For us, entrepreneurship is all about leverage-and that's been a huge lesson learned over the years! Our brick-and-mortar business, a flight school, is successful by all traditional meaures-but leverage wasn't really something it had ever achieved. Aaron was quickly becoming an embodiment of the Warren Buffet quip, "if you don't find a way to make money while you sleep, you'll work until you die!"
In 2013, we encountered the network marketing business model. Truthfully, we'd encountered it many times over the years but never really researched it thoroughly or educated ourselves about it. It turned out that what we'd imagined as a "party plan" or door-to-door sales was much, much bigger. Network marketing provides an opportunity for everyday people to build global distribution channels and create signficant streams of income.
If that sounds like serious business, it is! Does it work? This industry creates individual wealth second only to professional sports, and creates more female millionaires than any industry on the face of the earth.
How do you take it from the cliched party plan and transform it into a real, long-term business and a sustainable income stream? The answer is simple: a system. That is exactly what we have been and continue to be the beneficiaries of, and exactly we now seek to share through our "A Life Activated" community.
