It’s a question I hear a lot.

Usually either after an event or someone who’s followed my story for a while and knows that I spent 5 years struggling before I got full-time and at one point was homeless, living out of my little red Honda Civic. 

“Matt, how does it feel to have ‘made it’?”

Well, first off, I don’t feel like I’ve ‘made it’ because I feel like I still have so much farther to go. 

But in general, it’s about like I figured it would be.

• Freedom is freaking awesome.
• Sure there are leadership issues.
• Sure I’ve had plenty of ups and downs.
• Sure you have bigger challenges when you take on a major leadership role.

I’m human so I’ll admit that, after a decade of being a millionaire, sometimes I take it for granted. But thankfully I’m pretty good at reminding myself how good I have it and I kick myself in the ass for bitching.

We all know the dream…

Work hard for 2-5 years and create a full-time “retirement” level income.

True story:

I had the opportunity to sit down with an Amway Diamond almost 20 years ago. He had worked really hard for about 10 years and then he went into semi-retirement mode. He told me he hadn’t personally sponsored anyone in 10 years and he still earned a couple hundred thousand a year in residual income.

I remember thinking… Man if he had just kept going, he could be at over $1 million a year!

Why Improving Your Skills is a Great Investment?

Let’s be super honest with each other…

It takes a hell of a lot of knowledge to become a top earner. It takes a hell of a lot of work too, but if you work without knowledge, you’re just a hard-working idiot.

The formula is pretty simple.

S = F.V. x E x S

Your wealth/success is equal to your financial vehicle multiplied by your effort multiplied by your skill.

Have you ever thought to yourself, I’m just never going to get good at network marketing?

If so, you and I are kindred spirits.

I spent my first few years SO frustrated.

So disheartened.

So paralyzed with fear.

So down on myself feeling defeated.

So torn inside – do I give up or keep going?

At times I got angry. At times I got sad. At times I wanted to cry… sometimes I did.

You’ve Likely Already Done What It Takes to Become a Top Earner

Don’t discount what I’m about to teach you…

Have you enrolled one other person into your downline?

If you have, you’ve already done what’s necessary to become a top earner in your company…

You just haven’t done it enough times.

I don’t know how many you’ll have to enroll – it might be 30, it might be 300. But what it takes to become a top earner is continuing to enroll one more person.

“But Matt… it can’t be that simple.”
