I first learned of network marketing about 20 years ago, when a work colleague invited me to an Amway meeting. I loved the concept and power of the network, but the old style "show the business" meetings, specific tactics to build interest in people - well you guys know about that, and it was my downfall.

So fast forward to recent times, after a 20 year career as a software developer, I now find that the interest in networking is still there, and with modern techniques I can blend the two things in a very powerful way.
