[{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Article","datePublished":"2017-03-25","articleBody":"You\u2019ve seen the pretty women and their emoji-laden posts lauding the praises of It Works!\u00ae Global.  But are they actually making money?  I\u2019ll tell you what I think, and you tell me what you think!  Oh, and before we begin, let me make this disclosure: I have no skin in the game here.  I\u2019m a dude who couldn\u2019t care less about body wraps.  The only wrap I\u2019ve been caring about lately is McDonald\u2019s Sweet Chili Signature McWrap.  I do not know anybody with an It Works business, and I do not make any money from It Works for this article.  I simply felt like doing some research into a business phenomenon involving women of my generation that I\u2019ve seen sweeping social media simply because I love Millennial entrepreneurship!  So here\u2019s the short answer: Just Like Any Business, Some Are Making Money, and Some Aren\u2019t. So my entrepreneurial venture is blogging, and I\u2019ve done pretty well with it.  But there are obviously bloggers who are losing money every month.  It\u2019s the same story in virtually every industry on the planet; there are winners, and there are losers.  And the beauty of entrepreneurship is that you create your own destiny.  It Works is no different, and a good thing about It Works in particular is that, unlike other industries, it is required to disclose its income statistics so you can see exactly what you\u2019re getting into.  And I know what you\u2019re thinking: it\u2019s only a few at the top who are making any real money right?  Wrong!  Take a look at the disclosure statement for It Works.  Even at the Ruby level \u2013 third from the bottom \u2013 you have some people taking home over $60,000 per year.  And at the Emerald level \u2013 one up from Ruby \u2013 you have some people taking home almost $170,000 per year.  It Works!  And I don\u2019t know about you, but $170,000 per year is certainly \u201creal money\u201d to me.  It\u2019s definitely more than I make at my corporate job.  And it just goes up from there: the next level you have people making $200,000+; you have people at the next level making almost $400,000; and obviously at the very top you have people clearing $1,000,000 \u2013 $2,300,000.  Entrepreneurship Is The #1 Way to Take Control of Your Financial Future. I say it over and over on this blog: you need to find a way to make money for yourself.  Not for your company.  Not for your boss.  For you.  That is the only way that you will find the financial freedom you crave and the lifestyle you desire.  That\u2019s the entire reason this blog exists: because I wanted to create a business that is able to make me as much money as I am willing to work for.  There\u2019s no salary limit on your own business, and the only person you have to ask for a raise from is yourself.  And These Women Are Doing It. Although I\u2019m not sure if It Works brands itself as a \u201cfranchise\u201d, that\u2019s essentially what it is: a virtual franchise.  And that\u2019s beautiful.  Because franchises are an amazing way to jumpstart entrepreneurship.  The system\u2019s already in place for you \u2014 whether\u2019s it\u2019s a McDonald\u2019s franchise or an It Works sign-up \u2014 all you have to do is put in the work.  With every party they throw or product they sell or downline they bring on these women are claiming their share of the American dream.  They are building a stream of income for themselves and for their family in ways that most people in this country aren\u2019t. Instead of watching TV, they\u2019re building their business.  Instead of idly chatting with their neighbors, they\u2019re promoting their brand.  Instead of wasting time on Facebook, they\u2019re using this powerful social media platform to get ahead.   And I for one am happy to see the women of my generation \u2014 Millennials like me \u2014 who are redeeming their time on social media for themselves and for their families.  So post on, my body-wrapping sisters.
