I read a report today by Ellie Drake on the subject of Network Marketing.  To sum it up in a nutshell, she knocked it out of the park!  Kudos Ellie!  Having been in the industry myself, I felt like she had took the words right out of my mouth, the thoughts and conversations that I’ve had COUNTLESS times with individuals, she penned it in a free 45 page report, “The Death of Network Marketing.”. 

It’s really like a “a-ha” moment knowing that my thoughts were not in vain at all!  And having the “vision” to know what’s coming down the road is mind blowing.

Certified Biblical and Business Coach leads Christians in Direct sales to a new level in Faith and business

They are unaware which business they can trust; they are bombarded with offers from franchises, small businesses and even mailers from businesses they have no interest in. The Christian entrepreneur knows he or she should be working for himself or herself; however they are stopped by fear.

Wow, who would have ever “thunk it?” An article written 9 years ago in the New York Times when I was heavily into direct sales, would surface for such a time as this.

You ask, what was that all about?

Well really it’s simple. I became a Tupperware Distributor in 1996. But here’s the deal. I NEVER wanted to do home parties. Not because I don’t think they work, because they do, but because I always see things BIGGER than what the average person does.
