[H1366]How To Make A Really Good Paper Airplane
by Josh Neumann, Jos

If you are looking for the right network marketing opportunity, chances are you've come across the Passport To Wealth. This is one of the new breed of network marketing companies, where the marketing is done mostly online, and instead of selling twenty dollar health products, you are marketing high end information products.

The good thing about this is, it doesn't take a lot of sales to make some serious money. The bad thing is, it is much harder to make a sale in the first place.

I know it's challenging based on experience, but definitely not impossible. There are people in this industry making six figures and more a month, but it obviously takes a lot of effort to get to that level.

So having said that, what about Passport to Wealth? Should you get involved with this company? Here is some quick background about the firm to help you determine this. The company was started by Darren Gaudry, who is one of the top network marketing experts around, so at least it's in good hands.

The compensation plan is a two up system, like so many today, and this is nothing new. The company will try and tell you their comp plan is the greatest thing since sliced bread, but the reality is, many companies have used this and it's very difficult or beginners to make money with.

In fact, I would venture to say, based on personal experience, that this is one of the harder systems to get out of the starting gate with, since you don't make a dime until your third sale. This might sound like a big deal, but oftentimes it will cost you over a thousand dollars to make two sales, since you are going to be new and just learning the system.

Therefore this is why people who succeed with these businesses are those who are either already making a lot of money that they can reinvest in this business, or they have put aside a good amount of capital for a start up.

Of course, after you make your first two sales, it's pretty nice, because then everybody you bring in will be handing you their first two sales. One of the things about this is, you can actually then help the people you've brought in get qualified (make their two sales) by calling their leads for them on their expense, since they will be paying for the leads.

In effect, you are getting free leads, and once you have a good sized downline generating consistent leads, you will never have to pay a dime for leads again. True, some people will want to call their leads for practice, but a good percentage will not, so take advantage of those opportunities.

This is a secret many of the top network marketers is, is they make all their money through referrals once they get a solid team below them. Once they make those two sales, then those people are in your down line, and then the two people they both bring aboard (assuming they make at least two sales) get put in your down line.

Therefore, it doesn't take a whole lot of people below you to start making money, and if you do get involved with the Passport To Wealth, I'd definitely suggest you do this.

What kind of product does the Passport To Wealth have? It's mostly software and info on making money, which is certainly not unique. In fact, many other network marketing companies market similar products.

The truth is, they are high quality products, but they are not worth the one thousand dollars Passport To Wealth sells them for. However, this is nothing new among network marketing companies. Most of them sell average products for very high prices, although the product is still relatively high quality.


"What all do I have to know to be a really good piano player?"

The trouble with a question like that is that it ignores individual differences such as talent, motivation, freedom to practice, and a hundred other variables.

How much did Mozart have to know? How much did Erroll Garner know? Mozart could play far better than I can when he was 3. And Garner was barred from joining the musicians union because he couldn't read music.

Does that mean I don't have to practice, since Mozart could do it without practice? Does that mean I shouldn't learn how to read music since Garner couldn't, and it sure didn't stop him.

Obviously, no.

I wish I had the talent of a Garner or a Mozart, but I don't. Nowhere close. But God gave me some talent, and it's that talent that I need to develop to it's maximum.

Same with you, unless you're in a class with those guys, in which case you certainly don't need me.

Back when I operated Piano University & Keyboard Workshop, we had a list of skills that we attempted to inculcate into our students, at least to some degree. Here is that list:

Technique -- the ability of your hands to do what your brain tells them to do.

Fingering -- which finger goes where, and why, and when.

Chords -- How chords are formed and all the variations from major chords to minor chords, diminished chords, augmented chords, and all the extensions such as 7th chords, 6th chords, minor 7th chords, 9th, 11th, and 13 chords, plus suspensions and alterations including flat 5ths, flat 9ths, etc.

Scales -- How a major scale is formed from whole steps and half steps. How the 3 forms of minor scales -- natural, melodic & harmonic -- are formed. How the modal scales such as Dorian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aolian, etc. are formed. How chromatic and whole tone scales are formed.

Ear Training -- Developing the ability to hear intervals from 2nds to 9ths; developing the ability to hear chord types and recognize them; developing relative pitch.

Music Theory -- Understanding form in music, figured bass, notation, rhythm, etc., and how it all works together.

Sight Reading -- The ability to read a piece of written sheet music at sight and transfer that knowledge to the keyboard.

Rhythm -- The ability to understand meter and time signatures and note values; later the ability to recognize different rhythm patterns such as sambas,
swing, mambo, bossa nova, and many more.

Styles -- The ability to add styles such as Alberti Bass, Country-Western, jazz, gospel, etc. to songs.

Runs & Fills -- The ability to add broken chords of various kinds as fillers; straddles, waterfalls, tremelo-fired runs, echos, counter-melodies, etc.

Transposition -- The ability to play a song in a different key than it was originally written.

Modulation -- The ability to move from one key to another smoothly.

Accompanying -- The knowledge of how to "wrap chords" around a soloist so that the soloist feels supported.

Repertoire -- Creating a list of songs one can play at a moments notice without reference to the written music.

Improvisation -- The ability to make up music as you go along.

Arranging -- The ability to put your own special interpretaion on a song by playing it in your own way.

Pedaling -- The ability to pedal judiciously so that your playing is smooth but not muddled.

Dynamics -- The skill of playing at different levels of volume so that the song carries interest.

Feeling & emotion -- The ability to plug-in your own feelings into a song so that the listener feels what you feel.

This is not an exhaustive list by any means, but it's a start. So as you play and practice, think about each of these areas individually, and focus on improving them one at a time.
