Where will you be in 2016?

Is there a economic storm looming on the horizon. A few years ago Robert Kiyosaki wrote a book titled “Rich Dad’s Prophecy”, unlike most of Robert’s works, this one was not well received. In the book he put forth the idea that when the majority of the baby boomers hit 70 years old around 2016, they will be forced to start withdrawing all of their invested 401K money, which will cause a major drop in the stock market. All those dollars invested in stock mutual funds will be sold off to fulfill a government mandate.

Mark Yarnell the MLM Guru and author of best selling Your First Year in Network Marketing, is talking about the disappearance of the middle class because of globalization and lack of US competitiveness., in fact he has a recruiting talk called The Beach or the Soup Line.

This all fits into to my belief that if we had another great depression, it would cripple the US for good. Because during the last depression our government was not mortgaged to the hilt and could take on massive debt in the form of work programs and building project to help fuel the recovery.

So why all the doom and gloom? Hopefully to open your eyes and have you start take responsibility for your own financial future. You can not rely on corporations for you’re future anymore. Take your future in your own hands, start a business and work to security that you can control.

Network Marketing versus Affiliate Marketing

I have recently talked to an individual about his business goals. He said he was interested in starting in Affiliate Marketing, then went on to describe the company he joined, and it was actually a Network Marketing company. He was confused, so I sent him Wikopedia definitions on Network and Affiliate to help him with his confusion. I told him to me the basic difference to me is that Affiliate Marketing is a solo internet endeavor, even though your are working with the vendor of the products you market, you are on your to build your site and Adwords campaigns to drive the traffice that will make you the money in this type of business. Now Network Marketing is by it's nature a people centric business. True the Internet and technology may open the door to more prospects, but in the end to be successful in Network Marketing you have to make a person to person connection to the people you sponsor to be successful. So if you want to sit alone in front of your computer and tweek your fifty Google Adwords Ad, stick to Affiliate Marketing, but if you want to work with other people who can help you and lift you up when you are down do Network Marketing.
