companies - and I experienced some real struggles - some successes - and some failures! - oh yes! :>)  As well, however, I gained a special "inside look" at the industry, as follows ...

​

ANMP - I've been active in the industry's 'professional association' for 4 years, having had the privilege of serving on their Board Of Directors, representing Canada (ANMP.com - the Association of Network Marketing Professionals). ANMP is a global, non-profit, voluntary organization which serves to educate, protect and support every (Network Marketing) Field Affiliate / Associate / Rep, worldwide. This is a "different" body than the DSA (which primarily serves the Network Marketing "companies).

​

That 4 year ANMP experience enabled me an unusual opportunity to see the good (and the not so good) of the industry itself, of many companies, of company CEO's, of top industry leaders / marketing systems / products / compensation plans, etc. I feel it has put me in a fairly strong position to be able to "evaluate" these various sectors.

Some Words of Advice

​

Network (InterNetwork) Marketing is not "perfect" - NO (but show me any business / career / profession that is). And I truly believe that not "everyone" is ideally suited for the Network Marketing industry (any more than they are suited to being an entrepreneur or airline pilot).

​

Pyramid - Also, there are some people who would label almost all Network (InterNetwork) Marketing companies as illegal "pyramids". While there "are" (so-called) Network Marketing companies out there, that might "look" like they are legitimate, it is true that many are nothing more than "schemes, scams, or pyramids" ... so careful "due diligence" is  imperative.

​

Network Marketing is not EASY either -- it's SIMPLE, yes (and low risk) -- but it is not easy. In fact, building a successful business in this field can be tough -- it does take some HARD WORK, and some PATIENCE, and some knowledge of good (learnable) MARKETING strategies and a few PEOPLE SKILLS (in communication & building trusting relationships).

​

ENTREPRENEUR Mindset - Many people who come into Network Marketing do so from a JOB, with the mindset of an EMPLOYEE, where they "need direction, guidance, a schedule, a boss", etc. In 'Network Marketing' however, it's a whole different ballgame. YES, there is a high level of the 'best' training and support available, for sure - but in Network Marketing, suddenly, you do become your OWN boss - with NO "baby sitting" - and NO "hand holding" - yet, a ton of SUPPORT (IF it is a solid company, with good leadership, and tools, and it is chosen carefully).

​

Network [InterNetwork] Marketing - Advantages

​

When it's compared to "any" other business / professional model, Network Marketing has some enormous advantages ... it can enable average people - without large capital resources -- or a formal education -- or a famous bloodline -- but with a large DREAM, and a burning DESIRE + a willingness to pay the PRICE ... it gives ordinary [and extra-ordinary] people a real "chance" to achieve  total financial and time FREEDOM (a rarity). In other words, a way to truly - OWN YOUR LIFE.
