A Birthday shout out, plus a little rant

34
First and foremost, I want to wish my "adopted" little brother and apparently biggest blog fan, Gabe a very Happy Birthday.  
With that, I have to go on  a little tangent about what people actually think we do for a living.  I'm pretty sure people just assume they know exactly what our business is and I have come to find that it is just lack of education on the industry.

Examples:
We do not sell "units" or products to people
I have never and will never have an inventory in my garage that I sell to people
We do not "recruit" people
Neither I, or any of our associates have ever gone door to door
I do not make money off of my friends
It is NOT a pyramid scheme
You will not make a million dollars overnight

Now, don't get me wrong not all companies are like the company that have partnered with.  There are good and bad companies in EVERY industry.  We just happen to be with the very best company with science based products that are changing people's lives.  
Realize: The only reason our incredible founder, Dr. Myron Wentz used this industry to distribute our products is to keep the quality of the products high since direct selling cuts out the middle man.  Our products would be entirely too expensive for the average American if they were sold on store shelves.
There is no money spent on advertising, it is all word of mouth marketing.  

Some facts about Network Marketing:
Over 50% of all businesses in the US are home based
Network Marketing has created more millionaires than any industry in the world
Over 16 MILLION people were involved in Network Marking in 2009

Warren Buffet and Donald Trump are both involved/own multiple Network Marketing Companies Robert Kiyosaki, NY Times best selling author of the "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" series recently published a book, The Business of the 21st Century (about direct selling.)

*But don't take my word for it, listen to an expert: Robert Kiyosaki:

Ahhh.... I feel better :)  Now, off to our weekly presentation!  
Have a wonderful night, friends.
