I am so very grateful for the opportunity to work with MyShoppingGenie because it empowered me to produce the income I needed to become my own boss. Even more importantly, it has enabled me to help hundreds of people raise their quality of life by saving and making money online.
This revolutionary new Web tool did for me what I couldn’t do for myself. It created a simple home-based online business that anyone can do.
I wish that I could say that I planned my career, but I didn’t. I wish that I could say that I was even seeking a career, but all I was doing in my 20’s was looking for a better-paying job. For the next 10 years, my income continued to rise until it was about three times my starting salary. Then something happened; my income began to plateau. I worked longer hours, accepted a promotion, began MBA course work, and even started a second job; but nothing seemed to work. No matter what I did, I couldn’t seem to break through this income plateau.
Then one day a friend of mine invited me to a seminar where the speaker actually mapped out my dilemma. She even said that approximately 95% of the U.S. population sees their income plateau around the age of 40. She also said that the other 5% of the population doesn’t see their incomes plateau because they know how to produce incomes that exceed the results of the rest of us.
She went on to say something that changed my life; if I learned what the top 5% were doing and I did what they did, I would have what they have. She also told me that she and her brother, who was in the top 1% of income earners, would be willing to teach me; so for the next three years she and her mentor became my mentors.
One of the concepts that people in the top 5% of incomes have mastered is called “reading the world." Most people are drifting along in life, going with the flow, completely oblivious to the opportunities that are all around them. When a person masters the practice of “reading the world," he or she begins to see where they can make a move to take advantage of an opportunity to produce income that can help them break free from their income plateau.
MyShoppingGenie is such an opportunity. First, let us consider the fact that we are in the midst of a major economic shift from an Industrial Age economy to an Information Age economy. We see evidence of this change in our economy all around us. Manufacturing companies and the financial institutions that invest in these companies are struggling for their very survival, while Internet-based companies like Google and Amazon are thriving.
This trend points to the fact that many of the most successful companies of the future will be in the high-tech Internet field. My Shopping Genie is uniquely positioned to take advantage of this shift in our economy because it enables the average person to make money online by helping them leverage the Internet.
Second, the way the goods and services that we need are delivered to us has been evolving over the last several decades. About one hundred years ago everything we needed was made by hand and, therefore, very expensive. In the 1960's the cost to manufacture products had dropped significantly due to mass-production to about 50% of the cost of a product, while the cost of getting the item to the consumer accounted for the other 50%.
By the 1990's manufacturing had become so inexpensive that the distribution costs were 85% of the price of a product to the consumer. Sam Walton knew that since most of the cost of a product was now in its distribution. If he could reduce those costs, he could save his customers money and also create a significant income for himself and his company. He was right!
Michael Dell took Sam Walton's example of lowering distribution costs (to save money for the customer and to make money for his company) to the next level. Wal-Mart was able to lower the cost of goods to the consumer by bringing much of the distribution channel under one roof. Dell Computer has been able to lower the cost of goods even further by eliminating the roof.
In other words, Michael Dell was able to become a billionaire faster than anyone before him by using the Internet to save people money on the electronics they wanted because he could eliminate the need for thousands of stores and employees. Those of us who have a license to the MyShoppingGenie software are able to do exactly what Michael Dell did with electronics. He was able to lower his cost by using the Internet as his medium of distribution, thereby helping people save money online and creating a huge income for himself.
When MyShoppingGenie brings a buyer to an online store, that company saves as much as 60% over the same product sold in a traditional retail establishment. Some of these companies like Amazon.com and Buy.com share their savings with us, creating an income stream. This is a win-win situation for everyone involved. The customer using the free Genie saves money, the person with the MyShoppingGenie license gets paid, and the company providing the product has a sale.
I am grateful to my mentors for teaching me how to “read the world” so that I could see that MyShoppingGenie is the ideal business for this time and the perfect opportunity to help people break through their income plateaus to the lifestyle of their dreams.
