Mr. Mom, Version 2.0

In the early 80’s Hollywood released a film that raised eyebrows, became a piece of Americana and launched a catch-phrase which remains relevant almost three decades later – “Mr. Mom.”

For those who’ve never seen the classic comedy, it’s all about role reversal.
The film stars Michael Keaton as Jack, a father of three who gets laid off from his engineering position at the local auto factory. While Jack comes to terms with unemployment, wife Caroline, played by Teri Garr, lands a job at an ad agency, forcing Jack to become a stay-at-home dad while mom dons the work suit. Of course, hilarity ensues as he tries to adjust to the crazy world of toddler-dom and the new title of househusband.

When “Mr. Mom” was released, the subject of a dad staying at home while his wife pursued her career was taboo. It was a small, secret society where members were constantly looking for a way out while hiding in the afternoon work shadows. Today, that notion is as outdated as a mini-cassette answering machine.

Whether by their own personal choice or a shaky economy, more men are finding themselves at home taking care of the kids and adopting to a new lifestyle. In fact, this new generation of stay-at-home dads has almost doubled in a decade, according to the Census Bureau. For some, leaving their corporate jobs behind is the kick-start of turning their home business dream into reality. No doubt today’s technology makes it a whole lot easier to start a home-based business for a little (or big) residual income. Just because mom may be the key breadwinner doesn’t mean these “Mr. Moms” can’t earn extra money.

Being a self-employed, stay-at-home parent has huge benefits (set your own hours, no commute, spend quality time with your children, be your own boss, etc.). In some cases, it makes the most financial sense, as hiring a nanny or paying for daycare can take up a large amount of one’s paycheck. And, with online support for stay-at-home dads and home businesses, the opportunity to build residual income, even on a part-time basis, is a no-brainer.

One thing’s for sure. Gone are the days of hiding inside for stay-at-home pops. They’re making themselves known and giving new meaning to the phrase “Mr. Mom.” Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the new man about the house.

The Next Generation of Residual Income: How NXGEN Ambassadors is Changing the Game

In case you haven't already noticed, NXGEN Ambassadors is truly changing the game of the credit card and payment services industry. In the past only trained account consultants and connected industry professionals were allowed to get in on the payment services industry.

They raked in sometimes 6-7 figure incomes with little to no competition and guaranteed regional territories. NXGEN Payment Services saw a flaw in that system and decided to provide an alternative. Why should only trained professionals be allowed to benefit from the lucrative credit card processing world when almost everyone out there has some connection to it? You see, NXGEN Payment Services is one of the few companies out there who has experienced growth while lowering profit margins, in other words - more companies signed with NXGEN while NXGEN continually lowered rates. This might seem like a no brainer but you have to ask yourself why other companies have not been able to do the same? The reason is NXGEN's industry leading services and honest way of doing business.


NXGEN has proprietary softwares that tracks each and every merchant's processing accounts while telling them exactly what they are paying and how they can save money. Business owners can access this software remotely from anywhere in the world via the internet, instead of sending cryptic statements that hide fees and confuse the merchant - NXGEN has brought a transparency that was unheard of before and still not matched.


NXGEN has changed the industry by creating in house departments for all aspects of the business including; technical support, customer service, statement analysis and sales. This means whether you are an Account Consultant, NXGEN Ambassador or Merchant you can call NXGEN and be directly connected to a specialist who knows exactly how to help you.


NXGEN has changed the residuals game by increasing the amount of potential residual recipients while giving sales forces and teams a myriad of different ways to get paid. Want limited responsible and follow up with merchants? Done. Want MORE responsibility and therefore more commission? Done. Because NXGEN is privately held yet large enough to negotiate its structures it stands alone in the industry.


NXGEN is going international. Over the past few years NXGEN has started processing in Canada, just launched in the UK and is poised to open in Italy, Eastern Europe, South America, Asia and Australia. Come with us as we spread this new way of doing business in the Payment Services Industry across the globe!


It's really quite simple - low rates, great service, honest business and a belief that everyone should have a chance to earn residual income is why NXGEN and NXGEN Ambassadors is poised to truly change the game forever. Join now to make your contribution and start on your path to residual income and financial freedom without having quitting your day job (unless you want to of course ;)
