Put more cash into your pocket

One of my favorite past-times is to go to the library with my daughter.  We do this a couple times a month usually.  While on one of our jaunts I happened to find "Put more CASH in your Pocket" by Loral Langemeier on the new release section.

I primarily read business education & success motivation books.  This genre has always facinated me, even before I became an entrepreneur & needed to keep up to date.  I found this to be an easy & delightful read.  It's premise is "Turn what you know into Dough."  The book gives advice & ideas on how to build a buisiness out of something you may already be doing, have expertise in, or simply enjoy.

On the outset it does sound like it could be lucrative for the general public to start their own side business this way.  Being the owner of two businesses myself I can see the pitfalls that this advice could bring. 

In chapter one the author writes "My guess is that you know deep down, you have always known, that you have a bigger life inside of you, bursting to break free.  You also know that if you make your life bigger, you can have a bigger impact on your family, your friends, and this planet.  If you focus on making more money, new money, you can give yourself, your family, and maybe even your friends, an easier life.  And you can be an inpiration to others to do the same."

This quote struck me because this is exactly what I encourage others to consider in my networking business.  The main difference is that starting up a brand new business takes a lot of effort, and most people do not have the skills or time currently as employees to run & build it successfully.  This is why I love the opportunity of a home based business with Send Out Cards so much. 

There is a system in place, it is tried & tested, and you have the support of others.  You are not on your own trying to figure things out as you go.  The other wonderful thing about being in a network team is that when one benefits, everyone benefits.  Having recurring & residual income is something that I don't think any side business can offer.

Loral Langemeier does know her stuff, don't get me wrong.  It is just this readers hope that in the next book she touches on the validity of a networking business as an alternative to bringing in income.
