Residual Income or "Walk Away Income" are terms used by many people promoting MLM opportunities. These terms mean that you can build up a group of people that you will get paid on whether you work or not, like royalty payments from books or record. Well, the truth is, it doesn't work like that at all...

This is a touchy subject amongst some people, but I want to share my idea regarding it. I have been working full time in the home business industry for 10+ years. Some of that time has been spent in network marketing where the
concept of working 3-5 years and creating a walk away residual income is
marketed and sold. I have been very fortunate to have some tremendous success in that industy, working in that type of marketing model for 7 of my 10 years. During that time period I've had enough time to see trends and see that this promotion of walk away income doesn't exist.

During that time I've met many top earners who you would think had achieved the mythical walk away income, but guess what...?

They are still working today, some in their 2nd or 3rd company since I've known them! So where is the walk away income? I say it doesn't exist. I have known reps who have had 100's of thousands of distributors on their teams at one time and now they are rebuilding and doing it all over again still promoting walk away income. It makes me want to scream! They can't see that 99.9% of the people can't do what they do and they can't even achieve the mythical income.

There are many reasons why I feel this way and all are based on real life examples. One is companies change. I don't think companies like paying a million dollars a year to a someone sitting on a beach somewhere not doing anything to grow the company, so they change the compensation plan to include requirements to make these people "work", hence no "walk away".

The company may go out of business or get sold, the product may have issues with a regulatory agency and people get scared and your downline disappears.

One of your top members gets a transfer bonus to come over to a new company and takes most of your downline with them, then what? No walk away income and you are starting over.

Not only are these real life examples, but they all happened to us!

So here is my question to you... If there isn't true walk away residual income, why not work in a business that allows you to generate the most money in the shortest amount of time? Then you can take that money and invest it in true residual investment vehicles like Real Estate or other investment vehicles that throw off passive residual income. The word "passive" is the key word here.

I ask many prospects this question and most of the time I hear "but this one is for real" or "this one is different". I heard this recently from a friend and very talented marketerleader. It was early November and he had "found it", but
just 2 weeks later a package arrived in the mail from a new business he was now promoting not even 2 months later!

So I say - Do it NOW, Do it BIG, Don't believe the myth!
