The Power Of Residual Income!
Finding a name for this article was more challenging than almost any other article that I’ve yet written for ABCIncome.com.
Some of the titles that came to mind were:
“MLM For 6- & 7-Figure Earners”
(actually, that will be a future article.)
“Working A Job Versus Owing Your Own Business”
“The Endless Weekend”
“Are You Able To Do What You Want To?”
Part of the difficulty was that ABCIncome.com by design attracts a large number of professional, successful, people, including 6- and 7-figure earners, many of whom are already in business for themselves.
That’s why I scratched the, “Working A Job Versus Owing Your Own Business,” idea, because many people who own a traditional business are also drawn to MLM because it offers advantages that even some of the most attractive traditional business can’t -- namely low risk combined with the potential for very high income, and RESIDUAL income, something that many owners of traditional businesses do not have.
Finally, the reason that I was having difficult picking a title for this article hit me, the power of residual income is SO POWERFUL, and encompasses so many benefits and advantages, that it is truly hard to limit such concepts to one title, or even one article!
Not to give away too much from a future article that is still in the works, but sometimes people who aren’t earning a high income themselves are somewhat surprised to learn that people earning 6- and 7-figure incomes are interested in additional opportunities, whether MLM, or any other kind.
Of course, high income earners already know the reasons why. People who make more tend to spend more, for one thing. But, more importantly, successful people didn’t get where they are by not being open to opportunities. That’s what allowed them to become successful in the first place. And, just because someone earns a high income, doesn’t mean that they have the freedom, job security, or retirement savings that they would like to have. And there are many other reasons, some having nothing to do with money, which is why many of the wealthiest people in the World still go to the office.
Here, though, is one of the most powerful things about what residual income can do for you: It can give you many of the exact same benefits of being far wealthier than you are, or even the same benefits of being wealthy, far sooner than the average person might achieve them otherwise.
For instance, if you have the right opportunity, tools, information, and training, there is no reason why you can’t build a MLM residual income to replace your current income within a fairly short period of time, maybe even within a year or two. And many do it in less time…
Once you are reliably generating a stable income that equals or exceeds the amount you need to live on, do you realize that you don’t have to work as hard anymore to maintain that same level of income and lifestyle?
(And when I say, “work hard,” I’m not referring, of course, to ABCIncome.com’s We Guarantee To Build Your Business! program, which does almost all of the work for you. Rather, I am referring to those who choose to build a MLM business using traditional methods.)
Let’s say just for example’s sake that you currently earn $60,000 a year working a regular job. You can easily adjust the numbers and scenario to your own situation. For instance, you might be a doctor or business owner who draws a salary of $300,000 a year. It still works the same way.
However, if you are earning $60,000 a year, you probably still have to go to work everyday in order to continue to bring home a paycheck, right?
Not only that, but your entire life probably revolves around your occupation. If you want to go away for the weekend, for instance, you can only plan a trip from which you can return in time to be back at work Monday morning. And, of course, if it is during the work week you may be very limited in regard to what you get to do with your time in the evenings.
So, the first thing that happens if you are now able to earn $60,000 a year working from home is that, obviously, YOU ARE AT HOME! Or, at least you can work out of your home as much as you choose. That automatically means more time for you, your family, your hobbies, just relaxing, or whatever you choose to do at home.
However, even a home business owner likes to get out and do things, or even, “get away from it all,” sometimes. Unlike a job (or traditional business) where you probably can’t take any substantial time away from work (not including personal days and vacation), if you’ve created a STABLE residual income of $60,000 per year, the really neat thing is that, guess what, if you don’t work for a day, or even two, or even three, it will probably not affect your income much at all.
In fact, if you’ve gone about building your business the right way, you will soon reach a point where you could take off even longer periods of time: a week, several weeks, even an entire month, and still enjoy the same checks coming in week after week!
How many people working a regular job or owning a traditional business do you know who have that kind of freedom and flexibility? Most don’t. In fact, ordinarily, the only people who get to enjoy those kinds of benefits are those who are already wealthy (meaning they work because they choose to, not because they have to).
And hopefully you caught that last point. Because, for all practical purposes, once you’ve built a stable residual income you are in effect enjoying many of the same lifestyle benefits of the wealthy, regardless of whether you are wealthy or not!
And, if your goal is true financial independence, meaning that you desire to be wealthy, then just keep doing what you did to achieve the stable residual income that you’ve already built. Again, if you choose the right opportunity and build it right, there is
no reason why you cannot achieve complete financial independence within as little as 1 to 3 years, and ideally no more than 5.
By the way, I keep emphasizing, “stable residual income,” because it is such an important point. The last thing in the World that you want to do, and a huge mistake, is to quit your current job or business before you have something stable to replace it with.
If you’re thinking of quitting your job, you might want to check out my article titled, “Don't Quit Your Day Job!”

But, once you’ve successfully accomplished the above, you are in a wonderful position indeed!
Want to sleep in? It’s ok if you’ve built a sufficient residual income, the checks will keep coming.
Want to spend time engaging in your favorite sport, hobby, or activity in the evening, without having to worry about how early you need to be at work in the morning? That too is the power of residual income!
Want to go away for the weekend, but not sure if you can be back by Monday (or you are enjoying your trip so much you want to extend it)? No problem if you’re earning a sufficient residual income!
Want to go on vacation NEXT WEEK (or maybe the week after), but you can’t because your job requires that you put in for vacation time far in advance? Once you’re earning a sufficient residual income YOU determine when and where your vacation dates go on the calendar.
Just want to get away, maybe see the World, maybe not sure when you’ll even want to return home? If you’re living on residual income, you can do it!
In fact, one of your biggest problems may be finding new buddies to hang out with because all of a sudden you’ll have a lot a freedom and flexibility in your schedule, and the income to make use of it, but many of your friends and family members will be stuck in the 9 to 5 grind. So, unfortunately, they may not always be able to join you. But there are certainly worse problems to have :) Besides, if you make enough money, then you can afford to pay to take them along with you, if you want.
The benefits and the power of residual income are simply too numerous and too wonderful to ever be able to describe in a short article like this. The ability to get paid over and over again, maybe even for years, for work that you only have to do once. Truly working smarter, instead of harder.
If you’ve never enjoyed that kind of lifestyle then no matter how hard I try to describe it here you still won’t know what it’s like until you get to experience it for yourself.
Are you already on the way? Do you already have an opportunity and a vehicle that you are sure will get you where you want to go? If not, then what are you waiting for?
If you have an opportunity that is working for you, then great, do what you HAVE to do to make it work as well as it needs to for you to achieve your goals. If not, then I would urge you to find that opportunity ASAP, so that you can start enjoying the incredible income and lifestyle benefits of residual income!
And you’re certainly welcome to look elsewhere, but ultimately you’ll find that everything you need to be able to enjoy the power of residual income can also be found right here on ABCIncome.com!
