If I woke up tomorrow and found that somehow there was a billion dollars at my disposal, my first thoughts would be where to invest it?. Maybe in my next life I will be a venture capitalist. I'd probably buy into start-up companies, buy land to rival 'who owns Kenya', do real estate development, and yes I love logistics...get into the big boys club; own an airline. Well, that's if the money would be enough, is it ever?
Am simply saying I like risks. They've got me in trouble, and put my finances at jeopardy once or twice but am not a saver kinda guy. Would rather invest in stocks and get burned than buy a long-term government bond whose return is almost ludicrous. No offence, just a personal preserve. The most bogus is just keeping money idle in the bank. As far as I know, the rich get richer using other people's money (OPM). The savers money. What am learning with every wake is to take calculated risks. I believe this is an important management principle, and you cannot manage others if you have no control of yourself ; your finances; your relationships.
I have heard that the millenials disease is entitlement. We feel like the world owes us favours. This makes us comfortable and minimal on risks. And that's why am finding it hard to convince peers to join me in my part-time business. Real hard. Networking, we agree is the way of business. How then don't we see that network marketing is the future of major business. Am really looking forward to seeing a brave Kenyan start marketing their products through Network Marketing. Asian tigers have grasped the opportunity and are running away with it. Back to the age groups, younger millenials(25 and below) are embracing this with both hands. To be honest, in the few months here I've noticed there is no other age group that is as open and aggressive. These guys understand the power of networks. They''re always on social media, and now can make money out of it. Word of caution to my age-mates: as we settle into the rat-race, these guys will be leapfrogging us to financial security. We say, 'these are pyramid schemes', 'only those who start them make money', 'the sell fake products' and all other sorts of excuses, just because we love our comfort. We wanna just do our jobs, drive home in our loan cars and slump on the sofa to watch TV for 3-4 hours.
This is the sure way to financial quagmire. Look, am no expert. It's not like i've made it. I just am changing my notion and embracing new risks. At the rate of inflation, we may be needed to work two jobs just to provide our kids with a good life. Why not make network marketing your side hustle? Spending just 2-3 hours on your laptop/ smartphone to do business. In many of these organizations, all you need to do is invite prospects. The orientation is done by professionals. But the money comes back to you.
Am not planning to be in the same financial state five years from now, so I blow out all the negative vibe about network marketing and embrace the opportunity as if I was born in 1996.
Will you be my partner?
