There are many reasons why a person would want to build their own online business from home. It can be anything from simply needing or wanting a little more income to wanting to work from home. I met people who saw the huge potential and just wanted to get rich! The simplicity of working from home and being with my loved ones all day, every day is what attracted me. No more changes, no more bosses, no more rat races! One of the most beautiful things is justice, freedom. The ability to come and go as you please. Be your own boss. But everyone has their own needs and wants. And that is what everyone needs to clearly define for himself. But the truth is that a profitable online business can satisfy almost any need or desire.
We could share for hours the benefits of having a home-based online marketing business. There is a key element that is often overlooked that I would like to mention today. And that is; the power of duplication. And I know what you’re thinking; what is that!? Let me explain. J Paul Getty once said, “I’d rather do one percent of a hundred people’s efforts than one hundred percent of one person’s efforts.” If you work at a job, you depend on the income of only one person, you! What happens when you get sick or hurt? That’s right, your income stops! The same if you get fired, fired or quit. Yes, your income stops. Let’s imagine that we could really harvest the efforts of a hundred people. If one gets sick, he quits, we still have the efforts of the other ninety-nine! That is the power of duplication! And that is exactly the principle of online marketing. That’s what happens when you involve others in your online home business. It’s not just your efforts anymore.
I know what you’re thinking. “Man, it looks like I’m using people!” Let’s examine that thought. First you give the other person the opportunity to start and own their own business. And I expect you to be honest and ethical and help and empower them. And you are there for them every step of the way. You help them develop their business to the point where they can run it themselves and are making a lot of money. They make a lot of money and for your efforts you get only a little. It really looks like you were used! But that’s how this industry works. You help someone else to earn a lot and you get little. But the real key is; if you help enough people to make money, you will make a lot of money! That is the power of duplication!
Another beautiful aspect of this industry is that you have the privilege of training people to be leaders. A good and honest leader will always be looking for an opportunity to train other leaders. Only a dictator retains knowledge. He will always notice that the top leaders in this industry pass on their knowledge. They are always helping others climb the flights of the ladder of success. The mark of a true leader is when he has empowered others to go out and do the same! That’s true duplication, when you’ve trained someone else to go and do the same thing.
The rewards are not just monetary. When you can train someone who can train someone else to start a business, get out of debt, create a better life for their family, what a feeling! What a sense of pride! I believe that with that ability, we can change the world. All we have to do is look for leaders and be willing to give of ourselves to help change someone else’s life. And then teach them to do the same. How many of you saw the movie Pay it Forward? It is so. That is the power of duplication.
