The best, Business Systems Work and They Work Very Well
Success is not that too hard to achieve in today's connected world, there are so many opportunities, so many ways to achieve success online.
A formula.
- Read something, do a short course, there are plenty online.
- Get an idea, preferably one of those light bulb ones.
- Do a little networking, social media is a good place to start.
- Success is waiting for you at the end of the week.
An overnight success affair.
This is the consensus or what most folks think success looks like.
I think there are a few of us that could identify with this one, success can be an overnight happening, observation tells me that if it is then it is a fleeting thing, that can vanish as quickly as it arrived.
It is so enjoyable, reading about folks that have stepped out, slogged it out, fallen out, tipped over, ended up flat out, only to rise again and again. It is as though we can share in the journey offer support and take home some motivation and inspiration, so cool.
See a bit of that around these parts.
Driving past the big yellow today, I started reflecting, 80 % of McDonald's restaurants are owned by owner-operators, they operate in 120 countries around the world, employ about 375,000 people and worldwide there are about 36,899 restaurants.
Got it from a fortune cookie!
McDonalds are a real American success story, something to be admired.
The story of the rise and rise of McDonald is a business legend and it shows no signs of abating anytime soon.
What does it cost,
Most folks it seems to start out buying an existing restaurant, which can cost on the low end 950,000 to 2.2 million, ballpark figures. The franchise needs liquid capital of 750,000 and also you pay a franchise fee of 45,000.
Eye-watering figures and so is the turnover.
A sure thing, a sure bet a solid gold investment.
And you know what someone famous said about investments,
If its raining gold, don't stick out a thimble, put the biggest blow-up swimming pool that you can find out in your backyard, it doesn't rain gold very often, make the most of the opportunity.
Looking, it appears to be a well-organized system, routinized training, a systematized product produced in duplicated surroundings with a set cost structure and set pricing structure producing extraordinary results following and never deviating from that golden rule.
Keep it short and simple.
From observation, in today's business world the most successful enterprises seem to follow this practical formula.
Follow the system and it works, in a systematized business structure most failures happen because folks stray from the path and don't follow the system.
Simple works and works really well, for in simplicity there is a real complexity everything has its own reflection of its self.
A oneness
Reflecting on Wealthy Affiliate, we are fortunate to be exposed to a similar business system sure we are not flipping hamburgers but we are following and implementing a system one that is structured it has a set of training's, resources that enable to us to create the business on the ground, a large knowledge base that we can tap into and an excellent community of the like-minded all striving to enhance their lives.
One of the big differences between;
McDonald and Wealthy Affiliate is cost. WA weighing in at an infinitesimal fraction of the cost.
It's not about apples and apples it's about systems and systems.
Thing is systems work and work, very well.
But I think we know that one.
Enjoy developing your business using the Wealthy Affiliate system, training, knowledge, tools, resources support both technical and on that peer to peer level.
All around top-notch.

Hi Joe, thank you for stopping by, systems work they don't have to be complex we can always scale up as we progress. I am glad that you enjoyed the post.
Hi Jeff,
We don't have to get complicated just follow the system, some aspects we take to like a duck to water and some it takes a little longer to get our heads around.
There is no better way to say it;
Plain and simple works.
really like your profile pic, it is awesome.
What a fantastic post. Your quote simple works and works very well is being noted and will refer back to it. Thank you.
Hi Tania, thank you for your kind words, as far as systems go the one that we are immersed in here at Wealthy Affiliate is hard to beat, it is so dynamic and one of the truly great things is that it keeps evolving with new additions and platforms being added on a continuous basis. So as the system evolves here at WA we too can evolve and grow with the system.
Great post Alex.
You don't have to invent the wheel just use it as it was intended. It's amazing how quickly we want to deviate from the system when it's tried and tested.
The reason why franchises like McDonalds work as well as they do is because they don't allow any deviations.
Wealthy Affiliate is the perfect system to learn and be successful with affiliate marketing, As you say one can this for so little in comparison with expensive franchises.
All it takes is the desire and discipline to stay with it and you can't help but be successful.

Thank you for stopping by Mark much appreciated.
What can we say systems work, they lay such good foundations from which to scale from. One of the traps t fall into is too much tweaking, I agree with you if we stay the course results will come.
