Why Network Marketing is no longer a laughingstock!

There's an old saying that says "It's best to work smarter not harder."  I don't know about you but I personally very much agree with this thought.  Life and success are much simpler this way wouldn't you agree?

So if that's the case how do we work smarter without working harder.  Ah, the million dollar question!  Most Americans are conditioned to get a job, work 40 hours a week, get a great benefits packages and hope to hold on to that until retirement and then kick back, enjoy the sun and never have to worry about life again.  Sound familiar?  Well what's wrong with this picture?   Could it be some of these facts

• the average person will hold 9 jobs during their lifetime
• the probability of losing your job or having your pay seriously cut because you're making too much money is higher than ever
• there's always going to be a boss at some point in your life that's going to make your work life miserable
• you can't pass your job along to your loved ones
• you have no control over whether you have a job tomorrow and you therefore have no control over your income

Now I know I just ticked off everyone who has a job and is reading this blog.  Well if I did that was not my intention. My intention is to get you to think and look at how do I work smarter and not harder.  

And that's where a good network marketing opportunity can play a role.  Yes, I said it.  Network marketing!  Those dreaded 2 words that also are spoken in the same sentence with "pyramid", "one of those things", "scams" and God only knows how many other slang terms.  But the truth of the matter is there is NO better path to financial freedom, living the life of your dreams and protecting yourself from a recession than a good solid network marketing business.  Don't believe me?  Well would you believe it if Donald Trump said it?  How about Warren Buffet?  What about the author of the best selling book Rich Dad Poor Dad, Robert Kiyosaki?  Would you believe him?  Well all 3 of these financial geniuses have endorsed network marketing as the best pathway to these objectives.  

So why now has network marketing become this great opportunity to work smarter?  Why now are there more of them than ever?  Folks, I can sum it all up in one word.  INTERNET!  The internet has changed everything and made the impossible possible, the ability to own a business without risk doable and the opportunity to live the life of your dreams without punching a time clock a reality.

 

 And by working for yourself and building an asset that will pay you whether you're working or not you're working SMARTER!

What could be better than being able to drop what you're doing and go enjoy a sunny day, or go to the beach or just kick back and relax but not having to worry about where the money is coming from. 

Well, Ron, I've looked at those things before and only the people at the top make money!  And you have to get your family/friends to join you!  And you have to bug people to buy your product!  I'm going to shock you now but guess what.  All of these things could be true; HOWEVER, let me explain.  

There are some companies where only the people at the top do make all the money.  Guess what. Stay away from them!  There are plenty of other good ones out there where that's not the case.

Regarding family/friends, let me ask you a question.  If you knew someone who was miserable, broke, unhappy with their job or financial situation and you had an answer for their problem do you think it's bothering them if you ASKED them "Are you open to seeing something that can change that?"   Notice I ASKED!  If they say no drop it.  That simple!  But I can tell you from experience if you ask a question to someone who fits that profile you may be shocked to hear what they'll say.  Now by asking a question am I bugging them?  

As far as my product is concerned let me ask you another question.  If you had a product you believed in and you knew there was a HUGE market for that product and that market was growing do you think it's bugging someone if you asked them "Are you open to trying this?"   

Huhhhhhhhhhhhhh!  It can't be that simple, Ron!  Nothing is that simple.  Well, you're right again.  And that's why it's not a get rich quick scheme. But if you find a good company (like I did) in 2 to 3 years you can actually build an asset that will pay you for the rest of your life and allow you to live the life of your dreams in as little as 10 to 15 hours a week.  

And I'm going to shock you again folks.  It's actually fun!  What can be more fun than changing someone's life for the better and watching them realize their dreams.   

And that my friends is why network marketing is no longer a laughingstock.  The laughingstock are the people that criticize it.  And how much fun do you think it is to prove them wrong?  That might be the best reason yet!
