A Recession Proof Business Model

Did you see yourself here, in your current situation 3 years ago, a year ago? And what about a year from now? Is your situation going to improve? Would you be pleasantly surprised if it just didn’t get any worse? Are you willing to settle for that? OR have you reached the point where you’ve just had enough and you know both you and your family deserve more security and a brighter future than your current situation and the economy provides?

There is enough “pain” out there to cause any rational, intelligent, responsible person to consider there might be an alternative. And you’re right, there is.

Eventually, while searching for a recession proof business opportunity you will come to the same conclusion Robert Kiyosaki purports in his book, “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” where he talks about quadrants of employee, self employed, business owner and investor.  Or Trump who recently started his own network marketing opportunity or Warren Buffet who has interests in 3 direct sales companies or any number of other prominent financially successful people who advocate for Network Marketing and direct sales, which leverages your time and effort and vaults you into that Business Owner and Investor category where your business is making money for you even when you are not actively working it.  In the industry, it’s known as residual and/or passive income and for most it represents personal and financial freedom.

You will learn through your own research that:

You will reach a point in your due diligence process where you will conclude that it makes the most sense to do the work fewer rather than more times. You’ll realize, like those in a select group of leading top tier opportunities, that it takes pretty much the same amount of work to make a sale or bring someone on board and the real difference is in the sustainability of the opportunity.   And an organization that is growing fast, is excited, is seeing results and is quickly profitable is much easier to manage, people don’t leave the week after they get started and something unique to a limited few network marketing companies, a realistic two year or less exit strategy, because after all, you don’t really want to be building your business forever, do you?

Eventually your DD will lead you up the direct sales food chain until you encounter a handful of the very best opportunities. These are the best of the best recession proof business opportunities and fall into two distinct categories, those with a high price point or entry point, >$1000 and above and though these operate on the principle of Get Paid Today (GPT) or Get Paid Now (GPN), they have a prohibitively high price point and are not as readily attainable in today’s economy.

And in  fact, market resistance is substantial  for these opportunities and  many people are opting for the second category of opportunities with a much lower entry point <$400 with high or higher upside potential  and are basing their choice on a combined analysis of compensation plan, model, marketing system and products.  From amongst the literally thousands of opportunities out there, there are but a few that stand out as the best of the best.

Their products are generally in the categories of travel, ala Diamond Holiday Travel (DHT) Travel Ventures International (TVI), Coastal Vacations,  Global Resorts Network (GRN); financial management like Carbon Copy Pro and Wealth Masters; or personal development and prosperity, such as Polaris (fka Liberty League International) and LifePath Unlimited (LPU), or a companies like LGN Prosperity (LGN) and Club Sea Breeze (CSB), which leverage multiple major markets. This actually makes Due Diligence 101 a bit less complicated since you can focus an important part of your research into the relative stability, growth potential and market of each one of these industries.   After all, determining the quality of the products within their market, how well they are positioned in their market and how that market is trending are critical in your analysis and due diligence process.

Also critical is evaluating the company’s compensation plan, whether or not it is sustainable over the long term, is there is a bona fide exit strategy, and what kind of support are you going to get? These are vital areas you need to research.

Taking those companies with >>$1000 price points eliminates  Coastal Vacations, Global Resorts Network,  Carbon Copy Pro/Wealth Masters, Polaris, and Life Path Unlimited.  Though these are, for the most part, solid companies with established track records, good support systems, lucrative compensation plans, etc.  The current market trend is in much lower entry or price point with equally or more lucrative compensation plans.  It’s just a tough sell in today’s economy, asking people to come out of pocket for $1000 and more.

Of those that remain, CSB, DHT, LGN and TVI,  each is individually profiled in Whatcha Usin, and clearly two, Club Sea Breeze (CSB) and LGN-Prosperity (LGN) emerge as the front-runners.  The current market reality is this, for these companies, the timing is perfect, the products are “Best in Class”, the system, training and support are unparalleled and people from incredibly diverse personal, financial, educational, professional, and other backgrounds are currently succeeding, HUGE!  They are proving to be, truly recession proof business opportunities.  The real question isn’t even are you that person, too many different people are succeeding. What it boils down to is your decision to finally be free.

Whatever you decide to do on behalf of yourself, your family and their future, I wish you success! Udachi! It’s Russian for “Good Luck”!
