Sure! The guy said all I have to do is buy his business startup kit, place an advertisement in my local newspaper, then wait for the calls to start coming in. I'll have more orders than I can possibly fill and I'll make a lot of money and if I can teach ten people how to do the same thing, I'll be rich beyond my own imagination.

Has anyone ever approached you in this or a like fashion? Most likely they have at one time or another. Or at one time or another you have approached someone with your own program who has been burned by some shrewd operator who calls himself or herself a Network or Multi-Level Marketer. Don't you just want to take words like that and shove them down the throat of the person who operates like that? It happens all the time, not as much now as several years ago but it does happen. So how do we combat something that was created by someone else many years ago but still rips at the very heart of our industry? I've found a way that works for me and it may just work for you.

There is absolutely no doubt. Network marketing or MLM is now attracting a new type of person. The wave of new style network marketing is having an unprecedented appeal to professional business people.

In the past, MLM has been dismissed by business leaders as an inferior sales distribution channel. Today, Fortune 500 corporations flock to do business through network marketing channels with industry sales approaching $25 billion in the US and $100 billion worldwide.

The industry, once tainted by the image of the hard hitting, face to face salesperson, compelling you with exaggerated promises - is growing up.

You know why you want a home business or to start your own business:

Be your own boss. No one can fire you.
Set your own hours. Work when you want to.
Determine your income based on the work you (and others) do.
Have the full potential of unlimited growth. And you keep the profits!
But so many businesses, home or otherwise, fail. There are many reasons why they fail. Among them are:
Poor cash management. Lack of funding - for start up and slow seasons.
Lack of sales due to bad or inadequate marketing and advertising.
Poor product or service or unstable supply.
Outdated product or a product that becomes obsolete.
