Day 1 in network marketing.

I did NOTHING!

Surely, this relates to some. However for me, I was very much interested in the education it has to offer. If silently sit and introspect myself, it was Robert T.Kiyosaki's audio that had everything to do with the decision I made exactly nine months, in the next 7 days, ago. Coincidentally, the day I clicked the 'Confirm' button was on August 31, 2005. Yes it was that long and I should be a millionaire by now, NOT! Why?

The answer is simple. It is because I did nothing! There is no one else to blame except for my own. Yes I forked out the initial amount... and thank god this model does not require you to start with large capital outlay and best of all no quota and no recurring purchases!

However, every good thing has its disadvantage in disguise. Yes! Yin & Yang. Black & White. one & zeros. Sorry got a bit carried away with philosophy here.

Yes with features highlighted in 'orange' , motivation has an enemy.Why?

Sales people knows very well that nothing drives them but numbers. Project managers knows that they are measured by the quality and deadline delivery of a project. Others would be like my old job, I.T.Specialist. I must achieve 80% utilization at the end of every year otherwise, I will receive a rude call from my dear resource manager. There are other examples and I am not going to cover all. Comments are welcome.

The awakening

The same title came across my mind sometime back, however it is clearer now. The very purpose I am starting this blog was entirely the same purpose that propelled my profile description i.e. I am just a no one in the world of so much confusion, to me.

Fortunately, through friends who are sincere in helping my growth, I truly thank them for showing me the path. Now is mine to crawl, walk, run, ride, drive or strap myself onto a rocket then blast away. However, no matter which mode I decide to take, I must have a destination else I will be flying round and round. Sounds absurd to some who already think they have found the answer to success or already successful. However here I would like to paraphrase someone whom to me is very successful yet humble in every aspect of devotion as a fellow human being;

In defining success to one is unique yet not just the amount of money one has and must attain mindly peace to be able to detach from worldly matters and yet regain them back without a drop of blame on others.

Imagine if you are drop in the middle of desert and walk without a compass. Truly you will find footsteps after hours of walking. Why?

Here I will try not to mention any about network marketing company I am engaged in simply because I don't know if I am legally bound by T&C. Definitely I will find out soon. The following are facts about me and network marketting.

My first ever network marketing company? YES.
Global business possiblity? YES with ease.
Signed up at first sight? NO had doubts.
Made any money yet? YES.
Can prove it? YES
Broke even from initial investment? YES and NO
Do I have USD1Million in my bank account? NO
Is it Lampe.Berger.? NO {reason I brought this up is because it's quite hotly blogged these days}

Truly this is my first year in Network Marketing but my 20th year in networking. Reason is because all of us have been directly and indirectly building relationships all the time unconciously. Just that the relationships were never leverage to the extent of business objectivity because in a century we all are born in, it is ECONOMIC driven. Why?

This blog will place in my, mine, true accounts of being a network marketeer for a company that was build with a strong foundation of belief in growing oneself then help human kind. (Those who is in the same business, sounds familiar? ((wink)))

Occasionally I will invite guest bloggers to help put in a few articles or so to enlighten others of their experience. Maybe even create an online QnA, maybe. I am indeed very excited about this blog because of the vast pool of information within that is pouring out all at once.

However, I am not going to drag this first posting till next page and will stop at this point now.
