We're Back!

The reason you haven't seen any blog entries since last Wednesday was that Karen and I were in Dallas, TX. We appeared on the Daystar Celebration show to talk about my book, God's Prosperity Plan. If you're intersted in watching the show on the internet, click HERE and look for the Celebration show on 8/29/08.

We also attended an international house church conference, while we were in Dallas. Over 400 people from around the world who all operate churches in their home or have networks of house churches (as we do - The Open Door). Paul Young, author of the massive NY Times Bestseller, The Shack, was our keynote speaker. If you haven't read this book, click on the title and order it from Amazon or pick it up at your local bookstore. It will rock your world! To date, over 3.8 million copies have been sold and it is radically changing people's lives.

I know that all this doesn't have anything to do with network marketing or does it?

We have found the similarities between network marketing and Christianity* to be quite interesting. Let's look at a few of those.

Christianity began because of one man - Jesus.
He found 12 men and began to share his message.
3 of those became his primary leaders.
They met individually and in groups to share their message.
As the group grew, the spread the responsibilites for training to others.
The message was spread totally by word of mouth, person to person.
As they worked together, friendships grew.
The government and naysayers often spoke against them.
Their message radically changed people's lives for the better.

Now, let's look at network marketing:

Network marketing started with one company some 60 years ago.
We build a network marketing business by sponsoring people.
Some of those people become leaders.
We meet both individually with people and in groups.
As the group grows, you have to train others to teach and train.
We don't have any major advertising campaigns, NM is a word of mouth business.
As we work with people, many of them will become life long friends.
The government and naysayers have been trying to shut NM down since the 70's.
Our business radically changes people's lives.

If you've ever questioned whether network marketing was a good thing, knock it off. I've been in this amazing industry for nearly 30 years and there is no other business model that even comes close to comparing, in the impact it has on people's lives. It is truly The Ideal Business! You are doing a good thing that can dramaticaly impact people's financial futures for the better, so get out there and spread the good word about network marketing!

Have an awesome Labor Day!

*P.S. Although it is categorized as such, Christianity is not a religion. Jesus didn't come to earth to create a religion or to build churches. He came to give us the opportunity to be in right relationship with God and who wouldn't want to be in relationship with the creator of the universe? God has been an amazing business partner in my network marketing business and other businesses. He wants to be your business partner too.
