“(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

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

Excerpt 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.

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.

This excerpt is from a recent Commentary by Brett Arends of Marketwatch.com.

____________________

The economy lost jobs in each of the last four months. We may or may not double-dip, but the economy enters the fall desperately weak. Ominously, in the past two months nearly 1 million more people resorted to part-time work because they couldn’t get a full-time job. The total in that camp is now 9.5 million.

The so-called “underemployment” figure, which measures those who want a full-time job but can’t find one, just jumped to 17.1%. And what kind of jobs are we creating? Waitressing and bartending rose by 34,000 last month. Manufacturing has been flat since May.

TrimTabs, which tracks real-time jobs data from tax withholdings, says the picture remains weak.

Every recession in the modern economy hits the lower-skilled workers the hardest. But this time around, the slump has been devastating particularly for those who went to college…

The key figure here is not the official “unemployment” figure, which is largely a fiction, but the one showing the percentage of the population actually with work.

Right now, nearly one in four men over 25 with a college degree lacks a job, any job.

The percentage with work is 77.6% — down from 78.8% in January of last year. While the figures have ticked up a little in recent months, they remain around the lowest levels by far since records began in the early 1990s. Until recently, the figures were typically above 80%.

This is a recession that has hit the white-collar, college-educated middle class especially hard…

By contrast, the percentage of male high-school dropouts with jobs has actually risen since January 2009. Sure, it’s only from a dismal 50.5% to 51.5%. But it’s still up. Go figure.

How much joy— yes, we said “joy”— are you experiencing in your job? If you’re like most of the people we speak with, the question doesn’t even make sense. Joy and job are, for the most part, mutually exclusive. Please read this from Set Godin’s blog Organizing for joy:
______________________________

Traditional corporations, particularly large-scale service and manufacturing businesses, are organized for efficiency. Or consistency. But not joy.

McDonalds, Hertz, Dell and others crank it out. They show up. They lower costs. They use a stopwatch to measure output.

The problem with this mindset is that as you approach the asymptote of maximum efficiency, there’s not a lot of room left for improvement. Making a Chicken McNugget for .00001 cents less isn’t going to boost your profit a whole lot.

Worse, the nature of the work is inherently un-remarkable. If you fear special requests, if you staff with cogs, if you have to put it all in a manual, then the chances of amazing someone are really quite low.

These organizations have people who will try to patch problems over after the fact, instead of motivated people eager to delight on the spot.

The alternative, it seems, is to organize for joy. These are the companies that give their people the freedom (and yes, the expectation) that they will create, connect and surprise. These are the organizations that embrace someone who makes a difference, as opposed to searching for a clause in the employee handbook that was violated.

______________________________

“The alternative, it seems, is to organize for joy.” Hard to do in someone else’s company. Hard to do even in a conventional small business you own yourself. But in an MLM Network Marketing business… You get to “organize” your business any way you want. In Network Marketing you work when you want… where you want… the way you want… with whom you choose. It’s NOT business as usual. It’s business as UNusual.

That’s The NEW American Dream.

Is it time now for you to take a sincere & serious look at what Network Marketing has to offer you? Hope so.

Let us know how we can help.

Recession… What recession? That’s crazy. This isn’t a recession. This is a fundamental shift in the way the world works— and what I mean is the way it works economically and the way the whole business of ‘work’ itself works.

Most of those jobs aren’t coming back. They’re gone for good.

The same way the Industrial Age transformed what people did to earn a living, the Information Age is doing now (and it’s only just begun). What technology did with mass production in manufacturing technology is doing with the mass production of information. And most people today— in corporations, government, even in small business— are in the information business.

Network Marketing is an information business, too. The difference is in our business the information is NOT the product. The product is YOU— who and how you are. That’s something no technology can replace.

… to the website for The NEW American Dream— a Blog, a Book, & a Mission.

Our passion and purpose is to inform, involve and inspire you about MLM Network Marketing… To help you learn what makes this business,

“The most remarkable form of free enterprise ever invented.”

And to show & tell you all you need to know to make an intelligent choice if Network Marketing is right for you— or not, and if now is the right time for you— or not.

We claim…

“There has never been a more perfect time for
people to get involved in Network Marketing.”

The world of work is turning up-side down. The economy is in big trouble. People’s wages are falling. They are losing their jobs, their savings & investments, their homes… their futures.

Financial security is gone. Every where you turn the old American dream of “Life, Liberty & the Pursuit of Happiness” is not only beyond most people’s grasp— it’s completely out of reach!

We’re convinced Network Marketing is the very best way for millions of “ordinary” people to earn the money and freedom to have what they desire, dream of & deserve in their lives.

We know Network Marketing is NOT the only way. (We passionately believe it is simply the BEST way for most people.)

We also know this is NOT for everybody. Nothing is. But if this business could be a fit for you— you need to learn about it and you need to know now.

Every intelligent person considering a part-time involvement or full-time career in MLM Network Marketing has three important questions they need answered:

1. Will this be worth it?
2. Can I really do it?
3. Will I have help doing it?

Of course, you will decide the answers for your self. The contributors, industry experts, corporate executives, leaders, million-dollar income earners and the men and women much like you building their own Network Marketing businesses every day know the answer from experience.

“If you knew what we know about Network Marketing,
you’d do what ever it takes to get involved today!”

We’ll share those people and their experiences with you on this website.

One… actually two, last things. The NEW American Dream Team and all of our contributors make you two promises:

1. We will never lie to you.
2. We will never knowingly ask you to do something that is not in your best interest.

Enjoy the site. Let us know what we can do to help you.

Thanks.
We appreciate you.
The NEW American Dream Team

PS. This website & TNAD Team do NOT offer any opportunity to enroll in a specific MLM Network Marketing business. If you need help doing that, we’ll do our best to point you in the right direction, but THAT IS NOT OUR JOB. This website is a “Recruiting Free Zone.” So, if you’re already a Network Marketer, “Leave your guns at the door.” This is a policy we will passionately watch over & enforce.

Also, we do NOT share your name & eMail ever. We do NOT collect & sell “leads.” The purpose of this site is education.

“Good luck” might seem all too glib. It’s not.

With slashed payrolls and lower wages (almost) everywhere, rising unemployment with no end in sight, outsourcing, downsizing, capsizing… “Luck” is playing a more crucial role in finding & keeping a good job.

It’s not about experience, talent, skills, work ethic, who or what you know. It’s about JOBS themselves. There are less of them today and there won’t seem to be enough of them coming tomorrow. Look at this:

According to Investor’s Business Daily

MLM Network Marketing Home Business is a viable, easy entry, part-time, full-time career choice even in the best of economic times.

In the worst of times— which experts tell us we haven’t seen yet— it may just be the “Luck” you need.

Check out Compare Network Marketing (…with any other job, career, business or investment opportunity) in the Free Library. It’s a powerful & persuasive one page comparison fact sheet that offers many reasons why Network Marketing may be your best choice of all…
