Where will You be in 5 Years?

Jun 28

Posted by Wayne Woodworth in Network Marketing | No Comments

That’s a popular question during job interviews and annual reviews. Where do you want to be in 5 years?

The way things have been going for the past year or so, many businesses just hope to still be around in 5 years.  A lot of them are downsizing right now trying to hold on, which leaves a lot of people out of working wondering how they are going to make ends meet.

There is one industry I know of that is expanding right now. Network marketing. The heck with trying to get a new job. That just puts you back in the same situation you were before you got let go, wondering when and if it’s going to happen again.

The thing is, this is the perfect time to get into network marketing, and not just because there are so many people looking for a job. People are also looking for better, more cost effective ways to stay healthy. People are looking for ways to be in control of their lives for the first time in a long time. The right network marketing business can offer than.

I’m with one company that is growing like wildfire right now, and it isn’t one of those fly-by-night businesses. This company is celebrating its 35 anniversary this year. It is in the wellness industry, so it may be the answer to some of the health issues you have been facing too.

There are a lot of MLM companies out there that claim that they offer the one key to good health, usually some form of nutritional supplement drink or energy drink. The truth is though, there isn’t just one key. What works for one person might not work for someone else. I only know of a small number of companies that offer a variety of solutions to increase the chances of having something that will work for nearly everyone.

I will be honest with you. Unlike what a lot of people try to tell you, network marketing probably isn’t going to get you rich over night. It might take several months, or even a year to start making some real money. A lot of people never make any real money, but that’s mostly because they give up after they see that it takes work to build a real business, and this is as real a business as running a restaurant. The benefit is that you don’t need a lot of money to start and you don’t have the huge overhead costs.

So, where will you be in 5 years? Working a job wondering day to day whether you will go back tomorrow, or building you own successful business?

Why Are Some MLM Companies Better than Others?

Nov 14

Posted by Wayne Woodworth in Network Marketing | 1 Comment

There are tons of new network marketing, or MLM, companies popping up all the time. There are so many new pre-launch opportunities that you can’t possibly keep up with them all. In a few years though, a lot of them will have closed down. It’s just a simple fact that most new businesses fail within the first 5 years or so. Only a few manage to stand up to the test of time and prosper. Why?

For some, the company will just nail the product. It will be the right thing and the timing will be perfect for it. Other companies will have a strong management team that does things right to keep the company going long enough for it to get properly established. The compensation plan will also be important. The people who join a company as distributors have to know that they are taken care of.

I’m with Nikken, a wellness research company originally from Japan that has been in business for more than 30 years. I recently had the opportunity to talk to one of the top earners with Nikken, Reid Nelson. He shared some interesting things about Nikken and the MLM industry in general. For most companies there is a lot of turn-over. People will be with one company for a few years then jump to the next big opportunity then the next. At Nikken people generally stay. Better than 80% of the people who have reached leadership levels in Nikken stay with the company. Reid Nelson has been with Nikken for 19 years. More locally, I’m only 2 steps down from people who have been with Nikken for more than 15 years. Nikken has only been in the United States for 20 years, so they must be doing something right for people to stay this long.

One of the reasons for Nikken’s success that Reid Nelson shared with me was that they attract people who genuinely want to help other people. It isn’t just about chasing the dollars for us. The products, especially the magnetic products, help people live better lives.

Another reason is that it is possible to make a lot of money and save a lot of money with Nikken. If you show commitment to building a Nikken business they will help you cover your two biggest expenses as well as pay you what you earn. Once you reach the Gold rank Nikken will pay for a car (you own the car and they send you a check toward your car payment, so you don’t lose it if you decide to leave. It’s your car). At Platinum, Nikken will begin sending you a check toward your house payment.

Finally, Nikken listens to the distributors. I often hear my upline talk about improvements that they were able to have a hand in because the company listens. You don’t often get that with a lot of companies.

So, if you are tired of jumping from one company to another and are ready to find a place to call home, ask me about Nikken.
