The Truth About Network Marketing Revealed!

By Rachel Henke, © 2007

Network Marketing is a controversial industry. It is not
for those who have no dreams and who are not willing to
learn some new skills. Here are some key points about why
you may want to get involved.

21st Century Business Model.
Network Marketing is now a 100 billion dollar industry,
operating in well over 100 countries which is often a
surprise to those looking at the industry for the first
time.

Most Efficient Distribution Method.
Network Marketing and Direct Sales are the most
efficient distribution methods on the planet, saving both
time and money, cutting out the middle man and improving
service and efficiency. This has been recognised by
companies such as Dell who now distribute with the direct
sales method.

Excellent Investment.
Warren Buffet owns network marketing companies and has said
it is the best investment he has ever made.

Credibility.
Many network marketing companies are now public companies so
credibility is high. Pyramid schemes are now illegal in the
UK and many other countries. There were lots of growing
pains and issues in the industry over the years since it
began with the first direct selling company in 1903!! Amway
was accused of being a pyramid but was legally validated
with a final order in 1979. The industry is strictly
regulated these days and as a result no company can last
very long if it is not 100% ethical and legal.

The Real Life Business School.
Robert and Kim Kiyosaki,of Rich Dad, Poor Dad fame,are great
ambassadors of the industry. The reason people like this,
along with Donald Trump, are validating Network Marketing is
because they are visionaries and understand what a valuable
business model it is. Recently I had the pleasure of hearing
him speak at a convention. Robert said that Network
Marketing is the best 'business school' for the average
person to learn the skills of leadership with successful
mentors. He also says that the world is desperate for more
leaders and entrepreneurs and network marketing is the
answer.

For People Who Like Helping People.
No one can build a huge organisation in Network Marketing or
MLM without many many many people succeeding in a big way.
Therefore it is a win win business model and the only people
who lose are those who think they will get rich without
developing their skills and of course without doing much
work.

The Truth About Network Marketing.
I have learned more in network marketing about real business
than I could ever learn in a one man band start up where no
one wants to share their winning strategies with you.
Traditional business is dog eat dog. I have access to some
of the most successful mentors in the business world today
and they invest their time in me with no charge. The only
commitment on my part is that I do my absolute best to
become a leader and to empower others to do the same. No one
ever says in the business that you will become successful
without changing your mindset and becoming a more skilled
person than you are when you join. All the tools and
training are there for you to succeed, and obviously some
companies have better systems but that is true for all
things.

Finally then yes... the truth about Network Marketing is
that you actually do need to become a leader to earn a lot
of money. That's why it is an inspiring business to be in,
and why it has enabled me to be at home looking after my
kids and still earning a good income whilst other people are
busting a gut and making someone else wealthy.

Great post! I totally agree. I'm building a business with two network marketing companies right now and it is the best of all worlds: I can work around my small children from home, I'm in charge of how much I make, and I am helping others succeed while improving their health. Glad I found your blog!!
