"Now go home and create your own economy," were the parting words of JR Ridinger, CEO of Market America at the conclusion of the four day MA World Conference 2013 earlier in January, Miami, Florida.
Now you may ask, how does creating your own economy got to do with a collaborative economy? It is precisely this individual effort coupled with a deep desire to succeed in creating one's own economy that propels one to collaborate with others to build a business with a compensation plan unlike others. This compensation plan promotes and rewards collaboration rather than competition. It is the collaborative enterprise Market America promotes that has enabled thousands of small entrepreneurs to succeed.
Not only has JR provided the tools for small entrepreneurs to succeed but his compensation plan provides a powerful incentive to work together. His words, "No one can do everything but everyone can do something," and "you succeed when you help others succeed," are good advice for anyone looking to create their own path to financial and time freedom, knowing that they are not working alone.
J Paul Getty, the oil billionaire, said these words which affirm collaboration, “I’d rather have one percent of the efforts of 100 people than 100 percent of my own efforts.” Clearly, he understood what collaboration meant even back then in the 1960s.
Working collaboratively and dilligently, you will not only have no money worries, you will have time as well as location freedom! It is the ultimate freedom when one can work from anywhere in the world. Imagine that!
