I’ve noticed lately that when I talk to people about my business opportunity I am getting a much more favorable response. People are asking more questions and looking for more information. People are genuinely interested in earning more income and are exploring the possibility of network marketing.
I think that the leaders in the MLM industry have started to turn our image around. I use the word image because that’s exactly what it is. This industry was branded with an unfavorable reputation almost 6 decades ago and for the most part, our image was tainted.
That’s changing and it’s changing in a very positive way. Gone are the days where people and most importantly your family and friends, would turn and run the second you open your mouth about your business. Today with our weak economy more and more families are looking to earn an extra $500 - $1000 per month. Network marketing for many reasons is the perfect solution.
This industry has created millionaires around the globe and continues to do so every day of the year. Statistics are clear and show us that 50% of the American population will be involved in some form of home based business opportunity by 2010. These numbers are staggering and show the trend of more people wanting to use their entrepreneurial skills!
But the secret and the key here is to choose the right company, the right comp plan, the right product and the right leaders. I f you join a company that is sub-standard in any of these areas you may be on a direct route to failure. A lot of time wasted and a frustration which lasts for months or even years.
So take your financial future seriously and know that there are genuine leaders willing to lend their expertise and experience to help you win in business. Take a look at what a group of like-minded individuals under the guidance of a “A Call To Greatness” Business Coach has undertaken to do… an incredible journey of hope, opportunity and laying it all on the line to help pave the way for others to follow…. http://www.180daystogreatness.com/

Is Network Marketing Right for You?
A new home-based business is started in the United States every 11 seconds. The home-business boom is the next big trend, and network marketing is one of the hottest home businesses available. It not only offers low start-up investment but also low monthly overhead. Entrepreneurs can start part-time, while still employed, and build the business to replace their current job income. Age, gender and race aren't barriers in network marketing; in fact, well over half of the success stories are women.
There is no perfect personality for network marketing. There's a common myth that network marketing is all about selling, so therefore many people who don't see themselves as "salespeople" shy away from it. Most of the people who are a success in network marketing aren't sales people at all. Success requires a business owner to build a large network of people and the Internet now enables people of all ages to build national and international businesses from the comfort of their home.
Within a few months to a few years people are able to build large organizations. Gone are the days of bugging your friends and family and in fact, your success will have your friends and family bugging you, wanting to know how they can make the money you are making.
Some of the biggest reasons people are flocking to network marketing are time leverage, residual income, and tax benefits. Network marketing is one of the few businesses that doesn't require employees, yet enables the owner to leverage his or her time by building a network of independent businesspeople. This network generates a residual income for the owner. Unlike the income earned at a job, which stops when the work stops, residual income continues on long after the work is completed.
This income will secure people’s financial future and provide more free time to truly enjoy life. The best part is that anyone can do it. Even more exciting are the tax benefits of network marketing. Tax expert Sandy Botkin says that a network marketing home business can result in tax savings of $3,000 to $9,000 per year.
Take a look at the fun things a Mastermind group of 25 people are doing to take network marketing to a new level and to renew confidence and belief in people that they too can achieve incredible heights in their financial and personal life. A solid company, strong brand and robust marketing plan make all the difference. See what we are up to here:

The Group of 25 Marketing Experiment - My Personal Journey September 27, 2008
When I read about this experiment “what the heck, I’ll throw my name in – I won’t get picked anyway so what do I have to lose.” I was shocked, elated and thrilled when I received the e-mail that I was in. Those feelings were short lived and overtaken by the doubt and fear that I had myself that I would let down the team, because I just wouldn’t be able to measure up.
In my typical fashion I gave my head a shake, told myself to buck up and get on with it so that I can prove myself to my family, the group and the world. I know I can do incredible things, but sometimes just like so many people I doubt myself. I question my ability and capability. But like thousands of you out there, I have tremendous potential but sometime it takes another person to help you to reach down and find that leadership quality and bring out the best in you.
It’s only been one week and my life has changed already. The goals are set daily, weekly and monthly. My family is behind me and ready to step up when and where they are needed. It is very important to have family support when taking on an important or meaningful endeavor. They are of course the reason that I am doing this.
My laptop which I use to think of as a tool is now an appendage and is with me all the time. Even now as I am driving six hours to see Sherman Unkefer and Dr. Frederick Templeman I feel the urge to pull over and see if there is another task that I need to be aware of or e-mails that require my attention. It is an exhilarating and exciting feeling to be a part of something so important and new and that’s moving with remarkable speed. Now the old Suzanne has to catch up with the new Suzanne! Fun stuff!
Being part of this group is definitely an honor. A business coach like Nadira is able to bring out qualities in people which they forgot they had or even surprise people with their own potential! This journey will teach me many different avenues of marketing both online and offline, different methods of retailing and I know it will help me to become much more knowledgeable on the computer and business savvy.
But what is more important is, it will get me to push myself, stretch my vision to do things I would usually not do, make me get out of my comfort zone so that I can become successfully both personally and financially. I know that I have what it takes to be a remarkable entrepreneur but steady good guidance and steering in the right direction, shortens the learning curve and makes the path to profit in a much shorter time.
I would of course love to take as many people as I possibly can with me so that they can live the life that they choose to live. It will be one awesome ride if you choose to join me in this journey to great heights in business and in life!
I will see you at the top, the very top, the tiptop….Suzanne

A MARKETING EXPERIMENT ~ Glimpse A Call To Greatness
Something phenomenal is taking place (a call to greatness let's say!). I am part of a select group of 25 working on devising a marketing plan/strategy for an incredible marketing experiment! The company is just about to launch a new skin nutrition product. One product. Top of line, green product, in tune with the environment, more skin nutrition than skin care. So a robust product. Established company. Solid track record. So those are the given parameters.
We have some variables as always. Our environment and economic climate in the USA is somewhat unstable at this time. As such, we will have to factor this into our marketing execution. So overall, some unfavorable economic times. But because of the internet we are now operating in more of a global market. Remember that the objective of every business is to churn a profit irrespective of the economic environment.
HERE'S THE EXPERIMENT. Our Business Coach Nadira Haniff has hand picked a group of 25 people. We are developing a marketing plan in the next few days. Now we are regular folks, just like you and I, distributors, home based business folks, with regular families, and with a lot of gusto and determination to win in business. None of us are advertising gurus or marketing gurus or anything of the sort. We all have our skills however. And we are not part of each other’s team. So we will not earn from the efforts of the others! And we are not paying the coach either!
Anyway continuing, HERE'S THE OBJECTIVE: with a defined marketing plan and a micro break down on each aspect of the game plan, execution is in a methodical, systematic, controlled manner (meaning no deviation from the plan except for fine tuning - we risk getting voted off the group!!). Each of these 25 distributors are aiming to add 100 new distributors to their team in the next 180 days, working within the defined marketing plan and keeping in sync with the team. This would give each of us the foundation not only to earn a really solid income but also gain the knowledge and application of knowledge, to duplicate this exercise and generate a steady flowing residual income.
Each day of this journey will be documented for the entire 180 - 200 days and later used as a tool. Plans, progress, results, fine tuning, fights (not too many I hope!), disagreements, any votes off are all part of the game! Videos will be posted online with, daily conversations and all the fun reality stuff! I am participating like everyone else and getting my hands dirtied and muddied! 100 distributors in 180 days here I come!
So, I would like to invite you to follow along with me and the gang on this journey for the next 180 - 200 days! Can we keep all 25 of these participants in sync and productive at the same time? Can they hit target? It will an incredible journey! You are invited to add any words of wisdom in marketing, planning & execution...the games begin shortly! Looking forward to your comments...
PS: If you would like to know more let us know.

My Businesses
My name is Suzanne and I’ve been involved with Multi-Level Marketing and Home Based Businesses for over 14 years. I have tried many different businesses along the way with some success but nothing to write home about. I am now promoting XanGo, which is an MLM and the SpiderWeb Marketing System.XanGo started in 2002 with one product which was a natural fruit drink from the mangosteen fruit. In August 2008 they launched 3sixty5, a whole fruit vitamin and in November they are officially launching Glimpse, a totally clean and green skin care line. The Glimpse skincare line does not have any harsh ingredients like so many others on the market. If you have any loved ones that use any type of skin care line you owe it to them to give them information about Glimpse. It is in the pre-launch stage at this point so it is available to order at a special pre-launch price. Contact me and I will gladly send you some information or you can view my site at www.thenewfruit.com
I really feel that the SpiderWeb System has a lot to offer for those that are new to internet marketing as it walks you through the set up process with video tutorials so you can see exactly what you need to do. It is also beneficial to the old pros out there that know how to do it all because sometimes we all just get in a rut and do not want to try new things. I know that it has helped me venture out into new territory that I have never been with all my other businesses.
