The Power of Knowledge!

Dear Readers,

I just finished reading a book by Robert Kiyosaki- The Business School: For People Who Like Helping People. I have to say my thought process changed while reading this book; Mr. Kiyosaki explains the benefits of Network Marketing/Direct Sales/Multilevel Marketing. There are multiple names for the industry but the concepts are similar; what really matters is the core values behind the company you're looking into. The company should NOT only be interested in having you sell the products to people but also to gain education in the world of business. The company should have successful mentors and a solid business system in place to help guide new members of the team. Kiyosaki encourages (and I agree) people to look into the education principles the company offers such as, having a positive attitude, leadership skills, communication skills, people skills, overcoming fear, doubt, rejection and lack of confidence, money management skills, investing, accountability, time management, goal setting and systemization. The greatest thing about Life Leadership is they encourage positive change in all of these areas plus more. They truly want to build a better person through their life changing personal development information. In fact the Life speakers believe the ultimate product is the person that has made the most changes in their life through reading, listening and associating with positive people. The core values of Life Leadership are extraordinary. I've been approached by several people asking me to do direct sales but the problem is I didn't believe in the products, until now.

Kiyosaki explains that if your interested in helping others and making money then network marketing can be your ticket to move from the left side of the cash flow quadrant (Employee, Self employer/Small business owner) to the right side (Big business, Investor) with low risk and investment. It's quite true from where I'm standing. My husband and I, have thought so many times about starting our own business but we just could never find start up money. Now we can own our own business and "pay as we go" so to speak. You can build your business small, big or somewhere in between. We are going to build our business big, but first we have to learn and understand the business principles in order to be successful. Kiyosaki shares that only 5% of all businesses make it which means the other 95% don't; we don't want to be part of the 95% so we are going to learn how to get to the 5% bracket. He shares that changing quadrants is difficult because it is not just physical action; the change involve mental, emotional and spiritual as well. You have to believe that you can achieve your dreams and keep them in reach. A good network marketing company, such as Life Leadership, gives you a successful mentor and allows you to learn the ropes for 6 months before needing registered customers, this is exceptional compared to other companies in the industry. Kiyosaki believes that network marketing is the wave of the future because of the pipeline cash flow that is encompassed. He explains that people are trapped in the employee quadrant but they don't have to be. The best part of Life Leadership is it is based on several of Robert Kiyosaki's principles such as the cash flow quadrant.

If you think there is something more out there for you then network marketing might be it. I'm not a person that takes risks so this information coming from me amazes myself. This is just a brief description of the book but I strongly encourage you to read it if your interested in making money and helping people. It doesn't matter if you are a college student, single, married, parents, retired, almost retired; if you want more then strive to get it.
