Why do most people get involved in Network Marketing? For the money— pure & simple. But more & more, money alone isn’t enough. It’s money and…

More time to spend with
friends, family and yourself.

In short, the balance between life & work even a successful part-time Network Marketing business offers.

Please watch this short (10 minute) TED.com video from Nigel Marsh: “How to make work-life balance work”

An idea who’s time has come? Truly, an idea who’s time never really left. Yet as Mr. Marsh points out, there are very (very) few corporations willing and able to effectively incorporate these increasingly sought after human values into their work-a-day worlds.

But in Network Marketing, the freedom to balance your life and work is a fundamental benefit.

The burning or burned out corporate executive… the working mom who longs to be home with her kids… the 20-somethings who aren’t buying into having to give up your life to make a living… even the successful small business owner who’s painfully realizing his business owns him… all of these people and many more are turning in increasing numbers to Network Marketing as not only “the last bastion of free-enterprise,” but as the one place where they can earn the income they need to enjoy the balanced and fulfilling lifestyle they desire, dream of and deserve.

Network Marketing isn’t the only way.
We just don’t know a better one.

PS. If you are not yet a Ted.com “freak,” please consider becoming so. TED IS the Web at it’s best!

Six unemployed residents of St. Louis have vastly different backgrounds. But they all share one goal:

Finding a job.

In St. Louis, the labor market and unemployment rate are very similar to the rest of the nation. NPR begins a year-long journey, following these residents in their quest for work.

Nationwide, there are more than 14 million people out of work, and most economists say it will be years before the country returns to full employment. In terms of the labor market and the unemployment rate, St. Louis, Mo., is very similar to rest of the nation.

To read the full story by Tamara Keith that aired on NPR’s All Things Considered, Monday, January 17, click this link: Finding The Path Toward Employment In St. Louis. A complete transcript is also available on the site.

My heart goes out to these people and the 13,999,994 other men & women out of work in America. I kept asking the car radio (I know, very silly) ‘Do they know about Network Marketing? These are good people. Smart people. Hard working people. They deserve a chance. Please… how can I let them know about the possibility to get their lives back with Network Marketing?”
— John Milton Fogg

If you’re a Network Marketer, you don’t have to tell these people and the millions of unemployed others like them about Network Marketing, but you’d sure make a huge difference in their lives if you did.

The passionate Les Brown advises us to stop playing it safe and start creating what’s truly possible in life. Take a minute and a half to discover why people really fail while giving thought to the THREE areas of your life where you should raise the bar and aim high for a goal!

Problem is most self-employed people running a traditional business usually lack the time and flexibility to effectively manage their goals in three different areas… if they even take the time to define them. That’s where Network Marketing changes the game, offering the possibility of earning as much or more than you have ever earned before while having the time to enjoy it in all areas of your life!

“The companies that have developed this marketing approach with truly high-quality products are doing a lot of good in the world. … Network Marketing is a critically important way of helping people to use high-quality products … it’s also a way to give certain people an opportunity to sell those products and earn a good living from it. I see it playing a very important role in the twenty-first century.”

Back on November 17th, we published a blog post by Network Marketing leader, trainer & million-dollar annual income earner Randy Gage titled Don’t You Dare Give Up!. (If you missed it, click the link to go right there.) Here we go again. We simply found “Getting Free” to be such great advice about Network Marketing and such a great look at the possibilities of this business for you, we were compelled to publish it here. Enjoy it.

Getting Free
By Randy Gage
November 30th, 2010

One of the most important things we do in Network Marketing is helping people get free. They break away from the bonds of office politics, nepotism, rush hour traffic, and someone controlling a very large percentage of their waking hours.

We can offer them an environment based on empowering people. Becoming successful by helping offers reach success. Getting free by helping others get free. But this is also the area that hurts the most people in our business…

So I’m writing a lengthy post about the subject and I’m asking you to make sure everyone on your team reads this today.

The biggest mistake I see in the business is people leaving their jobs too soon. As soon as someone equals their job income, they want to leave it. But that’s a mistake. This forces them to live out of their MLM business, instead of using their income to grow their business. And when you have to sponsor someone just to meet bills, that creates stress and a very negative energy.

Better you keep your job and work even more evenings a week. Sacrifice for a season to grow the business and pay off your bills. The best scenario is for you to be debt free, extra money in the bank, and earning even more from your MLM business than your job. Only then is it time to quit the job.

So here’s my advice:

Write your resignation letter NOW.

Then put it in your wallet or purse. Read it every morning. Read it when you’re having a hard time at work. Read it when you get home from a meeting at 1 am and have to get up at 6 am for work the next day. Let it drive you. Then one day soon, you’ll be able to hand it in.

Dear (insert cheap boss name here),

As I’m sure you know, there have been turbulent changes in the economy and this has affected us all. In response to these factors, our family has been forced to make some restructuring changes and some positions have been eliminated. One of those positions is mine.

I can no longer afford to work here. And because of the difficult economic times, I am opening up the position for someone that doesn’t have a dream. It’s time for me to leave, so I can live mine.

Sincerely,
(Your name)

Please really do write your resignation letter today and let it pull you toward freedom. And encourage your people to do the same. But counsel with them and let’s not have anyone leave their job until the time is right for them. Then we really are helping people get free.

- RG

Excerpted from Robert Kiyosaki’s book, The Business of the 21st Century.

Now that layoffs are rampant and everyone is worried about what the future holds, millions of people are soberly reevaluating their finances and realizing that if they want to have a secure future they can count on, they’re going to have to come up with a Plan B. People today are hungrier than ever to earn extra money, and because of that, they are more receptive and more inclined to open their minds to new avenues.

In fact, this was true even before recent economic meltdown. Ever since the 80′s, and especially since the turn of the century, the drive to control our own economic futures has been building. Here’s what the U.S. Chamber of Commerce said in 2007 report titled Work, Entrepreneurship and Opportunity in 21st Century America: “Millions of Americans are embracing entrepreneurship by running their own small businesses.

72 percent of all adult Americans would rather work for themselves than for a job, and 67 percent think about quitting their jobs “regularly” or “constantly.”

Now, I’m no economist, but I know someone who is: Paul Zane Pilzer.

Paul is a wiz kid, was Citibank’s youngest-ever vice president, and left the banking world to make millions going into business for himself. He’s had a few New York Times best-sellers, predicted the Savings & Loan crisis before it happened, and served as an economic advisor to two presidential administrations. He’s someone worth listening to.

Paul talks about a 180-degree shift in cultural values around the nature of career paths, with the conventional corporate-employee career structure giving way to the entrepreneurial path.

“The traditional wisdom in the second half of the 20th century,” says Paul, “was to go to school, get a good education, and go to work for a large company. The idea of going into business for yourself was most often regarded as risky. Admirable perhaps, but risky … and maybe a little crazy. Today it’s completely the other way around.

Paul’s right. That U.S. Chamber of Commerce report I mentioned also refers to a Gallup poll finding that 61 percent of Americans say they would prefer to be their own boss. Another poll, this one by the Fresno research firm Decipher, found that 72 percent of all adult Americans would rather work for themselves than for a job, and 67 percent think about quitting teir jobs “regularly” or “constantly.”

And it’s not just about making a living: it’s also about the quality of how we’re living.

People are waking up to the fact that they want more control over their lives. They want to be more connected to their families, be in charge of their own time, work from their homes, determine their own destinies.

In that Dicipher study, 84 percent of the respondents said they woud be more passionate about their work if they owned their own business. The No. 1 reason they gave for wanting to work for themselves?

“To be more passionate about my work life.”

What’s happening is that the 20th-century myth of job security, with it’s promise that the path to a long, happy fulfilling life is to find a job working for someone else is crumbling before our eyes.

“Yes, I think network marketing is the best system for the average person.

If in the corporate world you don’t sell within the first months, you’re fired. In Network Marketing they’ll work with you to achieve. What a deal that is! They will work with you to become free.

Isn’t that wonderful? That’s revolutionary.”

Stay the Course Long Enough to Discover the Magic for Yourself

Years ago, I uncovered four
levels of what I call “pursuit” in
Network Marketing. Each one
leads to greater appreciation and
a higher consciousness: Money,
Freedom, Helping People, and
Changing the World.

Network Marketing is a gift, and in the right hands, it can change the world. I know this from firsthand experience.

In 1994, I was on my way to Paris, France, to speak at the launch of an American Network Marketing company. A couple days before the launch, I was doing a meeting in Antwerp, Belgium. At the conclusion of the meeting, I was told that there was a gentleman waiting in the lobby who wanted to speak to me. I will never forget his story.

He was Croatian, and it was during the time when there was a war in his country between the Serbs and the Muslims. He was involved in another Network Marketing company, and he was looking at joining our company.

He proceeded to tell me about an organizational meeting that he had attended a few nights before in order to recognize and congratulate one of his distributors on their advancement. This meeting was in Croatia, where he had to cross a border and risk his life to enter into a very dangerous part of the country. Snipers were killing people there every day.

The meeting was held in the basement of a house in the war zone. Everyone that attended was risking their lives. Every day, they were smuggling their products across the border to build their businesses. But what was amazing was that at this meeting there were Serbs and Muslims, all sponsored by one another and all hugging and congratulating each other.

What a paradox:

Outside, there was war, hate, and destruction. Inside, there was peace, love, and harmony… and it was because of Network Marketing.

I saw clearly at that moment that this business was about so much more than just money. It was about bringing people together. It was about an unselfish commitment to help someone else become successful. It was about looking for the good in one another instead of the bad. It was about free enterprise and helping to change the financial status of one family, then two, then three. It was about bridging the gap between different cultures, religions, and ethnic backgrounds.

For the first time, I truly saw what an impact Network Marketing could have around the world. And today, when I think about singing the praises of Network Marketing, I think about that Croatian man and his sacrifice to fulfill a dream. Then it becomes really clear. To those that embrace the power of Network Marketing, it ceases to be a business. To them, it becomes their life, and their life is magic.

Everyone Can Win
By Randy Gage
December 10th, 2010

I can still remember like it was yesterday.  It was 3 am, and I was sitting on the sofa watching infomercials.  The one with Tom Vu was on and he said, “You, you sitting there on the sofa.  It’s 3 am your wife’s asleep, your baby’s asleep.  Nobody cares about you.  You’re a loser!  If you don’t buy my program, you deserve to be broke!”

And of course I was so broke I couldn’t afford to buy his program, so I felt like the biggest loser in the world.  But thankfully I found Network Marketing…

And the one business where everyone can win.

You are not competing against anybody.  You have the chance to win and nobody else has to lose along the way.  And in life that’s not usually true.

When you get in a business where your success is based on the success of others, everybody wins.

Now there will be some losers, but that’s because some people quit.  So that’s a choice they make.  But if they are willing to stay the course, they can win along with the others.

Ain’t it great!

- RG

This post was written by John Fogg.

Seth Godin is one of my heroes. In so many, many, instances, Seth’s writing cuts through the morass & misunderstanding of the world we live & work in with a uncanny precision & vision that makes things crystal clear. Especially “things” such as what can be done to change what’s not working for the better, perhaps forever.

In his latest book, Linchpin. Are You Indispensable? Mr. Godin makes a case for what’s not working in the world of work and why. Like this:

The system we grew up with is a mess. It’s falling apart at the seams and a lot of people I care about are in pain because the things we thought would work don’t. Everyday I meet people who have so much to give but have been bullied enough or frightened enough to hold it back. They have become victims, pawns in a senseless system that uses them up and undervalues them.

It’s time to stop complying with the system and draw your own map.

Stop settling for what’s good enough… Stop asking what’s in it for you and start giving gifts that change people. Then, and only then, will you have achieved your potential.

For hundreds of years, the population has been seduced, scammed, and brainwashed into fitting in, following instructions, and exchanging a day’s work for a day’s pay. That era has come to an end and just in time.

Seth goes on to say that we have an opportunity today to change our lives for the better. He is NOT making a case for MLM Network Marketing. From my conversations with Seth I believe (unless he’s changed his “worldview”) he has not held our profession in the highest esteem. I don’t think he fully understands us, because without intending to, I believe he IS making a case for Network Marketing as one of the options to choose from.

Linchipn continues…

The Take-Care-of-You-Bargain
Here’s the deal our parents signed us up for:

Our world is filled with factories. Factories that make widgets and insurance and Web sites, factories that make movies and take care of sick people and answer the telephone. These factories need workers.

If you learn how to be one of these workers, if you pay attention in school, follow instructions, show up on time, and try hard, we will take care of you. You won’t have to be brilliant or creative or take big risks.

We will pay you a lot of money, give you health insurance, and offer you job security. We will cherish you, or at the very least, take care of you.

It’s a pretty seductive bargain.

So seductive that for a century, we embraced it. We set up our schools and our systems and our government to support the bargain.

It worked. The Fortune 500 took care of us. The teachers’ union took care of us. The post office and the local retailer took care of us. We followed the instructions, we washed the bottles, we showed up on time, and in return, we got what we needed. It was the American Dream. For a long time it worked.

But in the face of competition and technology, the bargain has fallen apart.

Job growth is flat at best.

Wages in many industries are in a negative cycle.

The middle class is under siege like never before, and the future appears dismal. People are no longer being taken care of— pensions are gone; 401(k)s have been sliced in half; and it’s hard to see where to go from here. You might be the hard working secretary, the one with the institutional knowledge, the person who has given so much and deserves security and respect. And while you might deserve these things, your tenure is no guarantee that you’re going to get them.

Suddenly, quite suddenly in the scheme of things, it seems like the obedient worker bought into a sucker’s deal. The educated, hardworking masses are still doing what they’re told, but they are no longer getting what they deserve.

This situation presents a wonderful opportunity.

Yes, it’s an opportunity. An opportunity to actually enjoy what you do, to make a difference to your colleagues and your customers, and to unlock the genius you’ve been hiding all these years.

It’s futile to work hard at restoring the take-care-of-you bargain. The bargain is gone, and it’s not worth whining about and it’s not effective to complain. There’s a new bargain now…

Again, to be clear, Seth Godin DOES NOT directly endorse MLM Network Marketing. That said, there’s a lot we ARE by design & on purpose that’s right up his alley.

What Seth presents is a picture of the “American Dream” that is past tense. “The bargain,” and the systems and structures and people and ideas that have supported it, “has fallen apart.”

Three years ago I put together a book titled, It’s Time… For Network Marketing*. It was, alas, at least as indicated by its lack of acceptance & sales success, ahead of it’s time. Perhaps no longer.

It is clearly time for a NEW American Dream.

And although not for everybody, for millions of people “…who have so much to give but have been bullied enough or frightened enough to hold it back.” Who, “have become victims, pawns in a senseless system that uses them up and undervalues them.”

The NEW American Dream can be found in Network Marketing.
