Twenty-five years ago, I got involved in Network Marketing. I joined a company that almost everyone has heard of called Amway. Unfortunately, I was building my first insurance business, so I never really put forth much effort. Because of that attempt, I never really considered Network Marketing a viable business opportunity. In fact, I had become very negative about the industry, and was one of those guys that would say there all pyramids and only the people at the top make money. Unfortunately, those perceptions were based upon ignorance and about two and a half years ago I started to open up my mind and take a serious look at options.
The first book I read was The Business School For People Helping Others by Robert Kiyosaki. This book changed my whole paradigm about the Network Marketing Industry and I believe the reason is because I knew that Robert had made his money in the Real Estate Industry and not the Network Marketing Industry. In this book, he discusses for all the trends that have occurred over the past 50 years, and makes a strong case that the Network Marketing Industry will be one of the biggest industries in the next 10-15 years.
The Network Marketing Industry offers advantages that few other business opportunities offer. Our long-term success in life is a reflection of our education, life experience, and our character. One of the huge advantages of the Network Marketing Industry is that it provides personal development training in many of these areas. I’ve heard it said that a good Network Marketing company is a personal development program with a pay plan. The Network Marketing Industry is for people who want to change their lives. It provides an opportunity for people who want to be in the “B” quadrant. It offers the necessary skills and attitude training to be successful in the “B” quadrant.
“During these difficult economic times, there is no doubt that the entrepreneurial spirit of network marketing companies and its sellers helps keep the American dream alive. It is this same spirit that will lift our country out of our current economic crisis. The hard work, tenacity, and boundless energy of our country’s direct sellers never cease to amaze me. We need you more now than ever.”–Sen. Orrin Hatch
Have a awesome day.
