Tick tick, time is ticking away. Doesn’t it seem just like it was yesterday, as we look back in time and see a younger you, your family, kids, and grand kids. Wow! It just seems to fly by so fast.

We all have the same amount of time. 24 hours in a day and 365 days a year. How many years will we live…well that’s not up for me or you to say, but even if we do take real good care of ourselves and eat right, and exercise, we are still just a tick of the clock away from entering through that door of death, and we will all walk through it one day, we just don’t know when.

With time at a premium, and the old phrase, “Time is money” – what’s the value you put on your clock of life?

I gave thirty-five years of my life to Ford Motor Company, in exchange for money. Some was given to me in straight forward green paper bills, that I exchanged for the necessities of life, and some of my time was exchanged for dental, vision, and healthcare benefits.

I thought it was a good exchange, and some would argue, even today, that I got paid way to much for my time. I guess I say the same thing about athletes and CEO’s of companies, that they get way to much money in exchange for their time, but we pay it anyways.

I think of all the mom’s out their, who are way under paid if you ask me, what would their time be valued in the open market? What would someone pay for their time and expertise in raising other’s children. Well, just check out what a working mom pays for someone to watch their kids, while they are exchanging their time for money, at their places of employment.

It can cost anywhere from 10 – 15,000 dollars a year for childcare in the US, and the price of raising a child in the US today, to age eighteen, is about 300,000 dollars. Are mom’s just a little bit underpaid today? That is the biggest under statement of the year.

What about your time? What kind of value do you put on your time? What is it worth to you? What would others be willing to pay for it?

97% of people work in the system of a 9 to 5  job. They exchange their time for money, as I did for 35 years at Ford Motor Company. I had to ask for permission to go to the bathroom, when I was going to get a vacation, (which was only four weeks a year), and I had to work the hours that they told me to work.

This system is a flawed system, as about 10% of the population in the US has figured out, because that’s the percent of the American population, that is out of work today. They are unemployed, meaning no income coming in. This system doesn’t work.

The government tried to bail this system out, but we’ve all seen the results of that.

I was introduced to a new system, and when I say new, it has been around for a long time, but it was new to me, by a friend of mine awhile back.

He had bought a gum ball machine, and that gum ball machine generated about $60 a month for him. When he had enough money, he went out and bought another gum ball machine, which cost him about $40.

After he had obtained ten gum ball machines he was generating about $600 a month. He had to put in about three hours a week to maintain the machines, so he was exchanging three hours of his time for $600. That’s $200 an hour. How much do you get for your time at your job?

If he had 100 gum ball machines generating $60 a month income, that’s $6000 a month. Let’s say it took him ten hours a week to main this many gum ball machines…that’s $600 an hour for his time. Not even a doctor or psychologist makes that kind of exchange for their time, and they had to go to school for ten years or more, and they are probably still paying those student loans off.

Now if one of the gum ball machines breaks or is out of commission for a while, he still has income coming in on all the rest. His lifestyle doesn’t change at all, because he has multiple streams of income working for him through the other gum ball machines, and that my friends, is what network marketing is all about.

In the old system, when you lose your one source of income, it’s all over. You lose everything. Unfortunately many people are experiencing that today in our country.

Doesn’t have to be that way for you. You can change systems today.

Now I know change is never an easy thing to do. We like our comfort and our easy chairs, but to make things better for the future, you have to climb out of the box of comfort today, so you can live the life of ease and comfort tomorrow, not just for you but for your entire family as well.

Robert Kiyosaki, famed author of the Rich Dad, Poor Dad book series, has two books, that I would highly recommend for you to get and read today.

The first one is called, “The Business of The 21st Century” In this book Robert Kiyosaki talks about how he believes that the network marketing industry affords the best change for anyone to get out of the old system, by starting their own business, through the vehicle of network marketing. He calls it the business of the 21st century. Excellent book.

The next one is called, “Cashflow Quadrant”. In this one Robert talks about the four different quadrants of cashflow and where we all fit in. Some of what I just explained with the story of my friend. Getting into the right quadrant is going to make the biggest change in your life. This is also a   must read.

 

 

 

To get either one of these books just click your mouse on the picture of the book  you wish to have. I would definitely recommend both of them.

With these choices available to you, what would you rather do with your time, exchange it for a paycheck from a 9 to 5  job, or start buying gum ball machines?

Well maybe gum ball machines are not for you, but the network marketing industry has around 5000 companies that market an array of products for you to choose from.

Mine happens to be gold and silver. If your interested in starting your own gold and silver business and would like to work with me, please click on the words, “gold and silver“.

Your time is very valuable, and I think you’re worth it. Start getting paid what you deserve. Your time clock is ticking away.
