I’ve heard and used this story myself in several trainings, but this guy does it especially well.

Recession hits the Utah MLM Valley

Thursday, March 19th, 2009

Historically recessions are great opportunities for people with the right knowledge and willingness to take action.  The wealth gap widens.  The rich get richer and the poor, … yep they get poorer.  The middle class shrinks.

It will be no different with network marketing.  Network marketing as an industry has experience unprecedented success lately and now it’s back to reality.  Yes there are more and more people looking for secondary income so there will be more awareness than ever but those companies and distributors who’s business models were dependent on consumers willingness to part with extra income are going to have a serious wake up call.

Texas and MLM success, I didn’t get there as fast as I could

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008

… but I did get there!  It was about 6 years ago and I literally made a spur (no pun intended) of the moment decision to pack it up and head down.  I was fresh out of college, working my mlm business full time and since I was primarily building and recruiting via the internet using leads I had no ties to my location in St. Louis.   I met a fellow networker in my company at the time which was Ecoquest International,  he lived in in Boerne, which is just outside of San Antonio, anyhow he and I had similar visions for our network marketing business so I decided I wanted to work closely with him to develop some ideas and take it to the top together.

Wow I just realized that fully devoping my thoughts on this could take some time…

Long story short we ended up moving on from Ecoquest for a variety of reasons, I’m thankful for my time there because of the mlm leads & marketing training that it gave me but also just the entry to the network marketing industry that I may not have gotten with any other company.   We moved on and tried one of the top juice based nutritional products at the time Tahitian Noni and while they were and still are a great company we missed the momentum wave there and soon found ourselves drowning in a wave of newer and better juices.  We then tried our hand at the travel industry with World Ventures.  We were there in the rocky start which they have long since put behind them but it bucked us off.  I’ve have come to admire the leadership behind World Ventures including Wayne Nugent & Mike Azcue and believe that if any travel based mlm company will make it long term they are the ones that will do it.

Today I am quite thankful for the move to Texas.  It has been a rocky road these past 6 years living in the hill country but without the successes and failures I would not have met the people and learned the lessons that I needed that have accounted for my current massive success.

Speaking of Texas and bloggin, some of my good friends and true Texans the Wersts have put up a Real Texas Blog that you should check out.
