John David Mann, from the book, It's time...

Cutting a New Path
It goes beyond our impressive statistics and growth figures.
Today, most people you'll talk to about network marketing
know of someone who's had a positive experience. We're
less apologetic and more sensible. We have a proven track
record, and we're getting much, much better at what we do.
John David Mann

Used to be, we talked mostly about the merry-go-round golden-ring style of success, the fractional percentage of people with both the exceptionally good timing and the right skill set or personality profile to hit an opportunity just right and catapult to the top. "Success" in those days was mostly shown off in terms of those elite few with yachts, personal jet planes and ridiculous fortunes. Robin ("Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous") Leach was just hitting stride in the late eighties, and the style resonated with gawky young teenaged em-el-em. Success might happen to only a few, but the rest of us could dream, right?

Today we do more than dream. The way we describe success in the network marketing of 2006 has been shaped by The Millionaire Next Door, the Latte Factor® and...

The hundreds of thousands of serious
networkers sincerely and sanely pursuing
a reasonable goal of replacement income
and financial stability.

Goodbye get rich quick, hello get smart now.

Meanwhile, as we've matured, the world around us has changed. The corporate model of financial security has crumbled away. Two generations ago, going to work for a company was "security," working for yourself from your home was "risky."

Today it's gone clear the other way around.

In 2004, the Small Business Administration told President Bush that small business accounts for more than half the nation's economic output and employs more than half the country's non-governmental employees-and that more than half of those small businesses are home-based businesses.

Warren Buffet, the "oracle of Omaha" and famed billionaire stock market expert, turned heads on Wall Street in 2002, when he bought a network marketing company. Today, he no longer owns one-he owns three. (And has been quoted, speaking about one of them, as saying, "It's the best investment I've ever made.")

Network marketing today is a $100 billion concern worldwide (some $30 billion of it in the U.S.).

Right now, as you read these words, there
are about 70,000 people around the world
who are not network marketers-and by this
same time tomorrow, will be.

The DSA's Neil Offen projects that over the next ten years, more than 200 million people worldwide will join our business.

Paul Pilzer projects that over those same ten years, the US economy will create ten million new millionaires-and that many of them will be created in network marketing.

And it goes beyond statistics and figures.

Ten years ago, most people you'd talk to about network marketing either knew nothing about it, or knew someone who'd had a negative experience. Today, most people you'll talk to about network marketing know of someone who's had a positive experience. We're less apologetic, and more sensible. We have a track record, and we're getting much, much better at what we do.

It's time...for Network Marketing
the most remarkable form of free–enterprise ever created
to get the respect and recognition it deserves.
