Quick story .…

Imagine with me that you own ‘The Finest Shoe Store‘!

You know that you have the very best shoes available anywhere in the world! Made from the finest materials, the most passionate experienced craftsmen, and without a doubt you wear them yourself everyday because they put that spring in your step you remember from childhood!

The experience is the same wearing any of your shoes, just several different options of the same quality; for different occasions. 

Your, “The Finest Shoe Store” Headquarters, offers all inclusive advantages of unlimited Training and Research, IT Departments, Website Materials and future Updates, Licensing, Patents, Staff Management, Customer Service Departments (with long extended hours), all Employee Salaries and Benefit packages, Product Packaging Design, Trucking and Shipping Departments, several massive stocked Warehouses, Paid Monthly Leases, Land and Architect expenses for developing Headquarters locations throughout the world (not to mention farms throughout to harvest your materials), Property Taxes year after year, Formulas and Processes; on and on and on $$$$$$$$$$…..

Oh yes!, and you keep all the business tax benefits at the end of each year.

QUESTION: Do you make sure nobody finds out that you’re open for business?!! Or do you let everyone know who looks like they might wear shoes, or at least knows someone else who wants quality? Right?! For some people, cheaper or “covered by insurance” doesn’t make side effects a bargain!

**In the first year, how many lives will you change?**

If you help ONE person purchase a pair of your highest quality shoes each month, and each month, those customers told ONE more person, who also buys a pair of quality shoes, and so on, for the next 12 months…..

The answer is 4,095.

Imagine the possibilities if you help ONE MORE!!

So, do you suppose your $200 startup was a good decision, or a bad decision?

THAT, is family and neighborly. THAT is Network Marketing!

And they lived happily ever after.
