So you want to be a Network Marketer? Have you looked at the facts?

So you want to be a network marketer? Have you really thought this through? Why don't we examine the facts and see if you still think it is a good idea?

So lets start with the job pros and cons.

Job Pros:
Steady income.
Possible 401k or retirement plan.
Possible quarterly, semi-annual, annual raises.
Christmas/ holiday bonus.
Employment security.
Health Insurance.
2-3 weeks paid vacation every year.
The relationships with the people you work with.
There may be other pros but these are the ones that come to mind.

Job Cons:
Income is usually fixed (even in a commission job).
Raises are not guaranteed. And in tough times may be frozen.
Office politics.
Bonuses can be eliminated or postponed until "things get better".
Employment security, once a big point is now a thing of the past.
Paid vacation, but if something comes up you may have to cancel your plans. Company first.
Insurance. Is a job worth health insurance?

Network Marketing pros:
Make your own hours. Work when you want to.
Meet and develop relationships with really neat and unique individuals.
Have your own business.
Have tax write offs.
Earn what you are worth. The sky is the limit.
You can start part-time and build your business until you replace the income from your job.
Help other people become free from their jobs.
No Boss! This is a big one for me.
Have time for your family and friends.
Have more money to donate to causes that are dear to your heart.
Time Freedom.
Residual Income!
There are more but these are the ones that come to mind.

Network Marketing cons:
You have to pay for your own insurance, although as a business expense it is probably deductible.
You have to work, but in a job you have to work also.
No paid vacation, but if your business is built right you have income coming in whether you are working it hard or on vacation.
no retirement package. (see above)
There may be some other cons but these are the ones that come to mind.

Well I made up my mind a while ago. I know I made the right choice and am sure you did also.
Here is a book that has helped me understand what is really involved in building a strong Network Marketing Business. If you are interested please feel free to give it a read. It will save you years of failure and frustration.

MLM Vampires are Lurking Everywhere!

Another great story from my friend Gillian,

DON'T GET "SUCKED" IN! Beware! MLM Vampires are everwhere searching for their next victim. Will it be you? They disguise themselves well by posing as your friend or family member, neighbour or the "nice" guy that bought your coffee at Tim Hortons. First, these Vampires suck you in, then they suck your wallet dry, and finally, they manage to suck the life right out of YOU! These Bloodsuckers go by another name, as well - they are called Recruiters and will stop at nothing to SIGN PEOPLE UP!!! They have no interest or intention of "teaching " people the Business that they are in. YOU have a price tag on your head and they want to cash in on it! Now to be fair, I must say that these Vampires are just doing what THEY themselves have been taught to do by THEIR Sponsors. Personally, though, I can't help wonder if these people have any integrity at all because they can't ALL be unintelligent, can they? These Recruiters are the "Worker Bees" that keep the rich Vampires of the Company happy. The more victims they recruit, the more Bonus money they receive. Some MLM Companies encourage this behaviour because they don't care HOW they are getting rich - only that they are making huge amounts of money! Unfortunately, it's these type of people that truly damage the reputation of legitimate Multi Level Marketing Businesses. There are excellent ones out there but you have to know what to look for. Don't be lead by your emotions because that is exactly what these Bloodsuckers are counting on! Think and do some research on the Company. Take your time and do it right. If I can stop even ONE person from being "scammed" like I have been, then this article was worth writing... Be safe, my friends Gillian

Is Your Sponsor a Dope? Or is She just Smoking It?

IS YOUR MLM SPONSOR A "DOPE"?
OR IS SHE JUST SMOKIN' IT?!!!

True story! At the end of April of this year, a close friend approached me with a " Home Based Business Opportunity" that
she was introduced to by a long time friend. Naturally she wanted me to be the first person to share it with, so I agreed to look at it. My
friend has known this woman for years and completely trusted her and the information she provided on this "incredible
opportunity".
With tales of "I make more in a month than you do in a year" and "I've only been at this business for ten months" , along
with "I'll build your team for you - I went to Regional in two days!" we signed up immediately!!!
We were Business Owners! WOW! All we needed were three people, right? .....Not exactly.....We followed the rules and made
phonecalls, presented to anybody we could corner, tried to get people to meetings (even going as far as picking them up
and driving them there like prisoners!!), unwittingly telling people the same "lies " our Sponsor told us! We took a course
because we were going to be "Leaders in our region." We quit our jobs! (Got to have time to build our fortune, right?
Besides, even our husbands would be retired by the end of August!)
Our "Sponsor" would come to town and then stay at our homes. Harmless enough, after all, this woman was our Mentor!
Now I try not to be judgemental of other people, and what you do in the privacy of your own home is entirely up to you,
but when this woman started each morning with a big fat joint (and continued smoking pot throughout the day!), I was
NOT impressed! Was this woman stoned when she was giving presentations? When she signed people up? To add
insult to injury, she brought her two little dogs with her that proceeded to use my house as their personal bathroom! (I
changed the name of the breed from Pappilons to Crappilons!)
Needless to say, I was choked, and by this point I had lost all respect for this woman and I began questioning the whole
situation. She even had the nerve to invite other Reps to stay at my house when they were passing through without asking
me!!
Then my girlfriend and I noticed that our friends were'nt even signed up under us! (Our "Sponsor" had entered them into
the system and leveraged them for herself, of course, at $250.00 a pop!)
By this time we are feeling like we are duping people with these recruiting methods and why were we trying to "get people
into the business" when they were'nt even looking for one in the first place?!!!!
SOOOO.... the next logical step was "THE NET"! YEAH- that's the ticket - we will find people who want to be in a Home
Based Business on the internet!!! Problem solved, right?.......Again, not exactly......The internet is a remarkable and
valuable tool, but it is akin to the ocean - tons of Predators and an unlimited supply of Prey!!! (Can you guess which
category new people to this industry fall into?!! )
I have to tell you that my little "fins" have been nibbled on considerably by some sharks BUT I am still swimming!
I could have saved myself a lot of time and money (which,by the way, I am in the process of putting these 100% Money
Back Guarantees to the test!!) if I had only found Mentoring For Free first! At first it was a hard concept to swallow -
"what do you mean FOR FREE?", but that is exactly what these people do. They help you and guide you....for free!
This E-book is a MUST read BEFORE you ever get into a network marketing company!
My friend and I are not quitters - we believe we are stronger, wiser and more determined than ever to succeed in a
Home Based Business.
I could be angry and bitter over everything that has happened, but instead I would rather share my story and hopefully
save other people some some time, pain and money! You CAN make an incredible income in network marketing IF
you start at the right place!
Live...Love...Laugh....Have fun every single day!!

BAIT EM'...HOOK EM'....GUT EM'....LEAVE EM' TO ROT!!!!!

Does this sound familiar? Your good friend calls you up and is so excited that she can hardly get the words out fast enough! She tells you about this "INCREDIBLE" business opportunity that SHE has just been introduced to by her GOOD friend that she has known for years and TRUSTS completely! Now, because YOU trust THIS person you agree to attend a Presentation with her.

The meeting is fantastic, the energy is high and all the right words are thrown around - "ground floor", "excellent products", "unlimited amounts of money", "growth potential", "all you need to do is know 3 people", "We will train you", etc., etc., etc. Everyone is pumped and best of all, the start up cost is very small....

You're excited! You sign up! You are a "Business Owner"! You fell for the "Bait" and they "Hooked" you! But you don't realize that, just yet, because you KNOW that you are going to be making as much as your Sponsor is, in a couple of months. She promised that she was going to "get you to the money making level"! You trust her - after all, she IS your Sponsor and Mentor, right?

So you do everything she tells you to do - make a list of 150 people and start calling them! You manage to snag a few of your close friends to join up but that's it.Your Sponsor pats you on the back and tells you to keep up the GOOD work! But it's not working.....people are not interested....people say they will phone you back and never do...people hang up on you....Your Sponsor tells you " Don't worry - a "NO" is a good thing - it's just getting you closer to a "YES"!!!!!!!!!!

By now you are re-thinking this whole procedure because you still don't have the Downline that your Sponsor was going to help you build. You are still 3 people away from that money making level! Your friend (that introduced you to the Business) is 2 people away. Between you both there is 10 people on your "team" and nobody is making anything!

Wait a minute! That's not true. SOMEBODY made some money! Your Sponsor/Mentor ( who is on the "money making level") made about $425.00 a head! That's right, she now has $4,250.00 in her pocket!!! And where is she? She has moved on to another town where the " Fish" are plentiful!

You, my friend, have just been "Gutted" and left to "Rot"!!! Along with your friends.............

Not all MLM Businesses are like this! There are some excellent opportunities as well as the "Fishy" ones! What people need to do is educate themseves BEFORE jumping into any MLM "Pond"! That education is FREE for the taking if you know where to look. People need to do their homework to avoid being "Caught" by the those "Fishermen"! There are some terrific people out there that will gladly Mentor you for free - I know because I have met them and work with them - and you can too!

Don't Give Up!!!!!!

Ask me about my "Two Minute Story"

Are you ready to learn the langauge of prospects?

Are you ready to learn the secret language of prospects?

Please join us this Saturday evening at 8:55 pm ET to
hear Richard Dennis and Bob and Anna Bassett discuss
the Colors of Personalities ...

The Secret Language of Prospects!

Have you ever wondered how one person can talk to
25 prospects and sign up 20 and another person can
talk to those same people and struggle to get just
one?

The one thing common to both situations is the person
doing the talking. So what is the difference between
someone who can attract 20 out of 25 and someone
who can attract 1 out of 25?

That difference can lead someone to high levels of
success in any business and any job. If you know this
secret, you can basically determine your own destiny.

Want proof?

Here are two people who learned this secret and applied
it to their jobs. One person applied this secret at his
sales job and earn an extra $1,000 in just two days.

Another person took this secret and applied it to some
prospective clients that had never bought from their
company. These prospective clients turned into paying
customers to the tune of over $180,000 in just 6 weeks.

This secret when properly applied can allow you and
any one who wants to use it to write their own check.

What is this secret? What can it do for you?

To find out, you need to join us in our tele-seminar
this Saturday, August 1, at 8:55 pm Eastern time.
Just send an email to:

TimothyCBurns@gmail.com

with "Secret Language" in the subject line, and we'll
send you the access information for this call.

(If you can't make the live call, we will have it archived!)

If you are ready to turn your prospects into customers
and business associates, then you need to be on this
training.

Email us now. You'll be glad you did.

Good Luck and God Bless You,
