Residual Income Or "walk Away Income" Are Terms Used By Many People Working Mlm Businesses. Thes

Residual

Income is an often used term used when talking about Network

Marketing or MLM. This is used as a way of

explaining how someone can build up a team of people

that will pay them residually over time much like an author or

recording artist. I don't believe true "Walk Away Income" exists

in regards to MLM and here is why.

This is a touchy subject amongst some groups, but

I want to share my opinion regarding it. I have been

working full time in the work at home

industry for 10+ years. Some of that time has been spent

in MLM where the

idea of working 3-5 years and

creating a walk away royalty income is

promoted and sold. I have been very

fortunate to have some amazing success

in that field, working in that type of

compensation model for 7 of my 10 years. During that

time frame I've had enough time to see trends and see

that this promotion of walk away income doesn't

exist.

During that time I've met many top earners who you would think

had achieved the mythical walk away income, but guess what...?

They are still working today, some in their 2nd or 3rd company

since I've known them! So where is the walk away income? I say

it doesn't exist. I have known reps who have had 100's of

thousands of distributors on their teams at one time and now they

are rebuilding and doing it all over again still promoting walk

away income. It makes me want to scream! They can't see that

99.9% of the people can't do what they do and they can't even

achieve the mythical income.

There are many reasons why I feel this way and all are based on

real life examples. One is companies change. I don't think

companies like paying a million dollars a year to a

someone sitting on a beach somewhere not doing anything

to grow the company, so they change the compensation

plan to include requirements to make these people "work", hence no

"walk away". The company may go out of business or get sold, the

product may have issues with a regulatory agency and

recruits get scared and your team

dwindles. One of your top members

gets a transfer bonus to come over to

a new business and takes all of your

team with them, then what? No walk away income and you

are beginning over.

Not only are these real life examples, but they all happened to

us!

So here is my question to you... If there isn't

true walk away residual income, why not work in a

model that allows you to

generate the most money in the shortest

amount of time? Then you can take that money and invest

it in passive investment vehicles like Real

Estate or other investment vehicles that throw off

passive residual income. The word "passive" is the key

word here.

I ask many prospects this question and most of the time I

hear "but this one is for real" or "this one is different". I

heard this recently from a friend and very talented

marketerleader. It was early

January and he had "found it", but

just 2 weeks later a package arrived in the

mail from a new company he was now building

not even 2 months later!

So I say - Do it NOW, Do it BIG, Don't believe the myth!
