The world economy is going through a wrenching transition. Most people are being misled by the propaganda put out by the various governments who are trying to convince everyone that "Things are returning to normal."
As a result, a lot of good people are sitting on their hands, hoping they don't lose their job before the recovery arrives. Others, with unemployment running out, have gone back to school to get more training in the occupations of the Old Economy.
Many young people, just out of high school or college can't even land their first job. They are back living at home or working for President Obama's job programs in Afghanistan and Iraq. Talk about occupational hazards!
I have a different view, based on more than fifty years in and around business -- and ten years specifically working on re-employing families in communities where the major employer had left the area.
I've thought a lot about re-employing the average person who may not have a lot of transferable skills beyond a willingness to show up on time and put his or her heart into doing the job at hand.
Of course, my searching led me to the one occupation that everyone could do...that paid extremely well for those who worked at it. An occupation that provided on-the-job training and let anyone earn as they learned.
Of course, I'm talking about MLM or Network Marketing
Unfortunately, few people out of the many I talk to have admitted to themselves (not yet, anyway) that The Old Economy is not coming back to life -- an economy based on everlasting growth, building and selling homes to those who could not afford them, and depending on a federal government that can't even balance their own budget for help in times of trouble.
The New Economy's first law is that "We are ALL self-employed."
If you're willing to live by that law, there is plenty of work to be done, helping others all over the world buy unique consumable products, combined with the opportunity to once again make a good living helping others to learn about these improved products and this opportunity.
This business, network marketing, is the growth industry of the 21st Century.
And here's a little secret: In a few well-chosen MLM companies, the products can save you money over what you buy every day in your retail stores!
The efficiencies of this revolutionary business model make it possible to provide a better-quality, less-expensive product delivered to your door for less that you pay at the store. So, there really is no reason for the youth of America to be sitting around paying to drink Red Bull or Monster energy drinks at $1.50-$3 apiece when they could be earning a growing income and drinking a healthier energy drink.
The same holds true for all the consumer items everyone is gaga about having: cellphone service, skincare products, weight loss aids, you name it. Why spend your precious money for brands that aren't willing to cut you in on their profits?
Americans need to stop looking at the world through the eyes of "employees", and start seeing the opportunity that lies in self-employment.
Ironically, the world outside the USA is wide-open to the idea that our financial salvation lies in building chains of distribution for well-run network marketing companies.
In a way, we're talking about returning to an American tradition that has been packaged for export to a world hungry for the blessings of free enterprise.
Network marketing, at its core, is the American Way -- the American Dream -- packaged for sale to hungry entrepreneurs here and all over the globe.
Network marketing is an American invention and we should be proud to share it with the world.
We offer an Opportunity to build a better life through introducing others to a way to achieve their dreams. It is an opportunity to help others build their dream, which helps us realize ours.
It's happening right now on FaceBook, on the Internet, and in homes throughout the world. How big a piece of it would you like to claim?

Rejection-Free Network Marketing
Network marketing has changed, in case you haven't heard. No longer are you expected to tell everyone and their brother-in-law about your new business. In fact, it's better if you don't.
It is so much more efficient when you can drop hints about your marketing activities around the 'Net in places where interested people will see them...and call you when they're ready.
This eliminates the unpleasant, uncomfortable scenes that occur at Christmas dinner when you force yourself to approach Uncle Joe and Aunt Erma to ask if they'd ever wanted to start their own home-based business.
This new style of network marketing, developed by Mike Dillard, uses the power of the Internet to let those who are looking for what you offer, find and contact you. This puts you in a much more comfortable position of simply asking prospects questions and answering theirs.
This new school of network marketing, called Attraction Marketing, removes the need to sell your business opportunity to your friends and family. No more trying to push your products and business on people with no interest in it.
In addition to removing one of the things most people hate about network marketing, attraction marketing implements a couple of other innovative marketing techniques that are a marked improvement over Old-School MLM.
1) Attraction Marketing puts YOU in possession of your MLM business, not your company. It does this by helping you build a list of those who are interested in network marketing and...
2) It offers valuable training materials to all your visitors -- 95% of whom will never join your company -- and this helps you pay for the ongoing expense of prospecting.
Mike Dillard's company, Magnetic Sponsoring, has truly revolutionized this business by automating so much of the time-consuming process of marketing -- of sifting and sorting through thousands of prospects to find the ideal ones for your business. It combines the best features of MLM with the advances made possible by Internet marketing, to give you the best of both worlds.
There's a lot more that could be said about Magnetic Sponsoring and all the good FREE training they offer just for taking a peek. Check them out -- Their ad is to the right of this post.
Oh yeah, and you can get all this value for one ridiculously low one-time price.

Simple Truths About MLM
Network marketing or MLM, as it is sometimes called, has so much potential for so many people, but we need to clear up some misunderstanding that have given it a black eye. By simply focusing on what network marketing really is -- not what your uncle or your coworkers say it is -- you can make it work for you.
Okay, where should I start? How about with a Definition of what MLM is?
* Network marketing is a system for distributing various products, leaving the marketing function up to individuals (distributors) who are paid commissions and bonuses based on how much product sales they are responsible for.
* Network marketing removes a lot of inefficiencies and expenses in the process of distributing products from the manufacturer to the end user. This frees up large sums which are paid by most corporations to professional sales staffs, advertising agencies, warehousers, rack jobbers, and the profit margins of 50-100% typically required by retail outlets like WalMart, GNC, etc.
* By saving millions of dollars on all the above functions, MLM companies can afford to pay those savings out in commissions to multiple levels of sales associates. So, the average Jane or Joe earn much more than they could earn in almost any other occupation IF they know what they are doing, work at it, and enlist many others to help them.
Sounds great, doesn't it? Well, in principle it is, but there are many preventable mistakes and misconceptions that can get in the way of a new distributor's success. Let's consider just a few of those:
* Perhaps the biggest mental hurdle is the notion that MLM does not require work. Unfortunately, it is frequently promoted by less-than-ethical recruiters and companies in this way. Face it, folks: Work is at the heart of the name Net-WORK-Marketing! You are not buying a guaranteed winning Lottery ticket; you are buying what is essentially a franchise, but for a bargain price. You must figure out many things to make that franchise successful and only then will you get paid.
* Choosing the wrong company. Many network marketing companies go out of business for many of the same reasons most business start-ups fail: they are undercapitalized, they don't have an experienced management team, they choose the wrong product to market. The wisest course is to research the company you are considering, just as you would research any major investment. Go visit with the founders, if possible. Look at the financial records. If nothing else, read every legitimate 3rd-party report on the company and its products.
One of the easiest safety criteria is to never join a company that is less than five years old. That gives the company time to work out any bugs before you invest your time and money into building a business based on their ability to hold up their end of the deal.
Read the book How To Choose A Network Marketing Company, advertised over to the right of this post. That will give you a good foundation for comparing companies, hot products, compensation plans, etc.
* This last point is really important: You will need education in state-of-the-art marketing -- and most likely, you're going to need to find this on your own. This is an area most MLM companies are still in the Dark Ages about.
The best system I have found that explains everything from the mental attitude you will need to actually providing you with a free turnkey software package is called Magnetic Sponsoring, by Mike Dillard. It will show you how the Top Dogs got to the top in this business -- and, conversely, why the little people frequently get wiped out. If you want to succeed in this phenomenal business, you need to get this inexpensive, brilliantly written, package of education and tools.
There are many imitators, but Mike Dillard's Magnetic Sponsoring is the original. With this information and funded-proposal recruiting system, Mike went from waiting tables in his mid-twenties to earning a 7-figure-income in 18 months!

And, yes, I will be compensated by Mike Dillard if you buy any of his products. I am grateful to the person who brought this dandy little book to my attention, so I'm thinking you will be, too.

What's Your Backup Plan?
The newspapers are telling us the Great Recession is over. They say it ended a year ago! What do you think?
Judging by all the Community Garage Sale signs I see, it doesn't look like it from where I sit. I think the public has just not accepted the fact that our U.S. economy has fundamentally changed. Many of the jobs available during the Housing and Financial Boom are never coming back.
I have made my living by being an entrepreneur most of my life. That means I had to accurately predict what businesses would succeed in the future, when I decided where to invest my time and money. An entrepreneur, to be successful, needs to be good at predicting where the future is heading. I've done well over the course of the 40+ years I've been choosing businesses.
Assuming you have a good job now, having a back-up plan is a very smart idea. As it dawns on the public that the economy is not going to suddenly take wings and begin to prosper again, we're going to see more jobs eliminated.
It wouldn't hurt -- and actually, it would be a smart move -- to create a back-up plan, a part-time second income source you can fall back on if anything happens to your regular income source.
Network Marketing is the ideal business model for this purpose. But learning the new rules of MLM are critical if you don't want to go out and do the old-fashioned routine of talking to everyone you know about your new business venture.
There is a time to talk to the people you know about your business, but it's best to get some success and knowledge under your belt before you do.
To learn the new, online, way to build your MLM business, check out the banner to the right of this post, entitled "Building On A Budget". Learn how to make money, starting today, as people pay you to tell them about your new business!

MLM Is the Business for the 21st Century
Author Robert Kiyosaki has some bad news and some good news for us. The bad news is the old economy is NOT coming back. The USA and much of the world economy is in a Depression (no matter what the stock market and the manipulated news media tell us).
The good news is that MLM or network marketing in selected companies is doing quite well. MLM offers an unlimited opportunity to those who are willing to use their products and find others to do the same.
Network marketing has been defined as "a lot of people doing a few simple activities every day for a long period of time." Instead of jumping from opportunity to opportunity, the long-term slow and steady approach builds -- if you ally yourself with the right team -- a phenomenal income from the compounded actions of many people besides yourself. It offers you leverage without employees or a large investment.
As best-selling author Kiyosaki says, it is the ideal business for the 21st century. It doesn't take a lot of money, or good looks, or a college education to participate. What success in this business requires is a burning desire to better your situation and the willingness to learn and do what is needed to produce results.
