The NEW American Dream

Archive for the ‘Hope’ Category

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.

“As I listened to this broadcast on NPR coming home with my daughter Ele from her Kung Fu class, I felt sick. 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!

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!. Then on the 30th of November, we published another of Randy’s powerful posts, Getting Free. The Promise of Network Marketing. (If you missed either one, click the title links to go right to them.) 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.

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.

Used to be when folks from the same profession got together in their off-hours and talked about the business of their respective businesses it was called “talking shop.” That’s what happened recently on a conference call hosted by Jordan Adler and his special guest Donna Johnson. Both are at the very top of their MLM Network Marketing companies: million-dollar + annual income earners having built Networking organizations numbering 10′s of thousands of team members each.

Jordan began this part of the conversation saying that he believed the opportunity to be involved in Network Marketing is richer & stronger today than it ever has been. He asked Donna if she agreed?

Always fun to play the fly on the wall, here’s what Donna said in this short [02:08] clip from their conversation.

A comfortable retirement could becoming a luxury only wealthy Americans will be able to afford, as a growing number of middle income earners believe it is impossible to meet today’s bills and save for retirement at the same time.

Nearly half of America’s middle-income earners – the backbone of the working nation – simply do not believe it is possible to bring up a family, pay the bills, live a little and save for retirement all at the same time.

A study of 3,000 people by Country Insurance & Financial Services has found just over a third of middle-income families – 37 per cent – felt they were able to save enough to live comfortably in retirement.

Nearly half felt they were unable to square the circle and 17 per cent were unsure, with women more pessimistic than men.

The two main reasons respondents cited for not providing for their retirement were a lack of enough money to save and invest (34 per cent) and the need to pay off debts (17 per cent).

Source: Management-Issues.com

For millions of people in the U$, MLM Network Marketing offers the very real possibility of generating the money they’ll need— and have not saved or invested— to afford their retirement. Please, be open to that and take a look today.

Celebrating Network Marketing— The Business of Uplifting People
One of the most fulfilling or
heartwarming aspects of the
business, if done right, is how it
uplifts people, helps them to feel
better about themselves and
eventually become more and
better than they were.

______________________________

In a world where people struggle every day in a rat race just to make ends meet, Network Marketing professionals offer a way out of the drudgery.

In a world where people are too busy to listen to each other and yet yearn to be listened to, Network Marketing professionals provide just what people need—listening ears and understanding hearts.

In a world where people can’t help but complain of having no time, no money, no fun, and no health, Network Marketing professionals offer a happier balance in life between work and play, financial wellness and physical wellness, and present-day needs and future provisions.

In a world where people walk with low self-esteem and frail or badly dented egos, long conditioned to think and feel they are never good enough for the critical tasks at hand, network marketing professionals offer a guiding hand, a caring heart, and a reliable companion in a happier walk to a better life.

In a world where people are routinely told to “get real” and forget their childhood dreams, Network Marketing professionals can help people rediscover their core desires and show them a way to fulfill them.

I think Network Marketing is potentially the greatest economic opportunity that has ever existed. You’re creating an opportunity to affect the self-esteem of many, many people. You’re giving people hope and providing a launching pad for people to discover their own greatness.

You are the future.
