Let's face it - here we sit in the end of June 2011 and the world economic indicators/statistics/news, etc. are not painting a pretty picture of where the U.S. is today - heck where the world is today.
Cost of food is skyrocketing worldwide as demand increases and global catastrophes (tornadoes, hurricanes, droughts, storms, pests, etc) increase. The housing market is absolutely ridiculous in every aspect - 6 million homes haven't even been released on to the market by the banks, another 1 million people stand to lose their homes in next few months and 1 million homes sit on market without buyers. Unemployment and underemployment are at high's that never seem to dip. Remember, believe about 1% of what you hear on the news - the media always paints a prettier picture than what is really happening. That's because they are told the news by those in power positions that decide what the news is. Trust in the government is at an all-time low - less than 1/3 of Americans trust the government can pull us out of this global economic storm. On top of that Americans have a debt-to-income ratio of 135% on average (for every dollar we make, we are spending $1.35). How do you think that is going to play out?
So, that was't the most encouraging paragraph I have ever written - hah! Facts are facts. It doesn't have to be your reality. You have a choice what you do with the 24 hours God gives you everyday. You can work 8 at a job you either love, like, dislike or hate and then sleep 8 hours, which leaves you 8 hours left to either invest yourself into or waste away. Most Americans waste those hours, not consciously, it just happens. Now don't get me wrong - if you are investing time into your kids, your spouse, your God - you are not wasting time.
However, if you are watching television, cruising the internet, taking naps, reading garbage, etc. - you are wasting time. These behaviors will lead (if they haven't already) to a life ON A LEASH!
And we are here to talk about LIVING UNLEASHED. That requires a change in paradigm for most people. In other words, if you are currently working a job or a self-employed business where you are just getting by or worse (you are not prospering, putting money away every month, living life on your own terms, not stressed about prices of gas or food because it is squeezing your financial belt), it is time to take a look at MSI's.
MSI's are multiple streams of income. You may need to do 2 things - (1) figure out how you can cut back in different parts of your life (hopefully in a way that isn't too painful or doesn't cause too much stress) and (2) you need to figure out how to bring more dollars into your Universe.
Multiple streams of income are additional income vehicles for you and your family. Home based businesses are on the rise BIG TIME. Why? They are being set up as an additional stream of income to adapt to the new economy. Network marketing is the fastest growing segment of home-based businesses with nearly 15 million Americans already involved at some level in a networking company. 60 million worldwide. In fact in Asia, it is skyrocketing. They are definitely picking up speed with network marketing much faster than we are in the U.S. Why? They take the time to learn it, apply it and then run like the wind!
You too can begin to learn about network marketing. I encourage you to take a few minutes to stretch your comfort zone, to learn how your perception of this 100-plus year old industry or lack of perception is far different than the reality.

PERCEPTION: Invest in Microsoft Timothy, it is going to be a huge company one day - every person in America and beyond with have computers in their homes, even kids. Timothy "Yeah right, only businesses that can afford these huge computers and software programs will ever buy these things." Boy was Timothy wrong - Loss: Millions
PERCEPTION: Get involved in the cell phone industry - it is going to be HUGE. One day every person in America and beyond will own 1 or more cell phones and will do most every task from their phone. Timothy "Yeah right, those big old clunky things that are $1,100 - no one can afford them and they will always be a business tool for those that have the money." Whoops wrong again - Loss: Millions
REALITY: You need to position yourself in front of trends. Who sets the majority of every trend: The Baby Boomers. What are they going to need NOW, 5 years from now, 10 years from now, etc? Figure it out and become UNLEASHED!!!!!
