5 Reasons to Consider Coin Collecting for Wealth Preservation and Income Generation

Image via Wikipedia

This article presents the top 5 reasons that collecting tangible assets makes sense today. Assets expected to rise in value make the most sense, especially silver collectible coins or even gold for those that can afford it. Just considering the potential value of the metals content alone makes this a sensible strategy. Also, we’ll discuss briefly why the Numis Network business opportunity may provide a vehicle to this end as well as an income opportunity within the direct selling industry.  What makes collectibles a good idea today?

1. Fiat Currencies – All of today’s major currencies are fiat, including the US dollar, the euro, the yen, etc. Richard Nixon started this trend when he removed the backing of the US dollar by precious metals in 1971. Since that time, the dollar has lost 95% of its value and the price of an ounce of gold has risen from about $40 to over $1500 today.
2. US Spending and Runaway Debt – The US Federal Reserve is in the unique position of being able to print money to meet its obligations.  This would be called counterfeiting in any other setting.  Raising the nation’s “debt ceiling” may bring on some high political theater, but do we really believe Congress understands what a trillion dollars really is (or even a billion)?  The US Economy may soon be entering uncharted waters when complete default on the country’s obligations occurs, sooner or later (possibly at a failure to raise the debt limit).
   
3. Economic Opportunity – Although the world may not be facing another great depression, times of great financial upheaval have always represented times of great opportunity for those who are prepared.  And if we are soon to be entering a period similar to the Great Depression, or worse, possession of valuable “hard assets” couldn’t hurt.
4. Collectibles Performance – Most collectibles have failed to keep pace with the US stock market and are illiquid by nature, yet numismatics are viewed as one of the best available inflation hedges today.  The inherent metals value makes this especially true of gold and silver coins.  Popularity of gold and silver assets and the convenience of gold and silver coins is demonstrated by the countless television ads seen today.  And though Numis Network specifically cannot be viewed as an investment opportunity, based on its advertising policies, real assets consisting of high quality, rare numismatic coins may prove to be one of the unsurpassed wealth preservation strategies at this time in history.
5. Value to Your Heirs – Even if you never redeem your collectible assets, your heirs will appreciate them, if only for sentimental value.  Moreover, coins are cool.  Your grandkids will love you for it!

These are some great bottom-line reasons, if not a mandate, to collect precious assets.  There are a number of reasons to contemplate using the Numis Network as a possible vehicle.  First, Numis Network represents a “first mover” opportunity in the direct selling industry.  Second, it makes sense to get silver coins on a regular basis.  Many people who are familiar with the mlm/network marketing industry are somewhat “gun shy” about its auto-ship policies, having ended up with pallets or garages full of product to remain “qualified.”  The Numis Network Silver Coin of the Month Club is something that both its customers and distributors enjoy.  We haven’t met anyone who objects to having a pallet of valuable assets “left over” when they decide to move on to other ventures.  Everyone collects something, so why not collect money?

Numis Network Breaks the Mold – Announces First Ever 5 Year Product Buy-Back Offer

Image via Wikipedia

In network marketing many question whether or not the products are overpriced.

In the words of Ray Higdon, the top earner in Numis Network, all other companies in the network marketing “space” are too high risk now.  Certainly this has created considerable “buzz” in the Numis distributor community, many of whom experienced this announcement first-hand in Las Vegas.  But does this really amount to a huge game changer, as many of them now claim?

All other network marketing companies are now too high risk.

To help answer that question, we turned to a “seasoned” coin collector with a large collection of modern issue coins, and is not involved as a Numis Network distributor.  Who better to ask?  Here is his reaction, after watching the live announcement, which was broadcast live on Ustream.tv:

Network Marketing Tips – Keeping it Fun, Simple, and Duplicatable

Jake Kervorkian, founder of Numis Network, started in network marketing at age 21 and by age 25 was making more than most top earners in the world. In April of 1995, he took an entire month off, taking his family on a vacation and going to golf tournaments. When he got back, his check from his business had increased by over $3,000. What other than a network marketing business offers this kind of results?

When he returned from vacation, his weekly check had increased by over $3,000.

The two most important benefits of network marketing are time freedom and financial independence.   In order to achieve these benefits, it is critical that what you do can be easily duplicated.  Systems, tools, and events are the key to duplication in network marketing.  Successful people in network marketing attend all events and promote them to their team.  Although not a guarantee of success, Jake advises plugging into events.  This is  not only because it is what every six figure earner is doing, but to reinforce your own beliefs.

The main reason people fail in network marketing always comes down to belief.

The main reason people fail always comes down to belief.  The more plugged-in to events that you are, the stronger your belief will be.    If you (even subconsciously) hesitate or are timid about talking to people it will seriously detract from your desired level of success.  Therefore, it is Jake’s belief that although certain things in any business are negotiable, in network marketing, attending the major events isn’t.

The second non-negotiable item in network marketing is personal development.  Network marketers are 100% stock owners in “You Inc.”  Developing the needed skills comes from reading the right books, and attending events.  Jim Rohn has said that you have to work harder on yourself than on your business.

Cover of The Greatest Salesman in the World

Burke Hedges, gives great credit for his success to a time he was visited by his sister-in-law, who brought him the book, The Greatest Salesman in the World, by Og Mandino.  This one book entirely changed his life at that point.  Burke believes, however, that reading a book isn’t enough, because personal development may also necessitate studying and putting information into practice.  If you “really want” to achieve something will do whatever it takes, often taking actions that are inconvenient, or you don’t “want” to do.

Could it be that your success in network marketing (or any other business endeavor which you happen to have chosen), is limited by these factors?  If so, now that you understand the importance of events and personal development what will you do about it?

Numis Network is a network marketing company which is attracting many top MLM leaders (e.g., Burke Hedges) as well as  others simply interested in the benefits of the industry.  As with other network marketing companies, Numis Network allows is distributors to start-up their own business for minimal investment in its toolset and without the need for the other usual business start up costs of franchise fees, employees, inventory, facilities, organizing costs, etc .

Burke Hedges’ Network Marketing Story – Why MLM is the Answer

David Wood recently interviewed Burke Hedges, author of Who Stole the American Dream.  Burke  began his entrepreneurial career in 1986 selling cellular phones, but was  out of business by 1988.  By age 25 had made $1 million, although it had cost him $1.2 million.  He decided he wasn’t a business person, but a mentor coached him in network marketing.  Since he was teachable and coachable, he became extremely successful in the industry, over the last 23 years.

Burke became an ambassador for the truth of the opportunity available through network marketing, and a best selling author.  He has sold 4 million books in 20 languages.  Now he endorses Numis Network, as the only company that the average person has a chance to make an income today, thereby being able to cure the prevalent malady of “brokeness,” now rampant in the USA.

Today, Burke wants to help as many people as possible become millionaires.  He believes that with the type of technology that is now available, via the Internet, especially that the opportunities are greater than any time in history.  Although he didn’t initially understand the Numis Network opportunity,he now believes that he is alleviating financial sickness in the country.

If you want to make God laugh, just go ahead and tell him your plans.

Burke Hedges is well connected with the top leaders and earners in the network marketing industry today.  Although the particular product is always important, a unified vision and purpose is usually part of the core of big success stories in network marketing.  It is consistently true that when you help other people to achieve their goals, a huge organization results.  Every company in the industry has come out with a product that dominates as a result, based on community and a “big cause.”  People want to be part of a winning team.

People want to be part of a winning team.

Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe both died early without helping many people.  Burke believes that the network marketing industry is worlds apart from what many consider “worldly success.”  “Cause marketing” is what builds community, big teams in the network marketing industry, and a true sense of accomplishment not available any other way.  Those that get on board this train will be “unstoppable” in the business.

When enough people get the vision, the rules of the game change.

Burke wants to work with people with the desire to change their financial circumstances.  Success in network marketing requires that a person truly “stare down” fear and generate belief, or faith.  The good news is that once you’ve done it you have a new skill, being able so solve any financial issue in your life that would arise.

Burke also believes in lifelong learning.  He has personally transcribed all of David Wood’s training CD’s in order to be at the top of his game as a network marketer.  This, despite the fact that he is an author who has sold millions of books.  If you have the skills to earn money in this industry, no one can take that away.  Some sacrifices may be necessary in order to reach the level of success you want.  His grandfather packed up two kids from East Hampton, Long Island and moved them to Havana, Cuba, where he built a vast textile empire.  It was all taken away when communism took over.

Losing everything doesn’t have to happen to an entrepreneur in this country who has the skills to earn his own way.  One of the greatest things about the training available to network marketing distributors is that it changes their lives in ways that can’t be taken away.  The skills they develop will serve and support them no matter what happens.

Does Network Marketing Work in 2011?

As most people are aware in 2011, the promise of the network marketing industry is financial freedom.  This is something that everyone is looking for in one way or another.  Today 64 million people in 120 countries are involved, believing that network marketing will deliver on this promise.  Leading industry expert and “Who Stole the American Dream” author Burke Hedges, shares that there are two parts to the basic question if network marketing works:

1. Does the network marketing industry work?  Since the network marketing industry has created more millionaires than any other industry, this probably isn’t the real issue, although it (on the surface) seems to stop many from engaging at all.
2. Will it work for me?  This is the real question.  Why wouldn’t it?  What barriers could prevent it for you?  The only two possible reasons could be either fear of failure or fear of success.

So the question comes down to individual choices.  Those that choose to work a network marketing business and have an adequate leadership and training base  will undoubtedly succeed.  Yes, you must choose an adequate vehicle.  Yes, the training that is available to you is important.

Given the above is all true and a good vehicle is available, what do you need to do to make it work for you.  Numis Network top leader Ray Higdon shared what he actually did in his recent 6-star success story.

• Ray made contacts with everyone he knew and invited them to a presentation.  This, despite the fact that most had been already “pitched” in his previous network marketing endeavors.
• Ray has found a higher “acceptance” from people with the Numis Network product, which is gold and silver.  We have seen many similar examples in other companies with other products and are confident that this approach will work with any good company and product.

What Ray Higdon did, and thousands of others as well can be duplicated by literally anyone.  The only question is will any individual take action.  This is usually controlled by their underlying beliefs and fears.  Jake Kervorkian, the Numis Network cofounder, believes that 2011 will be a stellar year for his company, yet despite this, an individual’s beliefs will determine their own success.  An individual must be totally “sold-out” on what they’re doing as well as the fact that they can do it in order to reach their true potential.

As 2011 approaches, it is crucial for each individual in or considering network marketing as an option to take inventory of their business/plans.  What will/are you doing on a daily basis?  How many people will/are you talking to about your business?  Where is your belief about your company and yourself?  This is the formula for success and the only determining factors in whether or not network marketing will work for you in 2011.

Top Earner Formula – Finding the Right Place, Right Time Opportunity and Approach

In a recent webinar, two of the most prominent “rock stars” in both Numis Network and My Lead System Pro shared their personal top earner formula.  David Wood is the #1 recruiter in both Numis and MLSP.  Ray Higdon is the #1 earner in Numis and top MLSP recruiter.  Obviously, both David and Ray are passionate about the network marketing industry.  And both are also strong believers in a particular product and business opportunity represented by the Numis Network.

How have these two been so successful in both recruiting and teamwork?  David is very well known as the top internet marketer within the network marketing/MLM niche.  Although many on the Internet operate using the philosophy of recruiting as many as possible with the hopes of a few learning the path to success on their own, both David and Ray operate from a “different” mindset.  They are more about building a team and supporting their team than some in the attraction marketing industry.  This explains their phenomenal success and the amazing growth in their businesses.

David and Ray believe that the choice of “vehicle” is crucial to their success.  First, what are the choices available in the network marketing industry?

1. Cosmetics & Skin Care.  Most of these companies operate on the party plan which makes it more difficult for men to be involved, thus limiting its appeal to business builders.
2. Nutrition and Weight Loss.  Obviously this is the staple of network marketing.  Issues include competition from retail outlets and the plethora of companies in the network marketing industry.  Recent economic conditions have put pressure on distributors as their customer bases have dwindled.
3. Household Products.  Usually these companies don’t make sense for autoship, so distributors typically “stock” products for delivery to their “customers.”  Most business builders don’t want to get involved with these details and prefer a “hands-off” autoship product.
4. Technology Products.  These products have some significant benefits.  ACN, for instance has 2.5 million representatives and is the longest lasting network marketing company in existence.  Typically the pressure for continually lower pricing and diversity of sources make it difficult for network marketing companies to last long term.  For instance, when long distance pricing fell from $.60 to $.04, many companies couldn’t survive.  Commodity products with continuing price increases due to inflation are better in the long run.  Also, technology companies are constantly fighting with Microsoft, Apple, Google, etc.
5. Services: Financial, Travel, Discount Programs.  A prime example is Prepaid Legal, which sells a monthly $36 product and has created some big fortunes in this space.  Travel companies face a complex sale and poor retention, e.g., about 15%

Why is Numis Networks and numismatics a good choice for network marketing?  First, this is a new product category in network marketing without many of the objections present in more typical companies.  The numismatic industry is a $100 billion industry, featuring a product, gold and silver, that  no one ever has too much of.  Additional information about the Numis Network are available in the detailed company overview and replay of the David Wood/Ray Higdon webinar.

Ray Higdon Review – How He Hit 6 Star in Numis Network

In this article, we review rising superstar Ray Higdon and the secrets of his recent success as the first 6 Star in Numis Network. Numis Network is just about 1 year old in the network marketing industry. Ray, who joined near the beginning has demonstrated an unusual work ethic, and virtually did not let a day go by without telling someone about Numis.

What is unusual about Ray’s success is, unlike many success stories in this industry, he didn’t move over a big team from his previous company or spend a lot of money in advertising.

What are some things he’s did this time around?  Here are some of his strategies:

• Offline Strategies – His vehicle has a rear window decal advertising his Numis website.
  

  Image via Wikipedia

  His wife often wears a Silver Eagle pendant, which generates many questions.  He markets continuously when he’s out, using $100 drop cards, especially in Barnes & Noble, placing them in Rich Dad, Poor Dad books, etc.  He even did a Private Business Reception, which he didn’t want to do, having already introduced his friends and family to multiple businesses and signed up 4 of 5 attendees who showed up (17 promised to attend).

• Online Strategies – Ray primarily uses relationships on Facebook that he establishes with Libertarians, Ron Paul & Glen Beck fans and other network marketers, who are all very obvious in their profiles and in the case of network marketers, what they are advertising.  He uses Twellow.com for marketing on Twitter, creating relationships with the same types of people.  He also writes a new blog entry daily about network marketing, keeping in mind what his best prospects would be interested in.

Ray’s basic secret to success is consistently and daily getting “NO’s” to look at the opportunity.  He averages 20 people per day telling him no.  Like any sales job, success in Numis Network reduces to a numbers game.  He relates that in a previous telemarketing  sales position he made about 475 calls per day, so getting 20 per day hasn’t been a stretch for him, given that perspective.

Ray’s main focus is on mindset.  It’s not about marketing skills or native talent.  Most people with the wrong mindset have a “lack” mindset.  Ray believes there are millions of people who will join Numis Network, so he doesn’t get hung up on one that doesn’t.

Also, those with a “fear” of failing will not make it.  Suspend your disbelief and realize that you just might succeed.  Being a victim is a comfortable position, because you can avoid responsibility, but it will cost you income and relationships.  No leader will ever sign up with a victim, out of the victim’s “need.”  Many people say they “need” a heavy hitter, but you can’t even get hung up on getting a “no” from the heavy hitter.

Observe internal voices telling you that the person you’re about to call isn’t going to be interested and just make the call anyway.  The company president recommended George Zalucki’s “Profile of a Champion,” to Ray, which he highly recommends for improved mindset.  Too many people watch Constant Negative News  (CNN) and hang around negative friends, destroying their mindset.

Ray’s daily routine includes writing affirmation, e.g., “I am so happy and grateful I’m a Numis Network 6 Star.”  He also spends 10-15 minutes every day in meditation.  He also writes a blog, shoots a video or writes an article.  Then he goes for 20 no’s every day.  Why?  Because he is hungry.  Just 12 months prior, he was broke and behind on all his bills.  Do you have to get in that position before stepping to the plate and getting into the game?  Ray believes the timing is now since there are only about 10,000 representatives in Numis Network, all the marketing materials and systems are now in place, there is no competition in this category, and because of an exodus of distributors from many other network marketing companies.
