The original social media business model is Direct Sales…another term for Network Marketing. Based on previous company observations, when I think of Direct Sales, I think of only selling product. When I think Network Marketing, I think both selling products and building a team of leaders. What do you think? What have been the viewpoints you have learned about over the years?
Let me tell you why Network Marketing works: You can become an entreprenuer with little investment! Your small investment can reap hundreds, thousands and millions of dollars in income over the months and years you are involved with the same company. I have been with the Shaklee Corporation for ove 30 years, so I feel I can speak with ease and confidence to you.

“No one can force you to be a success. Neither can anyone force you to be a failure. You are either a success or a failure according to the thoughts you produce. For there is no expression of either without thought direction. You can accomplish as much or as little as you can think you can. For what you think, you look, what you think you do, what you think you are.” ……Dr. Forrest C. Shaklee
