Twenty years ago, I was offered a position working for the U.S. Economic Development Administration. My task was to find worthwhile small business opportunities to fund in a community that had just lost its major employer. Six hundred jobs were lost overnight -- and these were desirable family-wage jobs that required, for the most part, little education.
I received up-to-date briefings on what were projected to be the business opportunities of the future from my supervisors at the federal, state, and county level. I also did a lot of research and thinking about which of these job-creating businesses would "fly" in our small mountain community.
It was an exciting, engaging project, but none of the conventional solutions we tried worked for very long. Grant money and tax breaks were essentially thrown at businesses that provided a few, mostly low-paying jobs, and then vanished when the federal and state support ran out.
Ironically, it was in my research for a way to create work that average people with little specialized training could do from their homes, I found network marketing. Of course, I didn't dare show such an unconventional project to my employers. They would have laughed me out of town!
But being a fairly sober judge of business opportunities, I was immediately fascinated by this elegant system of moving unique products from the manufacturer to the consumer -- and paying average folks to use and talk up the products to their friends.
Fast-forward twenty years to today and I see even wider potential for solving the Boomer retirement crisis with this creative, but little-understood, American invention: MLM, aka Network Marketing.
It helps to understand that most of the products sold through network marketing are replacements for ones that are being purchased monthly by consumers. Due to efficiencies and savings possible in this marketing medium, manufacturers can invest some of these savings in better quality products, and still deliver them to consumers for less money than they could buy similar items at their retail store.
With a large part of retirees' spending going toward remedies for age-related maladies, it is encouraging to know there are natural alternative nutritional products that can provide real, proven relief at a lower cost than pharmaceutical potions. The job for network marketers is to offer education about these superior natural solutions to neighbors who weren't aware of them.
Talking to friends, neighbors, and acquaintances about our health, our lives, and our useful discoveries is something we all can do. This is why network marketing is a viable opportunity for those who want to supplement their retirement income.
With educational tools, such as CDs, videos, and online Webinars provided by expert presenters and physicians, the average networker only need to know how to successfully *invite* others to review this high-quality information. It is not necessary to have all the answers.
What really makes network marketing the best form of occupation is that -- by steadily building a group of consumer/distributors over a 2-5 year period -- there can be an exponential growth in each person's business productivity. All done without employees and with significant tax advantages!
The big money is not made by door-to-door selling, but by enrolling and training a few others who commit to doing the same process of exposing their contacts to useful products and an opportunity to earn more than they could anywhere else.
If the public can come to truly understand what MLM/network marketing is and the blessings it offers, there would be few worries about the Boomers' limited savings for their retirement needs.
For the best explanation of what network marketing is, how it works, and the income potential it provides, see the free video, Brilliant Compensation banner at the top of this page. It features an interview with a Harvard-trained professor of business and a self-made MLM millionaire discussing how this unique business really works. There is no need to give up your email to watch this -- it is my gift to you.
