3 BIG Lessons about a Co-operative Home Business with Own Your Channel versus Trump's Celebrity Showdown
Even busy networkers relax on Sunday evenings and while "surfing" the channels, I caught the last half hour or so of Donald Trump’s latest Celebrity Apprentice show. He was making a decision about who would hear his famous "You’re fired." It made me happy because $100,000 was raised through hamburger sales for a diabetes charity. That’s a good thing because Type 2 diabetes is one of the fastest growing health problems especially with children. But the ending also made me very unhappy just based on how the final boardroom decision was handled. The image of a butterfly stuck on a pin came across clearly.
The women’s team raised the least amount of money (could it be because they sold hamburgers for $25 versus the men’s team with $100 offerings). So by the rules of competition someone on the women’s team had to be removed or downsized. The implication was this person was the least helpful and productive and would be voted off by peers’ consensus.
Well, here’s where the CEO ran into some demonstrative frustration..enough to make him utter "bleeped" words. The question posed to each woman was "Who most contributed to your team’s failure and who would you fire?" Each woman seemed uncomfortable in pinning blame because they cooperatively felt that each one had done diverse responsibilities well. I think women’s nature tends to affinity, nurture and group protection. In the end, they were forced, and I choose this word carefully, to eliminate one of their own…who just happened to be creative and accomplished in her own right..but older, as if that had anything to do with it…
Therefore, here are 3 lessons to learn from this showdown:
Lesson #1: unhappy endings are not good for the public psyche and repress people's hopes...
WHY? it gives the public perception that business success is somehow determined by numbers only, by competition, appearance, contacts, and status.
The view is that it’s a "dog eat dog world" out there..and who would venture out to "swim with the sharks." If such high achievers get battered, then I don't even have a prayer...I'd be the "biggest loser." Even working long hours, getting paid minimum wage by a difficult boss would be more acceptable than entrepreneurship.
Lesson #2: stronger belief that co-operation and even weak links build network marketing success
WHY? A network marketing home business is the best way for women and men to make some serious supplementary money from home. But again, this particular home business model needs to be done right with integrity and compassion to help…not to find reasons to eliminate each other. In fact, it can be said that network marketing works because it can be also be based on the weakest links. The basic functions are the same...leverage information, duplicate simple plan, and earn residual money from multiple levels. Everyone who has a strong enough WHY reason or dream can follow 3 simple steps, irrespective of background, age, education, ethnicity, experience or culture.
This is why programs that stress celebrity success at the risk of demoralizing more personal perceptions can do more harm than good. We watch and classify how top people are beaten down. How can we detach from their fears, disapprovals or indecisions? Where do our dreams fit in? Maybe our WHY is not worthy enough? Maybe there is too much grinding, struggling, chest-thumping and brow-beating to reach it.
Lesson #3: continued wholehearted endorsement of social network of entrepreneurs called Own Your Channel.
Why? The name of the show is Inclusion..not Exclusion. Everybody is welcome to participate with a few simple steps to success. It's about sharing a powerful video and webinar. In fact, if there is a "cause for firing"..it is because you talked too much instead of letting experts tell the whole story for you. It’s $9 a month ($15 entry fee). You become part of the Entrepreneurs Assembly Line. You get your questions answered politely. When ready you can join profitable companies. You don’t need massive training to be the best you can be..it's not about company, product or compensation…it’s about you and what you hope to achieve as an independent home business team owner.
You will be invited to join a new affiliation with LGN (Little Guy Network). If the one time entry fee is unmanageable, you will be placed in Clearing House for sponsorship.
The power of your WHY is possible and welcome here. A corporate CEO will host the webinars for you. You will NOT hear the words "You're fired" but sincerely hope you DO get fired up instead after watching the video and webinar.
Questions and comments are always welcome.

Home Business Story of the Unemployment Wolf, the Three Plans and Own Your Channel
Home Business Story of the Unemployment Wolf, the Three Plans and Own Your Channel
It’s a fair statement that we live in uncharted times...a new world of tremendous changes that affects everyone of us at all levels from birth to old age, education, careers, family, home, health care, technology, retirement, cultures and even morality. Therein lies deep valleys of uncertainty and high peaks of possibilities. At the same time, we are enveloped by storms of information..so much information coming at us from all directions...what to read, watch, believe and decide?
Sometimes, through the storm, a simple story can best present basic ideas and lessons. There is no better story that has appealed to generations than the Wolf and The 3 Little Pigs. The underlying moral, of course, is that the best prepared individual, given choices, will better outlast any dramatic problems or changes with the potential to live happily ever after.
Let's imagine for this story that Unemployment can be represented as a bad wolf.
Now, a recent New York Times article has outlined how millions of unemployed people face years without jobs as the recession continues to mount, with millions nearing the end of their unemployment benefits.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/35504954/ns/business-the_new_york_times/from/ET
Here are some statistics from the experts:
Back to the story, and the simple premise that it is obvious that the threat of unemployment is like the big bad wolf’s threat to the security of the three little pigs.
In fact, let's take a creative look at these challenges with an analogy...that the big bad wolf is the unemployment attacker and the three little pigs act as the three plans that can best deal with the "huffing and puffing" of this uncertain economy.
Let’s begin this simple analogy...
A deep recession fell upon the land. More people fell out of work and savings petered out, and the menace of unemployment, like a hungry wolf, appeared in the neighbourhood. People accustomed to the comforts of middle-class life began to rely on public assistance for the first time in their lives..could it potentially be for years to come?
People began to look at three possible plans in case the unemployment wolf knocked on their doors.
PLAN #1...Hang on and hope the recession will pass. This somewhat passive thinking is like living in a twig house..no personal income, no protection at the mercy of harsh realities.
a.Try and adapt to live without a secure paycheck or unemployment check. It may mean doing without prescription medications, health insurance, certain amenities, healthier food choices, holidays, education and more.
b. Face the spectre of being homeless as a real possibility.
c. Start to believe you are the failure and blame yourself because of age, weight gain or any other "prominent insecurity".
PLAN #2... Be more proactive and look for suitable other employment.
a. Send out local flyers to clean houses or walk dogs. Check out local job listings. Send out dozens of resumes and not hear back. Respond to online ads with less than desirable offers. Take a state-financed program, many with low wages.
b. Check out more expensive investments in what are considered to be the best jobs (for over forty year olds) where you can make potentially make $100,000. Here are some examples..education administrator, strategic communication professional, community sevice co-ordinator, computer systems manager (need MBA with focus on technology) or even a small scale niche farmer (whatever that means).
c. Browse the internet filled with schemes and dreams to ransom a king's treasures. Network marketing home business opportunities abound but they are too often overly time consuming and expensive with over expectations of royalty-like leadership and followers…and, generally, they are NOT doable by the average citizen.
In my opinion these are like straw houses easily blown away with excuses and failures.
PLAN #3...Consider being a Home Business Owner with Own Your Channel.
a. Start building a main foundation as an independent team for $9 month...similar to a home business insurance that offers protection in numbers and time to learn more about entrepreneurship..the blueprint for success. There are no legitimate excuses.
b. Grow this home team cheaply, quickly, and soon it can become a serious contender to join big companies and make profits from the beginning. Even if a particular company stops producing, your team can join other opportunities.
c. Value the serious efforts to help others by setting up a Clearing House for people who cannot afford even minimal start-up costs for a home business. They can wait for sponsorship into a profitable program with perks. For example, they can get a $299 LGN (Little Guy Network) account for $24 (cost of OYC..enrollment fee plus $9 month)
In my opinion, this is the one and only home business build from solid bricks. The construction starts with master builders. You start by listening to a valuable video that outlines the program. Your "job" is to share this blueprint with others who are looking for more security.
Together you can watch the income calculator and understand the potential of a big home-based team with definite defensive skills as well as offensive strength.
The ending of this story and analogy will be written by different people in different ways.
I sincerely hope you will check out a compelling video as part of plan #3. Get your questions and comments answered. Start building your house of bricks. Join like- minded entrepreneurs standing by to help you.
If you still question the moral value of this simple story...then perhaps a poster from the late 1940’s will help to focus on why you should act today..
"There are two days in every week about which we should not worry, two days which should be kept free from fear and apprehension.
"One of these days is YESTERDAY, with its mistakes and cares, its faults and blunders, its aches and pains. Yesterday has passed forever beyond our control. All the money in the world cannot bring back yesterday. We cannot undo a single act we performed or erase a single word we said. Yesterday is gone.
"The other day we should not worry about is TOMORROW, with its possible adversities, its burdens, its large promise, and its poor performance. Tomorrow is also beyond our immediate control.
"This leaves only one day, TODAY. Anyone can fight the battles of just one day. It is only when you and I add the burdens of those two awful eternities - Yesterday and Tomorrow - that we break down.
"It is not the experience of Today that drives us mad, it is remorse and bitterness for something which happened yesterday and the dread of what tomorrow may bring. Let us therefore… Live this one full TODAY."
It’s a fair statement that we live in uncharted times...a new world of tremendous changes that affects everyone of us at all levels from birth to old age, education, careers, family, home, health care, technology, retirement, cultures and even morality.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/35504954/ns/business-the_new_york_times/from/ET
Here are some statistics from the experts:
- approximately 6.3 million Americans have been unemployed for six months or longer, the largest number since the government began keeping track in 1948. 15 million are officially jobless.
- need 100,000 new jobs a month just to absorb entrants to the labor force.
- large companies are increasingly owned by institutional investors who crave swift profits, a feat often achieved by cutting payroll. Companies hire less or find capital equipment to replace workers.
- the declining influence of unions has made it easier for employers to shift work to part-time and temporary employees.
- factory work and even white-collar jobs have moved in recent years to low-cost countries in Asia.
- automation has helped manufacturing cut 5.6 million jobs since 2000 — the sort of jobs that once provided lower-skilled workers with middle-class paychecks.
- strapped households have less buying power which affects auto companies, home construction, foreclosed properties, retails sales and more.
Back to the story, and the simple premise that it is obvious that the threat of unemployment is like the big bad wolf’s threat to the security of the three little pigs.

Why starting Gold Medal Home Business is Easier Than Winning Olympic Gold Medal.
Have you been watching the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, B.C.? I generally pay attention because it’s great to marvel at the potential of human motivation, discipline and success...sometimes measured in matters of hundredths of a second. The winning exhilaration is undeniable and somewhat enviable because our lives are often measured by these moments of passion. But is there a way we can share joy and success of “winning” without being an Olympian? For example, can we share the joy of “winning” great success in a home business?
The road to Olympic stardom is long and expensive..
1.Assess physical condition and begin serious training
2.Join National Governing Body (NGB) to gain national ratings at various competitions
3.Get coach and start serious competition
4.Find financing to cover cost of living and training full time (family, private, athletic scholarships or corporate sponsorships
5.Attend national championships to qualify for Olympics ..a national ranking determined through previous competitions results
All this involves strenuous training for Olympians to perfect their skills and maintain their phenomenal level of physical shape. An aspiring athlete spends an average of eight hours a day, seven days a week training their body and mind—more time than a full-time job.
They devote their natural talent, dedication, and drive to their sport in hopes of being the best in the world.
At these 2010 Winter Olympic games, in matter of a few seconds (23.17) and spectacular back double full jump, an Olympian became the first Canadian athlete, a mogul skier, to win a Gold Medal for the first time in his native land after almost 35 years of competition. Alexander Bilodeau is now a Canadian icon.
Along with his training and excellence, he gave credit for his drive to his older brother Frederic who has cerebral palsy as a source of inspiration and drive.
When asked about how much the gold medal belonged to his brother, Bilodeau said, “A lot. Growing up with a handicapped person puts everything in perspective. He taught me so many things in life. My parents did, too.”
Do you have a magnificent purpose you wish your lifetime can fulfill?
The road to GOLD MEDAL HOME BUSINESS with OWN YOUR CHANNEL
1. Only assessment you need is the belief the economy is changing beyond your control and you deserve more financial security. You want a secondary income with more personal control to give more stability to your children and even grandchildren.
2. Join the social network of entrepreneurs called Own Your Channel. Read the questions and articles...get your questions answered. This is your training center because we trust your natural intelligence. There is no cost to join.
3. You don’t need a coach…a single powerful video will tell the whole story. You already have strong inner conviction you deserve more and your elf worth is more than some hourly wage. Share this message with like minded people you know.
4. You don’t need a lot of money to get started..in fact, wait until you can see how much you can make before joining any opportunity. Save yourself hundreds of dollars in time and material. Registration fee is $15 to set up and $9 month that helps cover back office management.
As a member of Own Your Channel you will be invited to join the Little Guys Network or LGN
(check the site for features and benefits) If you can manage the one-time $325 enrollment fee, you will start a 2x2 person matrix to earn $777. If you cannot manage the fee at the beginning, and this is understandable, you can get on track in the Clearing House.to receive a free $299 account and join the matrix through a Pay It Forward sponsor from OYC. We call this the Entrepreneurs Assembly Line
5. Imagine the exhilaration when you start making money and then doubling or tripling your profits with multiple other companies. Imagine yourself standing on the podium of financial security.
Of course, it is a great moment of glory and accomplishment to wear a large gold (or silver or bronze) medal around your neck.
But wouldn’t it also be great to sport a bank account with multiple thousands of dollars…so we can afford to pursue all our passions. We stress cooperation where maximum number of people can win rather than competition where only a few are rewarded.
As Bob and Doug McKenzie from SCTV might say, "Beauty, eh?"
By the way, most baby boomers wouldn’t look that great in tight polyester ski suits. The only “moguls” I want to overcome are any mental suppositions that block my home business success with Own Your Channel.

The Tiger Woods Saga and MLM Home Business..3 Similarities and ONE Huge Difference
The Tiger Woods Saga and MLM Home Business...3 Similarities and ONE Huge Difference
Everybody seems to have an opinion about the Tiger Woods scandal…even the Stock Market fell into a lull for 13 minutes as Tiger made his first public appearance and apology in 3 months. For me, the main interest was the psychology of why people behave contrary to their belief systems and the inherent right to learn from their mistakes and get a second chance
The more I thought about this human drama, the more I was struck by certain similarities.
1. The GAME and BUSINESS MODEL
The game of golf remains constant and true to its principles. It continues to exist within the spectrum of personal victories and failures of golfers. There will always be golfers striving for recognition and beating their personal best within rules and protocol.
The MLM industry model…its main concepts and functions will continue into the future within the range of millionaire, poor, new or veteran networkers who strive to make it work as well as they hope to. If goals do not work out as planned, we, as entrepreneurs, have the right to change the rules to better meet changing times.
2. THE MESSAGE
One sincere explanation will be believed or not believed. His apology for his behavior will be received and dissected in as many diverse ways as possible by people with as many diverse viewpoints, including those who may not even play the game or have working knowledge. Those with secondary agendas will step from the shadows and try to capitalize from his fame and fortune.
It happens when trying to explain the Network Marketing Business Model. Some will take a pitch...some will cry foul and some will hit amazing home runs! Some people have no experience, or a bad experience or base their understanding on hearsay. Entitlement or entrenchment is not the channel to make judgments and decisions. In fact, any voluntary, on-the-spot act can produce irreversible results that may take a lifetime to erase.
3. PERSONAL CHOICES
We all need to find our “core values” as we travel a personal journey. Character will decide the direction of the game. It starts with practice and vision to improve and meet individual goals. It includes personal responsibility and respect for team members.
Similarly, people can choose not to see the potential of this home business model based on only 3 simple principles: message, marketing and residual income. Some close the window of opportunity and find fault with the industry, not themselves or lack of training or consistency.
4. PERSONAL CHALLENGE
Herein lies the biggest difference…in most sports…individual excellence is based on a combination of natural talent, dedication, practice and vision.
In network marketing, excellence comes from LEVERAGE.
In other words, you don’t have to spend years of self-sacrifice, training and expense to become the best you can be. You become the messenger and share information by an expert via a webinar or DVD. Imagine if a Tiger Woods double could take all your golf shots!
Imagine if a successful CEO can do all your presentations?
WHAT WE DON’T KNOW CAN HURT US FINANCIALLY.
Of course, many questions remain about Tiger Woods:
How long will his rehabilitation take?
How long before he gets back to playing great golf?
In the same way..networkers have questions. Nobody wants to do something that doesn’t work. The track record for networker success is not very encouraging.
How long before a networker can make some serious money?
What kind of training do I need to make this work for me?
Here’s a personal invitation to you…will you take it, leave it, assume you know, deflect or blame it on someone else?
The time is right to change the way this industry can produce results for the average networker. It begins by reversing the sequence and building an independent home-based team before joining a MLM opportunity. Why not calculate profits before spending money? Why not Pay It Forward and share your success to help others? Why not double, triple your earnings from multiple pay plans?
Remember. Your championship word is LEVERAGE. Listen to this compelling video. Then call me to discuss your questions and opinions. We are here to help and support you. Life is a competition but our team is about co-operation and paying it forward.
In the meantime, I wish the best for Tiger Woods...He is a prodigy with human conditions who has transformed the game of golf. He has a long road to climb with serious crosses to bear and I wish him and his family faith, healing and happiness.
Standing by to help,
Annemarie
In the meantime, if you feel that parts of MLM do not work..let the facts speak for themselves. The facts are, there are 49.9 million people in direct sales that sell 89.2 billion dollars in sales. There are 475,000 new distributors joining each week. Check out the Own Your Channel video now and choose to see what is truly in front of you.

Why Work from Home Business Mom Reads Robert Kiyosaki Celebrates Own Your Channel
Why Work from Home Business Mom reads Robert Kiyosaki celebrates Own Your Channel Even More
Motherhood, Security, Independence..are there any more valuable words. Last week I lived them all and learned some important lessons about being a better networker.
MOTHERHOOD
...involved babysitting three children for my brother and his wife while they went on a much needed vacation. A 3 year old, a 6 year old and a 17 year old became my responsibility. It was full time work...First, the cooking from preparation to clean up from breakfast to a hot lunch to home cooked suppers. Second, the standard duties...mail, shopping, laundry, organization. Third, the quality playtime..reading, sharing discoveries, paying attention, toys, laughter, a few tears, helping, games, redirections (don’t like using the words No or Can’t ) and lots and lots of affirmations. I walked away with a renewed and deeper respect for the countless things moms do (without the aid of a day care facility).
And it’s a full time job..common enough to the last generation..like my mother who raised five children on a homestead...we were her focus, strength and world...a legacy we still enfold.
And it is unconditional protection, love and security for the best of futures.
SECURITY (versus Insecurity)
In the evenings I found a few minutes to myself. I read Robert Kiyosaki’s new book Conspiracy of the Rich. It is written in a readable style that actually does simplify the complex world of finances…what created today’s economic challenges and how they can be tempered. It is definitely recommended for its 8 New Rules of Money with the biggest concern on how the future will be different. Here are just a handful of factors:
One eye is watching the children sleeping peacefully...one eye is now watching warily economic forces unfold over which most families have no control. One hand is rocking the cradle...the other hand is building a life raft.
A home business with a personal supplementary income is definitely an answer in this uncertain economic forecast. The next question is what kind of home business? Who will help me? How much will it cost? How much can I make?
INDEPENDENCE
You can see how busy Moms are and their priorities are with their growing children.
They do not have time to master product features, industry fundamentals, marketing, call lists, self-development courses or metamorphose into an “attraction marketing guru.” They do have valuable skills of friendship, communication, integrity, and talent enough to amplify their earnings with proper support and simple home business plan.
This is why I celebrate Own Your Channel as my family’s way to long-term income and financial independence. It offers the best TRUE balance in the network marketing MLM home-based industry based on three main benefits:
You can start a home business team for $9 month. You can join an Entrepreneur’s Assembly Line and learn in time and association with other social minded networkers. Learn more about how to position yourself in a Clearing House and receive a $299 account to start and Pay It Forward to others.
Robert Kiyosaki in his new book spends a lot of time talking about people investing in their financial education and different ways of preparing for prosperity even in a struggling economy. Read his USA Today excerpt about whether our current education system is helping or hinder us... http://blogs.usatoday.com/oped/2010/02/column-we-need-two-school-systems-.html
This one video is the best financial advice I have heard and it takes about 40 minutes.
Your questions and comments are always important. Let's start by finding out more about what is important to you. If you're a stay at home Mom...my many kudos to you.

My favorite all time quote by Jim Rohn for all families and children:
Indecision is the thief of opportunity.
Every life form seems to strive to its maximum except human beings.
How tall will a tree grow? As tall as it possibly can.
Human beings, on the other hand,
have been given the dignity of choice.
You can choose to be all or you can choose to be less.
Why not stretch up to the full measure of the challenge
and see what all you can do?

- baby boomers are retiring and beginning to collect Social Security in an unprecedented rate..78 million
- suburbs are ground zero for the subprime mess..major shopping centers and retailers are closing their doors while online shopping is taking off
- television networks are losing advertisers to the world wide web
- major airlines are on life support while people visit all over the world via the Internet
- pension plans are going broke both company pensions, health care and Social Security
- China will soon be the richest country on Earth and is asking that the US dollar no longer be the reserve currency of the world

How to Follow the True Majority Nature of Network Marketing Home Business with OYC...
How to Follow the True Majority Nature of Network Marketing Home Business with OYC…not Minority Alpha Leaders
Once in awhile something crosses my desk that is so self-serving and madly contrary to what the true nature of this home business of network marketing is all about. It must be rebutted to show people an alternative, more compassionate inroad to this great home business. Thoughts and words are where people first start to agree or disagree about changing their own belief system. What if certain words will only help to close your mind, underrate and confuse you? Why not, let other words stand in service to your true potential and open your mind?.
Let’s first look at what a few network marketers proclaim. They commonly advertise themselves as the top dogs...the alpha leaders...that others want to follow. Huge advertising campaigns buy many internet marketing audiences and sometimes, it seems, its only their show biz pitch you hear. They offer programs to magnetize your personality...to tap into the phenomenon of an alpha male or female worthy of pursuit by countless wanna-bees. The image of a James Bond looks out with steely gaze and bravado confidence as you are led to think that every successful networker should assume a James Bond role (image and all).
For example, here are some of the benefits of their training (paraphrased some longer statements..I couldn’t make this up if I tried )
…and, get the hottest girls if you’re an Alpha male…I’m really not making this up..
The program is about attracting Alpha Leaders..you are either in their exclusive club or you are called another name, the Betas. These people are described as having “little confidence or value to offer others, so they simply flock to those who do have it in hopes that it will rub off. They are essentially, “unsure” of themselves, or still uncomfortable with the idea of being a leader. They typically live life in a state of “reaction”, where life events and other people dictate their rules and reality. It’s usually someone else’s fault. Beta entrepreneurs cannot exist..only Alphas who can “lead themselves through adversity and challenge”
What egotistical balderdash! Do you buy any of this untrue, unfair supposition?
How can any ONE person focus so much on his / her own biased PHENOMENAL SELF – when proper information can empower and secure financial well-being for so many well-meaning people. Doesn’t it sound like a little “conspiracy of the rich” getting their fingers into this common pie started at the grassroots level?
The foundation of network marketing has always been where average people with above average dreams can start a home business with minimal capital and maximize profits by helping each other to succeed.
Now I will agree with a couple of points:
People do not join a business, they join YOU.
Now, in a traditional businesses or corporations, you need strong, visionary leadership, top-down management, competition and rank advancement based on competence...
Network marketing is based on different concepts where every person is given the same tools, co-operation is the rule and the bottom-up is helped to rise to the top so everyone to experience success. This system is also known as “pay it forward” which can be found on the Entrepreneur’s Assembly Line as outlined by Own Your Channel.
Belief comes before results…what you think sets the tracks for your actions. So why would any one boost their ego at the expense of discriminating against the more democratic majority?
This is where the Alphas blindside themselves by looking too long in their own mirrors. Masterminds may work in other industries but not as well here. Network marketing is not about duplicating a roomful of celebrities and James Bond look-alikes comparing their “hit-Lists.”
The true concepts are based on leverage and duplication with the end result of residual incomes. In other words...every person can share a message from an expert with people they care about who also see the value of a simple plan to make long term income...without the worry of earning a per hour wage in an uncertain economic climate.
Network marketing is not about following alpha leaders and their expensive, time-consuming magnetizing programs that the average person has no reason to do. Give us a break…Its about a simple program that everybody can do like Own Your Channel. (read the many benefits in the previous post)
In a tough economy, the time is right for you and I, the common folk, to reclaim the traditional values of network marketing:
What if...someone considered "unemployable" can become a millionaire?
These stories happen in network marketing. Who would actually say NO to this exciting opportunity?
What if your success would not be hindered, but furthered, if you helped every person in your team contribute at a maximum level with no limits?
What if the Alpha Players played in their own backyards and stopped complicating a simple fair and democratic plan for success:
Leverage
Duplication
Residual
Can you send an email..can you watch a video..can you talk on the phone and see what people think?
What if..everyone started with a mere $9 a month to build a home business team?
Remember two things: Avoid following the Alphas...You are not a Beta..and never will be by choice.
Your questions and comments are important. Let's start with what you hope to accomplish.Annemarie
One of my favorite quotes by a great networker, Tim Sales:
Why does food grow on planet earth, other than to help other life to grow?
Why are humans on planet earth, other than to help other life to grow?
There is only one real business on this planet-the business of making someone's life better

- become naturally attractive...radiate confidence and focus your energies on achieving your goals
- get a strong frame so others are sucked into your reality of what’s possible
- have a lot of rules that others must follow when they are around you
- everyone wants to work with you because you authorize your own hosting, lead generation and marketing campaigns
- love and respect your body, dress with style, and live healthy lifestyles
- show integrity and not tolerate disrespect or in fact ignore persons who don’t follow you

In a tough economy, the time is right for you and I, the common folk, to reclaim the traditional values of network marketing:
- Network marketing is as much about personal freedom as it is about financial independence. It offers you an opportunity to build caring relationships..not just gain position of powers.
- Network marketing is the simplest and easiest way for the average person to experience free enterprise, take control over their earning abilities, and start generating profits in a reasonable amount of time.
- Network marketing eliminates the huge start-up costs and hassles normally associated with traditional business ownership or franchising. Think about it: where else can the average person have the opportunity to earn an executive-level income by working from home? Without having to go to college for years, pile up tons of student loans, and climb a corporate ladder that often they don't even enjoy?
What if...someone considered "unemployable" can become a millionaire?
