The foundation of Network Marketing adheres to a basic & fundamental tenet: goods & services can be better sold face-to-face, without stores or middlemen.

The industry has its genesis in the early 1900’s and has become popular and viable through many companies such as Amway, etc.. Companies started out selling door to door with varying degrees of success.

The Internet era hasn’t done much to change this. However, the Web has been revolutionary in changing the industry’s marketing & distribution practices. That innovation has made it faster & less costly for legitimate Network Marketing companies to garner the attention of potential customers & business partners.

Unfortunately, the Internet has also opened the doors & made it easier for illegal companies, mostly the skilled perpetrators of pyramid schemes & associated scams, to get in the face of customers as well. Many of these scam artisans portray themselves as honest to goodness Network Marketers.

If you’re interested in seeking a potentially lucrative industry from which to build your own business, read on. You’ll find some background on Network Marketing, as well as eight tips to help you distinguish a legitimate business opportunity from a fraud.

First, let’s give some background on Network Marketing, aka, Multi Level Marketing (many folks use the term interchangeably).

Among its founding principles:

• A direct selling process lets distributors of certain products “educate” consumers more successfully (and more economically) on the products’ merits than catchy TV ads or fancy store displays.
• Customers who are sold on a certain product can be motivated to sell it themselves, and to recruit others to become sellers as well (forming a business over time).
• Sellers will have an incentive to sell and to recruit others, as they’ll be paid commissions both on their own sales and their recruits’ sales. In other words, the earlier you get in to the network, the more money you can make
• Last, but not least, success is not guaranteed, and only the best products and services, and well trained Network Marketers , will survive in the business.

Amway built a multi-billion-dollar business on these basic premises. In the late 1970s, it successfully fought off claims by the federal government that it was an illegal pyramid scheme. In prevailing in court, Amway proved the key test of a legitimate business, that even the last person recruited into its networks can make money. (In a pyramid scheme, large numbers of people at the bottom end up paying money to only a few people at the top.)

Today, legitimate Network Marketing companies span the globe, with several hundred in the U.S., including recognizable names such as Avon, Mary Kay, NuSkin, Unicity Network (formerly Rexall), Arbonne, Herbalife, & Nature’s Sunshine. Companies such as Microsoft, Apple, & even Donald Trump are ready to launch their own Network Marketing ventures. The products they sell range from vitamins and weight-loss plans to skin-care lotions to software, legal plans, and even dental insurance. Together, Network Marketing companies have generated billions in  U.S. sales annually, according to the Direct Selling Association (DSA), a lobbying association that represents Network Marketers and other companies who sell directly to consumers.

But just how pervasive is fraud in the industry? More pervasive than ever before, say many industry experts, although the Federal Trade Commission does not have statistics to quantify the impact. “I can tell you that, in the last 10 years, with the growth of the Internet, we have seen a significant growth in the number of apparent pyramid schemes,” says Jim Kohm, the FTC’s assistant director of marketing practices.

The low cost of entry into the industry long has encouraged scam artists. But the Internet has enabled them to market their schemes to consumers as successfully as it has legitimate network marketers, Kohm says. Technology has proven to be a two-edged sword.

8 Fraud Detectors

So how can you tell a scam or a shady business from a legitimate money-making opportunity? Here are eight things to consider before you take the plunge.

1. Make sure that a solid product or service figures prominently in the business. Sounds easy really, but in many pyramid schemes, the product or service is a mere “fig leaf” to an illegal source of revenue. Often the signup or membership fees required are just to join a network(Most will never see their money again). Be convinced the product or service is not a gimmick or a throwaway, but one you’d actually buy yourself. An associated scam, the Ponzi scheme, involves no products at all, but rather promises of investment or insurance windfalls. Most Network Marketers do charge a nominal signup fee of $30 to $60. But if there is no product being sold, keep your money & run, don’t be swayed by the “benefits” of becoming part of a “network”.

2. Confirm that the commission structure is supported by product sales. Note that you are not becoming an “employee,” but rather an independent business operator earning sales commissions. In illegal businesses, you can sell well but have your commissions diluted by other costs or obligations. For example, the FTC shut down a Las Vegas-based company operating in eight states, because it required participants to pay excessively for seminars and desk space. Only a handful ever made any money. Ask the company how much of their revenue goes back to the distributors. Many companies only pay out 10-30% of their revenues. Some of the better companies pay out 40-50%

3. Don’t pay more than $500 in initial “buy-in” costs. Most Network Marketing companies require you to buy a certain amount of product to get started. If joining the company means you have to buy $500 in products or services, or if you see excessive product inventory costs, again, watch out. If you are asked to fork over money without getting any product at all, flee as fast as you can.

4. Beware of high earnings claims. Many convicted pyramid schemers have been charged with misrepresenting the potential earnings of participants. You should expect reasonable commissions and growth opportunities, but nothing grandiose. Be wary of inordinate product and earnings hype. A rule of thumb: If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Extraordinary commissions often can be made, but not until the work has been done, like any business. Get rich quick? Need I say more?

5. Don’t participate unless the company is willing to buy back inventory. Many scams, and even some legitimate businesses, will refuse to buy back the leftover inventory you’ve purchased if you decide that Network Marketing is not for you. In its membership requirements, the DSA mandates that Network Marketers be willing to buy back unused inventory, for at least 90% of the sale price, within a year of the sale.

6. Find out if the network marketer is a DSA member. The nine-decade-old association is the closest thing to a governing body for Network Marketers. The Direct Selling Association (www.dsa.org) has about 200 U.S. member companies and some 50 others undergoing an intense application process for membership, says Joseph Mariano, executive vice president and legal counsel. All members are listed on its Web site. While less than half the U.S. Network Marketers are members, if the company you’re interested in is a member, that’s a good sign.

7. Find out how long the company has been in business. At least 90% of all Network Marketers fail within three years. About 80% fail within the first year. If the company you’re interested in has been around for more than three years, it is likely not only legitimate, but viable.

8. Do your due diligence. While you want to stay away from scam artists, you also want to avoid wasting time and money with a loser company. Many companies in the Network Marketing industry are legitimate, but not necessarily viable due to factors that beset companies in all industries. The FTC has been quick to identify and act on the companies engaging in illegal practices. Unfortunately, at times, it takes a number of people to be swindled before the problem surfaces.

So, in short, the Network Marketing industry is a strong & viable business model for many. However, like any other business venture, one must do the necessary research on the company, as well as those you will be working with. Who are your mentors? Do they really know their heads form their derrieres? Will the company open the books & show who they are, or will they hide behind some cloak of secrecy?

It’s all about choices my friends. I’ve chosen well with the company I represent, Synergy Worldwide, by following the guidelines afore mentioned. Will you? Need help? Contact me & we’ll talk.

The difference? One may say “I want to be a doctor”, but what they really mean (the reason why) is that they want to heal the sick. They know what they want, but more importantly, WHY. Often times they’re willing to do whatever it takes to fulfill their WHY.

What do you want out of life? If your answer to that question is, “I want to make a lot of money”, well, how do you plan on accomplishing that? Making lots of money is not a clearly defined goal! It’s not even a real WHY, the thing that’s going to keep you going, the thing that lights your fire, the thing that gives you the enthusiasm & commitment to keep going no matter what.

Here are a few questions to ask yourself:

Do you really like your job?

Do you like the people you work with?…..Work for?

Do you have a hobby or pastime you really enjoy? Enough time to pursue it?

What makes you feel really good?

What gets you excited, enthusiastic?

If you had all the money in the world, what would you do with it?

What problem scares the dickens out of you, that more money could solve?

If you had all the free time in the world, what would you do?

Other than making more money, what do you really want to accomplish?

How do you feel about yourself right now, doing what you’re doing?

Does it feel good to help someone else?

What tugs on your emotional  side, even anger?

Out of all the things in the world, what would you like to give your family the most?

What would motivate you to get your butt off the couch, & get moving towards your goals?

There’s a list of the “WHYS” we all have to justify why we are doing what we are doing. For many of us, the problem with our current list of “WHYS” is that they don’t afford us the happiness, security, & satisfaction we seek in life. See if these don’t ring a bell:

It’s the only job I could find right now…..what else was I supposed to do?

My dad was a doctor….. he expected me to be one.

No one in my family has ever made a lot of money…..it’s in our DNA

You have to be very lucky to make a lot of money.

If it were my decision, I’d work at home, but I need the money now, I don’t have time to build & wait.

I don’t know how to do anything else.

Going back to school takes too long & costs too much.

I have to work, so sometimes I miss family activities. I don’t have a choice. What else could I do?

Obviously, I could go on & on, but I think you get the idea.

Why not put together a new list of “WHYS” & put an action plan together to make them happen.

For example:

John wants to have more time with the family so he can enjoy the children while they’re growing up

He also feels good when he’s helping people, especially when he’s teaching people how to do something.

He’s mortified these days about not being able to pay the bills.

His job is “ho hum”, no excitement, no challenge. People at work are unpleasant. Pay stinks.

He would love to travel. Traveling to different countries & places would be exciting & invigorate the marriage & family. But there’s no time to travel.

 John’s “WHYS”

I want to spend more quality time with my children, enjoying their childhood.

I want the time to help others learn new things, things that would better their lives.

I want the income that will meet my needs.

I want a career with flexible hours & the pay necessary to do the things I want to do.

I want the time & income to be able to travel frequently.

Once you have a clear focus on what your “WHYS” are, keep them visible. These “WHYS” are what will give the motivation necessary to take action & to do WHATEVER IT TAKES to be successful in what you decide to do.

The “WHYS” are really what it’s all about. It’s the “DRIVE” to keep you going so you don’t give up.

Contact me with your “WHYS”.  Together we’ll go over them & find ways to fulfill them.

The choice really is yours. Choose wisely.

To your success,

Be Authentic

Don’t try & be someone you’re not. Be yourself. Be vulnerable & straightforward, no hidden agenda’s needed. Anyone can get exposure & attention through the Internet, the key is holding that attention. That is done through authenticity.

Be Unique & Set Yourself Apart in The Market

Understand the things that make you different & portray the uniqueness on the web through your videos, writing style, storytelling, web presence, images, or whatever else you have to set yourself apart from others.

Be a Leader & Show Forth Confidence

Build on your own charisma, confidence, & leadership that people are looking for in everything that you do. You must be aware of how you speak, how you present yourself, the clothes you wear, & the tone & pace of your voice that exude the certainty & conviction in what you’re doing. Certainty & leadership are the two most powerful ways to communicate with people.

You don’t have to have the money to become a leader. Internet marketing is a crowded place. You need to get people’s attention, & when you get it, you need to know how to hold onto it, grow it, & build it into something bigger.

Well, How Do I Get That Confidence, That Certainty?

Some of you may have a problem in this area that you need to address. You realize you need those qualities in you, & may believe you have them, but haven’t had a lot of practice at portraying that to others. You need to improve those skills by learning, knowledge, practice, & experiences.

Perhaps you need to change something physically in your life that backs the process up. Come out of your shell, make a sacrifice. Go to a nice store, get a personal hairdresser, and get a complete makeover. I learned a long time ago that how you feel about your appearance can be a big deal. If you’re going to be a professional, look & feel the part. The vibe will translate to a better feeling & confidence on the other side.

Most Network Marketers want to know the exact words to say, step by step, when marketing their business, but never have the desire to pass through the training period. That’s largely due to people not wanting to take responsibility for their success, or more commonly, because they’re flat out lazy. If it doesn’t work, they don’t have to blame themselves, they can blame the system.

There’s only one type of person that makes money & truly succeeds online in this industry, & those are leaders. There is no magic website, no magic phone script, and no magic pill to swallow. Albeit these “systems” may work for awhile, they ultimately fail because you don’t grow as a person, don’t gain new skills, or become a different kind of person.

Some have this idea of a leader, as someone tall, suave guy in a suit, running around making commands to his underlings. Needless to say, you can be a leader in your own way. There are certain characteristics you need to display, but it has little to do with what you look like physically. It’s more about how you see yourself & how people see you. Life is kind of a game of follow the leader, & the big tall guys aren’t always at the front of the line. People are hungry to follow people with certainty in where they’re going. One doesn’t need a graduate from an Ivy League school, or the or have the tutelage of some guru marketing guy.

What you do need is certainty in what you’re doing & where you’re going. You need to add value to the market & declare yourself a leader. But it must be authentic. You must be converted yourself. It’s important to know that you have to be conscious of the image you portray because people will judge you by the image you display, & I don’t mean false image which can be very counter-productive.  Remember, you need to be the real deal. Authenticity is crucial if you want longevity in this business. People naturally gravitate to authenticity

If you believe in yourself, & have others around you that believe in you. If you’re authentic. If you’re certain as to where you’re going. If you have the right system in place, tailored to take advantage of your strengths, well, there’s a pile of dough & freedom for you in this industry. Unlike any other industry out there! But it does take commitment. Milk toast players need not apply because it will be a miserable experience for you.

Are you a leader? Is it about time? Contact me, we’ll talk.

It’s all about choices.

Having no track record is VERY risky, especially in today’s economy, and most financial institutions can’t / don’t want to take on this level of risk, and they certainly don’t want you “practicing” on them. You may find someone to fund your project, but it will normally be a private interest at a very high interest rate. Ever heard of Guido & Vinny?

So what’s the point? You need some kind of proof, SOCIAL PROOF, in order to establish yourself as a legitimate, sound, & worthwhile entity. Pre-launch or “ground floor” opportunities are often nothing more than guinea pig or science experiments. Is it any wonder then why many go down in flames?

What is social proof you might ask? It’s a combination of third party references that can point to credentials, successes, and genuine stability in a company or endeavor. This type of proof only comes with time. It doesn’t matter who the founders are, the “big name” that endorses it, or even the potential of the world changing product or service. Without social proof, you are rolling the dice and would probably have better odds in Vegas of success.

Here’s a quick history lesson on the MLM/Network Marketing Industry:
-The industry of MLM/Network Marketing is over 120 years old
-In this same time period, there have been over 40,000 MLM/Network Marketing companies started
-Out of the 40,000 that have been started, only 4,800 remain in the marketplace
-Of those 4,800 companies, only 8 have managed to reach 1 billion in sales
-The “icons” of the MLM industry, and those who have been able to sustain themselves long –term, offer consumable goods, rather than services, volatile goods (i.e. coins), or travel.

So, a close examination of the numbers reveals that approximately 1% of all Network Marketing companies actually make it.

Now don’t get me wrong, Network Marketing is a great opportunity & there are obviously many companies doing a great job & have been doing so for quite some time. But you must be careful none the less. These numbers are not wholly inconsistent with business in general. Most startup companies fail whether in Network Marketing or not. It’s the nature of the beast. But as with any investment, you must carefully weigh the facts & the risks.

But what if you heard of a company that was ranked among the fastest growing companies in America, a company backed by one of the largest companies in the industry, that had been around for over 37 years with a stellar record as being #1 in the industry for years on end? A company that boasts worldwide sales in over 30 countries, and with over 600,000 distributors? A company that pays out 55% of it’s revenue to it’s distributors? Contact me, & we’ll talk about just such a company.

To feel good about a product or service, a company or pay plan is simply not enough. Look for genuine social proof so that when you get going, you don’t have to look over your shoulder wondering if the company will be there, or if your reputation will be damaged, or what’s going to happen with your career. This is the path to genuine MLM / Network Marketing success. It all comes down to choices we make in business, & life in general. Choose wisely!

To Your Success,

Sounds great doesn’t it? Well it should be & it can be in reality. But there are some pitfalls to avoid & sage advice to keep in mind as you consider investing in a Network Marketing, MLM venture.

Quality Products That Are in Demand

First & foremost, since most companies make money on the sale of product, one should ask if the products would be sold if there was no money making opportunity available. In other words, would you be able to attract customers just based on the product itself?

Are they of superior quality, & priced at least somewhat competitively?

If the company model is to get you & others to buy their product solely to make money, walk away! One of the primary focus’ of the company should be product consumption & that should be promoted within the company. They should be proud of their product.

If you choose a company with excellent products, you’ll be able to make money consistently, all day long with solid customers, residual income coming from happy customers who will give you referrals at every turn.

Compensation plan

The pay plan is incredibly important. Is the plan simple & financially rewarding, or is it complicated & convoluted? In order to be successful, do you need to have several legs?

Marketing System

If your marketing company, & as importantly, your mentor or upline, actually know something about marketing, especially on how to take advantage of the internet, you will make a whole lot more money with less work & heartache.

Do they have a system that you can direct your prospects to? It doesn’t matter where your prospect came from, they must be able to enter their name, email, & phone number onto a capture page & be taken to a professional presentation. An email series should then follow up with them automatically on your behalf. You will follow up with them as well; this is definitely a personal relationship type of business after all. Does your company / mentor provide the training on these matters, or are you left to fend for yourself?

Professionalism

What is the corporate culture like? Try & attend some conference calls, local meetings, webinars, etc. Are their founders & top representatives in those meetings behaving with professionalism? Do they actually sound like they know what they’re talking about, or are they just schmoozing? You might be surprised at just how unprofessional some of these guys are. Be very careful who you align yourself with!

Training

Your sponsor will undoubtedly tell you that “full training & support” is provided. That’s kind of the nature of MLM’s. Often it’s the sponsors that do the training of those they enroll. But how is this done? Is there a focused systematic method of training that allows for the flexibility of your personality & skill sets, so that you will know exactly what you need to do to put cash into your hand in the next week or two? Is there training provided by the company by those who actually know their head from their posterior, rather than just by someone who has just joined the business themselves? Or is it just, “get some customers & you’ll get paid” type of scenario? Who do you have access to for questions & advanced training?

The best case scenario is a corporate training program in place that you can plug your new people into immediately. That’s how you truly leverage your time. Your job isn’t really to train in the initial stages, but rather to develop leadership in yourself & others.

And Finally

Nobody was born a Network Marketer, but fortunately this profession (and yes, it is a profession) has evolved & come into its own, & there are many excellent & qualified mentors who you can, & should “plug into”.

Always be a student & realize that each experience, whether it’s a win, or a failure is part of YOUR business education.

Stay consistent, be persistent, & make your fortune in Network Marketing / MLM.

To your success,

Perhaps you create a few videos, or write a couple of articles & generate a few leads. You post an insightful comment on Twitter & a couple of people Tweet back. You make some comments on a forum & have some people respond & thank you for your contribution.

The trickles grow.

You start generating a lead here & there. Two leads a week. Shortly, it becomes a lead a day, five a week.

Trickles.

With consistent effort, it becomes a few leads a day. Now, all the sudden you have twenty leads.

What is startling is when the trickles grow into rivers.

Get excited about your trickles. Celebrate the trickles.

Just as all the great rivers grow from the tributaries, the trickles, so too will your business.

Just as vibrant life emerged from the barren field in the presence of water, so too will business percolate from your trickles.

So celebrate your trickles. When you start to generate a few leads, shine forth the success to your list. Publish it to a forum. Tell your friends. Grow, broaden, then teach.

Your trickles will grow. They will become a constant, one foot wide stream as you generate a small handful of leads each day. Soon, it will grow into a three foot stream. As your experience & efforts compound, your stream will grow.

Others will help, contributing to your flow. New business partners will join your business, tributaries to your stream. Your business can become strong, flowing forward, supported by powerful players who will teach you & support you.

Business partners who will join your business will produce teaming waters that contribute to your own.

When you make small gains, get the word out. It’s a big part of the process.

Don’t judge yourself too harshly. To those thirsting for water in the desert, your trickle may sustain them.

Don’t compare yourself to those making tens of thousands of dollars a month at first. To someone out of work who needs a home based business, you’ve chosen a home based business, & that’s powerful.

Don’t compare yourself to those generating hundreds of leads per month. To the person who’s never generated a lead, it’s impressive that you’re learning to generate leads, especially given that it doesn’t include badgering your friends & family unnecessarily.

Don’t underestimate the importance of your seemingly small trickles. The favorable email you receive from a reader who appreciated your autoresponder email, the forum reply to a comment you made that inspired someone.

Celebrate your little successes, they WILL cascade.

You must be open to accepting success to attract more of it. Gratitude enhances your ability to receive. Have gratitude for your small successes, they WILL compound.

Somewhere around the next sweeping bend of the river, or perhaps the one beyond that, a wide mighty river is flowing. Follow the stream, follow the flow, & tell of your success loudly.

A mighty river calls you.

Go meet it.

Most are taught how to do things in this industry that just don’t match their personalities. Basically, most are told repeatedly to build lists of family, friends, & associates, but the problem is that most aren’t that social, at least not when it comes to these kinds of things due to the stigma associated w/ most MLM’s.  Don’t get me wrong, most enjoy talking to their family & friends, but it’s a different beast when talking about business opportunities, especially when many have already dabbled in one or two of these & failed.

So how does a person that doesn’t like hanging around shopping malls & business networking events build a massive downline by using warm market lists? Well, they either change their personality (which rarely happens, or works) or they flat out don’t. Most folks like themselves & don’t want to change for a business.

Most don’t define “abundance” as holding home networking meetings 5-7 nights a week. Most however do love the concept of Network Marketing, they love the idea of independence & freedom, they just don’t want to change who they are in order to do it. What if there was a way of sponsoring mass amounts of distributors without changing who you were, & without sacrificing your family time in the process as well?

One often hears leaders of the organizations say that you need to be “duplicatable”. But you know what; most don’t find success in this business until they find a way to do it their way. I’m convinced that the whole “MLM duplication” thing is nothing more than a way for some of these guys to sell their books & tapes. Most that enter into this business are willing to be “duplicatable”. Why then do 90% fail? Mostly because duplication is a ruse! Most in this business are not duplicatable. They have their own style, their own skill sets.

That’s where understanding how to run an online Network Marketing campaign comes in. Rather than relying on a list of family & friends, you can leverage yourself through catching the wave of social interactions that occur 24/7, online.

Now, how do you get involved in the online world of Network Marketing/MLM & become successful? It’s not rocket science. All you have to do is learn how to provide legitimate & lasting value to as many folks as possible, & people will be attracted to working with you naturally. You simply have to learn how to create massive amounts of exposure, & everything else will come easy, & more importantly naturally.

It really is that simple. My system of marketing is way cooler, less invasive, & far more effective than stuffy hotel meetings.

So the question you need to ask yourself: What value can you provide that will set yourself apart? What are your strengths? Are you an analytical type? Good at writing articles? Good at time management? Are you good on the phone? Good at powerful presentations? Good in a social setting? How can you market your business, & have fun at the same time?

Understanding who you are first, will put you miles ahead of your competition, & well on the road to success. Determine what your strengths are & then make a plan to expose the online world to the power of………YOU. By doing so, you’ll be headed in the right direction, & reach your destination far faster than you can even imagine.

If you don’t feel like you have any value to bring to the table, you just haven’t discovered your strengths yet, that’s all. Everybody’s got ‘em.

It doesn’t matter what kind of personality you have. What does matter however, is that you have a very clear cut vision, that you’re willing to work, & that you have a mentor in place  who will work with your strengths to help you reach the heights of success that you’ve always dreamed of. Now don’t misunderstand, you can’t be wimpy about your life & expect to succeed online in your Network Marketing/MLM venture at the same time. If you’re lazy & afraid to take action, this isn’t for you. If you’re expecting to sit around sipping umbrella drinks all day long as you exert only the effort necessary to go to the mailbox to get the checks, there’s a brutal dose of reality lurking around the corner for you.

However, marketing my Network Marketing/MLM business with the system I use has truly been a blessing to me, & it has been revolutionary in the way I operate. The reality is that online marketing isn’t just a great way to market my business; it has proven to be the BEST possible way for ME.

With all this being said, I fully realize this form of marketing may not be for everyone. Some folks will undoubtedly do well by sticking to the more traditional methods, the “old school” way. Some just can’t “deal” with technology and new ideas. Whatever the case, FIND YOUR STRENGTHS & build your business in a way that is comfortable, & as importantly, FUN for YOU. I know this all flies in the face of the whole “duplicatable” mantra that has been around for decades, but again, have you really ever really met a Network Marketing/MLM leader that was leading the lifestyle YOU wanted that was actually a duplicatable person? Not likely. I never have & I’ve run into these guys frequently during my career.

All of them found their unique way to sponsor huge downlines. Duplicatable? Please! If it was so duplicatable, 90% of those getting involved wouldn’t have failed. Network Marketing/MLM’s were never the problem. The basis of their business model is sound (that’s why folks like Trump, Microsoft, Apple, etc. are getting into the Network Marketing/MLM arena). It’s the marketing side that has failed. It’s the robotic mentality.

If you want to learn how to sponsor people with virtually zero resistance, rejection, without calling bogus cold leads every day, maybe my marketing concepts will work well for you, especially with a company that has taken away yet other barriers to the equation with what they market (goods & services you purchase frequently at stores around the country).

You can learn about my strategies & those of my team by simply contacting me.  There’s no obligation, & in fact I do not take on everyone that ultimately calls as I’m looking to build strength in my organization & won’t spend time with tire kickers. After going through the videos on the right side of the page, if you’re serious, give me a call or email me & we’ll chat.

To Your Success,

It takes courage. A lot of people will try to tell you it’s impractical or impossible. They’ll tell you to lower your sights. They’ll tell you business can’t be benevolent.

Remember: You’ll be left with an empty feeling if you hit the finish line alone. When you run a race as a team, though, you’ll discover that much of the reward comes from hitting the tape together. You want to be surrounded not just by cheering onlookers but by a crowd of winners, celebrating as one.

Victory is much more meaningful when it comes not just from the efforts of one person, but from the joint achievements of many. The euphoria is lasting when all participants lead with their hearts, winning not just for themselves but for one another…

Welcome to my blog!

My professional career has been littered with a combination of corporate world & entrepreneurial pursuits, mostly on the entrepreneurial side because I refused to accept the corporate ladder as my path. My corporate experiences had left me rather disenchanted, largely due to the lack of control over my life, & often, the directions the company was headed. My decision against corporate America was actually quite easy due to my concerns for family, friends, & lifestyle. I wanted to be in control of my time, my income, & my life. That wasn’t going to happen in the corporate world! Today’s economic climate makes that even more the case.

Thus, I have owned my own companies for a significant part of my career. I have enjoyed the control & freedom those endeavors have afforded me. However, those endeavors didn’t come without their own set of problems. Anyone that has owned their own business knows what I’m talking about. Seeking the necessary capital, long, long hours at times, & having to deal with some employees who often had their own agendas that were contrary to the company mission. And of course, then there was the risk.

The risk/reward ratio was always something that seemed favorable to me. That was, until my last venture. I owned a company for roughly 10 years & was a leader in the industry in my area. We built a company that was highly sought after & respected in our discipline. About 90% of our business was referral & repeat business. Due to that success, I decided to branch out & pursue other opportunities as well. I took my eye off the ball ever so slightly to concentrate on these other endeavors, & before I knew it, WHAM, I had a couple of key employees take me to the cleaners! Seven figures worth! Neither myself, nor my right hand man saw it coming. It wiped me out, financially & otherwise. I lost virtually everything! Business, house, retirement, confidence (temporarily), & standing in the community for a short period. Fortunately, I didn’t lose the things that mattered most, my faith, my family, & my friends, who all stood by me through thick & thin.

I had one state agency come after me HARD. They even filed criminal charges against me. Those charges were ultimately dropped, but not until I had gone through HELL & back trying to clear my name. My name was cleared, but the experience will stick with me forever.

The experience left me somewhat jaded about something I never envisioned being jaded about, owning my own business. Needless to say, I was in somewhat of a quagmire though, I had just been sandblasted & wasn’t sure I had the heart & stomach to start another venture again, not at that point anyway. Yet I couldn’t bare the thought of going back to the corporate world either! Depressed  & confused doesn’t remotely describe the condition I was in.

I ultimately signed on with a marketing firm that marketed executives & professionals, the leader in their industry. It was a good fit. My background & passion was in marketing, & this company is the very best in their field. However, for two & a half years, I was still working for someone else, running their game. Even though I enjoyed what I did, & loved the clients I worked with, I found myself less than excited about going to the office every day where I had very little control over my life or my job. The passion & zeal I had for years with my own gigs, just wasn’t there. I was miserable. But, in today’s economic climate, the opportunities to run my own show again were bleak. Capital just isn’t flowing like it used to.

Then one day, one of my wife’s clients asked what I was doing for a living, knowing I had owned my own businesses for years. She answered, & said I was absolutely miserable & was looking to get out on my own again. He suggested that she set up a meeting between he & I to explore a very interesting proposition. The juices started flowing, I was excited about the possibilities, but what was it? We met. His proposition? A Network Marketing opportunity. What?

I had been approached seemingly a hundred times throughout my career regarding MLM’s & Network Marketing, either for me to get involved, or friends & family seeking advice on what I thought about the opportunities. Although the underlying principles were always very intriguing & often very solid as well,  it was just never my bag. First of all, most of their marketing plans were unimaginative & frankly pathetic. Contact your “100″, a list of family, friends, & colleagues. Hold open house meetings. Learn & impliment the “three foot” rule. If you had the dough, you could purchase leads that were often old, stale, & virtually worthless. Some had crappy, cookie-cutter websites promoting their business. WooooHoooo! Who wouldn’t be excited about getting involved with that?

Then there was the premise of trying to “sell” & “convince” these folks as to why you had the best business, best opportunity for great wealth, &  last but not least, the very best product known to mankind! Your product would revolutionize the world, only to learn a few months later that someone else had come out with a product (a better berry, plant, or system only found in the nether most regions of outer Mongolia, in which they owned all the land) that really would revolutionize the world ! I’m not saying that some of these aren’t legitimate, but c’mon, what a racket!

Science & the marketplace have evolved to such a point these days that it often doesn’t matter what kind of a product you have or how good it may be, if it is that good, someone can reverse engineer it, make it even better, & all the sudden, you’re old news with you and/or your downline bailing to the “new” opportunity if the proper safegaurds aren’t in place. Does a lot for credibility huh? Is it any wonder why most roll their eyes & try to avoid one presenting these opportunities today? Regardless of how good the product is or the opportunity, most just simply can’t take that leap or if they do, don’t last.

I was almost immediately hooked on the basic business model, but what about the antiquated marketing model? I had always believed in the underlying principles of Network Marketing but wondered why most were stuck in the ”old school” methods of marketing. And then it happened! As I was researching for better ways to make this happen, something I really believed in, the marketing leaders & mentors I had been seeking for finally walked into my life, & it was GAME OVER at that point!

They taught me how to permanently solve every problem new entrepreneurs/MLM/Network Marketing professionals struggle with in the Home Business & Direct Marketing industry. What? It’s the human variable…..virtually eliminated.

Prospecting, selling, convincing – ELIMINATED

Cold calling, selling  your friends & family – ELIMINATED

Large up front investment – ELIMINATED

Inventories to manage & carry – ELIMINATED

Mickey Mouse home businesses – NEVER

Massive PASSIVE income potential – YES

I was absolutely blown away! Finally, someone who really understood marketing! Where were these guys for all these years I was thinking to myself? This truly IS revolutionary!

They have taught me EXACTLY what they were doing to make millions of dollars per year with only two legs, how they were attracting qualified leads to their business, how they were actually building their MLM/Network Marketing empires without a great deal of effort. The impact on my life has been astounding on many different levels.

You see, if you’re not making money in your sleep, then you’re not using “leverage” & will find it nearly impossible to ever aquire true wealth.

So, all of that being said, I can teach you all I know about making money with this phenomenal system if you’re serious enough to take action. Once you understand the leverage & marketing concepts  my team & I will teach you, you will see how fun & virtually effortless this can be. But as the old saying goes, “you can lead a man to knowledge, but you can’t make him think”. It’s all about choices we make in life. The choice is yours. Choose wisely!

To your success.
