Job vs. Business.....which do you really need?
So do you really need a job, or should you have your own business?
That's similar to what I was asking myself not too long ago. I couldn't find a job to save my life. And it's not for the lack of trying either.
If you know my story, then you know that I spent 38 years in the aviation business. My business slowed down and I started thinking that I should just get a job and close my business down. Nice plan except after sending out about 200 resume's........no job.
Then I got sick and was totally disabled for about a year......maybe a year and one or two months. So the job hunt started all over again and still.....no job. And this time it was worse because I have a large hernia left over from a messed up surgery.
LOL......you should sit in an interview and watch a prospective employer's eyes almost pop out of their head when you tell them what you used to do for a living.......and why you are looking for a desk job. And the reason is because you have a 6 inch hole in your stomach muscles. And I have to wear these elastic binders to keep my insides from popping out.
They just can't hide that look of...."there is no way we will take on that liability".
So one day I was sitting in front of my computer and I decided then and there that I was taking control over my own destiny. I was going to start a new business. I wasn't going to look for a job anymore and that was that.
Think about that......this country has about 23 million people out of work. So many people have run out of unemployment benefits and have either given up, or they are just scraping by and looking for a break. They are looking for someone to show them a new way of making a living......something that gives them some control back in their lives.
Oh yeah.....and the bonus is that they will probably out work you and make you feel like a slacker if you introduced this to them.
And so many of these people have skills that would be absolutely perfect to run a very successful business.....just like the one that My Favorite Sales Lead Software offers.
So here is the dilemma. They are out of work and feel like there is no hope anymore in this great country of opportunity.
And then there are people who look at this opportunity and pass it up because they don't know enough about it.....and they don't understand that there are MILLIONS of people that would be interested in it. And there are MILLIONS of business people who could use this software.
And I get it, I really do. If something is new and you look at it......you most likely will just pass it by. Because you just don't know enough about it. It takes vision and if you didn't see the vision.....well then you don't get the opportunity.
Well today I was sitting at my desk and I was playing with numbers. You see there are different ways to run this business and I prefer to do it in a very specific manner. And my costs are known right up front, right down to the penny. And if my conversion rate (making a sale) is only 2%.....my gain will be a minimum of 1,000% of my investment. DID YOU GET THAT NUMBER?
What business can you start with such a small investment that can yield 1,000% return. It is sick but that is the conservative number.
You see we get paid using a Traditional 1 up Compensation Plan. That means if the 2% decide to do this business.....and that is very likely because I WILL TEACH THEM what I do......then that 1,000% can quickly rise up to 2,000%. In fact....if you understand the compensation plan you will realize that the number can keep climbing without you doing anything after those initial sales and training them to do what you do.
And after I wrote down the various scenarios and stared at the numbers.....I realized that if anyone saw what I was looking at.....they would work hard at this. And if an unemployed person got a hold of this chance, they may just work at it as hard as I am starting to do right now.
Again....it's called vision. Vision is what dreams are made of and when you add passion and elbow grease to it.....it explodes!
Oh.....and if you also understand the compensation plan you would realize a trick that benefits you and perhaps someone you know that could use a break.
Let me explain and if I lose you.....it's okay. Many people don't fully grasp the power of this compensation plan right off the bat.
But anyway, if you were in this and you sponsored a friend who was unemployed or who suffered a down sizing with their career......and you helped them get started, they would be in your team on your front line. And that's the only line you get paid on. This is not multi level......it's direct sales and you get paid on one level.
So if you sold another license you could give that sale to your friend and let them sponsor the new sale. The money from the sale would come right back to you anyway......so you actually didn't give up anything. But now your friend is a qualified affiliate. Now when he or she makes their first sale.....they immediately make $300.00.
This would help them get a paycheck really fast. And now when they make their second sale.....they not only have the software for free......they now have some money to invest in lets say a direct mail campaign.
If they did that and mailed out 100 letters....letters with a link to their company website that they get for free from My Favorite Sales Leads Software ....and lets say they got a 2% conversion rate or realized sales. That would mean that they got two more people who want to do exactly what they are doing and your friend also made $600.00. Do you think that they would be happy? From the first sale to the third sale, they just made $900.00.
Imagine an unemployed person who just made $900.00 working a business that was theirs and NO ONE could lay them off or fire them.....it's theirs!!!!
And this is just the beginning and let me tell you something......that person would be thanking you big time!
Lets be honest and real about this....there is no such thing as a free walk in this life. We have to do some work.....and we need to LEARN how to do it. But this can be a very easy business, so easy that you could do this business with your wife and kids and all of you would have a blast with it.
But you have to learn some tips. And I know if I shared a couple of tips with you, those big eyes that I spoke of from my prospective employer......well you would be wearing those instead.
How do I know this? Because that's what I felt like today when I was playing with cost / sales numbers and conversion rates.
And now you are probably saying..." well you are just dreaming big and you are not looking at both sides of the equation". Ahhhh.....no! I worked in aviation almost my whole life and we always plan for the worst and hope for the best. And I know down to the very last penny what my risk is.
In addition.......I know something about my targeted prospects that I bet you didn't think of. And if you knew what I knew.....we would be collaborating on a new eBusiness right now :)
So.......if you know someone who has had a downsizing in their career or is now unemployed, maybe you should take a good look at this and perhaps help that person....get a business of their own and forget that job!
And then they may say something like a couple of characters did in that old movie...."Blazing Saddles." "Jobs.....jobs....we don't need no stinkin' jobs."
And as always......I wish you the very best!!!! And take a look at My Favorite Sales Leads Software !
