The visionary genius behind Own Your Channel becomes increasingly clearer. Why not build an independent home-based team outside of any network marketing company with the proper infrastructure? Then, when the unthinkable happens with any one company, you still have your team in place to work with another company. Some people have referred to this plan as an insurance policy.

This is a very good point because this IS an industry where building relationships is the only real way to succeed. I believe that the truer the relationships, the stronger the organization. So, even if the opportunity crashes, if the bonds that you've built are real (meaning you have connected and bonded with at least the folks on your front line and they've done the same with their front line & everyone has been taught to do this), then that bond will hold most of your group together through just about anything.

My 1st company my sponsor had 15,000 people in his team. Then he decided to leave the company in the first 24 hours 7,000 followed him into his new company.

Even if you build your business the old traditional way if you build loyalty with your team most will follow you. He told me companies will come and go where teams will last forever if you are loyal to them.

The whole idea of building a spiderweb of people whom you have networked in both inside and outside of your opportunity is key. Not only will this stand you in good stead when your network marketing company disappears off the radar, but also you have other resources available to you at a moments notice.

If we build it right the first time, then we will be fine no matter what the future holds.

thanks for a great post

All interesting points of view about the demise of networkers and/or companies. The point is too many networkers fail for whatever reason. The big question is how can Joe and Jane Public buy into this home business model when so many struggle wihout expected success. That is why it makes logical sense to build an independent home-based team without any affiliation and only join a network marketing company when the team is large enough to make profits. As an independent team you can join several companies simultaenously and make multiple profits. It's time to reverse the order, change the success ratio and have people knock on our doors to catch the "wave" of prosperity.

Makes tremendous sense to me.
