I hope you are doing great today. So you have heard about Network marketing and you immediately entertain all the misconceptions about it. For instance its unreliable and not genuine, its a scam, people are in it just for themselves, only those at the top enjoy the benefits and so on..
Well the truth which you must begin to accept is that Network marketing is NOT what/how you perceive it to be. In fact all over the world, Network marketing is regarded as the business of the 21st century. Like any other industry, Network marketing has to be learned and the best part is of it is that anyone can learn the concepts and principles embedded in it and become a Pro. It is all about your mindset and disposition to the industry.
Have you heard of Robert Kiyosaki? Do you know him?
Let me tell you a little about him:
Robert Kiyosaki is an American business man, investor, educator, financial literacy activist, motivational speaker and author. He is best known as the author of the popular book "Rich Dad, Poor Dad". Other books he has authored are, The cash flow quadrant, Business of the 21st century, Second chance: For your money, your life and our world, Why we want you to be rich: Two men, one message, and so many others. Amazingly all his books are centered on the concept of Network marketing and he explains why this industry should be considered by anyone who desires to be successful in life. You should get your hands on one of his books, they are available in bookshops and online stores.
Today i am going to share an extract from one of his write ups on Network marketing. Here is what he says:
Network Marketing - It's an Asset, not a job. By Robert Kiyosaki
"I am sometimes asked, Why do few people make it to the top of their network marketing system?
The truth is, the top of the network marketing system is open to everyone; unlike traditional corporate systems which allow only one person to reach the top of the company. The reason most people do not reach the top is simply because they quit too soon.
So why would someone quit short of the top? Most people join only to make money. If they don't make money in the first few months or years, they become discouraged and quit (and then often badmouth the industry!). Others quit and go looking for a company with a better compensation plan.
But joining to make a few quick dollars is not the reason to get into the business.
The two essential reasons to join a Network marketing business:
Reason number one is to help yourself. Reason number two is to help others.
If you join for only one of these two reasons, then the system will not work for you. Reason number one means that you come into the business primarily to change quadrants; to change from the 'E' (Employee) or the 'S' (Self-employed) quadrants to the 'B' (Business owner) or 'I' (Investor) quadrants. This change is normally difficult for most people because of money. The true 'E' or 'S' quadrant person will not work unless it is for money .This is also what causes people to not reach the top of the network marketing system; they want more money than they want to change quadrants.
A 'B' or 'I' quadrant person will also work for money, but in a different way. The 'B' quadrant person works to build or create an asset - in this case a business system. The 'I' quadrant person invests in the asset or system.
The beauty of most network marketing systems is that you do not really make much money unless you help others leave the E and S quadrants and succeed in the B and I quadrants. If you focus on helping others make this shift, then you will be successful in the business..."

Today i shall be writing to you reasons why you should create another stream of income.
First let us take a look at this extract from an article i found on www.entrepreneur.com
".....For anyone who values financial security and ultimately
desires financial freedom, creating at least one additional stream of
income is no longer a luxury. It has become a necessity.
Diversifying
your income stream is crucial to protect yourself and your family
against the unavoidable ups and downs of economic and industry cycles.
Because of the financial risks that come from relying on one source of
income, such as a job or a business, consider creating at least one or
more additional streams to generate cash flow.
Your additional
income streams can be active, passive or a combination of the two. Some
may pay you for doing something that you love (active), while others can
provide income for you without your having to do much of anything at
all (passive). You can diversify your income streams among different
industries to protect you against major losses during downturns in one
market and allow you to financially benefit from the upswings in
another.
This
truly is one of the not-so-obvious secrets of how the wealthy become --
and stay -- wealthy, which unfortunately isn’t taught to the masses....."
Hal Erold Author & Contributor
Now lets look at the reasons why you should create another stream of income:
1. Unplanned circumstances. I am sure that like me, no one budgets for bad or unpleasant circumstances but we all know that we are bound to encounter such circumstances at different points in our lives. And the annoying part is that they always require money to fix them. For example, sicknesses either from you or any member of your family (especially severe sickness associated with the Aged), car accidents, car repairs, generator repairs and any other property of yours that could suddenly develop a fault and require urgent repairs. You will see that by the time you decide to take all these into consideration and budget for them, your salary becomes grossly insufficient to take care of your responsibilities! 2. Job insecurity. This is no longer news as we continuously hear stories of workers being laid off from their jobs and its not because they do not have the required qualifications! Today there are so many intelligent first class and 2.1 graduates who are out of jobs for one reason or the other, and so many more out there who are desperately searching for jobs! In fact, if you resume work on a given day and close work without any letter or bad news, be grateful that you still have your job. That evil spirit called "downsizing" is yet to visit your place of work. 3. Employer Domination. Because
your employer pays your salary and knows you have no other income, they
tend to want to dictate your life They ask you to come to work at odd
hours and days. Some people are forced to go to work on weekends because their employers have demanded so and they have no choice since they do not want to loose their jobs. This is what happens when you have only one option, one source of income! I've found that employers are more respectful
of their staff members who are wealthy and do not depend on the salaries
they are paid. 4. Relaxation? too expensive. This is always the last thing on the mind of the average Nigerian especially when expenses are involved. But there are times we wish we could just take some time off to relax. Although it may be expensive to travel for relaxation, the truth is that we cannot afford it because we do not earn enough to afford it. 5. Money while you sleep.
For most of us, the bulk of our money comes while we're awake and at
work. Really rich people make money while sleeping from having
businesses that do not require their constant
involvement/participation/attention to do well. Beyonce makes so much
from CD sales, which do not require her attention. Same with Dangote and
Otedola, they make money from you and I driving to their filling
stations at night, buying a Dansa fruit juice while going home stuck in
traffic. We drink, they earn. We fuel, they earn, we listen to music,
they earn. What is working for you while you sleep? 6. One more secret from the wealthy.
Do you really think you can become rich working for someone? You can
never be richer than the person you work for. No employer can pay you
more than he pays himself. The only way to assure yourself of constant
promotion and better pay is to work for yourself or at least do
something that works for you. 7. Trends are changing.
Certain industries are becoming less important in our time. In the next
few years, it could be an industry you're in or you have some interest
in. So you need to have your hand in many pies. 8. God says so.
If you believe in the bible, then read Ecclesiastes 11 from verse 1 to
2. It says "Cast your bread upon the waters, for after many days you
will find it again. Give portions to seven, yes to eight, for you do not
know what disaster may come upon the land." And he doesn't suggest just
one or two, he says 7 or 8. In the book of beginnings, the first
mention of a river that nourishes a garden tells us the river has four
tributaries, meaning the garden needs to be nourished on all sides. 9. Because you really do need it. Seriously, you really need to have another stream of income so that you can gain financial freedom and spend your money the way you want.
Do you agree with me?
If yes, then i want you to consider partnering with us at Helping hands international. You can get in touch to know more about us.
Have you read my previous article? Did you find it interesting?
Today, i shall be writing about one of the very interesting benefits that members enjoy in Helping Hands International; its the free trade and skill acquisition training!!!
In line with our vision to touch lives and empower people, the founder/CEO of Helping Hands International, Mrs Luzvimda Mac-Elvis mandated that every member of Helping hands must learn a trade/skill for free and become certified at the completion of the training!!!
This means that, irrespective of the level/stage you are in Helping hands, you are eligible to attend any trade/skill acquisition programme of your choice for free. The only prerequisite is that you are a member of Helping hands international.
Isn't that awesome?
Since the inception of this noble organization in Nigeria, many free trade and skill acquisition programmes have been organized in different parts of the country. Many members who have benefited from this training have established different kinds of businesses giving them another alternative source of income in addition to current jobs/businesses.
Examples of trades/skills that have been learned:
Website design
Computer appreciation
Graphics design
Car Tracking Technology
Autocad design/Engineering
Soap production/marketing
Paint production/marketing
Poultry and Fish farming
Animal husbandry
Bead making
Perfume making etc..
Below are some pictures of trade and skill acquisition programmes that have been held in different parts of the country:
WHY DO WE NEED TO LEARN A TRADE/ACQUIRE A SKILL
You may think this is not a big deal but i tell you that indeed it is a
great deal especially when we consider our current financial/economic
situation in our country. The bottom line is that we have come to that
point where we can no longer live satisfactorily on one source of
income.
Having an entrepreneurial skill can be one's "saving grace" in the future. I say this because of the instability of our jobs in Nigeria. That you are employed now does not guarantee that you may still have that job tomorrow.
Many intelligent and hardworking men and women have lost their jobs and have been thrown back to "square one" where they have to start struggling all over again. If only they had a handiwork and were able to start something entrepreneurial.
This is why you MUST ACT NOW!!! You should not wait until you become a victim of such circumstance.
Learning any of the above listed trade/skills can be very expensive out there, but you are able to learn any trade of your choice for FREE if you become a member of Helping Hands International.
Are you a graduate and currently looking for a job?
Are you out of your job and are looking for something else to do?
You need to stop wallowing in your frustration or self pity, it isn't over yet, something can still be done. The power to change your life and situation lies in your hands!
All you need to do is to make that decision to change and then move away from your comfort zone and embrace the force of change in front of you!
Make that decision to join Helping Hands International and contact me NOW!!!

Are you an employee earning a monthly salary? Are you self employed? If you are in either category, then you should ask yourself if what you currently earn from your jobs or businesses is sufficient to foot your bills and take care of your responsibilities.
Aside from this we cannot ignore the current economic situation in our country. Businesses are shutting down leaving their employees without jobs. Some other companies have had to cut down their human resources in other to stay afloat in the business environment. For this reason we hear news of employees constantly getting laid off.
Reason with me on this, with this current situation, do you think that the rate of unemployment can be easily tackled and/or reduced in this country? NO!!!
Every year graduates are produced from over 36 Universities, Companies are shutting down because of the harsh economic situation, employees are being laid off and current employees are unsure of what their employment status would be the next day.
My dear friend, it is time to take action. We all are aware of the current economic situation and there are complaints everywhere but we cannot afford to sit down and let it take its toil on us. The truth of the matter is that, so long as you are alive, you have the responsibility to take care of yourself and your family. We can no longer depend on our salaries to meet our every needs, in fact the average Nigerian is underpaid yet his expenses are constantly on the rise. We should not wait to become victims before we act.
Now is time to think of other options! it is time to create an alternative source of income, a "PLAN B" we would call it.
I am sure you agree with me.
As your financial empowerment coach, i am offering you a business opportunity that has been tested and trusted to be considered as an ideal PLAN B for all Nigerians to involve in.
What does this Plan B offer:
No interference with your current job or business
Minimal time investment
Transferable to family
Full control, Globally recognized
Possibility of constant growth with no limitations
Resistant to economic fluctuations
Requires no additional skills
Our Plan B offer:Helping Hands International
Helping Hands International, is a Non-Governmental Organization with a vision to empower the needy and less privileged in our society. We are known for touching lives and empowering people hence the slogan 'Helping hands international... Touching lives, empowering people'.
Helping hands was founded by a Philippine woman Mrs Luzviminda Mac-Elvis, co-founded by Dr. Ramiel Polycarpio and introduced into Africa and Nigeria by Dr Timothy Odeghe.
I am a simple lady of little beginning who has enjoyed the mercy and grace of God. My growth experience has shown me that irrespective of background, location or education, you can still achieve your dreams. All we need is a helping Hand. Someone genuinely interested in his fellow man, who is ready to go the extra mile to make the next person believe that he can be what God made Him to be. My heart pants consistently for the down trodden. I can't turn away from the less privileged.
Mrs Luzviminda Mac-Elvis Founder/President
I am a dentist. I love people and believe in the abundance of God's creation. His love can only be experienced through a selfless service directed towards humanity irrespective of race or colour. Our lives can only be really meaningful if we learn to share our resources with others. Resources may not be money. At times, it could be something much more valuable than money. I mean-your time, skill, knowledge or even the fruit of your heart-love and kindness. I invite you to join our young organization, Helping Hands International (H2i) and become that Solution that the next door neighbor needs today. Together, step by step, little effort here, little effort there, we shall change the world.
Dr Ramiel Polycarpio
Co-founder
My Name is Dr. Timothy Odeghe, a graduate of Optometry University Of Benin, Nigeria. I must say that my involvement with H2i is divine, because I never knew that it will amount to something massive and impactful as we now can see in H2i.
H2i is truly God given vision, with it we shall reduce the rate of poverty and unemployment in Africa. We are here to stay.
Dr Timothy Odeghe
African Rep.
Helping Hands International started in Nigeria on 3rd December, 2013. The African regional office was opened on 30th May, 2014 at Egbeda Lagos by the Founder/President Mrs Luzviminda Mac-Elvis. Helping Hands was officially launched in Africa on 31st May, 2014 at Ikeja Lagos. The Founder, African Rep, Hyundai motors and other dignitaries were present at the event, together with partners from other African countries like Ghana, Cameroon etc.
Our Services
Humanitarian services: financial support and scholarships to the poor, orphans, widows and the less privileged.
Trade and Skill acquisition: learn a trade and/or acquire a skill for free in computer appreciation, graphics design, car tracking, animal husbandry, fishery, poultry farming, beads making etc.
Asset and Property support: own a property with our support of 70% of the amount and pay back gradually within a year.
Financial empowerment/support: receive loans of up to $44,000 without interest and collateral and pay back gradually within a year.
Scholarship awards: receive scholarship awards for 2 of your kids and 2 members of your community
The "Business" in Helping Hands International
As a Non-Governmental organization, we require donations from individuals to support our project. In other to further extend our network and also affect the lives of as many people as we can, we decided to incorporate a wealth creation plan into our project. So this is how it works:
Make a donation of $40 (6,600 Naira). Your donation automatically makes you a member of the organization.
To further extend our network and raise more funds, you would be required to refer at least 2 of your family members, friends and colleagues to the organization to also make their donations, and you encourage them to do same.
You would agree with me that every successful organization is built on a large network of people. This is also applicable to Helping hands, hence the reason why you need to tell others about Helping hands international.
Believe it or not, you are already a part of at least one network but unfortunately it is either you are inadequately paid for been in the network or you are not paid at all, but directly or indirectly you are being 'used' by someone else. Take for instance, your current job, social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and so on. Whenever you tell a friend to add you on facebook, you are marketing; whenever you tell a friend to follow you on twitter, you are marketing and same thing goes for LinkedIn. But you don't get paid for your service of extending the services of those organizations to your friends.
Why don't you bring your skills and resources into Helping hands international and get adequately paid for your services?
Although you are required to bring in at least 2 people into helping hands and encourage them to bring in their 2s, you personally can bring in as many people as you can. The more people you bring into helping hands, the more money you earn.
There are 3 ways you earn cash benefits in Helping hands:
Referral bonus: you make 20% from every registration you do.
Matrix bonus: you earn bonuses when you complete a stage ($10 - $80,000)
Matching bonus: you earn bonuses when the person you referred has completed a stage ($100 - $600)
Other benefits in Helping hands:
Laptops/ Ipads
Hyundai Elantra car
Hyundai Elantra Jeep
All expenses paid trip abroad
Scholarship for 2 members of your church/mosque on recommendation
Financial support to an orphanage on recommendation
Scholarship for 2 of your kids
Interest and collateral free loans
Asset and property support
Yearly infinity bonus ($5000)
Residual income for life (paid yearly)
These cash and material benefits are spread across 5 stages. These are:
Stage 1- Associate
Stage 2- Master
Stage 3- Super master
Stage 4- Prime minister
Stage 5- Trustee
So tell me, what else can you ask for? By becoming a member of Helping hands, you have broken the chains of poverty and gained financial freedom. Now you have not only been financially empowered, but you have also been able to empower and change the lives of people around you! Isn't that awesome???
My dear friend, an opportunity to change your life for the better has been presented to you today. Make that decision now. In the words of Micheal Altshuler: "The bad news is that time flies but the good news is that you are the pilot."
Don't be one of those people who Pass Over Opportunities Repeatedly!!!
Join Helping hands international today. It is the ideal PLAN B source for wealth creation.
