What Residual Income Can Do for YOU!

What Residual Income Can Do for YOU!

 Recently, I ran across this post from another FAHT leader and thought I would share this with you! Since, in my last blog I discussed how Residual income helped me out so much, I wanted to share how it could help you as well!

Having a source of passive/residual income in today's economy is essential.  Back in the day, people flocked to real estate to create their passive income.  And they did very well with it for quite some time.  However, we all know where that market has gone...into the dirt.  In these tough economic times of layoffs and people's retirement accounts and dreams disappearing, the brilliant financial minds out there like Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki now recommend network marketing to people to create their passive/residual income.   And before turning your nose up at the thought of network marketing, know that it's SO much more than the Amway days that have been embedded in people's minds.  There is no more having to approach your friends and family to buy products/services and join your business.  It's SO much more than that.  I've been in this industry for almost five years and have never one time approached a friend or family member and don't ever plan to.  LOVE them dearly, they are so important to me and I treasure them but it's just not my thing. There is a WHOLE world out there on the internet that are looking for a network marketing business from home that don't need to be "sold" on the concept.  When the big dogs, Robert Kiyosaki and Donald Trump, put their seal of approval all over network marketing, people started to get their noses out of the air and started paying attention. Especially when Donald Trump started his own network marketing company, The Trump Network.  The AWESOME thing about creating a residual income with Network Marketing is it doesn't require a lot of capital upfront, like real estate does, for example. Anyone with a good attitude, persistence and a lot of self motivation can do it.  And while those three qualities may weed out many, it still leaves a door open for average people...like me.

So, what's the big deal about having a residual income?? Residual income is a beautiful thing, you do the work one time and that income continues to follow you month after month, year after year.  I am still receiving residual income every month for business I put on the books in 2008!  You can't beat that!  This type of passive income not only keeps you set financially but it allows you to focus on things in your life that are most important, your family, your relationships, enjoying life, all those things we cherish but so many don't have themselves setup to put first.  Bottom line, it gives you freedom!!

We all have things come up in our lives, divorces, sick family members, injuries, child birth, spouses getting laid off, etc.  Wouldn't it be nice to have a residual income already coming to you every month when those things come up??  A guaranteed check every month certainly makes things a lot easier, I know from personal experience.  If you are already working on building a residual income for yourself and your family, good for you!  Keep on working hard to grow it, it will come in handy through the years.  If you haven't started to build your residual income, what are you waiting for?  Find your opportunity and get to work on it, it is SO worth it!!

So grateful for my residual income,

Just do it!

Today I am setting new goals for myself! I am making a promise to myself from this day forward on October 13, 2010, that I will put effort towards my business daily to help it grow and nourish into the biggest success! I will no longer allow my personal life to effect my business! I will no longer accept b/s from other people that brings negativity into my life and my career! NO MORE!!! I can and will ONLY accept positive people, feelings, vibes, and things into my everyday life~
 There are many reasons why people start their own homebased business. I know for myself it was because of my babies. I want to to be here to see them grow and learn. I refuse to have someone else tell me how my kids day went...WHY? for what? There is no reason, to pay someone everyday,  to take care of my kids, when I could be here doing it myself. I don't trust anyone AT ALL! Plus, I am the one who carried them for 9 months, had my stomache cut open and raise them. Why should anyone else get the satisfaction of "playing mommy" with my kids, while I am work? Its not fair, and I won't allow it in my life. Nobody, will take whats mine away from me....Which is my TIME with my KIDS!
 Many people believe that working from home is all hype, a get rich quick scheme, a joke, not real, fake. Well, for those people, they are very close minded and in denial. They do not want to take a leap of faith with something that they could actually succeed at. Because then, they will have to admit that there is something that works, theres something that can get them out of that money rut, and into a better place in life. But, unfortunately, there are many, many, many people who would rather stay in that negativity and that lifestyle of not having anything, then to go out there and make it happen.  They don't want to believe it, its to good to be true to them. However, to the many people who do take that chance on bettering their lives, see what greatness their future can hold. They can taste the freedom!
 I am one of those people, the ones that thrive on succeeding and proving myself, and being able to say I DID IT!! and now that I am doing something, that effects my children's future, believe me, you will see me at the top, because there is no going back when you fnd something as powerful, as Ameriplan! When you have the chance to create an income that your receive residually...you better jump on it! Residual income can give you the freedom that a 9 - 5 job cannot.
 Through out the course of my business, I have had my successes, my recognitions, my awards and promotions, but I have also had my downfalls, my worries, my doubts. If you thought for a minute that my story was simple, guess again!
 Only 5 months after I enrolled, I had to take a break from my business due to my personal life. It was literally falling apart. This lasted for a good 5 months, but I never stopped thinking about getting my business back rolling again. What kept me even more motivated, was that I was still receiving my residual check, even though I had not touched my business for months. I got it back rolling summer of 2009, and yes it was smooth sailing! I was Top Producer on Kristies Team and listed as a top producer every month after that. I was so excited. I had given birth to my 3rd child in December, it slowed me down, but better believe it only lasted a week or 2 :)
However, you all are probably going to think this is crazy, but not only did my personal life turn to the worst once, it did TWICE! I had to once again, step away from my business for awhile. But through out this entire time, I was still receiving my RESIDUAL CHECK! See, that is the power of working your butt off and building a residual income, so when the time comes where you want to go on vacation, or something is going on in your life that you have to redirect your focus for a while, you can still count on your income!!!
 Another thing, you have to have a passion for what were doing in this business. I absolutely love what we stand for and how we help others everyday! We are NOT trying to sell bogus stuff to people, these discount plans are so affordable and I can gaurantee every household in America , needs 1 of the 5 plans that we offer!!!
 So, if you have the slightest feeling about changing your life around, building a business and a future for you and your family.....start here.....start now! What is your reason for NOT doing it? Are you scared? You don't believe it? You don't have the time?...Well, let all that go, and believe me, you will have plenty of time once you have built yourself a successful business. You will have all the time in world, to do what you enjoy and choose to do, instead of what corporate america wants you to do. ....There is no way, you will go wrong with Ameriplan, as long as you are motivated, persistent, consistent, patient and a go getter.

Health Coverage for Pregnant Women - Recommendations from American Pregnancy Assoc.

Over 41 million Americans are uninsured, and many of those who are insured are underinsured. As a result, there are approximately 13% of women who become pregnant each year who are not insured, which often results in inadequate prenatal care.

Another challenge uninsured pregnant women face is that some insurance plans consider pregnancy a pre-existing condition. Medicaid, a federal funded program for low income persons, will accept women who are already pregnant. However if you are not eligible to receive Medicaid, it can still be a challenge to pay for all the prenatal visits and delivery. The estimated cost of delivery alone is $6,000 – $8,000 for a normal pregnancy, and the cost increases if it is a high risk pregnancy.

This is the crisis that many pregnant women find themselves facing when they learn that they are pregnant. The excitement of being pregnant is quickly dissolved by the worry and anxiety of financial burden.

Government Funded Programs
Medicaid is a state run program that is federally funded. Medicaid provides medical assistance for low-income families and individuals. To locate an office near you go to Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.

You may find that there are other options, depending on your state, which provide additional programs for women who are pregnant such as Medi-cal from the state of California. You can check with your local department of health at Health Departments by State for information on local programs that may further assist you.

WIC is a federal agency that serves to safeguard the health of low-income women, infants and children under the age of 5. WIC provides nutritious foods to supplement diets, information on healthy eating, and referrals to health care. To get more information you can go to Women, Infants and Children.

Health Care Discount ProgramsThere are other alternatives to traditional health insurance and Medicaid. These alternatives offer a discount on your health care and may help you out. Make sure to check with your health care provider to find out what discount you would receive if you paid cash. Take monthly fees, deductibles and premiums into account. Here are a few examples of discount programs.

AmeriPlan is a discount plan that is currently available in all states except Alaska, Montana, and Vermont. AmeriPlan saves people up to 50% and more on their health care services. Benefits include physician, hospital, and ancillary services (i.e., lab work, tests, x-rays). Since AmeriPlan is not insurance, all pre-existing conditions are covered (except orthodontic treatment in progress), there are no deductibles, no waiting periods, no claim forms, and no annual limits. For more information on this discount program you can go to www.mybenefitsplus.com/KristieWooten or call 800-920-5701.
OTHER OPTIONS FOR MANAGING HEALTHCARE COSTS
Here are some additional ideas for helping you manage the costs related to prenatal care and birth:
If you are delivering at a hospital, you can contact the account office and talk to someone about setting up a payment plan or ask if they offer a sliding scale. Many hospitals do offer these, but they are not utilized because people do not know what is available to them.

If you are having an uncomplicated pregnancy you may want to consider giving birth at a birthing center. The estimated cost of a delivery and prenatal care at a birthing center is about $3,000 – $4,000. This is half of what it would be for a delivery at a hospital. Many birth centers also provide sliding scales, payment plans, and accept Medicaid.

If you are a single parent you can go to Single Parenting: Making It Work and Doing It Alone for other ideas on how to save a little extra money.

Remember to enjoy this time and don’t allow the financial burden to take away your excitement.

Ameriplan BBB Rating

Have you researched AmeriPlan before but were wary about their BBB rating?  When I joined AmeriPlan almost 2 years ago, they had a bad rating with the BBB.  The reason is lengthy but it comes down to AmeriPlan using a provider network that had faults and it ended up not working for many people in a certain state.  That being said, there were over 200 complaints against us for this and I'm sure other things.
So in my research I went further, and asked questions on who what and why.  I found that Ameriplan has about 2 million members, and with only 200+ complaints...that's not too bad!  I realized that pretty much all companies will have complaints, because as hard as any company may try, they will not please everyone. 
In looking at these complaints, it was important to me to see what AmeriPlan was doing about them.  The report showed that AmeriPlan was working to resolve them!  If the company was doing nothing then that would show the company's true colors...but AmeriPlan is not like that.  We work to resolve problems!!
So when I did my research and saw the bad grade with the BBB, I asked my enroller about it.  She said that AmeriPlan is working to resolve it.  And guess what?  Resolve they did!
Check out AmeriPlan's new BBB rating:  BBB Review of Ameriplan USA in Plano, TX.
This being said I have always said that these agencies that show a company's complaint history are just a means for someone to show what happened to them.  You never know if these reports are true.  I would say that most are, but there are people out there that like to smear a company for one reason or another.
So take what you read on the internet about AmeriPlan or any company with a grain of salt.  Use it to help you make your decision, go with your gut, and most importantly go with your passion! 
Find a great company with a fair compensation plan, find a team to work with that will give you the skills to succeed, find a product you LOVE, work hard with dedication and consistancy and you will succeed!
I'm completely happy with my decision when I joined Ameriplan nearly 2 years ago!  It was definitely the answer for me and my family!!  If you are still looking for that "perfect opportunity" to be home with your family and still make a great income feel free to visit:  www.freedomathometeam.com/MEverett   I also have a recorded career overview call that covers ALL of the details:  760-569-1296  Give me a call afterwards with any questions!  702-325-9067
