I'm continuing from yesterday on Robert Kiyosaki's description of the difference of big business owners and small business owners. "It's about the size of their business network." Robert said.
As Robert says, "A network marketing business is a new and revolutionary way to achieve wealth."
The reason I put network marketing as an eleventh way of becoming rich all by itself is because it is a revolutionary new way of sharing the wealth with anyone who truly wants to acquire great wealth. A network marketing system is setup to make it possible for anyone to share in the wealth. A network marketing system - a system I often call a personal franchise or an invisible big business network - is, in my opinion, a very democratic way of wealth creation. The system is open to anyone who had drive, determination and perseverance. The system does not really care what college you went to, if you went to one, how much money you make today, what race or sex you are. Most network marketing companies care primarily about how much you are willing to learn, to change and to grow, and whether you have the guts to stick it out through the thick and thin while you learn to be a business owner.
Recently, I listened to an audio recording of a very famous and rich investor, delivering a speech to a famous business school. I do not mention the school's name or his name because what I am about to say is not very flattering. He said, "I am not interested in teaching people to invest. I am not interested in helping poor people get ahead in life. All I want to do is spend time with intelligent people like you, here at (the famous business school.)"
While I personally do not agree with what he said, I still recommend him for his honesty. As a person who spent much of my life growing up with the rich friends of my rich dad, I oftern heard such comments, but they were said discreetly and quietly. In public, they would attend charity events and donate money to popular causes, buy many of them did that only to appear socially acceptable. In their private meetings, I often heard their real thoughts - thoughts that were of similar context to the famous investor speaking the the famous business school.
Obviously, not all rich people share that attitude. Nonetheless, I am constantly amazed at how many rich and successful people are rich and successful because they are greedy and have very little interest in helping those less fortunate. Again, I will state that not all rich people share this attitude, but the percentage is significant from my experience.
A primary reason I support the network marketing industry is that their systems are fairer than previous systems of acquiring wealth. Henry Ford, one of the world's greatest businesspersons, became rich by fulfilling the mission statement of his company, the Ford Motor Company. Ford's mission statement was, "Democratize the automobile." The reason that mission statement was so revolutionary was because at the turn of the century, automobiles were only available to the rich. Henry Ford's idea was to make the automobile affordable for everyone, which is what "Democratize the automobile" means. Interestingly enough, Henry Ford was an employee of Thomas Edison, and in his spare time, Henry designed his first automobile. In 1903, the Ford Motor Company was born. By slashing production costs and adapting the assembly line to mass produce standardized inexpensive cars, Ford became the largest automobile producer in the world. Not only did he make his car affordable; he paid the highest wages in the industry as well as offering profit sharing plans for his workers, redistributing over $30 million annually to them . . . and $30 million was worth a lot more in the early 1900s than it is today.
Tomorrow I will continue on this Revolutionary Way To Achieve Wealth.
