<p>Unless you&#8217;re on track to becoming a doctor, lawyer, celebrity or investment banker in the next five years, <strong>starting your own business is the most reliable route to financial independence</strong>.</p>
<p>Many people stick with their current job because they believe that starting a business is tricky, expensive, risky, and a ton of hard work, but honestly, <strong>running your own business doesn&#8217;t have to be complicated.</strong></p>
<p>With the <strong>Global Resorts Network home-based travel business</strong> you can <strong>travel at wholesale travel agent prices</strong> and <strong>vacation in luxury time share resorts worldwide while growing a business you will love and be excited to wake up to every day.</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>If you&#8217;re reading this it&#8217;s probably because I found your travel business domain name while looking for good domain names to develop and sell.  </strong></p>
<p>I&#8217;d like to put your domain name to work earning you passive residual income at zero risk to you, and at the same time make the domain name more valuable and easier to sell because it&#8217;s getting traffic and making money. Call 603-560-6545 if you are interested. I have impeccable references as a veteran marketing consultant.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the plan:</p>
<ul>
<li>We&#8217;ll set up an affiliate website to which your domain will be forwarded.</li>
<li>We will use domain masking so that your domain name stays prominently displayed in the address window.</li>
<li>You will have sole access to all traffic and sales statistics and checks will be sent directly to you from the parent company once a week for any sales generated on the site.</li>
<li>We will advertise your site for sale along with the affiliate site as a package deal. You set the price. 100% of the sale price will go to you.</li>
<li>We will field affiliate inquiries and close any affiliate sales for you because we will earn $500 or $1,000 for that sale.</li>
<li>You will earn $250 to $1,000 for every new affiliate that signs up even if they use their own domain name and don&#8217;t buy your domain.</li>
<li>You will continue to earn $500 or $1,000 for every sale made by the person who buys your domain name and continues the affiliate program OR who signs up for the affiliate program under any sub-affiliate.</li>
<li>If someone decides to buy your domain at any time without our affiliate program, we&#8217;ll just stop advertising it and move on.</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve always believed in multi-level marketing as a really good business model.  Before I was very business savvy I signed up for one. I never made anything of it for a couple reasons. I wasn&#8217;t willing to call all my friends and relatives and try to sell it to them. And I didn&#8217;t really have any plan on how I was going to sell it and no experience in marketing or growing a small company.</p>
<p>Some years went by and I learned how to grow a small company and I learned a ton about marketing. In fact I have become a marketing consultant as my main career. From time to time I looked at MLMs again, still believing firmly that the right &#8220;pyramid scheme&#8221; could make the right person with the right product line a fortune. In fact I had seen it happen.</p>
<p>The problem was I still couldn&#8217;t find an MLM that I believed in.  Either their product was sketchy, or they were too controlling, or they had been around too long for fast personal growth, or they required auto-shipping and minimum sales quotas, or they would take years to start really paying off, or the price to join was simply too high, and always the prices of the products were ridiculously high to make up for the fact that I had an upline to pay for.</p>
<p>I still kept the faith that if the right company could put the power of multi-level marketing into the right product that I would sign up in a heart beat. And recently that faith paid off when a friend of mine told me about a luxury travel club membership that would pay for itself on the first vacation and then save me more than $1,000 a week on luxury accommodations for the rest of my life. And, oh by the way, it has this great referral reward plan&#8230;</p>
<p>In my mind, the ideal multi-level marketing company would look something like this:</p>
<ul>
<li>A company with a product that everyone already uses</li>
<li>A product that has a very high value to price ratio</li>
<li>A product that doesn&#8217;t need an explanation and isn&#8217;t mysterious</li>
<li>A product that I would buy in a heartbeat</li>
<li>Not a lot of complicated products in the product line/catalog</li>
<li>No ongoing fees, minimum purchases, or sales quotas</li>
<li>High commissions right off the bat</li>
<li>A really deep payment structure for extreme residual income</li>
<li>A huge and global market</li>
<li>Some kind of great perks</li>
<li>Fast and easy to start up</li>
<li>Low start up cost (minimum $100, maximum $3,000)</li>
<li>FAST PROFITS</li>
<li>FAST PROFITS</li>
<li>FAST PROFITS</li>
</ul>
<p>I have friends that have been in MLM&#8217;s for years who are sill making less than $500 a week and they make good part time work out of it. They have dozens of reps in their downline. What&#8217;s the problem? The problem is the payment plan, product price point, payment structure, and sellability of the products, are not in line with a large income. You have to build a huge organization to make enough to quit the rat race.</p>
<p>With the revolutionary new system called Perpetual Leverage which is used by Global Resorts Network, affiliates can see really fast ramp ups in revenue as well as amazing profits from very few sales. They collect a full $500 or $1,000 for each sale made in their immediate downline with the exception of their qualifying rep, plus ongoing full commissions from an infinite downline. The key to the system is the qualifying sales rolling uphill.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the dream scenario in MLM. You stumble upon a prospect who &#8220;gets it&#8221; right away. You sign them up. They proceed to sell the hell out of it making you thousands of dollars every week without you lifting a finger.</p>
<p>That exact scenario is happening to people in this business. Those are the kind of statements that make people scoff at MLM schemes. But someone has finally come along and figured out a way to make that happen through the <a href="http://payplan.us" title="Learn about Perpetual Leverage.">Perpetual Leverage compensation plan</a>.  Check it out.</p>
<p>Scoff if you will, contact me if you don&#8217;t. I&#8217;ll show you how to hire a few good sales people and start collecting a real paycheck each week.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><strong>You can&#8217;t help but wonder when considering a business opportunity, &#8216;Is this going to be just a waste time?&#8217;&#8221;</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>There&#8217;s something very powerful about exponential growth. It starts out slow, and then it starts ramping up ever so slightly, and then it starts to curve, and then it sneaks up on you, and then WHAM! It&#8217;s off the chart.</p>
<p>Thats how I see this business going. Make a few thousand in the first couple months, then a few thousand in the next few weeks, then a few thousand each week, and eventually some time down the road a few thousand dollars every day is flowing in because of the power of exponential growth. That&#8217;s just one scenario that I&#8217;ve seen happen.</p>
<p>But what if you just want to work a couple hours a week? Maybe hand out business cards and brochures a few times a year at trade shows. Can you make money that way? The answer is&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>As long as you&#8217;re consistent and patient and you stick with whatever you&#8217;re doing you can make an amazing amount of money over time.&#8221;</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Let&#8217;s say you can sell only three memberships a year after you&#8217;re qualified for your first level. I think anyone could do that just by running a small ad in the local paper each week with your website address in it. That&#8217;s a few hours work total to set that up.</p>
<p>Now let&#8217;s say that each of those can give the same minimum effort and sell three a year. At the end of the first year, let&#8217;s say you&#8217;ve made $5,000 (3 sales and 2 overrides). By the end of the second year let&#8217;s say you&#8217;ve sold three more, and made six overrides. That&#8217;s $9,000 the next year with still only a less than half hearted effort. In the third year you&#8217;d sell three, they&#8217;d sell three, and so on, and so on. Maybe one affiliate under you sells one a month and you&#8217;re making a thousand a month from his or her efforts. You could be up to $25,000 at the end of year three. Then you might easily expect to be making $120,000 by the end of year four. That&#8217;s ten commissions a month and easily doable in four years. And remember you&#8217;re barely working it. That&#8217;s the power of exponential growth. This is all hypothetical but extremely possible. Can you get that kind of raise each year from your day job?</p>
<p>Now imagine what you could do if starting with year five you quit your day job and focus on it for 10 or 20 hours a week?  Imagine the possibilities&#8230;</p>
<p>Just to give you an idea of what&#8217;s possible my friend Pat has sold 37 memberships in 6 months and has earned nearly a quarter of a million dollars. If she continues at that rate she&#8217;ll be earning that much each  month some time next year.</p>
<p>On the other end of the spectrum, Pat told me about one of her customers who sold only one membership but it was to someone who was experienced in network marketing and he&#8217;s now making a thousand bucks or more each week in overrides off that guys sales.  He hasn&#8217;t lifted a finger since, if you can believe that.</p>
<p>The Perpetual Leverage video, which is a quite reasonable scenario, shows an immediate front line of ONLY FIVE AFFILIATES which by the time they hit Level Five have turned into something over $70,000 in commissions. The reason is that with this revolutionary compensation plan you&#8217;re getting full commissions and full overrides right from the start on a high ticket item, unlike most multi-level businesses which take years of hard work to start making the big bucks.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Just do it. Keep doing it. And stick with it. Know that because of the power of exponential growth all your hard work will pay off a thousandfold. Be patient and consistent. It&#8217;s only a waste of time if you give up.&#8221;</strong></p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><strong>Is the membership really worth $1,500 for a Gold Membership or $3,000 for a Platinum Membership?<br />
</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>If it&#8217;s not, then this whole business is a waste of time.</p>
<p>First, consider that <strong>people pay many thousands of dollars more to purchase a time share condominium</strong> which they only get to use for a mere two weeks per year. There&#8217;s almost always a maintenance fee of some sort and occasional extra fees for remodeling and furnishings and whatnot. If you don&#8217;t pay the fees they can take away your time share. If you don&#8217;t use the time, you still pay your share.</p>
<p><strong>Here are some facts about the Gold Crown Resort Platinum Membership:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>The Platinum Membership is good for 100 years</li>
<li>You can pass it on to your kids</li>
<li>There&#8217;s no limit to how much you can use it (unlike a like a two-week time share)</li>
<li>You can share it with your family and friends and save them money too</li>
<li>You can save hundreds and sometime more than a thousand dollars per week at luxury time share resorts</li>
<li>If you tell someone about it and they join too you make $500 or $1,000</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Now let me ask you a few questions:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>How many weeks vacations do you think you are going to take over your lifetime?</li>
<li>How many weeks vacation do you think your children will take over your lifetime?</li>
<li>How many weeks vacation are your friends going to take over your lifetime?</li>
<li>Do you think you and your family can refer four sales some time in the next 100 years?</li>
<li>Do you think you and your family can refer MORE than four sales over the next 100 years?</li>
</ul>
<p>If you answered, &#8220;a lot&#8221;, &#8220;a lot&#8221;, &#8220;a lot&#8221;, &#8220;yes&#8221; and &#8220;yes&#8221;, then the<strong> Platinum Membership is worth far, far more than $3,000 in both vacation discounts and referral rewards.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Gold Membership Price Comparison</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>One week at a luxury time share resort can easily cost $200 a night or $1,400 per week.</li>
<li>A second week is usually the same price, $1,400.</li>
<li>Total for two weeks = $2,800</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Our Gold Membership is $1500, and with it, the first week’s vacation is around $500 ($300 to 700).</li>
<li>The second week’s vacation is also around $500 for a total of $2,500 including the membership price, a total of $300 savings.</li>
<li>The third, fourth, fifth week and so on are still only around $500.</li>
<li>That’s around $900 savings for each and every week you take thereafter.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>You can save money on your first two weeks of vacation.</strong></p>
<p><strong>After that you can save thousands on EVERY vacation.</strong></p>
<p>If you take a vacation each year, the <strong>Gold Membership is worth a lot more than $1,500 to you in both savings on your vacations and commissions on referrals. </strong></p>
<p><strong>If you refer just one new member per year you make your membership cost back and then some.<br />
</strong></p>
<blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;But how can it be worth $3,000 if $2,000 of that is going to pay commissions?&#8221;</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Nearly everything you buy, whether it&#8217;s a TV or a tube of toothpaste ends up costing the end user about three or four times what the original provider charges for it. On a three dollar tube of toothpaste the store will make a dollar, the distributor will make a dollar, and the manufacturer will keep a dollar. And generally all of them have some kind of marketing expenses. On a $3,000 flat screen hi-def plasma TV the store makes $1,000, the distributor makes $1,000 and the manufacturer gets $1,000.</p>
<p>When anyone purchases a GRN Membership the seller earns $1,000 commission for providing a service to the end user (a valuable discount travel club membership), the distributor earns $1,000 override for providing a service to the seller (a valuable business opportunity), and the provider keeps $1,000.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;Why doesn&#8217;t GRN just cut out the two middle men and sell it for $1,000?&#8221;</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>That could never happen. The independent distributors and affiliates are the advertising for this service. Without them GRN would have to hire salaried and commissioned sales reps to close the sales and spend a huge portion of the selling price on advertising which would mean that they have to mark the price up any way. In fact before there were two middle men the price was a lot higher - as high as $16,000!</p>
<p>Also keep in mind that the independent distributors are not just sellers, they are also customers and have paid $3,000 themselves to use the membership and the marketing system.</p>
<p>All that matters is that for each person involved in the transaction their quality of life becomes better in some way, either through huge savings on world-class vacations, a nice income, or a combination of both.</p>
<blockquote><p>You&#8217;ve got a bargain on your hands. Enjoy it!</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Carlsbad, California </strong>has one of Southern California&#8217;s  nicest beach communities.  And located right in the heart of <strong>Carlsbad Village Square</strong> is <strong>The Carlsbad Inn</strong>, one of the thousands of luxury travel resorts in the <strong>Gold Crown Resort</strong> online registry. The Carlsbad Inn features beach access only foot steps away from your balcony, gorgeous sunsets, a wide variety of nearby dining including three restaurants on the grounds, a swimming pool and hot tub, a large sunning lawn, and luxury accommodations. I found it to be both relaxing - with the beautiful gardens and quiet grounds - and exhilarating - with the nearby nightlife and dining.</p>
<p>Regularly for a week in December rooms here at <strong>The Carlsbad Inn</strong>  are well over $1,500 minimum.  The Gold Crown Resort members price:  less than half price - $699 for the entire week or $100 a day. I&#8217;m going to love this job!</p>
<p>Here are some photos I took of<strong> The Carlsbad Inn </strong>while I was there in early December<strong>:</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Perched high atop a hill overlooking the world famous <strong>Carlsbad Flower Fields </strong>in Carlsbad, California is <strong>Grand Pacific Palisades</strong>, a spectacularly luxurious resort know for it&#8217;s breathtaking views of beautiful Pacific sunsets.</p>
<p>The rate card at the front counter showed rooms around $300 per night for a week&#8217;s stay in December. Our <strong>old Crown Resort </strong>member&#8217;s price is only $699 - a $2,000 savings, and a $4,000 discount for a two week stay. How can you beat that?</p>
<p><strong>Grand Pacific Palisades</strong> has a wonderful Olympic size swimming pool with accompanying hot tub, a grand ballroom, a palacial lobby, and a <strong>Karl Strauss Brewery </strong>restaurant on the grounds.  <strong>Legoland</strong> is a great place to take the kids for a day or two and it&#8217;s literally a three minute drive around the other side of the hill.</p>
<p>The <strong>Carlsbad Flower Fields</strong> are just amazing when they are in bloom.  There are acres upon acres of flowers being grown here and the colors can be dazzling.  Unfortunately for me, while I was there they had just replanted for the winter crop.</p>
<p>The view from <strong>Grand Pacific Palisades </strong>is truly spectacular.  This resort is located high up on a hill a couple miles from the <strong>Pacific Ocean</strong> and <strong>Carlsbad State Beach</strong> giving a near 180-degree panorama of the water.  The sunsets are just amazing from up here.</p>
<p>Here are some photos of<strong> Grand Pacific Palisades</strong> which I took during my visit there in December.</p>
