Canadians.

The result is that many patients have found whatever money necessary to travel to different countries where the procedure could be performed. Foreign clinics cost $10,000 or more versus a walk-in clinic cost of $1500 in Canada. The point is this. When people are faced with dramatic choices between health and disability, they do whatever it takes to reach a status of well-being again.

What about people who are faced with serious financial concerns? What are their choices? What steps would they take for dignity, self fulfillment, time freedom, family support and long term security?

We know the common symptoms of financial distress such as debts, mortgages, insurance, taxes, pensions, credit bills and more. But do we really know what it would feel like to be financial healthy and free? How can you miss something you never had? How many of us have enjoyed that thrill of doing what you want to do, setting your own time schedules where money is never an objection?

My sense of liberation happened ONLY with early retirement based on a pension plan and extra work at home income. It no longer makes sense to work by the hour for a one time pay check. Before that celebrated event, like so many others, I followed rules as a child, then as a student, then as a career professional and all the obligations and responsibilities that came with each stage.

It can even be said that our traditional mainstream economy wants to keep us as employees with a few benefits to keep general levels of satisfaction. It doesn't hurt to throw in reality shows with the rich and famous and Dancing with the Stars to show up our inadequacies and keep our expectations low.

But what if, mainstream economy becomes discomposed and discontent? But what if, you want better, based on personal strengths you know you have?

The home business of network marketing or MLM has always been available as an anti-dote to meager earnings and better recovery for long-term security. It is the only home business you do not have to start from scratch where the MLM company does the main organizational work such as research, product development, and advertising. Your job as a home business owner is to help market the products for which you receive residual income based on results.

It is in the marketing "prescription" or plan where this system falls apart. You can make it complicated with long lists of duties, training and side effects which experts can maintain but lay patients find overwhelming. Network marketing has never been about duplication of professional experts, but rather the leverage of a professional message. A simple 3-Steps message is non-invasive which every family can do.

Top networkers sell the "liberated" lifestyle as much as the products. Unfortunately, when the dream doesn't materialize many people disassociate with the opportunity and industry. People hunker down with broken dreams and think something will happen, the government will provide or prayers will be answered. Sometimes, they may even be talked into trying a complicated "medication" instead of a back to basics natural formula of sharing a message.

FEAR can sometimes be the prime motivator to look for new directions…fear not to get sick ..not to get broke. Fear can suck away your financial abundance if you let it. But don't wait until fear and hopelessness sets in because you can start preventative steps now. You already have all the skills you need.

Remember, the example that people with MS who believed in hope with this new treatment so much that they put everything on the line for health freedom. They were willing to spend thousands of dollars and travel thousands of miles to feel vital and normal again.

What are you willing to put on the line for financial freedom?
Here are your first two exercises to overcome any self-doubt. Finish these sentences:

1. I am a positive person worthy of success because _______
2. What would you do if you weren't afraid? If I wasn't afraid, I would ________

In summary, physical health and fitness are worthy of every effort. Financial wellness and security are worthy of every effort in a world of change and possibility. The right home business with major trends is worthy of every effort to learn, share and prosper. I cry for those MS patients, like my brothers, whose lives have been put on hold by bureaucracies who exploit their disabilities with old-fashioned drug-filled methodologies, most of which do not help. I feel sorry for people who are financially sick who do not check out, for whatever reason, this extraordinary home business program that begins with a free shopping service every family needs.

Simple common strengths and grassroots capitalism will prevail. Liberty is worthy of pursuit…"from the heart's impulse to create, to sing, to shout and walk about, to effervesce, to shine, to radiate; to reach out, to be the best you can be and celebrate freedom."
