In a recent discussion with another successful network marketer the subject of college graduates and even many doctors flocking to a "Second Income Stream" that soon becomes a "Primary Income Stream".

In my own personal experience although I was raised by a successful entrepreneur I was always told, "once you get a college degree you can then go into any business you choose".

My dad felt that to get anywhere in life you have to have a degree. Specifically what you study did not matter just the fact that you started something and saw it through was enough to make it in "the Real World". This philosophy proved to be very expensive and would not create massive wealth and success that is available to students of MLM success using proven internet marketing techniques.

My Real World Experiences:

At age 10 I was told "well your 10 now so this summer you will not just ride your motorcycle and play golf - you need to go find work." My chosen career path was in the lawn maintenance business.

This was the logical choice as I grew up in a private resort community North of Houston Texas. Not only was I surrounded by wealthy friends of the family but the warm Texas climate made for year round job security.

After a few years as a lawn care professional, at age 13 I decided that an easier "job" was to open a pool side "Snack Shack" at the country club. So I set out to get the necessary permissions from the property manager and began creating a unique menu of "International" themed Hot Dogs as my feature item (my mom helped me with this).

We had an Italian "Diego Dog", a German "Frauline Frank", an American Footlong Chili Cheese Dog, a Mexican "Chihuahua Dog". This Snack Shack was a great idea and required less Blood and sweat than the lawn business.

However, just one summer made me realize that in less than 4 hours of mowing lawns I could match a week’s worth of profits in the restaurant business….I re-opened the lawn business!

…FAST FORWARD SEVERAL YEARS…I found myself far from home at Purdue University & I got that college degree and what did it do for me?

My Engineering Degree at Purdue University ran around $40,000 not to mention the other expenses associated with college & the 4 years of my life!

Before graduation I landed a job in Houston with a nice starting salary. Just a few months in "The Real World", I realized something…

I was not cut out to be an employee!You’re not really living if you are taking orders like where to be, when to be there, what time you can eat, how much time you take for lunch, how many vacation days you can take, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH…

After a few years being a slave to my own businesses and being independent, I found NETWORK MARKETING.

In many aspects owning a traditional company is WORSE than being an employee. Once I understood the concept of MLM, I would NEVER be a slave again!

So let’s review the options:
