How Do Some People Keep Getting Paid?
When my brother was a teenager, he owned a few gumball machines.
He placed them in laundromats around town.
Every few weeks, he would stop by.
Collect the quarters.
Refill the machines.
Leave.
The machines kept working.
Even after he went home.
Why?
The same thing happens in other places too.
A landlord collects rent.
An author earns royalties from a book.
A songwriter gets paid when someone plays their song.
A business owner earns money while employees are working.
Different people.
Different businesses.
Same idea.
Money keeps coming in after the work is done.
How is that possible?
They own something.
Rental houses.
Songs.
Books.
Businesses.
An asset produces value.
Some assets take a lot of money.
Some take years of knowledge.
Some require special talent.
Most people never write a hit song.
Most people never buy an apartment complex.
Most people never build a large company.
So what options are left for the average person?
What about network marketing?
Some people love it.
Some people hate it.
Most people have an opinion.
Few understand how it works.
Does that mean everyone should do it?
No.
Some people like real estate.
Others prefer investing.
Some want a traditional business.
Some would rather have a career.
Those are all valid choices.
Network marketing is not for everyone.
It's not easy money.
It's not a shortcut.
Like any business, you have to learn new skills and think differently.
