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.
