View Full Version : MSI - The New Acronym for success?

How often do you wish there were more than 24 hours in a day?

O.K. I am sure that some would feel that eight hours are plenty for the sort of work they do, but many small businesses, home based offices and sole traders feel that unless they are beavering away for sixteen hours or more the work flow is going to dry up.

Sweat, blood and tears are the hallmark of a survival and surviving business operations for many.

In today's climate desperation may color the efforts of any business struggling to make ends meet and to survive.

Surely there must be a way round this.

Luckily there is and the most successful businesses use this route all the time. It is the best and only way aart from a time shifting Superman, that anyone can make twenty four hours into forty eight, ninety six and multiples of.

What is this magic potion?

MSIs - Multiple Sources of Income.

However fascinatingly these are the statistics:

96% of people trade their time for money
3% of people invest money to earn money
1% of people multiply their time through the efforts of others by setting up multiple sources of income streams

It is this 1% that earn 96% of all the money that is earned.

Hmmm? Now that must make anyone stand up and think, would you not agree?

By creating numerous avenues of residual income, either on top of or that eventually replace the original job, anyone can double treble and so forth their present income stream.

One thing is for certain - the ability to bring more revenue into any business is exponential to the number of residual income streams.

Why sit and feel that creating the best widgets in the world is going to supply you a job and income for life?

Now if I produce great widgets, I have all the knowledge to be able to promote and market the bags that my widgets come in from my supplier to markets outside of my own use.

I also have my Google Adsense account that due to the traffic density on my web site receives a healthy monthly cheque from Mssrs Google for me doing nothing save planting ad blocks.

I also know of a good sports complex group that when I am with my colleagues and friends or writing articles that go online into the social network stream, my residual affiliate income from those that use my link and get signed up for their sports and health needs, allows me to take a weekend break with my wife in a lovely country house hotel or flit to Paris for the weekend.

I use a great little health product as well and it is so unusual that when I bring it out in the pub - it is only cigarette lighter sized - or at a social occasion people always ask me - what Is that? - and when they experience what it does they cannot get hold of a sample fast enough so it is lucky I carry a few samples in my jacket pocket. Wop! extra income and future business in the pocket.

Multiply this as many times as you wish across an eclectic field of products and services and before long you have a stream of large medium and tiddler income streams that satisfy anyone's need to enlarge their scope of residual earning.

This I would proffer is one major strand of the New Economy.

It breeds connectivity, community and a sense of shared economic enlargement. Competition is replaced by co-operation and as the transatlantic speak goes becomes a win-win situation.

I love the New Economy, any one else joining me?

You don't happen to live in Peckham and drive a yellow three wheeled van do you?

No, I do not.

I live in Glastonbury and ride my bike.

When I feel moved I use the my very carbon efficient Leer Jet parked at Bristol that runs on bullocks bits and Siberian ginseng

0-500 in under 10 secs when pressed. Never knowlingly late for those meetings

Hmmm which if you summarise it all, you are promoting/recruiting for members into an MLM and perpetuating the myth that you can join an MLM and do little or nothing and the money will just roll in........

Hmmm Garyk...see you are still buying into the old paradigms of what is what is not MLM etc....and thanks for the assumptions.

I have spent a life working at many things and sweating and toiling.

I have now understood that nothing is gotten from sweat and toil apart from sweat and toil.

Yes I do have multiple sources of income and they serve me well.

I earn hard and work less. Everything I do, I do because I love it and it is rewarding.

Whatever your views on MLM, and I have to say that many people's views are ill informed at best, I do not share them nor do I subscribe to anything that is not wholly ethical.

What I do subscribe to is making sure that I am comfortably well off so that the "Gawd, where is the next bill payment gonna come from" mentality is an old memory.

Of course we all can choose to resource our skills in any way we wish, what I believe is important is that when we do something we must have a passion and a love for it otherwise it becomes a JOB.

To your greatest success

I think what I was trying to do Jonathan is give a basic view of your offering. People might come on here and think it is something new and undiscovered because it uses new terminology and a new acrnoym. I dont really (I think) buy into paradigms, I was involved in MLM myself in the early nineties so I try and be objective about it.

The point I was trying to make is that one of MLMs biggest flaws is not the schemes themselves but the over-zealousness (is that a word?) of the distributors involved painting this picture of easily attainable residual income. Yes it *is* possible but not without the work and effort you would put into a traditional business.

Good Luck!

The MLM business model of old was a joke. Network marketing still suffers the slings and arrows of misconstrued and ignorant knowledge (if I can get away with that oxymoron)

The one person that has completely summarized and made the most salient sense in all this is, in my opinion, Ann Sieg. Her (http://diamondtree.therenegadenetworkmarketer.com/)"Renegade Network Marketer" (http://diamondtree.therenegadenetworkmarketer.com/) has to be the Bible of revolutionary thinking in this whole areana along with her "7 Great Lies" (http://diamondtree.therenegadenetworkmarketer.com/).

As in any great business the secret is in getting the interest to come to you rather than sweating to go to them.

No-one wants the cold call or the foot in the door, albeit the cyber protal.

These two books are worth having on every book shelf on or off line - go check them out (http://diamondtree.therenegadenetworkmarketer.com/)

GaryK,

Just to clear one thing - MSI is not MLM.

MSI is the preferred practice of most great millionaires and successful business operators.

Multiple Sources of Income - the problem is that a small post that proffered to enlighten those that may think their fortunes are in a one trick pony, which they may be bar the schlep, tries to engage an awareness that having many arrows in the quiver is better than being stuck up the river with a broken paddle and short on arrows.

Oh! don't ya love the mixed, conjoined metaphors. They keep me awake, you know!

BTW - did you know that the G20 is purely an acronym itself for GAS TO OXYGEN - a windy conversion that might just save the planet....http://www.ukbusinessforums.co.uk/forums/images/icons/icon7.gif

Thank for your input...
