Independence in Network Marketing Today

Independence – Truth or Fake?

Today network marketing is an excellent opportunity to work for your independence. Yes, WORK!

Too many sites on the internet propagate “get rich quick” schemes online, claiming that they are network marketing businesses. However, they are not. Instead all this hype is tinting the reputation of the industry.

What is Net – Work – Marketing?

As the word implies it is a Net of people Working at Marketing. A net in a way implies that there is no hierarchy, that there are many equal “cells”. Yes, people have different levels of success in network marketing – but doesn’t very much the same also apply for any other business or profession?

It is always those who succeed, who are good at it, who apply themselves diligently, who have persistence and don’t let themselves be discouraged.

When I looked at the numbers of opening and closing businesses at the Chamber of Commerce one day, I was stunned to see how many businesses that open do not succeed and close even within their first year. A network marketing business is a business as any other, and as a result it cannot be a surprise that many of these businesses close again within a short period of time.

Does this mean running a restaurant does not work? No

Does this mean running a car sales business does not work? NO

So why the hell should it mean a network marketing business doesn’t work?

I hope you get my point. It is not the business which is not successful it is the person who is not running it successfully. Does it mean it is the person’s fault? It may be, but in many instances is it not.

Very often it is simply lack of education, as unlike in many other trades or professions, network marketing doesn’t have an established training course. Even corporate training may very well not serve the purpose, as many network marketing companies have a management who have never done network marketing themselves.  So how can they train anyone successfully?

Yes, network marketing is designed to give you independence if you play by the proven rules. Get trained by somebody who is doing it successfully now. NOW being the critical point about it as change is rapid in this industry.

Have a critical mind, choose well and claim your independence by building a successful network marketing business today!

To Your Success

Communicate With Your Heart!

Author: FriekeKarlovits

…oh, NO – not a love affair…………I am being serious YOU need to find your heart and finally see why we have it apart from the biological function it has in our body.

At all times in history the quality of the heart  showed up in society – in places like on this photograph an ancient tree where people go and write down their wishes on a slip of paper and put it in the string so that it may come true.   

IM000460 It reflects: “I wish with all my heart” and I hand it over to the higher power to handle it.

In a time where the rational mind is totally overrated and schools and universities have their focus on learning “the parrot way” too often this quality of listening to the heart was even ridiculed for decades and longer.

It is this shift in the quality of time which dawned many years back, which started to redirect the focus of people to their more subtle qualities, like acknowledging the gut feeling to say it the common way, which also permitted new developments in our society like the development of network marketing as a new industry with entirely different perspective. However, in a world of rational thinking and calculation it took a while until some understood what it is all about with this new industry.

Even 20 years and more back there were groups who had understood the power of thinking with the heart. They taught topics like: find your dream, live your vision, connect through the heart and I still remember that I was sitting at a seminar and wondered: “What the hell are they talking about”? I would have wanted to know more about the commission plan and how it should be presented correctly or to have detailed information about the products and how they could be sold – in fact I felt really alienated by what was going on. It took me years of failure until it finally started to dawn on me, that these people might have a clue how to do this business successfully.

In spite of all these years of failure I was still in this industry – I am not a quitter and I considered it a challenge. Having continuously watched people succeed who were normal people, with perhaps less education than I had – I simply had to figure it out!

To make you understand – I am a green personality – I want to know it all and precisely – what a predicament to be in when you are used to succeeding with your brains and now realise there are areas where it is of no practical use and it was a big “aha” moment when I finally realised and acknowledged that it is the heart quality in communication which makes all the difference.

I figured it out and eventually built a network marketing business successfully. It is this long stretch of digging and learning though, which has given me some insights which are worth while sharing.

Since this world and life are never at a stop of course and the age of the internet has changed this industry entirely, learning never stops and it is great to be in a group where you can draw from the knowledge of the most diverse people – internet savvies, communication experts, writers, top advertisers and more. You certainly need to learn from those who do it, as Michael Dlouhy, Richard Dennis and others.

It works so well as all of them have understood that communication from the heart makes the world go round, is the basis to create lasting friendships and help people achieve their goals but also their dreams.

You are more than welcome to be in touch and that way take a short cut to what took me years!
