Acknowledgments

Im not a writer. Let me tell you that up front. The journey that has led to this book has been a very long and winding road. In fact, Ive attempted to do this a half dozen times and even hired a few ghostwriters to help out. But in the end, it never felt just right, so I guess youre stuck with me offering it to you in my own words.

Im not the best Networker either. There are people much better than I am, although Ive had what most people would call a wildly successful career. I do believe Ive developed a knack for figuring out what the super successful people do and delivering it in a way that can be easily understood.

Network Marketing has its own jargon. Some companies call their people distributors, others are team members, and still others are brand partners, promoters or associates.

Whether its the name of a distributor or any of the other jargon in our business, please dont let that distract you as you read this book. Focus on the concepts, not the names. Concepts never change, while names change all the time.

As we start this journey together, there are a few important people I need to thank.

To my wife Marina, God blessed the world the day you were born, and He blessed me the day I finally found you.

To my children, Taylor, Alexandra, Daniela, Chandler, and Domenic, and my grandson Ethan, Im so proud of all of you. I have no doubt you will do great things in this world.

To my parents and the rest of my extended family, I cant thank you enough for all your love and support throughout my entire life. I love my family.

To the thousands of friends around the world, youve become my true extended family. Ive heard it said that friendship is wealth. I think thats true, and because of you, Im a wealthy man.

To Chad Porter, Network Marketing Pro wouldnt function without you. Thank you for all the hard work and dedication. I appreciate you so much.

To Melody Marler Forshee, thank you for being my editor and helping to organize this book. I couldnt have done it without you.

And to the Network Marketing Profession, thank you for saving my life back in 1988. You made me become a better man, and Ill be forever grateful.

Introduction

I remember the day I was introduced to Network Marketing for the first time. It was January 1988. I was 23 years old and selling real estate for a small company owned by my father and his friend John Joyce.

I was newly married with a little boy. I was already behind on my bills, and I was scared. The year before I had earned about $45,000 in real estate commissions, which was a good thing. The problem was that I had spent about $60,000, and didnt save any money to pay my taxes, which would be due in just a few months.

When John Joyce came to my desk that day and said, Eric, I think I have a way for us to make some extra money, I said, Tell me more! He went on to say a good friend of his had something to show us and had invited us to his house. So I got in the car with John and my dad and drove over to check it out.

When we arrived, he brought us into his living room, popped a tape into his VCR and hit PLAY. I sat and watched this crazy video. It was filled with mansions and limousines and testimonials of people making fortunes virtually overnight. It was so over the top I just couldnt believe it to be true so I proceeded to tell everyone I thought it was a bad idea and I wasnt interested. My natural mental filters just couldnt let it in.

Then something interesting happened. John and my dad said, Okay, thats too bad. Were going to do it anyway.

This had a MAJOR impact on me because the only thing worse than being broke and in debt was the thought of seeing these two go on to make huge money without me! So, I changed my attitude, pulled my dad aside, and asked him if he would loan me some money to sign up. Thank God he said yes, because deciding to become a Network Marketing distributor completely changed my life.

When I got started, I treated my business like most people do, which is to say I didnt treat it like a business at all. I got in, made some phone calls, and hoped my timing and positioning was enough for me to get lucky and make a few bucks. And at first it worked! I DID make some money, and it was very exciting, although I have to disclose something to you. For those first few months, my entire strategy was to quickly call all of my dads contacts before he had time to get to them. I thought if I called them, told them my dad and John Joyce were involved, and got them to a meeting or to watch a video, then if they were interested my dad wouldnt fight over who got credit, since I was in his organization. I had limited success with this, but as you can imagine, it didnt last long.

So three months after I got started, my Network Marketing income dried right up. And when it did, my positive attitude completely went away. I started to blame everything and everyone for my lack of success. My upline wasnt giving me enough help. The company didnt provide adequate training. I didnt know enough people. No one would respect me because I was so young. I blamed the product. I blamed the company. I blamed the economy. I blamed everyone but myself.

But I had a big problem. Blaming the world wasnt helping to pay my bills. And I had walked away from real estate after that first commission check. It was going to take too long to get a real estate commission and I had no college degree, so getting a decent paying job was out of the question. The only place I could go to create some cash flow was back to Network Marketing.
