The Power of Self Interest

Network marketing is a nearly-perfect manifestation of the free market. In network marketing, everyone acts in their own self interest.

Acting in your own self interest is nothing more than this -- taking responsibility for yourself. Network marketing thrives on people who refuse to blame others for their problems, people who know that choices, not chances, determine their fate.

What's the "catch" in network marketing. It seems too good to be true. I personally know a lot of people in network marketing who are making full time incomes working on a part time basis, and still others who are making incredibly huge amounts of money. How can this be?

The answer is this. Network marketing unleashes a very powerful force. This force is present in other businesses to some degree, but in network marketing it is pervasive. That force is individual self interest. Network marketing allows each of us to act completely in our own self interest. It frees us to do our jobs exactly way we want to do them, to the degree that we want to do them, on our own schedule and at our own pace.

Now that might sound greedy and selfish, but it is not. Because people quickly discover that it is very much in their self own interest to help other people. And the people who are the most successful in network marketing are the ones who have helped other people the most.

What if every kind of business operated the way network marketing does. What if every employee of every business was paid directly on their tangible contribution to the bottom line? Would we be seeing the restructuring and downsizing and layoffs that we are seeing today? I doubt it.

Network marketing frees people to work strictly for themselves. Given that freedom, network marketers find that their best route to success is to help others. Isn't that great?
