Yes, of course, we all want to make money now rather than later with our online business.  Well, guess what?  We know who to refer you to for the best answer on just how to do that.</p>
<p>We&#8217;re thrilled to tell you about <strong>Matthew Neer</strong>. He is so wise beyond his 22 years.  He&#8217;s got it all going on already, starting with his razz skills as a skateboarder to his experienced entrepreneurial skills online, and to top it off, self development is a key part of his life already.</p>
<div id="attachment_1997" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://MatthewNeer.com" target="_blank"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1997  " title="MatthewNeer.com" src="http://daveanddawncook.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/MatthewNeer-Header-300x61.png" alt="MatthewNeer.com" width="300" height="61" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">MatthewNeer.com</p></div>
<p><strong>Matthew</strong> was the first master we added to our mastermind group and he&#8217;s proved many times over that we made a great pick.  One of his strongest skills is making money now with affiliate marketing using the funded proposal strategy.  He&#8217;s certainly learned by doing rather than just by reading and his bank account proves.  We&#8217;ve learned as we&#8217;re sure you have that you need to mentor someone who is successfully doing what you want to do.  Matthew is that person to mentor and we are so happy to connect you with him!</p>
<p>In his video on <span style="font-size: small;"><strong><a title="Making Money Online with Matthew" href="http://tribedomination.com" target="_blank">TribeDomination.com</a></strong></span>,</p>
<div id="attachment_1947" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 190px"><a href="http://tribedomination.com" target="_blank"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1947   " title="TribeDomination.com" src="http://daveanddawncook.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/TSAlogo-300x276.png" alt="TribeDomination.com" width="180" height="166" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Changing the Future... by Working Together...</p></div>
<p><strong>Matthew</strong> reveals his secrets and strategies that he uses in affiliate marketing and highlights how he applies the funded proposal to spark and increase his earnings.  Again, we know from the beginning here that we all want and need to make money online now, so be sure you head to Tribe Domination to watch Matthew&#8217;s video.  Believe us, you&#8217;ll be so glad you did since you will then have the base knowledge you need to begin the process of making money online now.</p>
<p>Please be sure you leave Matthew some comments below his video at <span style="font-size: small;"><strong><a title="Making Money Online with Matthew Neer" href="http://tribedomination.com" target="_blank">TribeDomination.com</a></strong></span> so he can see what thinking his video has spurred and guide you from there.</p>
<p>Thank you, <strong>Matthew</strong> for sharing your expertise!</p>
<p>Committed to Your Success!</p>

<p>We are just like you and have had so many of the same life and business experiences that you&#8217;ve had.  If you don&#8217;t believe us, please take a look at our video&#8230;</p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong><a title="Dave and Dawn Cook's Story (Your Story)" href="http://tribedomination.com" target="_blank">Watch >>> Tribe Domination</a></strong></span><span style="font-size: small;"><strong> Now do you agree? </strong></span></p>
<p>We were also<strong> stuck</strong> (and didn&#8217;t even know it) in dead-end jobs that we thought were the financial key to our dreams and we bet the same is true for you.</p>
<div id="attachment_1947" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 228px"><a href="http://daveanddawncook.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/TSAlogo.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-1947  " title="TribeDomination.com" src="http://daveanddawncook.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/TSAlogo.png" alt="TribeDomination.com" width="218" height="201" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Changing the Future... by Working Together...</p></div>
<p>As we spent each raise and went deeper into debt, we thought we were doing the right thing.  <strong>Is that you?</strong></p>
<p>We had <strong>No Clue</strong> that our level of success was directly related to our level of self development and therefore we had no increase in our level of success.  <strong>Is that you too?</strong></p>
<p>We knew nothing about the fact that being an entrepreneur was<strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"> not an option</span></strong>, but a <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">requirement</span></strong>.  We thought we could rely on someone else, our former employers and our franchiser.  Boy, were we wrong.  Have you made the same mistakes?</p>
<p>By reading an important life-changing book, we knew we <strong>had to do something different</strong>.  In our search for our vehicle to entrepreneurial success, we were introduced to a fool-proof method <strong>IF</strong> we were willing to put in ALL our efforts.  Like us, YOU are ready to put in <strong>100% of your efforts, right?</strong></p>
<p>OK then, <span id="more-1962"></span></p>
<p><strong>Watch Our Video Now&#8230; &gt;&gt;&gt;</strong> <span style="font-size: medium;"><strong><a title="Dave and Dawn Cook's Story (Your Story)" href="http://tribedomination.com/" target="_blank">Tribe Domination</a></strong></span></p>
<p>Social media, what&#8217;s that?  That was our question about three years ago.  Luckily we, like many of you, decided we had to know the answer and we <strong>Spent Thousands of Dollars</strong> until we had the answer.</p>
<p>A <strong>TRIBE</strong>, what&#8217;s that and what benefits does it offer?  That was our next question spurred by some of the great trainings we&#8217;ve been investing in.  Again, we dove in beyond our first exposure to a tribe, and we took it a <strong>HUGE step</strong> further.  In the process, we discovered our true<strong> GOLD MINE</strong>, which is the TRUE benefit offered by creating a Tribe.  That phenomenal benefit is <strong>HELPING OTHERS</strong>.  Creating a tribe (which you can do as well) has enabled us to <strong>HELP OTHERS FIRST</strong> and the rewards back to us  have come and continue to come as we continue to help others.</p>
<p>A group of entrepreneurs who were going in the same direction we were going and with the same dedication to 100% effort.  <a href="http://tribedomination.com"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1973" title="Success" src="http://daveanddawncook.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/success.jpg" alt="Tribe Syndication" width="320" height="240" /></a>What came through all this for us (and the same will happen for you)? We met our<strong> mastermind group</strong>Our mastermind group developed first with <strong>Matthew Neer</strong>, who builds his brand through blogging and SEO expertise and he&#8217;s a master of affiliate marketing.  Then we discovered <strong>Gavin Mountford</strong>, a relationship-building expert using Facebook to a tee who is also a master of Social Proof.  The last to join our mastermind group was <strong>Edward Elliott</strong>, a computer science expert with the required mindset who has become a master of syndication.  Our mastermind group was complete and the synergy of all our skills drives us forward consistently.  You can also attract your mastermind group. <strong>But how and when???</strong></p>
<p>That&#8217;s where we can help. We&#8217;ve done it ourselves and now we understand how we can help you achieve the same.</p>
<p>By stepping out of our <span style="text-decoration: underline;">comfort zone</span>, we attracted what we needed to propel the success of our tribe and as a result, our own success. By watching our story, you&#8217;ll realize that we are <strong>no different than YOU</strong>.  And by that fact, you&#8217;ll know YOU can do the very <strong>SAME for YOURSELF!</strong></p>

<p>We have come to know <strong>Gavin Mountford</strong> very well over the last several months and we have benefited immensely from his story and how he dealt with all the same struggles in his online business that we had to deal with.  Since we know that so many of you go through most of the same struggles and obstacles, we want you to benefit from Gavin&#8217;s insight as well.  Our goal here is to reduce and hopefully eliminate your current frustrations, especially those related to your lack of <strong>Social Proof</strong>.</p>
<div id="attachment_1948" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://GavinMountford.com" target="_blank"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1948 " title="Gavin Mountford" src="http://daveanddawncook.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Gavin-Mountfords-Blog-Header-300x65.png" alt="http://GavinMountford.com" width="300" height="65" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Visit Gavin Mountford&#39;s Blog</p></div>
<p>As you&#8217;ll discover, Gavin has spent a long time working on his business.  One of the key frustrations he dealt with was that he, like many of us, had no one buying his stuff or joining his mailing list.  Luckily for him, and for all who take advantage of his teachings, he had a <em>turning point</em> that took him in a whole new and positive direction.  He invested in the knowledge of a successful leader who was doing exactly what he wanted to do.  His expert made him realize that creating <strong>Social Proof was vital to the success</strong> of his online business.</p>
<p>In his video and accompanying blog post,  Gavin tells how he created an <strong>Abundance of Social Proof</strong> and he tells the ways you can do the <em><strong>VERY SAME</strong></em> for yourself.</p>
<div id="attachment_1947" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 154px"><a href="http://tribedomination.com" target="_blank"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1947   " title="TribeDomination.com" src="http://daveanddawncook.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/TSAlogo-300x276.png" alt="TribeDomination.com" width="144" height="133" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Changing the Future... by Working Together...</p></div>
<p>We know you will gain immense <em><strong>VALUE</strong></em> from studying and learning from <strong>Gavin Mountford</strong> who already has what you want &#8211; an abundance of <strong>Social Proof</strong>.  So if you lack <strong>Social Proof</strong> for your online business or have other struggles that Gavin has handled very well, then you MUST</p>
<p>CLICK this LINK &gt;&gt;&gt; <strong><span style="font-size: medium;"><a title="Gavin Mountford's story" href="http://TribeDomination.com/" target="_blank">TribeDomination.com </a></span></strong></p>
<p>So please <strong>take</strong> our recommendation and <strong>don&#8217;t delay</strong>.  Without <strong>Social Proof</strong>, none of your dreams and goals will come to fruition and <strong>Gavin Mountford</strong> is a Master of creating Social Proof!</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the link again: &gt;&gt;&gt; <strong><span style="font-size: medium;"><a title="Gavin Mountford's story" href="http://tribedomination.com/" target="_blank">TribeDomination.com</a></span></strong></p>
<p>You&#8217;ll be glad to know that there&#8217;s more ANSWERS to your struggles and frustrations on their way to you.  Watch for an upcoming email when it will be our turn to give you the ANSWER on how you can use the<strong> leverage of a Tribe to explode your online presence</strong>!  You won&#8217;t want to miss this one!</p>
<p>So we&#8217;ll see you on the inside!</p>

If you have not been exposed to Teach Jim and his very educational show, you&#8217;ll really want to check it out and follow the upcoming shows.  The main topics that Jim teaches about are: business, education, legal, science, news and politics so there are  relevant subjects for today&#8217;s business person.  Jim is so easy to talk  to and he made us feel like we&#8217;d known him for a long time.</p>
<div id="attachment_1883" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://blog.teachjim.com/" target="_blank"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1883  " title="Teach Jim" src="http://daveanddawncook.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Teach-Jim-Header-300x62.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="62" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Teach Jim</p></div>
<p>We were introduced to Teach Jim and his show a few weeks ago when he did a great interview with <a title="Gavin Mountfound's Teach Jim Interview" href="http://www.gavinmountford.com/blog/how-to-get-things-done-fast-online-30-min-interview-with-gavin-mountford/" target="_blank">Gavin Mountford</a>.  The subject of that interview was Gavin&#8217;s very efficient Daily Method of Operations based on his planned and followed time management system.  We were impressed with the information that Gavin shared and Jim&#8217;s great way of bringing out the  best.  You can go to Teach Jim radio Show  and to  the Teach Jim  blog to catch all you may have missed from Teach Jim&#8217;s interview with  Gavin Mountford.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>TSA Attracts Another Great Leader</strong></span></p>
<p>Another very notable focus for Teach Jim is his recent involvement in <a title="Tribe Syndication Association (TSA)" href="http://tsamastery.com" target="_blank">Tribe Syndication Association</a> (TSA).</p>
<div id="attachment_1832" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 136px"><a href="http://tsamastery.com" target="_blank"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1832    " title="Click Here To Join TSA!" src="http://daveanddawncook.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/NEWEST-TSA-Logo-Whitebg-Blk-Lettering-300x300.png" alt="Changing the Future by Working Together" width="126" height="126" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Changing the Future... by Working Together...</p></div>
<p>He is just another example of the high quality entrepreneurs that TSA attracts.  It&#8217;s like Dave and I and all the members of TSA are attracting an ever-growing group of like-minded online entrepreneurs that have one common goal &#8211; to help everyone else attain a high level of exposure on the internet.   I&#8217;m sure  that the TSA members attracted TSA to them.  It&#8217;s a two way streak and we all benefit.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>More about Teach Jim:</strong></span></p>
<p>Teach Jim&#8217;s degree is in instructional learning and he loves to teach and be a great resource for his fellow online entrepreneurs.  He is always seeking others to share their unique knowledge as a guest of his show.  We all have a different and unique skill or strategy that so many can benefit from and Teach Jim provides a great blog radio show to fill that need.</p>
<p>Teach Jim  fills <a title="Teach Jim blog" href="http://blog.teachjim.com/" target="_blank">his blog</a> with great posts that highlight the relevant details from the  interviews for those who like to read as well as listen.  And for those who aren&#8217;t available when the show airs live on Thursday nights at 6:30 pm EST.  If you are available at show time, be sure you tune in so you can be one of the first to benefit from the new knowledge that Teach Jim offers through great leaders like you.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Our &#8220;Thank You&#8221; to Teach Jim:</strong></span></p>
<div id="attachment_1897" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 210px"><a href="http://daveanddawncook.com/about/" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-1897  " title="Dave and Dawn In Our Lanai Poolside" src="http://daveanddawncook.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/DaveandDawnCook-poolside.jpg" alt="TSA's Creators Dave and Dawn Cook" width="200" height="126" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">TSA&#39;s Creators Dave and Dawn</p></div>
<p>Jim, we owe you a huge &#8220;Thank You&#8221; !  What you offer to us and all those you interview is very powerful.  The ability to have a very informal and natural conversation with someone who shows you great respect and true interest is outstanding.  And then to receive the great exposure that is possible through your <a title="The Teach Jim Radio Show" href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/teachjim" target="_blank">blog talk radio</a> show is like the icing on the cake.  Thank you for facilitating this in such a professional manner.  You definitely are a teacher, helping all of us by &#8220;leveraging learning into significant solutions.&#8221; (your blog tag line is right on the money!)</p>
<p>We hope we have encouraged anyone reading this post to be a guest on Teach Jim&#8217;s show.  We&#8217;re excited to have our minds&#8217; expanded and to get to know you in this unique way.</p>
<p>Dave and I would be honored if you would  check out our interview with Teach Jim if you haven&#8217;t seen it already.</p>
<p>We would love to hear your comments about any or all of the following:  Teach Jim&#8217;s great show,  your connection with Teach Jim on his blog, your plans to be a guest of the show, and any feedback you have on Dave and I&#8217;s interview with Teach Jim.</p>

If you are not in network marketing, you may think I&#8217;m off my rocker.  Well that may be true, but I&#8217;m not good at selling and yet I know I&#8217;ll succeed in my network marketing company.</p>
<p><strong>Ok, some explanation</strong>.  The reason network marketing companies succeed is because those involved don&#8217;t have to be good salespeople.  If fact, being a good salesperson is detrimental to building a large network. Why is this so? Most people are not good at selling so if you are a good salesperson yourself, you will find very few people who can duplicate your efforts. And as <strong>Robert Kiyosak</strong>i points out in his book <em>The Business of the 21st Century</em>, duplication on an unlimited scale is essential for creating a strong and large network.  (<strong>Robert</strong>&#8217;s Asset #5 of 8 you gain from Network Marketing is &#8220;A Duplicable, Fully Scalable Business&#8221;)</p>
<p><a href="http://daveanddawncook.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Sharer-of-information.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1812" title="Sharer of information" src="http://daveanddawncook.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Sharer-of-information.jpg" alt="" width="274" height="184" /></a><br />
<strong>As you work to build your network, your team will look to perform the same tasks that you perform as their leader.</strong><strong> </strong>If the tasks you are employing can not be completed by the average person, they will choose not to do the tasks and therefore, in most cases, not do anything.</p>
<p><strong><strong>So what is the solution?</strong> <span id="more-1804"></span> </strong>The realization that network marketing is not a business about sales.  It&#8217;s the business of sharing information in a simple way using information tools that can be duplicated by all members of your team.  From a former top salesperson to a stay-at-home mom, the system can be learned and mastered by anyone who wants to succeed. I said former top salesperson because that person will have to leave those skills behind to make network marketing work for them.</p>
<p><strong><strong>The duplication built into the system allows it to work for a small team up to an unlimited-size team.</strong> </strong>And as the team gets huge, there is no need for the team leader to have to personally control every aspect of the business. With every team member following the system and teaching the system, every level has built-in controls.  This is what you can create within your network using duplication and scalability.</p>
<p><strong><strong>Now I just wanted to briefly highlight the information tools that are part of any duplicable system.</strong> </strong>The information tools are what allow us to just share information rather than sell.  The tools are a third-party presentation.  As presentation technology has evolved, great tools can now include CDs, DVDs and online media rather than just brochures and sales books.  These information tools do the presentation for us and anyone can share a presentation tool.  Tools make the duplication process  pretty easy.</p>
<p><strong><strong>So I have experienced this great asset of network marketing, and so love that I don&#8217;t have to be a great salesperson to succeed or have to find great salespeople.</strong> </strong>It is so much easier to find other people like me out there than it is to search for only great salespeople.</p>
<p><strong><strong>If this realization empowers you in your network marketing company, please let me know in your comment below.</strong> </strong> If it has empowered you to consider joining a network marketing company when before you thought it was only for salespeople, then I definitely would love to hear about that as well.</p>
<p><strong><strong><em>Committed to Your Success!</em></strong><br />

<p><strong>Metcalfe&#8217;s Law is:  V = N squared </strong></p>
<p>This means the network&#8217;s economic value to the network owner equals the number of the network&#8217;s users squared.  So as you add partners to your network, its value increases exponentially.</p>
<p>To begin to use this law, you start with finding a person who wants to duplicate your skills to build their own network. <a href="http://daveanddawncook.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/sky-is-the-limit.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1792 alignright" title="sky is the limit" src="http://daveanddawncook.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/sky-is-the-limit-300x60.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="60" /></a><br />
<a href="http://daveanddawncook.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Metcalfes-Law.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1790 alignright" title="Metcalfe's Law" src="http://daveanddawncook.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Metcalfes-Law-300x181.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="181" /></a> As soon as there are two of you, the economic value of your network is squared to 4.  When you add another person who will duplicate your efforts, now your network&#8217;s value is 9.  Now here&#8217;s comes the explosive part, as the two people you partnered with go out and find two more people each who duplicate their efforts and that trend continues with proper duplication, the economic value of your network takes off.  And, of course, you will continue to find more dedicated people who see the opportunity to build their network and are committed to duplicating your efforts.  When you successfully do that, the sky can be the limit.</p>
<p>Please note here though that I kept saying <span id="more-1782"></span> &#8220;duplicates your efforts&#8221;.  This means you have to train yourself to use the proper skills to grow your business to such a level that if you were to teach those skills to another committed person, you will have essentially duplicated yourself.  If you are lax on the required skills, and if you are lax in teaching those skills to your partners, there will be no duplication and no real use of <strong>Metcalfe&#8217;s Law</strong>.</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="344" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Txc-Z0tN9pk&amp;autoplay=0&amp;rel=0&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999&amp;border=0&amp;loop=0" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Txc-Z0tN9pk&amp;autoplay=0&amp;rel=0&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999&amp;border=0&amp;loop=0" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object><br />
If you have selected the right network marketing company though, the training that will be provided to you will also be available to your partners.  Therefore the process of duplication becomes so much easier.  The kicker though is to commit yourself to the training and to find partners who are also committed to the training.</p>
<p>Leverage is what is created by building your own network through the use of <strong>Metcalfe&#8217;s Law</strong>.  Your own time and efforts are multiplied over and over again by the partners on your team.  You can work say, three hours per day on your network marketing business, and if all your, say, twenty partners do the same, your 3 hours equals sixty-three hours put forth on your behalf.  Now that is sure something I don&#8217;t see in the employee world.  Leverage occurs at this degree through the power of building your own network.</p>
<p>The information I am sharing with you here comes from my reading of <strong>Robert Kiyosaki&#8217;s</strong> <em>The Business of the 21st Century</em>, specifically his Asset # 4 The Power of Your Own Network. <strong> Robert</strong> covers 8 assets you gain through network marketing.  <strong>Robert</strong> points out that in his mind, network marketing is the fastest-growing business model in the world today.  But guess what?  Most people don&#8217;t see it because they only open their eyes.  The product is visible, but the network that the product travels through, the real business, is invisible.  An open mind is required to grasp the real value of network marketing.</p>
<p>Network marketing is a true Information Age business because it deals with the pure sharing of information, not factories, materials or employees like Industrial Age and Transitional Age businesses.  As network marketers our job is not to sell our product.  It is to communicate information, to tell a great story and build a network (and make a lot of money if you give the required effort for yourself and your network.)  That&#8217;s what we love about network marketing, we are not selling, we are sharing information and letting people make the best decision for themselves.  For those who make the decision to create their financial future by joining our network, we and our network marketing company train them to duplicate our efforts.  And it&#8217;s so much more fun, for us and our network, than selling any day!</p>
<p>I&#8217;d love to hear any comments you have so please tell me what you think!  Do you see the power of <strong>Metcalfe&#8217;s Law</strong> at work in the creation of your own network? I sincerely hope you do.</p>

We know <strong>Bill Gates</strong> (Microsoft), <strong>Sam Walton</strong> (Walmart) and <strong>Jeff Bezos</strong> (Amazon).</p>
<p><strong>Robert Kiyosaki&#8217;s</strong> Rich Dad had a hero who became very rich by building his own network.  This man is better known for the product he perfected, but really became rich because of the network he built across the world. Even today, many of us think <strong>Thomas Edison</strong> invented the light bulb, but in actuality he only improved and perfected the light bulb.  His true stroke of genius was to create a company <a href="http://daveanddawncook.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Edison-Electric.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1765 alignright" title="Edison Electric" src="http://daveanddawncook.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Edison-Electric-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="135" height="135" /></a><a href="http://daveanddawncook.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Thomas-Edison.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-1766" title="Thomas Edison" src="http://daveanddawncook.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Thomas-Edison-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="135" height="135" /></a><br />
that strung electrical lines that allowed the light bulb to penetrate society.  His network made him, <strong>Thomas Edison</strong>, a multimillionaire!</p>
<p>Most of us are not a Thomas Edison, a Bill Gates, a Sam Walton or a Jeff Bezos, but we want to create the same wealth for ourselves.  <strong>Robert Kiyosaki</strong> in his book <em>The Business of the 21st Century</em>, makes the valid point (his Asset #4, <strong>The Power of Your Own Network</strong>, that you gain from Network Marketing) that Network Marketing offers millions of people the opportunity to build their own network and create the same wealth created by <strong>Thomas Edison</strong> and the rest of the famous multimillionaires!</p>
<p>Rich Dad said <span id="more-1754"></span> &#8220;The richest people in the world build networks. Everyone else looks for work.&#8221; (I&#8217;m guessing they are looking to work for the owners of the networks.)</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="344" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/sIEF0gOjBg0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;rel=0&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999&amp;border=0&amp;loop=0" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/sIEF0gOjBg0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;rel=0&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999&amp;border=0&amp;loop=0" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>This leads to a little history of the progression of the business model that Robert offers:</p>
<p>First we had the classic Industrial-age model that was run like an empire with a centralized government. (Example: GM)  Only the owners benefited from the wealth created.</p>
<p>Then in the 1950&#8217;s, a new model was introduced that nearly was voted illegal by Congress.  That model was the franchise that used a network of multiple businesses all working from the same blueprint.  Here the franchiser is the owner of the network and therefore the franchiser is the main benefactor, not the franchisee. (Example: McDonald&#8217;s)  Dave and I know this well with our franchised business we bought in 2004. (No, it wasn&#8217;t a McDonald&#8217;s franchise)</p>
<p>The next step in networked businesses first began in 1960, grew more in 1970&#8217;s and 80&#8217;s and is still growing very strong today. Instead of franchised businesses, this model employed <em>franchised individuals</em> who own their own network.  This model is network marketing.  Here, all owners of their own network can create their own wealth.  Dave and I are so happy to have discovered this business model and to now own our network.</p>
<p>Of course, the key is to <strong>build</strong> your own network.  It doesn&#8217;t happen just by joining a network marketing company, you have to work to <strong>build</strong> it.  Luckily, we have Metcalfe&#8217;s law to help us in that endeavor.  I&#8217;ll tell you more about this in my next post as I continue to give you all the value that Robert provides in his chapter called &#8220;<strong>Asset #4 &#8211; The Power of Your Own Network</strong>&#8221; in <em>The Business of the 21st Century</em>.</p>
<p>Please comment below and tell me how excited you are to have the same advantages as Thomas Edison and Sam Walton, and how strongly you are <strong>committed</strong> to creating that same level of wealth for yourself.</p>
<p>I hope you can see that being the<strong> owner and builder of your own network</strong> is so much better than spending your life working for someone else&#8217;s network.  If you have any questions about network marketing, please feel free to leave a question and I&#8217;ll get you the answer.</p>

Those are some harsh words aren’t they. Too Bad. The question you have to ask yourself is whether it is true or not? The only reason I am saying this is to make you feel a little uncomfortable. If I have accomplished that, then I did what I set out to do.</p>
<p>You see, the only time we change in life is when we are uncomfortable PERIOD</p>
<p><a href="http://daveanddawncook.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/leadership-arrow.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1745 alignright" title="leadership arrow" src="http://daveanddawncook.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/leadership-arrow-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="200" /></a>As you are reading this, you are probably sitting in your chair and when you get a little uncomfortable you’ll probably move around until you find that perfect relaxed position. If you are not uncomfortable, then you probably won’t do a thing to make things better. Right? That’s no different than being a follower vs. a leader.</p>
<p>So, be truthful with me and more importantly, with yourself. Are you the Leader you want to be in life? Are you maybe just a little too comfortable where you are and you are not willing to go to that next level because it will be UNCOMFORTABLE?<span id="more-1743"></span></p>
<p>I have personally faced my own struggles, self doubts in life and shortcomings to the point where I was doubting my progress every single moment of the day. We moved away from very lucrative careers striving for a better life down here in Florida. We opened businesses locations which were making over $150,000.00 per year to lose them to a competitor. We tried and tried with little success in some of these areas. We started Network Marketing with the dreams of becoming rich over night. Man, we were naive! We started using social media thinking that it will be the answer to our prays rather than our warm market. Once again, we were naive!  Not until we realized that it wasn&#8217;t the businesses and it was &#8220;us&#8221; did we start becoming successful. Then when it really became uncomfortable, that is when we made a commitment to ourselves to do whatever it takes to overcome and achieve MAJOR SUCCESS in life.</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="344" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/8Xz3_vxIvIs&amp;autoplay=0&amp;rel=0&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999&amp;border=0&amp;loop=0" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/8Xz3_vxIvIs&amp;autoplay=0&amp;rel=0&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999&amp;border=0&amp;loop=0" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>We learned that with anything in life, you have to be willing to pay the price and grow! And believe me that there is a price for everything in life. With success there is a price and what is even a worse price is failure. Personal awareness and self development was the right path for us. If you don&#8217;t acquire the skills to become better, you never will.</p>
<p>Becoming a Leader in your business and personal life will set you free to become whatever you want to achieve. When you really want to become a great leader and you want to take your business and personal life along a faster path… your Education &amp; your Expectations is the key which unlocks your success.</p>
<p>When you realize and answer &#8216;YES&#8217; to wanting to become a better leader… then you have the heart of a CHAMPION who will &#8216;do whatever it takes&#8217; to create your dreams.</p>
<p>You will need to trust me to believe there is another view . . . as I have been there and will tell you exactly how it is even if it&#8217;s not what you want to really hear. Making you feel uncomfortable is the best way I know how to make you want more in life. Without change and stepping out of your “COMFORT ZONE”, you’ll always get what you got and don’t you deserve more?</p>
<p>You bet you do!</p>
<p>Now get out there and do what it takes to become a great LEADER!</p>

You may have never asked yourself this question before, but it is a vital question to ask.  This question, as you may have already guessed, matters most if you want to become rich.<br />
<a href="http://daveanddawncook.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/friendsbmp1.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1719 alignright" title="friendsbmp" src="http://daveanddawncook.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/friendsbmp1.jpg" alt="" width="275" height="228" /></a><br />

<p>There is some excellent guidance on this subject as<strong> Robert Kiyosaki&#8217;s</strong> Asset #3 that you gain from your involvement in <em><strong>network marketing</strong></em>.  He actually has eight assets you gain as he describes them in his book <strong>The Business of the 21st Century</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Robert</strong>, like many others I&#8217;ve heard, says that your income will tend to average the income of your five closest friends.  So if you want the average income of your five closest friends to be a sizable amount, <span id="more-1711"></span>you must pick five (or better yet, many) friends who are all rich.</p>
<p><strong>Robert</strong> made the decision at age 15 that he would proactively create relationships with people who were already rich and who wanted to help him become rich. Now I wish I had come to that realization at age 15, but it&#8217;s better late than never, right?  You bet, that&#8217;s right!  And maybe you are much closer to age 15 now than me, and if you are, I hope this message will create that realization for you today!</p>
<p>As <strong>Robert</strong> explains, <strong><em>network marketing</em></strong> is full of rich leaders who are as committed to your success as you are. They will work actively with you, if you ask, and they will likely become your new best friends.</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="344" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/_e0mw7JTc2U&amp;autoplay=0&amp;rel=0&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999&amp;border=0&amp;loop=0" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/_e0mw7JTc2U&amp;autoplay=0&amp;rel=0&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999&amp;border=0&amp;loop=0" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">For many people in <strong><em>network marketing</em></strong>, the friendships created with people who have the same core values as you is more important to you than the money you earn.  After the weekend Dave and I spent in Orlando with our <strong><em>network marketing</em></strong> team, I am beginning to feel the same way. The friends we met previously and all the new friends we met were so inviting and ready to help us on our journey towards self development and financial success.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">We have many more than five new friends now who are millionaires so we definitely agree with <strong>Robert</strong> that <strong><em>network marketing</em></strong> provides a powerful <em>Circle of Friends</em> who are willing to take us with them to reach our goals and dreams!  Do you have that powerful <em>Circle of Friends</em> surrounding you?  If you do, I&#8217;d love to hear your comments on how that greatly benefits you.  If you don&#8217;t have that empowering <em>Circle of Friends</em> yet, you can find one in <strong><em>network marketing</em></strong> and I&#8217;d gladly give you some guidance there if you are interested.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Please leave your comments below!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Committed to Your Success!<br />
