THE ETHICAL NETWORK MARKETER

  10 seconds ...Is now the average attention span of most adults. Do you ever wonder why few people create wealth and most others don't? One word... When Bill Gates first met Warren Buffett, their host at dinner, Gates’ mother, asked everyone around the table to identify what they believed was the single most important factor in their success through life. Gates and Buffett gave the same one-word answer: “Focus.” Do you think Bill Gates and Warren Buffet are average? I wonder if they scroll facebook all day? Lol $1,000,000 in commercial real estate That would earn you about $5000 a month in rental income. How long would it take you to acquire that much cash value which you could then use to buy rental property? If you saved $1,000 a month it would take you 30 years if you got a conservative 6% return on your savings. If you got a very generous 10% interest rate it would only take 22.5 years. But what would 1 million dollars be worth 22 or 30 years from now? TRUTH BOMB Annual Inflat...

Not quite sure how I wanted to open this… I've been involved in  network marketing off and on for a number of years… My first attempt was Amway in 1986. That lasted for all of about 2 weeks. Lousy sponsor? Probably, even though she was a diamond director,  she threw me to the wolves immediately trying to sell overpriced water filters in a time when everyone believed tap water was safe. Maybe failing was a blessing, because had I fallen into the Amway cultic mentality, I would not have been open to other better opportunities. In retrospect I learned to prepare potential partners and business builders with good solid mindset training before just turning them loose to be rejected and then quit. My 2nd opportunity was Melalueca. Good products but overpriced, and a horrible compensation model. Having come to understand the psychological aspect of recruiting people into any program  where you must create your success by recruiting members for your downline only re...

OVERABUNDANT SUPPLY... SAY HELLO TO RAPIDLY DECREASING DEMAND Can your opportunity withstand economic scrutiny? Network marketing is facing a major population shortage. Have you ever put pencil to paper and started to look at the numbers of reps and customers available for your product and business opportunity? Supply and demand is a pretty simple concept for almost everyone in the business world to grasp with the glaring exception of network marketers. Even drug dealers understand that competition (supply) from other dealers in any geographical area reduces the amount of drug users (demand) available per dealer. This is business 101. I understood this principle as a child growing up in a household of business owners. It doesn't matter what company you're in, they will all make you rich on paper in a hypothetical geometrically growing organization. That is the ONLY hook for every opportunity with a product of questionable value, which is true for more than the 95...

  If this is a wheel, how come it doesn't roll? What is a pioneer? Why do we admire them so much? I would rather fail by trying something new than fail by doing the same thing that has a proven history of massive failure.  Herman Melville said it like this: "It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation." Yet imitating the “success” of others in network marketing seldom works. Why is that? People insist their system works, but does it really work? Or is it personality driven? Don't try to reinvent the wheel... Have you ever heard that?  I must have heard that a thousand times…in my network marketing career. “Don't reinvent the wheel.” “If it ain't broke don't fix it.” Well, I'm here to tell you something. What if it  never worked to begin with? Maybe it was never even a wheel either? Wheels have a 100% success rate in rolling! Network marketing has a dismal .3% success rate as a profitable business model. That is a fact. No ...

Come At Me Bro... I Dare You! To the MLM gurus and trainers who are the vultures and hyenas of this industry. Picking over the half eaten carcasses and  draining the last savings of the decent hopeful people you exploit for your own greedy profit. People like Don Faila Mark Yarnell- he is dead now Randy Gage Richard Brooke Tom Big Al Shrieter Eric Worre Ray Higdon And my all time personal favorite ... Only because she took me on a 6 month ride to nowhere that cost me over $2000! Kim Klaver. A little backstory about my experience with Kim: When I came back to rebuild my business after 13 years doing nothing other than collecting a residual bonus check I might add. I was feeling pretty overwhelmed at all the changes in the industry since 2004, so I thought I would enlist the help of one of these experts, Kim Klaver, because I had known about her for a long time and her big thing is how to sell a product.  That's all I really wanted to do was start selling the product ag...

  A BUSINESS LESSON FROM 170 YEARS AGO SKILLS =$$$$ PART V 18 million miners all bunched together in one spot on the river... Fighting over flakes! The difference between real saturation and psychological saturation. Nutrition and personal care companies are the most common types of opportunities available in network marketing today. But how many of those opportunities are actually growing in revenue? Not many, is the answer and there's a reason why and it's so simple, it has to do with the first principle of business, one I learned from an easily understood cartoon all the way back in grade school... The LAW of supply and demand. The supply of these types of network marketing companies is outstripping the demand for these types of products in the consumer market when compared with similar lower priced items found on Amazon. So, you have about 18 million distributors in the U.S. competing for rapidly shrinking market-share in the nutrition and personal care categ...
