Financial Security : What is it and can anyone have it?

Hello there! I was looking around for a subject to share with you today and came across the concept of financial security as being the topic of very high concern among the majority of us.

I have a soft-spot for struggling artists and musicians because I feel these creative people deserve a better deal than the rough time they get, not being able to concentrate on their art form ‘because they have to work to eat’, to me that is SO backwards in this society, we are throttling our culture not making it sufficiently easy to be an artist and survive by your art alone.

If I could, I’d produce more of this stuff….

My muse

But a culture is SLOW to change, but I am a part of that change and perhaps you will be too.

We all want financial security, but what is it really and can anyone really have it?

There is a old proverb that goes something along the lines of have a penny, spend a half-penny, you have happiness. Have a penny, spend two pennies, you have misery.

Simply translated into debt = misery, and the whole consumer driven society in which we live has got you believing that you have to have debts to have the great things that you need to be happy now, and you can pay for it all later…..

Except later, you’re even more in debt and even less happy ‘cos you have colossal debts hanging round your neck and so it goes on…

But what is Financial security?

I would like to consider that financial security would be having enough income to cover your current expenses and enough left over to put into projects that you want to. This being linked to having several sources of income, any one of which would cover your basic needs by itself, then you could happily have one income source (like your current job) suddenly disappear because the company shut down or was bought up or whatever reason, and you still have enough income from other sources to happily continue to survive comfortably.

That, for me would be financial security.

I searched around a little to find out how much interest alone you could earn on a million dollars, and found this handy response :

… but, here’s the answer to the “million dollar” question courtesty of Accumulating Money anyway:

So, to answer the question, how much interest do you earn on One Million Dollars (assuming a 4% interest rate, compounded monthly)?

One Day – $109.59

One Month – $3,333.33

One Year – $40,741.54

Five Years – $220,996.59

Ten Years – $490,832.68

Twenty Years – $1,222,582.09

So, you’d get $40,000 a year. Not too shabby for a start! There are certain members of the empower network who have successfully built up their monthly income to over $40,000. Per Month! That is some seriously well applied knowledge! So, it can be done.

Evidently not everyone is making such great sums, but there are a majority of people who are making some money.

In any business, you get out of it what you’re willing to put into it, and based on the way any business is built, instant millions are not a reality, but a decent viable, sustainable secondary income that could be built into a primary income through hard work, training, and dedication to your goals, is certainly a high probability.

That, in reality is the only true source of financial security.

Your own hard work and willingness to do what it takes to make it work.

This is the concept of financial security using the power of marketing on the internet to provide you with a sustainable income that does not take all the hours there are in the day to make and does not involve any of the following :

1. cold calling of phone prospects
2. door to door sales
3. any face to face selling or prospective customer handling
4. faking anything, trying to impress anyone into buying what you’re selling by wearing an expensive suit (that you haven’t paid for yet)
5. having to keep stocks of vitamins, face cream, lingerie or sex-toys under the bed
6. Pleading with your friends or family to buy some stuff so you can get the (measly) commission
7. working 18 hours a day continuously pounding your down-line team to make sales
8. selling your prospects a “two-year plan” and having to keep selling it even though you’ve been in the game for the last 10 years and still can’t hope to retire

None of the above are required using the effective training provided in the Empower Network.

The Empower Network is a high-ranking blogging platform that you can use to promote your own personal products and business, or just promote and sell the product itself, while you get the total training on how to effectively expand your reach and income.

It isn’t for everyone, and it’s not a ‘two weeks to riches’ deal either. The founders are very clear about that. No wussies are allowed. Some wussies do even buy in at the $25 level, blog for three days and wonder why they don’t have any sales yet and quit, but if you’re not a wussy then you could make this become your financial security, and like David Wood and Dave Sharp, Lawrence Tam, Tracey Walker, Chris Record, Justin Verrengia, Tony Rush and a whole bunch of others HELP a great many other people to achieve financial security with you.

That is probably the greatest thing about this network is that your financial security is based on the success of the people in your team. They win, you win. And it doesn’t take forever to build a team.

So, are you all-in?
