How Soon Can I Earn $10k a Month?

It's a popular question, and one on the minds of about every person who wants to get into an opportunity. But also notice that I said "get into an opportunity" rather than "start a home business".

There is a difference; let me explain.

Network marketing sure does have its fair share of hype. Headlines scream "Earn $5,000/month within 4 months!" or "You too can earn $10,000/month just working 1 hour a week". Just reading the ads can make your head spin, not to mention looking at comp plans.

The difference between "getting into an opportunity" and "starting a home-based business" is one is slanted towards a get-rich-quick mindset and the other has an eye towards the long haul. When tough times come (and they will) the GRQ seeker tends to jump ship. The businessperson will get themselves up, dust themselves off and keep working at building their business.

How fast you earn your $5k, $10k or more per month doesn't have anything to do with the plan. It has to do with you. How much work are you willing to put into your business? One or two hours a week you say? Better keep your day job because it will be quite some time, if ever, before you make it to $10k/month.

Yes, what most of us consider huge sums of money per month are completely possible with network marketing -- that's one of the amazing things about the business! You don't need to go to college or spend years training to learn how to do it, either. And most network marketing plans have low (under $500) start-up costs (heck, some are less than $100).

What you do need, after you've picked your plan, is to commit to it. Learn all you can as fast as you can, then put that knowledge to work ASAP. Remember, all the knowledge in the world won't help you if you aren't willing to put it into practice.

Work your business. The people who earn their large paychecks faster are the ones who spend time with it. These are the people who generate the leads, write the ads, call the people and send the personal emails or notes.

Can't find 5 hours a week to devote to your business, hmmm? So, how much TV or DVDs do you watch a week? Bet it's more than 5 hours' worth. The point being that if you are serious about your business you will find the time somehow.

Take the first steps and you too may be on the road to $10k or more a month. It's your business; work it wisely.
