Since when is Network Marketing a profession? Network Marketing has always been a profession. Each Referral Agent in Network Marketing controls their investment of the time and money put into their business, as well as what they do with that time and money. By exercising their control over these factors they are in fact a professional and they are in control of their own success. You can be as well.
For years, many or most people in Network Marketing have approached it as a way to make some extra money, maybe to set aside for Christmas or other special occasions. Others have gone past this “hobby” approach to build extremely successful businesses. Network Marketing has created more millionaires than any other industry, profession, career or investment.
Like no other, Network Marketing is the most powerful and effective marketing system in the world! It is simplified method of marketing and distribution of a company and its products directly to the ultimate consumer through an organization of Referral Agents who get compensated based on a defined compensation plan. Success Magazine calls Network Marketing “the most powerful way to reach consumers”. By the year 2011, almost 50% of all income earners in the United States will be self- employed.
Network Marketing gives you the opportunity to have a business of your own. You don’t have to wait to accumulate a large amount of capital. You don’t have to wait to earn a college degree or have more business experience. You don’t have to wait to get a little older or wish you were a little wiser. Beginning part time, with almost no investment and with top-notch training from experienced leaders, you can develop the lifestyle and financial freedom that most only dream of. Where else can average people earn an income with no employees, no rent, no overhead, live where ever you want to live with an almost unlimited income opportunity? The only place we know this to be true is Network Marketing.
In these trying times, what can we do to get ahead in life? Forget the traditional answers like “get a good job”. The days of working 40 years for a large corporation and retiring on a nice pension are history. Starting your own small business, such as a retail store or a restaurant, is even worse. Eighty percent of all new businesses fail within five years – most within two years. Franchises are not the answer either. The average cost to get into a franchised business is $185,000. Even then, for a number of years, you end up working for minimum wages, selling products or services to strangers.
Some of the benefits of owning your own home-based business!
1 Financial Freedom and Security!
2 Legitimate Income Tax deductions!
3 More Time to spend with Family and Friends!
4 No Boss!
5 True Residual Income!
6 Retire in luxury and comfort, not on a social security pension that may not be there.
7 Work with people you like, not people you have to!
8 Own the Dream Home and/or Dream Car you have always wanted!

He died in 2012 at the age of 86, but Zig Ziglar will be remembered for many years to come as the guru of sales. Ziglar was a top salesperson before he became a famous sales trainer, author and motivational speaker. He was an inspiration to me in my early years of business ownership because of how he looked upon sales - as a way to help people. I had a chance to meet Ziglar when he was a keynote speaker of a conference I attended.
These 10 powerful quotes from Ziglar reveal his secrets and show what effective selling is really all about. Attention to Ziglar's beliefs are timely, since too many businesses today are using overly aggressive and often, unethical ways, to make a sale.
Let’s see what the great Ziglar had to say, so we can enjoy better profits in the year ahead.
1. You will get all you want in life, if you help enough other people get what they want.
This simple statement is the essence of effective selling. It’s not about what you want, what your company wants – and it’s not even about the great service you have. It’s about exactly what the customer wants. To find that out, ask a lot of questions.
2. People don’t buy for logical reasons. They buy for emotional reasons.
Despite what Ziglar knew and said, many businesses try to sell their products and services on logic - stressing features. While those things are important, the buying decision comes on an emotional level. Stress the end benefits. If you can save people time and money, tell them how much – and what they can do with that extra time and money.
3. When you encourage others, you, in the process, are encouraged, because you're making a commitment and difference in that person's life. Encouragement really does make a difference.
As a practicing sales professional, Ziglar would discuss the business and personal lives of his prospects and offer encouragement. This gave him a huge likeability factor. People trusted him. Offer sincere encouragement.
4. Honesty and integrity are by far the most important assets of an entrepreneur.
It’s just as important to let clients know what you cannot do, as what you can do. That will give you credibility and help build life-long business relationships. The goal is to become the go-to person for information on your industry, even if you and your company cannot always provide the services and products needed.
5. You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.
We all know would-be entrepreneurs and salespeople who have a million reasons why they can’t get going. Start somewhere – and then adjust, fine-tune, experiment and change direction if you have to. But please – start.
6. People are basically the same the world over. Everybody wants the same things - to be happy, to be healthy, to be at least reasonably prosperous, and to be secure. They want friends, peace of mind, good family relationships, and hope that tomorrow is going to be even better than today.
Why is this important? It addresses the things that people think about when they consider your service or product. Make a connection between one or more of the items on Ziglar’s list of what people want, and what you can offer. In the case of my business, it’s “peace of mind” so I do everything I can, including offering a guarantee, to make that happen.
7. You cannot climb the ladder of success dressed in the costume of failure.
It is here that I failed miserably for years, dressed like a hobo. It wasn’t until I bought a few good suits that people started to take me seriously. Despite all the talk of casual dress in business, smart dressing is smart business. Always has been, always will be.
8. Statistics suggest that when customers complain, business owners and managers ought to get excited about it. The complaining customer represents a huge opportunity for more business.
A master of positivity, Ziglar looked at problems as opportunities. Welcome the customer who complains. It’s your chance to set things right and win a customer for life as a result.
9. Send out a cheerful, positive greeting, and most of the time you will get back a cheerful, positive greeting. It's also true that if you send out a negative greeting, you will, in most cases, get back a negative greeting.
How many salespeople do you meet with a scowl on their face? How many sales clerks ignore you and don’t even speak during the transaction? Unbelievable. But it happens every day. If you can’t be friendly to people, you should not be in sales and you should not own a business.
10. If you aim at nothing, you'll hit it every time.
Financial goals are one thing, but look at it this way instead: how many people can you help today? Aim to be of service.
Zig Ziglar was an inspiration for many business people. His advice and observations are timeless.

There has been a huge phenomenon on this hormone; learning and wondering what this hormone can do.
Yes, Leptin is a hormone, more specific, it is a fat hormone, although this is good thing.
The Leptin hormone turns the weight loss industry upside down.
What is Leptin?
Fat cells produce the powerful hormone leptin, a primary force instructing thyroid, adrenals, and hunger, metabolism..Leptin communicates directly to your brain, telling the brain how much fat is in storage. Leptin controls appetite, energy, and metabolic rate.
Leptin problems are the primary reason for food cravings, overeating, faulty metabolism, and the obsession with food.
Learn how to eat in harmony with leptin and take charge of your weight and your health -- once and for all!
Following a meal, this fat-hormone is released from your fat, enters your blood, and travels up to your brain delivering a message that you are full and letting your subconscious brain know how much fuel you have on hand.
Leptin controls appetite, energy, and metabolic rate. Leptin problems are the primary reason for:
- food cravings,
- overeating,
- faulty metabolism,
- the obsession with food.
Leptin is the single most important hormone that regulates your body weight, and is the BOSS of (thyroid hormone, insulin, growth hormone, and cortisol).
Lets learn about “The Leptin Diet”.
What is the “The Leptin Diet”
The Leptin diet unleashes the power of hormones to rid of fatigue, food cravings, thyroid problems, and body weight issues.
There are only five (5) crucial rules (see below)to follow.
The Leptin diet advocates eating 3 meals a day with 5 hour between eating. It also suggests not to eat large meals or before bed. Breakfast should especially be high-protein to adjust the blood sugar for the day. Also low glycemic index foods should be eaten. The Leptin Diet seeks for the dieter to begin to understand good fats vs bad fats.
Good Thing about the Leptin Diet
The rules of the Leptin Diet are fairly easy to follow, and there does seem to be some good recent science behind these principles.
Many people compare the Leptin diet to the Rosedale diet, which is another low-carbohydrate focused diet that seeks to manage leptin. Only consuming good fats rather than bad fats (like partially hydrogenated soybean oil) is always a good idea. To learn the five rules of the leptin diet lifestyle, read more.
The Five Basic Rules of the Leptin Diet
1. Never eat late a night. Eat Dinner and Stop. You need to have at least 11-12 hours between dinner and breakfast. This allows enough time for optimum fat burning.
2. Eat three (3) meals per day with 5 hour between. Other programs eating small meals every 2-3 hours, but The Leptin diet calls for a 5-hour gap between eating. Reason: The first 3 hours after eating, the hormone insulin actually store energy from the food, so you are not in the fat-burning mode yet.
3. Do not eat large meals. Eating too much will be strain on your insulin and it will tend to resist causing blood sugar level to drop.
4. Eat a high-protein breakfast. Eating a high protein food, such as eggs, cheese, yogurt, fish, seeds, nuts, and oatmeal. Your blood sugar levels will not drop and make you tried in the afternoon. A high-carb breakfast can lead to overeating later in the day.
5. Reduce the amount of carbohydrates consumed especially with a high GI (Glycemic Index). The glycemic index ranks carbohydrates according to their effect on our blood glucose levels. Choosing low GI carbs - the ones that produce only small fluctuations in our blood glucose and insulin levels - is the secret to long-term health.
I certainly agree with rule 4. This has been a key for me - particularly in managing sluggish symptoms. However, when it comes to any diet I strongly advocate learning as much possible before applying any major changes into your lifestyle.
The Leptin Diet was only discovered in 1994 – therefore research is only very recent.
Remember, Leptin is a hormone that assists in regulating both appetite and metabolism, so do there is no leptin supplement or leptin powder or pill that will do the trick.
Only consuming good fats rather than bad fats (like partially hydrogenated soybean oil) is always a good idea.
Dr. Richard Byrons explains that our leptin hormones are very confused because of our terrible eating habits. Actually the leptin hormones will work against us if we don’t treat it right.
There are five modes of leptin operation:
- balanced-leptin mode,
- leptin-resistance mode,
- starvation mode,
- famine-recovery mode and
- fat-burning mode.
Today more and more people are caught in a cycle involving the middle three modes that is caused by overeating, poor quality of food, weight problems, and yo-yo dieting.
Dr. Byrons strongly disagrees with the popular advice these days to eat many small meals a day and/or to snack. This only destroy leptin efficiency and traps people in the cycle mentioned above. It has perpetuated the epidemic of obesity, but it’s very important for everyone, not just dieters, to be in balance-leptin mode.
If you have any of these symptoms:
- abnormal fatigue,
- depression,
- irritability,
- the inability to focus,
- poor metabolism,
- flawed immune function,
- problems extracting energy from a normal amount of food,
- high cholesterol,
- high blood pressure,
- diabetes,
- obesity,
- anorexia,
- reproductive-function problems
You may have a slow-moving leptin hormone.
Leptin levels are generally proportional to body fat, as leptin is released by fat cells. It is thought that many obese people may have developed leptin resistance – whereby the body fails to respond to leptin signals. This begins a cycle where more leptin is produced.
Laymen terms: In normal weight people, leptin tells them when to "stop eating". As people gain more fat, their body may stop listening to the leptin signal, and even more leptin is produced, and an imbalance is created. A diet rich in fish may also help to lower leptin levels.
There are no recipes and just a few suggestions for breakfast. You choose wise food choices like fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, beans and legumes, lean grass-fed meats, organic dairy products, eggs.
The Leptin Diet contains easy lifestyle guidelines to get the hormone leptin into balance for permanent weight loss, increased energy, and optimum health.
How to Increase Your Production of Leptin
-> Foods high in protein
-> Foods high in zinc
-> Foods high in omega 3s
-> Omega 3 supplement
-> Zinc supplement
Consume 30 percent of your daily calories in Protein.
According to the Jillian Michaels, protein improves leptin sensitivity, allowing the person to feel fuller more quickly. Good sources of protein include meat, dairy, legumes and nuts.
- Consider taking an omega-3 supplement such as fish or flaxeed oil. Omega-3 fatty acids increases leptin by increasing the processing of glucose.
- Add more zinc to your diet. Zinc raises leptin. While zinc is found in many vitamins, natural sources of zinc are oysters, red meat and whole grains.
- Avoid fasting, people who fasted for 36 hours experienced a 77% decrease in leptin.
- Begin an exercise program, people who exercised regularly has a higher levels of leptin sensitivity.
Understands that overweight people need a new eating lifestyle they can apply themselves, rather than a fad diet or a starvation diet.
