Dear Prelaunchinsider.com Reader,
This is how I went from Zero to Hero in network marketing
It’s funny. My father was, and still is, an armchair entrepreneur and, to my mother’s vexation, has been affiliated with more home-based business opportunities than you can shake a protein shake at (that was an attempt at home business humor). While I was growing up, my brothers and sisters would fight with each other over whose privilege it was to check the mail. Every week was like Christmas at the Falter household because we were always receiving mysterious new packages filled with miscellaneous merchandise. Everything from nutritious food tabs, to mini-trampolines, to waterless car wash sprays, to energy elixirs, to face lift creams, to healthy chips, to protein shakes (can’t leave those out), to concentrated soap, to light bulbs, to weight loss pills, to water filters, and the list goes on. Although I was always interested in all these cool products, and used or consumed more than my fair share, I never wanted anything to do with the businesses associated with these prod
ucts. What can I say? I was a kid! When Dad was giving opportunity presentations in the living room, I was sneaking quietly out the back door to go play basketball with my friends. It’s funny how something I had so little interest in as a youth became my passion as an adult. Eventually network marketing would support my family, my extended family, and a variety of other worthy causes and concerns. Ironically, I did not become interested in network marketing until I actually moved away from home and was approached by a complete stranger. What this stranger said to me made sense and suddenly, I put down the basketball and I was all ears. After I was converted to network marketing by a total stranger, I then started calling my father on a regular basis to compare notes… from my armchair.
I became officially involved in network marketing during my first year of college. While enjoying a delicious plate of chicken cordon blue at my dormitory cafeteria, I received a compelling sales pitch across the table from a fellow student. He invited me to a product and business opportunity presentation and even offered to arrange to pick me up since my only form of transportation was a hand-me-down Schwinn 10-speed with half the gears missing and semi-flat tires. That night, my soon-to-be business mentor, Paul, rolled up in his brand new, fully loaded Pontiac Grand Am purchased with home biz cash. The temporary license plate was still in the back window. Paul proudly displayed and demonstrated all of the features and high tech bells and whistles as we rolled through the neighborhood on our way to the business opportunity meeting. One thing that impressed me about Paul is that he was not much older than me, but really seemed to have a handle on his finances. And he was one
of the first guys I’d ever seen with a portable cell phone, you know, what we used to call the Motorola “brick” phone (back in the day, this was the symbol of cool). He really knew how to throw out the “broke college student” bait. I was caught, hook, line and sinker.
At the time I was a full-time student in my first year of college, volunteering many hours with my church, and working a minimum wage job that I didn’t like in order to pay for dates with my soon-to-be bride, and my engagement ring layaway plan. Oh, and there were also these things called school expenses, and some basic necessities of life, but these were of little consequence by comparison. Needless to say, I was very open to suggestions on how to make more money in less time, and find more time to enjoy the things I liked to do with the people I enjoyed doing them with. I was on my second job in six months, but still felt my skills and time were worth more than I was being paid, even though I had yet to earn my degree. Being open to any ideas, and having nothing to lose and everything to gain, I agreed to attend my first opportunity meeting.
The Road Less Traveled
The meeting changed my life in every way. I wish I could go back and thank the people who first addressed me at that meeting and lit a flame in my heart. Little did they know that this flame would never be extinguished, and would grow to become a raging volcano of purpose and passion. Even though I was attending college at the time and just deciding on my major, I knew from that day forward that my formal education was not going to help me find an opportunity with this much potential.
Even though I never experienced any substantial success with that specific opportunity, this was my first exposure to a “modern-age home-based business. Not unlike a franchise, a network marketing home business plan was a streamlined business building system complete with competent leadership, easy-to-sell products, and a lucrative compensation plan. Most importantly, it provided all the free training and mentorship a poor college student could ask for. I spent a few months with this company and learned much before I was lured away from this opportunity into greener pastures. However, I never regretted the experience and think about it often. It was through experiences like this that I gained the necessary knowledge to make the right choices later in my career. This is how I began my MLM career.
Over the next few years, I was foolishly enticed into several different network marketing and home-based business opportunities, one after the other. Although, I had nothing to show for it after several years, these were the years that I tell everyone that I earned my “PhD” in the school of hard knocks. What kind of education could be better? So where was the turning point? How did I pull myself out of this failure slump?
Uncle Daren will share that story with you next week. If you want to know sooner, read the first chapter of How to Select a Network Marketing Company.
