Americans can no longer rely on corporate jobs for a secure living. “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” is one of the bestselling finance books of all time by author, Robert Kiyosaki. His newest book, “The Business of the 21st Century,” is about network marketing businesses and why now is the perfect time to take advantage of the opportunities it offers!

Recently, the Direct Selling News (April 2010) published an article where Kiyosaki talked about his newest book and how the rules have changed for American workers.

In his book, Kiyosaki makes a point that Americans cannot rely on corporate jobs for a secure living due to global competition and technology. He makes a great point about how technology reduces jobs that used to require a real person even though it can also help us be more productive.

Look around! You may have seen lots of vacant office buildings in your area and higher numbers of people getting unemployment. This is a reminder of the unemployment problem in this country.
Maybe you were laid off your job due to the drastically lowered wages from overseas competition. Maybe some of your friends or co-workers, even the ones in highly skilled positions were let go in favor of overseas workers that are hired for a fraction of the wages.

“Americans can no longer make $80 an hour because there are people in countries all over the world who are willing to work for a dollar an hour.”

Kiyosaki said his best friend’s father taught him wealth-building principles when he was a kid. “If you want to be rich, don’t get a job, don’t save money, and don’t get out of debt: learn to use money and be an entrepreneur.”

So what does Kiyosaki’s recommend that we do for business? You guessed it: network marketing! MLM is a great choice now because you can start your business for a very low cost, get up and running quickly, and can work part time.

In April 2009, I decided to start a Team Beachbody Coach network marketing business. Being an entrepreneur instead of an employee is the best feel ever! My family’s future is bright now.

If you want to transition from employee to entrepreneur, I can show you how to get started. Click here  for an explanation of the Team Beachbody Coach opportunity.

No matter what career path you choose in life or what business you are in, personal development is the key ingredient to success. Don’t skimp on this one or think that you don’t have to make time for personal development. It takes just a few moments each day and can make or break your business.

How can you fit personal development into your day?

• Read just 10 pages a day can provide you with the daily dose of motivation, power, and courage needed for you to take control of your life. If you are hovering on the edge of taking action, the constant flow of motivation and help you summon up the inner strength you need to take action towards creating the life you really want!Think about this. Ten pages a day is 300 pages a month and 3,600 pages a year. That’s 15 to 20 powerful books you’ll read over the next 12 months! That simple daily discipline, compounded over time, will result in huge positive rewards for you that go way beyond this business and will be a tremendous asset to you in building not just a successful business, but also a successful life.
• Turn car time into time well spent and build some mental muscle as you drive to and fro. it’s an easy thing to do that will produce some positive growth and won’t interfere—time-wise—with what you’ve already got going on.

With personal development, you become a better you. When it comes to Network Marketing, some people are successful and others are not. Why? What separates the successful people from the others? Personal development.

You need to invest in yourself and become a leader, using your own knowledge and skills to make that lasting impact on others. How can you possibly help others on your network marketing team succeed if you don’t know how to be a leader or have the right communication skills?

Here are a two of my favorite books to help you get started with your personal development plan:

• The Success Principles: How to Get from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be – If there’s anyone qualified to write a self-help book on success, it’s Jack Canfield, who’s worked his way from scraping by as a teacher to holding a Guinness world record for having seven books simultaneously on The New York Times® Best Sellers list. According to Jack, “All you have to do is decide what it is you want, believe you deserve it, and practice the principles in this book,” and success is yours.
• The Perfect Business! by Robert Kiyosaki – To make money and to enjoy financial freedom, you MUST have your own business! declares bestselling author Robert Kiyosaki. Millions worldwide enjoy learning from Robert. On the DVD, Robert Kiyosaki shares with you his revolutionary wisdom, just as his rich dad shared it with him.
