It can be pretty scary out there. With rising fuel costs, groceries prices skyrocketing, it is a wonder we all don’t pull our hair out.

 

An interest thing is occurring. More and more people are looking for network marketing opportunities. There is a surge of MLM information out there. Thanks in part to the web, MLM information (and misinformation) are everywhere.

 

We had surge like this during the recession of the late ‘80’s. And why not, MLM is simple to do. And the web does make it easier to find leads, and stay in touch with your customers, associates and prospects.

 

Of course the trick is finding the right information. I have a library of books and eBooks on MLM. One I recommend for the first timer is “Your first year in Network Marketing” by Mark and Rene Yarnell.

 

They list many examples of how your MLM business can get sidetracked. They also list solutions, and give some helpful encouragement. My point, and their’s is not give up, and don’t go off the deep end thinking you will make a million dollars your first year.

 

It takes time to build a solid foundation. You want to find the right people. Basically ask yourself a question. “Would you go into any other type of business with this person?” If your instinct is no, then maybe they might not be good candidates for this business.

 

See, you need to pace yourself. It takes discipline to keep going. If you know the person is a flake. They probably won’t be a good business.

An update on the Walker ridge fire: 14,500 acres have burned. It is now 10% contained.  Several subdivisions have been evacuated, including people that live around Bear Creek, and Wilber Hot Springs. There are air quality advisories from Santa Cruz, CA to Redding, CA. The Spring Valley community is fine; we are just under a think blanket of smoke. I haven’t seen the sky or the sun since Saturday.
