      INTRODUCTION

      I would like to start this book with one of my favourite quotes in life, by an unknown author.

      It is easer to believe a lie that you have heard a thousand times, than the truth which you have only heard once!

      Why this quote?

      Network marketing is a proven concept that works. However, there have been many pyramid schemes and scams that have resulted in many people believing the lie that all network-marketing systems are pyramid schemes where you will lose your money. They have heard this a thousand times over. Now you come along, and for the first time ever, offer a good honest practical opportunity - can you blame them for being apprehensive? They have been conditioned by the thousands of lies out there to believe something else.

      Hence it is up to you as a leader and entrepreneur to change the viewpoints of the people out there, and offer them the opportunity to take part in a real life changing opportunity that can assist them in their road to financial freedom.

      As an international keynote motivational speaker, I was only really exposed to network marketing when asked to speak at a networking event. Happily I was asked back many times and eventually the industry fascinated me so much, that after one training session, I decided to join the company, as an Independent Business Owner (IBO). However, that spur of the moment decision, gave me a few sleepless nights during the next few days.

      I was already a successful businessman and speaker, fulfilled all my dreams in life, and now I had thrown myself into the deep end, into an industry I had only just learnt about. Coupled with that, I did not really have the time to put in 100%, plus I was a well-known television celebrity in my country, and had to be really careful whom I endorsed. But worst of all, I was speaking/training all the members at the company networking seminars on how to do the business... now I had to practice what I preached! I now had to put my money where my mouth was.

      Thinking back, my original reason for joining the company was that their vision was helping others to become successful. As a motivational speaker who cares about humanity and helping others, it fitted well into my belief system. Even with the little time I had between my hectic international schedule I made my list of 100 friends and started contacting everyone about this awesome business opportunity. Suddenly I saw that in practice, getting friends and acquaintances to sign up in a business I believed in, wasn't so easy. In fact I took it personally and became quite annoyed that these so-called friends did not trust my judgement. In many respects it was an interesting learned experience and it showed me a complete new way of doing business.

      A few months later I already had a down-line with well over a thousand people. However, I also understood the concept quite clearly that only a handful, if that many, of the people I had sponsored, where doing most of the work. The majority where initially excited in the beginning, and then suddenly faded away. I had personally also paid out of my own pocket for some individuals to join and give them a start in life. Also a mistake, as these never took the business further.

      In short, I learnt a lot, plus realized that besides having to be a leader oneself, one needs to select your down-line carefully and identify certain leadership qualities in them too.

      It also dawned on me that people only join a multi level marketing business for one of three reasons:

      Financial gain and how much they can earn

      Great products and later on they see the huge earning potential

      Were sweet talked into the business by you with the belief that it is easy

      Which of these is the best candidate to sign up? This is difficult to say as many other varied factors come into play. Bottom line though, it's up to you as their up-line to not only lead, but to guide and help your down-line into fulfilling their dreams. This job is of course much easier if you sign up the right people, for the right reasons, and who have certain leadership traits, or potential which will take their and your business to new heights.

      In fact none of the above answers are correct! You need to sign up people that truly want to bring about a change in their own lives, and who see the opportunity of reaching financial independence through
