Today, with thousands of people all over the world participating in network marketing, sometimes referred to as multi-level marketing, there are many others who believe this form of business is difficult, does not work or worse is a scam.Although I have no doubt that some are, as there is with more traditional business types, network marketing offers one of the most lucrative business opportunities available anywhere.
If you’ve ever considered network marketing as a form of business on either a part-time or full-time basis and have any question about its workability or validity, I invite you to look at the eleven and twenty minute videos you can access on the following web page Here.The presenters are Tim Sales, a successful network marketer, and Charles King, who is introduced in the second video.Charles King received his doctorate from the HarvardBusinessSchool and is a professor of Marketing at the University of Chicago.I found the presentations compelling.They recently convinced me to recommit myself to my network marketing business. They may do the same for you as well.
Congratulations Barack Obama for delivering the most important and meaningful speech the United States of America, and to my knowledge, the world has ever heard.
Over a hundred years ago, W.E.B DuBois asserted “the problem of the Twentieth Century is the problem of the color line.” Today, well into the 21st century, your direct and honest public discourse on race and politics has severed that line.Anyone that chooses not to see and live through the break is destined to a world that does not work.
Your speech will be the single most important factor that will cause you being elected president of the United States.I am convinced of that.
Thank you for your leadership and being who you are for this country and the world.
You can be a victim or you can be rich, but you can’t be both.
Every time you blame, justify, or complain, you’re “slitting” your financial throat.

Webster’s defines the term victim as “one that is acted on and usually adversely affected by a force or agent.”“Here’s the rub.”One does not need to be adversely affected when he or she feels they have been acted on.
I am a case in point.A close friend of mine several years ago, said to me and I quote, “stop being a Black victim.”He woke me up to the fact that I was being just that when I complained and blamed my mortgage banker and the US Federal Housing Administration for over a year that I was being taken advantaged when the construction loan I was granted was insufficient to complete my project.It was not until his comments that I refocused my energy and sought and received another loan that substantially exceeded the amount I needed to complete the construction.
Just yesterday morning, after speaking with my wife, I found myself again being a victim when executing another contract that I realized I had misinterpreted.Thanks to my wife’s coaching, I recognized my victim-hood and went on to negotiate a new contract saving $2,100.
It is perfectly clear to me that blaming, justifying and complaining is a substantial drain and limitation on one’s empowerment and journey toward wealth,riches and financial freedom.
How Could I Ever Be A Victim? (My two daughter’s and wife. My wife is the shorter one)
Coincidently, I received an e-mail this afternoon from my networkmarketer leader Ellie Drake, posing the question, Are You Off Track?
The coincidence is I had just returned from a long walk during which I was thinking about my struggle to financial freedom.You know how it is at times when we get that knot in our stomachs wondering whether we will ever make it.Although I have been investing and pursuing various business opportunities over the past two years since leaving my job, I am not able to say that I am anywhere near achieving the goals I have set for myself.
Paramount to my struggle has been my attempt to sell the certified license I have with AIS Media or retain the services of an independent contractor to work with me.AIS Media has built a global customer base consisting of small and medium-size businesses and Fortune 500 corporations, offering a full range of cutting-edge web-based applications, Internet technologies and e-business solutions to assist clients drive business profits, reduce expenses and increase productivity is provided.
Although my license is addressed in New York City, it can be moved and our work can be performed practically anywhere in the world.You may learn more about the sale of my license or the independent contractor opportunity by opening the following document at ultimateresolveindependentcontractor.doc and by completing the form at www.networkmarketer.com/oscar and requesting more information.
My success in achieving this objective will put me back on track toward meeting my current goals.
Although I have not written specifically or named on this blog any of the business opportunities I am offering, I did want to note that one of them is introducing some extraordinary new products that will make the opportunity even greater.Essentially, we now have in addition to our investment and income producing strategies a third product to assist our independent business owners in managing their debt.Now we have a comprehensive means for people to achieve financial freedom under one roof sort of speak.We call it 3 Steps to Financial Freedom.

You don’t have to be afraid to want to be rich.You can be rich and there is nothing wrong with that.It is the only way to expand the joy and success you currently have and that of your family, friends and others to whom you contribute, empower and lend assistance. And although getting there is not necessarily easy, I can direct you pass fraudulent schemes, scams and not so good enterprises in this age of information overload and suggest viable business and investment strategies that work for me. They can work for you as well.
Rich people see every dollar as a “seed” that can be planted and invested to earn a hundred more dollars,which can then be replanted to earn a thousand more dollars.
T. Harv Eker
This is an invaluable teaching.The key learning for me is to consider every dollar in my possession as one that can be invested to make more dollars.That includes every dollar I contemplate spending when wanting to purchase something, every dollar I receive in income and every dollar that comes my way as a gift.This is so great.I have noticed that I rarely consider investing as alternative to spending.I am very much an impulse spender and I have merely controlled that by the amount of money I have at any given time.
Now, I see every dollar as a means for making more money.
To achieve financial freedom, this becomes a prerequisite for obtaining wealth and becoming rich.
I am interested in identifying people who are wanting and willing to commit to being rich.
I work with people who consistently crave to expand and empower themselves and their families and have a calling to assist others who view themselves as disenfranchised and desirous of changing their circumstances.
I assist people in creating wealth and becoming rich.
How do I do that?
By introducing you to superior income producing vehicles with which I have direct experience
In doing so, I believe I am substantially contributing to achieving my altruistic mission of Creating A World Community.
If you are interested in collaborating with me to become financially free, independently wealthy and rich, please complete the form at www.netwebmarketer.com/oscarand I will contact you.
If you really want to become rich, then begin by evaluating your work habits and work environment. That’s how most millionaires made their first million. According to Dr. Srully Blotnick, a psychologist and consultant who spent 20 years studying how people became rich, most millionaires didn’t make their money in real estate, the stock market, or waiting for their ship to come in.They made theirs, instead, through their business or profession. They became so good at their job that they made quite a bit of money. Then, and only then, did they turn to real estate and stocks as sites to invest and grow their money. Even then, their basic business continued to produce the bulk of their gains; their investments usually produced only mediocre results by comparison.
There’s a monumentally important lesson to be learned from the hundreds of millionaires that Dr. Blotnick studied for 20 years. The lesson is this: If you really want to become rich, invest in yourself first; invest in real estate, stocks, and other ventures later. Dr. Blotnick divided this into two stages:
· The first takes place when you’re consumed by a business or profession that you enjoy so much that you would do it for nothing.
· After it pays you enough income, you enter the second stage. This is when you become a bona fide investor. You start thinking of and looking for opportunities to use your surplus income.
To set yourself and your career on track, evaluate yourself by answering these questions about:
liking your work:
· How much do I really like my job?
· Does my job bring out the best in me?
· Has it caused me to do more than I ever thought I could do? If you answered any of these questions in the negative, consider a job or career change.
determining if your work is right for you:
· How can I tell if I really like my work?
· How do I know if I’m doing my work right?
· How do I know if I’m doing the right kind of work?
The best way to determine that is to apply these test questions:
· What would I do for free?
· Am I enjoying my work so much that time seems to fly by?
· How would I like the work to be done if I were on the receiving end?
· What would I do if I didn’t have to support myself, but did indeed want to work?
· What work would I do if my doctor told me that I had only five years more to live?
considering my financial rewards:
· Am I contended with my current income?
· Am I in position to influence a change in my income?
· What if the work I enjoy doing doesn’t pay very well?
If you’re satisfied with the first two, then I say, “Hang in there! You’re on your way to becoming rich.” People who became rich did so because they persisted. Only a personal involvement with what you enjoy doing will produce the kind of persistence that propels you out of bed in the mornings and makes you willing to work long and hard.
investing in yourself:
· Am I developing my skills, talents, and abilities?
· Have I made a plan that will help me to develop them?
· Am I constantly improving my relationship with others?
· Do I ask my co-workers for feedback about my performance?
Investing in yourself means developing both of these aspects: the technical knowledge you need in order to do your work effectively and the human relations skills you need in order to work effectively with others. Mr. Joseph Brooks, CEO at Lord & Taylor, once said, “If you love your work, and do it well, someone will spot that … Let the quality of your work do it for you.”
Conclusion: To become rich, do it your own way. Rely on your own talents, skills, and abilities. Invest them in a business or profession that you enjoy doing very much. Invest in your personal growth and development. Become the very best at what you do at your work even if it pays you little right now. If you really like what you are doing, eventually a fat salary will catch up with your reputation. The bottomline is persistence. Become an expert at relating well with others.
Remember: When you maximize your potential, everyone wins. When you don’t, we all lose.
