This is what I think it is like to OWN YOUR LIFE: When you subtract out the sleeping time, working time and time for things you have to do each and everyday of your life, most people don't have more than one or two hours each day to do what they like to do - and then, would they have the money to do it?

Is Network Marketing Right For Me?

The first decision you have to make concerns whether network marketing is (still) right for you. In my opinion there is no perfect or right type of person for network marketing. There seems to be one common myth that network marketing is all about selling, so many people who don't see themselves as "salespeople" shy away from it. If the truth be known, most of the people who are a huge success in network marketing are not "sales types" themselves. They build their business by listening to people's needs and wants, and then provide an answer and/or a decision.


People (prospects) aren't really looking for products, services--or even a business opportunity; they're looking for assistance or solutions pertaining to their particular life's problems. We can't solve them all with network marketing, but for many - we can help. So, we are not in the sales business (in the strict sense of the word); rather, we are in the problem-solving and dream-building business--as consultants.


The main reason so many people are deciding to enter network marketing is that it fits the current marketing trends. In case you haven't noticed, the baby boomers (those born between 1946 and 1964) are in control. Seventy-six million strong in the United States, and over a billion worldwide, the boomers have dictated what's hot, from fast food to SUVs.


Now the boomers are searching for products that'll help them look and feel younger, and for ways to secure their financial future with residual income and enjoy more leveraged time. Network marketing offers the solution in one neat package making their search easier.


The final reason why so many people of all ages are interested in network marketing is the www. Thanks to the internet, people can now work from the comfort of their home, and within a few months to a few years, build a large international business. The income from this business will secure their financial future (residual income) and provide more leveraged free time to truly enjoy life. Does this fit the lifestyle you have, or want?

Getting Started In Network Marketing!

Before you invest a lot of time, effort and/or money in your new homebased business, I would suggest you consider the hard fact that "only 3% of those who open a Network Marketing business survive much more than 90-120 days before they run out of time, money and enthusiasm." Understanding this up front is one of the keys to long-term survival in the industry. I'm certainly not trying to scare you off - just trying to make sure you know what you are getting into.

Whether you are a seasoned veteran of the MLM wars, or considering your first homebased business opportunity to earn a little extra income, you have some important front-end Business Decisions to make based on the following questions:

• Whether or not you should start (or continue) in the network marketing industry?
• If so, which type of company is best for you?
• What should you expect from a sponsor?
• What will be expected of you?
• Finally, what does one of today's leading MLM companies look like?

These are the kinds of topics and issues that we will address in the frequent postings on this blog. I hope you will follow along with us (look to your right), and I look forward to your comments and suggestions as we move along the path from Survival ----> Prosperity.
