Network Marketing Journey

Some time ago I wrote an article called, Passion for Significance, about Mark Sanborn’s book, The Fred Factor. That article would go on to be featured in his eZine but I never got a chance to speak with Mark himself.Then on October 15th I received an unexpected email.
It was Mark, thanking me for the article [...]

Yestesterday I finished an article I’ve been wanting to publishing for about two months now. Everything finally came through and you’ll soon understand. I’d love to tell you more and I’ve been tempted but that would only ruin the fun.
Enough teasing.
After I finished the article I sat down to relax and watch a movie.Movies are [...]

Avoid salespeople who:

Talk down about other products or firms. Professionals don’t get involved in pissing matches.
Confuse you and abuse your trust.
Deceive you, telling you they’re taking a survey or you’ve just won a contest. If you don’t feel they have your best interest at heart don’t subject yourself to it.

Avoid dealing with companies who:

Pressure you [...]

Those words have been repeated to me more times than I can count in my years of marketing. The number of people who are in network marketing who don’t want to, let alone knowing how to sell their product is astonishing.
I remember getting a call from a networker in the travel industry. He was telling [...]

Building relationships through forums is a terrific, community based way to both market your business and make friends. If you were to go to some of the forums I frequent you would find post counts in the 80-100 range and growing all the time. There are many who have far more posts number in the [...]

When I started my first business I was pressured into joining with the rest of the group. As I got acclimated with what would be required of me I couldn’t help but watch each and every one of them drop like flies. Everyone was giving up. Except me.
It took me some time to get there [...]

Blogging is in my blood, right along with marketing so its only natural that I would have a list of blogs I read every day, or at least somewhere near that figure.
In fact, I do have a small list of blogs I check in on each day and here are is a handful of (about [...]
