The Revolution is About to Begin…..its been a long time in the making, but the MLM Masters of the Universe have finally united under one banner, and the results will speak for themselves. Network Marketing is supposed to be fun. If anybody told you anything different, you ought to take a long hard look at who you have been listening to. If you hate what you do, you either ought to be doing something else, or finding a new way to do it. Don’t get me wrong, there are hard days in anything that you do, but you should still have a driving passion for it. Why do you do what you do? Does a fire light up inside of you that almost makes you feel like you can fly? I used to think I could fly. When I was two years old (yes, I remember back that far), I used to always have dreams that I could fly like Superman. I thought they were real. When I would wake up I would jump off of things truly believing that I would defy gravity. As time went on I would go back to sleep and flying would get harder in my dreams; where I once could once bolt from the ground like a bullet being shot from a gun, I would have to flap my arms to get started and slowly lift off the ground.

I was confused. I was probably about four when everyone in my life explained to me that flying was not humanly possible. Being the young and impressionable lad that I was, I believed them. I’m a little older now, and I think they were wrong. How does David Blane do the crazy stuff that he does? I’m willing to bet that the biggest reason is that he believes he can. I wish that I still believed that I could fly, buy I am sad to admit that I have adopted the philosophy that I can’t… not that I can’t forever, but right now my mind is not willing to accept it.

What does any of this have to do with Network Marketing? Well, when someone tells you that you can’t do you believe them? Do you tell yourself things like, “Nobody wants to join my business.”? I’ve always found that one funny. There are over 60 million people that are doing network marketing right now…why is it that some people feel that they are the only sucker within a hundred miles that was stupid enough to join their opportunity? Suckers don’t join MLM, dreamers do, but even if they were fools, there are already over 60 million of us that were dumb enough to fall for it, so I’m willing to bet that if you keep talking to people you’ll find some more.

When two or three are gathered together in one purpose NOTHING is impossible. Dream the impossible, do the undoable, and for crying out loud enjoy yourself in the process. As Sean Connery put it in The Rock, “Losers talk about doing their best. Winners go out and F$#@ the Prom Queen.” We are meant to be champions; stay tuned for the tools that will aid you in becoming one.

I was driving down the beautiful North Shore of Oahu today, and I had some thoughts on the network marketing industry that cracked me up.  I don’t know how many times I’ve heard the, “…Isn’t that one of those pyramid deals…” objection over the years, but for some reason people never seem to get tired of keeping themselves ignorant.

Let us discuss the wonder of the Pyramids for a moment.  These fascinating structures have intrigued mankind ever since their inception.  We don’t even know who built them, or how they were constructed.  They are arguably the greatest architectural feat of all time, and they were used to entomb the Pharaohs, or Gods, of ancient Egypt.  They are filled with, gold, treasures, royalty and endless amounts of speculation and mysticism.

Lets talk for a minute about a traditional job.  First of all they suck.  In our country’s beginning, 85% of people owned their own business, and the remaining 15% worked for them until they knew enough to go open up shop on their own.  Why has this balance completely shifted?  Who sold us the idea that it is better to slave away for someone else for 40 years…. for 40 hours a week…. just so we can retire on 40% of what wasn’t enough in the first place?  That has got to be the lamest system that I have ever heard of and yet we have over 80% of America subscribing to it.

Fortune magazine recently did a poll as to whether or not people liked their jobs.  The results came in:  85% of employees hate what they do and would leave in a moments notice if something else better came along.  Half of these monkeys still cry, “PYRAMID SCHEME,” every time they hear about a network marketing company.  Well genius, I’ll tell you right now I wouldn’t trade what I do for what you do.  40 hours a week, for 40 years to get 40% ….hmmmmmm…. that sounds a lot more like digging a grave than it does building a fortune.

By the time people are old enough to enjoy retirement they have one foot in both worlds.  To top it off, people are working longer now; do you think you are going to retire at 65 in the traditional system?  Well, per the social security administration, even right now at the age of 65, 98% of Americans are flat broke.

I’ll tell you what: You Dig Your Grave, I’ll Build My Pyramid.  Pyramids are a lot cooler than jobs anyways.  Pyramids are the greatest architectural feat in modern history; they are associated with gods and riches.  Jobs just plain stink, if you have one, or ever have had one, I’m sure you know what I’m talking about.  Is network marketing  pyramid structure?  Absolutely.

In network marketing we have the opportunity to be like a Pharaoh and build our own pyramid. Every person that joins an MLM has the opportunity to be at the top of their own personal pyramid.  News flash: jobs are pyramids too, the only difference is the CEO of your company is at the top, and you are at the bottom.  Wouldn’t you rather be the CEO of You INC.?  Wouldn’t you rather start your own pyramid from the top as the CEO than spend 40 years trying to work your way up from the bottom of someone elses?  It just makes sense, doesn’t it?

Just for a kicker for that uneducated skeptic saying to themselves, “Well, that is an illegal pyramid SCHEME….” I am going to take 1 more minute to educate you.  In 1979 two of the greatest events in modern history occurred.  The first was on March 27th, 1979.  On this historic date a child was born in Fairbanks, Alaska that would later come to be known as “Aki Wood.” The second event happened just over a month later, the FTC lost a five year court battle with the Amway corporation that made network marketing legal in the United States, and over 100 other countries.  BAM!

Interestingly enough, according to modern astrologers, the stars aligned just right on March 27th, 1979 to force photons to into the atmosphere that caused a mass awareness to overcome the entire planet.  Many believe that it is this phenomenon that raised the minds of the courts to a higher plane of being, thus inducing the landmark decision of May 8th.  For this very reason many have called me the destiny child of MLM, so if you are in the industry, and you would like a new and interesting perspective on things, feel free to follow my blog.  I’ll be providing valuable training and giving back to the community of networkers as much as I can.  I love this industry and I wish the best of success upon all of you.  Next time someone gives you the pyramid scheme objection just remember; It is Better to Build a Pyramid, Than to Dig a Grave.

Go and Build Your Empire,
