Having tried all the companies and all the "ideas" over the past 20 plus years, I'd like to add this: One key that is required for true long term residual income though: **Make sure that your product or service is the best "value proposition" in your category. In other words: Make sure your customers get more back in value than they pay out in cash, and that they can't get the same or better elsewhere for less. Do this and stay consistent and your family, for generations to come, will thank you. Stick and stay-You'll get your pay. Mike T
