Often people have mental mountains to climb in order to benefit from Network Marketing.
Let’s face it, some people can’t stand criticism or remarks they get from relatives and friends when they consider joining a Network Marketing company. Stop and consider the fact that most people can count on one hand (not using all their fingers) [...]

Motives
Do you really know my motives?
People only “think” they know about motives and don’t really know. In fact, lawyers and law enforcement spend a lot of time on that question: “What’s the motive?” Movie thrillers evolve around complicated motives and misdirection.
When I became Marketing VP of an engineering/manufacturing company one of the first things I [...]

Seasons
What do you do when your business endeavor is “out of season?”
“Preach the word; be urgent in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.” 2nd Timothy 4:2

Not Paid to Think
Maggie Mahar writes in Money-Driven Medicine:
“In truth, it is not only that physicians are not trained to listen; they are not paid to have long conversations. ‘Unfortunately, American medicine has come to rely much more on diagnostic testing than on knowledge and cognitive thinking,’ Dr. Bob LeBow, the former head of three community health centers [...]

Rapport
Rapport: “Relationship, especially one of mutual trust or emotional affinity.”
This article doesn’t apply to everyone because some people understand how to make a personal connection with an audience (it’s almost a gift with some people). Others don’t connect so their personal stories may not be well received.
Sometimes people attempt to make a connection with [...]

Power
“Power is the ultimate aphrodisiac.” Henry Kissinger

Who are You?
This isn’t a: “Who do you think you are question.” It’s a: “Who are you really question.”
One thing I’ve enjoyed about being in Network Marketing a long time is observing people (including myself). If any business will cause a person to ask themselves: “Who am I really?” I think it’s Network Marketing. [...]

Patent and Other Laws
I believe in free markets. People talk about “free markets” and then they pass laws, like patent laws, and wonder why the free market system doesn’t work. Think about all the laws that close markets.
Maggie Mahar (former Yale University Professor–book will absolutely shock you about our Health Care System) writes in Money-Driven Medicine:
” Too much [...]

Big Pharma Marketing Companies
Maggie Mahar writes in Money-Driven Medicine:
“From 1993 to 2003, prescription drug prices rose by an average of 7.4 percent a year–more than twice as fast as inflation. But when questioned about price hikes, Big Pharma is reluctant to say exactly how much it spends on marketing, preferring to talk about research and development. The consumer [...]

English Movies
Don’t tell your story like an English Movie.
If you are English, or love English movies, please don’t be offended just because of my example (my wife’s a fan).
Your story has to start with some kind of “Hook” right away so that people will stay with you. If we start any story, speech, movie, etc. [...]
