Network Marketing – When to Quit that J O B

Maybe you’ve had someone who joined a Network Marketing business opportunity who quit their job after two months in the business.    What a great start, huh?  Walked away from the JOB so quickly… Wouldn’t you want that too?   

There’s  a sad side to this story though. 

The income earned in those two months came strictly from signing people up (the front end of the plan) not from the recurring monthly residual income (the back end of the plan).   Imagine his shock when in the third month, no one wanted to join so there was no income coming in.  Panic Time!!!

My friend went to see if he could get his job back, but ……… he had already been replaced.

So, "When Can I Quit my JOB"  is a GREAT question. 

Here’s what the master, Tom "Big Al" Schreiter has to say about that.

One of the biggest reasons people join network marketing is because they hate their jobs.

Their goal is to earn enough money so they can afford to leave their present employment. Will that give them financial security? Probably not.

For example, let’s say that John earns $2,500 a month. That $2,500 a month pays the expenses for John and his family. While he is building his networking business, his part-time checks of $1,000 per month represent extra income that is not required to cover their personal overhead.

It’s unencumbered money. That extra $1,000 a month could buy trips, nice cars, fun times, pay off debts, or could be saved for retirement or invested for financial security. Life is good with extra cash to spend as you wish.

But what happens when John’s network marketing check reaches $2,500 a month?

He quits his job. Now John’s $2,500 a month network marketing check pays the expenses for John and his family. There is no extra cash or fun money. The budget is tight. John sweats his sales volume every month hoping his check won’t drop to $2,300.

See the difference?

The successful networkers I know keep their job and invest their network marketing check. After a few years they are totally financially independent because of their investments.

Then, they quit their job. Their investments pay the monthly expenses while their networking checks are spent on vacations and other fun activities.

Something to consider.

Great and wise words…. don’t you think?
