Phylicia Rashad

Here are some more information for Phylicia Rashad:

I was talking with a friend about recent trends developing out of the economic crisis, including the trend toward home-based business opportunities, when I was reminded of an episode of The Cosby Show. Middle-child Vanessa (Tempestt Bledsoe) had just told her parents that she'd gotten into a fight at school that day because another student was taunting her about being a rich kid. Cliff (Bill Cosby), replied to his daughter, "No, see, you're not rich. Your mother and I, we're rich."

Claire (Phylicia Rashad) turned to Cliff and said, "Honey, we're not rich."

"We're not?"

"No. Rich people have money working for them. We work very hard for our money."

Here were two professionals, a doctor and a lawyer, sitting down with their daughter explaining the difference between the rich and the rest of us. Remember, this was back in the late 1980s, around the time of the decline and fall of the savings-and-loan industry, and the subsequent government bailout.

What Clair Huxtable was telling Cliff, was that if they stopped working, for whatever reason, the money would stop coming in. Millions of Americans are facing that grim reality right now. They worked hard for their money thinking they were safe in their jobs. Most didn't have a Plan B and were caught completely unprepared for the current economic crisis.

In one of his many recordings, Tim Sales self-made millionaire, spoke to this lack of preparedness when he described what people do with their money on payday. The poor spend their money on "stuff" and rationalize that it was cheap or a bargain, then they live for the next paycheck. The middle-class spend their money on liabilities, a new house (yes, it's a liability...look around), cars, gym memberships, things that add to their monthly payments and also cause them to live paycheck to paycheck. The rich buy assets that make money. They own what they do. This is the only way to financial freedom.

Many who once considered network marketing akin to street hustling pyramid or ponzi schemes, are now turning to it as a viable option for rebuilding their financial futures. For a few hundred dollars they can purchase a network marketing business, an asset that makes money, and begin to leverage their time and money to make more money.

The popularity of home-based business is arising from the convergence of a bad economy, emerging new technologies, and a paradigm shift in the industry. The Internet allows you to network and build business relationships with like-minded people around the world in a way that was never before possible, while making money online.

The new paradigm of attraction marketing , whose core principle is attracting and developing business relationships by bringing value to the marketplace, has replaced old school network marketing strategies of chasing friends and family. These two trends have made owning a network marketing business more palatable to the new professional.

High profile business experts agree that a generation ago the safe path was to go to school, get a good education and a good job. Going into business was risky. Now, it's just the opposite. A recent Fortune magazine cover story was titled, "50 and Fired is Bad Enough, but Now Out-of-Work Execs are Facing a Permanent Vacation." The article went on to say, "Forget your paycheck. It's a 1099 world now."

Steven Covey, best-selling author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People says that there are several advantages to starting a home business opportunity. There are no specific education requirements, you don't need a business background, there's no glass ceiling to what you can earn, and there's no discrimination. He goes on to say, "Direct selling is an entrepreneurial opportunity where people can use their talent and their passion toward the greater good."

Robert Kiyosaki, bestselling author of the Rich Dad, Poor Dad series, has written a book called The Business School for People Who Like Helping People. He likens network marketing to getting a free business education. Kiyosaki said in a recent interview that if he and his wife Kim were to wake up one morning and be completely broke it wouldn't matter, because they had the knowledge and skills to build wealth again. That is the power of a practical, hands-on business education within a network marketing business. Kiyosaki says, "Home based business is not the wave of the future, it's the wave of the present."
