NETWORKING- NOT PERFECT BUT A BETTER BUSINES MODEL
Life is not about ‘making a
living’; its about ‘quality of the life we live’. The earlier one wakes up to be
in charge of his life and the earlier one realizes that the employee mindset is
far from being normal, the better. Yunus Muhammad said “All people are
entrepreneurs, but many do not have the opportunity to find out”. Why? We are
brought up to solely rely on Education. But permit me to go down history lane,
Long before the Victorian system of education, people were entrepreneurs. This
is not an attempt to condemn the concept of employment or education. Absolute
No! But on the contrary, Education is expected to be the black-box where
deductive and innovative ideas are concocted and explored to improve humanity. One is earning salary does not mean you can’t
earn more. But today, an average employee is a debtor and has a very high
chance of dying miserably. If you think this is an exaggeration, ask an average
pensioner? He/she barely gets the peanuts deserved after 35 years of
meritorious service. Or better still ask an employee? He/she is indebted
directly or indirectly especially if he/she depends solely on salary. Mind you,
its cuts across all strata of employees irrespective of their pay because, the
higher the pay, the higher the lifestyle, the higher the persons to help spent
it. Show me one employee living larger than his income and devoid of debt, and
then I will show you a thief/criminal/financial fraudster/ bribe collector who
do not depend on his genuine income. Mind you, there are exceptions to those
who are engaged in businesses and other genuine enterprises. Sorry, I do not
meant to be that harsh; man must survive but it is the hard truth.
These times we find ourselves
might be very bad economically but for entrepreneurs who are open-minded, it is
a time to be creative and innovative. It is a time to do something different. A
time to increase/have more than one source of income. You can take charge of your future only when
you take charge of your income source. To do that, you need your own business.
Networking is a personal business where you build people by adding value
through several products and services offered by the parent networking company.
There are several products and services that needed to be promoted to people
who actually need them. And instead of these companies going to the media, they
would rather choose Networking because it is a grass-root model, a
customer-to-customer advertisement. An in place of paying for advert and
promotions, these customers are being paid.
By implication, if an
entrepreneur key into this business model, he/she would enjoy all the benefit
of owning a physical business model without the associated risk such as
recurrent expenditures. More so, there is no limitation to your earnings
provided you are working towards it (Performance is the key). So if now or in
the nearest future, your employer would pay you a constant peanut just for you
to meet up with a particular performance index; don’t you think its better you
work for yourself, in your own pace, at your leisure time and not receive
peanuts as salary. The future you want, you create consciously or unconsciously.
I would rather have you create a solid future consciously now.
