Top Ten Reasons For Network Marketing

1. Full business in a box.
My company, Mannatech, provides all of the items listed below:

1. Warehouse & shipping
2. Customer Service Department & Training Programs
3. Research & Development
4. Accounting, Accounts Payable & Receivable.
5. On-line Computer technology for orders, information, and business support
6. Affordable start-up costs.

2. No hiring or firing

• In business this is a really big deal. Some companies literally spend over $100,000 to hire one new employee not knowing whether this employee will be around next year.
• Firing someone is very stressful and creates nothing but negative energy.
• Takeovers, layoffs, downsizing, passed over … are a thing of the past.

3. Get paid for the work you do.

• No one steals your effort and takes the credit for what you do.
• The down side is that you can’t blame someone else for holding you back.

4. Not a traditional pyramid.

• All companies have a pyramid model. Corporations are stuck with the pyramid of a CEO at the top, all theway down to the guy cutting the grass.
• There is a lot of competition while climbing the ladder, sometimes at the expense of friendships.
• Gossip and backbiting can be the main meals for those who want to advance.
• The ones at the bottom of the corporate pyramid can never make more than the ones above them.
• Network marketing really differs from the traditional corporate pyramid.
• Success is encouraged.
• There are no secret ideas to protect.
• Creativity and initiative receive immediate reward. Sharing ideas is “smart business” & helps everyone.
• Jealousy and tearing down another member is ridiculous – we want each other to succeed.
• You can make more money than the one who is ahead of you.
• Someone else’s success is your success … and your success is shared with others.
• Win/Win is how you keep score.
• People will believe in you and you will believe for the best in others.
• You go at your speed and define success by your own desires.
• You can prosper beyond your wildest dreams. There is no glass ceiling.

5. Flexibility

• Choose WHEN, WHERE and WHO you work with.
• Continue going to school or advancing in another career while building your company.
• Want a week off? Look in the mirror and give yourself permission.

6. Tax write offs

• If you are an employee (have a job) the tax system gives you little to write off. Those making $50,000+/year are likely paying 25 - 35% in government in taxes.
• In Network Marketing your basic monthly product purchase is a tax write off … as is the full cost of your business start up pack. This lowers your annual taxable income and translates into an immediate 30% discount on these product costs. (Try writing off purchases from Wal-Mart!)

But that’s not all …

• Part of your housing, internet, computer, car, insurances, etc. all become potential write offs against your entire income.
• Do you have an office in your house or hold meetings in your living room? A portion of all housing costs (mortgage, heat, hydro, taxes, insurance, etc.) can be considered a business expense.
• Restaurant meals for business meetings, vehicle expenses to get there … write them off!
• Travel – include some legitimate business and it’s a sizeable write off.

7. Discrimination – NONE

• 70 years old? Why not! (It’s better than slinging fries.)
• 2 years old? No problem (with a parent’s consent). Children are no longer a financial liability, they can save for their own college fund and pay for their own designer clothes.
• Poor? … Not for long!
• Just out of prison? … A new beginning!
• Education? … No resume required. Start immediately and learn as you build your business.
• Disabilities? … We all have disabilities.
• You are a valuable member of the team and fully independent at the same time.

8. Mobility

• New career opportunities everywhere you go … even in another country.
• If you need or want to move, your business goes with you.
• Operating your business from a sailboat or an island paradise is a real option.
• As long as you have the internet, you’re in business.

9. Residual income

• Even when you’re not working, your pay cheque can continue to grow based on the investment that you made in the people that are in business with you.
• Making money while on vacation is just way too cool.
• If you get sick or in an accident your income continues.
• If a loved one needs you, you can be there without sacrificing income.

10. Retire on your own terms.

• You may never retire because you are having too much fun!
• It is nice to know that you can gain financial freedom based not just on your own effort but by joining hands with those you have invested your time in.
• Your business can be passed on to your children as an inheritance.

11. Bonus Reason -- Fun

• It is just plain fun to be around people that are cheering you on.
• It’s even more fun helping others succeed.
• Not only will you get lots of encouragement for your business but you will make some lifetime friends.

Living Well--For A Lifetime

So what's it mean to live well?

I'm going to speak about three issues.
Finances, health, passion.

Finances
Financial freedom is not a myth and it's not difficult. We just have to think differently.

Health.
Genetics is likely the key factor. But we can get the most from whatever mom and dad gave us. Proper nutrition, through diet and supplements, exercise and staying out of oncoming traffic.

Passion
This is where you get your energy. Your focus. Your reason to get out of bed. People are on the treadmill of life and never attempt anything. They call this safe. The familiar destroys dreaming. We were made for more.

Dare to dream. Even better, LIVE YOUR DREAM.
