Paula Pritchard, from the book, It's time...

Stay the Course Long Enough
To Discover the Magic For Yourself
Years ago I uncovered four levels of what I call "pursuit" in
network marketing. Each one leads to greater appreciation
and a higher consciousness: Money, Freedom, Helping People
and Changing the World.
Paula Pritchard

Network marketing has the ability to change people-to change the way they think and the way they act. 

I have seen network marketing create such amazing teamwork, camaraderie and esprit de corps amongst individuals working together to reach their common goal.

I have seen network marketing unite cultures and help people rise above race, gender, social economic and political differences.

I have seen network marketing create hope and optimism and empower people to take control of their lives.

Network marketing is a gift and in the right hands, it can change the world. I know this from firsthand experience.

In 1994, I was on my way to Paris, France, to speak at the launch of an American network marketing company. A couple days before the launch, I was doing a meeting in Antwerp, Belgium. At the conclusion of the meeting I was told that there was a gentleman waiting in the lobby who wanted to speak to me. I will never forget his story.

He was Croatian and it was during the time when there was a war in his country between the Serbs and the Muslims. He was involved in a network marketing company and he was looking at joining our company. 

He proceeded to tell me about an organizational meeting that he had attended a few nights before in order to recognize and congratulate one of his distributors on their advancement. This meeting was in Croatia, where he had to cross a border and risk his life to enter into a very dangerous part of the country. Snipers were killing people there every day.

Their meeting was held in the basement of a house in the war zone. Everyone that attended was risking their lives. Everyday they were smuggling their products across the border to build their businesses. But what was amazing was that at this meeting there were Serbs and Muslims, all sponsored by one another and all hugging and congratulating each other.

What a paradox:

Outside, there was war, hate and destruction.
Inside, there was peace, love and harmony...
and it was because of network marketing.

For the first time I truly saw what an impact network marketing could have around the world.

It's time...for Network Marketing
the most remarkable form of free–enterprise ever created.

This can be seen a lot nearer to home for me! I live in England, but have family and NM business contacts in Northern Ireland. Divisions between the Protestant and Catholic families there run deep, and show themselves as segragation in almot every field of life.
But I have seen exactly the same thing - communication, celebration, collaboration within an NM business, which, if duplicated in the wider society, would change so much in that troubled community.
