Professionals Turning to Network Marketing For Financial Success
May 24, 2011 | Author Dawn Connelly
Want to hear a surprising fact? Many professionals – lawyers, doctors, accountants, business owners, bank executives – have joined the network marketing industry. It’s true! Just pick up any recent book by Donald Trump and you can’t miss the references to the unique and profound industry of MLM, which has made millionaires out of many people.
This information is extremely important. Why? Because if you are a professional, you may have a whole new world available to you filled with limitless possibilities and huge financial rewards. And, because if you know professionals, this can have a tremendous impact on your network marketing business and career.
Professionals are stopping to take a hard and serious look at the network marketing industry like never before. After almost 10 years of practicing law for a major law firm, I quit and discovered the world of network marketing. As a practicing trial lawyer, I billed an average of 2,400 hours per year. I worked even more than that. The major partners in my firm worked as hard or harder than I was working, indicating to me that there was no light at the end of the tunnel. What is the point of making millions of dollars if you can never take the time to enjoy it? Yet, the network marketing industry can provide personal and financial independence in just five years with some hard work. I will trade a 40 year plan for a 5 year plan any day. Wouldn’t you?
If you know professionals, you should absolutely reach out to them to ask them for a few minutes to hear about your home based network marketing business and the unique, rewarding world of MLM. Professionals can be very successful in this industry. In fact, I am a much happier, healthier, wife, mother, friend, and professional since I gave up the practice of law for the world of MLM. There is a very bright light at the end of my much shorter tunnel.
However, there is a very important element to a professional’s success in any network marketing business. If you are a professional, are recruiting professionals in your MLM business, or you have professionals in your network marketing business already you need to know this. A professional can be tremendously successful in the MLM industry and fast. But, he or she must be willing to use their status as a professional to get there. And, when I say use their status, I mean it in a good way. When presented with my MLM business, I spent 10 days researching this industry and the MLM I was looking at joining. After I had done my due diligence and got started in my business, I was able to honestly tell my friends that this was something I did not enter lightly. Rather, I had done my research, as I always do, and felt this was a once in a life time opportunity. I could say that based on my research, this was a chance to be financially free in just 5 years with some hard work.
Professionals are used to a certain amount of respect that comes along with saying “I’m a doctor” or “I’m the vice-president of a bank” or “I’m a CPA.” Professionals are not likely to last long if they feel they are starting over at the bottom and have no status in their new industry. They likely worked very hard to achieve their professional status and thus, it isn’t easy to just walk away from that. So, both for the sake of the professionals’ longevity in the network marketing industry and for their ultimate success, it is important to use the fact that they are a professional to attain the leadership, financial freedom, and lifestyle they desire.
Three Goal Setting Tips That Will Change Your Life

Three Goal Setting Tips That Will Change Your Life
If you use these three goal setting tips you will be on your way to creating the life you desire.
Goal Setting Tip #1: Where are you going?
This goal setting tip can be summed up with the title of a book my father bought me on goal setting quite a few years ago. The title of the book was “If you don’t know where you’re going you’ll probably end up somewhere else”. Those words have stuck with me all these years. When you think about the title and realize that most people have no idea where they’re going or what they want. It’s really sad. Our minds are goal seeking computers. Just give it a specific goal and it will work to complete it. However, all most people have is vague wandering thoughts of what they want. They’ve never written their thoughts down in a coherent manner.
If you send a message to a friend you don’t write the words down in whatever order and expect them to figure out what it says. Why do we do it to ourselves with what we want out of life?
It’s your job to write down on paper how you want to live.
Get out a piece of paper and start with your top 100 goals. Start writing a list of the things you want to accomplish in your life. I mean anything you can imagine, learning a language, taking a trip, meeting a famous or not so famous person. Write on that list everything from the littlest thing like brushing your teeth twice a day to flying in the space shuttle. Keep making the list until you reach 100, however, don’t stop there. Carry the list with you and continue to write down more goals as you think of them. It may take several hours or days to complete this list. However, it’s essential that you do it.
Goal Setting Tip #2: Let’s get specific
The second goal setting tip, get specific about the things that you want. Take your top 100 list and start with the easiest ones and write a more specific description of what you want. If it’s a car, what make and model, what color, leather or cloth seats. If it’s a trip, where are you going, how will you get there and what will you see. If it’s money, be specific. How much, why do you want it and what will you do with it when you get it. Remember, BE SPECIFIC!
Goal Setting Tip #3: It’s in the want to, you’ll find the how to.
Now let’s discover the key to successful goal setting. Why do you want it? Think about and write on paper why you want each of the dreams on your Top 100 list. Get specific and dig deep to the emotions and feelings that are behind each one. It’s in this step you’ll find which ones you truly are willing to pay the price to get and which ones are not really important.

In Bill Clinton’s 1987 State of the Union Address, Americans were in disbelief when he announced “As the Internet becomes our new town square, a computer in every home — a teacher of all subjects, a connection to all cultures — this will no longer be a dream, but a necessity.” In 2010, Gary Vaynerchuk, author, creator of Wine Library TV and branding expert stated “Everyone – EVERYONE needs to start thinking of themselves as a personal brand. It is no longer and option; it’s a necessity.” Gary says “If you want to stay relevant and competitive in the coming years – I don’t care if you are in sales, tech, finance, publishing, journalism, event planning, business development, retail, service, you name it – you still need to develop and grow your personal brand.” My Branding System will give you the winning edge in your professional and personal life.
