Network Marketing: Why Network Marketing is Your Second Chance Business

Network Marketing. Why is Network Marketing sometimes called a "second chance business"?

I sat down with a incredibly successful network marketer and chatted with him about how he came to be so successful in network marketing. In our 4 hour conversation(well, not really a conversation, I mostly listened)he spoke about opportunities, successes, failures, and how network marketing offers a second chance. I asked him what he meant.

"The thing about network marketing is it doesn't matter who you are",he said. "You could be a janitor, a school teacher, retired, poor, rich, it doesn't matter. You could be right out of jail! Network marketing offers everyone the same opportunity for success. For little to no money you can have your own business now, right this minute, and start earning a living."

As I sat there and listened it dawned on me that here was a guy who had earned in excess of $40 million dollars in his network marketing career(still earns a residual income,each month, that is more than the average American worker earns in a year and hasn't done a thing in network marketing in 15 years!)and talks about second chances. So I asked him if this was his "second chance."

"I dropped out of school when I was 16 years old",he said. "I didn't know what I really wanted to do except I knew that I didn't want to stay in printing. This was something I had been doing for several years and at the ripe old age of 16 knew this was something I was not going to do for my life. So I got into real estate. For 15+ years I was selling real estate. I was pretty good too!"

"But I was soon realizing that this wasn't going to be enough. I had a beautiful wife, 3 kids, a mortgage, you get the picture. I rarely saw my kids. I missed plays, soccer games, and violin concerts. I was working ALL the time. Everyday. Every weekend. My stomach would be in knots on Sunday evening knowing I had to go into the real estate office the next day. But I did it. I had to."

"Then one day my car was making some strange sounds. It sounded like my muffler was falling off. So I pulled into a major chain muffler shop. As the mechanics were checking out my car the guy from behind the counter, the manager, walked over to me and asked me a question. A simple question, "Are you making all the money you want to make?" " I was like, huh? I'm thinking to myself, are you kidding, I've got a new car, big home, new suits, I'm dialed.". "So I say to this guy, who has grease on his shirt, his pants, and hands, yeah, I'm doing okay." "And then he asked the question that hit me between the eyes". "How free are you?" " Tony, I was stunned. But before I could answer he asked if I was open to a business opportunity?"

"Now I'm not the smartest guy but I'm not dumb either. I told him sure I'm open. He then proceeded to invite me to a meeting that night. That night. The same night I had tickets to a concert I had been planning to attend for months with my wife. As I walked into the house I told my wife our plans had changed! We were not going to the concert but to a business opportunity meeting. Well you could imagine her look but she knew, by the way I was looking at her, there wasn't going to be any argument. We were going to the meeting!"

"As we walked up the steps to knock on the door I noticed the paint was peeling from the porch and the door bell was a couple of wires protruding from the wall. When I knocked on the door it was immediately answered by a very friendly woman and her husband. There were about 7 other people in this tiny living room including the manager of the muffler shop who cleaned up pretty well except for the grease under his fingernails. The meeting started, they drew circles on a board, and explained how network marketing worked. I was hooked!"

"Over the next several years I worked this network marketing business. I travelled to, and met, some of the most humble people in my life. Some could barely speak but lived in incredible homes. I'll never forget pulling up to this home, a mansion really, and when the door opened, this petite woman who barely spoke above a whisper shared her network marketing successes with me. Wow! I was like, if they could do it..."

"Tony, the rest is history. If I didn't take a chance...If I didn't go to that home with the peeling paint...if I just brushed off the muffler shop manager...I would probably be dead before I lived."

"I've learned that most people brush off opportunities like they brush lint off their sleeve. I was not one of those people. I was open to opportunity."

"Today, because I took that chance, I'm worth more than I ever imagined. I still receive a healthy check, from work I did years ago, from my previous network marketing company, I've travelled the world, and I'm debt free."

"Network marketing was my second chance business. It gave me the opportunity to spend more time with my wife, my kids, my family. It allowed me to help others and give them the opportunity to succeed. I still got paid even when I couldn't work due to an illness. Where else do you get this? Not in corporate America!"

As we shook hands, and I walked across the white marble flooring in the foyer, I thought about opportunities I had brushed off. How many opportunities I didn't even give the time of day to because of the person presenting the opportunity to me. I mean how many "second chances" do you get in life that may change YOUR life? One? Ten? A hundred?

It only takes one.
