The Power of Networking
Network. (Marketing)
Your business will not go far without either… But Monique and I have noticed a trend of Network Marketers who use the Internet to grow their business neglecting the former.
In fact, Networking has gotten us more business and given us more amazing opportunities than anything we’ve done on the Internet alone.
(Don’t get me wrong, the Internet has actually allowed us to network better.)
It’s how we met our Ultimate Sales Funnel business partners, Eric McMillan and Chris Owen…
It’s how we came to get Jim Yaghi, Ray Fong, and Ferny Ceballos involved in our project…
And it’s how we’ve met many wonderful people who have become friends and acquaintances (more on that later).
==>That’s why Monique and I did a short call on the subject. Make sure and give it a listen…

Another thing I would like to share with you is a short story by an American literary master and one of my idols, Mark Twain…
It tells the story of how a common chimney sweep was able to get the ear of an emperor (a very powerful lesson in networking).
Make sure and read it here…
Lastly, I would like to recognize some of the great people we’ve met through the Internet…
(I apologize if I forget anyone.)
Wayne really knows his stuff when it comes to the details of Network Marketing. His articles are some of the best you’ll read on the industry.
I respect Dwayne for his consistency and all the work he puts into this business despite having a family and a full-time job.
Wayne’s been busy with his real estate gig lately, but the man knows his stuff when it comes to article marketing.
One of the most positive people I know.
One of the funniest guys I’ve met (and also one of the nicest).
Josh really “gets it” when it comes to networking. His enthusiasm and energy are contagious.
Tommy doesn’t mess around — he has achieved A LOT in a short period of time (and is also a great guy).
Another high energy, passionate guy… Hector actually came out of the blue and emailed me the graphics for The Cashflow Marketer a while back (thanks Hector!).
Ilka is one of my favorite people, period. I regularly get the nicest emailed cards from her on holidays and special occasions.
Joyce is one of the few people who would comment and encourage me on some of my earlier blog posts when I first came online.
There you have it — some of my favorite people I’ve met online!
Make sure and visit their blogs and say hi.

You Inspire Me
I have said it before and I will say it again, you and Monique inspire me to do better, do more, give more and try harder. Thank you for that and thank you for the mention.
Dwayne
Great call!
Great call! I picked up so much value. Loved the "keep an open mind, don't feel threatened" part. Very good advice!!
You guys definitely rock!
Keep it up!
Ilka
P.S. Thank you so much for the mention! I am very honored.
P.P.S. You are two of the most kind and giving people I have met online.
Brilliant!
Brilliant job guys. This is the stuff that transcends companies and really cements you as a recognizable leader in the industry.
And thanks guys for telling people the truth about working on the internet. The fundamentals of network marketing haven't changed because of it.
Circle Of Friends
I love the thought behind this. I started out my marketing career an online recluse. I never made contacts with anyone outside of my team.
When I revamped my strategies, and made myself more available, I met some of the coolest friends I have known in my life. That includes most of the people on your list and so many more.
I would never go back to those early days. Working online was a drag before I met you guys.
Hello to all my friends!
You guys are what it's all about!
You are a true champ!
I'm glad that I got to meet a champion like yourself. Thanks for the mention!
