This past Friday (June 24, 2011), this  “Special Supplement to The Wall Street Journal by Direct Selling News” appeared in 1.2 million copies of the prestigious business bible.

The cover of the handsomely put together piece states,

“In 2010, direct selling companies generated over $125 billion in revenue in 150 countries through more than 75 million men and women who are changing lives serving others. This is the story of direct selling.”

More than worth-the-read, this is required reading for anyone already in or interested in Network Marketing Direct Sales.

Millions of jobs lost, many may never return.
Even as the economy recovers, more people could face years out of work

Back a bit, Eric Worre, creator and star of NetworkMarketingPro.com, did this video below titled: Become a Network Marketing Pro. Solution for the Jobs Crisis.

Eric referenced a piece on MSNBC.com titled: Millions of jobs lost, many may never return. by Christopher S. Rugaber of The Associated PressHere’s the beginning of the article with a link to the complete piece.

WASHINGTON — Fewer construction workers will be needed. Don’t expect as many interior designers or advertising copywriters, either. Retailers will get by with leaner staffs.

The economy is strengthening. But millions of jobs lost in the recession could be gone for good.

And unlike in past recessions, jobs in the beleaguered manufacturing sector aren’t the only ones likely lost forever. What sets the Great Recession apart is the variety of jobs that may not return.

That helps explain why economists think it will take at least five years for the economy to regain the 8.2 million jobs wiped out by the recession — longer than in any other recovery since World War II.

It means that even as the economy strengthens, more Americans could face years out of work. Already, the percentage of the labor force unemployed for six months or longer is 4.3 percent. That’s the highest rate on records dating to 1948.

In this video CNBC’s popular Mad Money host Jim Cramer, reports that the direct selling model is going “great guns,” adding it could be the best way to sell goods in the Third World.

Cramer previously interviewed Rick Goings, CEO of Tupperware, who told him that women around the world had signed up in droves to be sales representatives for Tupperware products. The executive added that in this evironment, direct selling adds a personal touch and is more effective than traditional advertising. Being as people tend to listen more to testimonals rather than advertisements. Cramer thinks the direct selling model could be the best way to sell goods in the developing world.

Despite the good news for direct sellers, Cramer complained that these kinds of companies have never “gotten their due from Wall Street.” While people have acted as if the business model is “bogus”, Cramer thinks it’s actually fabulous.

“I think it’s time to recognize that the direct sales model works and works well,” Cramer said.

Here’s the short (03:13) video.

Network Marketing isn’t the only way.

A recent piece on YahooNews by Associated Press Business Writer Pallavi Gogoi, asked, “Where are the jobs?” and answered, “For many companies, overseas.” (Click the title link to read the entire story. Here’s an excerpt.)

Corporate profits are up. Stock prices are up. So why isn’t anyone hiring?

Actually, many American companies are — just maybe not in your town. They’re hiring overseas, where sales are surging and the pipeline of orders is fat.

More than half of the 15,000 people that Caterpillar Inc. has hired this year were outside the U.S. UPS is also hiring at a faster clip overseas. For both companies, sales in international markets are growing at least twice as fast as domestically.

The trend helps explain why unemployment remains high in the United States, edging up to 9.8 percent last month, even though companies are performing well: All but 4 percent of the top 500 U.S. corporations reported profits this year, and the stock market is close to its highest point since the 2008 financial meltdown.

But the jobs are going elsewhere. The Economic Policy Institute, a Washington think tank, says American companies have created 1.4 million jobs overseas this year, compared with less than 1 million in the U.S. The additional 1.4 million jobs would have lowered the U.S. unemployment rate to 8.9 percent, says Robert Scott, the institute’s senior international economist…

Redo, reiterate, renew, repeat, replay, replicate, reprise, rebroadcast, rerun, recycle. All to say that until the business beginning of January (the 3rd) will be reposting some of our best to date. Hope you enjoy our vacation <smile>.

“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.”

- Robert Kiyosaki, author Rich Dad Poor Dad
excerpted from It’s time… for Network Marketing.

“(MLM) is the best-kept secret in the business world.”
— Fortune magazine

“Dollar for dollar, (MLM) is the best investment I’ve ever made.”
— Warren Buffet

It’s a grim economic picture these days. Businesses are downsizing, going virtual or going offshore and taking our jobs with them. That’s bad news. Making matters worse, the recession that is gripping our economy — while showing some signs of recovery — has hit many of us hard. The unemployment rate is hovering around 10 percent, a 26-year high. And there is a widening gap between the richest and poorest Americans as these rippling job layoffs ravage household budgets.

Not everybody is struggling. Many of us who have pursued Network Marketing have gone from relying on an employer to pay us and take care of our security, to us “getting it” that we are our only security.

What was once considered risky— starting your own business— is rapidly becoming known as the smartest way to reduce taxes, increase your income, build net worth and create free time.

So just how promising is Network Marketing? Could it be the answer to the financial security you’re looking for? And just as important, is this industry tested and proven?

To answer these questions, I’ve included a link to an educational and eye-opening video I recently recorded called The Four Year Career. It takes a good, hard look at this 60-year-old industry from an insider’s perspective as I explain the proven merits of the Network Marketing and how it can truly offer a viable solution to a lifetime of financial security.

I encourage you to take a few minutes and watch The Four Year Career because the truth is, for most of us, the traditional business approach is out of reach.

Why? Hundreds of thousands in start-up capital— all at risk and far more than a full-time effort with competitors around every corner. There are no solid mentors and no life beyond the business.

Network Marketing provides an alternative for those serious about their net worth and their freedom.

In his best-selling book, The Automatic Millionaire, David Bach says, “the beauty of this industry is that it’s all done for you. The only thing you need to do is find a reputable company — one that you trust, that offers a product or service you believe in and can get passionate about.”

Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad says, “you’re actually building an income-generating asset. Direct selling gives people the opportunity, with very low risk and very low financial commitment, to build their own income-generating asset and acquire great wealth.”

And what once may have been looked down upon as a peddler’s opportunity is now seen far differently by those that should know. In the past few years alone, Network Marketing has been showcased in Forbes, Fortune, USA Today, US News and World Report and the Wall Street Journal.

“The best-kept secret of the business world.” That’s how an article in Fortune magazine described Network Marketing in August 2004.

In 2002, Warren Buffet got many people’s attention when Berkshire Hathaway purchased a major Direct Sales company.

Buffet now owns three Direct Sales companies and has said, “dollar for dollar, it’s the best investment I’ve ever made.”

Sir Richard Branson, founder of Virgin Records and a host of other Virgin companies, founded Virgin Cosmetics in the UK — a Direct Sales company. The list of major MLM investors reads like a who’s who: Bertelsmann, The Body Shop, Crayola, Hallmark Cards, Jockey, Nestle, Remington Industries, Sara Lee, Unilever and Time Warner.

In his most recent book, The Next Millionaires, Paul Zane Pilzer forecasts 10 million new millionaires in the U.S. over the next 10 years, and predicts many of them will be people who are getting involved in their own Network Marketing business now.

Network Marketing has grown every year for the past 20, jumping over 91 percent in just the past 10 years. Today, more than 40 million of us enjoy annual sales of $30 billion in the U.S. and $100 billion worldwide.

Every week, an average of 175,000 new people in the U.S., and an additional 300,000 worldwide, get their starter kit, learn their products and start offering their opportunity to others. Some will persevere with a personal vision of fun, health and abundance and go on to live extraordinary lives. Others will not harness this personal power and will move on. Either way, the opportunity to be part of a great movement in our country and the world is available to all of us.

We cannot deny that we are smack-dab in the middle of the opportunity to change our lives and the lives of our families for generations to come. Not just with the wealth we can create, but with the wisdom to live lives worthy of such abundance. What we do with it today, tomorrow and every day is entirely up to us. As good ol’ Henry Ford said profoundly: “If we think we can, we will. If we think we can’t, we won’t.”

It does not take a Ph.D to figure out how things won’t work for you. Actually, any idiot can decide that fate. It takes vision, courage and creativity to figure out every day how it will work for you.

Make it happen for yourself. Do it ANYWAY!

Richard B. Brooke

What’s America’s #1 export?

You’d think that was a well-known and established fact, yet curiously, there is NO definitive answer. Candidates for the title include: Wheat grain, military and defense “products,” entertainment (films, the arts, sports, television products & programming), software, debt… and recently our #1 export to China has been waste paper and scrap metal.

Here’s our (surprising?) prediction for the future:

In the next 5 to 10 years, Network Marketing will
become the U$A’s leading export to the world.

You “heard” it here first. <smile>

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

BLUE CHRISTMAS FOR FLEDGLING ECONOMIC RECOVERY
By Irwin Kellner, of MarketWatch

____________________

Unemployment is up, employment is stagnant, taxes may rise and 2 million people are about to lose their jobless benefits — so what is there to be merry about?

There’s no place like home for the holidays. And that’s where many shoppers are remaining, much to the consternation of the nation’s retailers.

The way things are going in Washington these days, merchants are hoping for the best but bracing themselves for nothing more than a lump of coal in their Christmas stockings. After all, how can you expect people to spurge if they are concerned about jobs, unemployment benefits and taxes?

Especially worried are those retailers that ordered lots of holiday goodies, thinking that the worst was over and that the economy was picking up. In a narrow sense, it is — at least according to the umpire of the business cycle. But out there in the real world, most people think that we are still in a recession.

You can’t blame them.

The jobless rate rose to 9.8% in November, the highest rate since last April, at a time when it should have been falling.

To make matters worse, private-sector payrolls rose a paltry 50,000 last month — 40,000 of which were temporary workers.

This does not do much for people’s confidence. Those few who did find work in November are obviously worried that it may not last. And then there are the 15 million who are out of work, among them 6.3 million who have been jobless for 26 weeks or longer…

You still have time to give yourself and your loved ones the Holiday & Holyday gift of a brand new life for 2011. Please, take a sincere & serious look at the possibilities for you in Network Marketing. It’s not the only way… We just don’t know a better one!

Public Jobs Drop Amid Slowdown in Private Hiring
By Catherine Rampell
Published: October 8, 2010

In the one-two punch long feared by many economists, hiring by businesses has slowed while government jobs are disappearing at a record pace.

Companies added just 64,000 jobs last month, a slowdown from 93,000 jobs in August and 117,000 in July, the Labor Department reported Friday. But over all, the economy lost 95,000 non-farm jobs in September, the result of a 159,000 decline in government jobs at all levels. Local governments in particular cut workers at the fastest rate in almost 30 years.

“We need to wake up to the fact that the end of the stimulus has really hit hard on local governments,” said Andrew Stettner, deputy director of the National Employment Law Project. “There is much more of a slide in the job market than what we really need to clearly turn around.”

With the waning of the $787 billion Recovery Act passed in 2009 and credited with increasing employment by millions of jobs, finding new policies potent enough to speed up the recovery has proved difficult.

… Friday’s jobs report led to discouraging forecasts for the rest of the year, given the slowdown in both job and output growth in recent months. Private payrolls have been growing throughout this year, but at a rate too sluggish even to keep up with people entering the work force, much less make a dent in the numbers of unemployed. The nation’s unemployment rate stayed flat in September, at 9.6 percent.

Of particular concern is the fact that the length of the workweek has barely budged in six months and the number of people working part time because they cannot find full-time work continues to climb…

______________________________

And true to the predictions above,  the employment picture has indeed worsened as the country moves to the end of this upside (and mostly) down (economically speaking) year.

There has never been a better nor more important time to take a sincere & serious look at a part-time career in Network Marketing. This is The NEW American Dream

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.
