Let's face it. We all need a "Plan B."
 The American dream of financial security appears more elusive than ever. People are beginning to recognize the myth of job security. Each quarter for three recent years, the US government reported record layoffs. Bankruptcies have hit a record high: one individual or family declares bankruptcy every 15 seconds of every minute, every hour, every day in the US. In the wake of Enron, Andersen and Worldcom, even our pension funds and 401k plans are in jeopardy.
Many people start their own business with dreams of achieving financial independence. However, most small business owners and professionals find that they have even less security than a corporate employee. If they get sick or injured their business typically comes to a stand-still. Their businesses are so often at the mercy of unpredictable economies. Since there’s no security in a corporate job and very little security in most small businesses and professions, how can anyone get control of their own financial destiny and create financial security for themselves and for their families? |
The most popular author on the subject of financial security for the past decade has been Robert T. Kiyosaki. Here are a few quotes from his best selling Rich Dad, Poor Dad series of books that shed some light on this subject:
"A job is really a short-term solution to a long-term problem."
"The primary reason people seek job security is because that is what they are taught to seek, at home and at school...then with debt loads, they must cling even tighter to a job, or professional security, just to pay the bills."
"When you work hard and become successful (in a job or career), that same success brings you less and less time...even if it does bring you more money...many just burn out."
"In moving to the business quadrant...your goal is to own a system and have people work that system for (or with) you."
"Job security is a myth...it is also risky for self-employed people in my opinion. If they get sick, injured or die, their income is directly impacted."
"My rich dad taught me to focus on passive income and spend my time acquiring the assets that provided passive or long-term residual income...passive income from capital gains, dividends, residual income from business, rental income from real estate, and royalties."
The secret, according to Kiyosaki, is in acquiring and creating assets. An asset is something that generates income for you independently of your ability to work. He urges us to develop multiple streams of income. We call it "Plan B." Keep your job, but create a backup.
UPC meets Kiyosaki’s criteria in a variety of ways. First, you can create true, residual income with UPC. Each month as UPC subscribers pay their monthly subscription fees, UPC Affiliates receive residual checks. It’s like a royalty that keeps flowing for as long as the subscriber remains a customer.
Second, there’s strength and diversity in numbers. As you build a network of Affiliates, you create a level of stability and predictability in your income. If you got sick or took a vacation, your income would keep coming in because many of the people in your organization would keep on working and customers continue their subscriptions.
Third, UPC operates in a turn-key, predictable manner. This creates increasing stability over time. You aren’t out there experimenting and trying to figure out what works. You have the benefit of the experiences of a whole field of Affiliates. So you get to invest your efforts in activities that have a proven history of success.
Fourth, you have an opportunity to own a piece of UPC. You can have a voice in how the company operates and you can participate in the profits of the whole enterprise. Many companies have promised ownership participation (someday). UPC awarded stock to over 100 owners within its first year in business.
No business can be completely free from risks. The fact is, our American economic system rewards risk-takers. Without risk there would be no opportunity. UPC offers a great opportunity to maximize your control of your financial future while minimizing the risks. What more could we desire?
